  1. Could you be more specific in terms of how your worldviews clash? For example is it a matter of "she is very religious but I am not"?
  2. I'm currently a student but I need to have a job for around three months. I really need to work on improving social confidence. What jobs would push me to developing these skills? I was thinking bartending but that might be a little bit too much of a stretch for me. I don't even drink much.
  3. @Leo Gura Could you please define what you mean by trans-ideology?
  4. @kamill Is sales difficult to break into? One option I have is parking enforcement, lol. I have a family member who does it for a living. He says it's awful since these guys are hated by almost everyone. I mean their entire job is to give parking tickets. I think I'll keep this as a last resort in case I can't find a different job haha. Said family member would be able to get me referred and I can start within a week. I wonder if it would actually help my social skills, or would it fuck them up even more...
  5. Sales ??? Sales sounds awful to me. It just sounds like a job where you try to rip people off. Is that usually the case or is this an exaggeration?
  6. You have any experience with it? How did it affect your social skills?
  7. That's... 0. Anyway, I agree that rating women is not healthy behaviour. You're trying to distill the EXPERIENCE of her beauty into a mere number. Trying to convert an experience into a number, i.e. trying to make it OBJECTIVE, is OBJECTIFYING by definition.
  8. Lmao quality stuff
  9. It's a really interesting question. I think the republican party is finally dying off in the next few decades. Now that's gonna be progress
  10. Scientists figured out a way to induce mystical states via invasive brain stimulation. They did it on a patient with epilepsy. “It is like looking at infinity, I no longer have any limits, as if everything was connected, and I was connected with any part around me.” Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/160y0ay/brain_stimulation_produces_mystical_experience_it/ Paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9300149/
  11. We don't know how these countries will evolve culturally and politically. It's likely that China will move up the spiral by then.
  12. That's a bold assumption lmao. These neurons are nature's way of creating intelligence. When they get complex and intelligent enough, it leads to the intelligence of a human being and beyond. I can easily see this sort of technology eventually surpassing programmable AI.
  13. Share with me some more oscilloscope music if you have any favourites...
  14. Saudi Princess Saudi Arabia
  15. You should generally discard things that Leo says that do not resonate with you. The reason they do not resonate with you is because it either doesn't apply to your situation, or because the way you're interpreting what Leo is saying simply isn't true for you. Never let something Leo says decrease your vibration, or pull you away from what you know will grow you. For example, you clearly generally know that this travel idea will lead to a lot of growth for you, but your interpretation of what Leo has said in the past regarding travel has made you suppress this intuition. Everyone here has answered your question but I thought I should write down this more general perspective.
  16. In your experience, is effort an illusion?
  17. You don't think that something with the scale of destruction of WWII should be taken very seriously? You didn't say it shouldn't but I'm just going off your tone. I agree that it's not going to destroy humanity as a whole though.

  19. The paper came out a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/159jpz6/the_first_roomtemperature_ambientpressure/ Actually, two other papers came out with a whole bunch of drama going on between researchers as to who gets credit. Academics lmao... Anyway, the implications of this is insane. It would basically solve every tech problem as far as I can tell. Here's a post discussing the possible implications: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/15a4vry/implications_of_room_temperature_superconductors/. A replication is currently in the works, so we should find out whether this is legit or not quite soon.
  20. That first video you sent is such BS lol. Such BS. You can clearly see the way it moves looks like that of a puppet. Also, anyone claiming that creating such a clip in the 90s would have been "impossible" is fooling themselves. That bonus video is interesting though. Is that guy for sure a senior Lockheed scientist?
