SQAAD

I was watching this super biased documentary where they potray Gaddafi as the devil and America-EU as the angels. They didn't really explain why Gaddhafi was killed. Yes there was a rebel against him but why, and funded by whom. I had a friend years ago who was actually from Libya, Tripoli. He said to me that things were much better with Gaddhafi. If someone knows more about Gaddhafi let me know.

I'm pretty sure almost everyone has heard about avoiding blue light right before going to sleep but is it really a problem...? Because from direct experience i have observed that it's not. Many people can go to sleep fine without needing to filter out the blue light before they go to sleep. And this study seems to confirm this obversvation of mine. https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-night-light-unlikely-help-you-sleep-better

@aurum The broken food system deeply mirrors the quality of consciousness of the average man. It always amazes me how advanced we are technologically in comparison to our psychology. Basically the modern man is living and acting like an animal shitt*ng all over the place. Maybe if money wasn't the number one priority we would have a much better system but we are too underdeveloped and egotistical for that yet.

@impulse9 I love veganism as a philosophy even though i am not a vegan yet. I believe we should kill less animals for our survival. Yes we cannot avoid killing ants and etc as we live but still that's not an excuse to be mass murdering animals for our taste buds.

Leo's last video is super deep and talks about topics that noone has even touched. Maybe his best video. Just incredible. Wow!!! I am lucky. It's hard not to be biased against suffering and pain though. Because it inherently feels just terrible Science or God doesn't tell us that suffering and pain is bad but it feels bad and therefore it is bad. That's what bad means.

Basically they are discussing about sleep and then Lex Fridman goes on to say that his sleep scheldue is all over the place. Then the sleep expert states some worrying data about night shift workers who are more likely to get certain diseases. So far so good. But after a while, he kinda gives a free pass to Lex by saying something like ''if that works for you, then do that'' (i am paraphrasing). He takes the stance of someone who doesn't want to advise people and let them do what they want. At this point i'm like ''wtf''. This sounds to me like ''we have some data that smoking can cause cancer but if it works for you then do whatever you wanna do''. It's like he was trying to please/appeal to Lex and everybody else. I don't get it. I believe experts on some fields should give more advices and not let things remain so vague. Many people don't know how to interpret the data. Maybe you the expert, should kinda guide me and not leave things so willy-nilly.

@undeather It doesn't.

@Waken The best expert, the best doctor, is our own body. More intelligent that any guru or expert outhere.

@Blackhawk If you can do that, more power to you. I am all for it.

@Blackhawk Hey man, i can relate. I have been struggling with sleep scheldue and sleep in general for the past 8 months and it really really sucked. Pure torture it was for me. But now finally i resolved the issue. As for the health part you said, i guess you are in your 20s and saying this lol. (I'm in my late 20s btw). Because someone who has suffered from poor health , really but really appreciates health. You may not give a fk now. But you will give when something goes terribly wrong. Also i think working night shifts is not a death sentence. It can probably be done in healthier ways and you could still enjoy good health for as long as possible. Still this topic hasn't been researched enough.

@undeather Very nice explanation i have to admit. We will never have the perfect picture for sure. But our intuitions tell us that the best thing would be to work with how our body was designed to work and not go against it. Lex is going against his body to pursue his goals. That works well for him professionally but if he gets cancer 20 years from now then that will be a different story of how well it works for him.

@Michael569 Νight light works good. I don't know if it stops all the effects of blue light but i sleep fine.

@Michael569 I just didn't like the way he handled the conversation after a certain point. He gave the facts. Then he could stop there. But instead he even kinda encouraged Lex to do whatever he is doing... which i do not understand.

@Michael569 Nice data! Do you think that night light on pc is enough or would someone need to use blue light glasses also? I've never tried the glasses. But i use the night light on my pc.

Besides death being the great equalizer, look at this recent study https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jun/17/ageing-process-is-irreversible-finds-unprecedented-study Some people believe we will be able to live hundreds of years. Maybe that is a possibility with A.I. but i am not that optimistic to be honest.

@Danioover9000 I think now we know more some of Leo's biases

Why God is dreaming getting raped, being a succesful enterpreneur, getting shot, winning the lottery, having sex, getting obliterated in another crash accident,,feeling depressed, being awake and etc? What is the point of it all ? How does God think about all this stuff? Is it possible to stop the dream alltogether? Sometimes i can see through this illusion but it feels there is nothing you can do to end this dream lol. Not even God himself can stop the dream.

@Vibroverse Ahahahaha

At 1:40:00 of the video they start discussing about psychedelic treatment. The psychiatrist has a biased position against psychedelics. Basically she doesn't believe that taking a psychedelic 1-3 times can stop someone from being an addict.

@Blackhawk It's because Leo wants to encourage us to become more selfless and less biased which leads to more happiness and more accurate perception. I am all for it But there are certain biases which cannot be transcended. I can't drop my dislike for eating turds or my dislike for getting tortured. There are many other many biases that can be let go off though. A racist for example can stop being a racist.

@Leo Gura There are definitely some parts which i did not understand. I thought you said God is the absence of all biases also. So even God has biases. Okay then we could say that enjoying ice-cream more than brocolli (because God made it a lot more dopaminergic) is a bias of God. In that case i can learn to enjoy brocolli but it will never love it the same as ice-cream (because of inherently different neurochemical levels.)

@Vision To me, pain and pleasure are not merely relative terms and also they have a serious basis in reality.. It is an absolute since the relative is the absolute. 99.9%-100% of people won't enjoy getting tortured. That makes it pretty absolute also.

@Leo Gura I don't really know. I prefer truth from fantasies, that's my bias. But i can enjoy fantasies as well. Also i think we can only relate to things that exist. Even things that do not exist, exist in our heads, thats the paradox.

@Vision Maybe pain and pelasure is not inherent to reality but it is inherent to my every day experience of life. Some things feel good and some things feel bad, there is not changing that. It's hard to love eating a turd. There is no way i can start enjoying beheadings and tortures. Yes its a preference , a bias. But still the not enjoying of the experience is not a mere bias. I can start enjoying raw fish and other stuff but i'll never enjoy getting my finger cut by a knife slowly. Unless maybe i am Ramana Maharshi but even then i highly doubt it is possible.

@Leo Gura They exist though, so they are truthful.
