@Carl-Richard So, he's more liberal minded? Makes sense, although when someone attempts to criticize him, he gets defensive and more conservative, especially when called a Narcissist. So, is it just context sensitive?

It's an interesting program, might be useful for generating more interesting questions. Are there other programs that are free?

And this is probably why Leo Gura decided to change his thumbnails for the videos, simply due to easy edits and clips taken out of context.

@Osaid Maybe for the heated debates and arguments, but I think it's relative to each person. In my case, because I still can't effectively debate and argue technically seeking out discussions and initiating debates in a friendly way might help. Just going and practicing the Socratic method, that alone usually does most of the heavy lifting of attacking other positions and defending your own, by asking simple and different types of questions. Of course, many other ways to develop the good life are much better. Better living and improving yourself and your unique qualities than trying to persuade and convince skeptics, although arguably speaking, the experiences of using rhetoric, Socratic method, and the process of convincing and persuading people isn't a wasted experience and skill set. In a different context, that soft skill might be handy in marketing yourself, or talking down a potential fight, or just overall confidence in verbally defending yourself in conversation.

@Carl-Richard As Mr. Girl sometimes says: "Without using spiritual and religious terminology, philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology and psychology can you describe to me what reality is?".

@aurum Aye, are you the user that has the profile picture of a guy with the beach and shore?

What is religion? What does Destiny actually stand for?

@aurum I'm worried about some spelling mistakes and grammatical errors here and there you are making. Is it the auto correct?

@Brent Rothwell How long does that roughly take? 3 years? Should it be short or long videos at first?

@Danioover9000 To add more detail to this, I still have an LP or mission/vision statement that's here: generalized purpose: Understanding life, to be a creator and contribute to the world. Specialized purpose: To be a graphics designer, illustrator, architecture, writer/comic creator, and indie dev for maybe visual novel games. Domain of mastery: drawing characters and environments in many perspectives, using mostly pencils/pens. top 10 values: Competency, understanding, consciousness, creativity, independence, uniqueness, excellence, health, beauty, enlightenment, spirit. 5 feelings a day: serenity, happiness, excitement, optimism, pride, confidence, creativity. my top strengths: Appreciation of beauty and excellence, curiosity, love, gratitude, hope, kindness. Zone of genius(work in progress): Imagination, visualization, 3d thinking, video game thinking, chess, writing and constructing stories, drawing, rapping and freestyle rapping. My role modals: Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Bruce Lee. My goals list is long, so I won't include them here. Here are a few questions: Should I revisit and modify my life vision, my mission statement? I'm feeling less aligned with some of the values and slightly less of the emotions I want to feel. Should I keep brainstorming to go outside my niches? Or do I hyper specialize into a broader niche, or hyper specialize into a well established niche? For example, the Fatal Frame game's creator wanted the scariest game possible, so he used parts of his personal life, of seeing ghosts as they appear to him, and in a time with fixed camera angles in console games, he decided to use the concept of a camera, to change from 3rd person fixed angles to 1st person shooter, through the camera, to take a exorcising picture of ghosts. The game design resulted in an actually scary and suspenseful feeling of horror for gamers, because they don't have enough film reels to reload the camera, so they have to observe and wait and time a 'fatal frame' to use combos against ghosts for max damage, but sometimes it's hard to get the timing and fucking hell the ghost designs are creepy and scary! Should I go the similar route of Andrew Tate, and hustle my life purpose into manifestation?

Please post what your thoughts and feelings about the short comings of Lex Fridman. During his podcast with Coffeezilla, he made some interesting remarks of another peron, using their face in a thumbnail without their expressed permission while make 'false' claims of their character:

@Leo Gura Maybe it is a joke, or it could be serious in TechLead's eyes. I don't know enough either. I know enough, that in a few places in the USA, a person can legally charge a person for taking a photo of them or their face without permission, aka photo bombing or photo crashing, yeah? I guess I'm fixated on this issue because I've experienced a different kind of scam/theft involving identity, so I'm extra sensitive to any subtle thefts. I also like my face, and don't like the idea of someone using my face in public without asking. It's like I used your face, without letting you know, in a reactionary video, whether it's negative or positive context. in a public space, gaining monetization and free marketing from using your face in a click baiting title that may be misleading. Does it bother you a little bit?

@Stovo That's his worldview in general, and in some contexts it can be useful if your competing against those who also want to outcompete and out value generate you in your specific niche. I think it's more likely he's conversion to Islam is a publicity stunt, he's only doing that for more marketing and attention.

@Oeaohoo Technically, all that is still relative to one's stage of development, cognitive and moral development, ego development, personality typing, life experiences per area of life and other lines of development and circumstances. Also, it depends on one's mind, what worldviews it has, indoctrinations in it's upbringing, shadow aspects from it's family, and self bias and preferences and what senses it likes to process more. So, If I'm a conservative, I'd view relativism with some close mindedness and defensiveness, because relativism follows with it moral relativism, which can challenge and attempts to detach moral absolutists frameworks, traditional and religious moral constructions enforced culturally throughout times and generations. However, if I'm more liberal minded, I'd view relativism with some open mindedness and less defensiveness, as the moral relativism that follows is antagonistic to the traditional norms and absolutist/traditional morality, which is bias opposition to this view, especially if I also identify as progressive/socialist or even communistic. Plus, If I'm a business minded stage orange person, I'd view this for the potentials and efficiency of how this relativism can increase my productivity and profits, and how I can set up these transactions to leverage that. If I'm more stage green values, I'd view this relativism as good for the down trodden, and a force against the bourgeois class of rich and their moral mechanisms. If my value set is more stage blue or even stage red, I'm going to try to control, manipulate and exploit this relativism for amassing a following that I can gain a cult following, and benefits from. Also, If I'm cognitively different, if my mind is more Schizophrenic minded, how I think of relativism will be more different than the normal range of cognition of the masses, my mind would likely more literally interpret whatever interpretations of Relativism. If I have a bipolar disordered mind, then I'd be talking and thinking more in the lines of Kayne West, jumping and abstracting several topics without properly resolving each thread idea.

@Stovo Relatively speaking, I don't see too much wrong in him having more stage red values, but it's more stage blue and orange. Also nothing wrong with the overreaction, at least we know more when some people react or not.

SO! Returning to the main theme of this thread, should Lex Fridman have used TechLead's face without asking for permission? Is it legal and ethical?

Even though @Leo Gura made distinctions between the conservative mind and liberal mind, in reality, some peolle have a bit of both conservative and liberal parts of a mind. All depending on context, and his video mainly discusses the conservative mind first in a political context, and then proceeds to list hundreds of examples of a conservative mind in some other contexts, it's important to note that the mind can also vary between conservative or liberal. A mind can open and be opening to feedback or ideas or alternatives, but also can close and be closing down to other ideas or possibilities that it perceives as threatening, for good reason. Asymmetrical yet balanced.

@mr_engineer Yes, that's pretty offensive, and a shame, the book looked nice. What did the book ever do to you bro? #bookslivesmatter.

@Romanov Atheism is the new religion because most atheists are not aware that they have constructed their self identity, and the majority of atheists believe in an abscence of God, and for the most part only follow those who are persuasive and convincing in their rhetoric and argumentation, and quickly deffer to authority in terms of Science and scientific advances. Because of how mucb more efficiently Science corrects itself as a modal than religion, the big bang, human brain and evolution of life modals are worshipped largely in modern society. All this because of the stage of development, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, ego development, life experiences and other lines of development. Worldviews, beliefs systems, and indoctrination in one's upbringing are significant factors.

@Oeaohoo Yes, no more conserving, only serving! Now serve me some liberal amounts of breakfast!?

@mr_engineer catchy dance moves and catchy music, for 60 seconds and less. Mainly because the tech companies and those running the companies are smart enough to know how to hijack the limbic system of the brain, and take advantage of dopamine hits. Along with that knowledge, they also can tailor their algorithms and in most cases the majority of those short to very short videos gets upregulated far more based on views and click and likely emotional triggering topics, over videos with much less click and views potential. And this is just limited to dancing, there are a ton of content mostly entertainment of drawings, sped up paintings, cat videos, edited clips of music and rap songs, jokes, political satire, porn videos, twerking, and so on. All range from 10 seconds, to 15-20, 30 40-50, sometimes 1-2 mins. No, this doesn't contradict Holism, this is also part of the totality within existence, including this social media addiction manufactured by Silicon Valley tech companies, and in this specific case, Hua Wei and Chinese government as soft form of mass moral degradation. Until we have enough on-going research to show stronger correlations of over consumption of social media short edited clips and other forms of social media to negative impacts of brain health and lower IQ to EQ scores generationally. Or, when it's time for America to treat this problem seriously and unify much more the polarized groups.

@Tyler Robinson Quite a few, from encouraging laziness and cheating Andy mentality, to certain types of visual art jobs being made more outdated, and so on. for example, in www.consilienceproject.com, in their technology article Daniel Schmachtenberger talks about how tools, tool sets, technological ecology systems, and technology epochs happen, and a piece of technology can influence how you feel and think. With the invention of cars, that literally shaped how we thought about time travel and journeys, how it opened up other niches of business and commerce involving cars, how we designed environments that are car friendly and car biased more than bicycles or train friendly in the USA compared to town/city designs say in the UK, Europe countries like Holland, or Japan's city designs and so on with every little tool or tech invented, from small and physical like the plow, the scythe, fences, up to the digital like social media platforms like Twitter/Facebook or YouTube, and how their algorithms up or down regulate content and highly successfully caters and curates content towards your biases and preferences to you and your in-group ideologies.

@Scholar So, the specific issues you have for A.I are more localized towards big corporations using these data sets for their own uses, and justifying theft as legal use for their point of view? If an artist found out that parts of his/her image was used without their knowing by A.I and the corporation doesn't give them some credit, but credit mostly placed to the A.I? I feel like we don't have a good definition for what is plagiarism or what is natural studying and copying for growth and mastery. Maybe this is also part of the mass concerns towards A.I image generators taking over certain types of artistic jobs, no? Also, the threats of established self/other constructed identities, for example graphic designers, illustrators, architecture designers, the feeling their self image and purpose dying and stolen by A.I, being the main factor?

The latest Lex Fridman video. Looks interesting, I'm giving it a watch, intuitively feels strange and some conflations being made of communism/socialism/progressivism from the guest, and Lex doing his best not to look bad faith. After giving it a watch, what are your thoughts, impressions, feelings of this discussion? More or less good faith?

@Yog If you don't mind, could you link your friend's account here? I want to see. P.S. Actually nice video! Some type of heavy metal, I think the instrumentals are: An electric guitar, that long trumpet in the opening, either a harmonica or ocarina or some type of piano with that dripping soft sound, plus electro modified vocals I can't even understand, nice scratchy, chaotic and emotionally soft music over all! Also, nice thumbnail art, I can tell it's soft graphite on a rough textured paper. Yes, it's a shame when a person posts artwork that may have some loose connections to a Nazi guy. Even the Swastika was originally a spiritual symbol, the swastik, I think either came from Buddhism or Hinduism.
