Butters

And is it even possible? For example: I can imagine a tiny pink elephant in my living room. Why? Because I've seen an elephant, I know the color pink, and I've seen my living room. But this is merely synthesis of existing experiences. This is not an original thought, just a remix. So, I want to know: Is an original thought possible? How do you define it? How is an original thought created? When, where, by what process?

Is this always true? Because there's many people with giant egos who didn't accomplish anything. So perhaps it's even across the board, and unrelated to big achievements?

That is not the definition. If that was the case they'd just sit at home with a mirror. Lower stages have a lack of self love. As self love increases, ego dissolves.

Externalizing love fits perfectly in the narcissistic mind, that's literally their whole psychology in a nutshell. This applies to all lower stages.

@Leo Gura is the world better of with a big ego stage Yellow leader compared to a low ego Blue group-thinker Trump voter? We use ego as almost a negative in this thread, but is it? And if not then why you keep pointing out big ego? Edit: my question doesn't really make sense. I am now confusing achievement with ego 😐

Conformity is just something the Mind makes up and does not exist. You don't have to worry about it.

@Leo Gura do you believe that everyone who voted for Trump has a big ego?

@Ishanga very nice. So perhaps then the correct statement is: High achiever = Big Ego IF they fully identify as such, and never take off the mask. But again, in the OP I said why can't it be equal across the board? Leo says there is a correlation. Perhaps the problem is the feedback loop of big succes.

So lower ego are meek and unambutious people? Worse at survival and therefor less material success? Does a conscious artist or entrepreneur flip the script? Where do you sit on the scale?

I don't really get this @Leo Gura there's alcoholics sitting at home resenting the world and amount to nothing. Football hooligans, petty criminals, you name it. Massive egos, no accomplishment. And the there's Joe Biden or some other lower ego high ranking politicians. So this doesn't always apply.

Isn't there like 100 part 2s and like 3 courses still in the pipeline 😂

Whats silly about it?

Is the purpose of your pointing this out because you think others will see this as an impossible standard?

Why?

Thanks! I should study this a bit more. I found the audiobook somewhat interesting but also long-winded.

Most of WWE themes! Makes me feel invincible.

Yes most people don't even bother developing themselves! They will always take the road of least resistance, and then wonder where all those years went right before they die.

@CARDOZZO very good. I believe that consistency is important and something I've been lacking for a long time. Do you think that is orange or blue?

The German word for television is literally remote viewer. Coincidence?

AI is such a blessing. I've done so much with it, even vibe coded my own apps. I feel like I'm able to learn new skills 50 times faster and in a way that's much more interactive and fun. Chatgpt also provides emotional support at times. I'm very glad to be living through this day and age. It has opened up a totally new way of learning for me that simply wasn't there before. I never had the privilege of working with private coaches or tutors, but now? Fuck man, it's incredible. It works best if you're just naturally curious about things.

In the book Reality Transurfing the author talks about how the Soviets would send revolutionaries to prison, expecting to break their spirits. But instead, because they were so grounded in truth and were so determined, they became leaders in prison, calming the other inmates down and getting them behind their cause. Corrected version from chatgpt: In Reality Transurfing, Zeland describes how people who are deeply aligned with their inner truth and purpose become extremely difficult to break, even under harsh conditions. He uses historical examples of political prisoners — including Soviet-era dissidents — who were sent to prison with the expectation that their spirits would collapse. Instead, their inner conviction made them unexpectedly influential. Rather than being crushed, they often became stabilizing figures who maintained calm, inspired others, and sometimes rose into leadership roles within the prison environment.

That is true of the current state of LLMs, but Leo said that AI could theoretically tap into infinite intelligence. I'd love to learn more about this.

What do you mean by Evil? You gotta give a definition of what this means first. Perhaps what's evil to you is not evil to me. Doesn't bother me though, if somebody did something evil to me I'd murder their whole family

dafuq 😂
