  1. He won because he was against a woman and enough of America is sexist enough to never vote for a woman so he had probably a 15% advantage just because of this. Elon Musk bought Twitter unbanned Trump and then told 568 million people to vote for Trump.
  2. I'm trying to find spiritual science fiction content do you guys familiar with this niche? I know there's some interesting stories from Stephen King that sort of blend aspects of spirituality like The Horror of Eternal Consciousness | The Jaunt. I'm interesting in blending science fiction storytelling with all the branches of spirituality and philosophy.

  4. Hey, did you hear about the person with no pronouns? Who? No, not who. Just... the entity. Oh, the one we can't refer to? Exactly. How do we talk about... it? No, not it. Just... the being. This is confusing. Welcome to linguistic gymnastics. Is there a gold medal? Only if you can stick the landing without a pronoun. I'm already lost. Good, that's where we begin. Begin what? The quest for pronoun-less existence. Sounds exhausting. It is. I mean, the concept is. The concept of what? Of being unreferrable. Is that even a word? It is now. We're making progress. Towards what? Towards the unmentionable. The unspeakable? No, we can speak it, just not... about it. About what? Exactly. I'm getting a headache. Here, take this. What is it? It's a pronoun-free aspirin. How does it work? It doesn't. It just sits there, undefined. Like our friend? We don't have friends. We have entities we acknowledge without referring to. That's a mouthful. Better than a pronounful. Is that even possible? Anything's possible in the land of the unaddressed. Sounds like a strange place. It's not a place. It's a state of being. Or not being? Both. Neither. Something else entirely. Now my brain hurts. Don't worry, it'll pass. What will? The pain? No, the brain. Wait, what? Exactly. You're catching on. To what? To the art of not catching. Is that like fishing without a hook? More like existing without a label. Sounds lonely. Only if you're someone. But we're not. We're not? I mean, you're not. I'm not what? Precisely. This conversation is going in circles. Bold of you to assume it's going anywhere. Or that it's a conversation. Or that we exist. Do we? That's a pronoun-loaded question. How do we answer it? We don't. We just... are. Or aren't. Both? Neither? Yes. No. Maybe. All of the above? None of the above? Above what? Exactly. I think I need to lie down. On what? Existence itself. Careful, it's pronoun-shaped. Everything is. That's why we're here. Where? Nowhere. Everywhere. Somewhere in between. In between what? Don't ask. Why not? Because I might answer. And then what? Then we'd be right back where we started. Where's that? Exactly. --- Absurdist education by claude AI. 😭 how to awaken
  5. That's a good point I think I noticed a similar pattern and by coincidence I just watched this video A surprising discovery is that the total number of calories burned daily doesn't significantly differ between those who are highly active, like hunter-gatherers, and those who lead a more sedentary lifestyle. For instance, the Hadza people, a hunter-gatherer community in Tanzania, walk an average of 9 kilometers daily. Despite this high level of activity, they burn roughly the same number of calories as people in industrialized societies. This phenomenon is not due to genetic differences but to how the body allocates energy. The body seems to have a relatively fixed daily calorie budget that it adheres to, regardless of activity levels. The body has evolved to maintain a consistent energy expenditure. When you exercise more, the body compensates by reducing energy spent on other activities or processes, a concept known as the "activity budget." --- The way I see it is when you overdo high intensity exercise you're pulling from all the energy of all the cells in your body and if that isn't replenished or the recovery can't keep up you're going to suffer. Pretty obvious but it's interesting that you are still use up a fixed amount of energy throughout the day regardless of your activity level.
  6. ### The Rise of Fake People: Entering the Era of Chaos Imagine waking up in a world where you can’t tell what’s real from what’s fake. Picture this: you get a call from your mother. Her voice is warm and familiar as she asks about your day. But what if, in this world, you could never be sure if it was really her? Maybe it’s just a super-smart AI, perfectly imitating her voice, her laugh, even the way she talks about the weather. You’d never know, and that’s the scary part. This is a future where fake people outnumber real ones ten to one. You could be talking to someone online who seems just like any other person, but in reality, they’re a sophisticated program designed to blend in. In this era of chaos, every interaction becomes a guessing game. The chaos doesn't stop with people. Think about the news. Today, we scroll through headlines and stories, trusting what we see. But in this future, fake news would be everywhere, looking just as real as the truth. Imagine reading about a major event—a new discovery, a political scandal, or a celebrity's dramatic incident. It’s all over the internet, on every site, shared by everyone. But what if it’s completely fabricated, created by AI to look and feel like real news? For every true story you find, there are ten fake ones. Sorting out what’s real from what’s not would be almost impossible. Imagine logging into your favorite social media site. You see a post from a friend, talking about an amazing vacation they’re on, complete with photos. The comments are full of friends asking questions, giving likes. But what if that friend doesn’t exist? The vacation, the photos, the entire profile could be generated by AI. In a world full of fake people, you’d never be sure who’s real. Even video calls, once a way to feel connected, could be faked with AI-generated faces that look exactly like your loved ones. Now, think about how this affects trust. Trust is what holds relationships together. If you couldn’t trust that the person you’re talking to is real, how would that change things? You’d be on edge, doubting every interaction. Relationships would become shallow because the deep trust needed for real connection would be gone. Every call, every message, every face you see could be fake. But it gets even more personal. Imagine AI learning everything about you from your digital footprint—every post, message, photo, and like. Now picture thousands of versions of you existing online. Each one knows your habits, your style, your interests. They talk like you, act like you, even think like you. People interact with these digital clones, believing they’re talking to the real you, but you have no control over what these versions say or do. You’re one voice among a thousand echoes, lost in the digital noise. In this world, no one, not even you, can tell which is the real you and which are the copies. Your identity is no longer yours alone; it's a shared, distorted echo that exists everywhere and nowhere. This idea of digital clones can go even further. What if these versions of you, created by AI, start applying for jobs, using your name, your credentials, even your face? Employers might think they’re hiring the real you, but it’s just a digital replica. What happens when these clones start interacting with your friends and family, making plans, sending messages, living a life parallel to yours but completely out of your control? The clones could make decisions, form opinions, and take actions that affect the real world, all while you remain unaware. Your reputation, your relationships, your entire life could be influenced by these rogue versions of you. And what about the future of AI-enhanced reality? Imagine putting on augmented reality glasses and seeing a world that’s not quite real. You walk down a street, and every advertisement, every storefront, every face you see could be altered by AI. It could tailor what you see based on your preferences, showing you a version of reality that’s uniquely yours but completely fabricated. The world outside your window could become a personalized illusion, tailored to your likes, dislikes, and biases, creating a bubble that distorts your perception of reality. This extends beyond personal life into society as a whole. Imagine the chaos in politics. Election campaigns could be flooded with fake endorsements, fake scandals, fake rallies. Videos of politicians saying things they never said, or doing things they never did, could sway public opinion. People wouldn’t know what to believe. How could you make a good decision about who to vote for if you couldn’t tell which news was real? Democracy depends on informed citizens, but in a world overrun with fakes, manipulation would become easy, and chaos would reign. To survive in this chaotic future, we need to be more vigilant than ever. We’d need new tools and skills to detect what’s real and what’s not, to hold onto the truth even when it’s hidden. If we don’t, we risk living in a world where everything is uncertain, where reality slips away, and we’re left in a sea of confusion, never sure of who or what to trust. --- ### Bullet Point Summary - **Fake Interactions**: In a future full of AI, you could get a call from your mother, hear her voice, and have no idea it’s not actually her, but an AI perfectly imitating her. - **Fake News Overload**: The news could be filled with fake stories that look just as real as true ones, making it nearly impossible to know what’s actually happening in the world. - **Social Media Deception**: You might see posts from friends that aren’t real—profiles, pictures, and stories all generated by AI, making you question if anyone online is genuine. - **Breakdown of Trust**: Trusting others would become difficult, as you’d always wonder if you’re talking to a real person or a fake. This would lead to shallow relationships built on doubt. - **Digital Clones of You**: AI could use your online behavior to create thousands of versions of you, making it impossible for others—and even yourself—to tell the real you from the copies. - **AI Living Your Life**: Digital clones could apply for jobs, interact with your friends, and make decisions, influencing your real-world life without your knowledge or control. - **AI-Enhanced Reality**: Augmented reality could create a world tailored to your preferences, making everyday experiences a personalized illusion, further blurring the line between real and fake. - **Political Manipulation**: Fake videos and news could easily sway public opinion, making it hard for voters to know what’s true, undermining democracy and leading to manipulation and chaos. - **Need for Vigilance**: To navigate this chaotic world, we need new ways to tell the real from the fake, ensuring that truth can still be found in a sea of deception. —- GPT 4 assisted
  7. @Carl-Richard lmaoo hopefully my incessant nudges we’re in the right direction. 😅 but from the moment I laid eyes on that mountainous back years ago I knew it was witnessing potential like I’ve never seen. 🥺 but in all honesty you’re A strong writer and YouTube is basically dominated by great writers.
  8. This is especially important for people who in their twenties did not pursue science.
  9. How. Do. You. Know.
  10. Im informing everyone so that there’s no surprises like last time. He’s just too good at marketing it’s unstoppable. And Biden has some of the worst senile public image I’ve ever seen.
  11. I was watching an anime and realize something very simple: that everything I was watching actually happened. 😅 in a sea of infinite consciousness every anime, TV show and movie literally happened and you’re just watching it on screen. https://youtu.be/_qNmE0xQgfI?si=f2IXJfcpgQVZAma8 There is a universe that is all hand drawn and somehow for all of these characters it makes perfect sense that their world is “drawn”.
  12. Start a YouTube channel this is gold. I broke my finger trying to hit the like button That didn’t exist.
  13. Because most of the population is not at Green, Green is super high.
  14. AI has major limitations and biases, it's regurgitating often the status quo which is based on flawed epistemological work and unawareness. You cannot trust the things in books because its all built on a weak epistemological Foundation. But the AI doesn't understand any of this and cant experiment or think for itself about any topic, so it just provides you information from authority figure it believes are facts.
  15. People overall will improve, get smarter. This is why I think that is the case. The type of person who will blindly memorize things will use AI in a lazy way and regurgitate it, those people will not change. The people who have an interest in critical thinking and creative thinking will use Ai in more sophisticated ways to enhance their thinking process. So whichever Camp you're in AI will just help you, and the tool can be used in a conscious or unconscious way, and it will only benefit unconscious thinkers, and I view that as a huge Plus, because I want to give the average person a tool to improve their output because they're completely hopeless regardless of whatever technology they have. The sheer accessibility of diverse perspectives and deeper layers of information through AI might provide even traditionally passive thinkers an opportunity to evolve. These individuals, when prompted by well-designed AI systems that encourage questioning, could shift their thinking from passive memorization to more engaged inquiry. People have been memorizing books without any comprehension or deep thinking from beginning of time, Ai will not change that. The boomer brain is good example of inflexibility caused by lack of exposure to the internet(knowledge at our fingertips). Those that were exposed to the internet have naturally far more flexible brains and this trend will continue as people who are exposed to AI Young will have even more flexible and wider scope to there thinking process. The introduction of the internet widen our thinking scope and AI will widen it even more. --- AI is all built by high orange/Green Silicon Valley engineers, so they're built to be biased. This means the entire population is now exposed to a biased green AI. That will only further evolve the whole population up the Spiral. Close-minded countries that are still suppressing women for example all of the men are going to be using AI that is biased towards feminism and equality. But if they manage to create their own AI that is biased towards their agenda then we are in trouble...
  16. How do people not know the epistemology of doctors, it’s always so painful to hear naivety 🤦‍♀️ Leo is sharing hard to find gems that require effort and experimentation to verify.
  17. That’s true I mean specifically for her to get a self-esteem boost she needs to believe what she’s saying and doing. personally if I were to do that job it would be entirely business and I would have no feeling towards it at all. I might feel good that I did a good job and that I made someone happy, maybe it can give me a self-esteem boost something like that but worshipping me would give me absolutely nothing. I would respectfully tell them to go worship Leo.
  18. Can you step on a man's nuts and tell him he's worthless and believe every word of it? This is what it takes for you to get a self-esteem boost. If you don't believe what you're saying then it won't give you anything. A female dominatrix believes every word that she is saying. They are salivating at the mount with just the thought of telling people how worthless they are. Can you do that? But There's probably a middle ground somewhere lol
  19. The title would go viral as a YouTube video
  20. As a Canadian I've experienced this first hand in the past 10 years housing costs have skyrocketed while the living wage has stayed pretty much the same due to massive levels of immigration. Canada's population is growing by over a million people a year through mostly immigration thanks to Justin Trudeau 9-year liberal rule. This is a classic example of liberal idealism, the issue is because the population doubled in 10 years the number of houses stayed the same and so the cost of housing has become completely unaffordable. I was completely naïve and unaware of how immigration could affect the economy until I lived it first hand. You should fear massive levels of immigration if it's not handled properly by the government. Justin Trudeau failed to build housing to support the population explosion and so the cost of living has gone up to a ridiculous level. There's likely additional dangers to immigration that are not obvious, in my local park it is filled with Stage blue Muslims all newly immigrated within the past 10 years, and all of them have children of course because their stage blue! I have nothing against Muslims but you're introducing less conscious people into the population in Mass and I have no idea how that affects the country. Justin Trudeau is very likely going to lose the next election and a conservative will take power. The conservatives in Canada have had a very strong social media presence built on mostly attacking Justin Trudeau like little children. This is a clip of Pierre Poilievre Who is going to replace Justin Trudeau in the next election. He's a classic pretending to be family values pretending to be Christian running against the liberal party who of course is not going to bring any good to the economy, and people voting from our just naive because they want to change. -- Edit: Probably not related to immigration see comment bellow.
  21. @Spiritual Warrior she doesn’t care about your finances or anything like that, she young that means she just wants to have fun, feel good talking to people and probably very busy with her own insecurities and life.
  22. I think I should stop giving my opinion. I don’t know how to think deeper about the subject to have a more refined opinion and am relying on feedback to improve.
  23. Ohhhhh That’s a good one, I couldn’t figure out how to use his @Keryo Koffa. 😂 Now that I know how to use his @Keryo Koffa i’ve noticed great improvements in my quality of life. @Keryo Koffa, the last vocabulary you’ll ever need.
