Apologies for the click-baity title but I promise this is actually good.

Quite profound. This is for those who think Rationality is inherent to thinking and not a cultural bias.

My guess: What To Do When Your Video Hosting Platform Screws You Up The Ass

I used to use headphones a lot years back and it did give me temporary tinnitus after using them too much. I learned pretty quickly to watch how often I listen to music, not just for ear protection, but also because the enjoyment of music does diminish if you've listening to it for very long consecutive periods of time.

On a more serious note, though. Art has the power to change you, especially the forms of media outside of the 'mainstream' stereotypical representation of what art is which is usually limited to a dumb painting in a gallery. There is huge importance to movies, music, writing, and visual art to the shaping of one's culture and especially one's very opinions on what Life is about. Its power is so great that it even has potential for abuse like in the world of advertising and propaganda.

This is ban-worthy stupidity. Creativity is everything. Even the best technological and scientific advancements involved high amounts of creativity. Technical types tend to be overrated virgin losers. The highly creative are the true chads of the world. (In case you couldn't tell, I'm being hyperbolic and somewhat sarcastic. My serious response is further below)

Bernardo Kastrup is the Idealist and Sabine Hossenfelder is the Physicalist. I don't want to frame this too much as a competition but I'd say Kastrup sort of "won" the debate. It's clear to me that Hossenfelder fell into the defensive and wasn't arguing from the position closer to Truth. When she said "I don't understand how you can reject Statistical Independence when it's been so successful", I knew she had very little idea what she was talking about. God forbid she contemplate how relative "Success" can be.

If I'm being quite frank, this whole drama seems really stupid to me because Solipsism just seems so obvious from my perspective. The fact that there are too many problematic people who can't handle the idea that all of reality is an infinite dream that is one unified YOU is so ludicrous to me and it shows just how primitive, underdeveloped, and fragile most of human society still is. Solipsism, at least on a theoretical level, feels like basic Spirituality for me. It's the embodiment of Love, Passion, and Truth that is the real hard challenge.

Dang it. I only watched half of the video before I had to go to sleep for the night. Oh well, at the very least I'm still not in the point of my journey where Solipsism is anywhere near my top priority yet. And there is solace in knowing @Leo Gura himself took it down and not some copyright crap. I know there are shallower yet still important subjects he hasn't talked about yet. Like Pragmatism in Science, How to Educate Yourself, and How to Win Friends and Influence Pe. . . haha no jk.

(00:19:14 Infinity cannot be "done") Oh dear, another mathematician giving his assertions on reality and the "impossible" . . . Thoughts?

Woof. This is what happens when someone who doesn't get involved in politics decides to dive in without thought. Only hopped up on psychedelics.

Wait, she's a REAL person?!! I always thought she was some weird AI chick. Oh God, what if Zuckerberg's real too?!! What a world!

46:30 Everywhere, wisdom creates permanence. Ignorance and stupidity destroy permanence

Is War difficult? Yes Is Life difficult? Yes Therefore Life is War. See also 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene

Just because AI can be a genius at Go doesn't mean AI can make great art. Art requires a good understanding of culture, creativity, and love, a lot more than the need for theoretical understanding. If AI becomes advanced enough to create human-like art, they would just become like other humans.

Being online most of the time, I and many other people can fall into illusions that the demographics online are a good approximation of how the demographics are in real life. But this video shows that in practice, it can actually be the precise opposite. The internet, especially YouTube, is still a small bubble despite how global it is.

This feels like a fiction story. Not saying it is, it just feels like the sort of ridiculous thing an amateur suspense writer would think of.

How stupid. He should be using screws not nails!

As bad as tinnitus is, it's nothing compared to idiots blaring audible music outside your room or house. 'Course I do it myself sometimes, but at least nobody else I know meditates.

So hilarious yet sad at the same time.

Now here's a guy who really gets it. True rationality comes from recognizing that emotions affect your decisions, you cannot blindly appeal to "logic" in order to become rational.

I don't think he's a Trump supporter. But he's still a moron politically.

The tweet I posted suddenly disappeared. Maybe it was because of the server crash. Anyway, here's the image again posted directly

I'm reminded of something I read from some random rationalist online: (paraphrasing) "I'm open to the idea of God. Perhaps not a conscious God. Just some force we can call God."
