Bingo. Leo's Pussy Rorschach Test What does Pussy mean to you?

Not necessarily. You could conceive of it in various ways. There's not necessarily one right way to think of it. Which is why I leave it up to your imagination.

Vylana is nearly 40. What is the power imbalance? She can leave any time. She just doesn't want to. So what are we supposed to do about that? Belittle and shame her online until she feels so bad she leaves? Women select bad men all the time. Which is why I wasn't so opposed to their arrangement. If I had to spend my time telling women to leave their bad boyfriends, that would be a full time career And the bottom line is, they don't want to leave because they get survival value out of it. I don't like being in a position where I have to tell a woman to leave a guy because she is deluded and he is bad for her but she really likes him anyway. Of course not the entire field. But that culture as a whole has little regard for truth and loves to engage in spiritual rationalizations of their survival behaviors. People join the New Age for the spiritual fantasies. Then shit hits the fan as you can't outrun the truth.

That is a fair point. That does reveal a devilry in his behavior.

@Puer Aeternus Great share! Thanks.

That's simply because a totalitarian military state needs to control industry. If the USA's plan was to go to war with half the world, to conquer half of Europe, it too would need heavy top-down control of industry. Also, what TIK fails to comprehend because he's a libertarian, is that hardcore conservatives are also collectivist. That's Stage Blue. But he doesn't understand such nuances. Left vs right cannot be understood as collectivist vs individualist. That's really wrong analysis. But a libertarian cannot see this. Is the Taliban conservative? Yes. Is it individualist? No! Nationalism is a collectivist stage for obvious reasons.

Huh? Elaborate please.

Sorry about that. But during that time I have collected even more books. So the new list has doubled from last year. This will be my biggest, juiciest update ever.

That is a valid point and one I'm concerned about. However, I don't think we can reach 30%+ unemployment long-term without general intelligence. As long as AI is not generally intelligent it will be hard to replace humans, even if the AI is very capable at narrow things like coding.

@Daniel Balan If you want to avoid delusion, instead of watching some rando on YT making political videos, read 5 books by serious historians about Hitler. There's your solution. I told you yesterday: high quality sources, and multiple sources. Not this TIK guy. The surest way to get deluded is to watch random political videos on the internet. That's like swimming naked at night in a swamp full of crocodiles. Truly great political analysis online is like 1 in 100. Which is one of the reasons why I cover politics, to at least provide some Tier 2 sanity.

Yeah, that is good. It is funny though how zero responsibilty is placed on the women. Like, these two women get to fuck a handsome famous mega-millionaire. And none of that is their fault. They could have shacked up with a thousand other guys, but they just so happen to love the guy who is worth $50+ million and takes them on fun vacations around the globe. He's the evil one and they are just helpless innocent pawns who are being exploited and abused. Also, all these New Age women believe such fantasies. And that's all okay. But as soon as Aubrey does the same, now all the sudden it's spiritual delusion and 1+1=2. Astrology? -- no problem. Isis telling Aubrey to have children? -- delusion. The entire field of New Age spirituality is delusion. So they are perfect for each other. As if a monogamous New Age couple would not have equal amount of spiritual delusions about their twin flame soul connection, blah blah blah. New Age people are not doing truth-seeking, they are doing survival with spiritual flavors. So what you see with Aubrey is spirit-flavored survival, because he never did serious truth-seeking. That's not why he or his girls got into spirituality. They all wanted spiritual flavored survival. So that's exactly what they got.

The polar opposite of a wise decision.

Don't take TIK seriously. He is self-deceived by libertarianism. His understanding of socialism and capitalism is very flawed. Libertarianism is a foolish ideology. That's where he screwed up. As I said, avoid all ideology. People voted for Hitler for the same reason hardcore MAGA voted for Trump. People are very fond of nationalism. Nationalism is very powerful force in politics. Socialism has nothing to do with it.

To be clear, I am not predicting that. What I said was an imagine-if scenario. ChatGPT is not general intelligence and it will not achieve general intelligence using its current structure.

I would rather leave it vague, abstract, and undefined. I invite folks to just contemplate the issue and see what insights arise.

When I said crazies, I didn't refer to all mentally ill people. I mean the truly unhinged ones. The word crazy has a useful purpose. Can it be overused? Sure. If people behave in unhinged ways around me, yes, I will call them crazy. I've had people write me messages that will come to my house and torture me and then kill themselves. That's the internet for you.

No, dark world is just as real. Imagine you are 5 year old child in Gaza today and your family all died in a bombing. That's REAL. You've just been so lucky in life that you don't know that world exists.

By that logic we are all DEAD.

Some of them are so far gone they like the shithole.

No, there isn't. Not in the scenario I gave you. There is no room for you to create anything if AI does it 10x better than you while you sleep. Is there room for chimpanzees in university? Only as lab animals.

Of course intentionally. He is against psychedelics so I don't mention it to him.

I can't tell everyone who's crazy. They have to be quite seriously crazy to see it in their posts. I wasn't refering to you. I don't mean all people with mental illness are crazies, but I've had my share of dangerous encounters with mentally unhinged people. A crazy can kill you if one isn't careful. This doesn't apply to most mentally ill people. But still one must be careful because there are plenty of twisted toxic people on the internets.

No. I used exactly the key word.

Childish fantasies.

@Gidiot Try to imagine a scenario where any work you want to do in life, any art, AI can do 10x better, faster, cheaper. Really imagine that world! What would you live for? You better pray that world never comes.
