Why would Mark Twain not have been duped along with everyone else? How could Mark Twain know? He didn't have all the facts. He wanted the legend to be true as much as everyone else. The issue isn't plagiarism. The issue is that her caretakers were doing all the physical writing for her and injecting their own heavy interpretations and polish on everything she said. This was not a single incident, this was her entire lifestyle, origin story, and legend. Imagine if I had all my work edited by a secret nameless worldclass author and then presented it as my own. That would be fraud. But it was never at the same level of quality/depth. And who was her replacement?

My process for these clips is quite efficient. I am satisfied with it. I can generate 500 clips per month. Not that I intend to keep that up. So it is at least 100x more efficient than YouTube. Start a new thread please.

Ultimately there is no reason to do anything. However, unlike a dog, a scientist can realize that science is a human construction, a scientist can open his mind to things I say, and eventually I will get some scientist to realize he is God. And that will be the point. The point is, at least a few people will realize God from the things I teach. It won't be thousands or millions, but dozens. And that's good enough for me. All of my work is done for a small number of very serious people who will eventually realize God. But larger numbers of more casual folk will also benefit along the way without going all the way to God. It is good for scientists and academics to understand epistemology and the limits of their fields. This will help their fields advance. I don't just criticize them for entertainment or clicks, I explain how to think deeper and better.

This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.

Unfortunately that's just not feasible. Every clip requires at least a bit of editing work, titling work, rendering work, copy & pasting work, uploading work, etc. Posting raw videos looks too unprofessional. The overhead on rendering and uploading a video takes more time than recording it. But it's not too bad. I have a few ways of managing it.

It's a mix. There is re-treading of insights from my long YT videos, but also entirely original insights and ideas, or framing them in new ways. If you go into it expecting 100% new ideas, then you will be disappointed. The Vault is not essential, it is a bonus feature for fans who want more. Like a backstage pass to a concert. You don't need it, but if you love the band then you will enjoy it. The Vault is not intended for lukewarm people but those passionate about the work. Yes, this is precisely the case. The Vault allows me to release more content than I can on YouTube because the prep work for long YT videos is very grueling and unsustainable after a decade of doing it. The Vault solves the sustainability problem for me. Yes, I am open to any topic ideas. I can easily cover topics in The Vault, unlike on YouTube because they are much faster to create and I need thousands of topic ideas. Taking requests for YouTube videos doesn't work well, but for clips works much better.

It really depends on you. It's not a function of time as it is a function of your effort. If your effort is too low, then you will never get good. But if your effort is very high you can get good in a year or two. Effort matters most of all. To advance quickly you have to get very serious about it. It has to consume your life for a few years. If you are just dabbling in game, even 5 years won't get you far. You have to be a beast about it.

I fixed this. #112 works now.

Hmmm... must be a typo in the link. I'll fix that. Thanks for reporting it.

I will be posting longer content in the Vault as well. Videos that are too long for Instagram and TikTok. I just recorded a 20-minute long clip which will be posted in the Vault soon. So the Vault will consist of shorts but also dozens of original longer videos which won't ever be shared on social media. I am often way too limited by Instagram's 3-minute long format. So I plan on making many 5-15 minute long clips in the future to add more value to the Vault.

That is beyond my coding ability. That requires managing a database. You can bookmark links using your browser by right-clicking on links. Perhaps in the future if many people use the Vault then I could hire a programmer to add that.

@LordFall Okay. I understand. I will make courses too.

Steven Hassan is not teaching epistemology. He is teaching about cults. And his teachings are spot-on. If you want to actually understand what a cult is, read his book.

@Carl-Richard I will throw every human under the bus on epistemology. If you don't like it, tough. I am the standard of what counts as proper epistemology.

Just because you encounter ideas that you disagree with does not make a thing a cult. That is peak stupidity.

No. That is the proper definition created by cult researcher and cult deprogramming expert Steven Hassan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Hassan You speak of things you don't even understand.

Yes he did. Her caretakers were obviously writing for her.

@Carl-Richard That is not what defines a cult. A cult is a fringe group that uses deliberate mind control techniques to extract money, sex, and power from its user base. A cult is about abusing and exploiting its members in a pyramid like structure. Fringe ideas does not a cult make. Actualized is not a religion. If you don't understand that. then what do you understand? It is shameful that I even need to explain this to anyone here. The epistemic standards of Actualized.org are higher than anything found in science or academia or anything any YouTuber comprehends. The YouTubers who criticize me are epistemic morons and this should be obvious to anyone who studies my work. No one on Earth will teach you epistemology deeper than I will. That is, if you are willing to learn and aren't too cool for school.

This is false. Watch the video. The evidence of fraud is every blatant. Not from her, but from her caretakers. People with her condition do not grow up to be great authors because it is virtually impossible. She did not have the physical ability to write the things she is credited for. She was the original example of using AI to write your books for you and then claiming you wrote it.

A thousand years from now they will think I'm an angel sent down from the heavens

China does some things rights. However, I am not envious of the Chinese system. I would rather live in America, even if I wasn't already successful. Authoritarian crackdown on billionaires is not exactly a good thing. It might feel good to you, but it isn't a healthy or fair system. It's a corrupt system. These billionaires are shaken down and bullied by the communist regime. America would be a better system if we just outlawed any corporate money in politics. It is not so complicated to create a few laws that eliminate billionaire influence of elections. I like this solution better than switching to Marxism, which is very impractical.

They would have had better results with plain old capitalism. All of Marxism was a distraction. Capitalism worked in America and it would have worked in China, Korea, Russia, Cuba, etc. South Korea vs North Korea proves that. As Marx himself said, you can't reach socialism without first going through capitalism. Marxists don't listen to Marx.

Yeah, but it was tried and it didn't work. If you try it again it will fail again and the rich will continue existing.

Of course we know that. But Marxism doesn't solve that problem. Overthrowing the rich does not work. The way to get power is through business and creative labor, not through protesting and overthrowing people. If you are sick of being powerless, build your own business and create useful work. Marxism is not going to make you wealthy.
