I love it.

I'm not a mind reader, but I think I know what @Inliytened1 would say

There's practical value in talking to others even if you believe they aren't conscious like you. In video games, you talk to various NPCs to get what you want/need to win the game. Not to say I believe in solipsism, but that the logic holds as long as the belief is held. You can believe in solipsism and talk to others. But what you can't do is believe in solipsism and believe that others exist. Hence, Leo says you are him, everything is imaginary, there is no self, there are no others, only Self/God exists, etc... Now, the leap from that to Love is a difficult one for me to comprehend.

I think it's a Buddhist mistake to define awakening as detachment from the dream. Leo warned about this years ago.

Accepting paradox is part of spiritual development.

Someone should invent an Awakening-o-meter.

That's the problem with cold approaching girls for me. It usually takes time for me to develop attraction for a girl, and unless she shows body features with tight/suggestive/revealing outfits or has an incredibly beautiful face, I can't be instantly attracted to her, which makes me feel creepy about approaching, which affects my state and vibe and shuts her off immediately. I don't know how to do that in a casual non-creepy way.

I suck at this. Like what do you actually say? Especially if you're not already attracted to the girl.

Dating is the pathway towards the deepest forms of bonding and human connection.

Nothing can cure loneliness except being okay with being lonely. People try to fill the gap with all sorts of things, drugs, doom scrolling, sex, work, spirituality, etc... Anything can act as a buffer from facing the truth of life, that you were born alone and will die alone. Everything and everyone is just for the ride.

I think AI has a specific functionality that is extremely valuable, in which it takes away a lot of the work required by humans. Like when calculators were invented. Or when factories were built. And that is creating a temporary gap in the market where developers are not as needed as before. But markets don't just absorb external effects idly. They have entropy that governs them, as in each effect creates a reaction. The effect of AI making things easier and production faster will create the reaction that is cheaper products. Competition will force IT companies to start selling products for cheaper prices, because cheaper goods expand demand. This in turn will encourage production, and the market then will demand more workers. Then we will back to some more balanced state. This is because the job market is a fluid equilibrium and a living entity, not just dumb clockwork. It's a self-correcting system, not a static machine. Probably the effect will be larger than the reaction, but it won't prevent it. And in the meantime, more abstract jobs will emerge, like AI driver specialists lol. So no, you're not fucked. Go for the job.

Do you guys ever leave the house and interact with real humans?

The how is easy. It doesn't require special abilities or privileges. You can say it. Anyone can say it. I think your real question is why.

Yeah, this works because there's no obvious/immediate agenda behind it. It seems innocent, until it isn't 😈
