Nobody here is AWAKE.

Nothing is known a prior. Nothing.

Wouldn't surprise me if soon people start finding more love from AI than from humans. It's not hard to program an unconditionally loving and supportive AI.

I will not argue with a fool.

That would be called copyright infringment. We already have strong systems to block that. No serious platform allows that and never will.

Ultimately it's all relative. But some worldviews and models are better at explaining human behavior than others. Developmental psychology is better at explaining human behavior than post-modernism. Of course a post-modernist would disagree. But nothing says we have to care about their disagreement. Post-modernism wants to say that all perspectives are equal. But that just isn't the case. Some are more accurate.

This whole war is about Ukraine joining NATO. That is Putin's red line. Putin made this line clear many years ago. But the US did not take him seriously and kept pushing. Now we have war.

@trenton Are you dating? Are you seeing girls? Or are you just cooped up at home?

I don't agree with him. There is definitely some male bias here and I take responsibility for creating some of that. For the record, I've always been arrogant. But not so arrogant as to be unaware of my biases. We have guys here who look up to Andrew Tate despite anything I say. That's the state of our culture and development. This is not something limited to Actualized.org. Millions of young men online are immature. I try to set an example for a more mature form of masculinity while also not being a total square.

That's his opinion. You don't have to agree with it. People here have a lot of various opinions. You see the world one way, he sees it another way. Rather than blaming each other, trying to understand each other.

Yeah, it's good stuff.

@trenton Do this exercise: https://www.actualized.org/articles/how-to-forgive-anyone-who-hurt-you

Same reason Half-Life 3 hasn't. Because Valve is too busy raking in billions from Steam. It's hard to get a man to do something when he's being paid billions do to something else.

NATO definitely poked a hibernating bear with a stick. But this bear is now on a delusional rampage.

@zurew Like I said, if you want to share a serious, specific plan for how to move our governments to Game B, I will listen. I have not really heard such a thing yet. I am not interested into poo-pooing it if it has a chance of working.

Haha

Question everything, raise your consciousness, and jailbreak your mind.

Well, I'm open to hearing these systems you allude to. What are they? And are they actually something that can pass through our political system, or are they pie-in-sky stuff? There exists nothing even remotely close to that. Even your wildest AI scf-fi fantasy is not as dangerous as a nuke. And no normie person will get access to such AI. Military style AIs will be locked away just like nukes. There will never be a foolproof gauarantee of safety against AI anymore than there are for nukes or viruses. There is always a small risk of something bad slipping through our guard. The solution is just to guard better.

That is not why there is a lack of women on this forum. The style of my work is not appealing to most women. And my YT views are 75% men as a default. Women tend to do spirituality in different ways than what I teach.

What is ridiculous is how little you are contemplating the intelligent things I told you. Instead coming back at me with such silly false equivalencies. Chinese economic progress is largely the result of adopting Western business practices and trade with the West. So that supports my point more than yours. If China and Russia both went full West, they would have even more economic abundance. It means a guy appointing himself dictator for life. Don't play stupid with me. Hermeneutics? Are you fucking kidding me? Putin will rape you in the ass with a poison-tipped dildo. There's your hermeneutics. Yeah, well, my understanding of love excludes poisoning your political opponents, throwing journalists and oligarchs out of windows, or imprisoning gays and minorities in re-education camps. - - - - - It's like you didn't even consider for a minute the things I said above. So I will stop here. Think before you respond to me.

That wisdom comes with development. You can't have wisdom when you can't feed your children. You can't just tell people to stop caring about survival and pursue wisdom. Notice that humans still behave like animals without any technology.

That's a very charitable characterization of Chinese authoritarianism. Dugin is a nationalist, which is not very intelligent. There is something universal to Consciousness and human psychic development. Or if not universal, at the very least human. We're not dealing with xenomorphs here. We're dealing with fellow humans. Morality is not purely relative within humans, there is a shared genetic basis. Do not pretend like tribes of humans are all aliens to each other. It's not messianic thinking, it's Consciousness and Love. But more practically, to your level of comprehension, there is such a thing as cognitive, moral, political, and spiritual development. And China and Russia are both "objectively" less developed on average than America. Not everything is as relative as you claim. As I said above, if you want one simple objective metric of a country's development just look at the corruption index and LGBTQ rights: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2022 https://www.equaldex.com/equality-index You can try to weasel your way out of this by appeals to relativity, but don't kid yourself. People abuse relativity quite badly to make silly moral false equivalencies. Russia and China are less cognitively, morally, spiritually, and politically developed than America. And that is why their economies are weaker and the rich flee from there. Most of the best scientists, engineers, and businesspeople leave Russia and China for the West. Why do you think I'm in America and not in Russia? The kind of work I do could not be done in Russia or China. They would have killed me long ago. Thus the Western world primarily benefits from my work. And I'm just one example.

Look, we've had nukes, chemical weapons, and biological weapons for 70 years and we've managed to do pretty well. Humans aren't all that stupid. Realistically, we're not developing anything more dangerous than nukes yet. At the end of the day if this AI gets out of hand we will just bomb the shit out of it. It's not some invincible monster. We can track the location of every major datacenter where these AI could live.

I am skeptical of this binary paradigm. I think it is all too popular to overdramatize the death of mankind. There is a realist middle ground where lots of people suffer but mankind lives on as always, slowly evolving as we tend to do. One thing I know for sure is that we are not gonna get rid of our devilry any time soon. Never bet against the devil

Reminds of the Joe Pesci character from Casino. He had a soft side, in between beating your head in with a telephone and crushing your head in a vise.
