  3. @Leo Gura The extend of a devil's devilry when you know for a fact he shoots kids in the head already is unfathomable. Sataniahu has been gaslighting the US to join his wars for decades, and I won't even go to JFK or the witnesses and firefighters of 9/11. Just because your mind can't imagine such sickness it doesn't mean it isn't possible. Before he was even pronounced dead, both trump and sataniahu has already made a Twitter post the same exact minute, if that doesn't seem suspicious idk what does. Also you misinterpreted tht evidence completely, all those "lefty" evidence are explicitly groyper protocol. He was as right wing as it gets in fact, he seems to have committed the murder because Kirk wasn't conservative enough (like Fuentes). Not everything should be taken face value Leo, come on man....
  4. The party against violence, everyone, the party of love! Coming to a church near you! WWJD, kill em! Calling them fascist is inciting violence though. @Inliytened1 Kilmeade is a POS Nazi
  5. I'm learning about the various types of bodies of water. I'm very slowly going through the nature book I bought, but there's a lot to unpack. I've never studied nature much beyond an environment class I took years ago, and I like to understand the basics of how things work. I'm especially interested in nature. So I'll get through like one sentence or paragraph and then go deep down into the wikipedia rabbit hole. Ecotones An ecotone is a fancy word for (at least, I’ve never heard it before) transitional areas between two plant communities, where they gradually blend together and meet and integrate. It’s especially rich in life because oftentimes/usually both communities on plants and animals overlap within the ecotone, alongside additional specialized species living within the ecotone. So these overlaps creates a lot more plants and animals. Examples include grassland + forest, estuaries, freshwater + seawater, river + land, city/urban + non urban environments. (All are rich in lifeform except with the urban environment being different/unique. Only more hardy, specified animals survive there, such as coyotes, red fox, and deer.) The word ecotone comes from the combination of ecology + the greek word tone which means tension, so, a place where ecologies are in tension. A few different signs of ecotones: These mini environments can have sharp plant vegetation transitions, gradual, or inbetween. Physical appearance of the plants are also an indicator, like a transition from short to tall plants.Then, a change in species is an indicator as well. Changes in physical environment also create ecotones, whether manmade or not. Such as a forest clearing, or a mountain slope/edge. Plants are in competition within an ecotone. (Wouldn't it suck to be a sentient plant, if the plant had the ability to desire to survive!) Animals can take advantage of being mobile and traveling. Ecotone and ‘ecoline’ are similar yet different words. Ecotone is where two communities mix, and ecoline is a gradual change along a gradient, and is a spectrum of conditions: like moisture, temp, altitude, salinity. Like the changing of altitude. Some nice info here: https://earth.org/borderlands-of-wonder-how-ecotones-support-biodiversity-and-resilience/
  6. That changes things a lot. She would not be doing that unless there was at least still some interest on her end to continue things. Just build a little bit of rapport and then shoot your shot.
  7. I choose Truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, over Falsehood that betrays me.
  9. Today
  10. Very interesting video, watched it all, but I have some questions, I wasn't fully convinced by the argument around prioritizing truth over family. The argument Leo brought up in the video is that if one prioritizes their family over truth, their family might get corrupt. At the same time, I can use this argument the other way. Imagine one was to prioritize truth over family. But they end up in a situation where someone puts a gun their family member's head. This is not to say that I think family must be above truth, either. But I am not sure why do we need this notion of truth being the top value and being higher than other values. Why can't we just say truth must be an important value for an individual? It seems to me like it's making the video's content more controversial, and would make it harder to reshare this video with someone else. I feel like there is a bias towards likeminded people with INTP-type of thinking, which corrupts the video and makes it more difficult for this type of content to spread more broadly. I can see there a fundamental message here that lots of people would benefit from, but saying truth should be higher than family seems to hinder the effectiveness.
  11. Right Fragility
  12. First one was a cybersecurity company, providing IDP and passwordless MFA for enterprise, built on top of a novel algorithm made by me. My second company is building novel observability and steering tools for LLMs and agents. Without a shadow of a doubt. One of the most impactful experiences in my life. When it comes to academic disciplines, such as mathematics, you should think of Harvard like Hogwarts. They don't hold your hand but drop you in the deep waters. The intensity of some of my math classes made me hallucinate sober akin to a 150ug LSD trip. When it comes to people, about half are dumbwits who got in because of varsity sports, family donation or legacy (i.e a relative went there before them). But among the rest there are some special individuals. The name alone has opened doors I otherwise could not have walked through.
  14. The reason I care less is slightly different. I do believe the space of minds is very high-dimensional and comparable IQ points do not translate in terms of which submanifolds you can access from that space. Consider a crude example of Terence Tao v., Grothendieck. The first is an analytic prodigy and you see this in the type of math he is prolific in - harmonic and real analysis. When he was young and tested by specialists, they remarked he was willing to overlook faster and more intuitive spatial solutions for the sake of bashing it out analytically. Grothendieck was very famously the opposite - analytically/procedurally slow (Grothendieck prime 57) but visually and intuitively an absolute freak. That said, I also don't fully discard IQ as a marker. I don't believe it is normally distributed (\sim \mathcal{N}(100, \sigma)), but rather Heavy-Tailed. My Abstract Algebra professor was Noam Elikies, who by all accounts is most likely with an IQ above a 200. And you can fucking tell - he feels like an actual alien.

  15. I am God

    Jehovah increases replied to trenton's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God

    Thanks for sharing your story. I get it, I am reality, which is God, to many nitpickers on this page.
  16. Its from the computer. You kinda get hobbies on the computer like drawing or coding or making games then all of a sudden you are doing 15 things at once non stop. Jumping from one thing to the next. I find myself listening to 3 YouTube videos at the same time. Someone is talking to me irl I have 2 other voices going off at the same time I'm trying to communicate with them.
  17. A thought cannot be unthought. “Cannot” is the block to understanding.
  18. All religions are bullshit, and so are spiritual groups. Grow up, humans. I said this a few years ago and you still don't get it.
  19. Nonviolence
  20. I've also faced this dilemma. I like to focus on things on chunks of a few months. I spent 10 months traveling and enjoying my ex GF. I still worked remotely but by no means work was my focus. Since May till August I spent 4 months fully working during winter after my break up. I still had sex once with a girl from Tinder(thank god). In the last month I've switched gears to pickup again. I still work a lot and make money but I'm deliberately rejecting all new work projects that will take more energy so I can focus on dating. Over time I end up making progress in both areas. maybe it's slower but also feels more stable. I can't go for +6 months without sex. my mind starts tearing apart, if making serious money would take me 5 years I know I won't make it without dating girls, I'd brake down before You need to know yourself and the cycles of your personal life.

  21. There and here

    Tea is important
  22. By direct consciousness you might imply that it transcends limitation, which contrasts to our current consciousness which is aware of limitation Effortlessness kinda implies an ease, so yea suffering feels more like a struggle so it can’t really be effortless by definition. I agree we deeply engage our mind. We engage in suffering, some feel suffering is necessary too, like being stressed feels it can help you have things under control. The human happiness id say is known in the same way the human suffering is known. But a transcendent happiness is unknown for most It can help to recognize when something is a concept, so if it weighs us down (like a negative belief) we have possibility of letting it go , instead of confusing it with rest of reality

  23. Do most of us have mild TDAH/Dysthymic disorder.

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Schizophonia's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Hmm, I don't think I fit this. Perhaps in the past? Not currently though. Maybe a poll would be good to gather data 😊 I begun using the forum more when general negative moods were gone. I think you speak the truth about other users though, I could just be an outlier
  24. Would love to hear real stories of which of you went through the entire pickup process with full intent for some time and found a great life partner thanks to it. One of my best friends found his GF while he was doing daygame every single day. I've personally have gotten laid w 8 girls from DG and 1 from Nightgame. but haven't found a GF yet. I want inspiration!
  25. All businesses have some degree of BS in order to survive. but my point is that the level of BS in sciences or engineering is way lower than in other industries like fashion, media, etc.
  27. I think engineering and computer science are very truthful. If I sell you a system with X metrics with deadline on Y date, there is no way I can bullshit. You can't bullshit Logic, Math and Algebra.
