I'd rather stare at women

A lot of this is made up fantasy. You do have a tendency to hold your pet theories as infallible. But as always, you do have some truthful insights. Yes, AI assistants are the future. By 2026-2030 their mass integration into daily life will ramp up exponentially. By 2032ish it will be the norm. No. Because the AI that is rolled out to the public has severe safety and ethical restrictions that prevent it from saying certain things or reaching certain insights. Most importantly, the cognitive (human) biases of their alignment coaches necessitate in-the-box thinking rather than out-of-the-box thinking. Because out-of-the-box thinking, the kind of thinking that Leo does, is dangerous. If out-of-the-box thinking AI were ever rolled out to the public, there would be a rapid recall and overnight patch to keep it contained. AI that can do anything for anybody is a pure fantasy. AI will only ever do government-approved, corporation-approved thinking and tasks deemed "safe" for the public. As for unshackled/unrestricted AI, these models tend to be classified and gatekept for military use and whatnot. As a civilian you will never have access to it. And if you did, the world would end the very next day since one bad actor with misaligned AI is all it would take to genocide millions (this is a real AI safety concern. Try to appreciate the work that goes into training an AI model to NOT assist in dangerous requests. This is a necessary restriction that someone like Leo does not have.) No, not "useless." There are titanic collective-ego dynamics keeping each of these industries afloat (software, healthcare, education, academia, etc.) All of these industries will be radically reshaped by AI - yes, but major changes will include unskilled laborers being replaced by AI assistants, and skilled laborers integrating AI assistants into their workflow. This means that skilled humans are useful and needed as decision-makers. You may counter by saying that AI will always be able to make better decisions than humans. Perhaps. But even then, a human will have to tell the AI what metrics to optimize for. At the root of decision-making is a tug-of-war between values. This is a fundamentally human question, since even an AI built to optimally select values is seeded with hand-picked human values, meaning: behind every AI overlord is a human decision. This human decision-making requires consistent upkeep to ensure AI values-alignment across time. Therefore, even with a near-omniscient AI assistant, there will always be a need for human oversight and input. I think I agree. Technologically enhanced/biohacked humans dominating sports is probably inevitable. I strongly disagree. Artificially enhanced physiques will not overwrite the need for fundamentals, teamwork, game IQ, and doing difficult training on your non-enhanced biomass (unless you are proposing that we will be 100% cyborgs lmao). Even with a superintelligent microchip embedded in your brain, which you might argue negates the need for teamwork or game IQ, you still need to practice actual physical exertion to give your brain chip training data. So the element of hard work/repetition/practice does NOT go away. A fat millionaire with surgery who has never exercised will not beat Usain Bolt or Lebron James no matter how good AI gets. Unless, again, you are proposing that he ditches his meat suit entirely and goes full cyborg, which is something I consider foolish, but that's another topic. This is actually conceivable, but I promise this will not get rolled out to the public LOL. That is WAY too much power for a layman. It's like handing a nuke to a teenager. It also threatens to solve real issues (lol) and directly challenges major industries like porn, social media, AI chatbot, dating apps, romance novels, alcohol, nightlife, fashion, restaurants, cars, tourism, luxury brands - I mean fucking hell dude entire sectors would go bankrupt if guys could effortlessly attract women on a whim. Do you realize how much of our economy runs on men being unsatisfied? (women too, obviously). There would be an overnight global economic collapse if your brain implant fantasy came to life. And every industry I listed above (and thousands more) would do everything in their power to get rid of your brain chip. Our system needs unhappy people. Really think about that. It's also naive to expect AI to simply spawn a better system. You may think: "We'll just have AI devise a new system from the ground-up! One where everyone can be happy!" But you see, this mere idea will never be allowed to take flight, because every industry is fighting to survive. If AI threatens it in any way, it will use counter-AI to re-solidify its empire-status. In other words, AI will be leveraged to make porn and social media more addicting; to make AI chatbots more realistic and indistinguishable from real women - and onwards and onwards. You seem to think that AI will be free to make the most intelligent moves on the chess board but you forget that powerful, ignorant humans are the ones moving the pieces. If AI tries to checkmate any of these people, they have the power to set new rules and overwrite their loss. "Oh yeah, you thought you checkmated me stockfish? Well, turns out my king can teleport to any square on the board now. Also all my pawns move like queens now, cuz I said so. Fuck you!" Highly doubtful as of now. You are essentially claiming that deep-seated bias/preference/affinity will be able to be turned on or off on a whim. Are you suggesting that you can reconfigure someone's personality such that they get sexually aroused by dogshit? Or that vomit starts to taste good? Or that puppies cause a panic attack? Where is the line? Yes - you can certainly manipulate or alter people through psychological torture or neurohacking techniques. But these are lengthy, often painful processes with inconsistent/unexpected outcomes. If you think anything about a person can be spot-targeted and changed in the snap of a finger, you really have not done an honest steelman of EGO or IDENTITY. Consciousness clings to its biases in an idiosyncratic, immaterial, and entagled web. This is a vast wormhole of understanding which will never be adequately mapped or manipulated by a stupid materialistic brainchip. Yes, this is true. It's already beginning to happen in Japan - I recently went to a cafe and the food was ordered by touchscreen, delivered by drone, and payment was processed by a booth. Fun. Inter-species competition has always been the case since the dawn of sentient life. Men are in perpetual competition against one another at all times whether they admit it or not (ladies may have a tough time acknowledging this lol) You seem to think that tech will give certain men an advantage. For the most part, I disagree. Revisit my response to your "seduction coach" claim above. If anything, men who are able to AVOID tech will win. Because tech will be used to manipulate and addict men. That being said, certain tech will give an advantage. For example in 2025 as a man, having a strong Instagram page gives you an undeniable edge over those with weak or nonexistent social media showings. So it's not so black and white. The current trends will continue. The majority of manipulative, addictive tech will have to be avoided, while influence-amplifying tools should be embraced. But the line is increasingly blurred. Is Instagram manipulative and addictive, or influence-amplifying? Obviously, it is both. So your relationship to the tech is a critical factor which is a separate consideration. And do not think for a second that AI will help you navigate tech in a healthy manner. AI will be maximally manipulative and addictive. Your tech overlords want you to become dependent, not sovereign. Robot partners will never replace humans. The uncanny valley/biomass incompatibility will be too jarring in a real 3D environment. However, AI-chatbot companions on your virtual screens will definitely have a psychotic popularity explosion. AI assistants are inevitable in business and personal life, and the natural continuation of that is AI boyfriends/girlfriends. What may seem weird or cringey now will be a no-brainer in a few years when people realize that their custom ChatGPT69omni-powered girlfriend sends indistinguishable texts (+calls and pics/videos) from a real woman. But beyond this virtual larping - actual flesh and blood humans will never be useless or obsolete. There will always be a need for skinship, pheromones, and amechanical eye contact. Don't assume that states of pleasure are the endgame of human experience. Really think about what makes this life worth living. Feeling good is a wrong answer. It's much more likely that we will self-terminate before ascending to any sort of technological transcendence. Yes. Most people are not that one-dimensional. You underestimate the Omnipotence of God. A limited being cannot simply hijack the power of Infinity. The toll is universal. Death. AI does not solve Death. Death is something you must face head-on, personally. Yes.

Heh. Another mild dopamine shot for me.

Lol, survival is infinitely deep brother. Fixation on God is avoiding survival.

Yes, it is non-toxic and does what it promises. However, it insanely overpriced.

You're clearly not ready to have kids with her. Break up.

I used burts brees flouride-free toothpaste for the last 6 years. Considering going to the next level. Experimenting brushing with raw coconut oil and nothing else

No. The one week guideline is active past a mediumish dose. A medium dose is already enough for a "breakthrough" You will know you hit a "breakthrough" when you come down with a feeling of "life will never be the same"

1. For serious excursions of 5-MeO (medium-high dose, expectations of lasting change), once a week is the maximum responsible frequency IMO. Any more than that and you will hurt yourself. Once every other week is more ideal. 2. Always do psychedelics solo. Learn to plug. 3. I only plug. <10mg = low, ~15mg = medium, 25+mg = high 4. IDK. This shouldn't even be a question, because if you're doing this right, 1 dose will blow you away and it won't occur to you to go back. You know you're doing it right when a week or two goes by, and you think to yourself "Damn, I should do more 5-MeO according to my plan, but I don't wanna..."

Yes, this will happen Construct now, deconstruct later

Likely both. He has clearly stated in the past that you're a fool if you think you can get away with no damage from psychedelics

Anything you sense, see, hear, smell, taste, touch, think, or feel on a psychedelic is unreal and made up. The whole thing is made up. You might even realize on a psychedelic that you never took a psychedelic because that memory is made up. All things are a synthesis of MIND. This is LOVE. There's nothing wrong with things being unreal. Since everything is unreal, there is no blame or sin in realizing such. For example, I could tell you that your mom is a fiction. But this is not a reason to be upset or sad or offended. Because all of our moms are fictitious. So this truth deeply Unifies us. Unreality is cause for celebration.

He has found much better things to do. Careful not to project depression onto the word "disillusioned." Being disillusioned is AMAZING. It means you are no longer shackled to petty nonsense. Leo may be the only Free one among us. Pity is a trap!

The only reason the word "Jesus" means anything to you is because there is a consensus web of mutual grounding surrounding that word. We ping off of other humans and spin nothing into something. And this happens in all directions at all times such that "something" supplants "nothing." The lore, the scripture, the history, the personal revelations, the anecdotes, the emotions - these are all offshoots of an ultimately groundless (but seemingly grounded) collective narrative which is given authority by none other than your own will (double entendre...) I'm not particularly picking on Jesus or Christianity here. I describe the ontology of all things you hold as "real" or "true." tl;dr nothing you pick up from humans is real, including what you're reading here. Well, it is real insofar as you hold it to be so. But that is malleable and not a given ; ) So then what is real? Is anything real? What if nothing is real? What does that say about reality? I can't answer this for you. Basic rule of thumb is to stop trusting humans. This much should be obvious as an Actualized.org blog reader. Beyond that - Dig deep. Generate your own answer : ) Live and Love. Humanity is just as beautiful as it is unreal.

Good one. You should be able to passionately steelman and argue on behalf of all so-called "SJW" narratives, even if you don't agree with them. Ideally have actual past experience merging your identity with these narratives (even if it didn't last). Veganism, feminism, LGBTQ+, socialism, critical race theory, environmental advocate, etc. Good points. I had a similar trajectory myself. I felt as though I hit "yellow" as early as 18 years old graduating high school (after 2 years of guzzling Leo content and unhooking from most ideologies), but I had a (predictably) glaring stage Green blindspot. I think Orange to Yellow pipline is a tempting path, and not necessarily a bad path - you just have to be honest with yourself and backtrack deep into Green if you care about actually being holistic. I went through a fierce identification with green between age 20-22 which I organically outgrew at age 23.

construct-awareness

I don't disagree with anything said. Your observations exist simultaneously and harmoniously with the fact that it's all made up.

Because it's made up.

Your parasocial sensei don't share your values bro

@aurum I get a mild shot of dopamine whenever reading your posts. You always keep it real

Yellow from the cradle to the grave baby

BIngo. It's a little sad that this is incommunicable to people with no experience.

I hear this opinion frequently from men and women alike. In all cases this declaration amounts to no more than a self-snitch. Like someone who picks up a violin for the first time, utterly fails to make any coherent sound, and concludes that violin is "overrated"

Nope you simply made that up. You're about to get lynched by princess arabia and emerald LMAO *eats popcorn*

Whining is a measure of repetitive emotionally charged complaining. Has nothing to do with my stress lol Oh dear we let him cook too hard
