@rnd Do you mean when government raises the tax rate across the population, regardless of income and wealth? I could see the problem if that's what you meant.

How is Joe Rogan being Irresponsible? Could anyone give me a list of examples where he is being irresponsible? Also, to compare and contrast, How is his irresponsibility similar to and different from Leo's irresponsibility, for example? Or anyone besides Leo as a comparison?

@Lyubov Really good post. Keep up with posting the limits of stage green, as a pre mortem before getting to stage green is very useful. I'll post some examples too. and Stage green limits on plagiarism and some on cancel culture. Stage green's weakness to individuals stage red/blue, able to manipulate and lead a group of stage green people. Unless stage green has integrated stage orange's ability to check and enforce boundaries, stage green is vulnerable to hijack from stage red.

@Gabith I've done different types of visualizations, and what I can say so far is that when it comes to doing negative visualizations, it's important to do two things: focus more on the positive feelings than the negative content of the negative visualizations, and do positive or motivational visualizations separately, either on the same day or the following day. I wouldn't suggest only doing negative visualizations without balancing it out.

@Hardkill Clearly, this entire situation is complicated. Let's assume that America does back out of the middle east region, does this also mean that other countries like China and Russia would do the same? We can have a long discussion about this scenario, but let's skip and go further by assuming that China, Russia and other foreign powers back off and decide to leave the middle eastern countries to sort themselves out, what then?

@Flowerfaeiry Your body is craving the caffeine for energy boost, especially if you mentioned your job is actually demanding physically, it needs slightly more energy during the work. Also check your sleep quality and nutrition, as these largely effect energy levels in mind and body. Also, if you do exercise, check if the exercised muscle groups are also primarily used in your work as well, and consider allocating to exercise different muscle groups instead, giving a little bit more time for those primary groups to rest, or even reduce the frequency of your exercises, or taking a longer break. What wrongs you have done so far, we can't say for sure, but for this potentially not listening to what your body signals as a need, your mind suppressing the feelings, not noticing your mind's associations with coffee, these are potential red flags, along with not being sensitive enough to change the balance a bit. Assuming you drank coffee heavily in the past, now you've taken months off of coffee. Consider rewarding yourself for those months by drinking some tea, or decaff, or your usual coffee but slightly reduced amounts.

Guys! Don't forget that the quality of your pillows will impact whether you will have a long lasting single relationship with your woman. Also, I wouldn't suggest having multiple sex partners, that's similar to having many affairs. Just one affair is really hard to manage.

If you read manga, the entire seinen manga category, with titles like Berserk, Vegabond, Vinland saga, The kingdom. Really good comic books.

Are there multiple types of biases? Foe examples, there's the rationale/speculation bais, similar to arm chair philosophy, and there's the intuition bias, of two people having different intuition in the same situations. There's also experiential bias, lived and imagined, that makes ine person's direct experience different from another's. Even in reasoning there's a bias, because some lines of reasoning, if I take action on, hurt me more, but other lines help me more. Is it different forms of confirmation bias?

This is similar to my childhood-adolescent years of me travelling to different countries with my family. It was quite the experience.

@Raphael Agreed. If we can not only inform kids and parents of the harms that social media does to attention span and articulation of thoughts, then the next issue is figuring out ways for the parents to discipline kids just enough that they don't over use social media, without it looking too narcissistic to other people. Not only that, but each person who uses social media too much will have to work a bit harder on unwiring this addiction.

Found an interesting video about Tik Tok and it's dangers. I initial thought it's bad, but it was much worse than I thought. Here it is: Personally, I mostly don't use socially media much, so when I come across sites, I can quickly feel if this site is good or bad intuitively. Tik Tok takes the cake for inducing the strongest cringe in me in terms of social media sites only. Jeebus christ, I feel sorry for those hooked on Tik Tok.

@Hardkill I agree that some people find dating harder than other fields, and from what I've known so far, this guy is definitely cold approaching 100-1000 times, on a daily bases. To me, that's a good start to at least getting used to being social and getting used to rejection face-to-face, which is what most people here don't quite get. With a decent dating coach, I'm sure the guy could get faster success due to him collecting experience in him approaching, assuming that he's open to feedback, and whatever physical/mental disorder is not too severe. I've gone through a similar phase this guy's going through, so for some people building up through repetition is one way.

I found one video of a series of cold approaches. Valuable to learn from: and

@DocWatts I just comment because I don't immediately trust the messaging. Personally, raising the minimum wage effects me to some degree, so I would be in support of raising minimum wages, for me firstly before others. However, I would suggest support for it if the countries and businesses in question can sustain raising the minimum wage, for every 4-5years, from 15 to 20 to 25 and so on. I wouldn't be in support for this action if later, or sooner, I found out that this opens up ramifications that later effect certain countries. and their economics. I'm biased in leaning some support for this, along with more options to raise salary as well, so my position on this is a polarized one. I can also see this apply to the USA, but does this equally apply to a third world country, with no strong capitalistic frame work? Also I disagree with their take on Bernie, as that is largely the development of average Americans that make that decision about Bernie, and their criticisms of him don't hold much water to me. Even though this is coming from progressives, my bias, I also give equal doubt to other left news, and right-wing news as well, which is also my bias. I'm more careful with public figures spreading a message, and blindly following the call to action, when sometimes it can backfire. Having said that, as long as you have considered this a lot, then whatever decision you make is a good one, so all to you.

@Apparition of Jack Yes, a call for the church to be more generous with charity to it's own ventures, while modifying and expanding it's environment to suit it's own survival.

@Hardkill I'd like to point out that this video message is an attempt to manipulate my progressive side, so whatever decision you make, to be in favor for or against this message, be mindful that this is an ideological recruitment to action, comparable to a priest calling for the followers to donate to the church, or spread and proselytize our religion.

This does open up other possibilities for crypto-currency, for businesses, funding, and other areas of life. However, if there's not that much infrastructure to support crypto-currency being a viable way of living, then it's not too secure long-term.

Interesting discussion about Covid, and why people find it hard to be open to the possiblility that it might have been from the labs, not the wet markets.

@Phyllis Wagner Is there a video about this?

It seems more likely that it's from the lab near Wu Han. Regardless if it's intentional or accidental, the claim that this virus originated from nature is suspect, as if that's true, then the outbreak would originate in southern China, near the region of the bat population, and spread from there, not in Wu Han straight away. I also noticed they brought up genetic engineering, and printing RNA/DNA codes to develop viruses, cloning, and so on.

Wow, this has been one of many topics I'm contemplating at the moment, synchronicity at it again with me . It'll be interesting to hear Leo's take on it currently. To start off shallow, to me discipline has been mostly exercising one's will power, and delaying gratification, always 'pushing the envelop' gradually, so that over time, in 5,10 or so years, people who don't have that comparable level of discipline will look at you the way you looked at some master or legendary figure you looked up to, and wonder how they got there to begin with. It has mostly involved a continuous process of re-committing to some interest or field, or even following a value.

@Florian Shows just how money can reveal deeper selfishness, even in people who look marginalized. But this isn't a full picture, as this is a show.

The video is basically that other perspectives are partial, and not to fully trust in one new one, or to double down on one. @Leo Gura The A.I programs from Google are Alpha Go, for the Chinese Go game, and Alpha Zero, for the chess game.

Keep in mind Bill Gates has a form of autism that makes it suspect when he's giggling over the topic of the pandemic. I wouldn't put too much concern over his reaction. It could also be from years of most people denying his prediction of an outbreak occurring as well.
