    I've heard rumblings around Vegas that Leo is one of the biggest real estate moguls in the state of Nevada.

    @Ramasta9 

    With 5 million might as well live in a better location. 

    SE Asia is for brokies trying to live like millionaires.

    If you have 5 mil might as well leverage the money and live in a location where you can really put it to work and do bigger things.

    I guess the healing / retreat biz is cool though. Don't know much about it.

    @PenguinPabloWhats this person feeling?

    No multiple choice because you dont get that in real life. Multiple choice on a face reading exercise is bogus. You are just guessing at that point. You are not 'reading' someone face you are looking at eyes and making a guess based on the answers they give you.

    On some of them I did guess.

    However, on some of them the emotion came to my mind and then I chose the emotion most similar to what I felt.

    On others I would look at the face first. Then look at the answer choices and intuitively select the choice that "felt" like what I felt from the eyes.

    I got 29 as a score which I think was slightly higher than the neurotypical average.

    It was also a bit stressful and draining taking the test for me. Not cognitively but emotionally draining. 

    By your standard of multiple choice tests not meaning anything, you should go revamp the entire education system since multiple choice doesn't mean anything. 

    I'm not sure how effective this test is specifically for what it purportedly  measures but I can understand the reasoning for it's design. 

    That's why you can't evaluate autism with a single test.

    @Hojo Then it would be way too obvious. 

    Also I specifically said right after that the eyes dilate in certain ways and the muscles surrounding the eyes.

    Many people aren't extremely expressive anyway with their entire face.

    So you'd have less to go off on if they didn't speak or made a very subtle micro expression. 

    Not sure if you're being intentionally dense or just playing devils advocate.

    For experiment purpose I'm sure there's tons of methodology and reasoning for why they do it around the eye area.

    @Carl-RichardI got 18, test seems dumb what does autism have to do with eyes. If there are no people around are you still autistic.Philosophically maybe not. How can they guarantee the actors or faces are making the right expressions?

    Obviously there is some universality and overlap in facial expression across our species. Certain patterns in terms of how the eyes express themselves and the muscles surrounding it. 

    People with autism have a harder time reading this. But I didn't have to say that part. Everybody knows that. 

    Anyway I scored 29. @Carl-Richard

    I know education in the US is bad, but it can't be that bad, can it? 

     

    If you take regular classes and not the harder advanced ones basically it's 100x worse even.

    That education is not worth a penny.

    I mean you can absolutely see based on the current state of the US that we are absolutely cooked intellectually.

    Dude, you are missing the true meaning of a PhD. 

    When I tell people I have a PhD, it means a pretty huge dick. 

    Yeah, but he didn't specify what type of academic study.

    4 Hours of his videos are worth 2 years in kindergarten. It adds up. 

     

     

    Yes using that comparison a couple of Leo videos is basically richer than your entire k-12 education.

    I reckon from the view point of the right, the woman is seen responsible for her death because she antagonized the officer and than drove recklessly towards him in a semi dangerous way which gave him a semi valid reason to shoot. You could argue that the officer's actions were overboard and that he should face consequences. But it's hard to sympathize with someone who was dancing striptease on that barrel of a gun for no good reason. Like really. Wtf was she doing there pissing them off? What was she trying to achieve there? Idk, I don't have the full picture understanding here myself. 

    I mean by that standard there's hoards of people doing similar already via the protests and generally being disruptive to their operations. 

    On the one hand it's admirable that they are standing up for their values.

    On the other hand it's very reckless. People seem to be forgetting that the ICE guys have guns.

    Mocking them to their face and getting confrontational is not something I would do to somebody with low emotional and intellectual intelligence, poor training, very low epistemic and moral standard.

    If anything, I'd avoid them to the best of my ability. Comply and minimize my interactions with them as best as possible to avoid any "accidents" on their end.

    Always assume risk around stupid people.

    Personally my relentless striving and psychotic drive has dissipated.

    I cannot do it any more.

    The best way I have found is to do a simple relatively high paying job.

    Or something you are really passionate about.

    I don't think meditating endlessly will cut it for most people. 

    You have to take some degree of action. Not just do vipasanna in your bedroom.

    @Miguel1 almost all people who travel. Sheep level conformity. Even the german Stage Green style of travel. They have to check all the fancy hipstery experiences. Volunteer in Gambia, meditation in India, Ayahuasca in Peru, see northern lights in Sweden, teach English in Laos. Then after you flew everywhere around the globe on your parents money, protesting against climate change and feeling sorry for poor people.

    Guilty.

    You won't take away van life from me though, or my tiny home dream!
