He is doing it within an Orange framework, not a Yellow one. Musk is after personal power. He has an authortarian leadership style which is not aligned with Yellow systemic thinking. You guys keep confusing exploitation of systems with systems thinking. These are not at all the same thing. Until Musk gives up his authoritarian leadership style I will not consider him Yellow. And he will never give it up.

No, you will burn out. Stop trying to get things done faster, rather enjoy the process and do it slow but more consistently and at higher quality. Stop rushing. Your attitude is too mechanical and will produce worse results.

He is a deep and visionary thinker within tech and business.

No

I don't say he hasn't. It's a question of degree and kind.

When Ralston says "self" he means lower-case self, not uppercase Self.

Your #1 priority should be how to make IP that people love. That's not about your technical software skills nor drawing skills. Direction, style, characters, story, emotions, psychology, vision, imagination, branding, marketing, business, communication, teamwork -- those are your real skills. Not software!

You should not worry about AI companies stealing your finished movie. That won't be an issue because copyright law is strong for stuff like that and your movie will still make gopd enough money. But you should transition to using AI tools to reduce manual labor of drawing. The days of manually drawing animation frame by frame will die off, because it's just too painful and too costly. Invest your energy in training higher level skills like directing, art direction, storytelling, etc. Manual technical drawing is not where you should be investing your resources. I can imagine an AI that draws interpolated frames between keyframes you give it. So you only need to draw the keyframes, making your process 10x more effecient.

Is H2O related to ocean?

@PurpleTree Americans do everything bigger than the piddly Europeans. Our cars are bigger, our bombs are bigger, our tits are bigger, our heroin is bigger. #MAHA Make American Heroin Again

What does that even mean??

Tier 2 for sure

Changing the world is not what defines Tier 2. Tier 1 changes the world plenty. Tier 1 has way more power to change the world. Musk will change much more of the world than me. But I am more cognitively developed than him.

@Jehovah increases Then how do you explain that Oregon is so screwed up?

@aurum Those All-In Podcast people are the biggest scumbags. Makes me want a Marxist revolution just to see them pitchforked, even though I'm not a Marxist. They are so cartoonishly corrupt that they don't even try to hide because they don't even realize it's corruption. Bank robbery in broad daylight. What's amazing is how selective their intelligence is. They are very intelligent in all areas except when it comes to recognizing their own corruption they suddenly have an IQ of 70. The self-deception is stunning.

You are only allowed to dance from 9:05pm to 9:15pm every Tuesday and Thursday.

@OBEler Tell them the truth: you'd rather listen to an Actualized.org lecture

Wear earbuds and tell them you're just going to listen to music.

The devil's dilemma.

You need to start with smaller problems/questions before you try to grasp the ultimate nature of reality. Start with smaller, more grounded questions which you can experience immediate success with by having genuine insights. Over years the small insights will accumulate and open doors to deeper insights. Make sure you keep your philosophy grounded to direct experience. Investigate and make observations about the workings of your own mind. Here's an assingment to get you started on the right track: Observe and categorize every function of your own mind. What are all the things your mind does or can do? Don't speculate. Observe it and write them down. Make philosophy more like science you do on yourself. Ultimate reality is so radical that it cannot be understood from your normal state of consciousness. A change in state is required. Smaller questions don't require a change in state.

No, that line of questioning is misguided. Stop trying to reduce it. It's like I'm trying to get you to recognize the ocean and you're saying, "Oh, H2O, yeah, I know that." No! H2O is not what I mean when I say ocean. If you equate ocean with H2O then you missed the ocean. God is the ocean, not H2O.

That's not what I'm pointing to when I say God. Again, of course you can reduce everything down to emptiness, but that's not the same as consciousness of God. A reductionist mistake is being made. If you are equating God with emptiness you're got grasping the significance of God. You're just conscious of emptiness and calling it God. Which is not what I'm talking about.

No, the ground for me is the same as for the Buddhist. Consciousness/Mind is emptiness when reduced down. But realizing God is not about realizing emptiness.

I think that would vary a lot from person to person. You need to find what makes you feel most creative. For me, about 5 days of nonstop meditation makes me very creative. So I'd start with that. Just force yourself to sit and do nothing all day long. Eventually your mind will start to fill the void with creative thoughts.
