Develop discipline Become more functional Master basics of life Develop body and mind Be more mindful of when I should drink water Be more mindful of when to stop working and take a rest and call it a day. etc, etc, ... I want to become more functional and more effective than 99% of the population so that I can excel in whatever I do.

My previous reply answers your question. I don't understand why you are inquisitive about my goals. It feels like nitpicking.

You are asking questions I'm not prepared for. That doesn't compute for me. As a member of a field, taking highest levels of responsibility doesn't make sense. As a human being, it does make sense. Any expertise can be used for various purposes. The choice of a profession is not nearly as important as personal development. You can use your martial arts skills to make or break humans. You can use your computer hacking skills to make or break humans. The same applies to many other fields. You can command your army to save or murder populations. Right now, I want to master my field beyond all limitations and also become a better human being. In my case, the right fight is to master a field I'm interested in and become a better human being such that I use my skills to help others.

The researcher did what it could. Does a computer scientist regret his work just because employers use softwares to put workers under tigher surveillance? The computer scientist can try to take responsibility and create softwares to counteract surveillance softwares. It seems you are saying that a finite being shall see infinite moves ahead and see infinite consequences. However, it's usually a bad idea for a finite being to try to see infinite moves ahead. I can't do that. I can counteract whatever undesirable side effects come up.

I decided that the fight I have been fighting is right for me. But, I cannot answer whether my fight is the right for you. I'm not trying to do it to appease others. I do it in service of myself and others. Heroes serve humanity in their own ways.

Your examples are bad because the vast majority of people work in fields that don't involve murder. I want to make a name for myself as a creator and inspire others to do the same. That's not going to change the human species, but I want to do it. Not every fight has to affect human species in any major way.

I know my fight. My fight is to become a very good master in my field of work. Is becoming a master blacksmith the right fight? That's difficult to answer. I just want to become a master of my field.

One that helps me and others instead of killing them. In my case, the definition of the right fight is not obvious because my line of work doesn't involve murders. Once I become a master, I will ask that question again. What is the right fight? What is worth fighting for?

He chose a wrong fight. He could have fought the right things.

I want to exceed all known limitations in my field of work. Excellence will do it. I want to be satisfied for my work.

No. I was not precise in my words. I want to become an absolute legend.

I'm more interested in becoming a better human being that can tackle more difficult challenges and learn faster and become a legend. I want to become an absolute legend.

@Leo Gura Ask Leo Gura.

I've done the search for you. It starts at 1:39:33.

The one I have is too long. But, he simply describes Coral as the stage where you realize you have responsibility for everything as God. He said he was responsibility.

@Joseph Maynor TJ Reeves defines Coral as the stage of responsibility. Do you resonate with his definition?

If Leo Gura states that he's not enlightened after years of pursuing enlightenment, I cannot rely on enlightenment for years, either. Personal development cannot depend on such an unreliable concept. But, the definition of enlightenment is not clear. A man on this forum claims to have attained enlightenment after one year of hardcore self inquiry. Is the man enlightened by Leo Gura's standards? I don't know.

Are humans the only devils?

I like it, too!!

Let me remind you that a Green college is still an expensive college.

Right now, the status of your personal development is a swiss cheese with holes from Beige to Green. You want to plug holes in tier 1 until you don't complain about mundane things. By the way, you might want to reconsider going to college. Depending on your life purpose, college could be a waste of time.

I just read about the sibyl system. I could read devilry from the brains in the system. Personally, I wouldn't want the sibyl system to be managing my life. It controls what kinds of jobs I can or can't have. It blocks immigration and emigration in japan. It basically turned a country into a large prison. It runs the country like a giant prison camp. It is the warden. It treats people as potential criminals. Its thinking is one dimensional in that it only judges whether or not someone is a criminal. It has no problem with being cruel to potential criminals. By blocking immigration and emigration, it crippled japan's economy, too. To me, it looks like a tyrant or a totalitarian warden. Some forum members dream of turning a country into a prison camp, too. The problem of management is that as you optimize your job as a manager, workers become less and less productive. As management becomes more optimized, productivity becomes less optimal. It is an optimization problem. For example, a manager wants to maximize one's effects on productivity of workers. The manager may actually increase one's effects on workers' productivity. But, the productivity of the whole company plummets as the manager meddles more with workers. Think of managing programmers as if they were factory workers. A manager may manage when a programmer can or cannot go to toilet or when a programmer is allowed to take a rest. Managing bodily work like that may work, but managing a knowledge worker like a factory worker is going to backfire. One of the major reasons that the sibyl system blocked immigration and emigration is that it doesn't have enough computation power to manage movements out of and into japan. It crippled the computation power of the entire japanese population. By allowing people to have more freedom, you allow them to utilize their computation power and contribute to the economy. Strict management kills computation power of workers.

You might know a bunch of concepts. But, you may embody 0.1% of it. You might even have wasted time on a bunch of unrelated concepts that are irrelevant to self actualization and confuse them with actual self-actualizing. I see some people do that. One can waste 10 years on irrelevant stuff and think one is now developed. If you overestimate the level of your self-actualization, trying to raise others' consciousness can easily backfire or can prove futile. Even nazis were thinking that they were raising their consciousness by learning nazism and killing people. Focus on improving yourself first before thinking about helping others in any profound way. Until you become developed, you help yourself. Self-help.

Any big transition is always potentially life-threatening. But, at the end of a transition waits a better world where people are not forced to work for living. The end of wage slavery. The end of aging process. The end of poverty. In the long run, short-term losses can be amortized. AIs can use biotechnology to make or break humans. So, I'm not totally sure. Will evolved AIs preach love or hatred? Would their love be the kind of touch love that gets many people killed during a transition period?

The transition can still entail the death of a billion or another world war. Even if Ais try to keep humans alive, the big transitions endanger human species. However, in the long run, short-term losses can be amortized. God works in mysterious ways.
