Also synthesis in and of itself is a proof of intelligence. Plenty of people have a lot of knowledge but can't summarize it because they don't have the systems thinking and foundational understanding of the matter to summarize it. The fact that most AI platforms can already synthesize the sum of human knowledge in any way you want is already an insane level of intelligence. Try to ask the average person to summarize the economy or the government and they'll either admit they have no idea how it works or say some drawn out nonsense that doesn't make much sense. @Leo Gura your points are clearly biased and lacking a lot of nuance. Most of these models are extremely precise at solving most kinds of queries you give it. It's already better at analysis than 99.9% of people and it does it 5000% faster than any genius alive could.

It is a discussion worth having but let's take one step back and admit though that social media gets a lot of undeserved hate. The glue is simply entropy, the rent, capitalism or survival my guy. Let's not fall into this superstitious mindset that because Zuckerberg owns it now its a lightning rod for everything evil in the universe. There are plenty of people selling nonsense on there but that's just like real life. If anything it is just extremely efficient at letting us experience society as a microcosm that can fit in your pocket. I think it gets scapegoated for a lot of the problems of society BECAUSE it's such a great product and so efficient at what it does. Instagram is basically a digital mall or shopping district. If you don't want to go to the mall that's fine. When we start to call the mall the epitome of what's bad about society I think we've gone off the deep end a bit here. You can't even really call it anti-social since as I've said you can definitely use it to join and build communities and attend events. Also plenty of meditation, healthy foods, travel and spa centres type of pages. Now let's go back to my point that I do agree it's fair to want/need a detox once in a while from social media but once again that can be said for society as a whole. I think that having a negative relationship with social media comes mainly from our own psyche and the paradigms we operate under such as consumer vs producer, victim mindset vs growth mindset, etc. If we utilize it like a marketing channel like any other and learn to avoid the pitfalls that our individual psyches fall into with it then the pros far outweigh the cons IMO.

Are foxes also perpetuating this spiritual war by eating rabbits or are we the only ones held to this invisible plane standard? I think veganism is a good goal but his explanation is not that great. I do feel bad when I kill any beings though even bugs. I was vegan for a couple of months but it was too hard to maintain. Perhaps I'll go back to it one day.

Slightly disagree on that one. Most friendships are based on hanging out with no clear goal in mind. If we compare it to game the difference between a social circle and a friend group is a social circle is built on generating value for the people involved and not simply emotional ties. I don't know Deepak that well yet but we are generating value for each other by creating an environment of mutual accountability and execution. I don't mind being friends on top but we have to have the value in mind otherwise I am wasting my time. A lot of my friends get uncomfortable when I talk too much about business even though we are clearly not doing that well financially. They seem to have a different way of handling that fact than I do. Some of them are full on victim mode and not doing much about it so I occasionally hang out with them but we are on different life paths.

These are good questions. Good place to start is separating intrinsic value from social value. The average Rolex is worth $14,000 USD. It's pretty useless as an item and is way worse than an Iphone but is 10x the price. Water and Oxygen are the substances with the most utility on earth but have no real tradable value. As a general rule, human beings assign astronomical value to three things: scarcity, social proof, and liquidity. Pokemon cards aren't valuable because cardboard is expensive or they have real world utility. They're valuable because they are a tradable product valued by tens of millions of people on earth and have a built in mechanism for scarcity. Now let's go to Counterstrike skins. It's a market with billions of dollars of trading volume(liquidity) and rare knives regularly sell for $30,000-$150,000 USD. For pixels mate. Who controls this market entirely? Valve. If they ban your account or decide to shut down the platform, you're shit out of luck. I played League of Legends for 10 years, spent $2,000 of my own money and got to Challenger which is top 0.01%. What is my account worth today? Maybe like $400 and I have to go through a complicated video game black market service to sell it. Very low liquidity. The AI revolution is gonna be what starts out the NFT craze again. Why is the average person vulnerable to AI? They are dependent on labor and own zero or very little assets. I think the logical conclusion is everyone starts obsessing over owning and creating assets. What makes assets worthwhile? The previous 3 things we mentioned. The one we didn't cover is social proof. What segment of society has the most status i.e. social proof? The entertainment industry. If I guess how it's gonna play out it's gonna go wave of AI layoffs -> Agentic AI getting praised as the solution -> AI slop becoming even more common -> NFTs becoming a mechanic for scarcity in a now digital abundant world. Next year is gonna be the year that AI media starts taking off. There is fundamentally not that much value in pure entertainment, you can't have a society operating on watching movies. You can have a society where most people are incentivized to use AI themselves to make their own money but that's hard. What's easier than teaching yourself how to become an AI savant? Trading assets based on your favorite form of entertainment. I think it's gonna piggyback right off the creator economy that took off with social media in the 2010s. Many people made careers out of building a business off of social media. Social media represents web 2.0. Web 3 is basically social media but with the public owning more of it instead of all the value being centralized in 10 tech companies.

After Space Odyssey? That's a good one. I'm naming mine Alfred. I will get him a very nicely tailored suit. I will also get a suit but mine will be black and I will now fight crime in the underworld with my newfound Karate skills! Saving mankind cannot wait.

@Basman this is pretty cool, NPCs have more realistic behaviour in GTA 6 so if you pull out a gun they'll react negaitively instead of ignoring it like previous games. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/grand-theft-auto/rockstar-boss-says-gta-6-doesnt-just-let-you-easily-walk-around-with-guns-because-gta-5s-approach-doesnt-work-at-this-resolution/

Exactly. The biggest disservice old-school pickup did was assume a one-size-fits-all model built entirely for Extraverted Sensors (Se) built for loud environments, peacocking, and fast sensory hype. If that isn't your wiring, forcing that mold feels completely fake and drains your battery instantly. Quieter or intuitive types have plenty of leverage, but it comes from frame control, depth, and dialed-in presence. Not performing like a club promoter. I learned a lot from my pickup journey but cold approach never felt fully right to me. Quick cold read: you sound like classic IxFP wiring (leaning ISFP). You appreciate tangible aesthetics and presentation (Se), but your core filter is authenticity (Fi). The moment something feels like an artificial persona, your alarm bells ring. Am I right? Fashion can be great journey both for self-awareness, learning calibration but also meeting a ton of hot people. Fashion people tend to also be very intuitive so there's way less toxicity and fakery than in the nightlife industry. If you've never tried it perhaps that's a good niche for you to explore too! I've had a lot of fun hosting events and taking part in it myself.

We are in a new era of human progress. What are you gonna name your first robot?

I think humans like ROI for their investments and thinking about children in Africa is not enough to make you feel good about spending your money. I think we should honor philanthropists a lot more and the rich people that help solve problems should get statues made. We should do whatever it takes to solve all of humanity's biggest problems asap and not virtue signal about Christian piety and "you should feel good about helping others with no reward in return!" Speaking of, MrBeast has done phenomenal work with TeamWater and some of his other charity projects. People are still dumb and found ways to hate him for it lol because his mere existence makes them feel small and irrelevant. This is why I think acquiring power is very important and demonizing this quest is a huge blindspot for stage green. Without power you will not accomplish much in life. At best you will try to band together and achieve collective power but that can be misdirected in all kinds of ways.

Have you ever shot content before? I think that is a message worth spreading. There is so much negativity online. Sounds cheesy but be the change you wanna see in the world!

It's coming, 2028-2030 is the predicted window for commercial availability. I want one that will train Karate with me

There are a lot of good use cases for short form content. The best one is event recaps and travel reels. If you do activities with your friends or community often times people take pictures but if a picture tells a 1000 words then I'd say a video is worth 100 pictures. You can capture organic fun moments and relive them years laters. You can also use Instagram to keep in touch with people you would've lost touch with a long time ago. Having someone on IG is way more powerful than having their number on your phone. Doom scrolling is a pretty big waste of time and it does take advantage of people's psychology. I don't really do it myself, when I watch reels I save them in my Obsidian for content ideas or events I can host myself. If I look at hot girls it gives me motivation to level up to get them. Sometimes I get in a funk and it makes me more depressed and self-pitying but I can usually snap myself out of it pretty quickly.

If you feel like you have value to offer then sure. We get acclimated to our own success and take it for granted but oftentimes we've figured out stuff that other people are still struggling with. Also there are different ways to offer value. You can create an accountability group for example that helps people reach their goals without any need to have any sort of expertise yourself besides offering others the value of your consistency. What type of skills do you have that can help others? Or perhaps another way to word it is what problems do you think others have that you can solve? I run 6 creative communities, 2 business chats and 2 investment communities at the moment. I also hosted a mastermind and a book club previously. Those formats didn't work particularly well so I retired them but the other ones are performing quite well to the point that I'm working on scaling them to other countries as a goal for next year. @LifeEnjoyer you wouldn't word it like that but you can message people that you know that are skilled at something that you admire or even people that you don't know. You can say something like "Hey man I really like how you're doing X or this Y piece of content that you posted the other day. I'm also into X, what're your thoughts on Z?" Most people like talking about their interests so it's easier than you think to get their thoughts on it. To develop a deep 1 on 1 mentorship relationship with someone you usually have to pay them a retainer but not always.

That's cool. What part of self-acceptance resonates most with you? Not sure what you mean by use of the mind, do you mean like shadow work?

I believe strongly in the idea of the life purpose but I believe even more strongly in making your life purpose as exciting as possible otherwise it'll be painful and maybe not even worth it. For me my life purpose is to use my intellect to build creative projects for myself and others so that we can live our lives both in adventure but also with long lasting stability and fulfillment. I like creating communities and hosting events because life is boring and lonely on your own so might as well make it more exciting by conquering together. I've posted this video a few times but it's one of the coolest events I've hosted, a content creation mastermind I hosted in Calgary in May this year. The house that this was hosted in is owned by an event partner of mine, Jeff from the Velvet network. He bought it for about $2M CAD a couple of years ago specifically to throw events after he got a nice exit from his business. https://www.instagram.com/the_velvet_network Having a venue to host events is very important and having his property to throw events was pretty nice especially when at the time I was living in a basement unit with no furniture and a mattress on the ground. The events there would've been a bit... limited. That's also a key lesson where collaborating with others that have similar goals as you is essential to scale your own vision quickly and efficiently. One of my new goals is owning a castle and using it to throw events and live out of. Some of you might know this but I aim to be polyamorous with many wives so owning a big property is pretty mandatory for me. Doing it in style and owning a literal castle seems like a grand idea. France has 40,000 of them and they are actually decently priced, especially as a Canadian, since buying a detached home in Toronto costs about the same as a mid-sized château in France so I think we got our plan set out for us. I'm gonna make it like the Playboy Mansion but even cooler. One of the key insights I've had with the life purpose quest is being sure to make it grand and serving humanity but also to serve your selfish goals. I often get people that share their life purpose goals with me that involve in some poetic sense "Being able to help the homeless", "Have a ranch and rescue puppies", etc and I think all of that is great but oftentimes we need to fulfill our deepest selfish desires and that is what's gonna get us out of bed daily to keep grinding on it. Not necessarily world peace. Both together is phenomenal though. For me my life purpose will be worth it because it'll allow me to both indulge in my deepest fantasies but also build a business and community that serves others and thus scales infinitely and I can see it bearing fruits 5 years from now, 20 years from now and hopefully 100 years from now as well. This post is partly inspired by @Olaf's post here because I agree that life is fucking hard but if you have a worthwhile goal then it makes it all worth it.

@Natasha Tori Maru Fair breakdown on phrasing, but in practice, reading between the lines gets you to the root of an issue much faster than sterile neutrality. Most times I think my assumption is correct that Instagram makes people uncomfortable because it gives them status anxiety and it's easier to cope with the ostrich strategy vs stepping up to the plate. @Lyubov seems to have put enough thought into his brand strategy that I don't find it necessary to scrutinize him further on how he wants to use social media. I think most people could use a little push towards having an antifragile mindset over the mainstream view that social media is simply toxic.

I've made previous posts showcasing the type of events we run. My favorite was a fashion show I hosted last year through my main brand Royals Agency. We had 20 models walk for us, it was a good time. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18060769145048516/ You didn't answer my question about the goal of your brand.

Makes sense. These people are actually very insecure so they can be very ruthless to individuals that threaten their illusory bubble of safety. If you're naive you can see yourself as the problem but it is simply what happens when one moves from a stage blue circle to a stage orange one. I find stage blue very deceptive because it seems safe, well-meaning and healthy until shit hits the fan. Then their attitudes get pretty damn close to stage red.

You have to decide who your target demographic is. I like beautiful women, smart women, creative women, aspiring models, aspiring musicians, art patrons and wealthy clients. My brand strategy and the events I host are built around catering to that demographic. Depends who you like having in your life. If one is more of a communist type of person they probably would despise my brand. I don't think communist type of people have much value to offer so I don't really cater to them. What about you, who do you aspire to attract with your Youtube channel and your social efforts?

This is so sick, my game will make huge progress over the next 6 months with these new developments. The future is so exciting, I'm more than here for it.

Super excited for it, looks like a game changer. It being AGI or not depends on your definition. Some humans are pretty dumb and don’t produce much value.The fact they have more of a free will than AI doesn’t count for much. Especially now with AI agents that can fulfill long term tasks.

There’s a difference between pure speculation and an educated guess. Why are you so triggered about it? He explained himself further. There’s only so much to go off in the original post.

Dont really worry about the what society needs to do as a whole. I would do precisely what Leo does and start your own community if you think you can help people solve problems. I run a few communities myself, it’s a very rewarding process. For me it started out as more of a selfish goal of making money and raising my status but each time someone thanks me for helping them I get understand more the idea of intrinsically gaining pleasure from mentorship. It’s also very validating to witness your ideas being able to work for own your life as well as others. It’s a superior form of intellectualism over simply theorizing. I’ve gained a lot of value from Leo’s work and I find that a lot of internet mentors I’ve had lost value overtime where as Leo’s ideas seem to keep bearing fruits for me.

@Lyubov The algorithm is based off of that you enjoy consuming and who you follow. I get your point of it appealing to the lowest common denominator of human nature though. For me my biggest use case it running group chats and hosting events. I agree with you that for informational content YouTube is superior. In terms of brand building Instagram is still the king though.
