I heard in an interview that the structure of the internet is not conducive to share nuanced ideas and having productive conversations or arguments. The two main reasons are that people feel disinhibited due to the internet being anonymous and all the context is lost through reading text. For example sarcasm and irony is hard to detect in written word.

Right so I never said that it never works. Rationality just doesn't work all the time like in emerald's case. Also even if it works the science shows that it's not the best way.

@Emeraldall you did was find the limits of rationality. You were operating on a false principle that rationality is the best way to win arguments. This is obviously false because everyone thinks they are being being rational and also feelings don't care about facts. The best way to persuade someone is make then feel like your are on their team (aka tribe) and find the common ground.

The guys in this debate have a huge disadvantage because it's progressive and acceptable in society to celebrate women. While at the same time criticizing men is also seen as progressive and is popular thing to do. While criticizing women is very distasteful and feels like something a chauvinist pig would do.

Women are pretty awesome and are more capable than we give them credit for. But here's what modern day society forgets: the same thing can be said about men. These labels often turn into a self fulfilling prophecy so we have to be careful what we say about each other and what we tell our kids. If we beat into our kids that men are inherently evil they might behave better but they will become demotivated and disenfranchised and stay at home playing video games and porn.

Don't you know @Leo Guraonly women are allowed to have grievances on the way things are and about the opposite gender? If men complain it's toxic and automatically inaccurate. /S

On one hand, your skin gives you feeling and appearance. On the other hand, your skeleton gives you structure and form. So if you had to choose one which would it be? Have you ever thought of these two things as different? Happy spooktober everyone

Im taking about the IRL world and growing up in it. That's the impression and vibe I got.

Yes it's become somehow sexist to say women are better with kids. Like wtf?

It's interesting, when men do something better than women we attributed it to male privilege and unfair biases. But when women do something better we attributed to women being superior. And also there is an implied narrative that this whole time society was mistaken and it's women who can do everything better. Women played the ultimate Uno reverse card.

Just keep trying different things and don't give up. Read self help books/audiobooks/podcasts, excersise, eat healthy, have a steady sleep schedule, find a new friend or partner that raises you up, etc

i think this is the influence of Leo . I see more and more interviews like this but I l after Leo pioneered the way.

Me speculating that Leo has potentially influenced other YouTubers is offensive to you? Sure. Good point.

How do you know they wouldn't do that in another country?

Why do you feel you need to be rude and sarcastic? Its not like what I said was offensive or controversial. Watching Alex's career I think he is influenced by Leo. I also think that more people online and IRL are talking about this (ancient) stuff because of Leo. BUT I'm open to being wrong, it could just be confirmation bias at work. Thanks for your engagement in this.

Yes

Very inspiring routine. Daily public speaking challenge, learning a language very impressive stuff. Sounds like you need to work out more specifically cardio and weights. Working out is perhaps the single greatest thing you can do for your health, and it will give you more energy too, and help you sleep better. Try creatine too as if gives you tons of energy.

Great point

Looking for cracks in others is a classic self deception trap. If Leo has cracks then so do you. You claim to have outgrown Leo yet you are spending your precious time on the forum exposing his mistakes, mistakes he doesn't even deny having. That's pretty low conscious behavior wouldn't you say? Otherwise your argument is well articulated and definitely has some validity to it. I hope I don't discourage your from sharing your insights as I believe they are quite good and you write well. Cheers

A Little Chinese history and why China's infrastructure is the envy of the world, in Harris' signature style.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/jesus-disciples-were-illeterate This is an incredible, creative, and original insight @Leo Gura a mind blowing post.

Good point. At least Leo has admitted that he is wrong sometimes and it's up to us to determine when that is. Also if he spoke hesitantly maybe he would reach less people. Also I think his fans have to be careful to not subconscious adopt Leo's rhetoric. Which would be a mistake

Glad you liked it. Ya its well done and has some really interesting facts about the Chinese political system I didn't know. Like that Chinese politicians are elected but they are graded by the Communist Party on how well they perform. That to me makes a lot of sense but it's also scary how much the CCP is involved with everything.

On how we can never be certain about anything and also a sober look at the AGI hypers/doomers.

That's a relatable story, good insight and great examples! Furthermore all bad moods, anger, and disappointment could be seen as a selfishness. When something doesn't work out the way we want but ignore all the good things we do have and others may never get, we are being selfish.
