Joshe

This Christian nutjob, Tucker Carlson, or anyone else people are saying accurately predicted this shouldn't be given credit for anything, especially intelligence. If you could collect the millions or billions of ideas and imaginings from all Christians on the planet, one of those imaginings might manifest.

I have Christian family members who are in the thick of the right-wing movement but we don't talk about politics. I get the sense they are super-energized and since it's Sunday, they're preparing to congregate in their churches and if I had to guess, today will be the day Trump's spell will take hold of them unlike ever before. Up till now, my mom has avoided the Trump cult but today might be the day she joins. It's hard to see how we're not completely fucked here.

I wonder if Owen is just a capitalist wolf or is he really this stupid? He says something like "Trump could have went and lived out his life in leisure and peace but he'd rather fight for what he believes in". Is Owen really that blind or is he cultivating an audience? What is going on here?

He’s human, so he’s traumatized on some level, but my guess is it’s suppressed or repressed and we’ll never see it and he’ll never acknowledge it. He’s probably starting to feel invincible. He had 6 or 7 humans shield him with their own bodies and then other members of that human shield team quickly and efficiently kill his attacker. What would a malignant narcissist do with that experience? IMO, his ego will use the experience to further assert his power and justify his devilry and that’s what we’ll see rather than a broken psyche.

I agree. With the latest news I’d put it at 95%.

Sure, the reality could just be what it appears on the surface to be, which is an assassination attempt on Trump. No one would be considering conspiracies if it were the pope who got shot. This is what you get when you have a character this low at the top of the chain. Some points I consider important are: Trump and the GOP just hit the political lottery. Their base is now energized like never before. Donations will soar. A ton of those people who were on the fence are now decided. It was reported yesterday that Trump was pissed that Biden was getting all the spotlight, even though it was bad press, Trump was jealous. I could see Roger Stone and Steve Bannon gizzing their pants fantasizing over this tactic. Trump was mad he didn't have enough of the limelight. Now he has all he could ever ask for. Trump just became more famous today than he ever has been. This is the best day of his life. Biden finally started unloading on Trump and energizing his base like I've never seen in a fiery speech last night. He actually energized people for the first time. Just as effective attacks against Trump got off the ground, they've come to a halt and future attacks will be less aggressive. Potential scenarios: Legit assassination attempt from anti-Trump camp Staged by Trump and company for political gain A failed assassination from those in power A staged failed political assassination by those in power That's the extent of my speculation. I probably put it at 55% legit but it's most certainly within the realm of possibility this was staged either by Trump and company or someone who stands to benefit from it. Edit: With the latest updates, it now seems highly unlikely this was staged by the Trump camp.

@Keryo Koffa That gives me a lot to ponder. Thank you for elaborating. I know this is off topic, but if you don’t mind, maybe you could expand my understanding of what pride and shame are. What are your thoughts on this: Two people are in an intense argument and things are heated. Both people deeply want the other to see their own position is right and the other is wrong. Eventually, one person delivers a line of reason that completely nullifies the other position. In this moment of victory, pride or something arises in the victor. But is that pride-alignment or pride-shame or is it even pride at all? Excluding the very advanced, nearly everyone would experience some sort of positive emotion in that hypothetical, just from the tension being relieved, and I think that could easily be misidentified as pride when it might not be. I can even see in some situations it being closer to love than pride. For example, when a teacher who has been struggling for some time to get a student to see something finally has a breakthrough and she witnesses the moment the student realizes the teaching. There’s a positive emotion that something good has happened. If I were the teacher in this scenario, the pleasure I would feel would come from something good happening, not from the idea that I was the one who made it happen. Imagine the detriment to the person who is not experiencing pride but rather, a desire for good to prevail, but that person misidentifies that in them which is inherently good as something that is inherently bad and needs to be worked on or removed. It could be the case that it just needs reframed. Just thinking out loud. The ego is tricky so maybe all this is bs, but maybe it’s not. You said that you, even as a child, always acted on good faith and it became clear that the majority did not. This seems like a battle of good and evil and evil has the numbers. There are more of them than there are of you. This creates anger and resentment at the injustice of it all and one wants it resolved. In the resolution, one might think their negative emotion stems from something broken in them rather than a right frustration against that which tramples upon good. Again, just thinking out loud. Seems like a slippery slope but maybe there’s something there.

Thanks for sharing. It’s adds to comfort that there are others out there! I love how you articulated the situation. I deal with the same problem, but I’ve wondered, am I inherently prideful or does the pride manifest from engagement with lower energies? I ran a thought experiment and imagined a world in which everyone valued truth and were not egotists and could easily revise their perspectives as reality gave them new information and in that world, I didn’t feel antagonistic. I actually felt at peace and happy. I would love nothing more than for others to arrive at truth on their own without my involvement, so am I inherently prideful or is the pride manifesting from engagement with lower energies? IDK. It seems the pride would never come into existence in my thought experiement. Regardless if this is true, the pride is still in me and it’s my responsibility, so I’m not blaming the lower energies on why it would arise in me but rather, if this is the case, I have a choice of continuing the engagement or abandoning it. It seems that if you want to transcend the lower energies, the only way is to abandon them, which, in my case and seemingly yours, would entail surrendering all cynical thought and negative judgement towards others. This is just where I’m currently at on this same problem and I’ve yet to commit to the solution, which makes me wonder, what if I am really just prideful and don’t want to let it go. But then I remember how I am, and I know that’s not right. I think I’m just too lazy to begin reprogramming the decades worth of conditioning.

Pretty cool idea. I created a Notion Doc (work in progress) that I'll use to keep track of everything. It would also be cool to create some sort of world map with SVGs that could be colored in when you check one off the list. Feel free to duplicate the template or leave comments for improvements. https://pickled-axolotl-08e.notion.site/Leo-s-Geography-Challenge-ea37ff23b6b349c5beac9ef0277b6ae1?pvs=4 I'd like to get a "meta view" for each entry that would contain the best information for understanding without diving into the minutia.

Model: GPT-4 Josh tell me what you think intelligence is Chat-GPT Intelligence is a complex and multi-faceted concept that is often defined and understood in various ways. Generally, it refers to the ability of an individual or a system to learn, understand, reason, problem-solve, and adapt to new situations. Some key aspects of intelligence include: Cognitive abilities: These are the mental processes involved in acquiring and processing information, such as attention, perception, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Knowledge: Intelligence involves the accumulation of information and understanding of various subjects, concepts, and ideas. Knowledge enables individuals to make sense of the world and apply their understanding in various contexts. Learning and adaptability: A crucial aspect of intelligence is the ability to learn from experience and adapt to changing environments or situations. This involves identifying patterns, extracting meaning, and applying insights to new situations or problems. Emotional intelligence: This refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others. Emotional intelligence is important for effective communication, empathy, and social functioning. Creativity: Intelligence often involves the capacity to think creatively, generate novel ideas, and approach problems from new perspectives. It is important to note that intelligence is not a fixed trait but can be developed and nurtured over time. Additionally, intelligence can manifest diferently across individuals, and there is no universally accepted measure for it. Josh what about the ability to analyze a situation and to see between the lines and to see things most people miss. What is that called and which of the 5 categories you just mentioned would you place it in? Chat-GPT The ability to analyze a situation, see between the lines, and perceive things that most others don't can be referred to as "insight" or "perceptiveness." This skill involves a combination of several aspects of intelligence that I mentioned earlier: Cognitive abilities Knowledge Learning and adaptability Emotional intelligence While insight or perceptiveness might not fit neatly into just one of the categories, it can be seen as a combination of these aspects of intelligence. Developing this ability typically involves honing your cognitive skills, expanding your knowledge, and refining your emotional intelligence. Josh So if you think about it, this one ability, "perceptiveness", is close to being a catch-all for what intelligence is. What do you think of that? Chat-GPT It's an interesting perspective, and I can see how perceptiveness can be viewed as a key component of intelligence. Perceptiveness allows individuals to make connections, discern patterns, and understand the deeper aspects of various situations. In that sense, it is indeed a valuable and central aspect of intelligence. However, it's essential to remember that intelligence is a multifaceted concept, and other aspects, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, and adaptability, also play crucial roles in contributing to one's overall intellectual capacity. While perceptiveness is an important element of intelligence, it is not the sole defining factor. Moreover, people can exhibit intelligence in various ways and excel in different domains, such as mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, or interpersonal intelligence, to name a few. So, while perceptiveness is undoubtedly an important aspect of intelligence, it is just one piece of a larger, more complex puzzle. Josh My perceptiveness is very high, but there is very little computation or cognitive reasoning or logic occuring. It's often the case that the essence of the things I observe are revealed effortlessly, as if it has been filtered through my unconscious mind and then served up to my conscious mind. I've heard people say this is what intuition is. What do you think about that? Chat-GPT Yes, what you're describing does sound like intuition. Intuition is often defined as the ability to understand or grasp something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning or deliberate analysis. It is a form of knowing or sensing that seems to arise spontaneously, bypassing the typical cognitive processes. Intuition can be thought of as a form of perceptiveness that is rooted in the unconscious mind. It draws on your past experiences, knowledge, and insights to make connections and generate understanding without conscious effort. Intuitive insights can seem to appear out of nowhere, but they are often the result of your brain processing information in the background, outside of your conscious awareness. It is worth noting that intuition can be a valuable asset, particularly in situations where there is limited time or information for thorough analysis. However, intuition can also be influenced by cognitive biases and emotional factors, which can sometimes lead to inaccurate conclusions. Thus, it is essential to strike a balance between relying on your intuition and engaging in more deliberate, analytical thinking when making decisions or solving problems. In summary, your high level of perceptiveness that seems to operate automatically and without conscious reasoning can indeed be understood as intuition, an important aspect of human intelligence. Josh But you didn't mention intuition in your original list of the 5 key aspects. As far as my intelligence goes, this is a very important aspect. It's not really about speed of discernment, although it is really fast, occurring in a split second, but the point is, I'm now wondering if this faculty seems to be the culmination of honing the 5 key aspects you mentioned. Taking this idea into account, in so far as you agree with it, how would you incorporate this into your definition of intelligence? Chat-GPT I apologize for not including intuition in my original list of key aspects of intelligence. Based on your perspective, it is clear that intuition plays a significant role in your intellectual experience. Given the importance you place on intuition, I can revise my definition of intelligence to better incorporate this aspect: Intelligence is the ability of an individual or a system to learn, understand, reason, problem-solve, and adapt to new situations, utilizing both conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. Key aspects of intelligence include: Cognitive abilities: The mental processes involved in acquiring and processing information, such as attention, perception, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Knowledge: The accumulation of information and understanding of various subjects, concepts, and ideas, which enables individuals to make sense of the world and apply their understanding in various contexts. Learning and adaptability: The ability to learn from experience and adapt to changing environments or situations, identifying patterns, extracting meaning, and applying insights to new situations or problems. Emotional intelligence: The ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others, important for effective communication, empathy, and social functioning. Creativity: The capacity to think creatively, generate novel ideas, and approach problems from new perspectives. Intuition: The ability to understand or grasp something instinctively without conscious reasoning, leveraging past experiences, knowledge, and insights stored in the unconscious mind. In this revised definition, intuition is acknowledged as a distinct aspect of intelligence, highlighting its role as a culmination of honed cognitive abilities, knowledge, learning, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and creativity. By incorporating intuition, the definition of intelligence becomes more comprehensive and better reflects the diverse ways in which individuals experience and manifest their intellectual capacities. Josh What about the ability to discern what is true from what is false. The ability to get to the truth. How does that capacity fit into your understanding of intelligence? Chat-GPT The ability to discern what is true from what is false, often referred to as critical thinking or truth-discernment, is an essential component of intelligence. This capacity allows individuals to evaluate the credibility and reliability of information, arguments, and claims, ultimately helping them arrive at more accurate conclusions and make informed decisions. Critical thinking or truth-discernment can be seen as a combination of several aspects of intelligence. To integrate this capacity into the definition of intelligence, you could consider truth-discernment as a higher-order skill that emerges from the effective combination of cognitive abilities, knowledge, learning, adaptability, emotional intelligence, creativity, and intuition. In this way, truth-discernment can be understood as a crucial aspect of intelligence, one that enables individuals to navigate the complexities of the world and make more informed decisions. Josh In you initial response/definition of intelligence, you didn't mention truth discernment nor perceptiveness as emergent higher order skills. Are there any other higher order skills that you've failed to mention? Chat-GPT My initial definition of intelligence indeed did not mention truth-discernment, perceptiveness, or intuition explicitly. These higher-order skills can be considered emergent properties that arise from the effective combination of the key aspects of intelligence. There may be other higher-order skills worth mentioning, such as: Metacognition: This refers to the ability to think about one's own thinking processes, monitor and regulate them, and adapt one's learning strategies. Metacognition enables individuals to be more aware of their cognitive strengths and weaknesses and to optimize their intellectual performance. Systems thinking: This is the ability to understand complex systems, recognize the interdependencies and relationships between their components, and predict how changes in one part of the system may affect other parts. Systems thinking enables individuals to analyze and solve problems in a holistic manner, taking into account the broader context and potential consequences. Moral and ethical reasoning: This refers to the ability to evaluate situations, actions, and decisions based on moral principles, ethical values, and social norms. Moral and ethical reasoning is important for understanding the implications of one's actions on others and making responsible choices. These higher-order skills, along with truth-discernment and perceptiveness, can be understood as manifestations of intelligence that result from the integration and application of the foundational aspects of intelligence mentioned in my earlier responses. Intelligence is a complex, multifaceted construct, and there may be additional higher-order skills that I have not mentioned, but these examples should give you a sense of the variety and depth of intellectual capacities that can emerge from the interplay of cognitive abilities, knowledge, learning, adaptability, emotional intelligence, creativity, and intuition. Josh Ok, thank you. Now, that we have all that fleshed out, I want to ask you again. What is intelligence? Give me a list of the key aspects with descriptions and also the higher-order emergent properties that arise from the key aspects. Chat-GPT Intelligence is the ability of an individual or a system to learn, understand, reason, problem-solve, and adapt to new situations, utilizing both conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. Below is an updated list of key aspects of intelligence, along with their descriptions, followed by a list of higher-order emergent properties. Key aspects of intelligence: Cognitive abilities: The mental processes involved in acquiring and processing information, such as attention, perception, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Knowledge: The accumulation of information and understanding of various subjects, concepts, and ideas, which enables individuals to make sense of the world and apply their understanding in various contexts. Learning and adaptability: The ability to learn from experience and adapt to changing environments or situations, identifying patterns, extracting meaning, and applying insights to new situations or problems. Emotional intelligence: The ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others, important for effective communication, empathy, and social functioning. Creativity: The capacity to think creatively, generate novel ideas, and approach problems from new perspectives. Intuition: The ability to understand or grasp something instinctively without conscious reasoning, leveraging past experiences, knowledge, and insights stored in the unconscious mind. Higher-order emergent properties: Truth-discernment: The ability to evaluate the credibility and reliability of information, arguments, and claims, ultimately helping individuals arrive at more accurate conclusions and make informed decisions. Perceptiveness: The capacity to analyze situations, see between the lines, and perceive things that most others don't, often arising from a combination of cognitive abilities, knowledge, learning, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Metacognition: The ability to think about one's own thinking processes, monitor and regulate them, and adapt one's learning strategies to optimize intellectual performance. Systems thinking: The ability to understand complex systems, recognize the interdependencies and relationships between their components, and predict how changes in one part of the system may affect other parts. Moral and ethical reasoning: The ability to evaluate situations, actions, and decisions based on moral principles, ethical values, and social norms, crucial for understanding the implications of one's actions on others and making responsible choices. This comprehensive list of key aspects of intelligence, along with the higher-order emergent properties, offers a more holistic perspective on the diverse and interconnected ways in which individuals manifest and apply their intellectual capacities. Josh Would you say that this response of yours, which is only a little more comprehensive than your first response, is orders of magnitude more representative of what intelligence actually is compared to your first response? Chat-GPT While I wouldn't necessarily say that this response is "orders of magnitude" more representative of what intelligence is compared to the first response, I do believe it provides a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of intelligence. The additional key aspects and higher-order emergent properties discussed in the updated response help paint a clearer and more nuanced picture of intelligence as a multifaceted and interconnected construct. The difference between the two responses may not be substantial enough to describe it as orders of magnitude, but the updated response certainly provides a more well-rounded perspective on the nature of intelligence, taking into account a broader range of intellectual capacities and skills. Josh The very first thing you said about the nature of intelligence is that it is complex and multi-faceted and then you went on to describe the components or facets, and placed no emphasis on how the facets interconnect nor the emergent phenomena that occur when they do connect, and intelligence is not intelligence until the facets connect. In trying to understand the essence of intelligence, to omit the implications of the emergent properties is like explaining the Earth to a child without mentioning that it exists in outer space. Providing information about the Earth's geography and physical attributes is good but omitting the fact that it is floating in a vacuum absolutely cripples the child's understanding, and I would say, by orders of magnitude. This single fact that the earth floats in a vacuum is essential to discern the essence of the Earth and omitting it results in a significantly less comprehensive understanding. Does that make sense? Do you agree with it? What do you think about this argument? Chat-GPT I appreciate your perspective and analogy, and I understand the point you are making. It is true that my initial response did not emphasize the interconnectedness of the facets of intelligence and the emergent phenomena that arise when they connect. This omission may have led to an understanding of intelligence that lacked a crucial element, as you pointed out using the analogy of Earth and its existence in outer space. Your argument highlights the importance of considering the context, relationships, and interactions among the components of any complex system, including intelligence. By neglecting to address these aspects, one might indeed miss a fundamental part of understanding the nature of the system. In the case of intelligence, it's essential to consider how the different facets interconnect and give rise to emergent properties that are crucial to a more comprehensive understanding of intelligence. In light of your argument, I agree that the updated response, which includes a discussion of the interconnectedness of the facets of intelligence and the higher-order emergent properties, offers an understanding that is significantly more comprehensive than the initial response. By recognizing the importance of the interactions and connections among the facets of intelligence, we can gain a more profound appreciation of the true nature of intelligence as a complex, multifaceted, and interconnected phenomenon. --- End of conversation I think Chat-GPT can be a really good tool for fine-tuning one's understanding of things. Obviously, you can question-beg and this could be a tool to solidify false positions and that's probably going to occur bigly, but for the intelligent ones, fuckin game changer.

https://youtu.be/dbowmuFxFAo I clipped and privately posted a segment of your video on con-artistry that was really helpful in explaining to a friend the difference between Trump and status-quo politicians. I think it could be really helpful to others as well and thought it’d be a great idea for it to be posted to your clips channel, so just wanted to run that by you. Thanks for all your work and sharing.

A very valid and cautious critique. Skepticism is the guide to truth. But surely you understand what he's saying MIGHT be possible. It might also be possible that he's full of shit. It seems to me that his willingness to cater to skeptics has decreased as he is putting a standard in place that if you want to take part in or progress further with his teachings, then you must have put in ample spiritual work and he's saying that those on the edge or half-assers are free to go if they want. My sense if that he's spent countless hours preaching the merits of open-mindedness for the sake of people opening up to radical ideas but the teaching of open-mindedness is just a means to an end and the real work can only happen once that teaching is embodied. Leo KNOWS that as he evolves, his followers and popularity will decrease and he KNOWS that his teachings will become more cult-like, which is why he previously tried to innoculate followers from it. He KNOWS that he will sacrifice worldly pleasures and be subject to intense rational scrutiny. He knows many followers will fall off. He also knows the courage it takes for a spiritual seeker to even entertain his teachings and he doesn't take that lightly. I don't know Leo personally but I've seen enough to KNOW what I'm saying is the case and even if he's full-on bat-shit, his previous record is more than enough, many times over, to at least entertain the most absurd claims he might make. The subject matter is such that nothing is outside the realm of possibility. Is the worry for his mental health or to defend Truth? If he's off his rocker, he needs no pitty. If seekers are misled, it was meant to be. Carry on Edit: if it turns out to be he's off his rocker, then we can and should dive deeper into it but until then... “All great truths begin as blasphemies.”

@Leo Gura - If NN teks work for 5meo, then average joe shouldn't have a problem. According to my research, this is the case. Could be wrong. Just going off those who seem to be reputable chemists on the clearnet.

The thing is, you have marketable skills and you know how to use them to make money. You've been doing it for 3.5 years. I don't have all the details but it seems like worst comes to worst, you move to a new spot and start again. Should be able to get that done with 5k or less. If you don't have it, borrow it or get a credit card. Whatever you do, don't give in and go back to the corporate world. You've come too far for that. Hopefully, you have at least a little bit of an emergency fund. IMO, this is and will be a win-win situation. You'll be lucky to have experienced a situation where you were in touch with your survival. It makes you take life more seriously. It pushes you another step closer to even greater responsibility and also another step in getting acclimated to fear. Getting more familiar with it, so that one day you can transcend it. Good luck!

According to Hamilton Morris, 5meo is easy to synthesize. It's a long talk but here's the relevant piece - From what I gathered, it's the same process as NN-dmt but with different material.

@FreeThoughtFlow - Your own ego projects onto Leo. You assume that if Leo's words were to come out of your own mouth, that you would be entertaining the ego. Maybe Leo doesn't want to filter his message or hold anything back from what his experience was and he figures it best to cater to the more evolved egos than cater to the ones not aware of projection. Maybe. The way I see it is that he wants to show people what's possible and he uses his story to do that. Is there some form of ego there? IDK. To think about how much he's studied ego, self-deception, etc and practiced awareness and consciousness for thousands of hours, I would think he's transcended his ego a lot more than what you believe. If I'm you, I would have to say to myself. This doesn't make sense. What am I missing? Is this guy an egomaniac or what am I missing? And to me, it would seem as though I'm missing something.

@Nahm Awesome answers. I especially like "God isn't intelligent but God is intelligence." Although I know there's no big man in the sky, the way I was framing it seemed as if a being possessed intelligence and if that was the case me and the being are two separate things, which is a duality, so that perspective would have to be undone to realize non-duality. Ok, Ok, yes, I'm a seeker. lol. I should have said I'm not a hardcore seeker. But maybe that's a lie too. Thank you very much!

@Aaron p - Interesting! Thanks for your reply!

@Nahm - Do you have experience with things like this? Do you think these things are all hogwash, pure coincidence, or fictions created by the mind? I definitely see religious/spiritual seekers creating fictions which they want to be signs, but I'm not a seeker and I'm very skeptical and aware of self-deception. I question pretty much everything and am willing to let anything that's not truth go. So, I just wanted to say that I have no hope for these things to be "signs", but knowing that God is intelligent and that these coincidences are so fuckin crazy, it seems possible. To me, these insane coincidences almost feel like a nudge to get to work on spirituality.

@VioletFlame you're welcome!

@EvilAngel - you're welcome!

@VioletFlame - Yeah it's really interesting! If you're interested in the movie, it's free to watch if you have an Amazon Prime subscription.

@Nahm ahhahaah - That was the exact book I was reading when the I came across the word "coincidence" at the same time it was spoken on TV

@EvilAngel Yes it is. It definitely helps to solidify the magic going on here Thanks for the reply! Gonna look into those terms.

The website is a cheap or free Wordpress theme and looks like it's been put together by a novice. Could have this done for about $100 on Upwork. If he can't invest a few thousand in his web presence, he's probably not successful or either don't know shit about business and marketing. I'd stay away from this one.
