it has too much power and has the potential to be a dangerous force bc of its power. currently its exerting a lot of pressure onto politics

yeah the current models have improved significantly actually im surprised. like compared to when gpt3.5 came out and now it's a world of difference. still maybe 2-3 years to go but it's definitely not useless anymore like it was when it first came out

all the soft skills you learn will be used at the very least. networking and group-work, study strategies like prioritization or time management, problem solving and critical thinking. the degree and gpa also highly contribute to a good future as well. so what you're doing right now is extremely critical for a good future. and some technical information you learn, will be used in the real world as well. some classes more than others, but some - a lot of it will come up again. you can also find ways to make the process enjoyable. for example, you can use the classes as an opportunity to teach it to others and help others (which is a valuable skill and also a form of active learning (Feynman method) so will help you on exams). or you can challenge yourself to develop your productivity skills, which is a non-negotiable skill for life. also drawing on your big picture goal through visualization and contemplation can generate motivation which you should continuously recall

I'm dipping lol

the andrew tate thing was interesting. i think that's part of their purpose to weaken the left. if voices like tate run around, it makes it harder for the left to fight back and gets the alt-right a stronger voice

trump running it down mid

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

@Thought Art

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
