@NoSelfSelf but who am I kidding if I say I don’t need beautiful women in my life? I would only kid myself and others pretending I don’t want it while I want it.

@NoSelfSelf I wish I could flip a switch and turn my self worth from extrinsic to intrinsic. Compared to last year my self worth is based more internally than last year. I don’t have issues with accepting that I’m still attached to the external.

It should be coming from self worth and that has to be authentic. Also what people respect is very shallow. Once I saw clearly what people respect I thought why shouldn’t I be worthy of that? Healthy arrogance / pride (or whatever you call it) shouldn’t be a persona but it a healthy effect from how you look at the world and yourself.

@Leo Gura that is why LP is so important I guess. Not only LP but one’s vision in general.

Like Leo's old opener: "heeeeeEEEEeey" Or other YouTubers who use the same opener all the time. For example: "Hi, my beautiful friends" Or in the like. To me it is very annoying. It comes across gimmicky.

I'm IT already but more the business aspect of it (IT project management) and other IT subjects. Lately I have been fascinated about AI and I see huge potential. I believe it is the next bitcoin thing but I think AI will be much more explosive than bitcoin. Massive wealth and opportunities are coming in our direction and we are at the butt crack of dawn of it. So how would I go about it? My first impulsion is this Learn the basics: algorithms, machine learning and AI theory Go deeper into programming Study AI legalization Eventually I want to provide AI solutions to businesses: such as AI controlled help desks https://www.advantageitm.com/blog/3-ways-your-business-can-take-advantage-of-artificial-intelligence To become a programmer one doesn't need any credentials. Do you think this will also count for AI programmers? Any other people who are in the business of AI?

Is this possible on the iPhone? It doesn’t allow it. Even if you use the browser version instead of the app version. Browser version actually sucks and doesn’t save all the recordings. What is the best device for mobile note taking?

She is giving you something that you are not giving to yourself and that is why you are resentful. If you wait until you figured out life you can wait a whole life time. Problems will never stop coming. It is about how you deal with the problems: avoiding versus confronting.

I wasn't saying that we are judging orange but some kind of judgement (in the general sense) is integral in the human experience unless you are fully enlightened and I don't think there is a fully enlightened person on this forum. Is it possible to simp if a person is fully tier 2, for example a fully integrated SD yellow person? I feel like simping will weed itself out once you approach tier 2. At least that is my exp. Simping is a lot of projection and focusing on the external. I think SD yellow has enough self-awareness and insight to see through this neurosis.

@Thought Art The sports I do I do purely to test my theory of mastery in practice. That is why I don't look at a person's value system (SD stage), I'm pretty unbiased and unprejudiced when tapping into knowledge. For me this just counts for sports but also counts for dating and social skills. That is why some people don't understand me on this forum. I put a wall between a person's value system and what I can learn from that person in terms of mastery. If you find his work inspirational you should keep watching him. Inspiration is a good indicator. People get inspired by different things so there is no value judgement in that.

Pumping muscles is just pumping muscles. I don’t see how SD is related or has any relevance for body building. A SD blue dude doesn’t have to give bad fitness advice compared to a SD orange dude. This is a disservice to the model. Anyway, I’m not into body building but I do different sports.

Does something really have intrinsic value considering solipsism and that value is in the eye of the beholder? This would mean that nothing has intrinsic value.

The difference between a search engine and AI is that you can have a dialogue with AI. I’m using the Socratic method and various other tools to contemplate about various topics and it is mind boggling what insights that I get from AI. I’m surprised it is not talked about it on this forum. Talking to AI is like talking a super scientist or artist. It is not that advanced to be an oracle but it is in the footsteps of becoming it. A person is the average of the people he hangs out with. Just imagine AI becoming mainstream and integral part of education. That would mean the new generation of humans will be heavily influenced the source of intelligence that AI will provide in people’s life. I have been using AI for only couple of weeks and I can already recognize how it has shaped and formed my consciousness.

Pickup is natural. Most people don't even have to learn it because they learn it in kindergarten: it is called "play"! If you a hard time, it is most likely because you don't know how to play in the broadest sense of the word. Another word for play is learning. You learn through playing. And this can't be learned from a book. Yes, there is a field called game theory and it can be applied to dating and many other fields. But game in its fundamentals is more of an art than a science. If are not good at playing, the process should be about removing the stuff within yourself that is sabotaging it, rather than adding stuff which makes stuff more clocked up. Creating the right circumstances for play is paramount, which is power rather than force. Play can be forced, rather it must be cultivated which is an art. A lot of pickup material doesn't address this key point. I think pickup stuff is still useful though because they give you some structure, exercises and infields which cuts the learning curve. RSD transformation somewhat focuses on this: letting go of stuff and cleaning up the consciousness so you can be in the now and thus be spontaneous and high energy.

ChatGPT is limited to 20 conversations?

@Roy everybody does it so it looses its effectiveness.

Rocky. Perhaps you can ask AI how to stop strawmanning people. ? Strawmanning is a common fallacy in which someone misrepresents or oversimplifies an opponent's argument in order to make it easier to attack. Here are some steps you can take to avoid strawmanning: 1. Listen actively: When engaging in a conversation or debate, make sure you are truly listening to the other person's perspective. Try to understand their argument and their reasoning, and ask clarifying questions if necessary. 2. Steelman the argument: Instead of immediately jumping to conclusions or counterarguments, try to steelman the other person's argument. This means actively working to make their argument as strong and compelling as possible, even if you ultimately disagree with it. 3. Restate the argument: Before responding to the other person's argument, take a moment to restate it in your own words. This can help you ensure that you have truly understood their position and that you are not misrepresenting it. 4. Address the actual argument: When responding to the other person's argument, make sure you are addressing the actual argument they have presented, rather than a simplified or exaggerated version of it. This means engaging with their reasoning and evidence, rather than attacking a strawman. 5. Avoid assumptions: Avoid making assumptions about the other person's beliefs or motivations. Instead, focus on the argument itself and try to engage with it on its own terms. 6. Acknowledge common ground: Even if you ultimately disagree with the other person's argument, try to acknowledge any areas of common ground or shared values. This can help to build a more productive and respectful conversation. 7. Practice empathy: Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes and understand their perspective. This can help you to approach the conversation with more empathy and understanding, and can help to avoid strawmanning. By following these steps, you can work to avoid strawmanning and engage in more productive and respectful conversations and debates.

In my opinion curiosity is a desire for knowledge. And in the Buddhist, Christian and other religions, desire is seen as a sin and the root of all suffering. So it is kind of weird. If you are in ignorance, you have to desire something (desire knowledge) to get out of desiring it and finding it in yourself. Even desiring knowledge can be an addiction. Trying to cross new boundaries to find new enlightenment just to find out there is another boundary. It kind of reminds me of Alexander the Great who crossed boundaries, to conquer new areas only to find a new boundaries. Being overly curious is the same thing, you are trying to find the bottom but there is no bottom. This is why there is no ultimate enlightenment in my opinion. Personally I’m a very curious person and it brought me good things but in an equal amount it brought me bad things. Curiosity should only be allowed in moderation just like any other desire.

Is it up to par with the book Mastery by Leonard?

@r0ckyreed dude I’m saying the same thing. Just in different words. I’m contemplating, and she (AI) is just assisting in the process. It is idd a top to bottom relationship with the human being at the top. You need guru's in in the beginning of the journey and you want them by your side as you as you need them until you don’t and then you can kill the Buddha/guru I just prefer to have one because I’m not in the business of reinventing the wheel.

Desire is something that is outside of yourself, so you can't reach enlightenment by desiring it because enlightenment is not outside of yourself but inside of yourself. The parable of the Ten Ox-herding Pictures explain this very well. Source: https://www.sloww.co/zen-ten-bulls-oxherding-pictures/ Desire should only by used as a vehicle for progress. In the same way curiosity should be used as a vehicle. Just being curious for curiosity sake is not that smart because there is no bottom to the barrel.

Illusions are part of that reality as much as your so called truths.

If you have not tried AI and you have an opinion about it you are just an idiot because you don’t know what you are talking about. If you have tried AI and you are not starstruck you just don’t know how to use it. Or your development is just not that high for you to reap the benefit. AI can only support what you already are. It can’t carry you. You have to take the lead and she (AI) can only follow you. If you truly want to take advantage of AI you need to be SD stage yellow. AI really blossoms consciousness at this stage.

@zurew those are some fun lines to use but I think it is like using pickup lines. At a certain point you need to let go of that and just go with the flow to have a good dialogue whether with a human or AI. Having classical thinking skills helps me. I used the search engine and I could find anything in relation to AI and contemplation.
