@Miguel1 I never said otherwise. I think approaching has been discussed in depth on this forum and over the internet but social circle is still a very misunderstood concept that's not mastered by many people. You also could by pass the approaching stage entirely and just use Instagram to create events and invite people to them but approaching teaches you a lot on calibration so I think it's a good warmup phase.

That's exactly what the exponential growth of technology solves. We have created the most powerful computational systems in human history and spent hundreds of billions to do so and people in Syria can have access to this technology from a $100 device. It's a massive democratization of technology. @AerisVahnEphelia I think you're wrong in saying absolutes based on the limited technology we have today but we can keep the conversation simple and in the scope of things that we can predict will happen in the next 5-10 years. For now computer brain interfaces like Neuralink have already helped paraplegic people use their mind to use phones and computers and are aiming to cure blindness by bypassing the optical nerve.

I think perhaps a good place to bring back this discussion is tangible steps instead of this whole scary transhumanism and humans fusing with AI, let's just think about what exponential technology means. If we can hope to have our technological progress go exponential over the next few decades instead of linear, massive milestones for humanity like cancer become not pipedreams but inevitabilities. Eventually major breakthroughs like this will happen and after cancer will come heart disease and neural degeneration and yes I do think eventually some form of uploading your consciousness to the cloud. If we accept that consciousness is immortal and infinite due to nonduality then I don't see why it wouldn't make sense for humanity to be able to bring it further than the short 80 years that end up biological collapse that all of us have been forced to take part in our human experience since the dawn of time.

I have an okay social life, I host events regularly so I know a lot of people but I want to put more effort to create an active business community where I live. @Natasha Tori Maru That makes sense, feels similar to my relationship with it at the moment. Not quite needed but still smoking daily, like an unnecessary crutch. Maybe its why I get angry when arguing with people lol.

@Natasha Tori Maru I apologize it's not really my intention to be rude.

Well put. Understanding economics is valuable in understanding socialzation. You must offer other people value in order for them to value you. This has been true in our cavemen days and is true now. You don't need to be valuable to EVERYONE, just the people who you care about having in your life. The capitalist system is cold in displaying this truth but it is a truth nonetheless. You can offer plenty of value whether you're neurodivergent or not. Most people are lazy and entitled though whether they're neurotypical is irrelevant in the matter.

It's good that you've noticed the need to transition to a community leader and start your own meetup group rather than do pickup. Notice that pickup is going to another man's business to talk to his female customers in a nightclub or just being the random guy on the street approaching girls that are on the way somewhere. Social circle game is the ultimate form of pickup because it relies on creating your own environment(tribe) and inviting women and men into it and creating value and mission yourself. It is endlessly scalable both in depth and in width. I wish you luck on your future endeavours and if I had to leave you a bit of insight it would be this: if you offer value and market it properly you will not need to prown the street asking women for their attention. It will be abundant.

I'm sorry I'm gonna have to hold you to a stronger intellectual standard than this. If you'd like to engage in meaningful discussion on the future of humanity and you have some concerns on the ethical implementations of transhumanism and biotech you should give a more credible argument than "transhumanism is garbage." Any technology can be implemented in ethical or non ethical ways. That's mostly a discussion on legislation and politics at that point. @AerisVahnEphelia I don't think you've thought about this fully. Neuralink is not just software, it's hardware as well. It fundamentally increases the computing ability of the human brain. That increased cognitive matter(think of it as adding another massive cortex to our brain similar to how humans differ from animals due to our neocortex.) That added computational ability will both be used in our world as well as the virtual world. Yes this will obviously mark the end of capitalism as we know it which is part of my point in this post talking about the difference between base humans and superhumans. There will be a need for AI ubi to take form otherwise most humans will become unemployable forever. Elon musks talks about this himself. He's a big advocate for post scarcity. He even talks about a full post scarcity where the economic difference between AI enhanced elite billionaire entrepreneurs and a random fisherman is negligible due to humanity spreading throughout the universe and basically becoming a Karsadhev type 3 civilization. I'm getting really tired of arguing feelings on this forum. If you want to discuss specific timelines for specific innovations I'd be happy to. If you just want to express your feelings on how complicated this sounds and how little you understand it then I encourage you to talk to an AI model about it so you don't waste our somehow infinite but still precious human time. I would bet a lot of money that everyone discussing neuralink and elon musk on this forum haven't watched 30 mins of his 9 hour FREE neuralink video on youtube where he brings not only himself but Matthew MacDougall (head neuro surgeon at Neuralink) and Bliss Chapman(brain interface lead) on to talk about the project IN DEPTH.

I thought it was indeed a phenomenal speech, made me proud that this is our leader.

@Sandroew You're right but the bottleneck is precisely technology. You need technology to unite the world to world peace. Computing, internet, AI and blockchain are technologies that I believe will be crucial to improving the standards of living of the global population just as many technologies in the past have improve western standards of living and also global ones.

@integral Disagreed with this core premise. His core focus as of late has been pure truth. Otherwise understood as how to get rid of our delusions. This work can be endlessly philosophized and theorized but I would argue that one of the best metrics to verify its working in your life is the self actualization of your career and business. What else is more important to you? And we can prove this because this whole forum is only possible because of Leo's financial freedom. So in a way he lost touch with the common man and isn't connected to survival like most people on this forum are. Try self actualizing in Iran right now and being able to focus on your relationship to truth while your own survival is at play. I mean you can say that is the deepest truth there is but I would call that a stage red truth and we only truly become sovereign individuals once we achieve stage orange financial independence.

You're misunderstanding the evolution of sovereignty as a technology. The industrial revolution did not bring with it the sovereignty of the individual. The scale of what an individual can accomplish is of course increased by machinery but that cannot lead to his liberation. That is only achieved with the 3rd and 4th industrial revolution with giving one person the ability to access global markets seamlessly through a cheap device on the internet. As we see here as we are all assembled through the work of one single individual Leo Gura, which would not have been possible virtually until recently and thus such a gathering of minds would've been limited to local gatherings. The 4th industrial revolution brings with it the access to mass labor at cheap prices to any individual. The ramifications of what are incredibly exciting to think about. Basically all the fucking complaining socialists will now themselves have access to 1000 employees at any time so if it's so easy to create a big enterprise and make money you'll be able to do it. And blockchain will allow us to create powerful collaboration frameworks under which cooperation will be heavily favoured over competition.

@Nick_98 Belonging with untruthful people is not based, it's the epitome of your ego and base animal instinct. Forging your path and becoming a true leader to those that embrace higher ideals will isolate you from 99% of mankind unless you master materialism to give to them like carrots on a stick. You speak very foolishly for someone that comes at it from a being above ego perspective lol

I agree, I think the content here is fabulous for epistemology and sense making but got weak when it comes to practical purposes. Which is why I've been trying to post actively on the life purpose and entrepreneurship forum to talk concretely about making money and fleshing out business opportunities we have available at our disposal.

How so? The whole history of humanity is based on transhumanism. Just us communicating right now over thousands of miles is pretty damn close to telepathy. Watch the radical open mindedness video again. For people supposed to push the boundaries of what's possible for humans intellectually, spiritually and otherwise you guys are very close minded. Plenty of billionaires and innovators care about the ethics of this. You're indeed being scared and close minded but we can talk about it if you'd like. You're using a sweeping generalization and fear mongering. Bill Gates for example is one of the biggest example of a tech buy being fearmongered. He spent his life after making billions working to eradicate disease globally. I don't know what exactly you mean by becoming God. You are already God in human form. Humans have been fighting to be able to live in this cruel physical world since the dawn of time. You can stay that our story has been about fighting against death and forced labor. That's finally about to change. I understand it's hard to wrap your mind around but it's not really that radical. Please put forth logical arguments and not emotional ones and I'll walk you guys through them. If your arguments are emotional I don't have much to say apart from rejoice and believe, the greatest timeline is getting built. If you had faith and truly believed in God and truth why would you have so much doubt about human technology reaching it's full potential? What does all the technology ever built by humanity except ameliorate our life and our ability to communicate with eachother?
