No I would say most current social media platforms encourage passive consumption more than any type of self-improvement.

Talk about features you'd like instead of just a graphical update IMO. I personally like the idea of isolating different metrics in life and gamifying them to quantify progress. In terms of career/business the metrics are more obvious but even in terms of general well being it should be possible. Make it seamless with AI. What gets measured gets managed.

This is mainly the answer. Complaining about stupid people if you're intelligent you should see it as victimizing yourself. It just means that you lack communication skills, empathy or self-sufficiency. Worry about your own lack of competence instead of other people who you will rarely be able to change. Why do you need to have political debates? Gain power and change the world. Why do you need friction against rigid institutions? Create your own. If you study systems thinking you will realize that human systems are created to benefit mostly those who created them. Complaining about them not benefitting you enough is obviously peak stupidity. Integrate within them as much as you have to, reverse engineer them and make your own.

@Magnanimous I mean Leo himself started his content from his book list and regurgitating concepts from there then he found his own voice, style and teaching material. Everyone does this. Fun fact I didn’t invent English, I stole it from somebody else!

We are closer than we’ve ever been to nuclear fusion being commercially viable. The future of humanity will include basically infinite green energy

Hail Mary was sweet, Ryan Gosling did well here. I highly recommend the Dune movies, it’s kinda like Star Wars but more gritty. Just watched them a couple of months ago, can’t believe I waited this long. The 3rd one is coming this December. Good commentary on the idea of blind faith a well as the main character is basically a fake messiah.

Explain your position then, I'm curious

It's also the bastion of innovation. If you want to empower yourself and your community then american ideas and resources are still world class. Starting with entrepreneurship and AI. I see a lot of people on this forum complaining about the state of the world and it's trajectory and very little about what you're personally doing to improve it for yourself and others.

I 60% disagree with the spirit of this topic, especially because it's in the geopolitics section. Most human thoughts are not quality nor helpful. They are expressing feelings of usually confusion or sadness about topics. Which is understandable but let's not pretend it's gonna solve the very real problems that we are facing as a species. AI is gonna be much better suited for that purpose. There is of course a place for social media to be about emoting and conversing with humans but IMO separating that from actual problem solving is mandatory. AI can be used to identify the root causes to issues and track the progress towards fixing them. People can then utilize their time, energy and resources to fixing them. Random chit chat is separate from that.

If you're try to discredit my arguments then you'll have to explain. Otherwise we'll just assume that you didn't get my points. Do you not see how the different nodes of our species are moving closer and closer together? Our financial systems have been uniting and soon our language barriers will drop. World peace is a very simple concept really, it boils down to a global monopoly on violence that makes state warfare and even violent crime impossible.

They refuse to make a deal while Iran still pursues an uranium enrichment program. Seems half fair to me. We'll see how things progress.

Good transhumanism will radically improve our healthcare system. We need to get religious folks out of any health policy decisions. They unironically advocate for death as a more natural healthcare solution than actually curing diseases.

That's a good point generally guys that grew up with sisters tend to do better with women.

Can definitely learn it. Get fit and talk to lots of women and put ads up online. Lots of lonely women out there. I considered it myself for a bit but ultimately decided against it cuz I like more long term relationships with women don't really wanna see many of them casually. If you're bisexual you'll make bank, I had a roommate that was a male stripper. Easier if you take male clients too but you could do it purely heterosexually as well.

I mean just use condoms as much as you can and if you get HSV just gotta deal with it. I know multiple dudes with 100-500+ body counts and I'm not their doctor but they seem to be doing fine. I'm at like 50 body count myself and I got chlamydia + gonorrhea one time, told the FWB I had at the time, went to the clinic got a shot and it's gone afterwards not really a big deal.
