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 It's a really outdated system prompt for abuse that will soon be rendered obsolete.

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

@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.

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

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.
