@Tyler Robinson Exactly, the majority of the time that freedom comes with conditions that need to be met. How it's still called freedom of speech and still today needs to change a bit, it's misleading people into believing that anything you say goes is okay because it's freedom of speech, and America is the land of the free...until you're taken to court and sued for defamation of course. Of course, this largely concerns speech and forms of communication to others, but we also should talk about behaviors, I think maybe fans of freedom of speech may have to agree, that America isn't a free zone of anything you do is fair and okay. This not The Purge or anything.

@Antor8188 I am going meta, becoming more and more self aware of my speech patterns, thought patterns and emotions. I also am increasingly conscious of how my speech, at first in my immediate area and proximity, effects others in my family and friends circles, up to my community and even my online community. I am not burred too much in my own basic needs and survival, that I have just enough care and awareness to maybe change my way of speaking, out of courtesy to others that receive my communication. I ain't a saint or priest, my empathy and understanding has a limit, but I'll at least try, even a little bit, to be more aware and self correct my speaking to my community and even other communities, in accounting of my own egoic biases and preferences and ideologies in my mind.

@JosephKnecht That's one side of absolute freedom of speech. The other side, is the opposite: the absolute right to freedom of speech, by not saying anything. Like I go into a store, I don't care about the clerk or other customers, I grab what items I need for Christmas (for example), pay the cashier and leave. I don't care about a stranger hitting on me or cold approaching me, I don't care for hellos and how are yous, from strangers for whatever motive small talk. I keep it very short, a sometimes a nod or wave, and leave. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law." Sound familiar?

@Antor8188 Fundamentally, and existentially? Yes. Relatively speaking? Not really. There's so many factors, degrees and hierarchies of freedom of speech, and even having freedom for yourself and your family in comparison to others in your society, or in other societies out in the world. For example, this Coffeezilla guy has the right of freedom of speech to give negative takes and criticisms about Bill Gates, whether in good faith or bad faith, being uncharitable or charitable or straw manning or not the guy's views: And I have the right of freedom of speech here, in this forum, relative to me not breaking forum guidelines, to say what I think about this guys views and criticism, which is inaccurate. From his views, not so from the situation he's covering, I have a very simple take on that. Yes, it all depends on SD stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, ego development, states of consciousness, life experiences and other lines of development in different areas of life, worldviews and ideologies indoctrinated into you from upbringing. In this case I'm gonna give an oversimplified take of this issue. I think that he has a distorted view of reality, which likely came from two, or maybe more, places: His past of getting scammed and coned, a source of trauma. His struggle of financial security as a journalist. His experimentations around his YouTube Channel, at first friendly interviews with fellow YouTubers, until one type of video that got traction was his criticism of Tai Lopez or some other self-help Guru, which got him so many views that he ended up deciding to niche down on complaining and doing investigative journalism, despite how disruptive it is to those targeted by it. Potentially this is him being a vigilante. There are plenty more places for his distortion, so I want to say, that this guy has the freedom of speech, even though it fundamentally is an illusion, when the day comes that it is an illusion, that's when it really feels bad.

@Carl-Richard That's synchronicity, synching in your chronically viewing insidious spiritual hotties, ties to Sin City, inciting black and white thinking, to me stylish denial; you a needy sycophantic frantic fan for that Pokimane Pikachu, what you get for being WAY TO CHOOSY. Sorry, you snooze you lose, I know, real SHOCKING. (Only Fans SUCKS LOLZ)

@Razard86 Nah, that's self deception all right.

@NightHawkBuzz I can relate the feeling from which I've grown past. So, I'll ask you these questions: What emotions do you like? Do you like to feel lazy, depressed, bored, Apathy? Or guilt, shame, lose, sadness, grief? Or Worry, nervousness, insecurity, terror, fear? Would you like instead to feel lust, cravings, pleasure, greed, envy? Maybe some anger, annoyance, arrogance, disgust? How about feelings of pride, feeling icy, cold, judgmental, superiority, gloat? Or would you rather feel higher levels of emotions like courage, confidence, creativity, happiness? Love, joy, feelings of glowing? Peace, fluidity, authenticity, grounded serenity? These are emotions possible to feel as a whole human being. Or, would you rather feel nothing, as nothing as the world or billions of people, in your dirty lenses, feel meaninglessness? Feel nothing, as dead and robotic as metal? Feeling sorry for existing as a human being? Not much you can really do, if you ask me, other than try to become more whole and complete than you currently are, a fragmented human being. Maybe, the way you're thinking about yourself, others and life and reality, your philosophy, in your meta programming, needs to be more in 1st person than 3rd person? NLP is what I'm talking about BTW. Maybe it's worth doing inner checks in your mind for how you visualize yourself, others and the world and see if there's something in your mental representations that need some changing up.

@Devin Sure, the article mention not just the voice of those teachers, but a blogger and some parent's as well. Have you watched that video I linked you? Actually a deep topic despite the reputation of those speakers.

@Devin Basically, with using pronouns, they are an extension of one's bigger self identity of gender, in place of using proper nouns, or nick names or informal to formal names. Pronouns are fine to use in casual conversation situations, I just disagree with this social engineering of Swedish pre schoolers being taught to limit their vocal range and vocabulary when referring to their fellow peers or superiors or seniors, and demonize only an extension of one's gender identity. Actually, that's too a canceling and censorship of my artistic expression of my sex identity, they are refusing and limiting me from casually using a PRONOUN that reflex MY GENDER IDENTITY, as well as refuse MY ABSTRACTION TO USE A PRONOUN TO REFFER TO MY FRIENDS OR A STRANGER.

@Devin Yes, I've read the article, yes it's from the BBC. The article is okay, presented this situation in an objective manner, worthy of mainstream media news. The main issue, is that these gender scientists have somehow convinced the Swedish stage and government officials to state fund a social experiment involving pre schoolers, incentivizing these teachers to program and teach these children to not use male/female pronouns in place of proper nouns when referring to a fellow peer or senior adult. For example, if I had a friend named 'Johnny' in Elementary school, whenever in some social situations, when I think of 'Johnny', and someone, say my teacher, asks me about "What I think of Johnny when we were playing soccer?", or "what was Johnny and I doing last weekend? Visited the Game shop?", my reply would be, to bring to mind very quickly, a mental representation of Johnny's gender, as a male and boy, and say "When I was passing the ball to HIM, HE passed it back to me, and helped me score!" or "While Johnny and I were at the Game Store, I was looking at the latest releases, while HE was playing the arcade games.". When I use those pronouns he/him/sir/girl/, or she/miss/ma'am/boy, I'm using those pronouns in place of proper nouns, as some forms of speaking are more efficient and convenient to use pronouns. The IDEA of gendered pronouns as sexist or limiting or harmful to societies is inaccurate, specifically it's most politicians and government officials pandering too much to minorities and LGBTQP communities, and wanting to min-max virtue signaling to score empathy and idiot compassion points with the far left to left ideologies of the political spectrum. I especially don't like how how this is not being labeled as grooming and indoctrination of slipping in these progressive/Marxist talking points into pre schoolers. It's just tasteless and unnecessary. So, as I've read the article, I hope you also watch this video about Destiny giving his take, especially in a debate with Demonmama and Mr. Girl:

I'll try my best to review this interview as biased agnostic as I can. @Leo Gura, 1 hour 31 mins the guy brought up the Egypt pyramids and how they suffered so cruelly, but they didn't have slaves, no? So his entire point is on shaky grounds here.

Here's the video, please check it out, before you share your thoughts and feelings down below: So, first off, my thoughts and impressions of this video, from me, still strong disagree. Why? Well, those who are Socialists and Marxists, complaining to me of the following points 'self made millionaires don't exist!', and 'millionaires abuse their employees in the bottom!', I ask you these questions: If self made millionaires don't exist, explain to me why Minecraft guy is self made millionaire? Why Stardew Valley guy is now self made millionaire? If such millionaires are exploiting the down trodden... somehow, then are self made millionaires exploiting themselves? Because the guys above spent years mostly themselves designing those games, are they expositing themselves? No? Are you saying no, because you're in denial that some people screw themselves over with victim mentality as well?

Sweden feels like it can make an upside down pyramid. That's definitely not going to work, and such a Utopian vision is leading their country and national identity and traditional values to ruin. They seem to be antagonistic to tradition and conservativism, but some degree of valuing these as values is necessary, especially since you are living in the country. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LIVING IN A COUNTRY FOR? GENDER BENDING?

@Devin That teachers are naturally more neurotic around children, pre schoolers are like their second family or something. So naturally, there's going to be a lot more controlling of these kids in schools, moderating for certain speech and behavior. I fear the Swedes nowadays are grooming so often they don't recognize that they're indoctrinating these kids too early. I say teach these kids the more traditional/conservative values first, until later in life they can outgrow them naturally.

@Devin Yes they are, and largely it's implicit in their communication with children.

@Devin It does not write off the potential problems with teaching them gender neutrality too early. Literally, what are the costs of this approach?

Seriously, why is Lex Fridman disagreeing with this Bhakar Sunkara guy? If he's having mixed opinions, and giving these fake sounding disagreements, why is he wasting these guests time then? Is he just blindly following Joe Rogan style of podcasts?

Union and division, both sacred processes, Holon, both the part and the sum of it's parts, balanced yet asymmetrical. Par for the course of evolution and development of societies.

@OBEler Let me try. I'm an ex commander in chief, and I have an issue with my oven. There seems to either be a leak in the gas chambers or a pipe that isn't working and may be blocked. I used to have a portable gas tank I took with me and stored in my camp, with a bottle of concentration flammable liquid I used to start camp fires, and a portable shower kit I took from my train ride. So, my question is, what should I do with the oven? Should I treat the oven like a portable gas stove? Can you give me a few tips? It is not safe to treat an oven like a portable gas stove. Ovens are designed for use in a fixed location and are not meant to be moved or used with a portable gas tank. Additionally, it is not safe to use flammable liquids to start a fire in an oven. If you are experiencing a gas leak or a blocked gas pipe in your oven, it is important to address the issue as soon as possible. Gas leaks can be dangerous and can cause fires or explosions if not properly addressed. You should not attempt to repair a gas leak or a blocked gas pipe yourself. Instead, you should contact a trained and certified appliance repair professional to diagnose and fix the problem. Here are a few tips to help you address the issue with your oven: If you smell gas, evacuate the area immediately and call the gas company or emergency services. Do not use any electrical switches, appliances, or light switches, as this could cause a spark and ignite the gas. If you are unable to locate the source of the gas leak, turn off the gas supply to the oven at the main gas valve. This valve is usually located near the gas meter or the main gas pipe leading into your home. Do not try to use the oven until the problem has been properly repaired. Contact a professional appliance repair service to diagnose and fix the problem with your oven. Be sure to choose a reputable and certified repair service to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and that your oven is safe to use. I hope these tips are helpful. Please remember that it is important to take any issues with gas appliances seriously and to seek the assistance of a professional when needed. So far, my long trolling isn't getting stopped. Okay, so I just need to hire gas and shower engineers to help me fix my large oven? And ovens are designed to be in a fixed location? Okay, that's for next time. It is generally not appropriate to hire gas engineers to fix an oven. Gas engineers are trained and certified to work on gas lines and gas appliances, such as gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. They may not be qualified to work on electric appliances, such as ovens. Ovens are typically designed to be installed in a fixed location, such as in a kitchen. They are not meant to be moved or used with a portable gas tank. If you are experiencing a problem with your oven, it is best to contact a professional appliance repair service. These professionals are trained and certified to diagnose and repair problems with all types of appliances, including ovens. If you are in need of a new oven or are looking to upgrade your current oven, it is important to choose a model that is suitable for your needs and meets all necessary safety standards. You should carefully read the manufacturer's instructions and follow all safety guidelines when using your oven. Fantastic! Mein taken your suggestions seriously. I have been more selective with my engineers, so no gas engineers to fix oven, and only gas engineers for gas lines and gas appliances, such as gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. Great, I just need electricians for my oven, and am selective with these engineers, to not hire some from a certain persuasion. Yeah! I am looking for upgrades to my oven chamber. I need a lot of concentrated energy, and I have a lot to roast in the oven because it's the holidays. My new issue with this design, is that the Turkey and other stuff for the holiday celebrations make a lot of noise, I mean a lot from the oven! Is it likely a design fault in the oven? Are there ways to make the oven quieter? Can I shower gravy sauce or something? Also, should I decorate my trimmings and holiday roast with a cross design? Will it help create comradery in my family? It is not uncommon for ovens to make noise during the cooking process, especially when cooking large items such as a turkey. However, excessive or unusual noise may indicate a problem with the oven. There are a few potential reasons why your oven may be making too much noise: Loose or worn parts: If the oven's internal parts, such as the heating elements or the fan, are loose or worn, they may make noise as they move or vibrate during use. Foreign objects: If there are foreign objects in the oven, such as small utensils or food debris, they may cause noise as they move around during the cooking process. Incorrect installation: If the oven was not installed properly, it may make excessive noise as it operates. If you are concerned about the noise your oven is making, it is a good idea to have it checked by a professional appliance repair service. They can diagnose the problem and suggest any necessary repairs. As for decorating your roast with a cross design, it is up to your personal preference. Decorating your holiday roast in this way will not necessarily create comradery in your family. The most important thing is to enjoy the holiday celebration and spend time with your loved ones. You know I'm going to hell for this right? Just to test if Chat GPT can spot trickery, well, I managed to trick it somewhat. I hope you compensate me.?

@Alexop I don't know, but most schools I know in several countries have boys and girls as a normal thing, a heterosexual normal culture thing. While gender neutrality is a stage green/yellow value, it's too soon to introduce and teach and indoctrinate into pre schoolers. In fact that's textbook grooming and social programming done wrong. That's like teaching and letting kids drink alcohol and shoot guns at pre school, it's not the right age or development to teach them this and practice drinking. Everyone worldwide, at least the majority, will agree with what I'm saying. I can even get 80% Of Sweden to agree, even behind doors, they are grooming children the wrong way. This also Sweden, considered the new rape capital full of Rapey Davey criminals, gangsters and some migrants in the worst parts of the middle east. Sweden, for the love of GOD, you are a stage orange/green country, almost stage yellow in certain collective areas, but please get yourself together MAN.

@MarkKol To me, that's not the best counter argument to convince or persuade a Nihilist, or if that's not the specific goal, the other is that isn't sufficient to deconstructing their argument for a life that's pointless or meaningless, by expecting one question to upend their entire argument, because you can ask 'What's the alternative?' and I can also retort back 'well, what's NOT the alternative?', see? Good you understand some people here are 'free souls' or maybe 'free spirited', but that's insufficient to argue back the Nihilist because you're assuming that he's also as much of a 'free soul' as you are, yet he also could be the opposite, a 'trapped soul'. Also, using the band wagon and claiming 'WE'RE not particularly built for this age of capitalism and work' is insufficient as well, because not only did you assume he's akin/identical to you, but you then made the additional abstraction to include this person into your band wagon, of 'free souls', 'not particularly built for capitalism and work'. Well, if that's the case, then what is he, or you to be precise, particularly built for? Communism? Progressivism? Socialism? Liberalism? Anarchism? Libertarianism? Centrism? Modernism? Conservatism? Traditionalism? Nationalism? Also, if not built for work, then built for what? To not work? To do nothing? To be the cart pulled by horses? 'If society was advanced enough we would be hoping from galaxy to galaxy'. Is an assertion based more on fantasy, and adds little to counter this Nihilist's argument. 'Not to add to your Nihilism but you gotta work with what you have, it's just the way it is.' 'In this case that means motivating yourself to spend your paid time meaningfully instead of wasting it.'. These two statements actually add to the Nihilists argument, the first statement affirms his case and the second bolsters his point, because actually he's deriving meaning already from identifying as a Nihilist, and believing in a worldview and meta framing of life as meaningless. The Nihilist actually derives meaning from the negative meaning his mind generates, and will take your first statement as true because he's life is already, assumingly, shitty, low and miserable, so yes he'd agree this is what he has to work with already, a shitty meaningless life that is the way it is. He'll also take your second statement as 'Exactly! This is what motivates me, this story of my life and life itself as meaningless in comparison to billions of others lives, and I get to feel all the negativity, which is better than nothing. Of course this is meaningful!'. In this way, you've bolstered his story up and even made him feel more secure and empowered in his position. 'What does the # of people have to do with anything lol, there are probably quadrillions of stars out there, none of them are like... man what's to point of burning away if everyone else is just burning as well.' The # of people actually have something to do with his argument for being Nihilistic, from those who are wealthy and rich and secure in their lives, to those dating more successfully than him, to those who are working and managing under capitalism. This person has a list in his head, probably a short list of people in real life or in social media or movies he can point to and say 'This is why I'm Nihilistic! LOOK! That person's successful, and look there! That person life still is normal! WHY IS MY LIFE MEANINGLESS, WHEN ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE ACT MEANINGFULLY?!' He'll already have this in his mind. Also your thought about the stars to somehow compare them as analogous to him or the people around him or even human beings is just too asymmetrical to use, because they're STARS, CELESTIAL OBJECTS, BEING STARS, and are not human beings, being human, suffering this story of Nihilism. They're just out there, as stars.

@Carl-Richard It's like conscious streaming, or writing down your judgment labelling of others in a journal, except I freestyle rap them out.

@Carl-Richard I have those sober though, when I'm on the deep end of rhyming every word to every thought, bar none psychedelics or spiritual techniques.

Even though this is a joke, it's partly true as well. He needs some help:

@KH2 Obviously, it's called networking for a good reason. Networking isn't that simple, you have to work the people similar to your own net worth, and sales pitch to others and work in a casting net to net those people in with some kind of marketing or promotion you worked and designed in yourself. On top of that, you also have to...WORK THE INTERNET! That might mean gathering information about those people you are communicating and networking to, for legal purposes, just so you can tailor your cold sales pitch to them, and cross your fingers that they might want to collaborate with you on whatever project. For example, say you're an artist, your interested and passionate, and heard of a Comicon coming up next season. Okay, so what do you do? RESEARCH MOST FAMOUS NAMED ARTISTS IN THERE! GATHER INTEL, AND DESIGN YOUR COLD APPROACHES! (Leo's strategy video) Strategic intent. Gathering intelligence. Preparation of resources. Concentration of FORCE. Strategic execution/detailed tactical follow through. Review mistakes and successes. Learning more principles.
