We must find win-win solutions for the massive economic inequality problems of humanity . Feel good, stick it to the man solutions are not helpful and definitely detrimental to our cause. Rich people are people too and they have feelings and antagonism is not productive. I do not think that redistributing assets is a feasible idea but collective ownership of productive assets makes a lot of sense(shoutout to comrade Marx.) The cornerstone of our economy relies on manual labor. Food production, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, energy extraction, etc. It's seeming more anad more like over the next 10-15 years all that will be able to be mostly automated through robotics and AI software. The common view of this is that the rich will own it and the working class will be screwed. We are at a crossroad of humanity where it's actually possible for the ownership of these systems to be decentralized and be turned into a public utility. The effects of that would be complete transformation of our economic system. This wouldn't be the same as taxing the rich more like giving people a way to build up their assets slowly overtime without having to wage this classwarfare that the communists are such a fan of and I believe is impossible. A simple end solution would be eventually we'll end up with a let's say $3000 USD/monthly UBI(adjusted for inflation permanently) and no need to work while those that choose to can still accumulate more wealth and a much greater income than that $3K. That seems to me like a win-win solution that lets both the rich and the poor collaborate towards an unlimited future for humanity. Posted this on the anti work subreddit, this my take on figuring out a utopic future for humanity. Curious to hear thoughts. This and Leo's post on Elites here: https://actualized.org/insights/leftist-populist-misunderstanding Gary comes to the conclusion that the elites are the problem and we must tax them to make things equal. I believe this is impossible because the elites are made up of the smartest, most ruthless and most competent members of any societies and they fundamentally cannot be opposed. We must change the overall system to make win-win solutions otherwise the bottom 99% will always get crushed. I was a professional League of Legends player top 0.01% and the idea that an average player could beat me was ridiculous. Same thing applies to financial and business elites, some people spend 14 hours a day working on becoming more powerful. The working class cannot opposed them and must join forces with them. Curious on your thoughts @Leo Gura, I think this idea is one of the only ones that make sense that I've seen.

Why do as a man your problems come from another man? I'd say it comes 80% from victim mindset.

I really don't understand what's going on with their Romanian case, seemed to me like there was plenty of evidence and there was judicial pressure on the Romanian authorities to not take it easy on them. Perhaps they are really rich enough to influence it in their favour or they're less guilty than they seem, those are the only 2 logical scenarios that make sense to me.

I don't think we have to take away their trillions of wealth; as a matter of fact I think that's impossible and would lead to the Civil War(2024) movie. I think we have to create new wealth with these AI agents and have that wealth allocated in a more effective way than the current wealth is. The rich don't benefit from LA and San Francisco starting to ressemble Fallout more and more. They want beautiful nice cities in which they have a competitive advantage. We can make selfishness work to our collective advantage. The only other alternative I see is AI becoming AGI and forcibly redistributing the wealth if it finds it necessary to do so.

It has to be win win I think, just like game. Perhaps it starts off with a DAO that owns these factories and redistributes the profits probably moreso to the executives and people running it but still owned by everyone so we're all going up together. The more I get into business I think you're right that most people don't have the guts or psychology for it and won't succeed but no reason it has to be billionaires or starving masses, just have to all benefit from the pie and eat from it and someone people can have more to eat if they like working all day.

Are you saying Bitcoin is a shitcoin or you mean altcoins?

I'm a pretty good looking guy but I'm an INTP without that much extraversion so I don't do well in night game and mostly pull through online dating. You gotta find what works for you and try everything in the meanwhile. I'm also pretty good at systems thinking so social circle game works wonders for me but the escalation part is a bit hard.

It makes me less depressed and more content with life and come up with great ideas. It's also a psychedelic so I get nondual experiences from it at times. I believe it can do great things but also can be used wrong, gotta be self-aware enough to know the difference. Doing a 75 day no vice challenge though so curious what it'll be like afterwards.

Bro you're overthinking it and have been mislead. Full confidence is just the absence of fear and anxiety, it can even be called presence. Some crackheads have full self confidence. You can achieve it in the next 5 minutes. Maintaining it throughout hardship is of course a different beast altogether. What would this full self confidence allow you to do? I would focus on that.

I like his point that your life should be so epic that you can sit down and be moved to tears just thinking about your life. Regular marriage is garbage imo, it's an institution meant to stabilize society and unite two struggling peasants together and help them reproduce. I like the idea of having an anime harem and taking on world changing missions with my (positive) sex cult.

Then you're already lost and clueless if some random notes on a computer define your life. I would seriously meditate and contemplate on the weakness your life is based on. I think you're speaking in hyperbole but you're an infinite being. Stop saying such weak nonsense it's insulting to yourself.

Why do you want to get married? To settledown and have a family? What does involving the government in a legally binding agreement make sense for you? I love the idea of commitment and long term relationships but legal marriage is insanity to me. I will offer my wives a private marriage and pay for the whole ceremony and have the family so they have their special day but their commitment is with me not to some random bureaucrats. I understand there are reasons why it was done like usually relationships end in feud and child support/alimony helps preserve stability in society but I still think exporting that responsibility to the system is a strange solution.

I do think that AI will help humanity reach a peak form of intimacy and sexuality. We've been in the dark ages of that for far too long.

You should never say things like this as it violates the principles of abundance and infinity. I have 21 000 pages of notes and I would be if I lost them but it's ultimately irrelevant. I have backups saved on various devices.

Green cannot lead anything as it's just an ineffective bubble of pain and empathy. Once it integrates Orange it becomes Yellow as it understands why the system is the way it is and doesn't react emotionally to it; just works to fix it. Post-truth just sounds like a libertarian copout to me which is just peak stage orange with some random stage red thrown in it like Trump seems to like. Might makes right!

Dictatorships always fail as their need for control is unnatural. We are about to enter the greatest free age of humanity imaginable. Perhaps there is a period of dictatorship before that but I'm not even sure of that. Decentralized ownership of AI labor will free mankind forever.

And are you gonna be the one leading civilization to greater unity and prosperity? Or are you a coward that wants some other form of violent oppression to control the people and use religious text as a justification?

I mean I think it's kind of legendary what's he's doing. He's literally waging a war on culture. He's not hurting anyone just basically attacking every taboo that's imaginable. I don't think he's doing it for simple attention otherwise putting himself in physical danger and getting millions of people to hate him would be too far and not make sense. He's going to war with our zeitgest. I don't know what made him snap but I believe his fight with the system around his divorce with Kim and his kids clearly rubbed him the wrong way. He's clearly not a Nazi. Nazis have a specific ideology of racial purity and violent nationalism. He's using their symbol to attack culture.

That's a recipe for bankruptcy. You want to short the industry that's about to figure out infinite labor? lol

The anti elon musk bias on this forum is pretty disgusting. Your criticisms are not unwarranted but let's not forget he's basically objectively the best businessman of all time. I don't see his companies collapsing from his drug use and if I had to bet money on it(which I probably will) his companies will be doing better than ever 5 years from now.

Put it all on black and hope for the best and if you lose it all don't worry you're the universe it's all good. In all seriousness probably start a business with a few thousands(you don't need much to get a proof of concept) and invest the rest in a mix of Bitcoin and US tech stocks.

Big things are headed to the US(and thus the global) financial system. I think no matter who you are it's important to keep track of what's going on with Crypto as this technology is gonna fundamentally change the paradigm of our whole financial system. It's not a magic pill and I still have many questions as to what this means but let's discuss. If anybody has a degree in economics and can understand these things on a deeper level than me please do share your input. Basically the USD will now be integrated with stable coins and the biggest american banks and regulation agencies are currently working on this new era of finance. Exciting times.

Because the rich don't fight against the poor. They just fight for themselves. Selfishness and antagonism are two different things. And more efficient systems of finance just make everyone richer. Swift and other methods of global settlements are bad for all parties involved. They have no incentive to keep people in Africa poor if it doesn't affect their bottom line. Which in a system with scarce resources it does. In a blockchain and AI system though it wouldn't have to.

Eat whatever you want and if somebody tries to control your behaviour with no logical reason then be extremely skeptical of them? I think most major religions will fall in the next 20 years with AI debunking them and it being able to predict the future and unearth the past just like the day of judgement foretold.

I would hope that anyone looking to self actualize thinks it's a good idea to learn about the universal medium of energy exchange(money) that rules our society and would be interested in the fact that's it's about to be completely overhauled. Did you watch the video? It's a bit more nuanced than that. The USD is fighting against the Chinese yuan and perhaps this can lead to a win-win for people. Having a global USD accessible by all countries would make earth a much fairer place. Working in a weak currency is death sentence for economic value. Most countries you can't work for minimum wage and have a good standard of living.
