I think that's exactly what I want. Watching your content for the first time always had an exciting quality to it. Now I am not feeling it anymore. I am not feeling anything. I want to feel something.

One of the most horrible things you can do to your mental health is doomscrolling. 1) You are mostly consuming shit content or negative content which is designed to trigger people. You feel sad and depressed. 2) When you feel sad and depressed by watching the shit content, then you go again and scroll social media for even a little spike of dopamine. 3) Not only are you exposed to mindless polarizing trash, now you feel like total shit, unable to get anything done at all. 4) You can hardly get anything done from the time remaining in the day since your dopamine receptors have already been fried. To fell exciting and motivating, now you need to match the previous levels of dopamine you were used to gettting. 5) If you are using social media or doomscrolling anywhere past 6pm good luck getting any proper sleep from all those blue light disrupting the circadian rhythm. Now you feel lousy and unable to even get a proper round of sleep.

Intolerance and exclusivity is the mark of a true artist. The more the intolerance the less their tolerance to bullshit. Give me even one example of a genius who let people fiddle with their art with no consequence. It never happened. He is allowed to become intolerant to people he is perceiving as corrupting his art. Most people cannot realize this.

Fully agree. But to claim that every one deserves equal opportunity is complete dogshit. Meritocracy is rewarding people who work hard and make the right choices. Not everyone will do that. So there will always be an unfair playing ground. That's a feature of life,not just meritocratic/capitalists systems.

Quotes give you penetrating insights into the minds of the greatest geniuses in history. It's like spending time with a short period of time. Letting their genius rub off on you.

Post examples of people with great sense of humour. Sometimes it's unreal how people can be so funny. For nerds like us, we can only hope to be half as funny as them. Note: Do not post "funny videos". Post examples of people who crack funny jokes. That should be instructive for everyone else on how exactly they manage to have this level of humour. Also post instructive articles or analysis on humour if you find any. Dangmattsmith is easily the most funniest YouTube personality I have seen hands down. Pure charm and wit. It's not like cheap jokes either. All of em seems like well thought one and ge manages to crack them spontaneously. Ingenious. His Omegle videos are the best.

Cool.

That's sad. He should make up for the long opportunity in the long term. If he scored perfect scores, then he got it in him.

I just got rejected by a top school recently and I was figuring out what to do next and found out something 20x better just after researching for 2 weeks on YT. Even many companies in the tech scene have shifted to skill based hiring which means they will hire you fresh out of school, given that you have skills. I do not value higher education so much. Not only will it set you up in a scientific paradigm lock, you will end up being the cash cow for some multi billion corporation. There days there are so many available. So I don't want to make too much of a fuss about affirmative action although it breaks my heart to see someone who is so extremely hardworking could get rejected and lesser qualified candidates get in because their great great great great grand dad was oppressed by someone else's great great great great grand dad. What really pisses me off is removal of gifted programs and treating all kids like sheep as if all kids learn at the same rate. We can choose to ditch college but we have no choice but to attend basic schooling. And schools don't teach you anything at all. It's disrespectful to serious students.

JImmy scar.

Standup comedy and speaking on a mic on stuff you prepared already is one thing. But some dudes like dangmattsmith literally pulls this off while talking to strangers on Omegle. Unreal. Especially his old ones. Look at the sheer variety of the jokes he is able to pull up spontaneously. Dave can make even simple things funny by his timings alone. Genius.

The whole point is that they are not privileged enough to study and pass those exams. If they can med school test, then they can also pass test before med school. That's why we need affirmative action. What's your point? Students from these "oppressed communities" drop out of schools much more than other races. Which is also wasting the precious seats and resources that were allocated to teach them. If it was based purely on merit this wouldn't have happened, atleast not to the extend it is happening now.

I will tell my only yellow policy to replace affirmative action for all those who are interested. 1. Make education easy. Fix the syllabus of SAT exams and other standardized tests. Hire the most brilliant PHD professors and start a YouTube channel where you cover literally everything that could be possibly asked in the syllabus of that exam. This should be relatively easy to do. You may need to hire 10 professors at best. This could help prepare the students from across the world who may not have access to this education. This is what technology should be used for. Plenty of high quality YT channels exist anyway, incase you should focus on the next step. 2. Educational Infrastructure. Make sure that high speed internet is accessible in neighborhoods with poor minorities. Every kids should have access to a laptop. The internet is the gateway to the world. The internet has all the information you need to train and free courses that you can choose from. Make this as much accessible as reasonably possible. This is not that cheap like starting a YouTube channel, but if the government has any interest in the welfare of minorities they should take action like building infrastructure which is obviously difficult rather than passing laws making it easier for mediocre students to get into elite schools. 3. More Gifted programs. Realize that kids are not sheep and one size fits all solution doesn't work. Some kids have higher IQ, curiosity, energy levels etc. Start more gifted programs in schools. Allow talented kids to progress through the ranks faster. A 130 IQ student should not have to study the materials designed for 105 IQ students. Blank slate theory should be exposed and dumbed for the scham that it is. 4. Allow upward mobility for everyone one step at a time. A kids who grew up in a tribe in a forest is not fit to join a top school. Then build a school which is specifically meant for minorities and people from underprivileged backgrounds and help them progress one level at a time. This may include teaching them about a relevant trade or even blue collar work if that is necessary. This is the yellow policy of meeting people where they are at. That could be more helpful for them. 5. Not all differences are caused due to racism or systemic racism If racism and privilege mattered Asians would not outperform whites in standardized test scores, income and affluence. Some people make the right choice will be rewarded by the system. People who make poor choices will not be rewarded. unequal playing ground is not a bug. It is a feature. Society needs to guarantee a basic level of educational attainment opportunity for all. You cannot equalize the results for people who made shitty choices by ripping off the people who made better choices.

This question really hit the nail. Everyone wants top quality doctors, medicines and preferably free, but high quality services. But when it comes to developing these things and the infrastructure needed for it they come up with weird arguments like that of equality of opportunity. If you grew up in a tribe in some forest, you are simply not fit to be trained in a top notch medical/engineering school. It is simply that. Exclusivity is required for excellence. And if equality of opportunity is the sole determinant of outcomes, then how would you explain the Asians outperforming the whites, despite not having all these privileges you talk about initially. As of now even the earnings of Asian women are growing higher than that of white men! That should tell you a lot. And the kids of these families will definitely get into elite schools by their own merit anyway. It is just that they have the added advantage of having hardworking financially literate parents. The problem is in thinking that everyone deserves a seat in elite schools. Sad to tell you that cannot happen. We can only do that by undermining the hard work of other minorities like Asians who now have to work even more harder. All of this while degrading the quality of the schools, since candidates with higher scores are more likely to finish the education and keep at their jobs.

You are assuming that everyone deserves an equal playing field, in terms of money. That is not the definition of a meritocratic society. Meritocratic society will reward anyone who makes the right choices, works hard and have talent. Period. Anyone who works hard and have talent will be rewarded with upward mobility. Do you think Asians had more wealth than the straight white men initially? Asian men and women face plenty of racism, even today. Despite all of that, after coming to US with nothing in their hands, they have managed to amass more wealth than white men. To hit the point hard home, Asian women's earnings is already at par or even more than white men at this point. This can only happen in a meritocratic society. Because they made the right choices and worked hard and suffered. And they teach their children to make the right choices as well. So of course they will also make more money and wealth which will have a compounding effect over the generations. The mistake you make is to think that wealthy people's kids got into elite colleges because they were wealthy. But the reason they got wealthy is because they made the right choices. Talking about Asians here. Note that all this happened while they face real racism and discrimination in the US, media who portrays us them nerdy and unsociable geeks. Never ever in history will we ever reach a point where every child born will be "equal" to everyone else because some people will always make stupid choices and the effects of these choices will compound over time. So theoretically, if you wipe of all the wealth in the world and start from a clean slate, we would end up in the same unequal society we have today. This kind of equal opportunity notion is a leftist fallacy. It is impossible for a perfect society to exist by the laws of physics and nature. Fundamental reason being people are so different. Blank slate theory egalitarianism is a fallacy. If the US is failing at that then a yellow level policy should be focused on solving this equality of opportunity. They do not get admitted for free. You need money to fund the research and activates that happen in these schools. A couple of admissions from the wealthy will help these institutions focus on long term research activates that may not generate any immediate returns. I do not support it. But you got to get the funding somehow. If you can get the funding, some other way then we can completely do away with legacy admissions. Alumna endowments comes at a cost. Again, I do not support legacy admissions and it is anti meritocratic and should be scrapped. But you need to keep the money flowing somehow.

Do you have an account in Instagram posting spiritual content? I think I remember seeing you there. not sure.

Dude if you want to see God just look infront of you. That is God.

God is not contingent on anything. God is by de definition, everything. It is Omniscient. Yes. Perceptions will remain after you remove your ego. Perceptions are God. Concepts of God are God. Not having a concept of God is also God. Acknowledgement of God can happen with or without Ego mind sinning concepts around it.

I have been going through the first phase. This is an incredible video. I Have been going through a lot lately. Just internal stuff. I have completely detached from all social and corporate structures at the moment and preserved my intellectual sanctity for a moment. I need to make mental constructions to make the most use of my intellect. This video gave me a lot of peace though. At this point, I am not trying to get anything done. I have to completely rewire all the dogmatic beliefs I got from being in academia for all these years. Being good in academics have been against my favor especially in a county with dirt poor infrastructure like India. We simply do not have mechanisms to reward intellectually bright people here. So I have to be a leader and carve my own path and find a way. But these old beliefs are coming in the way. I am too used to being in the academic structure that I find it hard to work without any such restrictions. I do not have much time, so I am trying to aggressively rewire all my beliefs and watch Leo's videos to instill clear objectives and upgrade my software. Been feeling a little down lately and struggling to find inspiration. Although it is definitely coming up. I can sense it. I have been in this phase for a while after my previous project did not deliver as I expected it to. Going to make up for all of it in the next phase.

Caffeine does absolutely nothing for me. Given that I tamed my blue light exposure I can sleep like a baby even after a heavy coffee before bed. For me blue light is solely the villain. Interesting case for your gf though. Even though she managed to fall asleep even after blue light exposure, the quality of sleep definitely will get affected. Maybe monitor the deep sleep timings and you may find something. We can agree to disagree.

Not really. Reality is meticulously planned the way it is by God. reality is objectively good, not neutral. Neutrality is a mind concept. There are only positive things in nature. Feel free to verify.

Yes, I was practicing this lately and been getting some progress. Another way is to simply admire reality like it's a beautiful painting. The ego "you" completely dissolves along with the constant interpretation and computation working in the background which is so tiring. Stopping it means you have a lot of extra energy to go about life savouring it even more. Key is to admire more.
