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.

By following the fundamental principles of epistemoloy and philosophy that I laid out for you. Grounding yourself in direct experience. Keen attention to bias. Consciousness work. Caring deeply about truth. Avoiding any ideology or group-think. Studying all the self-deception mechanisms. Contemplation. Construct-awareness. Paradigm-awareness. Relativity. Radical openmindedness. Reading many diverse sources and perspectives. High quality sources, not ideological junk. Meditation. You know all this. Now do it.

Most blackpill guys have serious childhood trauma, abuse, broken families, missing parents, evil mothers, drug addict parents, poverty, depression, mental illness, chemical imbalance, low education, low IQ, low physical appearance, terrible social skills, profound introversion, autism, Aspergers, zero social experience, bad ideological indoctrination. Yeah, you cannot imagine how bad it is. It's way worse than what you imagine. If you knew their childhoods and life experiences you would be horrified and their beliefs would make perfect sense to you. These people live in hell and depression and dream of suicide or killing women. It's a sick, sinister, dark form of consciousness. You could almost call it satanic energy. Blackpill is built on a painful toxic upbringing that creates seething anger and nihilistic apathy. Normal social guys cannot understand such things. It's like another world. A dark bleak world of trauma and misery with no hope, no redemption. A black hole of self-hatred. Your life has been too good, too loving to understand. No one hurt you enough, young enough. You had a decent family. You had good genetics. You had a social life.

Pussy has lots of survival needs. These are not merely physical but generate all the feminine emotions and psychological needs. Contemplate all the needs that pussy has to survive. Do not limit survival to the physical. Consider the issue holistically.

Pussy is much more than pure sexuality. Pussy is a big abstract notion that fuels the whole feminine.

Women need men as much as ever. The pussy still needs a man. Don't kid yourselves. The desires and needs of the pussy cannot be overturned by some post-modern shinanigans. To understand women you just ask: What does the pussy need?

@chisel That kind of passive consumption of political media creates brain-rot and ideological indoctrination. It doesn't create political wisdom.

Catching 100 fish or 1 fish takes the same bait. I've never had lots of women attracted to me. This is a fantasy for most men. This only works for exceptionally attractive men. You ladies assume that the average man is like the top 1% of men. That is a fantasy. That's not how dating is for average or below average men. You grossly overestimate how much attention the average man gets from women. It's 100x less than you think because you're looking at some hot player dating coach. That kind of guy is 1 in 100. I've never cared about having lots of women attracted to me. Just one. But getting that just one requires the same effort as getting 100.

Electrum is great. You can install it on a USB thumb drive. So it's portable and easy to move around and hide.
