Hi, Everyone,   This thread has come about because I get asked a lot of questions on various threads.   In an effort not to hijack people's threads, I'm just going to ask folks to put any questions you may have here.   For those of you who may not have read any of my stuff on here, and for those who have, here's a VERY brief bio. (Dear GOD I hate talking about myself in the third person! But here we are!):   Infolad1 is a professional Illustrator, writer, and designer, with 39 years of experience on that end of things.   On the esoteric end of life, for the past 27 years, Infolad1 has practiced Theurgy, Neidan, Meditation, Waigong, Qigong, Neigong, Neidan, Shen Gong, Tao Gong (and has been a fan of the original Gong Show for years ), Ancient Egyptian Cultivation, Taoist Cultivation, a dash of Mahayana Buddhism Kabbalah, Yoga, Pranayama, Laya Yoga, Yang Style Tai Chi Quan, Chen Style Tai Chi Quan, Baguazhang aka Bagua Quan, Bagua Zhang, Pakua Chang, Pa-Kua Chang, Pa Kua Chang, Iron Body Nei-Gong, Iron Crotch Nei-Gong, and...Okay, that's enough now. Jeez!   I also do extensive research and comment on Information Theory, Simulation Theory, History, Pop Culture, Comics, TV, Film, Anime, Animation, EDM, Science and Technology in general, AI, Health and Wellness, Life Extension, Longevity,  Bootstrapping/Startup Culture, The so-called "Paranormal", and other "Weird S#@%".   So this thread will be the question depot for all of these things. If it's anything personal, just message me.   I'll answer them as soon as I can. My life, like everyone on here, is super busy these days, and getting busier.   I'm here to help If I can. Cheers!
