This is not true you got to do your research. Also you could give police a relief by simply not incarcerating people who buy and use. Only pursue manufacturers.

Logical fallacy, just because repression wasn't perfect it doesn't mean the alternative is better. The alternative could very well be worse. Often the best move is to do nothing at all. Legalization will cause the consumption of weed to explode through the roof like it did in Canada. Consumption will 10x, it is not a win to Legalize It if you care about reducing consumption. The claim is weed manufacturing will produce healthier weed while as a trade-off 10x more people are going to smoke it. If cigarettes were illegal It would reduce cigarette addiction 100x. This is just a win. This happens to be a straw man that you've constructed because your sidestepping the problem of the rapid increase in weed consumption that will follow legalization. Just isn't true, this is Cherry Picked, the effects of weed are not minor at all, it has a strong impact on a person's life and anxiety levels especially when it's done as a teenager. You need to be more Vigilant about your own epistemology and not fall into the Trap of confirmation bias by citing studies, An epistemic wizard will carefully incorporating multiple epistemic approaches and combining them all together. It will make it a lot easier for people to get addicted now that it's legal. So again your sidestepping the problem. You can get better social workers, psychotherapists and all of that good stuff without legalizing drugs.

@Juns maybe the video wasn't that great I'm not sure but his writing on corruption was pure gold. Insights this profound can't be found on the internet.

Redirect the river of corruption instead of trying to stop it. Working with corruption instead of fighting it is actually the smarter move. Here's why: People are more corrupt than we admit. This is just reality. Fighting against this directly usually fails. Instead, smart people can: Build businesses that work within corrupt systems Make money from these businesses Then use that money for good things that raise consciousness For example: You could start an online gambling business. People will gamble anyway. Run it more ethically than others would Make lots of money from human addiction and weakness Use those profits to fund better education, spiritual growth, or community programs This is like redirecting a river instead of trying to stop it. The corruption is the river. You don't fight the river - you build channels that direct it where you want it to go. The idealists who refuse to touch "dirty industries" end up with no money and no power to change anything. Meanwhile, the most corrupt people run everything. This isn't about being corrupt yourself. It's about being smart enough to work with reality as it is - people are selfish, addicted, and corrupt - and use that reality to fund something better. Mankind is way more evil than it admits. Stop pretending otherwise. This is why people like Trump win while idealists fail. The corruption is so profound that only by working within it can you actually change anything. This is advanced thinking, not naive idealism. Stop fighting the demonic rhinoceros and learn to redirect it instead. @Leo Gura what do you think of this idea specifically?

This is inspired by Leo's latest blog post

Idealism itself becomes corrupt: The historical pattern of idealistic revolutions that ultimately fail or become corrupted is the most damning evidence supporting our thesis. Make no mistake about it: every revolution in human history eventually corrupts itself. Always. The French Revolution beheaded aristocrats only to crown Napoleon. The Russian Revolution overthrew the Tsar only to install Stalin. The Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah only to elevate the Ayatollahs. This sounds so biased and unfair, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. Mankind's corruption is so profound that even the most idealistic revolutionaries become the very monsters they sought to destroy. The corruption is inscribed into our souls. Che Guevara's face on t-shirts while his revolution rots from within. Mao's portrait watching over a hyper-capitalist China. This is not simplistically saying revolution is wrong—I'm saying something advanced and non-partisan. The corruption is so profound that idealism itself becomes weaponized, becomes the very vehicle of further corruption. -Claude Assisted

Technological advancement and material progress continue despite moral stagnation because they harness mankind's corruption rather than trying to overcome it. This works precisely because technology doesn't require moral improvement—it requires greed, competition, nationalism, fear, and status-seeking. Mankind builds iPhones and nuclear weapons with the same corrupt heart. The corruption is so profound that our greatest innovations emerge from war departments and profit-obsessed corporations. Progressives counter-intuitively go wrong in believing technology will save us morally, not understanding that technology itself is morally neutral at best and actively amplifies our corruption at worst. It's funny because progressives are portrayed as technological optimists, but in fact they underestimate how technology strengthens mankind's corrupt impulses while appearing to advance civilization. Our shiny gadgets mask our rotting souls. -Claude Assisted

The point of this system is that one president is elected for each party, so you have two presidents. Both of them keep each other in check and require consensus to get anything done. Would this work? 🤨 Another thing that you could possibly do is have a anti-corruption government section. Is well funded, and whose job is to prevent corruption in every possible domain of government. Which will likely never work because the anti-corruption section will be corrupt. But it’s worth a try. Lol

So he removed the two term limit and that’s why he’s a dictator now while all his predecessors weren’t corrupt enough to do that

Feelings are the most important possible thing in my direct experience but from Leo's framework it is an afternote. When a human experiences absolute love they get a feeling of love but that feeling is a Limited human experience of the absolute. This is generally how Leo has explained this to me in the past. Feelings in this framework is like content that is changing and not part of the structure of anything. but I have never had an experience of anything without feelings, feelings are changing constantly but I never had no feelings. Existence is a super obvious absolute because it's just always there but feelings yes they're changing constantly but they're also always there. I've never not had a feeling. So it would appear to me that feelings are also first order? What is actual in my direct experience, is also deeply entangled with a feeling. Yes that feeling changes but there is always a feeling. Always. I can recognize what is actual in my direct experience as first order. But if I create a separation between feelings and what his actual I feel like that separation is artificial. Why should I separate my feelings from what is actual? @Leo Gura

Why separate feeling from God’s Will crystallized as a tree? There was a motivation to crystallize itself as a tree which is that it felt like it? God feels like being a tree. My finite human will is very limited and 99% of my body moves on its own by its own will, it feels like it? it appears to me that it’s raw feeling crystallized as a tree. It’s made of the “tree feeling”. Why did two atoms come together, because they’re both made a feelings which is the will of God. The explanation you gave I could understand but you’re removing feeling from the equation and I don’t see why? Can you be more precise of why feeling is completely removed from the will of God and why they’re not identical? -
I used to weigh almost 300 pounds and now I weigh 160 and it’s impossible for me to gain weight Your goal should be to build muscle and become athletic and by doing so you’ll build something you can’t lose If you focus on trying to lose weight you’re not gaining something permanent Also high-quality sleep, avoiding weight gain toxic chemicals and eating high protein is the easiest way. And if you’re not sleeping properly the body gets stuck into a fat retention state

Most people that are chronically obese live in heavily scented homes with air fresheners, creating hormonal problems that make them obese.

yes, Sora is better, one of the reasons is, you can see the top images being generated that are high-quality and remix Remix is one of the more powerful features You could also see the prompts people use to generate higher quality images, so it’s good for learning and adapting good prompts to new purposes
