Not everyone is here to confirm or disconfirm Leo’s teachings. You just projected that. Which makes me think you treat awakening like a competition. Congrats on beating out all the fools you left in the dust. If you take psychedelics enough and engage in a specific act of trying to see something, eventually, you will see it. No matter if it’s the most profound truth or biggest falsehood. You can ABSOLUTELY confirm either one on psychedelics if you try hard enough. Next time you trip, try really hard to see that beneath every human is a spirit animal. Once you find the spirit animal, then you will know truth. Until then, you don’t know shit. Imagine if psychonauts around the globe started trying to penetrate the spirit animal because they thought it was the ultimate truth. We’d soon have forums where people would write “ you guys are still talking about nonsense. I have seen the spirit animal and it’s beautiful. I can always tell when someone hasn’t seen the spirit animal”.

If a left-winger refuses to acknowledge porn is bad, that’s not comparable to the right-winger rejecting things like evolution and climate change. The comparison doesn’t make sense. Also, the right largely says porn is bad out of religious dogma or repressed sexuality, not from some intelligent systems thinking.

I always got that sense about Pakman too. In fact, I’ve always thought that if coordination was going on, Pakman and BTC were the main ones in on it. That’s not to say anything bad about them - I think it’s wise given the situation. I wouldn’t go so far as to say Pakman would intentionally spread information he doesn’t agree with, although I’m not sure. There isn’t anything unethical about coordinating talking points. It can be highly effective for spreading ideas when multiple influencers are using the same language and memes. I noticed Kyle K. and Pondering Politics using very similar language lately, and some of the words are too obscure to be coincidence. For all we know, this initiative by Chorus is our best bet at removing these lunatics from the heads of our government. In a war of ideas, what’s a better marketing channel than influencers? I can’t think of any.

They think it's awesome. Half of them think it's some 4D chess move that makes other nations fear us so they respect us and the other half think it's just Trump trolling the left, which they think is hilarious. You're not gonna convince them of anything. I can't believe they actually chose "war.gov". 😂You gotta be shittin' me.

You need coordination in information warfare. I hope they are coordinating.

You're trying to paste a file with the file protocol (file:///) but you should be pasting a URL like "http://" or "https://" Not super familiar with Mac, but I think FlameShot has the automatic upload to imgur, but I'm not sure if it can capture animated GIFs. Basically, you're looking for a way to host the image somewhere online so you can share its location. Maybe look into Raycast. ShareX is nice because I just hit a hotkey to capture the screen region I want, and I have it configured so that it automatically uploads to imgur and copies the URL to my clipboard so I can simply paste it in. The whole process takes me like like 5 seconds. Ideally, you'd look for something like that. Maybe use AI to research your options on Mac.

I think you’re right. Once the older generations die off, things are going to speed up quite a bit and new generations will be able to start off without all the falsehood holding them back. The number of open and wise people will skyrocket, or at least take a more dominant stance in society. This is already happening. It seems as if wise people are elbowing their way to the table in an attempt to usurp the fools. Intelligence is pressing for expression like never before. It's an error to think those raised in the Information Age will evolve at the same pace as the previous generations. Humans have only been on the internet with access to information for about 25 years. 200 years of the internet and AI is going to speed things up like never before.

@Natasha Tori Maru Yes. "Make them human".

Nice!

Calibrate implies assessment. The majority of the U.S is not thinking about politics - they are monkey-see monkey-do. And you know this, which is why you keep bouncing back and forth between sticking to your values or fighting fire with fire. If you're going to fight fire with fire, don't trick yourself that your fire is clean. Because in this case, the fire is memetic warfare. And you know that's not clean. It's getting a bit late in the game to be wishy washy about which strategy to choose. You can either hold to your values, try to sell them, and hope the other side self-destructs, or you join the manipulation game.

Yeah, if you want responses like you get in the browser, you'll have to either use the browser or API for that. But Gemini CLI might suffice.

Even if this particular instance was false, it will inevitably happen. Online talking heads with millions of viewers are of course getting paid to do and say shit, and if they aren't already, it's just a matter of time.

Is it live? What is it?

Yeah, it's insane. You could even write your own notes style or formatting guide and have AI format all your notes based on that. And then just say "format this file:" You can also do things like: "Turn this notes file into a beautifully formatted HTML page that I can share". I just tried that out and it produced this: It opens up a world of possibilities. Since these versions of AI are mostly for tool calls and coding, they don't respond exactly like the chatbots on their websites would, so just something to keep in mind.

Unfortunately, these tools can't access OneNote files natively because they're not raw text files. This is one of the drawbacks of using a proprietary system like OneNote. If you used Obsidian, you could have AI interact with your whole notes system. So you could use it for organization, retrieval, editing, or whatever you can think of. For example: Not only can it read the files, it can modify and move them. If you're on Mac or Linux, just go install Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT's Codex, or better yet, all 3, and they will work out of the box once you authenticate your account. If you're on Windows, you'll need to setup WSL to use Claude Code. On Windows, you just open a terminal window and type "wsl" and once that loads, you type "claude" and hit enter, and then you're presented with the chat window: From here, you just tell it to do whatever you want. You could say "programmatically switch to dark mode", and your entire system will switch. Or you could tell it "build me a custom chrome extension that renders the actualized.org forum as dark mode, based on Tailwind's Zinc theme", and it will build it. Fucking amazing!

I didn't see it playing out that way for me. Ofc I could be wrong.

That’s not what it’s like. There’s a sense of responsibility to fully integrate and master this domain before escaping into spirituality. There’s an intuition that it is a mistake to leave this world prematurely. Yet there’s a desire to, which creates tension.

It's more attachment than love. I remember when I was maybe 23, my sister and her friends came to visit me for a week or two in the florida keys where I was living, and her friends were hot af and one of them liked me. When they left, I teared up, not because I was in love, but because of how attached I was to the experience. The whole ambience and enchantment of the experience was disappearing and it was like parting ways with a powerful drug, except I knew I couldn't procure this drug again.

😂You seem like you have my kind of intuition, which is why I ask.

Biggest thing is to truly recognize that other people are actually human as well. Recognizing this takes serious contemplative work for many people, as it doesn't come natural to introverts. If you could imagine a 10 minute life summary video of every single person you've ever known, seeing them in all their human moments, sitting at a desk struggling in grade school, sitting on the toilet, struggling with self-doubt and feeling like a faker, crying over breakups and life challenges, this in itself is sufficient to obliterate the majority of social anxiety for most. Do this practice daily and social anxiety will disappear. Do it just like you'd do a loving-kindness practice, where you actually connect with it.

lol. True story. Curious, are you an INTJ?

If you're on Windows, download shareX and set it up to connect to an imgur account, and then simply take a screenshot and paste in the url, and the forum will automatically replace your url with an image, like this: No need to worry about uploading files to Leo's server.

Do you think that if Obama was just now coming up, he'd have an easy time wiping the floor with Rs? I'm not so sure. Bernie Sanders is the closest I've seen to a character that could meet our current situation with the message and energy it requires, but he's too old and sufficiently smeared. You need fresh blood, hard to smear, spine, and purpose or entertainment without cringe. That's the current demand. Obama himself would have a hard time meeting these requirements. The right doesn't have to meet them because they pander to the lower nature. The onus is on the one's pushing for forward momentum. If you want people to move forward, they need ample reason.

What about them? I'm not big into politics but those guys seem to have charisma that the majority of dems don't. Charisma overrides and creates its own frame.

Fore the same reason a nice guy can't get away with acting like a Billy-badass. You actually have to be bad to pull it off.
