I understand you, it came to mind other day that Leo may use his energy to the purpose that is fit to him. There is a lot o people that dedicate their lifes to understand and dismantle systems of oppression. Of course having a mind as Leo engaged in this goal would be great. But is up to him. -

What is actually a Jew or Israelite? Suposelly all started with Abraham a land lord. -
Do you think my question for Claude on Epistemic Rigour was Epistemicaly Irresponsible? This is an honest question not a need for validation. I want to use it better. Not to avoid thinking for myself. Because even if the answer comes from AI or from you from my POV are both external sources of knowing, I still need to verify any claim by direct experience.

Yes I think asking save the world was asking too much, I just was trying to see how it would tackle the question. Of course AI can even grasp what sort of Truth I was refering to.

I asked Claude a question like this Can deep epistemic rigour save the world? ( based on the recent post about corruption and caring about Truth. The answer What a question. Let me take it seriously. The case that it can: Deep epistemic rigour — careful attention to how we form beliefs, what evidence we demand, how we reason under uncertainty — does seem load-bearing for almost every civilizational challenge. Climate policy fails partly because motivated reasoning and tribal epistemics let people discount overwhelming evidence. AI safety is hard partly because researchers don't rigorously interrogate their own assumptions. Pandemic response failed partly because institutions couldn't update quickly on new data. In each case, better thinking seems like it would help. There's also a compounding argument: the people and institutions that shape the world disproportionately — scientists, policymakers, judges, engineers — are exactly the people whose epistemic habits matter most. Improving those habits at the margin could have outsized effects. The case that it can't: Rigour is a tool, not a motivation. The most epistemically careful person can still pursue narrow or destructive ends. And the world's most catastrophic actors aren't usually making reasoning errors — they're often quite clear-eyed about what they want and how to get it. The problem is values, not epistemics. There's also a coordination problem. Even if every individual reasoned perfectly, collective action problems, power asymmetries, and structural incentives can produce terrible outcomes from perfectly rational actors. Game theory is full of tragedies that require no irrationality at all. And then there's the elitism trap: "if everyone just reasoned better" can become a way of blaming ordinary people for the failures of systems designed to exploit cognitive shortcuts. The demand for rigour can itself become a rhetorical weapon — used to dismiss intuitions that are actually tracking something real but hard to formalize. A more honest synthesis: Epistemic rigour is probably necessary but very far from sufficient. It matters most in specific, high-leverage contexts: how scientific institutions self-correct, how policy incorporates uncertainty, how AI systems are evaluated. In those domains, the difference between sloppy and rigorous thinking is enormous. But "saving the world" also requires things rigour can't supply on its own — moral seriousness, political will, solidarity, luck, and coordination mechanisms that make cooperation rational even for self-interested actors. Perhaps the best version of the claim isn't that rigour saves the world directly, but that epistemic cowardice — the willingness to believe comfortable things, to avoid updating, to confuse fluency with understanding — is one of the most reliable engines of catastrophe. Rigour, in that sense, is less a solution than a discipline against self-destruction. So: probably not sufficient. Possibly necessary. Definitely underrated.

As Israel Zionism is somehow based on Whiteness or Whitesupremacy ( and the reason America and Israel relate so well. Is worth study whiteness or whitesupremacy. Or the minds infect by it. Is a sort of mind virus. Good start is here -

Some boys killed a comunity dog called "Orelha" in South Brasil. Same behavior, torture of the inocent dog. The whole country entered in havoc. I dont know how the situation is now but people were really revolted. Sorry for the AI content. Was the best I could find in English. In this case the Boys were helped to escape to Disney to avoid being judged. Selfishness have consequences -

I am rewatching the episode on Not Knowing and realizing that I am posturing many things as known when I actually dont know. It feels that knowing is a sort of mechanism to avoid the fear of not knowing. Is like when you meet someone, one starts trying to gather information as soon as possible about the person in order to feel a sense of security, because to interact not knowing something about who is in front of you is subtly scary, who knows who is this person in front of you? Maybe a psyco and one wish to fill the gap knowing something about him or her very fast. We do this with reality all the time, trying to fake we know it all, avoiding with all costs living in not knowing.

To be honest, wacthing New Rich people desperating on Dubai is hard to apply the principle of not celebrating others people infortunes. Imagine going to a place that you thougth would be a safe heaven plus avoiding taxes and suddenly there are bombs falling in your paradise. I will not post videos, filor sure they will pop up on your feeds. -

A video not exactly about the attacks but about Iran Itself and how it became what it is. there is so much we dont know about a country. -
This Jonathan Blow video hit me. These days I was getting myself in the same situation he describes. Of course I can enjoy my good thinks, food,music, the nature, beach etc.. in my life, but I looks like very good creative stuff is more and more rare. And I know is my duty to create this goodness if I feel it lacks in the world. But still very less things feel worth.

I think this topic will not evolve till we het the Alien consciousness course by @Leo Gura. Let be true, non of us where made direct contact with Aliens. Is just speculation all way down. Is really worth to focus on this or better to focus on the basic Understanding Reality rigth in front of your eyes? Reality is already very Alien for most Humans, i mean, even a tree, a cat a insect in front of our eyes may become a Alien worth trying to understand. -
Related to the Quote about Seeing Uglyness and Trying to become less ugly. Yesterday some girls were watching the Documentary below and I could see the uglyness of this behaviors in Model Fashion Industry. Tyra Banks show levels of self deception worth observing, imagine having the guts to rationalise what she did in that show. I could not watch it fully. These Reality Shows are themselfs examples of uglyness. And the amount of people who vener this shows is an example of how people value the wrong things.
