Yeah, I'd like to see that, haha. What would the topic be?

After some thought, I think this is a really good solution. I'm going with this!

So if you've reached enlightenment, like the state of Jesus, are you filled with positive energy that you'll like everyone and everything so much?

For me victim mentality was mostly a deep emotional issue where I was afraid of failure. I would therefore maintain a victim mindset to "protect" myself whenever my results couldn't reach a certain standard. This was the result of unconscious negative behavior from my parents, teacher, and peers during my childhood unfortunately which made me ashamed for not being able to be excellent. So apart from identifying why I am reacting as a victim in specific life scenarios and starting to build proper expectations for myself (instead of nonstop comparison), I also had to build courage through massive fucking action in my career and also social life circles. Like Thought Art mentioned, recognizing wins and growth is very important here as I ground myself in a new understanding of myself where the goal is no longer success, but a healthy balance.

Wonder if anyone grew up in a Christian background. Charlie and Erika Kirk are extremely egotistical, they got this holy motherfucking spirit of god ego that basically almost every Church-goer has in the Trump states. I wouldn't say they're evil, they just got this very narrow-minded worldview. If I had to guess, there is definitely no conspiracy here and Erika believes this is some calling from God. What happened to Charlie in her mind relates to Jesus on the cross and all the tragic deaths of apostles and saints throughout Christian history. So if God led you up to this type of path, it would mean you are extremely worthy in His eyes. I believe Trump and Vance also understand this culture very well, and they'll capitalize on this to get every vote they can in the next midterm election.

What keeps me alive............. I think it is a type of drug addiction. I've never taken drugs before, but what I mean is watching Youtube, Netflix, 3A RPG games, porn. Then there's night life, all types of ways you can meet hot girls. Then there are the lesser addictive stuff like sports, traveling, hang out with friends.

I wonder which place is closer to the world you described, a very corrupt third world country or a highly developed city like New York.

Actually we should hope AI succeeds in coding, drawing, and animating. Learning software development is still valuable because AI is not invincible, you still need to find out what went wrong and correct it sometimes. If AI can do these things, then you can start your own game with lower cost. The current most popular games are based on content, style, and vibe. For example, just look at Dispatch (https://www.adhocla.com/), do you think AI can create the main content of this game by itself? Do you think AI can replicate how Aaron Paul talks? No fucking way.

Back in 2016, all my Christian friends told me that Trump was God's chosen to lead America. What can you expect from those lot? Trump will not go down unless the midterm elections next year sway totally in favor of the Democrats. Until then, brace youself!

I believe Elon Musk will spend most of that 1 trillion dollar value in assets to continue to grow Tesla and SpaceX. He's obligated by the board to grow Tesla another 8 times of its current market value and he's accomplished all the board's previous goals assigned to him, no reason to believe why he wouldn't continue to do so. Like Elon Musk or not, he deserves this near 1 trillion payday (in stocks I believe). Also the Tesla brand would fall if he really left the company right now. However from a lot of past experiences with large companies, very few successful companies have branched into another type of product and continued being successful. When a single company starts to branch into and develop all sorts of different types of products, it is normally when the company starts to decline. So we can see if the Tesla robot will work or not. There's a lot of competition in the robot industry, and if Tesla doesn't come on top, we can expect Elon to burn a lot of that capital to keep things running while saying to his audience that his robot will be ready "next year".

The trap to implementing radical acceptance is where you think you don't need to do anything if you've accepted youself. No, that is not it. If you fully accept yourself and your situation, you'll also fully accept that you have a huge ambition to change into something else. This true acceptance of yourself removes all the obstacles between you and massive fucking action!

There's no point for protesting, and ICE's budget is about to double next year. Being able to gather hard evidence and exposing ICE should be enough for now.

What about gaining financial independence in 10 years first? Then pursue your dreams later, you should still be young then.

How did you wake up in the first place? Did you do the same thing to activate that part of your brain again?

So you have no fear of death currently

What if you met Aladdin's genie and had three wishes, could you wish yourself into a happier situation? What would it look like?

Hmm..... but are you able to pull off a painless death? Basically if you die, the "you" as you know it ceases to exist. From your point of view, you will always get your wish no matter what in the end. Probably shouldn't worry about reincarnation, because you totally become someone else. You eventually get dealt with a better hand of cards.

It is politics, I predict a TACO.

You're entirely right, debt is actually money in a way. It's just that the inflation going on the past few years is just crazy!

With the current level of AI technology, I believe that the highest level that AI can perform is limited by the highest level a human can perform. This is because AI can only mimic human behavior and study what humans have already published. AI cannot really invent anything next level by itself if you understand how chatGPT and related AI works. So AI is basically only a machine that can do a higher level of basic stuff faster, its like a computer using a computer for the human. So in the end AI will only replace current levels of mastery that it can learn, while assisting the human to push towards higher levels of mastery.

I wrote so much and forgot to write the conclusion. The reason why there will be more inflation to come, is because of the debt. The US can't pay its debt without printing out more money from thin air. The other reason there will be inflation is because I believe Trump wants inflation. Inflation will increase asset prices skyhigh so that Trump can somehow sell those assets for a higher price onto the rich folks so he can repay the debt. So basically, there will be MORE FUCKING INFLATION for everyone!!!!!!! The entire world, not only the US, will feel its effects!!!

Just want to say you're doing good trying to figure out this by yourself, it will be a process and you shouldn't care what others think about your belief at the end of the day. However, let me provide you more of my own opinion and say that since WW2, the US has been increasing its currency value most of the time. The US does this because it can technically pay less for goods manufactured outside the US and allow its citizens to maintain a relatively rich lifestyle (compared to citizens of other countries). However this will eventually lead to manufacturing jobs going to countries like China, Vietnam, India, and so forth, leaving more and more middle class citizens behind economically. This is why Trump is now devaluing the currency so that he can bring manufacturing jobs back. The tariffs are in place for the same reason, there are also other reasons why the US needs to rebuild its manufacturing strength but Trump's method is not going to work. Normally, the government would never devalue its currency. The economic output of people will not increase due to policy changes, you can't really force that. Policies like tariffs would bankrupt businesses instead. Trump is probably the only guy who can devalue the currency, raise tariffs, and get his MAGA base cheering for him while the MAGA base won't be able to produce those imported goods while paying for most of the tariff cost! The debt, will never be repaid, or at least that is what I think. Even with the amount of money from the tariffs, the debt is still increasing at a faster rate with all the military expenses. Taxing the rich won't work either, the rich have too many ways to evade taxes. If you cut too much spending, the GDP might shrink too much that there will be a recession if not a depression. And no politician wants that on their plate.

Inflation the last few years was due to the US printing 40% of the current US dollar supply out of thin air during 2020 ~ 2021 to handle the covid damages to the economy. This also caused other countries to print a lot money because most of those countries (China, Japan, etc.) relied on exports, so they didn't want their money to be stronger than the dollar (dollar weakens when you print more based on nothing). Another factor was the ramping up of the trade war between China and the US, however this factor is not as significant as the money printing.

Not sure if you've mentioned this yet, could you let us know the name of your current company? It could be the next Google.

I don't see this trend occurring anytime soon unfortunately, just like green energy this stuff is very expensive. I think the current administrations around the world would rather go nuclear.
