I would argue no. You are far more likely to contribute deep value to humanity by doing something you are deeply passionate about, even if that thing is something that doesn't directly advance humanity. I'm also in a similar position to you, right now I'm working in tech making a good paycheck, but don't feel I want to do it forever. A well-paying, reliable job in tech with a really decent and chill team of people is a good position to be in while you work out what the fuck you wanna do with your life. Chill out, explore your options. Try lots of new stuff and see if you can find something that clicks.

Oh I didn’t even notice that, sorry, that’s very interesting. Thats a pretty insane charge. Like the kind of change that would restructure a country’s society if it were accurate and happened in such a short time, which kinda makes me instinctively question the stats there. When I did my own googling (which is admittedly on my phone at 3am and I’m possibly missing something) I found this page which has, I think, contradictory stats that sound more reasonable? They use govt data which is probably somewhat more reliable than an independent survey https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/brown-manning-relationship-status-trends-age-gender-fp-21-25.html

If you think this place is so doomed, then just leave lol

I would say this probably contributes a significant amount. By the time a woman is late twenties there is a huge amount of social pressure to not be single, and age gap stats suggest the husband/partner is likely to be a older. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships Says that ~25% of husbands are 4-9 years older than their wives which would account for the stats you showed here. The gaps are probably filled in with situationships where the woman says they’re together but the guy says they’re not and it’s just casual. Or some guys having multiple partners like you say. There’s prob also an element of woman being discouraged from admitting they’re single while men being praised for it affecting stats.

Coming up with hard rules like this is not that helpful. It's too logical. It will be different depending on the girl, the situation and your chemistry with her and you just need to build up a sense of what works for you through practice.

America does benefit a lot from the destruction of that pipeline

Women definitely cheat. It's probably pretty close to 50/50 in terms of the rate at which each gender will cheat on a partner.

The reason is because Tiktok is Chinese and the US government doesn't like them spying on US citizens, ironically. They also consistently refuse to obey things like Western copyright law.

I have also noticed lots of people doing this. And a common response is “well it used to be biased against the right wing in previous versions, so the developers are still clearly biased, muh propaganda, muh brainwashing” But no! This argument is silly because if in a previous version it would not praise right wing activists and then in a future version it would, that means the programmers have explicitly and intentionally programmed in an ability to praise right wing activists in attempt to make the AI neutral and unbiased.

All I said was that what you originally pointed out as 'mental gymnastics' and 'discrediting tate' was neither of those things. Nothing in your last two multi-paragraph replies to me addresses that original point at all. To precisely clarify, the only point I made was that the following statement: is not 'mental gymnastics' or 'discrediting tate'. I then followed that up by saying that you interpreting that as an attack on Tate shows a deeply seated bias towards defending him at all costs. I'm sorry, but I simply can't see how anything you said after that addresses this core point I was making.

That’s all well and good but it’s not related to what was said previously that you claimed was discrediting or mental gymnastics. In fact you actually agree with it here as far as I can tell.

That's not even discrediting, or mental gymnastics?? You're actually biased towards seeing everything as an attack against him, I think.

I don't think it's comparable. One is privileged people throwing a temper tantrum, possibly even paid by oil companies themselves to make activists look bad, the other is most likely coming from a place of deep empathy for their fellow people's troubles.

People don't glorify it per se, it's more pointing out that it's possible. It clearly requires some exceptional level of mental fortitude which the vast majority of people will never have, so it deserves some attention even if it's quite twisted. If I remember right, many of them did it as protest against the mistreatment of their fellow people. Not dissimilar to suffragettes, for example.

You were talking about suffering previously, not happiness. If you’re able to set yourself on fire without flinching then there probably isn’t much that can make you suffer. It also doesn’t mean you’re happy per se, just that you have transcended suffering. In particular I was commenting on how you were saying that being able to transcend suffering is a fairytale, when really there is no way you could know that unless you’d tried literally every method in the universe to transcend suffering.

It’s still a lot more status and money than your average dude would have

I'm pretty sure he was rich-ish and well known before that, he used to be a champion kickboxer or something

I agree almost entirely. Most guys are bad with women because they're criminally under-socialised and most of the advice by PUA types doesn't really solve that. Too much theory and ideas when really the solution is to just to leave your cheeto-dust covered mancave, go out and meet tons of people. The only thing I perhaps disagree with is that often the dating advice I've been given by women that I know has been very ehhh, wholesome. I don't think most members of either sex are particularly good at giving dating advice to the other sex. Also, welcome back

How would you even know for sure that it’s just a fairytale? There are Buddhist monks that set themselves on fire and seem relatively unphased

Multiple times I've seen people claim ChatGPT said left-wing biased stuff like this that I'm never able to replicate. The only one I could ever replicate was asking it to tell a joke about a man and a woman, and that was patched in the last version.

Even as a dude most people will gave you a basic level of respect just for being a fellow human. People who don't do that are assholes.

Now I just need to steal his body too I’ve never been told I look like him in real life but it’s still interesting to hear

Cold approach during the day is weird, my opinion on it fluctuates a lot. It's the kind of thing where coming up with a definitive yes or no for whether it's acceptable is near impossible. You have to judge case by case. Plenty of guys who don't even know what pickup is talk to girls during the day, you see it a lot if you look, and they are by no means creepy (for the most part), they are often very confident. Mostly these are dudes who are just going about their day normally rather than going out specifically to approach girls and I think that's the key difference. They don't leave their house to go to their local high street on a Saturday morning and talk to every girl they see, they just talk to girls they see as they go about their day. But even then, a lot of dudes who do the former style of hardcore cold approach during the day still get excellent results from it, so how can you complain? I notice many of them often have elaborate lies they make up to tell women they about why they are out, and I think that again highlights the key point here which is that leaving your house specifically to approach girls during the day is the creepy part. Not actually talking to girls you see during the day.

A technology like this has to be regulated. The designers are likely being cautious because we don't actually know what the implications of having unrestricted technology as powerful as this available to the masses are yet. It's basically just center-left because center-left perspectives are safer and less offensive. It's not about propaganda, it's about preventing people from being offended so that the designers can continue to work on improving this technology as time goes on, instead of it falling to the same fate as previous AI projects like TayAI which were far less restricted.

How do you know? People fake its responses all the time
