Of course it makes a massive difference if it can be interchangeable within different games. A dollar is useful because it's a universal means of exchange. If your money was monopoly money stuck within one country it would be pretty worthless. There are many ways to make assets from one digital ecosystem be usable in another. The currencies like the USD that keep their value across conversions are the strongest. Some currencies are so weak that if you make a wage in that currency you can't even travel because the exchange rate is so high. Current game items and skins have a 0 exchange rate, that's worthless in terms of long-term value. Immutable X is the biggest project linking many different games together on its layer 2 blockchain which is built on top of Ethereum. If you wanna look at it in terms of each big studio building their own blockchain then that's called blockchain interoperability. Eventually, I think game studios that don't support this feature will be considered obsolete. Just like an online e-commerce platform that doesn't accept credit cards and only mail-in cheques. Not sure how exactly it's gonna go down but perhaps major developers are gonna make items backwards compatible for the other multiplayer games in their ecosystems. The core idea is to make the value liquid.

Personally, I look at it more like conquering society itself. I don't see women as objects of conquest, more as cool adventure partners that want to join your journey en masse once you start offering more value and being able to solve the problems that weigh down the average man. The more abundance and value you generate in your life the more people want to be a part of it. Be it guys below your level that want to become your clients, and cool guys on top of their shit that become peers. Attractive cool women are a part of that as well. Politics is a good parallel to this point: the average person complains about politicians being corrupt yet never gets engaged in their local political system nor makes the effort to network with politicians to actually start to be able to influence the system instead of being a passive victim inside of it. I think you can use the sting of rejection in a dating context to initially fuel a self-improvement journey and then substitute it with a more holistic source of motivation down the line. I think the average guy doesn't even give himself the permission to desire hot women so even if it doesn't manifest as overt sour grapes, there is still a sort of cynicism or bitterness that oozes out of them I find.

I'm not Jesus Christ. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. If the user is satisfied with their relationship to the internet I cannot say more power to them which is usually the goal. They'll end up with less power and agency actually but to each their own life. That's the beauty of existence.

Holy shit We are actually here! It could be possible for me to skip the 2D version of the game and go straight to 3D with the current advances in AI game design shown with GPT 6 Astra What a beautiful time to be alive

Honestly I mostly talk about it with Gemini and write huge paragraphs to it about my life and the parts of myself that still confuse me and ask it to find explanations for it. I basically told it that I'm into spirituality and it's helped me become quite wise but I also have some blindspots that confuse me that I want to dig deeper into and we had an hour long conversation on it. It led me to researching more about the Bhagavad Gita which I had heard about but knew 0 about and I was surprised to learn that instead of being a tale of a nice harmless dude trying to help mankind like the Bible, it's about a massive war of succession that is inspired by an Indian kingdom that predates Jesus by 1000 years. This is a good video to summarize the basics of it. It's very non-dual and talks life being a non-dual battleground of evolution. I'm surprised Leo hasn't touched on Hinduism in his videos, the parallels are quite strong. I listened to the 3 hour Lex Fridman podcast with Modi and I found that guy to be very wise in what he was saying. There is clearly a lot of deep wisdom and truth that comes out of India, I look forward to exploring it more over the years. I'll check out videos of Immortals Fenyx Rising, hadn't heard of it before but that type of mythology based game is very interesting to me!

How do you recommend starting to dip your toes into mastering the new models? I do find it overwhelming to keep up with all the new features that are coming out and mainly just use it for basic conversations, introspection and image generation.

What type of man do you like then? If you had to name 2 celebrities or influencers that appeal to you; who would they be?

I don't look at it like conquest, maybe a little bit in terms of a fun playful idea but more so just being able to get what I desire. If you are arguing that you YOURSELF don't experience sour grapes then totally fair; I don't know you personally. I think if we are being honest it would be an accurate general statement that most men experience sour grapes in terms of the women who do not want to date them, and oftentimes MASSIVE sour grapes that turn into resentment or overt misogyny. A recent post was shared on this forum in the dating section along these lines. Being able to sleep with women easily makes you appreciate them a lot more and when you start to learn mechanisms of leverage like building your own social circle and social media brand then levelling up your sex appeal as a man becomes a very fun and energizing process as opposed to a tedious grind. Having options makes it much easier to find a quality long term partner and also sleeping with cool hot women is fun.

Is this a feeling that you have or have you studied the effects that capital punishment has on society? I'm mainly worried about societal progress, I empathize with the victim more than the murderer but I don't believe in blind punishment. Also I've had a pretty traumatic psychotic episode myself so I know the bad effects that this can have on someone.

Which games are your favourite around it? I studied some Christianity and a lot of the principles made sense. Buddhism has a concept called the middle path which made SO much sense to me because I'm driven to a more hedonistic lifestyle and I find wisdom in the asceticism philosophy but both ends seem to have flaws. The fact that he figured this out in the 5th century BC and today we're STILL having debates where people praise both sides of the extreme without showing people the middle path is mind boggling to me. I was quizzing Gemini on my spiritual beliefs since I don't fit into any spiritual system that I had researched previously and it taught me about the 4 varnas which made a lot of sense to me. I guess someone like Leo and others on this forum that are more philosophy minded fit more into the Brahman path but I related more deeply to the Kshatriya path. I'm a very aggressive person and I'm driven for conquest but not for the sake of it. More like for both the advancement of mankind but also to fulfill my selfish desires; so once again we're back to the middle path. I feel like society has failed me in terms of spiritual education but then again that lead to me adopting a very stage orange view of the world for a while through my involvement in pickup and entrepreneurship and finding Actualized.org lead me to a more holistic view of the world. If I didn't go through my stage orange foundational phase I think I would be much less effective and interesting as an individual. My dad is a big stage green/blue type of guy and he helped put me on the empathy for others path but it never made deep sense to me until I had mystical experiences to really relate to my fellow human beings otherwise it would've felt forced to me. @niko123 Thanks man, I'll check that out. I'm trying to integrate the main character of my game as both the 2nd coming of jesus, an incarnation of the devil and a manifestation of Shiva who ends up attacking Mount Olympus so previous thoughts written around a combined mythological model is very useful to me!

Ownership. Cosmetics owned and controlled by Jagex and Valve have 10% of the true value potential of an immutable asset. If you have a CSGO blockchain skin and valve decides to ban you and it can still be traded to other players and used by them in the next version of CS like games because we are now in a web 3 world vs a web 2 one; then the world changes forever. Of course. I think many lessons will be learned from the 2021-2022 era of NFTs and the next wave of products built around it will be far superior.

Mythology. I'm using common myths like Christianity, Hinduism and Greek mythology to write my IP Legend of the Abyss and it's really cool the deep lessons that have permeated humanity through our myths. I'm constantly humbled as I think of myself as a cutting-edge intellectual but seeing a writer from 3000 years ago write some wisdom that solves a psychological hangup I have is a pretty, dare I say, mystical experience!

Remember that we're on a self-development forum. Not a safe space to be validated about your biases without confrontation forum. Calling a moderator when challenged on one's views is on brand for a stage green victim-mindset individual. Notice that when my points were challenged I made them stronger and didn't back down from the challenge. Stage green loves to make their personal flaws a moral virtue. That is indeed the sign of a weak, ego-driven psyche. You take an honest conversation (albeit a slightly aggressive one) as an insult to your character as opposed to an exercise in deconstruction of both the platform and your relationship to it. You don't have to reply to me but take it as an opportunity for introspection, growth and adoption of an antifragile mindset that will both help you in life but also to have a healthier relationship to social media if you decide to go back to it. Having impact requires becoming stronger through adversity, not folding to it.

Since you dodged every single question, you’ve basically made my point: you don't possess the discipline or agency to interface with high-leverage tools without becoming their victim. If your attention is that easily hijacked, total abstinence is definitely your only move.

I think that's a limiting belief my man. The obvious common argument is that short form content dilutes the message and to reach 3 billion people you have to pander to the masses. Sure, on a surface level. That's why funnels are a thing. You start out wide and you convert people to a different platform where you can engage with them deeper to convey the more substantial aspects of your message. This is marketing 101. I do it in a way that I have city-specific pages so I can reach people in different locales and target my content to them. There are many different ways to do it but it works quite well. If you have true value to give to others why not give it to as many people as you can? I think that's an indisputable notion.
