I want to run an experiment: tantric sex involves mindfulness and makes the body release a lot of chemicals that improve empathy and certain cognitive functions, and reduces stress. So why don't we for example discuss alignment, or do superforecasting while having casual tantric sex with a partner? We can have AI notetaking tools record it ambiently. I take this as similar to how people on certain psychoactive substances can have surprising breakthroughs - by altering the state of the brain, maybe we can bring fresh perspectives? Perhaps with sex (establishing a vulnerable, trusted environment), we can examine priors with less fear?
