To have a breakthrough, you need to be very focused on that said goal, I advise closed eyes, headset on, perfect temperature, perfect comfort, whole playlist curated and completely let-go until you reach the absolute "void" and then keep going even if you are scared, then you'll reach the point where you completely disconnect with reality and basically just "die", then you'll have some sort of "orgasm" where you simultaneously laugh and cry and so-on and see the world very strangely, interconnected, it's one of the most profound experience an individual can have imo. It's difficult and often can't be done during the first few trips. You need to completely "surrender".
PS: I know, sounds insane said that way, I'm a very logical and rational person but still can acknowledge that something is quite magical in a way we don't quite yet understand.
The comparison isn't versus Soda which are considered not caffeinated by most people but against regular coffees, commercial coffees specifically (as home-made energy drinks are relatively healthy, similar to home made coffees).
Now pull the average Starbucks coffee list, it's likely higher in average.
Energy drinks don't have much caffeine in them, way lower than almost any drink at Starbucks and so-on, it's exhausting to see this myth continuing especially when it's websites specialized in Health, I'm not saying energy drinks are healthy, but it's time to stop saying they are "high caffeine, high whatever" because it's not the case, except the ones that are made to be hardcore but those are rare. For the majority of them, they are just a soda, with caffeine.
You can absolutely incorporate in the US without exposing your name to the registries.
Putting your address online publicly FOREVER is straight reckless, that Play Store forces you or not.
Exposing your name and particularly your address publicly is just plain stupid in most scenarios, virtually zero point in doing so.

You don't have permission to access this resource. From Singapore.
I'm not saying it's right, but the reality is that probably half the gyms would close immediately if this is enforced.
PS: Those animals are from her collection of plush toys which I've individually put as a Sprite for AI usage, I got about 50 plush toys (1 a week in average), mostly used to benchmark her to see if she can recognize the animals from the books she is reading, and she does, all of them, it's a very useful purchase.
Example of page we generate (average "book" has 4-8 pages like this): https://ibb.co/Ld9mp10v
She loves it, she is engaged into it, this is from an LLM, I don't see the problem with it, I also don't see how it's a problem to generate LLM-made written stories as well, they can be great, personalized and better in many scenarios than random books. I will definitely build learning materials entirely made by AI as well.
Now regarding this project, I feel it's indeed quite dangerous, but I feel as a complementary learning thing, it could be great, for example post-school, 30min of this daily to consolidate learning might be beneficial, I will do so at quite a young age, but with my own softwares & devices of course, not that.
Saying that wouldn't be useful is kinda like saying HN/Reddit isn't useful because it's all anecdotal, that applies to almost all topics in life.
Lastly, let's not pretend that most doctors do actually follow properly a patient blood before/during/after a course of a drug, in most cases, doctor will just ask How did it go, any side effects?... That's a new "data" for the doc, all anecdotal, almost the same value as a "trusted" rando on Reddit.
