You gotta be careful with Jiang, he is not qualified and makes bad points to get views. I relied on him too until I used AI to fact check what he was saying and he uses the Pareto principle very well to research 20% to come up with something that sounds 80% credible but is 70% full of shit. I used to like his videos too because he links multiple topics together in interesting ways but if you watch them without double checking every point he makes you will be caught by misinformation if not probably intentional disinformation. There are more accurate videos that you can watch on the key points that he brings up. I have to admit they are way more boring though and you have to go deeper in your research but at least you're not mislead.

In this case the predator is a toxic man or a low value man pretending to not be one. Even for a man, association with low-value men is ruinous as they literally don't offer value to your life and nothing is really neutral so often times they really lech value from you until you're drained to the point of exhaustion or worse. For a woman it's the same thing except if she makes the error of getting pregnant by such a man, her life will now be disastrously impacted compared to having found a reliable man that she can count on.

Lol yeah that was definitely a hallucination moment. Some of your rebuttals are off base though. There are still plenty of trade barriers currently hurting our GDP to the tune of tens of billions annually. The Canadian Free Trade Agreement ameliorated some of it, but the friction is definitely not resolved. Carney didn't just inherit these policies in a vacuum, he has been Prime Minister since early 2025 and actively chairs the government defending them. More importantly, Washington doesn't negotiate with individual personalities; it negotiates with the Canadian state. Whether an unforced error like the Digital Services Tax or billions in reactive EV subsidies was passed under Trudeau or retained under Carney, it is Carney's administration that has to defend the balance sheet and bear the retaliatory cost at the CUSMA table today.

I like to collapse the less relevant parameters to focus on the meat of the topic so that my brainpower is able to figure out the best answer and avoid inconclusive outcomes Which is why I like the debate format of conversation so each person presents their strongest point and we get to the truth faster instead of proposing a bunch of random points that make life hard to understand.

You would keep God to yourself? Greedy!

@eos_nyxia Some tests are better than others; 16 personalities is very shallow. The true ones that psychologists use are like 500 questions. Stress can skew your answers, as can answering from who you want to be rather than who you actually are. That's why looking into cognitive functions made so much sense to me. For a period of my life, I lived a more extraverted lifestyle and projected wanting to be an extrovert, but at my core, I'm an INTP to the bone in terms of how I prefer to approach life.

@Leo Gura Talk to the rest of your mod team, the behaviour today and in retrospect even in previous thread is an embarrassment for your brand. 0 value being added, 0 consciousness and as a matter of fact you're being mocked by this individual and he's sabotaging the value of this forum. I was open to talking about sex in terms of opening people's minds, share dating strategy and deconstruct the relationship that society has on the topic. This has gone far beyond anything productive, respectul and like you said mature. Boundaries are important for a reason.

Don't lump us in with you. The way you talk and @Monster Energy talk is sexual harassment and entirely inappropriate for a mixed gender forum. You can discuss dating and sex in a sophisticated or productive way. The way you go about it is very uncalibrated and offensive.

You should be, you don't seem capable of productive dating conversation without saying wildly inappropriate stuff. Calibration is one of the foundational concepts in game for a reason.

I've always viewed the hermit meditating in a cave as a valid temporary stage. But ultimately, the more complete path is taking what you've learned back into society to create tangible impact once your consciousness is elevated. Siddhartha Gautama himself comes to mind in terms of monks but even top politicians in history have followed this path like Marcus Aurelius and Nelson Mandela. Meditation is great but it looks like world war 3 is coming and massive economic insecurity through the AI transition. Are you gonna be content meditating your anxiety away or are you taking part in saving mankind? Seems like a legitimately important question over the next few years. Not really judging you either way, mostly curious how you look at it when I put it this way.

There are not that many INTPs on the forum. Even fewer INTJs, you and @Natasha Tori Maru are rare! The prevalence in the general population is 2.5% INTJs and 4% INTPs, it's maybe a bit higher on the forum but I don't think so. Intuition is actually a rare trait, 75% of the population are sensors over intuitors. Those are my functions as an INTP! I'm a huge fan of the MBTI framework. It's not foolproof but has been massively instrumental in getting me to understand my interests and natural strengths better. Taking notes with Obsidian has been a game changer for my dominant Ti trait. It's actually my favorite pastime in the world: using Ne to find patterns, write them down, and connect them to other ideas I have to create an undebatable understanding of reality. I totally get how Leo built Actualized.org now, building a career researching stuff as an independent-minded thinker is very hard but if you have a background in marketing, build up an audience and then run a blog it makes a lot of sense as a business model. I have a different life experience and career trajectory than him but we think alike. Especially as I've been getting more into game development, it helps me understand the universe better and see the divine pattern behind everything. Life is really cool in its design; it does fundamentally make a lot of sense.

You guys just gave me a great business idea. It's a social media like a forum except a lot of the users are bots by design. When the users start engaging in low value nonsense, they get shadow banned but don't know it. They talk to AI agents that coach them to have social calibration and being able to communicate productively with other humans. I think this will really revolutionize social media and start a new era of interdependence for humanity. Some people are just too low in development to communicate with the rest of the bunch. It's actually a documented effect. It's called Gresham's Law of Discourse. What should I call it?

You felt the need to advocate on another user's behalf in a way that did not make for a good point imo. I then said that to elevate the quality of a forum debate, the only way I see is to take it to a higher input form of communication which is a face to face live debate instead of back and forth posturing. I don't know why you're finding it worthwhile to argue semantics here. Flattery does not invalidate the crazy stuff that you say my friend. Being a good friend to someone means being willing to call them out when they are out of life. Do you not believe that some of what you're saying is out of line?

You deserve to get banned for weird ego flareups like this lol. You are a very unbalanced person my friend. Why are you like this? Did you grow up in harsh environment? You have stage red outbursts like every day. It's interesting to witness.

If you can't argue your position coherently then you won't be taken seriously. I don't make the rules that's how life works. Leverage always depends on effective communication. You think farmers influence the policy in their countries or they are at the mercy of people that can communicate well? Most of the positions you listed have an incredibly high burden of communication on them. Parents being one of the top ones actually. Same with a novelist, an academic, a philanthropist, a doctor and historians. I thought we were on a forum built around overcoming our limitations and building an exceptional life. Not coping on our limitations and rationalizing them away. Communicating under pressure isn't "debate bro theatrics", it's the mechanism that translates raw competence into real-world influence. Without it, your output is always mediated by someone else who possesses that skill.

Keep your limitations to yourself. If you've honestly analyzed your tendencies and the amount of effort you're willing to put into relationships and decided that it's not worth it to you fine. Or join me and see how far the rabbit hole goes. Plenty of people are pulling it off. Feel free to order this book and read it if you're interested otherwise it's all good. https://www.amazon.ca/Ethical-Slut-Third-Practical-Relationships/dp/0399579664/ref=sr_1_5

Right my unique path of having real world impact as opposed to being delusional and scared of confrontation? Of course there are many paths. But any path that seeks to create actual value in the physical world—whether in business, relationships, or community demands communication, agency, and accountability under pressure. That’s not a lifestyle choice, that’s just reality.

That's exactly my point. To bring value as a human and especially as a man: you need to produce results. A lot of people on this forum run away from this simple fact, it's been the foundation of a lot of debates I've had on here for months now. Plenty of smart people are cowards that can't pitch convincingly to a board of investors or an employer and thus they underperform in life. Real life requires effective communication under pressure, otherwise you will fall way short of your potential. It's absolutely a part of being a competent person in society. Of course I have an advantage having a public brand, that's why everyone should have one. If you value anonymous keyboard warrior forum debates instead of a face to face conversation then you've lost the plot.

@yetineti You told the board that in real life no one would have the audacity to challenge you, bragged about how easily you’d tear me apart in a live social dynamic, and the second a link and time were set, you folded. Talk is cheap on a keyboard. The invite was open; you declined. We’re done here. I diagnosed you accurately days ago. A coward who intellectualizes life and cannot measure up to accountability. No it's not an insult, you can do introspect and do better. It's quite cringe to witness though. This is one of the main problem with this forum. People that talk a lot but don't do much in life. It makes for real weird discussions because people project all kinds of nonsense.

Perfect let's do it. 8 PM EST, on Sunday, does that work for you? I'll create a Youtube stream calendar and everyone here can tune in. I've already told you I think your points are bad and I've never ran away from acknowledging any of them. I've proved it but you seem to run away from doing so. Let's prove that conclusion wrong though. Pick an exact topic, you even get to field the point as long as it's a position I hold I'm fine with it. Let’s see if that real-life energy holds up behind a live mic. Ball is in your court.

Yes I had Gemini analyze his actions in negotiation this trade war. What would you rate him /100 and based on what? I think AI is great at synthezing information and giving us a baseline to go on. We can break it down further if you disagree with Geminis conclusion.

In real life I'm pretty sure you would crumble under the pressure and then shit talk to your buddies that you clearly won the argument when you made bad points lol. I was never hypocritical, I called out @Inliytened1 for his low quality rhetoric and pointed out the meta phenomenon in the thread of people looking for easy dopamine instead of making good points and helping each other work towards their goals. If you want to debate me live, I'm down. Pick a topic that you disagree with me on and we can stream it live this weekend. I understand why it seems that way but that's intellectually dishonest. If we have a disagreement and I manage to deconstruct why your points makes no sense, that's a valid and valuable form of discourse.

There you go, that's some wisdom! This guy is a very emotional dude that starts fights, shoots off a barrage of messages that gets more incoherent as he goes on and then tries to gaslight you about it lol. I think about what I say before I say it. I thought that was common sense.
