the next paradigm relative to the current one (evolution essentially) for example, addressing issues that come with climate change and making initiatives to switch to clean energy. society was focused on industrial advancement, at the cost of the environment, and then 'woke' would be noticing the issues of that and addressing it

i get the same thing. strange how it works. socializing feels like eating food. i faintly remember studies that show that loneliness is actually deadlier than smoking in the long-run?

Musk Says He’ll Rehire DOGE’s Marko Elez After Racist Posts https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2025/02/07/musk-says-hell-rehire-doges-marko-elez-after-racist-posts-heres-what-to-know-about-agency/ one of his employees made extremely racist comments about indians which went viral. he resigned after the news and musk rehired him. some comments "Normalize indian hate", supported repealing the civil rights movement, eugenics, and more

@LambdaDelta yeah and adding onto this i found that using mindfulness and cbt techniques very valuable. they help ease the mind in social situations. i've also noticed though that there are many modalities that can help, so doesn't necessarily need to be mindfulness/cbt on top of this also i noticed that self-esteem work can be important too, as sometimes we may have some negative inner beliefs that affect our social competence. so those definitely need to be challenged and replaced. having good self-esteem can actually aid in your comfort in social situations also consider the ethics and "goodness" aspect of socializing. like having integrity, being good, having EQ and empathy. social skills is actually a huge topic. i find it very interesting how large it is

in investing, diversifying your portfolio is also an important principle

@RendHeaven thats a good point. studies at the end of the day measure averages, still i feel this this idea should be implemented strategically, it does come with a lot of risks to give up socialization

I could see socializing sometimes getting in the way of pursuing certain goals. But even then relationships can help in those domains, which would require high levels of social skills I also think socializing is tied to biology, harvard's longest study found that relationships were the #1 source of happiness

is this a real comment lol

i'd definietely keep that passion for learning but put it toward things that will help you something practical that will benefit you for example learning advanced calc would be valuable for students wanting to be a professor or specialized stem fields whereas learning real estate might help you be more financially secure in the long-term

I don't pay. And if I do it's very cheap like a coffee or something. I'm not a fan of traditional gender norms really so if a girl didn't get that i don't think we'd be a fit Never ran into an issue yet Most girls do expect guys to fulfill the role though so there's that. But if you set the vibe early, and explain it casually beforehand most girls are chill about it

Swap the skin colors and see how it sounds > How are you going to tell me what I fear is racist. If I say I fear a black man with a suitcase and a trench coat in an elevator. It just a fear Sounds classic redneck 😭. No hate just saying 😅

Is he pointing to having conscious conversations?

:[

I think yes. Elon Musk has been pushing a lot far-right propaganda and has shown support for fascist leaders through X. A few weeks ago he was trying to normalize and get Tommy Fergurson out of prison, who quite literally was a former leader of a far-right fascist group in the UK lol. He also is pushing for far-right leadership in many european countries.

Me former, everyone else latter. All you need mhm

> that there always come a time where I give up on a certain habit. and then it becomes so much more difficult, than before, to build again. i'd imagine it should be the opposite. each iteration gives you wisdom on the topic and make it easier to implement. like you can gain insight into what worked and didn't work and what to change up for next time though starting up a habit again after you stop can take a decent amount of activation energy , rather than maintaining a pre-existing habit because you need to deal with a change. that could be why you might find it difficult to come back after you drop a habit, however it is completely normal and part of habit changes to deal with that initial resistance

I used to have a mild addiction where id eat out of boredom. for me developing a powerlifting goal helped me to be motivated to eat right and healthy and also gave me things to do. i think it might take several different things outside of just breathing i think. probably a combination of a higher goal that work toward instead & tactics when you get urges i do wonder why this is the case and why this happened. i would assume changing your coping mechanisms to healthier ones should be effective at a first glance. i think figuring out why might help: > The reason of my addiction is boredom but I can't replace it with anything. i would also recommend looking into the field of addiction. it is very well studied. just make sure to find information this is directly applicable for you

trump just did a crypto rug pull worth hundreds of billions on his first day of presidency regarding nazi-ism, maybe watch a World War II documentary with them. I've seen like 30 of those at this point, they can be really effective at ingraining the horrors of Nazism. documentaries paint nazis in a very horrible light (rightfully so ofc) so i think it might sober them up

Not sure if it's been posted already but first day in Trump and Melania run a crypto scam worth hundreds of billions lol HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA this is quite disappointing though. here we have bernie, a dude trying to end billionaires, nearly winning dem primaries and now we got trump who's probably going to severely make the issue worse and benefit the billionaires

@Majed potentially you could find something meaningful within computer science. there is a decent array of career choices within computer science. just a thought

i think it's entirely down to how you respond to hurt. like instead of developing hate or faulty belief systems, using healthy coping mechanisms like mindfulness, processing emotions well, forgiveness exercises, cognitive reframing etc. there's a lot of effective approaches

@jacknine119 nice. Leo has a video on that one too. Very practical book imo

psychology of money is an important one for the mindset aspect of money
