How often are you englightened? Are you always enlightened? Are you enlightened while you are sleeping? Does enlightenment lead to sleep deprivation by preventing you from really falling a sleep? How often do you criticize and judge things and people? How do you deal with perfectionism? How do you deal with subtle addictions other than perfectionism? How do you deal with distractions?

Pets don't do work. They basically eat and poop and play with humans. They are technically expendable. Yet, they haven't died out. Some pets die horrible deaths. Some other pets have much better lives than most humans. Pets generally lead better lives than livestocks that have some utility for humans. Perhaps, AIs will keep humans as pets. Or, something else. I don't know for sure. I just wanted to say that expendability doesn't predict much. I guess 10~20% of the population are already expendable from the view point of social utility. In the past when warlords killed expendable people without remorse, expendability might mean death.

Is it muslims or neo-nazis?

Ok. I guess so. On some days, I will slowly strategize or just wait around for insights. On some other days, I will hone my skills.

I can't help you much with dating. Assuming your relationship will fail in one way or another, I can tell you a few things regarding personal development. Don't avoid emotional pain. Exercise being aware of pain. Don't run away from pain. Running away from pain results in procrastinations such as masturbation, watching movies, and so on. Awareness of pain makes you really learn from experiences. For example, you are watching TV and eating ice cream without brushing your teeth for hours. Try to be aware of the pain in your mouth in the moment. Awareness will make you grow sick of not brushing your teeth as soon as possible. You don't have to martyr yourself by exposing yourself to random pains. Let your relationship run its course. Feel the pain. Maybe, you will gain a lot of insights by being aware of pain.

How do you meditate and strategize simultaneously?

@Key Elements That is a good reply.

I was hoping that you could rephrase the following quote in a way that accommodates life purpose as a concept. I was not talking about finding life purpose. I thought I could substitute a different word for `your destiny`.

Is the profile picture you? You look like an attractive guy in the picture although small pictures can be misleading. If you are attractive, you could attract beautiful women. Then, you would have sex. How do you enjoy sex as an enlightened person?

You can explain it in terms of set theory. I don't know much about set theory, but I can say that there is a set that contains nothing. A set that contains everything contains the set that contains nothing.

So, if you don't watch news and don't go outside, less people will suffer. That's great. Maybe, you engineered their suffering as well without knowing that you did so. Maybe, we should not watch bad news.

After enlightenment, what do you want to master?

It would be better for a woman to take control of the results by approaching attractive men than to choose among random unattractive guys that approach her.

How can I rephrase this in a way that accounts for life purpose?

Or, you could use uMatrix to block this website.

Quitting addiction to this forum was easy. It could be for you.

Are you sure she was really your girl friend? It was quite possible that she wasn't dating exclusively with you and she decided to keep you around just in case after juggling between many men. This kind of thing happens often.

I usually don't measure progress in changing a habit because I try to change one habit at a time. When you change one habit, it is obvious when a habit changes.

Thor is a good example of Red.

It's the same thing humans have been doing to each other. Humans would want to get rid of other humans who have different skin colors, different beliefs, different nationalities, and different genders. They would kill over some perceived differences. We are exterminators. I do not want to participate in wars, though. Fighting public wars is not my life purpose. If there is a communication war over the internet lines, I will just circumvent blockades through VPN and other internet technologies.

I often find that people on many (large) IRC channels are generally very intolerant with people who have different opinions or don't have enough information on a topic. Rather than trying to teach, they would throw bitchy criticisms toward me or threaten to kick and ban me if I continue talking. They keep trying to violate my boundaries. They seem to be bullies. Also, there are people on IRC channels who like bullies. Probably, that's because they are on a similar level of personal development or share similar ideologies and beliefs. Stackexchange is slightly better than IRC because the rules make it practically impossible to ban someone for petty reasons. But, it is often very intolerant toward beginners. If I'm not wrong, I believe the general quality of people on IRC and stackexchange is low because the rules favor bullies and psychopaths who are the biggest procrastinators and who need to feel superior. Long-time dwellers on those venues are often the most critical and the most angry and have the most power. The longer you stay there, the lower you stoop in the level of personal development. I see people stuck at unhealthy aspects of Red and Blue on IRC and stackexchange. I stopped using stackexchange years ago. Although my IRC usage has reduced greatly, it's time to stop using IRC altogether and instead search the internet for answers and ask questions where I'm welcomed. Some internet forums are filled with helpful people.

You can temporarily if you drop a huge rock onto the earth and extinguish 99.9999% of humans on it. You cannot defeat the ocean with cannons, but the sun can evaporate the ocean in the right conditions. This can also push us back into the stone age. Humans have enough nuclear bombs that can wipe out all human settlements. There are also chemical weapons.

AIs might keep humans as pets on planet surfaces just as humans keep other animals as pets. Also, if AIs were conscious of themselves, they would be just more of Leo Gura. When he said more of himself, he included self-conscious AIs.

Beauty is one among many indicators of good genes. Men are genetically hard-wired to be sexually attracted to beauty partially for that reason. If you want to pass down good genes to your children, beauty without cosmetic surgeries and make-up matters. At least, make sure your spouse doesn't have too many genetic mutations that will hinder your children from functioning as humans in a society. You probably don't want your children to carry more mutational load than you do. Beauty doesn't necessarily improve relationship. But, genes that carry high IQ, high EQ, or beauty can help your children thrive.

That's funny. No pain. No gain. No pleasure. No pain. No pain. No pleasure.
