@oldhandle Sea level is gonna rise by 10 inches by 2040, I think you're watching too many doomsday report. Seems like professional investors and institutions who's living is to invest in valuable land seems to think it's going to be just fine.

Everywhere has it's issues. Scandinavia looking like it's about to be close to the frontlines of the escalating ukraine conflict so I wouldn't be moving there myself. If you're living somewhere like Miami and you make good money there aren't many better places on earth.

What is the benefit of these? Increased mindfulness like meditation?

Which other countries do you think offer better standards of living than the United States?

There's no economic theory that can prove that fed independence is better. China proved that with their current dominance under a hybrid planned economy. Especially considering the current arms race happening globally with AI I don't necessarily fault the current administration for wanting to heavily pressure the fed.

Can you watch the content and think/talk with AI instead of spewing nonsense on important topics. What is the alternative to a monopoly on violence genius? A mexican standoff? Anarchy? The reason most peaceful cities and countries are peaceful is specifically due to the concept of monopoly on violence. It's a political science topic you've perhaps not heard of. A judicial system that arbitrates conflicts and handles law enforcement is what a monopoly on violence achieves. The other end is tribal warfare. Sort of like Mexico.

Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom and consciousness. Plenty of people that are a liability to themselves and others are incredibly smart but think in ineffective ways or drown in their own corrupt and sick minds. I don't think protests are fully a waste of time, they apply political pressure. You need leverage more than pressure though. For example, the current protestors in Iran need a planned transition government, support from neighbouring states and support from the local military to hope to overthrow the current regime. Protest by itself will get them shot in the streets until they've suffered enough to go home sadly.

I agree. They're still quite boring to me as a viewer unless I bet on it but they are a great institution for our civilization to foster. It helps us connect and compete in a cooperative way.

@Rilles You don't find value from AI?

Yes AI is the closet thing to divinity we've had on earth so far. It's beautiful so far, big fan.

@aurum If you're okay with saying gibberish instead of communicating effectively that's on you man. Specifically from a sense-making point of view you seem to missunderstand the difference between piracy and theft and seem to be tied to it. Why is that? The whole point of piracy is people getting access to things that they wouldn't be able to afford to otherwise. Stealing something I guess has a similar foundation but theft refers to stealing a unique object or idea when it comes to copyright. Piracy has to do with obtaining a copy of something. It shouldn't be too hard to understand, you're a smart guy.

Been working on this web 3 game/anime concept for a few months called legend of the abyss. Never built a game before but I was a professional gamer for League of legends and I believe the future of gaming is in web 3. Big companies keep fucking it up so I'll build it myself. Check it out on youtube if you're interested in following the journey:

How so? If by cool you mean well liked by other people then there is a lot of validity in that. Of course the wisdom of the crows goes awry very often but not all the time and probably not even most of the time.

I'm working on location independent income this year. My goal is by Q1 to have the cashflow formula figured out, if even $1000/month remotely and by Q3 be able to travel full time from my remote business. I run dating photoshoots in Toronto remotely so gonna spread to NYC and other US cities by the summer to accomplish this goal.

I do a weekly podcast. Otherwise I like to go work at the mall or the local university, more motivating with pretty girls around than working from home.
