👉 View the ledger hereOver the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

I was a major fan of Advaita concepts, especially sunyata from Buddhist philosophy. Now I want to kill myself. Extrapolate from those facts what you will.

There's this mathematical problem that mathematicians can't seem to solve (this is from a book I read some time ago so might not explain it correctly):
What if you have a sum that goes... 1 - 1 + 1 -1 + 1 - 1 + 1 into infinity, what is the outcome of the sum? Is it one or zero?
The answer lies in the middle really, it's both one and zero, which is what non-duality means to me. In terms of life and death you might want to read the thought experiment of Schrödingers cat: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat

Seems yea, I'd say infinity is only a limit and can never actually be reached. There's no number that can come before infinity (infinity-1) and it's like the equation y = 1/x. The equation never actually reaches the X axis or y axis
Even if you kept counting all day everyday and removed death, boredom, etc. You will never actually cease counting at a certain point it would just be an infinitesimal series that's not reached
