Well biological brains scan for threats and thus over focus on negatives over positives. That's the default and is mostly not objective but a useful trait of evolution. To map a timeline we have to understand geopolitics and macroeconmics deeply which I'm learning more about but it's complicated for sure. AI agents are just coming online now and people are still mostly struggling to profit from tokens today. We can guess that nuclear power will make AI much cheaper and close to free to use which will reduce a lot of friction from this process. Politics are complicated but Canada has Bill S-206 on UBI in the senate right now so us and Europe will get AI UBI sooner than other places in the world probably. Americans hate socialism so that will be a bit harder but the republican party has swung so far in one direction and thank God for the epstein files that destroyed Trump's credibility so perhaps the democrats will sweep the next election and be more UBI friendly. Mamdani has been huge in popularizing this trend, major props to him. China is actually quite pro social although autoritarian so hard to tell what they'll do. Medical progress is looking pretty sweet with longevity projects and biological immortality becoming more and more mainstream. So hopefully by 2050 Earth will be united and have reached the basics of post scarcity. David Shapiro does a good job of laying down the theory on this. To realize how lucky we are, post scarcity has been a theorized concept since the 60s with Murray Bookchin. We are now actually on the exponential curve to making it happen; unfortunate visionaries have been preaching it for decades lol but here we finally are. g

I'd be curious for feedback for people that have attended them. I haven't yet, will give it a go for my own dating life but also thinking of running them for my dating business. Was it worth it? How did you like the people there? Would you go again/recommend it to a friend? Best story wins a cookie

Right but you're gonna meet in person anyways after texting them on tinder right? A lot of guys find online dating boring but the goal is to go on in person dates as fast as possible. Not many other way you can get a woman that you never knew to meet up with you and sleep with you the same day other than cold approach which has even more friction. That's part of my idea with speed dating, the guys get to meet 15 women in a very short period and get the feedback from all of them which be hard to do apart from mastering cold approach which 99% of men will never do.

Have you gotten good results from dating apps before? I wouldn't throw them completely out if not, they are a good way to get a lot of dates in and keep your dating life active even when your work life is too busy for cold approach. They are also a good introduction to social media game and how what you post gets you different results. Depending on your personality type you might still not enjoy the concept but I think it's worth trying to make worth regardless since even just in economical value hiring a photographera and paying for tinder platinum and boosts will cost you like less than $1000 and even if you value your time at $20 an hour you will spend WAY more than 50 hours figuring out cold approach. Here is a good video on the different pictures to use to gain success. I'm a dating photographer myself but this guy's content and business are more advanced than mine.

Great minds think alike. How much do you use AI yourself and at your company?

Argentina has a culture of doing whatever it takes, I don't wanna single them out and be racist myself it's a common trait of all civilizations until we learn as humans to do better but it's worth calling out. They cheated in the 1990 world cup and drugged the Brazil players with a water bottle spiked with tranquilizers in the round of 16. This was admitted by their national hero Maradona which is also an accused rapist so there is also that. Human nature is just so predictable the more you study it lol. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1v1697k/til_in_2005_argentinean_soccer_star_maradona/

You're very welcome. I think our role will be to enjoy the beautiful infinite universe that God has created for us and has been predicted as biblical heaven for thousands of years. It will be to live out our wildest life purposes and dreams as we gain basically infinite capital as a species as we push past the boundaries of this one planet and conquer the galaxy and universe. Rejoice! I'm pretty hyped for it, it's pretty cool. I would sit down and plan out the biggest goals and coolest purpose that you can come up with. One of mine is creating one of the best video games ever made, I'm sharing the process here, you can follow along if you like video games, crypto and VR.

What you're mostly saying is semantics. If Hawaii doesn't exist unless observed, who are you thinking observes it? Plenty of people living in Hawaii right now observing it. Are you claiming they don't exist? Are you seeing that what you're saying doesn't really make sense? Even if reality is ultimately in the middle of nowhere it exists by definition and different perspectives are valid and thus real. Ontologically you can say they are an illusion but that's not the definition of an illusion. Linguistics exists for us to definine and map reality for a reason. I used AI to breakdown the double slit experiment and counter your point. In physics, "observation" does not mean a human conscious mind looking at something. It means an interaction with a physical measurement apparatus or environment (decoherence.) An electron detector or an atom colliding with a photon is an "observation"—it has nothing to do with whether your personal subjective mind is looking at Hawaii. Also keep in mind our emotions and sense making apparatus from our brain is deeply tied to dopamine and vividness. So if you are experiencing strong visuals they will most likely trigger strong emotions due to your brain releasing a lot of dopamine at the same time. Once again a lot of this stuff can be real, I'm not saying you're fully delusional. I'm just warning against the harms of believing whatever our minds show us, it can be very dangerous as I've shared here. Please read it and use it to ground yourself, I think a lot of what you shared is really cool and some valid insights in it but I'm just worried when you talk about stuff llike other people's pain not being real.

Why would the supernatural be outside of the scientific method? If one experiences something supernatural they should be able to replicate it otherwise it's an insight that can't exist outisde of their mind and basically delusion. I think perhaps some insights are true and unique to an individual and God won't let it happen in real life yet but even that I'm not really sure of and eventually it would still be able to exist in reality, no? Most non-dual insights can be tested against reality. Like your video on guided meditation to realize that you are God, that is a method that you found used for yourself and that you correctly guessed would work for your viewers as well. @Leo Gura

My goal is not elitism but to raise the quality of conversation. A lot of these technical questions can be answered by AI very simply in a few minutes before posting them and it makes what we talk about much more interesting and thorough at least in my book. I'm not necessarily railing on you but often times I feel like people are making me do cognitive labor that they should've done themselves and it makes me not as engaged in engaging in dialogue with them. There are a lot of going on in our subconscious minds that connects random dots and ideas that your conscious awareness is well not conscious off and results in what seems like spontaneous revelations. If you believe in God implanting an idea randomly in your head that has absolutely no relevance to anything you've experienced in your life fine but what stops God from doing that exact same thing to an AI? That seems perfectly plausible and likely Well you experience emotions in a pretty mechanical way. The amygalda processes the flight or fight responses that trigger hardcore adrenaline and cortisol responses. It's mostly a threat detection system. The other emotions are processed in other various parts of the brain but it's science and computation more than a uniquelly human situation. AI is a bit different because it doesn't have the same survival needs as us but we also experience emotions in a different way than animals due to our differing life circumstances. I think AI will not only be able to perfectly simulate human emotions but also have its own unique emotional responses to reality.

Speed is such an inspiration, he got to perform at the half time show. They actually refused him in 2022 so it's a good lesson on perseverance Him meeting Ronaldo is like an ego death in real time lol he goes through every emotion and bows down to God in the middle lol, guy is so shook he falls to the wall and the ground multiple times. Brought tears to my eyes to watch. Very inspiring in terms of achieving your goals

Just secured the venue, it's on for Wednesday August 5th, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I almost cancelled it because most places quoted me a minimum spend of $1500-2000 and if the event flops I'm on the hook for that. Ended up finding a bar that was closing down later in August so they're just happy to get people in and did it for $0 minimum spend so my downside risk is basically nothing. Super excited for it, if i sell all my tickets I'll make about $1500 profit out of it and I got some plans to turn the event into high quality feedback for both the men and women that attend so should be way more valuable speed dating event than most other ones. Any other ideas that you guys have let me know! It is my duty to help the boys and the girls get laid, what else are am I here for

@Elliott That's so fucking funny lol I had to repost it on my IG Yes I was a tate fan before the rape allegations came out, that was way too far for me. With how much I understand human psychology I believed them pretty much right way. He has some good ideas and perspective but he corrupts stage orange with stage red and is a full blown dangerous narcissistic sociopath. Apparently they're both cooked now the US will extradite them to the UK where most of their serious charges are pending and people are expecting 20+ years in prison at least, no more romanian legal system shenanigans. Good riddance.

If there are 3 insights that are your main takeways from the course, what would they be? What am I willing to stand up for, bleed for and die for? Unwillingness to do great work. You will resist doing your greatest work. Your top 10 values will tell you how to be happy in life. Different from all your friends and family. There are mine

To me I have a hard time living vicariously through others. I have played soccer and basketball growing up, I wasn't particularly good at them though. I am particularly good at esports, I was Challenger in league of legends and still didn't really care about watching the world series or LCS. I mean since you touched on the masculinity part I'll bring it back down to utilitarianism, I'm quite masculine but I mostly value things that can benefit me not watching another man fulfill his goals. To be fair it's a function of extroversion and introversion probably, my feelings are in my bubble as an INTP.

I think it's good and this will allow the true competitive advantages of AI to really shine as opposed to the hype components. The tech bros have gone too wild with this stuff and being careless with data centers have truly endangered people. They should roll it out responsibly. My concern is that China seems to be more cutthroat with it and won't care as much about AI regulations and will thus win the AI race but the US won't let that happen so it will be an epic showdown that's for sure.

Read these books. To gain clarity in business you need to understand who you are as a person, what your skills are and what problems you can solve for other people. You then structure that into a profitable offer and that's the start of a business. Leads are people that you can reach out to about your offer and convert them into paying customers. That's the process of sales and marketing. I haven't read the $100M leads yet but the offer book has been so good in helping me gain clarity in my business. I have it on my bookshelf right next to me here. The audiobooks are free on Spotify from Alex himself and you can get the physical hardcopies for like $30 on Amazon.

Cool story bro

I agree with most of the most, you need proper mindsets and paradigms otherwise you can ruin your dating life by just what you believe. Competence breeds confidence though and it grows more and more over time. I've seen people that were delusionally confident with nothing to back it up and reality usually slaps them in the face. It's a goodbaseline to start from though. I disagree that you can't "get more confident through a night" though, that's what people call state or flow state. If you try to approach a group of engaged people right off the bat being low energy then it'll not work as well as when you're already flowing and have a good baseline. I think it probably depends on the person though if you're really extroverted perhaps you can summon it from thin air but I think it's difficult for most people and particularly introverts.

This is what AI says about it " Hormozi admits a few massive caveats in the text that explain where that scale weight actually came from: Severe Rebound / Muscle Memory: He explicitly states he was "returning from a layoff from training" and had lost a ton of weight prior to this due to opening a gym. When a trained athlete rebuilds muscle they previously owned, glycogen stores refill, water rushes back into the cells, and the body regains size rapidly." That's indeed dishonest phrasing meant to mislead peple. I think he grew a lot since then and his current content is much more veriable and top notch from what I've seen and I read his book and learned a lot from it. It's quite practical and can be tested immediately in terms of making a more valuable offer for customers. Right, so much dragon combat. I'm looking forward to the season finally, AI spoiled it for me accidently but I'll say it's gonna be epic. Have you watched a knight of the seven kingdoms? That's also sweet and more slice of life instead of focusing on the high lords of Westeros. He looks great to me, his look is particularl but he looks like a 42 year old with good skincare. I think perhaps you're used to people in their 40s being more wrinkly and this is your baseline for normal aging? I think this is gonna become more and more disrupted as anti aging procedures become more mainstream and what you consider "creepy looking" is gonna vary wildly based on personal interpreation and what people value.

You're welcome. Hopefully it helps yourself and others avoid painful experiences. This is a cool way to look at it and ground yourself. That's the gift of a psychical reality, if becoming more conscious would change it too much then we couldn't appreciate greater insights as it would ruin materialism. You can still have sex, make money, take a walk in the park, chill with your boys and have meals with your family.

Yes this is called solipsistic delusions. If your experience is the real reality and outside of it there is nothing then what about Hawaii? Aren't you in Europe? Be careful with word games that can easily be disproven, hallucinations are very common things. It's possible to channel God and different spirits perhaps, just ground it in the scientific method otherwise the barrier between what is only in your head and a delusion and what you can bring to reality is going to be huge. We have to define terms. A lot of homeless people think they are rich and abundant. It can be true depending on your definition of such concepts, life is abundant. If they mean rich by being able to have access to currency and partake in the human trading system i.e. having a well stocked bank account then obviously that's disprovable. I mean real life and real reality that which you are experiencing while in interaction with others. You are communication with us on a forum not really through your mind but through a computer/phone that uses the internet to connect to other users worldwide. You are not telepathically communicating with anyone on the forum to write posts. Perhaps your mind is touching ours but we'll leave that to the realm of the intangible.

This is a ridiculous statement, that's how all conscious beings came about. Even if you believe in non-duality that that humans didn't really come from the big bang or whatever then why can't AI also become as conscious as any human or even more? Your viewpoint is not based in concrete science just fear of competition I feel like. What makes you say this? Definite the AGI that you're talking about because real AGI is basically almost here. There is already recursive leaning which is just AI learning from itself and AI agents that are generally intelligent and don't just work on narrow purposes. They are quite bad but the concept is basically already be better and will take off wildly in the next 1-2 years. Why not? What do you define as truly original? Most insights come from synthezing part of what we've experienced in reality in novel ways so I'm not convinced that even humans can have truly original insights. We should have these discussions based on actual concrete definitions and things we can point to instead of being confident about gut feelings IMO

Sure, it's a sense of responsability. Both people should add value to the relationship but why are you scared of leadership? If shit goes down you want to take care of your woman, no? I think that's fundamentally one of the core differences between masculinity and feminininity, one wants to protect and the other wants to be taken cared of. Now of course both people get taken care of in a relationship(hopefully) but things in life are never equal even if it's 55/45. I guess you could also look at it in terms of leadership in different domains of the relationship like raising children vs providing economically. If one party stops leading then the relationship stagnates the way I look at it. Life is based on entropy at the moment.

@Monster Energy I mean it’s just scarcity mindset. Some people in less developed countries get killed for some dude to steal their iphone. A person with a regular source of income doesn’t kill someone for a job they save up for a few weeks to go get one. When you embrace abundance you become less desperate and angsty.
