https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/noam-chomsky-jeffrey-epstein-ties-emails?CMP=share_btn_url https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1p3uvfl/chomsky_had_deeper_ties_with_epstein_than/ Such a fascinating development as it seems one of the heroes of the left Noam Chomsky had a decently deep friendship with Epstein. The interesting part to me was that Noam didn't seem to be guilty or interested in any of the sex with minors stuff, it was mostly an intellectual friendship with the article writing about when one time they were hanging out and discussing the Oslo accords, Epstein picked up his phone and called up the Norwegian diplomat involved in the negotiations. "“I met Jeffrey Epstein half a dozen years ago,” read the letter of support from Chomsky that was reviewed by the Guardian after its Republican House oversight committee release. “We have been in regular contact since, with many long and often in-depth discussions about a very wide range of topics, including our own specialties and professional work, but a host of others where we have shared interests. It has been a most valuable experience for me." It reminds me of the christian point that all human beings are corrupt and only Jesus could've been pure. We all have our temptations towards the dark side and Chomsky was communicating and praising Epstein for over 10 years since he has publicly charged with soliciting sex from a minor.

You get one policy to pass as the King or Queen of this hypothetical world government, what would it be and why?

@Wisebaxter I noticed that I dislike when people are rude to me when they feel bad it feels unjust and like they're dumping their negativity on me. Logically it's not a cool thing to do. I used to do it to people but rationalize it as well I'm being rude but at least I'm right. There's a duality that Leo talked about where you're either in the fear polarity or the love polarity and I notice when I feel the need to logic someone to death it's usually out of insecurity or anger as opposed to actually wanting to have a good conversation or meaning well for the person so I keep catching myself. It's usually more obvious when I do it to friends and family because I feel bad whereas random people I don't mind dominating to prove a point as much but I'm starting to be more empathetic even to internet strangers.

@Hojo Interesting one, why do you think that would make for better governance? Remove other incentives? @UnbornTao Sounds like universally applied rule of law to me. @Ramasta9 Classic but good one for balance.

What's perhaps more interesting is discussing the psychology of these people that are plenty powerful and have access to sexual opportunities with adults but choose to engage with minors and/or conduct sexual assault and impose themselves on unwilling participants. A lot of the accusations especially regarding Trump are along those lines like the accusations from E. Jean Carroll and others.

Do you want to flesh out your identity further or are you content with your current life? I'm a big believer that through AI ubi humanity will be freed from the shackles of labor something between 2035-2050. Some people will use that to make their lives even more complicated and get a brain chip and explore the universe and virtual verse and become super intelligences themselves, this path appeals to me personally. Some others will be able to slow down and go deeper in their relationship with their family, community, hobbies, etc and that seems to be the path that appeals to you more. @Hojo I would define a normie as someone who doesn't really think too deeply about life and were society is headed they're more simple minded. Visionaries on the other hand take great effort to imagine and bring forth this positive future for humanity. I'm very humbled at the visionary forefathers that have helped shaped the pleasant parts of our reality today.

It's true. If you come at it from a nondual angle then anything you want in life you can get by just getting better at cooperating with the rest of reality and that's mostly done through communication. I'm working on nonviolent communication as my next big communication skill. As an INTP I tend to be overly logical and use it as a weapon against people that disagree with me or just have a different perspective and I don't like that in myself and others. It shows up even here on this forum and I apologize to people if I've been rude to you in the past. It serves as to highlight my insecurities usually and my lack of communication skills if anything.

@UnbornTao Absolutely untrue and this is a huge stage green shadow IMO. Poverty is not a virtue. Nor is weakness nor lack of competence. If you agree on my premise that wealth is made by providing scalable solutions to people's problems then of course you can do that in a conscious or unconscious way but glorifying piety is a massive spiritual trap. How can you sell to me that you being unable to help your fellow humans is you having an unusually high level of consciousness? Laughable concept. Tony Robins talks a lot about this concept where poor people use their lack of success as virtue signaling but usually is a shadow that hides if anything lower levels of development.

@TruthFreedom That makes much more sense. Wanting a simpler way of life I would call you a traditionalist more than a doomer. Doomers believe civilization is going to hell and refuse to do anything to help that just complain all day.

What are the main points and what do you think about them?

Of course. Most business is about solving people's problems. The profit motive can corrupt that but if you're in general a high quality thinker and problem solver there are endless ways to money through that skillset.

I like the idea that the main function of government should be to provide security for it's citizens. The control part just being necessary to achieve that end. If I were to use just logic to think of a simple perfect system I think smart contracts mixed with AI surveillance will be the norm. You will have AI constantly watching earth 24/7 and your private data will be viewed by no one unless it detects that you're aiming to do something criminal and then it will counteract that either by warning you, alerting authorities or in an eventual future where we all have neura link type devices by straight up stopping you from doing it. As strange of a future as that sounds, I would argue that most problems in society today stem from us not having any technology on earth currently able to apply the rule of law universally. The UN is a laughing stock organization because they don't have military power(and for good reason) but you can picture an AI augmented UN(that also is able to monitor not only the populace but the ruling class as well) to be able to solve basically most problems of humanity. I believe that crime will disappear from our societies in the next 5-20 years very predictably. Someone like Donald Trump who's taking a sledgehammer to the US government and somehow managed to become the most powerful man on earth despite being a raging criminal from many accounts will only further highlight the necessity to having an immutable legal system and blockchain is a perfect technology for that.

"There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen" - Vladimir Lenin I've been thinking and researching about this concept for a while without being able to articulate it but this concept came to me recently. I believe there are 5 infinities coming to humanity in the next decades as long as we don't blow up eachother beforehand. 1) Infinity of money The most fun one. Although AI has not yet fulfilled it's financial promise there are already plenty of intitutions working on financial agents that will basically solve the concept of money through financial markets and even sales agents and eventually physical robots that fulfill labor jobs and end up providing the basis of the economy. For those of you that will now say that this will lead to a dystopian future, I don't believe so. That's one of the outcomes but you could say that outcome lacks alignment in terms of game theory and if someone made a smart contract that owned financial AI agents and automatically redistributed funds accross 8 billion unique wallets for each human that would be the most financially sound business model possible and would end up beating out other use cases for financial agents that other companies are gonna sell and pitch for your investments. Proof of personhood is a concept in crypto being worked on right now to create unique wallets for each human so that bots can't overun the internet basically and human identities are protected across the web. No longer will anyone on earth be a non identifiable data point. Here are the AI for business projects being worked on right now, this one covers project vend by Anthropic that was tried a few months ago They're not very successful so far but you can imagine that as they work on iteration the ones a year from now let alone 5 and 10 years will be pretty insane and completely overhaul the fabric of our current global economic system. There are mainly scenarios that turn out dystopian and oligarchal but I believe in the game theory that favors populism and the end of class divide and the enforcement of unalienable human rights through blockchain. 2 ) Infinity of Energy One of the biggest crisis facing humanity is climate change through the use of fossil fuels. There are massive advancements made in terms of renewable energy which the biggest of which being nuclear energy and the ever illusive nuclear fusion. There are major breakthroughs happening every few years in that regard and commercial fusion is predicted to come on the market as early as 2030. Companies like Helion Energy are planning to release their first pilot in 2028. More bearish estimates have this revolution coming closer towards 2035-2050 and that's possible especially with the current blugening of the US scientific apparatus and the cooling of US and china collaboration but the good news is that this is practically possible and is mostly held back not by technological limitations no longer but moreso by geopolitical realities of our current era. For those not familiar with fusion power it's basically in a nutshell infinite free green energy on the scale that humanity has never seen before. 3) Infinity of life This might be the most drastic but there are also multiple world class institutions currently working on and making good advances on ending aging and even reversing it. One of which being Harvard school of medicine through the lab of Dr. David Sinclair as well as Altos Labs and multiple other labs. 4) Infinity of physical space The first human is predicted to land on Mars in the 2030s or early 2040s and although it might not be exactly a luxury vacation at the present moment if you choose to accept or at least temporary imagine the premise that humans are soon to be biologically immortal the we can easily make the case that humanity will surely spread throughout the Solar system and soon enough universe. There are 2 trillions in the observable universe and many times more than that overall so you can easily say the case that God made the universe to be completely infinite and humanity will be gifted the opportunity to explore it once we make peace on earth and get our technology beyond light year travel. 5) Infinity of virtual space The most easily imaginable and in a way already is the case today but I think you can easily picture it once you think of virtual reality and augmented reality fully taking hold in our society. Pokemon Go was a basic example of what an augmented reality phenomenon will look like and billions of dollars have been put in virtual reality each year for over a decade now and the most recent versions are starting to become something aching to infinity virtual worlds. The main current limitation is the bulky and uncomfortable headset but if you've read thus far and started thinking about the other technologies I've mentioned then pratical VR shouldn't be too crazy for you to imagine. It will soon come in the form of quite comfortable VR headsets that are closer to the AR glasses currently on the market and eventually will become pretty seemless through contact lenses and eventually full on brain-computer interfaces and full 5 senses(and new senses?) immersion. I think many people here will have objections here but I wanna at least start the discussion off in terms of timelines and possibility. So people tend to overestimate progress in the short term and underestimate it in the long term. It was not that long that if you told someone about humans flying through the sky through metal tubes all over the world you would've been called stupid and crazy. I'm not a fan of the current wave of doomerism spreading on the internet and in our society as I'm a firm believer that the future is looking quite optimistic as long as we solve the very real serious problems that are facing humanity. We humans are incredibly powerful and soon will perhaps be infinitely powerful as long as we unite and reach towards these 5 infinites and beyond.

It's the best time in history to make money outside of the system. It's incredibly difficult but rewarding. I've been working on it for 10 years with many successes and failure. It's a deeply personal quest as your mental blocks and passions are gonna be different than other humans. I would start watching a few business videos on Youtube and seeing what catches your fancy

Leo started out as a life coach which makes sense to me. You take your inquiry process and turn it into specific outcomes you offer people. He then used the power of social media to amplify that to the point that he could then switch to a more passive income model instead of a weekly active coaching model. The book "So Good they can't ignore you" by Cal Newport talks in depth about turning your passion into a lucrative endeavour and where common pitfalls are. I would be extremely careful with this mindset as money is much deeper spiritually that most people and seems like you included give it credit for. It's a universal account of value. Meaning it's a strong counter to delusion. You can sit in your room and ponder random stuff all day but being able to turn that into value for other humans is what makes your thoughts valuable and not random nonsense.

It's beautiful, love space. Can't wait until we explore it further.

@SimpleGuy Sure, why not? You have to be careful with the correlation not causation fallacy. You can be an unproductive member of society and not watch porn and you can be a daily gooner and be very productive.

I think it's in the first episode where he mentions one of the payoff of doing this self-actualization work is that the concepts you learn build over years and you get the satisfaction of understanding the world better than anyone else. I remember watching this series years ago before I really got into politics and it made a huge difference on my understanding of the world. Without it I would've been a way angrier person that uses divisive rhetoric accidentally instead of seeing the power of uniting people.

@NewKidOnTheBlock I believe it is inevitable. Elites fundamentally have nothing to gain by keeping this AI technology to themselves. Short term yes there will be a lot of layoffs but I believe this global UBI system is coming. Many countries have already started testing it. Saudi Arabia has an early prototype of this system where they distribute the profits of the government owned national oil company to their citizens. @Ishanga I think we've improved in the last 500 years but it's definitely not enough. I lived in Toronto for a while and it was a beautiful mix of all cultures and people from all around the world. Now Canada is facing some anti immigration sentiment but it is all economic. If we manage to fix our geopolitical issues and unite then humanity will have a bright and wealthy future ahead of itself.

Would love to live in Miami for a couple years.

Doomers and general pessimists are one of the most cringe people imaginable and I try to never associate with them if I can help it. Basically a proud version of the victim mindset. I hope you grow out of it, it's one of the most low value and disgusting mindsets in my opinion. Weakness is not a virtue, only growth and abundance are. The best example is this subreddit, read it for 30 mins and you'll get depressed like a cloud of negativity infected you. https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse Read my posts on the 5 coming infinities to get some optimism back into your life

@origin Be careful with Notion they're notoriously a hard company to deal with and they can view all your notes nothing is encrypted. Obsidian is much better. I've used Notion for 2 years now, up to 32 000 notes. It's a phenomenal software, thank you to @Leo Gura for introducing me to the notion of a commonplace book, it's taken my intellectual ability to a whole other paradigm.

This is generally a red pill topic but I find can also be deeply spiritual. Most men and a lot of the comments and the post I see on this forum come from a low value mindset and perspective. Your viewpoint thus is corrupted because the problems that you complain about are more based on macroeconomics and personal responsibility than actual dating and cultural trends worth addressing. Have a career/business that allows you some financial independence and pleasant lifestyle and work on your emotional trauma and communication skill and you'll have an infinitely abundant dating life and rise above 90% of the problems the average man has to deal with.

@Leo Gura Thanks for the tips man

@Hojo Why on earth wouldn't you pay for your dating life? Tinder platinum and a boost are like $60 and can get you unlimited dates if you have good pictures. Paying for things you find valuable is a no brainer to me. You need paid dating apps unless you're a male model and even then the guys I know that are pretty good looking are also spamming boosts so really there's no reason to not pay for dating apps unless you're broke or somehow make it an ego thing where somehow beautiful women should fall into your life without you having to expand resources to make that happen.
