I'm not even sure. I don't know enough about the business culture of Scandinavia.

You can't know everything you are capable of creating. But you can mostly distinguish between things which are within your control and which are not. Creating money is within your control. Contacting aliens is mostly not. Of course there's a lot of things you don't know and won't ever know about reality and even yourself. What you know is a tiny fraction of what could be known.

1) Scandinavia is not socialist. It is capitalist. 2) Well-regulated capitalism seems to be the best system at this time. 3) I don't see trust of government as a big issue. If we invest resources into making government function well then it will be trusted. Clearly creating a well-functioning government is possible. It just requires eliminating corruption and hiring/electing high quality people with integrity and good character. This can be done in America and Europe. It's just that people aren't serious about doing it.

You can't know that without trial and error. It's like asking, How do you know how far you can run? You try running and see how far you get. Your ability to run is within the ego's control but at some point that will break down and your body will just fail and you can run no more. But it's obvious that it is not within the ego's ability to turn into a pig. That's why we call that "genetics". Genetics is the stuff about your dream that your ego cannot change.

The real limit is not the brain but the dream that is your entire life. The brain is just an aspect of that dream. You are limited because you are committed to dreaming a particular dream. If that commitment was broken then you would either die or go insane. And you are not in control of this dream. You are dreaming that you are a human and not a pig. And so it is. If you could dream that you are a pig, you would be a pig. But you don't know how to do that because it is beyond the ego's power. You as ego didn't choose. You are just a puppet of reality.

No.

Nothing like this was said. This is your own construction.

She literally said so in her manifesto. Maybe if you take her complaints seriously there will be less shootings. If you're gonna bully people with "locker room" insults, don't be surprised when they go on a shooting spree. The one thing all these school shooters have in common is that they were bullied and insulted.

It's hard to imagine a political party more insane, cancerous, and embarassing than today's conservatives.

The difference is that your nose will not be happy.

Landing doesn't even apply here. It's just your twisted view of women. Hearing guys like you is probably why she shot up that school.

Dude, reflect on the cringe you say.

It's almost like physical appearance has nothing to do with happiness.

Why else would anyone wear a Rolex? Think about it. The only reason to wear a Rolex is to show off. There is literally no other purpose to it. If I wore a Rolex in my videos I would hope you guys would die from laughing at the cringe.

That would require a whole book to explain.

Fantasies. The wealth from AI will be hoarded by a handful of elites while the majority remain wage slaves serving the AI overlords.

How flippant. Understanding how a woman's survival functions shape her behavior and psychology is a very non-trivial matter.

Sure. Dangerous, no.

I am not telling women to have kids. Do whatever you want. But to understand what women are requires understanding their survival function. My role here is not to tell women what to do but to help make sense of them. If you want to understand a creature you better take its survival functions seriously.

They are getting way under that.

A much bigger problem will be under-population. There will be bad economic collapse if developed nations don't breed more. The entire global economy assumes constant growth. All that will come crashing down without more babies. More babies means more technological innovation to fix the climate problems. Climate will not be fixed by cutting back but by better tech. Without babies, who is gonna mine the cobalt for your phone battery?

By realizing that if you don't stay sharp you will join those suffering. If you screw around in life you will soon enter a world of pain.

TIK has said that corporate monopoly is socialism. The guy does not understand basic economics, that's how much libertarianism has rotteded his mind. Anything bad he just calls socialism, and anything good capitalism, thus reinforcing all his biases. By his logic capitalism cannot do bad because if it's bad it can't be capitalism, it must really be socialism.

It's just a game. The biggest mistake it taking skill in chess as proof of anything serious. Play it if you enjoy it, otherwise do something else that you enjoy more. Don't do things just because others are doing it. Don't do things because you think it will make you look smart or good. Do what you genuinely value and enjoy.

Remember that you can always find isolated pockets of higher development almost anywhere. The real issue is the level of development of the average person and the institutions, not an isolated pocket of wealth and luxury. Yes, there are luxury resorts for Westerners even in Africa or Afghanistan. A millionaire in Africa or India can live pretty well in a private gated community.
