@Leo Gura In his interview against Destiny he was a good actor and came in with an open mind even though he hates leftists and what they represent. I think if you come up with simple epistemic questions and enigmas for him; he'll bite and you could lead him towards an epiphany. Stuff like what could life be except the mind of God, what are we if not little partitions of the God mind, etc. He's also passionate about good vs evil so if you have cool questions for him about the nature of Evil and how it's just selfishness I think he'll bite and be able to understand it. What I learned about your type of concept is long philosophical theories and arguments only appeal to a small subset of people. If you make a point that is more than 30 seconds they get defensive or bored. If you get down to the crux of the issue with clever simple questions then even low-consciousness people can get engaged in the topic. He also likes biblical stories so you could relate the story of adam and eve and the tree of knowledge to psychedelics and non-duality and I bet he'd be very interested in that.

I would post it on Reddit and take the main points of it and post it as youtube shorts and reels.

Trying to make big sums of money without adding value to the world through getting high and cheating universal consciousness sounds like a recipe for a waste of time at best and probably psychosis/demonic influences/delusions.

My rationale is you won't make life-changing amounts of money from Bitcoin now. Even if it starts hitting 100k then 150k, that's still not even 3x your investment. Altcoins are more risky but if you have the time to study and find the projects that make a lot of sense and are under valued then you have realistic chances of getting some 10-50x returns. Have to do A LOT of research and gain deep understanding of how these things work though. I guess his premise is that the current fiat system is unsustainable and the debt will keep rising until the economics of the countries literally collapse. I don't have enough knowledge of economics to confirm or deny this but it does seem that irresponsible corrupt politicians playing with money that can be printed out of thin air and waging economic and conventional/ economic warfare against each other could lead to something like that.

Trump has been endorsing Bitcoin heavily lately and talking about making a strategic national reserve This here being the basic rationale behind it Seems like a good time to get into especially alt coins as generally the market will probably trend upwards with this endorsement and overall strategy.

I wouldn't worry about stuff like this, just leads to hedonism and lack of happiness. Understand the basic principles, work on yourself and then go out and meet women and you'll be able to pretty easily get a relationship.

Basically, people get psychosis from that and then go off the wall. It's happened to me once but interestingly enough from just concentrated weed oil and not from the many times I've done psychedelics. I've went psychotic for a couple weeks and basically lost all touch with reality throughout that time, like being in a dream but in real life. I'm surprised it doesn't happen to more people, very interesting but dangerous experience.

Not true at all. You can see in states like Venezuela or I mean Russia/China/North Korea/Iran, etc the true meaning of what happens when you can't vote. Democracy is a hard thing and group consensus is basically impossible but our voices are heard and have impact in western democracies.

@bambi Why do you associate them with degradation, abuse, and shame? Is that not sexual shaming? I've done a gangbang before and I do agree it feels weird but I'd say most times the women seem to be enjoying themselves a lot. Same as in porn. I'd say the most rational way to explain the negativity of it is hedonism and distraction from purpose. Same as casual sex and porn in general.

My devil's advocate argument is that these countries that you've listed Denmark, Norway and Belgium are pretty insignificant in terms of economic power and will lose to more ruthless economies like US/China when it comes to innovation and inevitably warfare. I studied socialism for a bit and they're heavily in favour of a global strike and it seems cool in a utopian world but realistically the world is controlled by the most ruthless and efficient people so they'll just starve/torture us until we get back to work.

@Leo Gura Maybe short term but medium and long term I don't see how else we fix these issues. It's basically impossible to arrive at objective truth without it so most arguments are solved by group think. At least with AI we'll be able to objectively say "according to all the data ever recorded on X subject, the truth is Y." You might've seen Destiny's argument that says that to outdebate conspiracy theorists he has to do dozens of hours of research whereas they just have to spout out some nonsense. AI will help bring facts in a matter of seconds so corrupt people can't make up stuff to fulfill their agenda.

What would make you think that DPs and gangbangs are less spiritual than anything else?

Would love it! Please make it happen if it's at all possible. Another cool convo could be you and Michael Sartain. Different type of content but he's a smart guy who lives in Vegas so would be an interesting convo.

I'm having a similar experience with the media/marketing business I've been doing for the past few years. Been mostly doing it as a freelance photographer then got a contract doing social media marketing and was thinking about turning into a media company. The amount of work is nightmarish indeed and my motivation has took a massive hit. I don't have advice just reliability. For me it's really purifying my intentions and goals because there was a part of me that was doing it not out of purpose but out of wanting the fame/power/money and it's just not worth it for such shallow ends. I'm having to really sit down and figure out who I am and what do I want out of the next 10 years of my life. I think it is indeed possible to build something enormous and civilization-changing like Musk and Bezos have done but you really have to put 150% in it and believe in it otherwise it's a fools errand. Big props to these guys because you cannot do it out of greed as the people who have never tried to build a business are accusing them of. I'll say good luck brother and if your partners are leeching your value while not providing much I would find a way to kick them out if at all possible. Going down this journey with bad partners turns a nightmare into pure hell.

I would say start posting stuff and see how you like it. I've been posting content of various kind for 10 years and I sort of like it sort of not. The image of being a famous Youtuber I had in mind proved to be less inspiring than I thought. It's a lot of consistent work and I'm an INTP that doesn't necessarily value other people agreeing with my thoughts so I don't find posting them very rewarding. Also an interesting time to get into content production with AI-generated content making it easier and more competitive than ever. Only way to know how you'll fare is trying though. Ideas are only as good as execution.

@Leo Gura I would love to see a blog post/video on how you think the world will move on from the current psychopathy that it is under. It seems to be that the intelligence agencies are the peak orange of ruthless efficiency when it comes to maintaining the status quo. Either you're a cog in the machine, or you're particularly competent/ruthless and you rise at the top of the machine or you manage to survive on the fringes of the system. There must be another way. My best hope is something to do with AGI saving us otherwise it looks like it will be getting worse and not better in the coming decades.

@Bobby_2021 Even from a spiritual context it would make sense that you're right. What is the whole point of humanity self-actualizing if some AGI just comes in and solves all our problems? Unless it somehow serves as a mechanism for spiritual and character growth, it's just gonna end up in a large % of the population living in a VR porn metaverse.

I've listening to a lot of him lately. He helps me cover my stage blue shadow that I was too arrogant to work through before. Responsibility to your society and lack of hedonism basically.

@Ero Isn't the whole problem that it needs this much compute because it doesn't actually think on it's own and just predicts outputs from inputs? You would think that they need to find a way to reverse engineer the human thinking process and apply it to these models as well.

I've had a lot of those as well. They don't really make sense from a physical/materialistic point of view but if you look at the world as a nondual consciousness then it makes a lot of sense. Kind of getting it vs actually being able to understand how perception literally changes your universe/the universe is too much for me though so I mainly focus on my human journey and my general process of shedding my ego (:

@Evelyna Absolutely! It will surely lead to the end of competition itself as human skill difference will pale in comparison to what these algorithms will be able to produce for us.

One of the most exciting applications of AI is sorting through massive amounts of data in minutes instead of lifetimes. Humans have first started to organize our knowledge with books then with hard drives and the internet we've managed to basically digitize everything that we know. But as I'm sure you guys have found as well; it still basically leads us to endless arguments with most times the only conclusion being a satisfying opinion. OpenAI has started doing it with ChatGPT having read every book on Earth and potentially also every scientific paper. What new door does this open for us in the near future? What are you guys most excited about with this? If you believe that the universe is indeed infinite then we now have increased our ability to research it well pretty much infinitely.

What you're saying is not true though and specifically because of open source models like Llama 3.1. Everyone and their moms are working on startups and applications with these AI models and they will soon start having commercial viability. I was just at the Toronto tech fest and one company was working on AI video generation with a built in avatar just based on text. So you put like I want a video of a woman with brown hair explaining the difference between bitcoin and ethereum while she walks in a park near a river and it'll generate it for you. That's one startup in video generation and there's also Sora that's coming out soon with customizable generated video. I also recently got a call from a fully automated AI sales rep so that'll start coming out soon. Even if we've reached the current peak of the hard performance that these models have reached, the actual apps that these will produce are just about to come out. If we think generally the only two apps that we have so far for AI is ChatGPT and image generation. I'm personally really looking forward to full on AI personal assistant/life coach type thing that will make life easier to manage.

I watch a girl who makes vlogs about her depression and she came up with this video What she talks about and what she saw through some unamed psychedelic mirrors Gnosticism which is basically that the physical realm is created by a malevolent God to trap souls in materialism and torture/punish them. I don't necessarily believe it but it does seem that for a reality to be managed by a benevolent loving God, it is unnecessarily painful. I've spent the last 10+ years self-actualizing and I live in Canada which is like one of the mildest countries on earth and my life is still mostly unpleasant, painful, and depressing. Let's not even talk about the country and people who experience almost comical levels of brutality and torture. We're literally built with a dopamine system that makes holding on to satisfaction like holding sand, where the most fun things are distraction and procrastination from your duty(punishment?) and where just doing something that you're good at and having good friends and romance seem to elude a significant portion of us. All for what some fleeting contentment? Idk about you guys but when I dream it is mostly a pleasant experience that I'm always disappointed I can't go back to when I wake up. Being a fragile meat machine in a scarce world that mostly revolves around tragedy and disappointment is not a good time. I could see it being divine punishment.

Dm me if you want, I have a pretty big social circle in Toronto. Here is the birthplace of pickup, it’s where Mystery and Owen Cook are from. Pretty ruthless dating scene but it’ll teach you a lot. Great but hard place to cold approach. Great place to socialize and network though and you’ll be able to meet whatever kind of people you’re looking for to accomplish your goals.
