I think it's a bit more nuanced. A car doesn't replace you - it makes human life easier. The technology assist us. AI can assist us, but it has the danger it can replace large parts of humanity. For the first time technology isn't just assisting and enhancing human life - it can actively replace large parts of our existence.

I like to schedule regular breaks for advertisement 🫪

It's not denying reality. It is simply recognising there isn't merit to looking good. It's not a mark of achievement. Not a mark of excellence. Not something to be admired. It just is. Being attractive is simply a temporary state that will leave with time. Attractive people got a good diceroll from God. That's it. I think you might personally value good looks a lot. This is also causing you to resent those who are good looking. But these people could also be born ugly. It's just random. Life isn't fair. It's not a vending machine where you put good in and good comes out. Just make the best of what you have and forget how others look. It doesn't effect you. And if it does? You are allowing it to affect you and creating the reaction within yourself. Take it easy there Tiger, don't poke too many holes in the OPs argument hahaha 😂

@Florian but his philosophy IS poor. He did slowly introduce his side hustle grift selling blueprint products. My point it he is one of the elite. His surface motives look genuine - but none of these elite technocrats are FOR YOU. They would leave you in the dirt to die if they could live forever. It does one no good to buy into hype. It's how these guys sell themselves and capitalise on your click. Your attention and your money. There are more issues with Bryan I haven't even gone into here, that make any normal person question themselves, following and idolizing someone like him. I apologise if I offended you, my views and opinions still stand. If you read all my replies I am pretty fair and give Bryan a lot of credit. Realise this is a discussion. I am not DOING anything to you. It's whatever you are allowing that is the issue. One should always investigate the legitamacy of their feeling reactions. Because often they lead you astray. I don't care what you think of me as a moderator. I am here to arbiter forum rules. I have opinions of my own that don't mean disagreeing presents any sort of issue - or that my opinions or views carry any more weight than the next person. This speaks to your own issues with authority. So be chill 😎 Peace 🕊️

Thanks for the share - I came across this one by accident then saw your post 😁

@Tenebroso nope. That is your projection. People, men and woman. Are equally capable of being full of shit. Mean. Status seeking. Materialistic. I just see where you have a cognitive bias - and that bias is also projecting onto me. You see arrogance and self righteous where there is just firm understanding and hard words. It's just coming from a female so it hits different. We are debating about your views regarding women, and how they are solely negative. I know there are bad women out there. But if we are to counter this claim you have, it won't do to bring up examples of bad woman that will further cement this. What exactly do you want to hear? That people are selfish and full of shit? The problem is... That quality has nothing to do with sex. Man or woman. It's the same across the board. Read all of my posts again, and you will realise I never said women are faultless, saints, angels, goddesses. Really really read my posts. It was never even inplied. You will realise you filled in the gaps with information to perpetuate a narrative. It didn't come from me. It's a narrative spun by algorithms to keep you in a state of lack and powerlessness. And I fucking hate that this manosphere content does this to people.

@jd1279 Can you link one of his recent ones on Autism? I didn't think there were many recently - But I may have missed it !

@TheBG FWIW I needed external force to move me on a new trajectory into actualizing my unlived/unexpressed masculinity. It didn't come from within, as much as I would have liked this. The negative feelings that come up around it were a powerful motivating force to pull my attention to attend something. I always feel negative emotions are beneficial as they orient us to look at things that may be wrong. This is from the frame of someone pathology free IE you do not have a panic disorder or chronic depression etc. I am a woman, so naturally do not have a huge need to exercise my masculine energy - and I still felt a huge compulsion. I just wish I had the wisdom to act on it without reality forcing it. And I think your post was really useful - even if you knew the answer all along. You never know how your words might help someone else in a similar position

Commit. Shave it. I love running my hands over dudes shaved heads. Free skull massage at the next meet-up 😄💀

Haha, I love the wellness vampire who sells eevo called 'snake oil' 🥹 He does some good chit with his 4 pillars advice. Solid

I'm going by what he repeats over and over again, his history and how grand vision. Combined with being a member of the elite. I just don't trust anyone famous or part of the rich upper class who do the 'podcast circuit' and all attend the same cliquey events. It makes me skeptical as fuck. Combined with him trying to be so charming. I do not trust charisma and charm. It's a red flag for me. It isn't needed if you have integrity and are a healthy individual. So I have a bias. And yeah I can concede everyone is egoically motivated. But a big ego is always slippery. And I think opens is up to corruption moreso. These silly rich elites are always so greedy for more. And I see this reflectes in Bryan's ideology. Regardless of how he professes this is for everyone - it's just a different wrapper on the same shit. I do not trust him. Simple as that. I think he has some mental health issues - he is pathological with his application of protocols. His money could be better spent elsewhere and the hype makes me 🤢🤮 But I respect your position 😁

@Carl-Richard Yep, and it is those engineering problems that may well be solved. But you have to look at his intentions in totality - he claims his whole purpose and desire is about being remembered in the 25th century. He compares himself to others that are remembered. That could go many different ways - but I think he means well in that he wants to be remembered for the right reasons. There is a lot of hubris there. The only reason I raise this? Most who defend Bryan go on about how humble he is, his pure intentions. At the end of the day, he is just like anyone else with selfish motivations. Ego. It just so happens there are good things behind it all. I just think it is a clever ruse that so many who follow social media are totally blind to. He is living a privileged, elite existence - he stated that 'signing his will' is a sufficient thought experiment to compare suffering to someone on life support with a breathing apparatus, with no quality of life. I see him constantly saying he is a deep thinking and philosopher - and then presenting NO real thoughts behind some huge counter points to his philosophy. No intention to address them. Just some jukes to avoid questions. Couple that with the biggest issue I have; how the hell is he going to know with rigor what works, if he does live for an extended period? I just don't have any faith in n = 1 experiments. But hey - that's me. I also think the excessive testing can be problematic. I do love that he advocates for the basic pillars of health. So overall I like his content and message. I think what he is doing is innovative in some ways. But the hype surrounding him is misplaced. I love he is exploring psychedelics. I dislike the blueprint product grift. I dislike the ideology around AI controlling our existence. I think his philosophy is poor. I dislike transhumanism because I feel like there are huge potential issues that are being overlooked in its pursuit. And Bryan is a transhumanist imo. I am very much middle-of-the-road with my opinion of him. I think nothing will come of his experiment.

@Carl-Richard I agree 'don't die' is a marketing slogan. Bryan also genuinely wants to live forever, though.

@ZenSwift I think it worthy to note, the actualized quote in question is based heavily around ones ability to infer. It is not hard evidence.

Well tbh, it is nasty as fuck imo 💀 When it comes to personal taste and aesthetics, there isn't some objective metric we can use to take a dump on someone lol. It is by its very nature subjective 😄
