Thanks for the share. Interesting frame to look at these subjects from. Do you think AI will have an effect on religiosity in our culture? -

There's probably a realistic middle. Little bit of fuckboy isn't bad. Especially in the beginning. Mom game

@Yimpa I saw it flash on the screen at the end of the episode - What is paradox ? Leo to told in that episode to contemplate it.

How'd he figure it out, with no religion? You said he you can't explore 'different' without religion, he did, the guy you're talking about conceptually did it without a religion. You're using circular reasoning, you're just saying something is true and your proof is just saying that it's true. -
The supplements I take - based on blood tests for deficiency (the best supplement is the one you need to address a deficiency): - Vit D, Magnesium, K2 My own choice, because I feel a direct effect in joint health, performance and cognitive benefit: - Cod liver oil (not capsules, tastes like arse but you can tell when it is rancid) + 5g Creatine I don't trust greens powders, multivitamins and most supplements. They aren't regulated. I hear supplements being pushed in any sort of media and I relegate it to 'grift'.

The more I mature the more I agree with this. The problem with most girls is that it’s better to go the fuckboy route with them first until sex, then bring up relatioship qualities in you. But the truth is, you probably don’t want a relationship with these girls who needs fuckboy route first, anyways. They are probably more unstable and immature, in general. ——— I wanted to share this new insight I got lately somewhere but I didn’t have a place for it. But this is a good one. So lately, my new favourite ”targets” are girls who are with their moms. Man, if a girl has a good relationship with her mother, and the mother likes me (the easy part), these are two extremely good signs of it going somewhere really good with the girl.

Nobody Cares about truth. Everyone only cares about survival. Nobody cares about proper sensemaking. I was contemplating earlier, we really only default to the sensemaking systems that were beaten into us. The mind will do sensemaking regardless, and we will naturally just absorb all the examples of sensemaking that we have in our environment out of sheer conformity. But it is not natural at all to upgrade the quality of your sensemaking. You will naturally become more creative than everybody else around you because everybody else around you is thinking in the boxes of the sense making systems that they were taught.

This probably came across as aggressive.

Is this an AI song? Really good and couldn’t even tell it was AI at first if it is.

I created the need, and it fostered a good discussion. They were the same thing; now they are two concepts - already differentiated. We're sharpening our skills here.

Annoying People in the Travel Niche (POST UNDER PROGRESS) I have been doing some research for some upcoming trips I want to do and as a result, I'm interacting with a lot of travel related content. I feel like under the travel umbrella, there are a number of different niches and communities that are all very different from each other. And I think it boils down to people having different travel styles, different reasons as to why they travel, and different logistics around travelling as well. Some of these circles are hella annoying lol and I want to write about that. 1. The Luxury Traveler: I would characterize this as the group of people who spend a lot of money on hotels, often emphasize resorts, who spend a lot of money before the trip even begins, and spends a shit ton of money on tours. I wrote about this niche more in a previous post: These people usually focus their content on Europe, Asia, and the Carribbean. Their content isn't always exhorbitantly expensive, sometimes it's cheap. But it's in a developing country where the USD and Euro go much further (think of the influencers that go to Bali and talk about 5 star hotels only being $80 a night). My issue with experiences like this is the implications around how the locals are being affected and how this exasserbates issues in the global south. In my opinion, it's fucked up to be enjoying a 5 star hotel experience when the workers probably aren't earning a living wage and the locals are struggling to get by because the tourism industry gobbled all the other industries up to where now, the place is a shell of what it used to be and is catered around people with money. I wrote about the colonial implications in the post above as well as how for some people, travel is just an extention of their overconsumption. I'm not opposed to spending money and splurging here and there so long as it makes sense for my budget and I feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of it (like I'm not going to spend $500 on a hotel knowing I'm just going to sleep in there and be outside like 90% of my waking time there). I just want to make sure that I'm approaching travel in a responsible and ethical matter that allows me to enjoy myself but not at the expense of others as much as I can help it. 2. The Enlightened Traveler: This is the group of people who believe that travel gave them a new perspective on life and now they're making their whole personality the trip that they took. I think there is a more and a less annoying version of this. The less annoying version of this is people who genuinely travel to learn and expand their perspectives and they got something out of it. The more annoying version of this is the person who either has a giant ego about the places they have been to and as a result, they think they are better than the people who didn't travel as much, OR the person who thinks they are this enlightened, cultured person for going to so many places when really, they didn't challenge themselves one bit. Like no Jason, you're not cultured, you're just an alcoholic who went on a 1 month bender where you went clubbing in 20 different European countries. I wrote about this in the post linked above but I think it can exist in a less extreme version where you just exist in the ecosystem of tourists. I saw this comment under a Youtube video a while back. I referenced this in the linked post but I'm including it here because it's relevant: I would also say that a lot of country counters fall under this umbrella as well. Country counters are basically people who try to visit as many new countries as possible. Often times, these people have a quantity over quality mindset where they don't ever want to delve into a country, revist a country, or they say they've been to a country when really they just had a 3 hour lay over. Most of the country counters I encounter in this niche are usually people who backpacked around Europe since it's easier to skadaddle around different countries in a short period of time there. I find it annoying when someone is like *oh I'm super well travelled, I've been to 10 countries* and all of those countries are in Europe. Let's say you have two people who have gone to 5 countries each. Person A went to the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Luxemburg. Person B went to Spain, Brazil, Kenya, Japan, and Iran. I would consider Person B to be more well travelled overall more so than Person A even though they went to the same number of countries. I would still give credit to Person A to being more well travelled in Europe specifically but I think that Person B has more of a diversity of experiences and is more well rounded in terms of different places they have been to. I'm not trying to downplay the list of countries Person A went to but there isn't as much of a difference between Netherlands and Belgium as there is between Brazil and Kenya. Also, on a similar note, if you're from a large, diverse country like the U.S., India, Brazil, or China, I would argue that you can be well travelled without leaving your home country. You can have a wealth of experiences by interacting with the variety of people in these countries or by travelling to the myraid of landscapes and biomes your country has. Someone from the UK would have to go to Morocco to experience a dessert for the first time near them. My ass can drive to Arizona and get a similar vibe in terms of climate and landscape. In most major U.S. cities, you can get food from different countries and have it taste good and legit. By living in Dallas, I can get good Mexican food, good Indian food, and good Italian food in the same day without hassel. That's not something you can say about most places in the world. In India, you have so many different cultures, customs, religions, and people from a variety of walks of life from living in big cities, to living in more isolated tribes. As far as Spiral Dynamics goes, I think India, while mostly Blue/ Orange, has large elements of the whole spiral there. I have people in my life that either never left the U.S. or India or if they did, they just went to 2-3 countries, and some of those people are more well educated and more cultured than a lot of people under this enlightened traveller umbrella. 3. The "Live Like a Local" Traveller: These are the people who get all pretentious about what you chose to do in your trip. Usually, they have the hipster attitude about not wanting to do certain things because they're too mainstream and touristy. Sometimes, they're like the opposite of the country counter where they don't think you can get a good experience of a country without spending 3 or more weeks there. I touched on this in the linked post:

Splitting hairs over wrong/self-deception is silly. Can you distinguish them? Of course. But there is no need to do so in this discussion. You really think I don't know the difference between these two concepts?
