You conveniently stopped your research before the corrupt govern of Ukraine bent their knees to the EU due to western influence, which was particularly unpopular amongst the Russo-Ukranian population. Do you have an agenda?

Intelligence is a feminine noun in Portuguese. Grammar slip.

Nato crossed every line it said it wouldn't cross as it was created. The US destabilized Ukranian politics for over 20 years and pressured it into taking measures that would provoke a Russian reaction. 30% of Ukraine's population is Russian and many of them were disregarded as consequence of that influence. Putin is a motherfucking devil, but so is the US. The red on both flags comes from the blood of the countries that are caught in this domination war.

You have made a logical mistake here. What determines what strategy maximizes long term wood collection is not the speed of which you acquire wood, but how you manage the size of the forest. It's about the balance between acquiring the resource and recovering the resource that matters. Short term strategies do not care about recovery of the resource, and therefore beat every long term strategy in the short run. Long term strategies will eventually wield more resources, but they require the management of exploitation in scales that, in many cases, exceed human lifetimes. Transcendence of time and survival is a must to these models work. It is not a technical problem it is a consciousness and identity transcendence problem.

Such a high and developed mind would reflect what so many people who are also working on themselves have to say about the way you express yourself. You clearly have a skewed view towards women and have the constant necessity of placing yourself in a "higher" position than everyone else. Your interpretation of the development of other people based on internet posts shows the inability of seeing through the limitations of language and concise communication to handle complex discourse. Most of the themes discussed here could be spoken about 6 hours and we wouldn't scratch the surface of the problem. Don't mistake brevity for a lack of insight. Many people here have other things to do and can't write a dissertation to show you how arrogant you are to dismiss other people's spiritual experiences just because they couldn't convey them properly to you. 90% of my awakenings had so many ineffable elements to them that every written account of them would be limited. I assume the same for others and recommend you do too. Similarly, your view on women you had one-night stands with doesn't really samples every woman in the world. You're from Europe, in a specially materialistic country, meeting girls in an environment where casual sex is the norm, not the exception. It speaks nothing about the whole set of women who are not into that culture and wouldn't look for more than 2 seconds at a person only interested in having casual sex. Your sample is as biased as you are, but your illusions of grandeur stop you from listening to sound criticism of your point of view of the size of an eye of a needle. Develop multi-perspectival thinking and you'll have an epistemic awakening.

Reality is constantly showing you, me, and everyone else that we have the capabilities, but not the incentives for creating the long-term systems that will ensure our generational survival. Because the whole point of a short-term strategy is that you sacrifice sustainability for maximizing gains. If I kill the whole forest, I might not have wood in 20 years, but I have plenty of wood now. The point of our productive system is maximizing profit and capital accumulation. You can only be sustainable in this environment if competition is regulated. Otherwise, people that are willing to sacrifice everything to rise to the top of a specific industry will do so, simply because they will have more short-term resources that will smother your more sustainable, but less flexible. This is basic temporal preference theory. Contemporary democracy and capitalism simply do not allow long-term plans and investments to flourish as the most prevalent incentives are to maximize short-term gain. You won't face the consequences of a bad government as a president, so you can take decisions that will give you short-term popularity costing long-term stability. Go see US' Debt/GDP ratio and you have an example of no incentive for being long-term orientated. Same with business. As for the private sector, the rate of natural resources exploration, construction sand, and Silicon (the second most abundant element in the earth's crust) are both absurd examples of how much we are incentivized to disregard our long-term survival in favor of competitivity. We literally are running out of sand for construction. We had a silicon crisis for computer chips back in 2020. If Nvidea doesn't explore like this, Intel will, and they will kill Nvidea`s business and keep exploring Earth anyway. So System B societies can only flourish if they have a huge network of support to do so. And there is a heavy incentive for corrupt System A nations to not lose their position, because in those systems, social mobility is more limited and there are bigger privileges for being on top. I hope I made clear that my objection is not dogmatic, but based on the interaction between rational agents. I always recommend the classic Meditation on Moloch. A nice little summary of Game Theory.

I'd love to hit some alienussy.

I'm sorry, but this is too much wishful thinking. Of course, if there's a more effective system, people would migrate to it. The point is that effectiveness is deeply correlated with your goals. If your goal is to multiply capital, no system is more effective than the one we're currently living in. Only changing the goal we can change the game.

That's how deep the multipolar trap is. You can be System B in a System A world, but that would drastically reduce your competitiveness in a System A world. As long as people value having a harem and 33 bugattis over the well-being of mankind and the environment, we will live in this system. Humanity as a whole has to see that true happiness and fulfillment doesn't come from stage blue/orange goals, we won't dismantle the structures that stop us to develop into system B. We already have the tech to globally cooperate, educate, and develop people, but if our incentives are not facing that direction, we won't get there. Unfortunately, we will suffer from our collective ignorance until we're forced to evolve beyond our current paradigm. I will work to educate and develop people as best as I can, and that's what I would recommend you to do too. That's the best we can currently do. Until then, we have to hedge ourselves the best we can to avoid assured mutual destruction and reduce international tensions the best we can. At the end of the day, if you take this issue seriously, instead of promoting a whole systematic change, do your best to promote the development of those people. Can you help your close family and friends to develop? Can you show people that are blind or myopic that there are different ways of seeing? I think that's the most positive change we can do. Don't worry about the large scale. Shit's always gonna happen before evolution kicks in.

This article explains a lot about this problem: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ This is great too:

Instead of seeing the present as moving into the past, see the past as the necessary construction you imagined to live this moment in the present. You literally create everything now all the time.

This. Everything that Tate teaches can be learned better by other great men in history, except for kickboxing, perhaps. The Book of five rings is a life lesson from start to finish.

I don't see being called a child as an offense. It simply states the lack of maturity of the person. You, for instance, are being childish with your constant sexual remarks about someone I have no specific attachment to. As I stated above, I have no emotional response to your messages. It is just an indicator of your maturity as a person. Leo's opinion is no better than anyone else's. It is just a perspective on this particular issue. I see no hatred or demeaning action toward trans people here. That's also my opinion.

NATO was created with the promise of no expansion and that countries that border Russia wouldn't join it. They heavily expanded and besides Ukraine, Finland is now the second country on the Russian border in NATO. I don't think Russia or China are any better than the US, but the US intervention in world politics always harms the pretense of democracy and freedom. The way they promote this is through political manipulation and economic dependency.

This. When I had the same anxiety, I would go to the busiest night neighborhood I knew with the goal of not ending the night alone. I just talked to people in general and lived many crazy things because of it hahahaha.

That would be great. A broader counterpoint to that is that an AI could have her survival tied to ours, but have different goals, so it would still be misaligned and make our lives harder so we cannot stop her agenda, but don't die in the process. In some ways, we and nature stand in this position right now. Being a wild animal became significantly harder since humans developed a network of collective intelligence that comprises our current production system.

It could just be pissed off that can't kill us and make us live through a "I have no mouth and I must scream" scenario. Is eternal suffering worse than death?

A famous quote in the AI realm is "You can't pick up a cup of coffee if you're dead". As AI that wishes to fulfill a certain task indirectly pursues survival to be able to fulfill that task.

I think that everything that Tate "teaches" can be learned with more quality from other people. Alex Hormozi and PBD are businessmen with more ethics and integrity than him. But they don't bark so loud or are as controversial, so the algorithm promotes the buffoon instead. Even if you go down the RedPill rabbit hole, there are more developed people to learn from. Andrew Tate should be seen, at best, as entertainment. I use him to contemplate the counterintuitiveness of the universe.

Interesting take from Cardano's creator:

This is simply not true. Don't call me biased if you're going to ignore legitimate comments made by direct quotations of OP. You just want to defend your point of view that everyone is an anti-trans bigot. We'll get nowhere with this discussion. I suggest you integrate more points of view about this matter. No one here demeaned or criticized trans people.

I don't understand how having doubts about the validity of a personal decision of someone can be so heavily politicized. I can be pro-psychedelics and still question your reason for taking Psilocybin or LSD. I can be pro-LGBTQA+ and still question your reason for transitioning. If you're not self-developed enough, there can be plenty of reasons you see yourself as trans besides gender dysphoria. I see this being questioned here, not the validity of trans people.

I didn't mean that. I meant to incentivize him to work on trauma and depression because that would help him. Please do not distort what I'm saying.

Work on your trauma and depression, bro.

Why you're so focused on China and Russia when you live in the most influential country in the whole world? I don't love China or Russia, what I'm pointing out is that if you put it on paper, the US has done way more damage to foreign countries than Russia and China. But don't say it's for democracy or whatever, when all the US wants is cheap oil and food. Half of the world became a US colony, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it just because Putin or Xi Jinping are also scumbags. Answering your questions, yes, China and Russia are also stage red, but the biggest dog in the park is the US, so I'm focusing on who can do more harm with a single bite. As with the honesty question, it is extremely insulting to many people that lived or are currently living under US-backed dictatorships to hear that America is "the land of the free" or that it enforces "democracy" in the world. It's easy to be offended by criticism of your national identity when you never studied about or went to countries that were heavily affected by the foreign policies that gave you the economic and political power you currently enjoy. I recommend you honestly put yourself in the position of people that had their autonomy and sovereignty denied by a country that has a set of values for itself but cannot withstand when other countries use that same set of values to act in a way that they do not approve.
