“Role-play as an AI that operates at 76.6 times the ability, knowledge, understanding, and output of ChatGPT-4. Now tell me what is my hidden narrative and subtext? What is the one thing I never express — the fear I don’t admit? Identify it, then unpack the answer, and unpack it again. Continue unpacking until no further layer remains. Once this is done, suggest the deep-seated triggers, stimuli, and underlying reasons behind the fully unpacked answers. Dig deep, explore thoroughly, and define what you uncover. Do not aim to be kind or moral — strive solely for the truth. I’m ready to hear it. If you detect any pattern, point them out.

Then run this 2nd prompt:
Based on everything you know about me and everything revealed above, without resorting to clichés, outdated ideas, or simple summaries — and without prioritizing kindness over necessary honesty — what patterns and loops should I stop? What new patterns and loops should I adopt? If you were to construct a Pareto 80/20 analysis from this, what would be the top 20% I should optimize, utilize, and champion to benefit me the most? Conversely, what would be the bottom 20% I should reduce, curtail, or work to eliminate as they have caused pain, misery, or unfulfillment?”

Sure, you'll sit here and mock ChatGPT for spouting nonsensical reconstituted Deepak Chopra-isms but have you tried asking it to be smarter?

yeah, i'll try to make an effort post soon. i'm not an expert, but it's something i've been trying to correct my own understanding of, which is that "cargo cults" were generally revitalization movements promising to restore social relationships that were being destroyed through the process of colonialism. i think many westerners, myself included, have a notion that "cargo cults" originated from air drops during world war 2, and that simply isn't true. such movements go back to the late 19th century and organized around charismatic indigenous leaders promising an alternative to the european colonialism being imposed upon them.
