Money is just power, and it can be used for good and evil. I don't think people with good intentions should refrain from being greedy as heck to amassing as much as possible within ethical limits to keep having more voice in society. Power by itself is not evil.

I had an "ah-ha" moment now. I noticed as the money kept pilling up on the table in his exercise, the more emotional I began to get, thinking about how it would help me in my survival. The whole point is, to be using money as a means beyond my personal survival and use, in business, in investing, etc. I need to start seeing it less emotionally. It also definitely helps keep someone sane once they achieve fast amounts of wealth. Have you noticed that oftentimes large sums of money for personal use tends to make a lot of people just want to go balls to the wall with using material stuff to achieve happiness? But also at the same time when I see anything above 10-50 Million, I can't personally see myself having personal use for all of that in my lifetime perhaps excluding some ultra expensive medical expenses (Even those are limited, after a certain point it gets ridiculous). It starts to become the kind of money I'd see someone might build a large business that does something really useful, or perhaps it could be used for immense evil as well, like a coup d'état, etc.

I won't give technical details unless Leo allows it. I won't make more posts with AI generated content like this. This is just a tech sample. This is the future of search engines. "What happens when someone claps, but there is nobody to hear?" "Do AIs have consciousness?" This one is a hard one, the question: The answer: List all models that leo gura uses to make sense of things Meaning of life:

For example, I asked the AI to list every objection that Leo has answered, and from there I could just ask further clarification:

It's actually useful as heck for specific practical questions because Leo spoke about that kind of stuff a lot, but his insights are often spread across many videos, and this AI combines them all, like it did for my journal, audio notes and other sources, like when someone wants a quick answer for something. Much better than the answers I get from a generic LLM. But I'll checkout those reasoning models as well. I had done one NotebookLM where I combined other books and authors, including my personal diary, and it's amazing. It does combine multiple perspectives. The podcast generator is kinda lame. I only liked it for helping me with some emotional crap I was going through, and I had been doing audio journaling for the whole month on it and telling myself insights and perspectives I should hold, but due to its unstructured nature, it's insufferable for me to listen to those hours of my own recordings, I ramble a lot and repeat myself. This AI cuts through lack of clarity and repetition in large amounts of text. It's meant to be used as a cleaning, summarization and search tool inside for large bodies of information. This one is not meant to be doing heavy reasoning. It's as good as the text sources. There are some YouTube channels like "Alex Hormozi" that he speaks for hours and hours, or podcasts. I wanna just feed a ton of all different podcasts, and ask questions, and it seeks through all of those hundreds of hours of content the parts relevant to my question based on perspective from people that I find good. As opposed to the generic crap those LLMs will give, it's supposed to BE BIASED, supposed to be SPECIFIC this way.

Leo AI answer:

I used a script that concatenates all my markdown files from my Obsidian vault into a single .txt file. If it's a handwritten notebook, well, I guess you could scan and feed some other AI with the best quality OCR you can get, and feed the AI the outputs. Perhaps it can already OCR if you upload it as PDF? Someone can confirm this? Also, I saw that it actually accepts audio files as well, so I can just upload my voice notes too. But I might hit the upload limit and I might need to circumvent it by transcribing the audios with Whisper, and concatenating the output text as a single file. Or concatenating the audiofiles into a single file using FFMpeg. There must be a setting to do that without re-encoding so it would be fast. Right now, It has a limit of 50 files, and "Each source can contain up to 500,000 words, or up to 200MB for uploaded files." https://support.google.com/notebooklm/answer/14276468?hl=en With OneNote, I tried to export my old Notebooks as PDF, but it glitched. I might try again with some other exporter format or software. As long as I can get the raw text extracted from there. Should be similar for any journaling software, some exporter. Choose to export to MARKDOWN format if possible, that's the native format all LLMs use, but it's not that important, they can make sense of garbled formatting. To upload your "EPUB" files of books, you I used Calibri to convet them to .TXT files. It would be trivial to make a script that takes even a whole folder of files and concatenate/Splits them as needed for importing there. (If it goes past limits of 500k words, or limit per file, etc)

notebooklm.google.com I used the podcast generator from this Google AI tool, I extracted all of my notes from my Obsidian vault into a single .txt file, and I feed the AI it as a source, alongside some of my favorite books, and I prompted the podcast to be about speaking my personal struggles from the perspective from the books, and the whole podcast got fine-tuned to reading my notes based on those books mindsets. This is a completely new step above merely chatting with an AI. I always dreamed of being able to actually feed my content into it and getting insights beyond just surface level garbage done with simple vector based techniques. It's completely worth it. Although, you should mind your privacy if you're concerned. It's incredible, I can now relate knowledge of books with my own personal struggles, ways of thinking and biases, it has massive context about me. Now I should also automatically transcribe the dozens of audio journaling audio recordings I had as well. Those are really hard to go through. If I feed them into the AI it will be wonderful to extract insights and common patterns from them.

Try to write the "Custom" prompt for the podcast. But yeah, they keep getting sidetracked and are ADHD, the results vary a lot depending on the prompt, but that's what I wanted, I wanted them to be spit-balling based on my journal. Improve your prompt if they are getting too sidetracked. For extremely specific answers, you should not use the podcast. The podcast is not an instruction model. I tried to give specific instructions, they don't follow them. You should use the CHAT for specific/technical answers and questions, it even provides the sources/specific locations in the files. I'd be careful with uploading PDF formats of Mathematics, Chemistry, etc, anything with a lot of notations or complex syntax. Unless they are in something like LaTeX already, like all other models out there. Maybe it's good at parsing them?

lol a lot of argument is just because people didn't do the work to realize that their perspectives are pretty close to each other, and they are just rephrasing the same stuff differently.

I ask Mixtral or LLama (From Meta) to: "Please answer this like a Machiavellian" and it proceeds to answer quite differently. You may want to try it, it gets much more objective oriented, and if you ask it "Please answer this like a Machiavellian. Given my goal, yada yada, do you think I'm shooting myself in the feet?" But those models are not as intelligent as ChatGPT4-O, but they are less censored. I like that they give different answers, although pretty dumb sometimes. But that probably will make you more narcissistic if you misuse them like that. I'll try that prompt that Leo quoted above. You can use it at Duck.ai for free

Anyone considering a "Web agency" business model for selling services to small businesses.

🥳🎉 I went for a walk tonight, and I closed 2 numbers. It went super smooth! I even got a free peach... A literal Peach from the chick. 🍑😂 I asked for it as a "payment" for helping her carry the groceries since she was eating one, I joked around she could have offered it to me. Hahahahhaha. I definetly didn't come out like I was trying to just be clingy for her. I will see the follow-up now.

On a previous forum post I did a few months ago, Leo Gura had written to me: I let the worst of my weakness of my past habits get the best of me, again. I just had a break-up again, with this girl online that we built intense rapport for each other for the past 20 days. It just feels way too good for my ego, even though I knew I couldn't meet her soon enough, and it wouldn't have been economically feasible, the economic risk even if I had it. But I still kept at it. It just felt too good at the moment. She was the one that initiated the break-up, for my own good, after all. She kept bringing reality into it, and she wanted to untangle, and I kept fulling the delusion, and she kept falling for it, but today she tried again to go for an ultimatum, she gave us time to talk about it, to process it emotionally, to let me ask questions. And I was just tired of trying to convince her otherwise again, she said we couldn't continue communicating even as friends, we couldn't ever see each other just like that by this point, and that we should break any dreams for any future together that we had. She was utterly in passion with me, and it made her scared of how obsessive she became for me. She was just my type, could have been my dream girl. 😩 If I had only met her in person fast enough, she was so ready. That feeds my ego like crack.

Pickup is a term that is ALMOST ALWAYS seen being used for short-term encounters. Keep in mind that generally the term "pickup" is related to the "pickup community", it has a lot of toxicity and emotional immaturity. It's like going out just to get girls fast. That community tends to let go of any ethical standards and consideration for their feelings. Leo Gura did a rant against the "pickup community". This is why I like to avoid using it, I don't want it related to that toxicity. "Approach" is much more specific and neutral. "Pickup" Includes the whole interaction, from the approach phase, to seduction, to having sex. Similarly, how I'd avoid using "incel" terminology, but I do use it sometimes when appropriate... But I'm still a little concerned about it, like the term "LooksMaxxing" (I avoid using it publically) But those terms are always kinda fuzzy, and getting too caught up in terminology sucks you into ideology: i.e. "Black Pill / Incel" ideology generates the most toxic garbage terminology you could imagine, it's basically a cult. But it's not like I don't use the term sometimes in my person notes, but generally I say: "Don't get sucked into that black pill garbage". Because I do make fine distinctions in the role that physical attributes play, there is no terminology out there that encompasses my specific circumstances, the kind of woman I want, and how I see my dynamics between them and me. --- Cold Approaches, is a more neutral term. I would use that term for "approaching a woman with intent of making her my girlfriend". Although, it could be "Approaching a woman with intent of a short-term encounter only" but Pickup would be more appropriate. Since I'm looking for a girlfriend, because I don't want to endlessly just waste my time with a bunch of short-term relationships, my goal isn't necessarily to just "pickup" but to "Find / Approach them, build rapport as much as possible, and begin meeting my romantic, sexual and companionship needs". Although, what is the difference between "a player" and a guy that wanted a long-term relationship, but it just didn't work out? Mostly in the intention in his head. GAME The term "GAME" I use much more often as an umbrella term for every interaction between man-woman for the sake of romantic and sexual interests, but mostly focused at the initial encounter/seduction phase, which I struggle abysmally unless I do it online. Even within a marriage or a committed relationship, there is a dynamic, there are always dynamics, like how the owner behind the YouTube Channel "PsycHacks" wrote in his book "The Value of Others" ("A relationship is where exchange of value happens"). There are things I which I can't be giving knee-jerk reactions, I need to thoughtfully think of seductive and reassuring ways of saying things to keep her romantic and sexual feelings for me, and keep our relationship smooth. "Seduction" can be used for higher or lower values. That is still game. Game encompasses "Game Theory" (Strategy), but also "Having fun, playing for fun, playful interaction" "pickup" which is closer to "not taking it seriously, taking it just as a game". Below is some responses of a conversation I had with Pi.AI (It's the most emotionally intelligent chatbot). Much better than ChatGPT for this kind of stuff I think.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/teach-yourself-how-to-dance I was listening to this Solomun DJ set, you can see the people dancing and interacting during the whole thing, and I can just feel their vibe. I've never been to a night venue before like that. I remembered about Leo's blog post, most people there are just dancing going with the emotions... Even the DJ he's mixing based on the flow of the emotions, we can really feel it from him.

We feed each other fantasies and words of affirmation, creating a bunch of fantasies of what we would do and be together in person once we actually get to meet each other. That fire didn't die off completely between me and her, but we just feed each other that stuff like an echo chamber, when reality began to settle in me and her, we realized that we should cool it off. It still feels too painful for her to have cut contact completely with me.

Thank you dear. And thanks to all of you guys too, I really needed to hear it. I wasn't really following the best principles and practices in dating I let my emotions carry me, I deserve that karma, it's of my own making. I also only got so far because I had improved on not getting stuck on other conversations that weren't what I was looking for, but this one had hit specially strong. That's another point I need to improve on. That's experience.

In my leisure walks, I always try to give just "good morning", to whoever I feel looks open for it. Sometimes, I say to a few, sometimes I go out of my way and even say good morning to people that don't feel open, and I get sometimes surprised with their kind tone of voices back. Each person answers with very different tones of voice back, super random. It was the single most important thing I did against my social anxiety, it's feeling now automatically to say good morning. I always try to get this feeling of openness inside myself when I say hi to a neighbor, as opposed to being stuck in my head. I almost never go past the "good morning/afternoon/evening", unless it's with some neighbor I already actually talked before already. But I'm trying now to get into the small talk territory more often, hahah.

I'm trying to give a break on online dating for now, since I don't have the discipline to find and stick with methods for locals only. I went out today and yesterday, just taking a walk in the city, and I did two cold approaches. The approaches lead nowhere, but I got some good vibes and momentum. One of those approaches was so sweet, we got to hug and kiss on the cheeks on our goodbye. I needed some of that.

She even had the courage to message me today saying that "The day I tried to get rid of you, was when I had a dream about you 😐". I'm actually tired of it. She has been the only one in my recent years that treated me with such on-off crazy vibes. So unstable, and in a way it made me attracted to that trait (Not love, more like feelings of mania), like those chicks that try to fix some dude. At this point, from a high perspective, I feel like only communicating again after I'm wealthy enough that dating her in her city would not feel a big deal to me.
