I'm very excited to start my polyamorous marriage to multiple women, I think it'll have ever more benefits than a regular marriage and less of the downsides.

Don't know what you mean by this, it's the complete opposite in my experience. If you're an incompetent man you will only be used as an emotional tampon by women and random gossip whereas if you're a competent one they'll lead on you for support and leadership. It's not being used as a tool it's actually being respected and followed.

If I were you I would take 5-10 hours to study the Quran and Hadith so you understand more than most of your family which are probably not islamic scholars and then just talk from a place of authority not a place of seeking validation. Most religions offer deep truth on spirituality and you could probably study Islam for 1000 hours before you ran out of useful spiritual content that lies outside of even the nondual material that we study here. Don't tell them about buddism like you're forcing them to accept your rebellion, just say you're exploring spirituality and quote them something about the Quran like the prophet went on a wisdom quest as well and I don't see how this familial conflict would keep escalating.

Who am I? It's a lifelong quest that's making me interact with the universe in various ways to determine which other parts of the universe I relate with and what do I ultimately identify with.

Going out to pull is mostly a waste of time. If you picture your dream lifestyle is slightly better charisma what's gonna get you there? I spent most of my 20s cold approaching regularly and I'm glad I got that skillset but social media and social circle game are making all the difference now.

@Schizophonia It is interesting to study the excess of the human psyche when placed in positions of extreme abundance.

@Elliott That's what communication is though. That's cool that new ideas can improve social media further, I think the more decentralized it gets and less profit motive it'll become a public utility like electricity.

I agree a video specifically on AI would be cool. It is a new form of intelligence and consciousness and definitely worth exploring for a few hours. The new potential for reality are insane.

The world will become and more monitored in the next few years. Which will eventually lead into accountability going up and crime ceasing to exist in the next 20. years. I think it's a good thing overall but will have some awkward hiccups here and there.

No social media is too powerful of a tool. It's just human communication at scale. If you communication with your species destroys your life you have a lot of self-awareness work to do.

Good, it's important for people to be interested in politics and civic duty. Dan Bilzerin has been very politically vocal since the start of the October 2023 attack, he's definitely against Israel.

Cool looking forward to it. Still finishing up the truth video, almost done then will progress forward.

@zazen I think its wise to be skeptical of utopic scenarios but I believe it will play out like so. If you had asked most people throughout human history whether after the black plague or before the invention of nation states or during the great wars of antiquity of global trade alliance of all countries is possible like we have today they've would've called you crazy. The problems of scarcity that hold us in competition and at war with eachother are not supreme. @NewKidOnTheBlock Of course there would be. The 5 infinity scenarios I've laid out don't even need AGI to happen, just advanced efficient AI tools that are wielded by humanity the right way. I think countries will seize to exist very shortly at least in their current forms. They are bastions of the past built up through arbitrary borders and representative democracy. Tell me when every human on earth can vote as part of a global government in 5 mins verifiably from their phone how will most of the states today that operate through state coercion still stand? It's hard to picture but American democracy today was started with representatives that had to ride on horses for 2 weeks to go to the parliament which was originally in Philadelphia. It's a really outdated system prompt for abuse that will soon be rendered obsolete.

"There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen" - Vladimir Lenin I've been thinking and researching about this concept for a while without being able to articulate it but this concept came to me recently. I believe there are 5 infinities coming to humanity in the next decades as long as we don't blow up eachother beforehand. 1) Infinity of money The most fun one. Although AI has not yet fulfilled it's financial promise there are already plenty of intitutions working on financial agents that will basically solve the concept of money through financial markets and even sales agents and eventually physical robots that fulfill labor jobs and end up providing the basis of the economy. For those of you that will now say that this will lead to a dystopian future, I don't believe so. That's one of the outcomes but you could say that outcome lacks alignment in terms of game theory and if someone made a smart contract that owned financial AI agents and automatically redistributed funds accross 8 billion unique wallets for each human that would be the most financially sound business model possible and would end up beating out other use cases for financial agents that other companies are gonna sell and pitch for your investments. Proof of personhood is a concept in crypto being worked on right now to create unique wallets for each human so that bots can't overun the internet basically and human identities are protected across the web. No longer will anyone on earth be a non identifiable data point. Here are the AI for business projects being worked on right now, this one covers project vend by Anthropic that was tried a few months ago They're not very successful so far but you can imagine that as they work on iteration the ones a year from now let alone 5 and 10 years will be pretty insane and completely overhaul the fabric of our current global economic system. There are mainly scenarios that turn out dystopian and oligarchal but I believe in the game theory that favors populism and the end of class divide and the enforcement of unalienable human rights through blockchain. 2 ) Infinity of Energy One of the biggest crisis facing humanity is climate change through the use of fossil fuels. There are massive advancements made in terms of renewable energy which the biggest of which being nuclear energy and the ever illusive nuclear fusion. There are major breakthroughs happening every few years in that regard and commercial fusion is predicted to come on the market as early as 2030. Companies like Helion Energy are planning to release their first pilot in 2028. More bearish estimates have this revolution coming closer towards 2035-2050 and that's possible especially with the current blugening of the US scientific apparatus and the cooling of US and china collaboration but the good news is that this is practically possible and is mostly held back not by technological limitations no longer but moreso by geopolitical realities of our current era. For those not familiar with fusion power it's basically in a nutshell infinite free green energy on the scale that humanity has never seen before. 3) Infinity of life This might be the most drastic but there are also multiple world class institutions currently working on and making good advances on ending aging and even reversing it. One of which being Harvard school of medicine through the lab of Dr. David Sinclair as well as Altos Labs and multiple other labs. 4) Infinity of physical space The first human is predicted to land on Mars in the 2030s or early 2040s and although it might not be exactly a luxury vacation at the present moment if you choose to accept or at least temporary imagine the premise that humans are soon to be biologically immortal the we can easily make the case that humanity will surely spread throughout the Solar system and soon enough universe. There are 2 trillions in the observable universe and many times more than that overall so you can easily say the case that God made the universe to be completely infinite and humanity will be gifted the opportunity to explore it once we make peace on earth and get our technology beyond light year travel. 5) Infinity of virtual space The most easily imaginable and in a way already is the case today but I think you can easily picture it once you think of virtual reality and augmented reality fully taking hold in our society. Pokemon Go was a basic example of what an augmented reality phenomenon will look like and billions of dollars have been put in virtual reality each year for over a decade now and the most recent versions are starting to become something aching to infinity virtual worlds. The main current limitation is the bulky and uncomfortable headset but if you've read thus far and started thinking about the other technologies I've mentioned then pratical VR shouldn't be too crazy for you to imagine. It will soon come in the form of quite comfortable VR headsets that are closer to the AR glasses currently on the market and eventually will become pretty seemless through contact lenses and eventually full on brain-computer interfaces and full 5 senses(and new senses?) immersion. I think many people here will have objections here but I wanna at least start the discussion off in terms of timelines and possibility. So people tend to overestimate progress in the short term and underestimate it in the long term. It was not that long that if you told someone about humans flying through the sky through metal tubes all over the world you would've been called stupid and crazy. I'm not a fan of the current wave of doomerism spreading on the internet and in our society as I'm a firm believer that the future is looking quite optimistic as long as we solve the very real serious problems that are facing humanity. We humans are incredibly powerful and soon will perhaps be infinitely powerful as long as we unite and reach towards these 5 infinites and beyond.

It'll eventually become the norm but I wouldn't call it an extremely pressing concern. China vs taiwan, global warming, cost of living crisis, fall of democracy in the states are extremely pressing concerns. Animals have been used for sustenance for hundreds of thousands of years they can bear it for a few more decades.

Leo is great I love him a lot

You get one policy to pass as the King or Queen of this hypothetical world government, what would it be and why?

@Wisebaxter I noticed that I dislike when people are rude to me when they feel bad it feels unjust and like they're dumping their negativity on me. Logically it's not a cool thing to do. I used to do it to people but rationalize it as well I'm being rude but at least I'm right. There's a duality that Leo talked about where you're either in the fear polarity or the love polarity and I notice when I feel the need to logic someone to death it's usually out of insecurity or anger as opposed to actually wanting to have a good conversation or meaning well for the person so I keep catching myself. It's usually more obvious when I do it to friends and family because I feel bad whereas random people I don't mind dominating to prove a point as much but I'm starting to be more empathetic even to internet strangers.

@Hojo Interesting one, why do you think that would make for better governance? Remove other incentives? @UnbornTao Sounds like universally applied rule of law to me. @Ramasta9 Classic but good one for balance.

What's perhaps more interesting is discussing the psychology of these people that are plenty powerful and have access to sexual opportunities with adults but choose to engage with minors and/or conduct sexual assault and impose themselves on unwilling participants. A lot of the accusations especially regarding Trump are along those lines like the accusations from E. Jean Carroll and others.

Do you want to flesh out your identity further or are you content with your current life? I'm a big believer that through AI ubi humanity will be freed from the shackles of labor something between 2035-2050. Some people will use that to make their lives even more complicated and get a brain chip and explore the universe and virtual verse and become super intelligences themselves, this path appeals to me personally. Some others will be able to slow down and go deeper in their relationship with their family, community, hobbies, etc and that seems to be the path that appeals to you more. @Hojo I would define a normie as someone who doesn't really think too deeply about life and were society is headed they're more simple minded. Visionaries on the other hand take great effort to imagine and bring forth this positive future for humanity. I'm very humbled at the visionary forefathers that have helped shaped the pleasant parts of our reality today.

It's true. If you come at it from a nondual angle then anything you want in life you can get by just getting better at cooperating with the rest of reality and that's mostly done through communication. I'm working on nonviolent communication as my next big communication skill. As an INTP I tend to be overly logical and use it as a weapon against people that disagree with me or just have a different perspective and I don't like that in myself and others. It shows up even here on this forum and I apologize to people if I've been rude to you in the past. It serves as to highlight my insecurities usually and my lack of communication skills if anything.

@UnbornTao Absolutely untrue and this is a huge stage green shadow IMO. Poverty is not a virtue. Nor is weakness nor lack of competence. If you agree on my premise that wealth is made by providing scalable solutions to people's problems then of course you can do that in a conscious or unconscious way but glorifying piety is a massive spiritual trap. How can you sell to me that you being unable to help your fellow humans is you having an unusually high level of consciousness? Laughable concept. Tony Robins talks a lot about this concept where poor people use their lack of success as virtue signaling but usually is a shadow that hides if anything lower levels of development.

@TruthFreedom That makes much more sense. Wanting a simpler way of life I would call you a traditionalist more than a doomer. Doomers believe civilization is going to hell and refuse to do anything to help that just complain all day.

What are the main points and what do you think about them?
