So beyond your post-colonial grievances, how do we suggest that we move forward to make our societies productive and safe? That's a very real geopolitical truth. The US mainly flourished as a superpower due to Oceans protecting its borders and being basically impossible to invade. Europe doesn't have that luxury and it's a great part of why it and the middle east are conflict ridden regions. The solutions that we propose and our politicians implement must consider these truths if they are be viable and not just based in virtue signalling.

It's near the top of my to read list. Currently reading his other book Laws of Human Nature and once I finish that I'll probably pickup a copy of the art of seduction. I'm very familiar with seduction strategies and framework, I'm now looking for a more historical exploration of how seduction work and the different archetypes of it. Especially I'm interested if he's gonna touch on the sensual lover archetype that enjoys human sensuality and connection and thus values having many sexual partners as that's the one I feel myself developping into. It seems missing from modern discourse as sexuality is either talked about in terms of solely the strategy of it or how the sexual revolution has affected culture whereas I'm more interested in the exploration of love with many people otherwise known as polyamory! I like this image, came up when I typed polyamory wallpaper on Google images. Combines the many loves etymology of Polyamory(poly = many and amory means love) with the bisexuality angle of being able to desire and love both genders.

Your reply sounds to me more like Stage Green moral outrage vs Stage Yellow systemic thinking. Understand our history and how the states we inhabit were formed is very important. The current politicians today are not the same ones that operated the Canadian Indian residential school system nor is that what we were discussing in terms of immigrants assimilating in a culture. If you have a particular interest in discussing the history of First Nations in Canada I would be curious to do so as well as I think they actually did not assimilate well to our current society and the system that was used historically and even today clearly is not working. I'm interested in solutions and how we make our world better than it is 5 and 10 years from now; if you have some in mind feel free to share as that's a valuable topic to discuss.

I would take the issue from a first principles perspective and look at why the situation is happening and who is profiting from it. Some migrants are problematic but most are just looking for a better life and have no problem offering value to the society they're joining. Why are your politicians so lazy in assimilating those migrants and what are they gaining by allowing unrestricted immigration? I'm in Montreal currently and the Quebec government is one of the best in the world at integrating immigrants. Migrants are forced to take french classes funded by the government and it ends up in a society where people from all kinds of ethnic backgrounds are living and working together with not that much issue. Not to say Quebec is perfect but it seems to be miles ahead of what's going on in Europe and we rarely hear about migrant crime here even though the switch from a solely Caucasian population to a multicural one happened just the same. I'm a 2nd generation immigrant and my Dad from Chad to study here and then chose to build a life for himself in Canada when he met my mom who was a french Canadian woman. I feel totally Canadian whereas a lot of 2nd generation european immigrants see themselves as the culture they come from and they now have an opportunity to stick it back to the white man or some weird inferiority complex they still carry today. I would say I've integrated so well to North America that I've outgrown the Quebecois culture which is more socialistic and anti capilistic but I can still mingle in it at ease which also fitting into more American minded cities like Toronto. In Quebec and Canada, immigrants cause LESS crimes than the native population. In a lot of European countries, the immigrants cause 2-3x more crimes than the native population. That's an insane difference and you absolutely should hold your elected officials responsible for these outcomes. It's easy to blame unruly youths in the streets for you feeling personally uncomfortable but they are not the ones responsible for how their parents have integrated into your community. Government policies handle that.

I'm not but I think it's really good that these high profile sexual assault case are coming out. I'm a big believer that AI will solve all crimes and wars in the next 20 years and cases like this that publicly litigate and break down what happened are phenomenal for the epistemology of finding the truth of people claiming innocence for crimes they're accused of. Rape is one of the last bastions of criminology as other destructive crimes like murder and theft are way easier to prove. It's truly a hard question to answer, what piece of circumstantial evidence do you use to build a case beyond doubt? Are you 100% sure or 95%/99% sure? There is a MASSIVE different in both perspectives. Plenty of people have been 100% sure of things that turned out to be 100% false. We have to leave room for human error and other darker incentives that leave room for the accuser to gain something out of making accusations IMO. As soon as you go into 100% certainty of something that lacks detail that points to the narrative reinforcing a bias that one might have. The justice system is one of the top use cases for AI, in 10 years and probably way less it'll become quite simple to analyze someone's brain and see if they are lying. The lie detectors that we currently have can have errors but I think that's asymptote towards 100% certainty of truth is getting closer and closer each week. Soon enough it'll be able to generate a memory recreation video of what happened during a crime and be able to catch perpetrators beyond a shadow of a doubt. I think the Epstein Case is the most important criminal case in history and will keep pushing the need for the rule of law to be applied universally no matter your political power and wealth and the dominos that will set the end of crime forever for the humanity of the future are already falling quite rapidly.

I read most of it for the book club I used to run, quite enjoyed it! It takes some seemingly simple common knowledge about habits and fleshes them out as well as making them much more concrete.

I think you are biased against science and AI. Science for a lot of good reasons because the amount of effort to make a name for yourself and change the status quo in the scientific community is immense. That doesn't mean that nonduality or mystical teachings invalidate the scientific method and that you can credibly make arguments that fall outside of it. AI I think it's because it threatens your status as an intellectual since a lot of the concepts in your videos come from synthesizing thousands of hours reading books which can now be achieved by LLMs. You're been very dismissive of its potential to produce intelligence and even though you have some good points on it, I think you are fundamentally biased on it. If you put more time mastering AI it would push the quality of your work to the next level. I think it also probably stems from your health issues and specifically your low energy since keeping up with all the AI news and stress testing the new models that come out continuously to get them to produce high quality insights takes a lot of energy. I similarly find myself having procrastinated on my learning of AI to help my life's work and I think it's due to some very real mental blocks that I see in myself, you and others both on the forum and in society at large. I think it's fine to have limitations but when you speak with absolute certainty on things that AI fundamentally cannot do then you lose a bit of credibility since often times I've found it's already either false or it seems quite likely that in 1-2 years it will undoubtedly have reached that level let alone in 1-2 decades. There are valid concerns to have with overhyping that techbros do but the potential and benefits of the technology have already started to bear fruit so I think it's a good time for us to wrack our brains to pull further benefits from it for the community and world as a whole! That's why I made this thread, to focus on practical benefits that this community's users can derive from AI instead of either fear-mongering on it or hypothesizing on future applications without actually using it productively daily.

What kind of value and to who? There is value in just being a character in the world, I rather there be 8 billion of us than 10. Society is too competitive for that to be enough to add value to someone's goals though. If you are trying to network with cool guys and women in demand you need to have worked on yourself to stand far above the average person otherwise people will not have time for you. From a nondual sense, we are here to experience duality so building up your character to be very valuable along paths that are of interest to you is the main goal of existence. Using spirituality to bypass that would be quite silly. When I feel anxious or depressed it does help me immensely to remember that I don't have fundamentally have to provide value to anyone and it's only a gift I'm building up for myself; giving yourself an awesome life is a privilege but if it becomes a burden you can pause it.

Agreed! I think green is one of the most important stages but the most ineffective and frustrating to be in. It invalidates such key concepts of our reality that the people in it are bound to be left angry and feeling like a victim. Only by going beyond that and doing deep research on the systems of the world that do create inequality(and plenty of free value that we don't have to work for as well) do you start to see the limits of complaining and how you can have a deep impact on your life and on society at large by understanding leverage. @Alexop You would not have made this post if you knew 30 really hot and cool women in your city. I would focus on becoming a man of value and abundance and that will take care of a lot of your dating life. Yes you can also do this by being a selective intellectual that engages in deep conversations; as a matter of fact it'll work even better that way. People at the top of social hierarchies are usually quite refined and fascinating to talk to, from the bottom they look shallow but that's because they operate with complicated systems that are hard to understand and appreciate at first glance.

You don't believe in the nonduality teachings talked about by Leo? Monogamy is an invention of society to stabilize itself, it doesn't point to any spiritual truths. You have a shared connection with every woman and man on earth. To think that you can only have an eternal connection with one person is a bit silly. I think you're indoctrinated if you believe that you can't find a lot of intimacy, respect and even love in anything but a monogamous relationship. @SimpleGuy Regardless of if casual sex appeals to you, working on your social life is still quite important. The average man is lonely and isolated and has not much impact in society. You can work on all of these things and have very little sex or you can build up your social capital and have a lot of sex along with it. A lot of the men on the forum are quite sheltered so that will reflect in their opinions but if we push the concept further; the benefits of having social capital go much beyond sex.

Don't let the news cycle bring you down. Much progress is happening weekly as well. The future is looking bright.

Yes you attract what you are, not what you want. The self is improvable though. Having a bad mindset is not a problem unless you refuse to change it. That's why self-awareness is the best place to start. Write your dream life and then strategize on what skills you need to develop to get there. By nature I'm quite shy, awkward and introverted. I'm built up such a big network and advanced social skills that usually extroverts don't believe me that I'm an introvert that mostly likes to stay home by himself. Throwing 1-2 cool events a month still involves mostly chilling at home and thinking on how you can make your own event better. Ironically extroverts find that part boring so most networks and events are built by introverts.

Thanks bro, I appreciate you! What you need to do is shoot some street interviews of your own, approach some women you think I would like. Then we will trade and keep growing our reach. Then when we get our castles we will actually have too many women that want to show up to the house warming party. I want it so that the cops have to travel and shut down the party because there are just too many women in these castles it's just not safe. Angry Cop: "Who's in charge here, this is madness!" Lord Fall & Ulax : "We are sorry sir, next time we will try to not invite too many women, you're completely right this is irresponsible. Have you met Sarah over there? Earlier she said she had a thing for cops, she'll show you some radical open-mindedness and we will make sure the fires are well contained."

Getting some initial traction for it if the app is good is pretty simple. I would just print a t-shirt with the app name and logo and do a bunch of street interviews like this

Most people today are not able to live their lives how they want, they have jobs they dislike and are constantly stressed. Being able to have a hot shower is not being post scarcity. If people get UBI they will have their whole life to self-actualize and pursue what is meaningful to them. It's gonna be a beautiful positive change for our civilization. There are no incentives to harm the population, just because the rich people don't care about the poor doesn't mean they have a vested interest in hurting them. I would say there are many upsides to providing help to them. It's ROI positive to scale UBI worldwide. Rich people will maintain their purchasing power and it will increase if anything and poor people will get their living needs met. This happens when you don't get to the root of your desires and where they stem from and thus the solution you build for it only addresses the surface craving and not the core need. There are plenty of forms of abundance that enrich your life and feel deeply fulfilling. Can you elaborate on what the abundance you built looked like and what was not fulfilling about it?
