Don't you see what you just wrote as victim mindset? Agency is built out of believing that your individual actions have an effect on the collective. I've found that my style of interacting on this forum has elevated the discourse in ways that I'm starting to notice. If we all sought to raise the bar further in ways that we find valuable then it would flourish perhaps infinitely

@Emerald Well said

Lmao that's wild, that's conviction. You don't believe in the idea of diversification and derisking with other asset classes and doing more like 50% crypto?

What percentage of your portfolio would you say is BTC over other asset classes?

Which traditions are we talking about? If this is towards Islam it's not so much traditions more so doctrine and laws that lead to imprisonment if not beatings if not followed right? Let's not forget how Iran came to the forefront of the news cycle over the past few years. Good ol morality police. If we're talking traditions like being nice to your neighbour then obviously that's a different issue.

Mental health is still not a well understood topic and the institutions around us fail people all the time for sure. This indeed could've been avoided if she was admitted into inpatient care and placed under observation for a few weeks. The US is currently cutting funding for this type of care though so unfortunately it's not an issue that will be solved in the next few years.

I agree. If you get cheated on you should examine what the deeper mechanism at play was and not just generalize that men or women are bad. Was your partner just a disloyal person? Did you stop meeting their wants and needs? Are they polyamorous or were repressing it? There are explanations for basically everything in life that can use us to predict the future more accurately.

It's one of the most beautiful industry on earth. Based on love and sex. It's not because something is difficult that it's not worth doing. I have this same dillema being a dating photographer but I've helped people lose their virginity and find confidence in themselves and that's a different and better feeling that selling cupcakes or working in solar power IMO.

Price action over what period of time? That's the danger of chasing pumps and timing the market vs having a fundamentally sound investing and personal finance strategy IMO.

It's hard to have objective discussions with anonymous users. That's why I post my instagram in my bio so you guys can see my life and we're talking human to human and not WizardKiller48 to NewKidontheBlock. I encourage you to do the same. I think a lot of people dislike social media because it's a global arena that shows your life and connects you to everyone else on earth. It's also why I use ruthless rhetoric to deconstruct peoples points so they can't hide in vague platitudes. Every guy pretends to be casanova and Mike Tyson. I'm not great at martial arts and don't workout but social dynamics and dating strategy I'm hard to beat.

Why do you think that technical analysis is more reliable than macroeconomics to predict the future price performance of Bitcoin? Wouldn't the price going up be more based on a lot of money being put into the asset over how it's performed a few years ago?

I would write a massive paragraph of your life and all your problems and the things going well and ask it to identify your bottleneck and flaws as a human being and to be ruthlessly honest and I promise you that you'll learn a few things about yourself that were hiding deep in your psyche lol I'm trying the Gary Vee technique of posting about all your flaws and shortcomings publicly to make yourself invulnerable. So far its working it feels half good and half bad. A lot of people on here don't answer questions honestly when asked. What are you scared of and who are you hiding from?

Thanks guys! I have found it tremendously helpful in identifying both my strengths and blindspots. The key is to use it to challenge yourself and falsify your positions not only to flatter you. It can also be used for game purposes lol, I've used it to ask it about texts I'm about to send to women and it's helped me see if I'm a bit uncalibrated or where I should be even more bold and I'm holding myself back. Also that's how I know a lot of people are projecting when we argue together on this forum. I ask Gemini often if I'm the one projecting or they are. Sometimes I am but I genuinely don't really care that much to be right and am just fascinated about solving all my problems and becoming superhuman whereas a lot of people vie for status and being right. I use my Instagram as my lightning rod of my status so all my discussions on this forum are based on genuine inquiry and good faith debate. I still have some ego and am more aggressive than I should be but I think that's because I'm in a proving myself stage of my life. In 15 years once I'm in my mid 40s and have accomplished most of what I want to I'll be nicer I promise. Now is the time for conquest of the enemy and the acquisition of their women!

I'm trying to make the greatest IP of all time with my current project Legend of the Abyss In the process I'm studying the other greatest IPs of all time and after making a Marvel thread We're now doing Star Wars. I loved the movies growing up but was never a mega fan. What really moves me is the medieval era so Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are at the moment my favorite shows of all time. Star Wars is clearly phenomenal though and I'm currently rewatching all the movies and taking notes on them. Just watched Revenge of the Sith yesterday and took a bunch of notes on Obsidian which I synthesized in this article here https://kylefall.substack.com/p/deconstructing-star-wars-revenge I was quite moved at how deep the story was and how sad Anakin's downfall is and it's due to George Lucas studying deeply Joseph Campbell and the Hero's journey to write his characters. I really like that sine as an INTP unrealistic plot lines and bad writing makes me want to jump out of a window head first. I just watched this video and although I do agree with some of his criticisms I still think that Star Wars is great and the stuff coming out is worth watching. I fucking loved Ahsoka and Shin Hati is my favorite Star Wars character by far. Who wouldn't want a Dark Jedi apprentice? I think overall the multimedia adaptation of both Star Wars and Marvel is fascinating from a business ecosystem perspective and I'm studying all I can about it. Feel free to discuss whatever interests you about the Star Wars franchise and I have a few specific questions to lead the discussion. 1) What is your favorite Star Wars Movie and why? 2) Who is your favorite Star Wars character and why? 3) What are other IPs that you like as much as Star wars or more and why? May the force be with you

I was analyzing some of my forum posts with Gemini and I came to interesting conclusions regarding my blind spots and biases that are holding me back in life. It actually first started when I deconstructed my addictions to weed and porn and I realized that I tend to use easy dopamine as a way to cope with the hardships of life. Classic enough but it gets deeper. I got into cryptocurrency a few years ago and studied hundreds of hours of it as well as finane and macroeconomics. It taught me a lot but I'm still broke and not that successful in society. Why is that since I've been interested in business and working on mine for over a decade at this point? Gemini also helped me figure that out, I actually switched to a strategy of not buying weed or drinks when I was anxious and under-stimulated and buying Crypto instead to feel like I was investing in my future instead of just coping with substances. Gemini highlighted that it's a common trap for intellectuals try to smart their way to success as we're usually weaker at industriousness which requires emotional labor instead. After analyzing my life over the past year I was quited stumped at my bottleneck as I actually am not a lazy person and work a lot so why am I getting stuck? Reading Leo's blog post today gave me the insight that it was due to a simple stage blue shadow. I have a deep disrespect for the classic institutions of society like religion, school and even building a career instead of starting a business. I now realize that this disrespect has lead me to ego and arrogance and reduced my efficiency in my business and life as a whole. Thought I would share as I feel like it's probably a common thing on this forum as well since my consuming Leo's content we get a superior frame of reference to what society teaches as a whole and this can lead to intellectual arrogance. I notice a lot of stage green shadow on this forum but the stage blue shadow was invisible to me until today. Hopefully as I integrate this stage more over the next months and years I will finally solve my bottlenecks and be able to crush all my goals and finally be able to actualize my grandest visions and overall life purpose. I like the blog bro keep it up, sharing short form insights is actually really powerful. I haven't had the energy to watch the recent long form videos but I read the blog daily. https://www.actualized.org/insights/michael-oakeshotts-conservatism
