5. Polarity and the Middle Path
Hermeticism: The Principle of Polarity — everything is dual, but extremes are the same in essence; balance is mastery.
Buddhism: The Middle Way — avoid the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification.
Overlap:
Mastery lies in reconciling opposites, not fleeing from them.
Balance = power.
6. Self-Discipline as the Engine of Liberation
Hermeticism: The initiate must discipline thought, emotion, and action to ascend the planes of existence.
Buddhism: Sīla (ethics), Samādhi (concentration), Paññā (wisdom) form the threefold training.
Overlap:
Liberation is not gifted—it’s cultivated.
Control of the self = access to higher reality.
7. Illusion of the Ego / False Self
Hermeticism: The ego must be transcended to commune with the All; personality is a vehicle, not the soul.
Buddhism: Anattā (no-self) — the self is a convenient fiction; clinging to it generates dukkha (suffering).
Overlap:
The "self" is a mask, not a master.
Awakening = seeing through identity.
8. Time as a Construct / Rebirth
Hermeticism: Time is a motion of mind; cycles repeat; rebirth occurs through planes unless transcended.
Buddhism: Samsāra — a cycle of birth and death, perpetuated by ignorance and craving.
Overlap:
Time is not linear—it's recursive.
Escape requires self-realisation, not external salvation.

Lmao nah, that’s total bollocks.
You do not need a £5k setup to "train your AI"—unless you're trying to fine-tune something like GPT-4 from scratch (which is corporate-level nonsense). Here's the real breakdown:
If you're just trying to make an AI do what you want:
You can fine-tune small models (like LLaMA, Mistral, or Phi) on a modest consumer GPU (even a 3060 or lower).
You can customize behaviour using prompt engineering, context injection, or LoRA adapters—most of which don’t need crazy specs at all.
Hell, you can run text-generation-webui or LM Studio with 4GB+ VRAM, no problem.
4090 + i9 is for people who want:
Massive training speed (e.g. training a 13B model in hours not days)
Running multiple local models + Stable Diffusion + voice + video generation all at once
Flexing on /g/
It's not required. It's just peak performance.
