Professor Jiang is proven right once again.

This is a dystopian nightmare. What the fuck has happened to humanity

The title is self explanatory. I had someone I know test this out by sending someone the word "Epstein" on tiktok and this word was banned. I have never used tiktok and never will...but this is just a new level of dystopian nightmare. Larry Ellison has strong ties to Israel and has donated generously to Netanyahu, and he is now basically the owner of TikTok.

This is beyond fucked up. We are truly on the brink of civil war/martial law.

A little late to this thread, but hydroxyapatite is a very good alternative to flouride (it's literally what the outer layer of your teeth are made out of). Use black charcoal toothpaste sparingly. It erodes tooth enamel.

Paul Saladino is a total quack and a clown. His credibility for me is non-existent. He is a hustler who uses fear-mongering and bro-science to sell psuedoscientific bs. All you need to do is look up "Paul Saladino debunking" videos to see what actual doctors have to say about him and the step-by-step procedure for calling out how he just makes stuff up a lot of the times.

Everytime I read a news story about this current administration, I can't help but feel a sense of helplessness. Not a single thing I can do will change the course of events and influence the powers that be...and I am laying witness to TV Shows like Black Mirror and movies like Idiocracy becoming real on a day-to-day basis. All of this has been spoken of endlessly ever since AI began to influence people's lives...yet this begs the question: how do I live a self-actualized life in the face of this? In the rise of a totalitarian government with a demented leader? Climate change? Pollution? Species loss? Mega-corporation greed? The vast majority of people offloading their intellect to AI and becoming idiots in the process? Social media destroying the very fabric of democracy? Just to name a few. I can go on and on... But the main question here is something along the lines of how to live in response to this? How do you personally wake up and live another day despite what's happening right now?

Martin W Ball, the Solandarian Game. it's very sci-fi but has a lot to discuss about consciousness. it's the same the same author who Leo interviewed a while back

I despise Trump as much as any American should, yet I honestly doubt that Trump diddled any kids. If there was any evidence against him, then the democrat-controlled media outlets would have been plastering it all over the news for the past 6 years. I think the real reason Trump is so apprehensive to reveal the Epstein files is because it will reveal the Massad Connection (Israeli version of CIA) and how they have blackmailed virtually every major person in power for decades—especially if they have connections with Epstein. Trump was bailed out by the Rothschild family when he went bankrupt & he owes them for life. I really hope I'm wrong, but I just can't see any way that it's taken this long for any evidence to come out against him.

AI is just a glorified auto-complete software, that's how AI tokens operate. The first video you linked comes from somebody who is not committed to truth and who fear-mongers about the dangers of AI to earn youtube ad revenue. I have my suspicions that the channel itself is AI-generated also. Realistically, all AI is going to do is make the job market even worse than it is and allow for malicious actors to further their greed, power, disinformation campaigns, lies, scams, and exploitation (which it's already doing). Conservative political leaders in the US have been investing so heavily into AI and it's actively destroying critical thinking skills, whereas big tech executives are actively trying to get their children as far away from tech as possible because they know how destructive it is. They send their children to tech-free schools that focus on human interaction and critical thinking whereas several schools in the south have placated the teachers role to AI, which research shows is both inaccurate and hallucinates information regularly. So in this regard, it's making people more stupid, which is exactly what people in power want. All the hype around evil AI (especially on LessWrong) just fuels more and more hype for investors, as you either invest in it and get billions of dollars or don't, and still with the likelihood that it kills us all. We are truly living in dark times, and human intellectualism is experiencing a rapid decline.

What do you see happening by the year 2030, economy wise? will the AI bubble have popped by then? what do you see as possible ramifications for the AI bubble popping?

Seriously, how did the economy get this bad? My generation (gen Z) sends out applications to 100s of jobs and we still struggle to get a single job interview even with the right credentials. I just have to accept at this point that most of us are never going to be able to buy a house or even start a family when we're living paycheck to paycheck due to a system that is rotten down to its core. The level of greed and corruption present in governance, big-tech, and AI firms right now is unprecedented in the history of this country. Clinton had to resign for lying to congress, and almost 30 years later our current president commits crimes on a daily basis. My YouTube algorithm is flooded with doomerism content at this point because of how pessimistic I am about the future, so maybe this is just skewed. How did we let this system get this rotten?

What are some ways to "live life" while in college?

Update: I decided to end my relationship with her. She wants marriage. I don't. She wants kids. I don't. She wants marriage before sex. I don't. Now I can really go out into the world & focus on practice instead of theory.

I remember one of Leo's videos talked about balancing theory vs. practice. How do you personally balance the two?
