I don't agree with him. There is definitely some male bias here and I take responsibility for creating some of that. For the record, I've always been arrogant. But not so arrogant as to be unaware of my biases. We have guys here who look up to Andrew Tate despite anything I say. That's the state of our culture and development. This is not something limited to Actualized.org. Millions of young men online are immature. I try to set an example for a more mature form of masculinity while also not being a total square.

That's his opinion. You don't have to agree with it. People here have a lot of various opinions. You see the world one way, he sees it another way. Rather than blaming each other, trying to understand each other.

Yeah, it's good stuff.

@trenton Do this exercise: https://www.actualized.org/articles/how-to-forgive-anyone-who-hurt-you

Same reason Half-Life 3 hasn't. Because Valve is too busy raking in billions from Steam. It's hard to get a man to do something when he's being paid billions do to something else.

NATO definitely poked a hibernating bear with a stick. But this bear is now on a delusional rampage.

@zurew Like I said, if you want to share a serious, specific plan for how to move our governments to Game B, I will listen. I have not really heard such a thing yet. I am not interested into poo-pooing it if it has a chance of working.

Haha

Question everything, raise your consciousness, and jailbreak your mind.

Well, I'm open to hearing these systems you allude to. What are they? And are they actually something that can pass through our political system, or are they pie-in-sky stuff? There exists nothing even remotely close to that. Even your wildest AI scf-fi fantasy is not as dangerous as a nuke. And no normie person will get access to such AI. Military style AIs will be locked away just like nukes. There will never be a foolproof gauarantee of safety against AI anymore than there are for nukes or viruses. There is always a small risk of something bad slipping through our guard. The solution is just to guard better.

That is not why there is a lack of women on this forum. The style of my work is not appealing to most women. And my YT views are 75% men as a default. Women tend to do spirituality in different ways than what I teach.

What is ridiculous is how little you are contemplating the intelligent things I told you. Instead coming back at me with such silly false equivalencies. Chinese economic progress is largely the result of adopting Western business practices and trade with the West. So that supports my point more than yours. If China and Russia both went full West, they would have even more economic abundance. It means a guy appointing himself dictator for life. Don't play stupid with me. Hermeneutics? Are you fucking kidding me? Putin will rape you in the ass with a poison-tipped dildo. There's your hermeneutics. Yeah, well, my understanding of love excludes poisoning your political opponents, throwing journalists and oligarchs out of windows, or imprisoning gays and minorities in re-education camps. - - - - - It's like you didn't even consider for a minute the things I said above. So I will stop here. Think before you respond to me.

That wisdom comes with development. You can't have wisdom when you can't feed your children. You can't just tell people to stop caring about survival and pursue wisdom. Notice that humans still behave like animals without any technology.

That's a very charitable characterization of Chinese authoritarianism. Dugin is a nationalist, which is not very intelligent. There is something universal to Consciousness and human psychic development. Or if not universal, at the very least human. We're not dealing with xenomorphs here. We're dealing with fellow humans. Morality is not purely relative within humans, there is a shared genetic basis. Do not pretend like tribes of humans are all aliens to each other. It's not messianic thinking, it's Consciousness and Love. But more practically, to your level of comprehension, there is such a thing as cognitive, moral, political, and spiritual development. And China and Russia are both "objectively" less developed on average than America. Not everything is as relative as you claim. As I said above, if you want one simple objective metric of a country's development just look at the corruption index and LGBTQ rights: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2022 https://www.equaldex.com/equality-index You can try to weasel your way out of this by appeals to relativity, but don't kid yourself. People abuse relativity quite badly to make silly moral false equivalencies. Russia and China are less cognitively, morally, spiritually, and politically developed than America. And that is why their economies are weaker and the rich flee from there. Most of the best scientists, engineers, and businesspeople leave Russia and China for the West. Why do you think I'm in America and not in Russia? The kind of work I do could not be done in Russia or China. They would have killed me long ago. Thus the Western world primarily benefits from my work. And I'm just one example.

Look, we've had nukes, chemical weapons, and biological weapons for 70 years and we've managed to do pretty well. Humans aren't all that stupid. Realistically, we're not developing anything more dangerous than nukes yet. At the end of the day if this AI gets out of hand we will just bomb the shit out of it. It's not some invincible monster. We can track the location of every major datacenter where these AI could live.

I am skeptical of this binary paradigm. I think it is all too popular to overdramatize the death of mankind. There is a realist middle ground where lots of people suffer but mankind lives on as always, slowly evolving as we tend to do. One thing I know for sure is that we are not gonna get rid of our devilry any time soon. Never bet against the devil

Reminds of the Joe Pesci character from Casino. He had a soft side, in between beating your head in with a telephone and crushing your head in a vise.

Bitter, mentally-ill people come from all backgrounds.

You have much to learn in the ways of scamming people, young Padawan. Humble yourself before the scam-master.

I don't know that playing Game B will help you survive when you are encircled by sharks. I think the biggest mistake these Game B theorists make is underestimating the resilience of human civilization. Human civilization is the most anti-fragile thing on this planet. That's my guess. But I could be wrong.

Except you can't make a baby any faster by telling your wife, "We don't have that much time to fuck around." It will take as long as it takes. Humans are selfish and stubborn, and you can't moralize them out of it. As much as I love Schmachtenberger, he lives in a fantasy land of 1st world privlege. As do all of his friends. Putin will come and rape all their wives. That's how Game B ends if you are not careful. Game B ONLY works when every player in the game is developed to Tier 2. And almost noone is. So just calculate how long it will be till a majority of humans are Tier 2. There is your timeline.

@RebornConsciousness Silence! Where is your Bugatti?

Dugin almost sounds convincing, until you realize he's full of shit. Putin's philosophy is a loser. As was communism. Communism and capitalism were not equal systems. One was better. And Putin is making an analogous mistake again, setting Russia back again. Putin should have liberalized and Westernized, as Ukraine did. An alliance between the US and Russia would have been a strong net gain for Russia. Now Russia is committed to backwardness for decades while the US will have an AI revolution. Putin's lust for power has set his country back in progress. The problem for Putin is that progress in not compatible with his authoritarian style. So of course it is an existential threat to him. China will face a similar problem. Progress will be an existential threat to the CCP. Their government structure is not sustainable. These are the problems I see with this whole multi-polar world theory. Not all the poles are equal in moral development. Spin it all you want, but at the end of the day Russia and China are corrupt as fuck, which is the key metric of development. And neither of them want to admit it. They act like their shit don't stink when in fact it stinks more than American shit. America is far from perfect, but Russia and China are further from perfect, except that they also both lie to themselves about that.

These days men are pussies, so don't worry

@zurew Timeframe becomes very important here. In the long-run everything will probably converge to a hive-mind techno-Communism. But not for a 1000 years.
