I don't think he was correct with the view of solipcism as you being the main character hallucinating others. I think that that was him particularly in ego delusion. The truth should be that God itself is solipcistic but we are indeed little egos that walk around and exist within its dream. It's not because we sometimes have access to the greater consciousness that it's ours alone.

I like Leo's definition; something you would find interesting and valuable to do intrinsincally. Meaning that if you weren't even getting paid for it you would find it worthwhile and if you can find a way to get paid for it then you're really winning.

What causes mean a lot to you? What do you want to accomplish? You're in a great position, I would not worry about short term fluctuations. You're not very impulsive if you've truly saved 30k at 20 years old so if you have bipolar you're managing it really well. More than likely you're just a bit aimless which is perfectly normal at your age.

@Leo Gura What's your thoughts on this trip report? I've had a trip similar to this when I combined shrooms and LSD together. I came out of it but for a while I was like stuck in this reality and I knew there was no escape whether I died or not. Reading this again let me to ponder this rabbit hole. Solipsism is an interesting concept. Do you think God is indeed in agony from the loneliness or is that a silly way of looking at it?

This is a simple reaction of your subconscious to your own feelings of fear.

Can you elaborate on this? So the computer era brought about increase competition and lead to a sort of self-improvement crazy you would say? Your point on brain plasticity is interesting; I hadn't considered that. The beautiful thing is I don't really think it will matter. You just need to give people what they want, they don't necessarily have to be on the same level of development. For example to convince a bunch of stage orange people to vote for you then making the economy abundant and giving them power and freedom should be enough even if it's bundled with the stage green humanitarian values they hate. I don't know how familiar you are with the concept of singularity but it just seems to solve the game of life. It will fundamentally change our experience of the physical universe from scarcity to abundance. I don't even think @Leo Gura understands it properly. The way I see it it's basically combining the spiritual world and the physical world into one. The spiritual being formless infinity and the singularity and metaverse bringing infinity through form.

Well, the interesting question is which part of society needs to be at Stage Yellow for it's values to be reflected to the overall benefit of the public. If we get stage yellow politicians and they use this AGI then perhaps we can solve most of our problems without needing the general populace to evolve as quickly; especially because stage yellow understands the perspective of the stages below it.

Those countries at least have the advantage of relying mostly on manual work instead of anything using IT which is a chat gpt application away from being automated. Are you familiar with the concept of AGI? I think perhaps this will allow us to leapfrog from stage orange to stage yellow and above. Stage green is not powerful by itself to overcome Stage Orange's efficiency. An artificial general intelligence is basically a being that starts off straight at stage yellow due to being trained on all of humanity's data. The birth of such a being is due anytime from 2025-2030 according to current estimate. Exciting times; this gives me optimism above all else. If we're just relying on AI as a mega computer that humans exploit then that sounds like a century of atrocity to me with nation-states and mega corps waging economic and physical warfare against each other with it.

That sadistic demon would be pretty low on the spiral dynamics scale if it enjoyed causing pain to others. It wouldn't be a very powerful demon at all. I guess it's irrelevant what top values you have we're mostly interested in what values produce the greatest potential outcome.

Some people credibly predict a military dictatorship to take place over the US in the next decade and if the Donald comes through it seems plausible it would go down that way.

I don't think you understand biology as a whole if you think sex is naturally abundant. It's the whole basis for natural selection. Sex and reproduction are the only biological goals of organisms so really you could struggle for 30 years to barely survive and have sex one time to reproduce and you would be a winner according to evolution. Even today with most guys struggling sex is phenomenally abundant. I don't have stats on hand but I imagine in the Middle East it's much less abundant than we have it in the west and most periods of human history must've been similar.

I honestly used to relate to him a lot, when his case happened I was pretty much an incel at that point in my life. Crazy what a difference 10 years can make. I'd say learning game and psychedelics changed my life forever. One MDMA trip combined with spiritual knowledge could prevent most people from any tendency towards violence.

I'll say that I relate with it; especially after talking and hanging out with religious friends lately. They claim to love God and want to be as close to him as possible but the very notion of being God, seeing the world like God, using the creative power of God or thinking like God is somehow ridiculous to them? Fascinating concept. It's understandable though; I do have the same paradox. I do feel really unlimited and infinitely powerful but have a hard time grasping, understanding and accepting my own limitations.

Do your own research(like on the sex subreddit for example) but from my quick one and what GPT; it's not really that big of a deal. Mostly she should be on anti-viral medication, wear condoms, and don't have sex with her if she doesn't have an outbreak. Apparently, 1 in 6 or 45 million Americans currently have HPV2 and over 50% have HPV1.

@OldManCorcoran What exactly is he scamming people about? He does teach pickup and game. They do have some underhanded sales tactics I'll give you that from what I hear.

What do you mean?

Plenty of pornstars love their job and have positive experiences. The Holly Randall channel on Youtube is full of these stories. https://www.youtube.com/@HollyRandallUnfiltered/videos @strika You sound to me to have a lot of moral compulsions and heavy energy in how you speak; I don't think you resonate very much with this God consciousness that you speak of.

I used to envy people who would be toxic and still get results. Then I realized it's just traumatized people entertaining each other. Do you also envy drug dealers and pimps who date the hookers that they hangout with? I would say that would ruin any peace of mind and enjoyment of life you have. They are all miserable using temporary dopamine and fucking each other over. Maybe your type of woman doesn't hangout in nightclubs?

@Carl-Richard That's a good point. I think those factual mistakes will be fixed but I think the even greater fool's trap is it will remove the need to think entirely. Already AI has read every book released so you could ask it for book summaries of all the books on Leo's list for example. There is a new paradigm though where you can use it instead as a way to test your own knowledge and benefit from the hundreds of billion put into training it. Definitely will be interesting to see what type of learning opportunities will come out of it in the next decade.

Well soon enough we are going to have the greatest disparity in intelligence ever seen in history. I'd say most people are gonna rely on AI to just feed them entertainment where as some are gonna use it to sharper their intellect and become a superintelligence themselves.

Slightly off topic but could it be the case that Jesus was sleeping with Mary Magdalene? That is the one thing in history that doesn't make sense to me; if Jesus was enlightened he wouldn't really demonize sex right? It was just convenient for him to distill easy lessons for people to follow so he hammered home the points on no adultery but him getting some on the side would tie the whole thing together beautifully for me.

I mean we had the same thing in Canada, little milk cartons for lunch. I like your realization that Claude is a bit more open but there is also the good ol adage that sometimes what seems malevolent is just incompetence/ignorance.

There is definitely a big limit on how much you can achieve by being against the system; eventually, you have to merge back. What's the next step after a massive drug lord completely dominates the industry? Takes over the government? Then what; makes a country based on drug dealing? Where does he send his kids afterward; regular school or drug dealing school? I think Breaking Bad is the perfect story of the full arc of a criminal where Heinsenberg got into drug dealing to help his family then after it destroys everything he realizes it was really to fulfill his power and egotic ambitions.

I guess his punishment wasn't severe enough for him to feel the pain and need to evolve to a stage green consciousness. Fascinating how that works.
