I'm highly introverted and care a lot about status and money. A lot less recently these past few months as I've been using generative AI to do some worldbuilding and create my own anime/video game. I now realized I can create an alternative to the real world if need be or even more beautiful is create mix that enhances both. Really looking forward to creating my own cryptocurrency and blockchain so that my fantasy characters in my world actually interact with our own world. I believe the first provable parallel universes will come from VR/crypto. I don't get why most people are not more obsessed with status and wealth. It's obviously not the whole picture and you need to do it from a state of development but most of the issues of scarcity that you have in life are due to your lack of status and wealth. The whole reason leftists/liberals dislike the state of the US government is because they're not powerful enough to change it, don't have enough resources to have a deeper impact and don't have the status to influence important people. How can anyone credibly argue that status and wealth are not some of the top values to have? I know the importance of truth and love being on top of those but if anybody doesn't have those in their top 10 they're bound to have not that much impact on their own life let alone have NO impact at all whatsoever to their greater city and country and our civilization. Why choose to not be able to have an impact?

Only 5-15% of Taiwanese report wanting unification with China, where are you getting the idea that the west is the force keeping Taiwan sovereign?

It's because it implicates much further than just the american political elite. A lot of European politicians and nobility were involved.

Never been to thailand but I do find femboys attractive. Planning on going to anime conventions to game and meet some there this year.

You're welcome. Well if you'd like feel free to share your life purpose and we can explore how deploying more money towards it would or wouldn't help actualize it faster or more powerfully.

@Joshe Way better ways to gain structure and discipline than to sell yourself to a corrupt authoritarian organization. @machinegun How deeply have you worked on the principles on this forum in terms of introspection and meditation? Have you taken psychedelics? What about specifically 5-meo-DMT and something like(not a psychedelic) MDMA? Sounds like you need a mystical experience to make you experience some divine love to set you on the right path. Or in less woo woo terms you need a fucking W my guy otherwise life is just draining and depressing I agree. How is your life purpose doing not some vague bs like helping people but if you were a genie that could manifest your perfect exact dream life, how close are you in % to achieving in today and what's stopping you?

Then your life purpose is weak IMO. You need money to achieve scale and efficiency. You're not too interested in helping solve the problems of the world?

Talks about a quiet civil war brewing

Yeah I think it's important for us to talk about and think about these events as they happen as it's basically applied spirituality and epistemology. “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” The Iran situation is hard to keep track of with the internet blackout but I hope they stay safe and unite for a better future.

trade war against Canada now

Yeah I agree, there is a reason these guys don't wear body cams. They hate accountability and responsibility. Truth will expose them. The foundation of western society is rule of law and the legal system and their abuse of it has to be thoroughly documented. The agent that killed Alex Pretti yesterday is not yet identified but the last one that killed Renee Good is Jonathan Ross. Shame. https://sundayguardianlive.com/world/who-is-jonathan-ross-ice-agent-identified-in-minneapolis-shooting-of-renee-nicole-good-163814/

@Basman When you put it like that I agree with you, humans should be more in touch with their survival and also help other nearbys and create strong intentional communities. Really sad that people end up homeless in modern cities.

I don't think I have an addiction though because I've quit it before intentionally for productivity periods. I did 75 days last year of no fap, no alcohol and no weed and wasn't particularly hard. Afterwards I started again because I didn't notice that much of a difference and just wanted to test my willpower mostly. I'm not convinced my life would be better off if I quit smoking entirely but there are a few subtle things that do bother me like compulsive behaviour for one I don't like the feeling of anxiety I get when I run out of weed it proves my weakness.

I don't understand your point and who it's speaking to. You're saying if you can't afford to move out good and take it as an opportunity for community building? I mean sure but also work on a business and empower yourself economically so you're not codependent and lacking independence.

I think communist ideals will be applied through AI ubi and post scarcity. Past movements were corrupted by survival, scarcity and authoritarianism.

I agree with @aurum that it's more reminiscent of codependency rather than powerful interdependency. It's important for young people to have the independence and sovereignty to be able to survive in the world without the help of their parents and family. They should still hold ties with their community but in a voluntary fashion not because the global economy is collapsing for middle class and lower class folks.

He will be powerless to do so if powerful democratic leaders with strong anticorruption bias and a stage yellow consciousness arise as I believe will be the case. In other news the US might be heading towards another government shutdown due to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1qm3nj7/shutdown_risk_grows_as_democrats_revolt_after/ https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/shutdown-senate-democrats-minneapolis-shooting-00745642

I agree with you. I think we are headed towards the unification of the global order into a world federation that goes beyond national interest into global interest. The current crisis of international law regarding the situations in Ukraine, Gaza and Venezuela foreshadow this as well as the rise of a new possible robotic military peacekeeping force under the control of the United Nations. There is a movement advocating for this called World federalism.

I think it'll be very important for the democratic party to unite in the midterms and propose new effective action to oppose Magaland

Can you share with us examples of how you're superhuman?

@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.
