I read every book I get. I love a book as a present because I can talk about the book with the person. I read 3 - 5 books a month so its not a problem to go through. If I don't have time I get the audiobook and go through it like that. Sometimes I hate the book though.

Only get a dog if you're working from home and you can be with it all day. Do not get a dog if you're gonna leave it at home for 10 hours a day in isolation As you go to work. They are not built to be alone, they all have separation anxiety.

Nice. Do you do them often? The only retreat I have ever attended (7 years ago) was a Vipassana retreat in Spain, which for me honestly was the most relaxing holiday of my life. Nothing to do but eat, sleep and meditate... it really doesn't get any more chill than that. Though I understand that for many people it's a quiet challenging experience to go through, but I actually found it pretty enjoyable tbh. -
Leo is perfect exactly as he is!!! Likely The most unbiased person on planet Earth!! SHow me one human being who has this epistemic integrity I DARE UU!!!

1) Do work to improve the audio quality. 2) Use AI to animate what you're saying. So you could start with one of the images, but then have AI just design the animation after you record the audio and everything like that. You can also work with the AI to fix the audio.

That’s too bad, I used to like their channel when they started, it was silly meme type videos and maybe adult swim vibes, not meant to take seriously. I always thought you have to keep your love relationships outside of the internet because if shit hit the fan like here, cheating or not, the internet will make it a HUGE deal. Coming back to creating content will feel weird I assume and the comments will keep bringing out your past. I guess they both share the H3 Podcast and someone has to keep it right? It’s quite messy.

Most rapists are not men who struggle to get sex. Rape is rarely about sexual needs. It’s about power. This is very well understood academically, you need only google it. You said sex is more fundamental than power, but no. That’s wrong. The reason power makes sexual dynamics so hot is that power is often a prerequisite to sex. In the past, powerful men got the most sex and so these concepts of sex and power are tightly interwoven within our biology. Obviously this can be expressed in healthy ways, but as a result of this a certain number of people desire really extreme or fucked up power dynamics. This creates rapists and pedophiles and the like. It’s actually more common for men who have been in relationships, married, or slept around to rape a woman than men who are sexless. Again, you need only use google to see this is quite well established. Really it wouldn’t surprise me if most of the guys who commit the crime of rape have slept around a lot. A sense of entitlement, not taking no for an answer, a need for power, and a need for control are all major motivators for rape. And as fucked up as it is, these traits overlap with superficially charismatic men, who probably don’t struggle to manipulate women. On an even more fucked up point, the guys who struggle to get laid are probably largely incapable of committing the crime of rape. Again, this is incredibly fucked up and there’s no nice way to say it, but rape is not easy. It requires a certain messed up kind of confidence and strength that your average socially anxious sexless normal man probably just does not have. One final point, most sexless men aren’t craving sex itself. They’re craving the love and desire that comes with it. Which of course you would not get from forcing someone to have sex with you. In short: Incel > doesn’t really have sex, craves love in the form of sex Rapist > probably already has sex, but craves more power in the form of forced sex, or views sex as a way to assert dominance

@Majed I think this a complex issue requiring a multi pronged approach due to the variation in psychological profiles behind people who commit rape, both men and women. Currently, the research on female sex offenders isn't as robust as the research on male sex offenders. The combination of issues to address in my opinion include the following. Alcoholism, untreated PTSD, Veteran integration, war prevention (war often leads to rape due to impunity), sex education, sufficient funding for child protective services, teaching children resources their parental abusers wouldn't tell them about, a continued evolution away from the entitlement worldview, Growing recognition of marital rape, Pedophilia prevention similar to Germany which shows promising results with destigmatization, institutional oversight such as in schools and churches by preventing private lessons, a culture more broadly structured for crime prevention that doesn't rely just on the justice system, conflict management and broader social networking to prevent isolation in abusive relationships, effective means of protecting people in immediate danger, accountability for the rich and powerful, blocking CSAM to prevent material from spreading which monetizes trafficking, and many other issues as well. Trafficking and incest are the hardest in my opinion and I don't think there is a clean solution. In the event that you are born to a father who is a gangster, and he likes to hang out with pedophiles who are interested in child prostitution deals while being crack addicts, then how can you realistically prevent child abuse in this situation? In this situation you don't even no what trafficking is until the last minute. I asked experts and political scientists on this issue and they argue that policy wise, there is almost nothing that can be done to protect a child in this situation. At best we can look for general patterns across society aimed at crime prevention, but if a parent betrays a child then realistically policy alone won't be able to solve such a thing. International law and coordinated global efforts should be able to stop human trafficking to some degree, but I doubt that even if we somehow did close the jurisdictional gaps which allow this, that it would ever be enough to stop some parents from betraying their children. This would require a broader cultural and social change which allows a child to have multiple trustworthy adults able to watch each other, but I don't think it would be enough. There is even the problem of siblings sexually abusing other children. If a person's brain development can't be held to the same standard as an adult, then this complicates rape prevention. Family is in my opinion one of the biggest challenges to solving this issue. Parents claim to protect children, but because of their position they are the ones who are most able to exploit such a vulnerability. Rape can realistically be reduced through a multi pronged complex intervention, but it would not be enough be prevent familial betrayal.

I will hide this, but I do think it would be really cool if for Leo it was just a pure thread listing perceived biases. Maybe we could start a convo thread to discuss this one, and then clear out all the non-bias clutter posts here.

Update: These movies are tryina be like the ultimate stymie cuck job of suck like... The intention is like, "the neverending reveal of some transgender coming out of the closet like it didnt happen in 1999", like whatever that infinite sentiment is, it should be done and retired, the constant farenheit 911, cobra19 and the cobra event, etc., like we want to watch the passion of a thing that someone had, that isnt that like, weird personal thing of christ, but something that people relate to, since its blending all the elements that people are gonna feel, like we've been colliding w/ twin towers over, over and over and over and over... i feel like. Pleease tell me yous understand wat im saying... as its so flippin obvvious.

@trenton As Lord Natasha has said we should not derail but this is an amazing topic. Let's discuss what people's epistemic rating is in a different thread.

Try not to derail too much all

@integral I like chess analogies because I'm a chess player. I remember that chess courses are excellent but have diminishing returns once you are above 2000. Also to a beginner it is as if there is no difference between playing me, a world champion, or a computer because you will be crushed no matter what. I would love to know how we would go about figuring out what my rating would be. Do you have an ideas for estimating this? Is Leo like a Grandmaster level, but not perfect? How would we figure out my epistemic rating? Maybe you can evaluate me after I make my summary of project Steelman in video format. The part where I get stuck a lot is metaphysics though. It doesn't look like thought and contemplation can get very far if it does not grasp the terrain on which it stands. Therefore on a metaphysical level, I run into I don't know quickly. I can get creative and come up with different interesting perspectives, but if I am starting from scratch and not taking anything Leo said for granted, then I don't get very far and I just don't know. What questions should I even be asking? Currently I am exploring whether or not control is an illusion, but I currently don't know. Are you able to estimate my rating relative to whatever Leo would be? Also what do you think your rating is and why? How can we improve?

First of all, good lenght of video, you could edit out more parts between talking. like cut out dead space of silence so it sounds more quick. What I do with my videos where I know they go viral. Is I think first for a day long about the best title and thumbnail. It can literally take multiple days to figure that out, but it is the most important thing. Then spend all your time only focusing on 3 things. thumbnail, title and first 30 seconds. This video's first 30 seconds there was no hook, I felt 0 emotion to wanting to watch the video further. And just for the sake of helping you I watched maybe 1 minute. If you don't want your face to be on it, it needs to also be more visual, I like to put in gifs in the video, maybe some music in the beginning. So when I talk about politics, I might put a photo of trump on it for 2 seconds. The video picture is now very static, just one video of a paper on it and your face not being on it is also not helping. Atleast when your face is on it there is more movement. Ultimately it is a video, not a audio, so the video needs to have movement and constant movement. Peoples attention span is very short. Anyways, think for a day or 2 days about a title and thumbnail, then workout a video around it. Optimise your thumbnail as much as possible. Work on the hook. Those are the main priorities for now.

@Natasha Tori Maru My pleasure

The downstream effects of love, connection, oneness, unity, nonduality and recognition of God conciousness are huge. I think you correctly identify one of these downstream effects in how we relate to each other - in how we express love, connection and pleasure through sex.
-
@Natasha Tori Maru Yes i agree.
-
Yep 100%. This is identifying all the other factors that contribute to why people rape. You identified social learning and social norms... Rape can also be caused by entitlement, disregard of consent, power, domination, aggression, coercive attitudes. Situational factors like impaired inhibition... sometimes personal affect/personality. There are more I am sure! The solution has to address all these causes. The underlying concept is very interesting. implementing it would require a much broader systemic shift.
-
Right that's like a self restraint tactic. When you know you can't help having a bias or an emotional skew on something, then you can adjust the "i dont know" nob a few notches higher for that topic. Feel into the unknown more. Instead of that feeling of conviction on a stronger built connection. Knowing tends to boil down to a feeling you have where it feels strongly that it is true. Chess will punish that feeling over and over and over again Until you only feel it When your intuition is aligned with truth.
-
You recognise and deeply know that other IS you. How could you participate in an act of self violation unless you do not recognises other as part of yourself, as yourself? Connection IS unity, is ONE, is infinity. Good connection to make
-
@Natasha Tori Maru I feel like a lot of rape is fuled by artificial cultural expectations and demands about losing one's virginity or having a high body count, or that having sex means you're successful and cool, etc... If we eliminate this immature notion of sex, to incorporate it in a broader notion of love and connection, which could be artistic and spirtual, not just purely physical, a lot of rape would automatically stop, because people would stop feeling the shame around not getting this toxic version of sex society has invented.
-
@Natasha Tori Maru oh wow, consciousness in that sense probably has something to do with it feeling absolutely not normal for me, I got into spirituality very early so maybe that is why it never even has been a thing for me, not even a thought. So I think more unconscious you are the more it leads to more violent/seperate based behavior and thoughts.
-
This is either changing position or qualifying what you originally meant (which is fine, sometimes we express our original premise better after review/dialogue, or we just phrased it a particular way). Sexual deprivation as the explanation for rape to a broader worldview change. The missing mechanism is why someone who disregards another person's agency would adopt the proposed worldview, or why that worldview would prevent them from doing so?

While I'm not claiming his board is truth, only that practicing against his epistemic chessboard is a good board to practice on. It also depends on your level. If you're at a 1000 rating, then Leo's chessboard is as good as truth, But at the higher levels, 2000, 2500, 3000 rating, that's when his chessboard won't be as beneficial for your training. And you need to rely on yourself a lot more. Ideally, your own self-audit is epistemically perfect. But that's never going to happen because people are at a certain level of epistemic development. It tends to be very low and it's easy to deceive yourself because you're high.
