@Miguel1 My god if Owen really did that .. Id be so disappointed. I've been getting increasingly annoyed with Owen over the years .. how he treats his son, forcing me to pay for his stuff, buying a course with basically nothing in it, and the list goes on .. But despite all that I still think he's genuine at heart. But let me get this straight, he lost a court case and wiped the assets after that so that he wouldn't get the money or something?? I don't get law that well, but is that the case? That's another level to stoop too.

@Leo Gura This being an example, and other examples I have .. to suggest that trump may not be "THAT" bad? Of course I am not supporting his authoritarian agenda, etc. but every now and then I come across some very important changes his administration is making. I can't tell if this is me being delusional and being caught in my own agenda, or if he is actually making important changes. For ex. deporting illegals, from one perspective I can see as a good thing. So thats sort of 1 good point for him, although its been a bit harsh and inefficient, but generally been fine? Then also I see that his admin is limiting chips to China, which helps US advance in AI, and also some of the de-regulation helps US AI companies advance further than china, which is also good in the case that we don't want an authoritarian regime being far above and leading the world in AI, which would be bad for war, as such a thriving economy and power in china would also trickle into war and military of theirs in many ways. Which is another important 1 more point for Trumps administration? Now I can see this de-regulation thing potentially being a bad thing in terms of just letting companies do whatever they want, further building bigger pockets of AI companies (and possibly trump richer) .. and he likely didnt do this de-regulation because he's protecting national interest (or is he?) .. But I guess overall I'm wondering if my views on Trump being 100% bad is completely accurate? Many things have made me furious in the past like what he's doing with Medicaid, and to the elderly, etc. though.

@Leo Gura well damn .. maybe ill re-consider taking elon's mars flight coming in a few years

@Leo Gura But then you're claiming supply and demand graphs will never have any gaps, or if they do they'd immediately get filled by AI? I'm not sure if you're being hypothetical or posing this as a serious possibility? But also by that logic isn't your job also gone then? And if that really is the case, then how will any of us physically survive, or have a life well-built that survives? I don't think I want to rely on the government for UBI. I mean sure I'll take it but I wouldn't want to rely on that.

@Leo Gura On the opposite end, if we have tons of diverse AI agents at our disposal, incredible polymaths, imagine what we can actualize and create in the world with our vision, good taste, good judgement, utilizing all these agents? And even if there was an AI that could replace the visionary, so what? There's always room in the world to create amazing world-class products. For those who care about building amazing things, I don't see how AI would be a bad thing.

@Leo Gura are there any particular videos you made that opens the creative capacities more than others? I listen to some of those creativity, requisite variety videos from your blog a lot, as that puts me in a creative state before work, but I was wondering if you had any on your channel that is particularly good at that?

@Leo Gura Gotchya .. I guess I asked all that because I know you're able to access certain insights with the mind and tools you have that many of us don't have access to, that could flip my entire way of living inside out lol I'll try my best not to project my fears. I tried to frame it in a way where I'm focusing on the philosophical aspect, and which I am, but the fears do come through sometimes. I'll work on that.

@Natasha Tori Maru its probably like a fish aquarium in her mind .. her very own turd aquarium. Why even flush the toilet at that point?

@Leo Gura Well if we take that lady for example, what that says to me about her psychology is that shes highly emotionalized by that lifestyle. But also you mention objects of luxury, like does having any object of luxury create some sort of deep delusion in your mind? For ex. say you're mostly living a normal life, but you have an Audi S5 sports car. If most of your life is grounded in high conscious principles but you still own such a car does that fall into the category of what you're saying? I guess Im wonder is if any objects of luxury at all create some form of deep delusion or is it the overall emotionalized pursuit of objects of luxury in general.

@Leo Gura Regarding your post on luxury, is that a generalization that luxury is a trap? For ex., I'm not in pursuit of "endless luxury" in the way some rich person is constantly after stuff, etc. I value more higher conscious things above that. I envision living in a normal cabin type house, by the beach, nothing fancy really, but Im sort of applying that practice you mentioned in a video about investing deeply in your space and house, and the joy you get from that, and like setting up an archery space, your own library room, getting into the fine details of building your house the way you'd like, etc. In a sense the pursuit is for creating a space optimal for inner growth, but also for living a good life. Is that so bad if its in pursuit of higher ideals but that incorporates some degree of luxury? Or does any bit of luxury deeply delude you, or any partial pursuit to create an aesthetically pleasing environment for oneself, and that you should aim to remove all luxury from your life lol .. Im mainly just trying to understand your thoughts better.

I'm hoping we share our best, most potent use cases for AI for our lives. I know we all have our own beliefs and emotions about AI, but if we objectively put them aside temporarily, and just practically see how one could effectively use it in their lives, practical input -> output, or investment -> return on that investment, we may come up with some incredible cases. Now I could ask AI but I personally want to know what has actually worked in your life. Anything stands out that just changed, is changing, or has massive potential over time by consistently doing it as a practice? What inspired me to create this was, years after using AI for hours a day, I just discovered one of the most exciting use cases for me: A week ago, I decided to try ChatGPT's advanced voice mode. Now I tried this here and there over the many months, but I never really liked it. Sometimes its monotonic, sometimes it speaks a bit fast, etc. But a week ago, I recall just over the years how Ive learned how powerful reprogramming the subconscious mind is from actualized.org, but I rarely ever take the time to practice visualizations from psycho-cybernetics. I do plan to change that though. So what I thought was let me ask ChatGPT for a highly powerful visualization, one that would give me a strong edge related to health and fitness as I've been trying to change that for years. It spit out the visualization and I was reading it, but it was hard to go deep because reading and visualizing at the same time is a bit difficult. So I lay down, close my eyes, turn on the advanced voice mode and tell it to read it out for me. As it did, I got deep into the visualization. It was really good. After it said it all, I had some refinements and iterations, new ideas I wanted to test to visualize, spoke my refinements, and it took me in a new direction, and in that way I refined my self-image, the environment of the visualization, etc. It's incredible. Since day 2 till today I've been eating 95% healthy because I'm visualizing health and fitness related visualizations with voice mode. I'm so excited to do this every day that I'm getting wired apple earphones (hate apple wireless) so that I can talk back and forth with AI as I go about my day to see what other use cases come from voice mode, and to even do visualizations more often through earphones. Additionally I spent over 1k+ hours in app development with lovable.dev .. Its the best startup Ive ever come across, fastest growing in Europe in history. It allows me to create full scale apps and Ive been hooked ever since. Its actually incredible, and you can get very creative with it, integrate APIs, and do all kinds of unique functionality with it. I listened to 100s of hours of Leos creativity videos to put me in the creative state to build features daily with lovable.dev. Im hoping you guys keep sharing over time your best use cases, the ones that truly impacted you in a positive way. I can see this thread being very powerful as AI advances, and hoping we all could deeply contribute to this over time as technology advances, we as actualization explorers discover new use cases to transform our lives, etc.

@SwiftQuill thats a pretty good list .. Im going to refer to that for my app dev path. I have found chatgpt's assessment of ideas often being hit or miss though in some cases. But for that last, what I personally would do is take one specific item on that last and pass it to the deep research agent. For market research for ex. and competitor research, the deep research agent is orders of magnitude better than ChatGPT regular. In fact ever item mentioned on that list would be way better off with the deep research agent. But the list itself is gold.

@aurum role play scenarios is genius .. although Im not sure where that leads lol but I can sense and intuit its genius

@aurum Thats amazing .. I personally stopped pursuing direct awakening at least for a long while, but I did try going deep on philosophy and just overall higher conscious thinking, but I mostly found that its lacking in intelligence, depth, etc. when it comes to really deep topics. But if you're saying essentially to "push" it to train it in that way, I could give that a try, but so many times I end up finding it lacks depth and intelligence when it comes to wisdom.

@Thought Art I thought they deprecated the old one and just have only the advanced lol .. And Ive been thinking about using it for going meta on my thinking but honestly going meta on my thinking in general is new to me, I dont know what all approaches there are. But I'll have to give that a try.

@Natasha Tori Maru Ive been thinking that lately. Not just who you speak to, but everything around us will soon be made by AI factories. Im trying to just take these next 5 years and really appreciate humans, and the world around that is not made by AI until our world changes. (also speaking as someone who lives and breathes AI right now lol)

@Leo Gura Wow, I didn't even realize how much I needed to hear all this. A lot of good insights here and I'll have to screenshot this for later. I didn't consider this, but this is what I'll exactly do. For years, I cant shake this notion that Truth is this cold, dark, unforgiving, place. I mean I don't know if it is to some degree, but I know my mind is projecting a lot. But Beauty is something I can go after. I can even recognize beauty of consciousness to a small degree even in daily life, so I already have a taste of that. Maybe eventually I can shift more to Truth for its own sake. This also gives me a lot of hope. I thought fear = it's not for me. But now at least I can entertain the possibility that I can slowly reduce that fear. Psychedelics still scare me, but maybe thousands of hours of shamanic breathing, yoga, etc. may open possibilities for a deeper desire for Truth.

@Leo Gura In a lot of these posts related to awakening and truth, these few patterns of thinking keep persisting for me: a) Fear, fear of death, fear of life getting altered, fear of going insane, fear of getting dissociated, a lot of fears, and not just the fears themselves but the actual possibilities of such things happening .. and then b) why? what even is awakening? (if we can never know through thinking, then what are we even after?) .. and shouldn't the why be far greater than the fear, but how can that desire be so high if there's never been an experience of it to actually motivate oneself? .. and I kind of know what you're thinking, that I should want truth for its own sake, and on a relative domain I do, but on an absolute domain, practical things like the fear of death, uncertainty of all kinds prevents it. Also on a different level, there are periods or moments in my life, over the past 10 years, where I'm fearless, and I'm genuinely interested in Truth, but still fear and practical obstacles hold me back a lot. In my early 20s I went after Truth far more intensely (maybe somewhat non-genuine) but I would seriously question reality, take psychedelics, etc. but a lot of that left me dissociated, not discovering anything absolute, etc. and so now I have these fears built up. I guess I'm hoping you could address some of the more practical obstacles over time. I know you cover Truth from Truth's perspective, but its hard to relate to that often from someone with little direct experience.

@Leo Gura yeah makes sense, they need to make a safe 2-person scooter. Would be a good business idea.

@Leo Gura yeah maybe that played out better in my head lol .. I could see it being dangerous. Better yet .. you could get a second scooter for "guests" and then roam the city together. That'd be epic.

@Leo Gura of course .. 1) it expands the territory you can meet girls to even less crowded areas, 2) less walking 3) great date idea if you both are on the scooter like she's behind you if you ride slow

@Leo Gura Lol I know you thought this as being infastructure for game also .. also emphasis on no phone + helmet .. I almost had a bad accident from trying to take a video while riding these.

@Leo Gura Yeah I know that about the government in the events of slow moving day to day stuff in an environment where things matter months and years down the line. But when there's an active oligarchy forming right in front of their eyes, putting a fire everywhere around them, its almost shocking how asleep they are when this in particular is happening.

@Leo Gura Why is the entire government so slow and timid about this? Why cant the entire government bring the same retaliation energy against trump the way he's stepping on everyone's toes?

I have an amazon business, and I was asking my dad who incurs the tariff costs of the new shipment i get from china, he's like of course you do. I looked at him and said "of course, why just hurt the world when you can hurt americans too (trump logic)" That's just my limited interpretation. I have no idea about tariffs.
