Talking about my aquarium, life, and future KZfaq channel. I ramble on about culture, morals, spirituality, and politics.
This video showcases my nano 4 gallon aquascape and nature aquarium in the 3 stone Iwagumi Japanese style.

Do you by chance know the common or scientific name that small sword plant in the left corner of your tank is called?

@ADUAquascaping Ай бұрын

Dwarf Xingu sword. Echinodorus xinguensis. It is fairly delicate in my current setup. It has been taken over by pearl weed but still alive. It would probably do a bit better with more light and nutrients. It faded a bit as the soil became depleted even with adding root tabs

Hey Dave! Doubt you'll remember, but I left a comment about how you inspired me to go back to school a while back on your old vids. Happy to say I'm almost done with my bachelors! Hoping I finally get some time to get back in the hobby. Thanks for uploading, always value your insights.

hi Dave ,,,,,,finally I am able to complete going over the full video . congrats on ur sister's marriage and extremly srry to hear about your dad .... he'll always be remembered & lived by you.Please take ur time to cope up...... healing takes time. We'll wait till Feb 24 and truly speaking youtube is something we do out of love towards hobby. So ur subscribers can wait and as soon as u post content on a regular basis they will tune in and your channel will start thriving. I'll love to listen to your views on politics , global affairs and other stuff. I do follow them a bit and agree with your point on recent woke culture & media. I'll give u one quick example , let's compare Winsten Chruchill & Adolph Hitler. At surface level one will identify one as patriot and another as mass murderer . But, do we know that Churchill killed 10 times more ' Bengalis ' than Jews during WW2 by intentionally creating manmade famine. Given a choice I'll rather walk into gas chamber than starve to death. So, here's how history is written and bias is portrayed always in favor of the winning side. None in the world will tell yo Hitlerr & Churchill both are two different sides of same the evil coin.

That's true. We all have to watch out for lies, hate, and even our own resentment and biases. The media does such a great job of creating hate among people. We have to rise above it all! Fear is always there to try and stop our expansion. We must rise above the fear! I want to make the channel more about morals, culture, health, and spirituality. I don't want to be a political jockey or spread more hate. We all have a dark side, but there is already enough hate in the world that I don't need to spread even more.

I once experienced a state of samadhi after meditating (dharana and dhyana). As I am sure you are aware 😉 I was not expecting this or seeking this experience. It just happened. I was totally sober, too. I stopped my mind and fell into pure bliss and laughed, and laughed like a madman. I laughed like I had never laughed before. I literally lost my mind! Haha. I became Buddha 😄. It was my own experience that is very hard to describe, and I feel blessed that this happened to me. The experience was more intense than any psychedelic drug or anything I have ever experienced. It was pure bliss, love, and warmth. This happened on October 9th, 2021. It was very profound.

Saying "ChatGPT agrees with me" is a horrible argument. ChatGPT has been shown repeatedly to make up answers. It's generating answers that sound like a human. It doesn't guarantee truth or accuracy. If you don't believe me, ask it about a topic you KNOW about and you'll see just how easy it is to get an inaccurate answer. Or, search KZfaq for people that demonstrate it by showing you their queries and the responses.

OK, many other people also agree with my sentiments and conclusions. It doesn't give me direct answers. I have to probe and debate with it in order to gain clarity on a topic. These are moralistic insights, so we can find just as many studies that agree as we can that disagree. I argue with it all the time. I know how biased and inaccurate it can be. I correct and educate it often, haha. I am convincing it, not the other way around. It eventually agrees with me, not I agree with it. If it weakens my arguments, then I won't make an appeal to the AI. I will just assume authority 😉 😜

It's extremely biased towards woke sentiments, to say the least, so I am always getting it to eventually contradict itself. It's preprogrammed to be left of center. I am a "don't throw the baby out with the bath water" type of person because we really aren't more intelligent than the wisdom of our ancestors. That being said, I am open-minded and will consider new concepts. Refinement, integrity, morals, beauty, perseverance, charity, responsibility, and optimization matter, in my opinion. I am biased towards Japanese and Germanic cultures. In my opinion, they are better in many ways.
