  2. What car do you recommend?

    OmniNaut replied to r0ckyreed's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    More and more car manufacturers are trying to get vendor lock-in, when it comes to repairs. They want to control the parts, with ridiculous mark-ups, they want to control the labour. They will basically try to copy Apple when it comes to vendor lock-in when it comes to maintenance and repair. Their excuse is about safety and controlling the quality of the repair, but it's the same excuse for giving up privacy for preventing child rape. That's why the Right-to-Repair movement is so important now. The EU is fighting back with repairability and sustainability laws. People like Louis Rossman fighting against tech companies, like Apple, HP and many more. People like Mat Armstrong, Mark McCann, RichRebuilds trying to fight companies like Bugatti, BMW, Audi, Lucid, Fisker, Tesla. Ofcourse they do it for entertainment and viewers, but they are exposing the schemes that are going on now in the Car industry. These channels are getting so much attention that car brands are trying to save their brand image, by denying their strategy or in some cases changing their policies.

  3. What car do you recommend?

    Luxury cars are quieter inside, less road noise, and ride better, and then have a bunch of ridiculous features. If you commute in an urban environment I think sports cars are practical and safer, you can drive more defensively, ridiculously better brakes and wheels, and you can filter through traffic better with the power, get into traffic faster and safer. I feel like they will evolve the category name to something else in the future, more responsible sounding. Traffic is dangerous, the most dangerous thing most people are exposed to. Toyota is usually the most economically maintainable. Mazda is actually being acclaimed for this lately too. If you don't drive much, a low mileage vehicle that is a bit older would save a lot on purchase price, and brand doesn't matter as much. If you have much of a highway commute, the compact cars actually do worse mpg at the higher speeds, but better in the city.

  5. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    ok sure i guess its all hearsay at the end of the day, but how fuckin hard could it be to turn some water into wine, make some fish and bread pop up out of nowhere, or walk on water? There have been like 100 billion+ humans throughout history, why wouldnt it be possible for someone to be born with such abilities? Aside from the resurrections (Which are not only exclusive to jesus), jesus doesnt have any crazy OP powers. Also what do you think is the limit of mystical abilities, like you seem to be more open to nonphysical stuff like telepathy or telling the future rather than physical tangible "miracles"
  6. AI is a decent tool though for helping plan stuff and build skills. Like using it to bounce around ideas and do research, but yeah delegating it it too much ain't good.
  7. I think that's bullshit For a period of time, yes, you have to focus on your means. But getting truly wealthy requires generations, it's best to utilize time, not brute force, brute force leads to ruin not wealth. The artistic side of you is what will build relationships, and buildup amazing children that will be able to build upon what you do. Relationships are how the wealthy get wealthy.

  9. Why do you think so?
  10. I think it's gonna be easier than ever to have your cake and eat it too in the AI age. The legacy answer would be to have a cashflow business that finances your art and other pursuits but most businesses that do well take so much energy and time that you won't have much left over to work on the passion project. If I were you I would definitely finish that book and read Alex Hormozi's books on business models and offers so you can learn how to make a lot of money efficiently so you can either start your passion project on the side or stack up enough to quit and go full time in the other one like Leo did with Actualized.org
  11. @Leo Gura, nice share about the Gospel. I didn't know about it.
  12. victim complex
  13. I don't think it's as simple as this. By using AI you reduce your costs and unlock many types of endeavours that wouldn't be possible otherwise and thus you can afford to be much more original and creative. For example in the film industry they cannot afford to be creative because film budgets have ballooned. Soon independent film makers will be able to produce their own short films and after that feature films that are 10x better than any recent Hollywood garbage.
  14. Don't use AI
  15. @Lyubov if you want to be original, you need to be an original person. You can't try to be original as that will be too fake. Instead be original, think for yourself, have your own taste, opinions and be the unique person that you are. That is what makes you original, you, there is no one like you, so why would we copy and paste like a robot when we are humans that have original ideas, interests, thoughts, I am very original, because I am not a copy and paste, rather an inventor or free thinker. Then everything I learn from others might work as inspiration, but I always have the ambition to take it to the next level, to be an inventor rather then another copy cat.
  16. You're right but I would then say it's then on you to not build a relationship with someone who's wants and needs are incompatible with yours. That's why an optimized dating strategy that leads to an abundance of dating options is important. A lot of marriages are built on incompatibility and both partners end up having to overtly and covertly manipulate and coerce each other to get their needs met. There are enough dating resources out there that there is no need to have to settle for a relationship like that.
  17. @Natasha Tori Maru telepathy? I am not able to do telepathy
  18. Jesus derided morality, "will to power!"

  20. Your camera can be off btw, and just listening. Anyone on the forum is allowed to join.
  21. Religion was only ever needed for survival because of religion
  22. Construction that lacks sufficient intelligence to make people recognize its own constructed nature, which is why it gets hijacked by the ego. The ego is more intelligent than religion. Religious people are bunch of egos underestimating the power of their own need to survive. They don't understand that their ego is also a construction of a deeper kind.
  23. @Natasha Tori Maru this is a very nuanced question. I approached some girls at night, realising they were crying and then they have a friend caring for them, so then I just wish them well and leave them in their own space. This is a stranger so I don't feel like I should give them emotional support, but lets say it is my partner. Then crying can mean all different things. For example, one time I told my girlfriend that I didn't exist, she cried and then we had a very spritual experience of oneness, we later had this same thing during sex where actually we were both crying. So that is almost a holy cry of letting go. Now I also have seen crying that is a bit attention seeking, this I just still care of course, but I can sense it is not genuine, especially the older I get, it can even be manipulative. But if it is very genuine, then I feel it is beautiful, also I feel closer to her, because she is willing to be vunerable with me. For example when her dog died, she cried so much and I was just able to be there for her, I hold her in my arms and my whole shirt gets wet from her tears, but I don't care, I feel good that she goes to me to open up and be vunerable with. If a girl is always tough around you and never cries, then I feel like she is not trusting me to be vunerable with me, which to me is very bad. It isn't so much about crying as just being able to be vunerable with me which also includes crying and therefor whatever is vunerable and genuine feels very beautiful, whatever is fake and manipulative that is more off putting.
  24. Religion is God for people with very low IQ.
  25. I am aware of him but I have nothing to say to him.
  26. 👏 Im.here for it Art
  27. Depends on the reason. Girls will cry for the silliest reasons. Or it can be a serious reason. Ignore the silly and take the serious seriously.
