  1. I don't know the validity in what he says
  2. "The words "religion" and "ligament" share the same linguistic root. Both descend from the Proto-Indo-European leig- (to tie or bind), and the Latin ligare (to bind or tie)." It's good for ignorant(unaccepting) tribes survival. Perhaps religion is an extension of the socialiability in humans, 'accepting' or mimicking mental illness.
  3. They're both submissive, black-pilled is 'the top guys get all the girls' but the followers then go on to elevate the 'top guys' by idolozing them. AI hype is 'these Data Bros are the greatest', I want to be in on this, i want to be them so I'll support it, I'll support them. Quite sad.
  4. 'Perfection of God' 'Made perfect' 'all knowing' 'all powerful' I don't remember if these were suggested in the video, I'm just drawing my own connection here.
  5. You people believe that the people already trying to control humans by social media algorithms - have good intentions with AI
  6. Shamans were schizotypal, 'spoke to the dead or spirits, saw the future,....' Rituals are OCD, washing, cleansing, purifying, ornamentals, need to be perfectly clean, magical numbers, food rituals and beliefs, food prohibitions, prayer rituals. Freud, religion is a universal obsession of neurosis. Decreasing anxiety, collectively. Martin Luther, suffered from anxiety, figured out the use of religion for this, Fasting, anorexia, nuns did "holy fasting", starved themselves Faith, gives a sense of agency and control when you're overwhelmed by not understanding what's going on. People hallucinating patterns in things like Jesus on a piece of toast, stressed people that feel helpless see patterns. Autism, 'God preserves abstract physical laws' Prefrontal cortex damage, higher rate of mystical experiences Temporal lobe epilepsy, obsessive writing, afraid of novel things, build close knit group. Saint Paul(wrote most? of the books of new testament) No religiosity gene Big gods emerged with larger societies More problems in the society, more religiosity( from more mental illness?) Religion keeps mentally ill away from substance abuse. Religion can protect people with these mental illnesses, they fit in the community. Mentally ill can still cooperate with the rest of the group, they fit in. So, Leo is an overwhelmed autistic with temporal lobe epilepsy.... j/k It's Myers Briggs but for religion....
  7. @NewKidOnTheBlock ah I see why you're upset, I hadn't read the other thread. Im not sure how the market is going to act, obviously trump will bail them out in the blink of an eye so I think it will be buoyed but with inflation against the dollar. I'm not sure when it will happen either, it could last a few years, probably with inflation the entire time though. I'm more worried about u.s. national debt, Europe should fare a lot better than the U.S., probably get all our cheap oil because we go into a serious recession.
  8. See, you see it too. Welcome to the resistance
  9. I just said that. Glad you finally see the light ✊️
  10. Imagine living here without tech. You live here It's not about no tech by the way, it's about how it's used Why would A.I. be about helping people when even you guys say helping people hurts them, the Data Bros say the same thing, everyone needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. There's enough resources now to help everyone and these are the same people that have it.
  11. Bank of International Settlements (BIS) https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-losing/ Thiel drives me crazy 'We're technologically stagnant' 'The free market innovates and will solve everything' 'regulations Are why we're stagnant' Thiel is completely Investing in "regulated" u.s., why is he and a couple other billionaires not moving into a country they run as liberterian, most of the countries of the world could be taken over by a hedge fund. Thiel 'The antichrist will warn about armegeddon' Theil goes on world tour warning about Armegeddon...... This opens another question, is that the idea with the focus on Argentina, will they milk the West to develop A.I. and then offshore it like it was done with manufacturing? Carnegie Endowment for International Peace https://carnegieendowment.org Right-Wing Populism and Strategic Realignment: Argentina's Milei ... Apr 6, 2026 — Milei thus occupies an unusual ideological niche: a libertarian insurgent who deploys populist rhetoric to advance an anti-populist economic Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.com Peter Thiel's Move to Argentina Reflects Billionaire Trend May 29, 2026 — Peter Thiel is reportedly moving to Argentina, part of a trend among billionaires looking to live abroad as they hedge their bets on the US. https://apnews.com Trump suggests buying Argentine beef to lower prices for US consumers Oct 20, 2025 — President Donald Trump says the United States could buy Argentine beef in an attempt to bring down prices for American consumers. PBS https://www.pbs.org Why Trump is giving Argentina a $20 billion lifeline to help its flailing economy Oct 17, 2025 — The Trump administration authorized a $20 billion financial lifeline for Argentina as it faces an economic crisis. The deal has raised major All of the AI data bros are liberterian. Why did America-first Trump support imports for a product produced locally by his base, why did America-first trump give money to argentina. why wouldn't they offshore AI? Is this why they want crypto? If you create A.I., you can move entire economies to anywhere. Not even AGI, just human level A.I., you don't need a super intelligence, just mining human intelligence would work, you don't need to surpass humans, you can just copy them. Is this behind the desire for Greenland, not for the u.s. to take it but for a sovereign Greenland for the taking. Arctic Today https://www.arctictoday.com Former Trump staffer, ex-Greenland official plan 'world's largest' AI data center ... Feb 11, 2026 — According to Greenland's public broadcaster KNR, Horn intends to build a large data center that could use 300 megawatts of electricity as Curtis Yarvin is in cahoots with Andreesen, I didn't know that, he's best friends with Thiel and JD Vance
  12. I hate this guy, he is an autistic devil, but he's very knowledgeable. I ascribe the initiation of the AI boom to him, he's a Peter Thiel but actually reads books... https://a16z.com/ai-will-save-the-world/ https://www.masterresource.org/energy-debate/techno-optimist-manifesto-andreessen/ These people just make crazy claims without giving any evidence, zero evidence. He's an autistic conservative, an autistic parrot, lacking critical thinking. He believes climate change will be solved by market acceleration because we had great tech advancements at the turn of the 20th century..... He lists about ten paragraphs in a row one after the other starting with "we believe" and goes on to spout the typical liberterian talking points. The guy is a religious feudalist.
  13. "Don't feed your children, it doesn't pay or inspire"
  14. "How close we are near the END of the exponential" Does this really make sense? The END of exponentia? WTF AI giant Anthropic prepares to sell stock to the public; files preliminary IPO paperwork June 1, 20262:27 PM ET this is the interview that is from, he talks about AI only doing 80% of coding. That's near the END of the "exponential"? Here's a shortened version of the interview, and Darios predictions This interview 4 months ago, echoes his essay from 2 years ago, like a script, a sales pitch. https://darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace 2024 "What powerful AI (I dislike the term AGI) Doubling of the human lifespan18. This might seem radical, but life expectancy increased almost 2x in the 20th century (from ~40 years to ~75), so it’s “on trend” that the “compressed 21st” would double it again to 150. Most mental illness can probably be cured. Advances in crop technology like better fertilizers and pesticides, more automation, and more" These are stupid claims, like a used car salesman. There's no way you could know that any medical innovation could increase life expectancy to 150 years, or "cure" a mental illness, he thinks he's God lol
  15. Europe is studying proposals that may allow the charging of navigational fees in the strait of Hormuz https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/11/europe-considers-proposals-navigational-fees-strait-of-hormuz-iran-us Make Iran Great Again. This is amusing
  16. It's insane. I have no faith in the future of the dollar. Not that I partake in crypto. Hedge funds are trying to bring banks into the A.I. race for funding, so if that crashes the government will be on the hook for a substantial portion of that too.
  17. I didnt post any AI, you people are on AI Crack The Seattle Times https://www.seattletimes.com Microsoft stock suffers worst month since 2000 Jul 1, 2026 — Microsoft's share price fell by 19% in June, marking the company's worst month on Wall Street in almost 26 years "Anthropological studies of modern hunter-gatherer societies (which serve as our best models for ancient populations) show that elders who survived to adulthood regularly lived to be 68 to 78 years old. They played highly valued roles in their communities as caretakers, storytellers, and holders of vital survival" Modern Africans in industrialized countries live to 60 on average Primitive cultures still around are the healthiest people, living fully functional lives into their 90s while Americans are in wheelchairs. NBC News https://www.nbcnews.com Amazon Tsimane People Have the Healthiest Hearts Mar 17, 2017 — You can try to argue about childhood mortality, but that also evolves the race to live longer and longer. Not that you could expect the same results anyway if you alone removed just the contraception variable and overpopulated society, you'd probably go extinct from endless plagues or nuclear holocaust. Science | AAAS https://www.science.org Indigenous groups in the Amazon evolved resistance to deadly Chagas Mar 8, 2023 — Indigenous peoples from the Amazon, have a gene variant that might protect them against Chagas disease, according to a new Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure industrialized humans are devolving
  18. Carter, this is nonsensical
  19. Literal family sizes, adult children, are half, not just fertility rates, but how big living families are. "the year 1800, families were significantly larger than they are today. The average American woman had seven to eight children. Because many of these children survived to adulthood and lived together in agricultural or trade-based economies, the average household size ranged from six to eight members."
  20. This is just very bad. If child mortality rates declined, you would not expect smaller family sizes. Nonsensical
  21. You just admitted that fertility decreased before life expectancy increased. Not only that, family size decreased with lower fertility, you're not making sense by attributing lower fertility to higher life expectancy. Family size should have stayed the same or increased if that was true.
  22. Exactly, lower fertility rates improved life expectancy, good job Grok, you proved yourself wrong, go tell Elon he's fat.
