So, the real main issue is this: How can America deal with Tik Tok, especially given that ByteDance is now slowly buying up the music markets and gaming markets for Tik Tok, slowly stealing talent away from other fields and funneling them into Tik Tok? What can the government do to make sure the next few generations aren't epistemically screwed by this Tik Tok?

@Emerald However, the greater factor here is the design of Tik Tok being the maximum attention holding app in existence, designed to hijack one's reptilian brain, making them spend more time in Tik Tok, without in app time clock to keep track of time, full screen shorts very easy scroll ups, and an algorithm that hyper tailors content watched based on time spent watching and clicking, auto correcting image profile A.I that increases self consciousness and Narcissism, and the ADD/ADHD negative effects of prolonged watching, are dangerous. Preexisting factors of a person like their value systems, cognitive and moral development, personality type and traits and personality traits developed with internet use, states of being, life experiences and other lines of development, and ideology indoctrinated into your mind, all these factors get amplified by Tik Tok especially, never mind other social media sites out there. Regardless of your political views, you could be a white supremist/Nazi girl/guy, or a Marxist, or socialist, or progressive, or conservative, or liberal, or libertarian, no matter, Tik Tok will serve more content that matches your biases and preferences so well that it knows more about you, than what you know about yourself. Tik and overuse of social media are factors that multiply any hidden preexisting factors.

@Hardkill Definitely agree, would have won if she's more ruthless like the cartel, but she didn't play her cards right from the start. Politics are for the sociopaths, and even psychopaths, not for normies.

@aurum Yes, that OSHO, who had 99 Rolls Royce, and didn't pay tax(technically it's a commune and I don't know tax laws in Oregon county, so I don't know if it's taxed or there's zero tax). The whole thing about any terrorist plot, and poisoning the water supply was from his lieutenant Sheela, and OSHO was just focused on his spiritual practices. Still, reported had 150,000 books before his death, so a pretty knowledgeable leader for president. Trump had charisma and persuasion, which I can't say for any of the Democrats as they're boring, at least Donald Trump appeared authentic than them at the time. What happened to your profile pic???

@Emerald Not sure about those, but I am pretty sure social media and Tik Tok mind raping the younger generation is more of a contributing factor to the overall decrease in IQ, attention span, ADD/ADHD and even depression, as well as social anxiety and internet inducing mental health issues. Tik Tok, for example, had some users with Tourette's syndrome, and guess what? the viewers self reported that they ended up developing Tourette's syndrome...for fucks sake! Not to mention increases in creepy and perv behaviors, critics, edge lords, Main Character syndrome, trolls, haters...list goes on. A whole generation of young, Millenials and Zoomers, getting mind raped by social media, not a promising future.

@Raze It's the usual suspects: too much social media consumption, and Tik Tok's corruption and corrosive nature to a mind's focus,whilst hijacking it's lymbic system via fine tuned algorithm that curates content based on length of tjme watched amd other factors. That's why.

@Tanz Slim chance she'll win, but that's all it takes,a slim chance. Just look a Slim Shady.

@aurum If Donald Trump became president, anything can happen. In an ideal world, it'd be nice if an OSHO like guy became president.

@DocWatts I also mostly agree here. The issue also is epistemology as well, I don't know the official term for it, but basically the epistemic issue is one of first impressions. For example, heard of Korean BBQs? There's a restaurant I've been to several times with some of my family, and the BBQ side was great, but each time we never tried their hot pot menu. So, we decided to invite a friend, who never heard of and also like us hadn't tried hot pots. I don't know if it's just bad luck and bad timing, or bad waiter or bad equipment(This restaurant you get to cook the main ingredients yourself), but our hot pot experience was negative, food was taking too long to cook, noodles were half cooked, a too friendly/energetic waiter which bugged my friend a bit. Afterwards, my friend never joined us for future visits of this restaurant. Next future visits, despite the bad experience I decided to give a few more tries with hot pot, and actually it was pretty good, just had to git gud at cooking the pot, BBG still the better option though, and unfortunately I may never get to convince my friend to try out the BBQ as that hot pot catastrophe is still there in his mind, somewhere. So here, how it relates back, is when the person in question has little to no knowledge of self help, and is first exposure was through Jordan Peterson's body of work, I can see how that can be an issue, especially if some can't make that distinction between psychology and politics, and just blindly copy and follow Jordan Peterson's worldview. I'm also just a bit sympathetic to his plight, as I've suffered similarly to him and can somewhat relate to being in suffering which can cloud one's perception of the world and others with this tinge of misanthropy and Nihilism. Not a good place to be in.

@DocWatts That issue will have to let itself sort itself out, eventually the political ideologies of the right will have to develop over time to weed out. After all, how does a person or state craft, intervene with solutions to problems, in such a way that won't trigger a backlash, or further creating problems within and outside this context? The answer isn't that simple, as almost every solution only half solves a problem but then creates other problems, meanwhile trying to deprogram certain right wing ideologies from a person is challenging to do, so light intervention is necessary. Jordan Peterson has solid psychological takes, due to his background and specialty in acidemia based psychology. He's definitely well versed in specific types of psychology. The only issue and challenge, is if the general population can make distinctions when he's talking about some of his psychological takes, to when he starts talking about his political takes? Because that's mostly the issue, is making that distinction. At least Jordan's book is a start and introduction to the concept of self responsibility, and even leads others to exploring the self help field. No disagreement with his low quality political takes here. Like Bruce Lee says, take what's useful, discard the rest. Do that with Jordan Peterson first in good faith, not in bad faith after listening to some SJW's complaining way too much and misrepresenting who he is.

@mr_engineer I think you can, just write beforehand what the link leads to. A moderator also has posted his link to his website in the bookmark area, so it should be okay.

@hyruga Dungeons and Dragons. It's a great game that involves roleplay, exploration and combat.

@How to be wise I see, interviewer was suspect. I got it. But you didn't have to bring and attack my country, UK, and Germany and making both equally Racist and Xenophobic. Then, Germany was in an economic nightmare after WW1, which allowed someone like Adolf Hitler and Nazism to take hold. Britain wasn't as bad as Germany, and the whole previous world situation wasn't Germany's fault, as the western alliance had us believe, because WW1 was issues with other European alliances and the western axis powers, just that Germany lost and bore the brunt of the negative consequences.

@Ulax A few points: 1. Ownership of property must be respected amongst neighbors, until a national crisis and state intervention must take place. Until then, property rights are a thing. 2. Honor your own home country. 3. Respect the moral standards you grew up on, and be of good character. 4.Careful what you spend money on, generally. If these points are not enough, please list more specific questions about my political view.

@Osaid Knowing and logic is one thing, but this begs the question: Are you aware of what you're risking and doing?

Tangent aside, I do belief that it's possible people hold contradictory beliefs and views, but despite the hypocrisy and paradox, right action can still take place. I'm a systemic thinker and strongly stage blue/orange with some yellow values, but my political biases are middle to right, and I do hold some conservative positions, as well as a few liberal ones. I don't end up voting for UKIP or some Alt Right party though. Also, Don beck and the other coauthor were in the boomer generation, so the epistemic generation indoctrinated him and his generation such. Can't be helped, but epistemology and metaphysics still can be more powerful than other modals of psychology.

@How to be wise Okay, that's some really subtle offensive racist and ethnocentric shit you wrote, but I'll let it slip. I agree and condone the second part of the using and weaponizing of genetics to justify white supremacy and overt Racism, but I won't condemn the existence of genetics by themselves. GENETICS IS GENETICS! Each human body is a unique snow flake of interconnect genes doing stuff, and extremely difficult to change on that level directly.

@hoodrow trillson Yeah, I'm just disappointed when people kick a downed person. It really restores my faith in humanity.

@supremeyingyang It could have been as early as childhood issues, dysfunctional family, overbearing father, which they both ended up separating, making him live in a single parent household. Deep egoic shadow of the father, and some degree of obfuscating the fault to his mother. Plus his low income environment, and that one moment when he was coldly rejected by a female, made him over compensate by trying to be too alpha, ambitious and driven by money. Of course, this is intuitive speculation. There's also such a thing as not having gained the right information, and enough love by parents or family or friends.

@Chives99 I speak for myself mostly, and I may overestimate the dangers of social isolation here, but it never really bothered me that much, especially because I have higher value systems, I think differently and make sense of reality in different ways, am morally developed enough but my circle of concern not that big enough that I'm concerned with other communities, or parts of my own community, am introverted in personality trait among other types and traits, have different states of consciousness and have paranormal and supernatural experiences, well lived life experiences around the world, and other lines of development in areas of my life that makes me more unique and resilient to loneliness. In fact my mind LOVES LONELINESS, it feeds off of the isolation, and I enter into states of creativity and higher consciousness that most people can't relate to or access soberly. I don't even care for dating, short term or long term relationships. It doesn't matter to me if I fail to get a one night stand, or dancing body to body with a potential GF in a nightclub, not getting a number. The loneliness actually helps me reset. In fact, I am the happiest Incel of them all. I just, like I can understand their loneliness problems to a degree, but I can't empathize with them struggling with being alone. It just invigorates my soul. And, of course, a healthy porn and fapping habit helps, and a high quality pillow to boot, can help too.

@How to be wise To be fair, genetics is a factor among many other factors that can contribute into if a country is more successful, overall, than another country. It's when a person makes the few additional leaps from using the genetics factor, and weaponize a fact against some out groups. that point is the main problem, not the fundamental factor of genes because it is the case that some people are radically different, different body composition, different brain shapes, different sense making. There's genes for happiness, or genes that make a person blind from birth, or give them extra sensory input into their vision, causing them to 'see' colours not normally there, and other freaky things that most people just take for granted. Geography is also the 'genetics' of a country too, yet we don't see how people argue heatedly that it's 'eugenics' or 'racist' or 'ethnocentric' to point out a country's limitations of geography.

@supremeyingyang The conclusion was in reference to the cardinal, staying power, and mutable traits of the zodiac symbols. A cardinal just means a person who's likely to be a strong starter, a charger early on, like a sprinter, but doesn't has the predisposition of the 'staying power' sign and mutable sign, which means that the sprinter can burst speed and gain a lot of distance early on, but after 3 or so minutes, loses power quickly, and not being mutable means that the person can't adapt as well to changes in situations and other people. The rest of the paragraph was me laying out the complexities of this situation, as I like to think broadly and in holistic ways, so yes I tend to extrapolate other empirics from other contexts and weave together a complex idea, to show that this isn't a simple situation. Andrew Tate's life isn't so simple than what most just assume nowadays. There's real world, environment and circumstances that do shape a person into a Swindler or con artist, to which Andrew Tate is mostly the victim of a system that failed him, but manages to not fail most average people or other groups.

@supremeyingyang Of course I'm serious. Why do you think I'm posted that way? To troll and hate on Andrew Tate? Has Tik Tok ruined your brain and common sense too? I posted to express my complicated opinion, and both understanding and empathy for Tate's situation. Sorry astrology or science isn't your cup of tea.

@How to be wise Shows you how powerful ideologies indoctrinated into your mind from upbringing, self biases and preferences, diverse life experiences and worldviews are, and how states, cognition, moral systems, and values systems deep in the psyche, all dictate how you interpret life and the world.

@Sincerity Okay, asking more questions and contemplate more in general, like Leo's '64 questions', and contemplation videos. If you don't mind, could you list some more specific technics you use to generate more insights? For me, I'm starting like an ideas generating journal for businesses.
