  1. They can become a different person just because they are in a different mood. It's not even about you. Although if you put her in a bad mood, God help you.
  2. He's more of a Dogecoin president. Bitcoin has integrity.
  3. Israel has a huge propaganda budget. I bet they have bot farms to shape social media opinions.
  4. I spent something like 30 hours making the outline for the PM video, just to have the structure of the points in the right linear order. You would never be able to make a video like mine just off the top of your head. Your mind would skip too many points. If you don't take the time to organize your ideas they will come out in a jumbled hairy mess. If you have a solid outline, speaking is easy. Making the outline is the hardest part.
  5. The only way is to just be more conscious and more intelligent. And you have to own your own sovereignty of mind. If you can't stop doubting yourself then you will never reach God, because God is beyond self-doubt. You have to ultimately recongize doubt as itself a self-deception.
  6. I will post 2 tinnitus cures soon.
  7. Most people who are in relationships are dysfunctional, so obviously you don't need to be any which way to be in a relationship. You can be in a relationship as a serial killer. But if you want to maximzie the chance of your relationship going well, then you should work on yourself. Girls are not attracted to you for your self-improvement work. Don't make this naive mistake. They don't give a damn how developed you are or if you are a serial killer. All they care about is how you make her feel in the moment.
  8. It's hard to compare Russia and Israel without direct experience of their operations. Reading news reports is just too far removed, leaving lots of speculation. I imagine that things are much uglier than we know, see, or hear.
  9. Yeah, I was gonna post about this on my blog. It's so cringe. An atom bomb of cringe.
  10. Awesome!
  11. Intelligence. There is no way around this. It is circular. You need intelligence to see intelligence. The only one who can appreciate God's intelligence is God. A human cannot. So, when you become God, only then will you appreciate the infinite intelligence of your structure (the universe). But you could just walk outside, look at a humming bird and see the sheer intelligence in its design. This is one tiny step towards seeing God's intelligence.
  12. The reason is something like: the universe is how it is and not otherwise because it is the most intelligent way it could be. If it was otherwise it wouldn't be as intelligent. You would need to infinitely conscious and Omniscient to understand universe's structure in detail. But you can realize that it is maximally intelligent.
  13. There's no way that could work. Politics demands high social skills and social intelligence, which engineers are terrible at. Politicians need to be charismatic and likeable and people need to relate to them. No one is gonna relate to an engineer. And most importantly an engineer would not have the skill to handle all the behind-the-scenes socializing and deal-making that politicians must do to be effective. Politicians have to manage hundreds of elite social connections to be effective. Even Obama was not so good at that because he's more of a professor archetype than a typical politician. Engineers would be unhappy as politicians. Like fish out of water.
  14. I mean, Lex is playing the game of being the world's biggest interviewer, so this is right up his alley. But of course Trump is not worth interviewing because he's simply a bullshit artist. I don't even want to waste my time listening to it. There is no point giving someone such serious attention when they have such a long proven track record of lying. We all know exactly who Trump is at this point. Nothing he says can undo his own record of lies and crimes.
  15. Memes celebrating psychedelics. Post 'em if you got 'em.
  16. @Exystem Thanks. Glad you liked it.
  17. This is BS. Someone who shoots civilians and is Stage Red is not going to follow codes of conduct.
  18. Of course, but they could argue they are targetting enemy combatants. Look, I know they engage in devilry too.
  19. It's not the same. Israel does some war crimes and sloppy bombing, but that s not the same as terrorism, taking hostages, shooting indiscriminate rockets at cities, etc. It is not necessary to make this conflation for you to advocate for Palestinian rights. It doesn't help your cause to exaggerate.
  20. Textbook example of a strawman and poisoning the well. How many JP fans could articulate what PM is and what core philosophical insights it's based on? Or the limitations of modernism?
  21. "Legitimate" is relative and socially constructed I am not claiming that Hamas should not fight Israel. But Hamas does use terrorist tactics.
  22. You don't know what I know. I wasn't assuming. If you did any decent amount of research into how such groups operate you would know that everything I said is uncontroversial and obvious. Don't BS us. Hamas are terrorists and proudly so. Every terrorist group fancies itself as legit military resistance fighting for a noble cause and justice. Hamas are not unique in this. Ha. When I say they make millions that does not mean they do so for personal luxury per se (although of course they do), they do it first and foremsot because a terrorist organization requires tens of millions to sustain its members and activities. Terrorism/military is expensive. No war can be won without moucho $$$$$.
  23. You don't need to try to capture God. You are he. God has no difficulty speaking about himself by any number of linguistic schemes. Meow.
  24. It's just not a serious danger in a developed nation. The real serious danger is our epistemic ecosystem getting so flooded with shit that people think a perfecty legit election was stolen or that a serious pandemic is a government plot to control you. Half of Americans are drowning in so much toxic bullshit that they are eager to reelect a narccistic lecherous glutonus neo-fascist rapist criminal conartist traiter -- thinking this will magically improve our situation.
  25. It's very simple: create a career for yourself that earns you decent money and then let go of chasing after money beyond that. Make enough to live well and then focus on the truly meaningful things.
