@Joshe Can you explain how you use it and what value you find from the canvases? They’re cool in theory but I’ve built a few and I forget to check them for months so clearly they’re not that important for me.

Great conversation on the potential of DeFi to not only empower people but fundamentally free them. If you can make your own money and store it securely then the ability of authoritarian structures to oppress you drops by like 90%. Think of all refugees having had to flee their country in the past 50 years and cross a border into a foreign land with basically 0$ to their name! Crazy that people made it, I’m proud of them but let’s leave that to the past. That plus AI agents leaves me extremely optimistic for the future and the empowerment of the individual and eventually our species as a whole.

@samijiben Why are ethics and chasing the bag incompatible ethics? That’s demonstrably false and a toxic mindset.

Agreed. Obsidian is phenomenal and the best tool for building a second brain/commonplace book there is.

@Something Funny Of course. Depends on which causes you wanna back but green energy is a trending stock just as much as defence contractors. You can always just build something yourself. Investing is using your capital to further someone's mission. And due to the global financial markets being based on speculation that has more leverage than you just using that money on your life(those sweet exponential returns) but it doesn't necessarily have to. I would argue that Crypto and AI agents are gonna lead to some of the most ethical projects as they support decentralization of governance and ownership as a whole.

I'm a dating photographer and looking to turn that into a media empire slowly but surely. I used it to network and make a few social circles, its a fun side hustle.

Just beware of being super concerned with consciousness and ethicality can also turn into a path to more egotism and more sneakily procrastination. Of course you can pursue music and still do it consciously. Did you post a piece of content/work on your art yesterday and today though or just mentally masturbate about being an ethical person is a more important question IMO.

Spotify is good! Worked a manual labor job recently and I would listen to the episodes for hours without wifi so that helped.

@Jayson G I think understanding corruption, power, wealth and other materialistic concepts are probably more important than actual spiritual principles. That's like saying why focus on eating when you're God! Also the deeper I get into politics the more complicated it seems so seek first to understand then to be understood is a phenomenal adage. @Daniel Balan Didn't you just answer your own question lol, unless I'm misunderstanding you describe being jaded and lacking trust in people more than understanding them. Great reason not to dive too much into corruption or for example red pill in a dating context. @How to be wise What's more spiritual than understanding the human condition and the truth and reality of our existence here on earth? @Leo Gura Thanks for the update brother, what would you say are like your top 3 books on the list and what you liked about them?

I like the idea of practicing maximum effort regularly. Pushing limits is not usually something humans are comfortable doing but it is exhilarating and less monotonous than just tedious work all the time. What do you mean by sprints other than running?

@Joshe Which AI model did you use for that screenshot? It's well formatted

Really good context. He was an online author and she found his work funny which lead to them communicating and then eventually getting married. Demonstrating some kind of competence or value online is one of the most reliable ways to cast a wide net and get long term ROI in dating so makes sense. People have touched on the emotional safety/bond aspect which is true as well but also another key interesting thing is with the way biotech is looking right now this guy might very well be walking in 10 years and they'll be a normal couple with a crazy badass story. Perhaps the universe knows what its doing

@Lyubov Agreed, this mirrors the red pill stages of grief : anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Focusing on the bad parts of how unactractive you are is basically anger/depression stage and what makes up black pill thinking. @Princess Arabia Yes acceptance of pain is one of the biggest ways to relieve it. You seem to imply that it's useless to build anything outside of that though. @Tenebroso You seem to be stuck in the black pill stage of anger, empower yourself brother. @Hojo For sure looking to escape the pain of life through a woman will never work long term. Only spirituality and purpose truly help in my experience and women are your companions on the way.

MBTI TypeP(Type) INTP35% INTJ30% ENTP20% ENTJ15% You're on the right track in using AI to expand on the model. It has a lot of potential for self-exploration especially in analyzing our thousands of posts here. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna use it to flesh out my life purpose more.

Yeah it makes sense for it to be based in powerlessness. I like this meditation here that focuses on love and kindness towards yourself and others. I found it healing for me
