You're right, it's not like an ordinary tool that solves something out of sheer mechanical advantage. If a tool is something that can help achieve a goal, the entire tool of AI is to help you achieve your goal. But it has no limits because it deals with the concept of a goal rather than a simple 1:1 correct solution. There's no problem for AI to solve until a human gives it one and the result is pure abstraction. Tools provide a solution which we abstract to call it a tool while AI provides only an abstraction than could potentially be used to actualize the event. Imagination as a tool is not taught or explored so for many AI will just be for personal small time type issues like how to change a lightbulb or whatever.

If Leo told people that based on some piece on information it would lead to self actualization and enlightenment he'd be a fraud. He plainly puts the onus on you. That's the information he's trying to share. If he tells you you've found it you won't even begin to search.

I'd recommend checking out a guided Wim Hof Method video if you haven't already tried it. Focus on your breath by treating it like a running exercise where improvement is made by properly pacing yourself, balancing each stride/breath for improved congruence, momentum and stability. Some people struggle to breath for one reason or another so this video's mechanical pace and structure are ill suited for them and it becomes more difficult to breath naturally (to avoid overexertion/injury) without some personalized feedback: Guided Wim Hof Method Breathing I find it difficult to remain dedicated or focused to individually count from 1-40 chained breaths with no inhale or exhale gap (begin breathing opposite direction without pausing, (not by jerking forcefully just by leaving no time gap between breaths)). Once a distraction hits you, you will pause briefly between breaths until you catch yourself doing it or give up. That's why I find this guided breathing video so helpful, it takes me through the process more unconsciously. The homeostasis that's broken between C02 and O2 levels in the body shocks the nervous system into a panic that overreacts in a way to stimulate dormant cells. Similar to an inflammation but for the stuff that helps regulate the body instead, winds up overriding the minds distress and "taking back control" (resetting the nervous system). It's almost as if going into a dream and reawakening, it is has a rejuvenating effect.

@zazen Say trump is surrounded by better advisors, you're optimistic about his platform outside of appearances.. He's an antibiotic to the left's stifling decadence which causes the collapse of civilization.. This is the type of stuff that boggles my mind, how are you capable of such mental gymnastry. Ultimately it's not very important but I just find it fascinating to see how intellectualism can be used to justify Trump outside of it being a mistake.

@questionreality This forum is meant to be generally inclusive, there are people of all stages of development here. When someone says good riddence trump tastes his own medicine, be aware that that's not a representation of quality conciousness, it's just short sighted and mean. You can try and help out by pointing things out you take issue with, but realize you're role could be to help people develop! You seem to be using the opportunity to instead hammer more nails in a coffin that holds people you detest.

In Canada, "illegals" are separate from immigration. Illegals are people who have smuggled themselves into Canada unauthorized which is rare because of our lone border belonging to the States. It would be people over plane refusing to leave or something like that. We invite people who are skilled workers (and their families) that are prepared to work in a field Canada deems required/in their best interests to strengthen. This is introducing an extremely competitive environment for everyone and employers aren't being incentivized to offer employees more. When an industry makes a request - they are able to choose from a global pool of potential candidates, of which there are 10000X more than they need who are qualified. They have their pick of the litter across all nations. Why would they consider training the current population or accepting less experienced local candidates? That's what makes it so challenging for average joes born in raised in Canada. Now this is perfectly fine to raise a competitive and bolstered economy if plans were made in terms of infrastructure (both affordability and its expanse). Canada's government doesn't have control of housing or construction, they contract it out. They don't have the tools they need to strongarm the development that should be requisite when a pop growth is outsourced. We can't have children because of affordability, not only ideology/culture changes. It's rough, and too competitive. Houses shouldn't be a source of investment. A house is like a car, it should lose value once its been lived in not gain value lol

When you win the lottery is there any reason to give it back? We aren't born as slugs, rocks, planets or dogs. Our experience feels consistent. What if you were consistently experiencing the life of any creature or bacteria etc on earth? Would that be better? I really do think we've got it pretty good on the known cosmic scale of things that could be conscious like us.

@Gennadiy1981 I understand that one person has a right to speak on the forum, but many people who view the forum choose not to speak because they can't really genuinely attempt to contribute to a thread in a new way. So if one person repeatedly expresses their view it really skews a conversation in a way inauthentic to the community. These people should be called out.

But Leo, why not post your paid content as a donation and allow people to pay what they feel they can afford? Are you worried that monetization wouldn't net you enough to make it worthwhile? Your patrons would ultimately leave you high and dry?

Why is falling from a great height terrifying? If you knew you'd be okay, what's scary about it? As in, you weren't going to die because you were capable and alacritous. You've been able to survive all this time, yet no time was different than the fear you felt. And it did not end your life, you're okay.

Cold approach in any city in the GTA is viable, there's tons of people and many are outgoing. You'd have to travel far (2 hour+) to find a small enough town where that'd get weird fast. Most people are in groups but sometimes that can work out to an advantage as people might actually be more willing to engage with strangers while grouped up. Since you're only there for 4 months, you can really get a chance to appreciate the city and a new environment without the drawback of being forced to make it work. You're not forced to move there forever or are planning to, so don't fret. Do you have a job lined up, are your finances prepared? That's the biggest factor that will ensure your security. What's your style of musicianship? In general live music is hotly contested and secured by regular performers even over a year in advance. You'd need a very special portfolio and skillset to shoehorn your way into a bar or club <4 months. That being said, you could immerse yourself in rehearsal spaces/jam zones, meetups, open mics, busking, and freebie gigs. You could try to attend as many music related events as possible to work on networking + pickup (keep it separate from the band though). You may wish to take the time to do a music style retreat, where you regiment your practice and plan it out in advance, so you're always making progress regardless of social hits.

How can Biden "do well" in the future? His health has deteriorated and it's at the point where he is really, really struggling to meet his obligations. If you can't see that than I imagine you assume they've got him cranked with some special benjamin button juice? He didn't just discover breathwork or something to make a life and death defying stunt. It's like asking someone to vote for Trump but in this case Trump's a good guy. It just doesn't feel right to people because they are voting an incompetent leader into office who just isn't as funny as donald. If they want to have an impact on the system, they may believe voting for the bad party would have the best chance of causing an uproar that would hopefully result in competent leaders stepping up to the plate. There's no real plan, it's a tear it down strategy based in an ideology that things would be better changed and the resulting change would surely be better because of how bad it is now. But they won't rationalize it, or talk about it. But they will either not vote or vote to "expose" the joke. Exposing it seems more crystal clear from the irony of Trump but this is a donkey looking in the mirror type situation.

@Chadders What did or did not happen will ever elude you but when you look back or project it takes a nebulous cloud and condenses it into a story that you recall, as it's recalled. What that is is consciousness, which is your gift. But as for when it happened, this is a contrivance. It exists, but not only in the way you remember it.

My father showed me this video and explained to me how he resonated with non violent communication as a paradigm shown here. My response was to tell him when violence is received viscerally, the response leads to violence against violence, or at least intolerance. And that this intolerance delivered an apathy towards a violent individual that would lead to the inability to reverse the cycle of judgment leading to a cruel sentence, mimicking the violence. I'm an asshole for doing that but I don't know what other anecdotes to use to stop discord

Imaginary numbers are interesting because they imply numbers are not imaginary. As in, how to represent the square root of a negative number, only being possible with a combination of numbers that aren't mathematically possible. The nomenclature imaginary was established because of how insulting an early mathematician found the concept to be. There is a statistical bias on real numbers existing.
