  2. It's also the bastion of innovation. If you want to empower yourself and your community then american ideas and resources are still world class. Starting with entrepreneurship and AI. I see a lot of people on this forum complaining about the state of the world and it's trajectory and very little about what you're personally doing to improve it for yourself and others.
  3. "... this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper." - T.S. Eliot, The Hollowmen
  4. I 60% disagree with the spirit of this topic, especially because it's in the geopolitics section. Most human thoughts are not quality nor helpful. They are expressing feelings of usually confusion or sadness about topics. Which is understandable but let's not pretend it's gonna solve the very real problems that we are facing as a species. AI is gonna be much better suited for that purpose. There is of course a place for social media to be about emoting and conversing with humans but IMO separating that from actual problem solving is mandatory. AI can be used to identify the root causes to issues and track the progress towards fixing them. People can then utilize their time, energy and resources to fixing them. Random chit chat is separate from that.
  5. Yes when understanding ends, God begins. Look at a tree in such a way.
  6. In total, considering it all, evil is never good, but, evil can and is being nullified. The nullification of evil is certainly good, always and forever.
  7. If you're try to discredit my arguments then you'll have to explain. Otherwise we'll just assume that they go beyond your intellectual ability. Do you not see how the different nodes of our species are moving closer and closer together? Our financial systems have been uniting and soon our language barriers will drop. World peace is a very simple concept really, it boils down to a global monopoly on violence that makes state warfare and even violent crime impossible.
  8. They refuse to make a deal while Iran still pursues an uranium enrichment program. Seems half fair to me. We'll see how things progress.
  9. Good transhumanism will radically improve our healthcare system. We need to get religious folks out of any health policy decisions. They unironically advocate for death as a more natural healthcare solution than actually curing diseases.
  10. Nothing extraordinarily involved, mostly depends on how much control over the DB and other resources the current software gives. People have done such migrations before, so there's a good deal of tutorials and helper scripts in the wild; could also hire a dev for that or use AI assistance, provided one understands the code it outputs enough to review and troubleshoot it. The learning curve is quite accessible. https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-invision-ipboard-v4-forums-to-discourse/353763 https://xenforo.com/community/threads/migration-from-invision-community-to-xenforo.217184/ Discourse seems more geared towards company support boards rather than communities such as this, for instance OpenAI uses it, there's that extended labeling/tagging that's useful for bug reports and whatnot but would be redundant here https://community.openai.com/

    That's a good point generally guys that grew up with sisters tend to do better with women.
  12. Hence the western inclination to demonize it. Literally.

    “The simpler your life, the more meaningful” …
  15. what does it take for someone to be good at doing this in their own life? What I am about to request is selfish and may be narrowed minded and I am following my Tao - I am looking for answers in the from of stories, real personal and well written life events. I can find and have found the answer to my question online and it was very good because it came from Google Gemini , I say this because the answer can be very straight forward what I am seeking is true depth into your soul and poured into mine. Thanks!!!
  16. With respect: experiencing is a function of consciousness. Ego is a motive, but unlike the others, it's a motive for motives. It's "amplifying" . it's the primordial source of "MORE". Ego is the "wind in your sails". Ego "fans the fires of your desire". Christian doctrine associates this power with Satan, the Prince of the Air.

    Chapter 7 The All in All Attention is derived from the latin root meaning to stretch out. This links to the notion that mind is all and also brings about the premise that there are laws of the universe. The chapter eludes to the difference between the individual and divine ego, this parallels the Hindu idea of atman.

    Alright, so I had a good day today. 7 hours studied. Some workout done. I felt lonely earlier because I had no drive. At least that's what I gather so far. It's still a theory I am developing. I wasn't a coward today because I had that drive which overcame the fear of starting. I wasn't a sloth either because that drive to be better made me feel more comfortable working towards my goals than not. I think I am starting to grasp how to convert Sloth into Diligence and Cowardice into Courage. Still far from done with these compulsions though. I think I'll have to do this in stages. Every compulsion can be various stages to overcome, where being at the bottom means you are completely overrun by that compulsion and unable to convert it and the last stage where you have almost complete control over it. I think whatever this model is, I have might have crossed the first stage with at least Sloth, if not Cowardice too. The next one I want to work on is Gluttony because it seems connected enough that a strong internal drive may convert it into temperance. However, I am not declaring yet that I will work on it.
  19. @Breakingthewall spirituality can be one of the biggest ego traps, as it is mixed with truth, making it very hard to find your own deceptions and lies. Obvious lies are easier to track than lies mixed with truth.
  20. I was wondering how feasible it would be to switch it to something like Discourse. https://discourse.org/
  21. ??? This forum is one of the worst UX wise, feels like we're back in 2010s. The advanced formatting and customization features are especially lacking. Not to mention the bizarre caching issues; case in point I had to retype this post from scratch as the whole thing got nuked after switching to another tab for like 2 mins (no it's not just my browser), and then other times it will fuck up text alignment or some such so persistently that not even clearing site data helps, gotta login from incognito/another device to reset it. Night and day visiting this vs. e.g. DMT-Nexus & Bluelight that run on XenForo. Even good ol' phpBB is better if you're willing to take some time with plugins and modifying the defaults. The only supposed advantage of Invision is the OOTB package, but that also makes it bloated and overpriced. Complexity doesn't always equal quality.

  23. Thanks for the effort, but to me it sounds largely performative or superficial. I'd just rather you get some of it already - for example, regarding fantasy. There's a lot of pulling out to do.
  24. ..., a total explosion of freedom AND restraint. The power is simultaneously extroverted AND introverted, exploding AND contracting. The contractions are shaping the myriad of manifestations. Arguably, the contractions are far more powerful than the expansion, because the singular nearly infinite expression of power is subservient to the many.
  25. On spot..Its called fractination. Girls love abusing relatioships. But the good she told him...so she seems aware of the situation
  26. I did my best to add value, but maybe I'm just losing my time. This was a simple post. I'm quite exhausted of reframing my whole metaphysics and epistemology every time. I've taken serious serious time in understanding all your positions. Literally I've spent much effort to understand everyone's perspectives on this forum. I don't see that effort reciprocated to me.
