Initially I was getting frustrated with the interviewers.
But then I realized it helped me appreciate the discrepancy between even stage green and a truth psychopath 😂
No wonder society feels so incompatible on a personal level.

@Leo Gura He's in the 6000s

33 minutes ago, Leo Gura said:BTW, you are grossly over-estimating that number. You have not played even close to 10,000 games of chess. That's an insane number that even a grandmaster hasn't played.
I heard Magnus in a fun video where he had to guess strangers ELO and he said something like a few thousands games isn't very much in Chess. So he predicted that the player was very low ELO like 1000 or something based on that along with a few questions about how they approach the game.
I haven't lost the nuance though. I think with Chess for instance there are certain suggested avenues in terms of training, and ways of looking at the board that are mental shortcuts so to speak. Principles and so forth that allow you to cut through the noise and simplify the logic.
I think that's the problem with most humans that they don't really reflect on what they are doing.
Hence you see a lot of people that are mentally stunted.
And to be fair if you are around low consciousness people you are just repeating the same loop over and over, perhaps your whole life.
Hence the benefit of independent thinking, albeit their is also wisdom is structures that are proven. You just need to be selective and intelligent about which ones to plug into and benefit from.
Granted most of these are shorter games and not serious 15+ min games but this is just Chess.com. Add onto that his OTB classical games which Google AI said was only around 6000. Makes sense.
I will concede that proves your point.
6000 classical games is some serious shit. Actually gives you enough time to think things through thoroughly as opoosed to the mindlessness of Blitz games.

I've probably played 10,000 Chess games yet I'm only in the top 65% of players.
Am I stupid?
I think just doing the thing is not enough. But serious analysis and curiosity is necessary along the way to notice the gaps in your approach.
I think in the majority of cases experience will suffice to see radical improvements and transformation but I think their can be bottleknecks depending on intellectual aptitude, trauma, etc...

@cistanche_enjoyer It is societal conditioning for sure. What do you suggest as an alternative? Pranayama and chill?

@fopyloBro it's not weird being there alone. A very large percentage of people in Thailand are traveling solo. If they are in groups it's because they met them in Thailand in many cases.
This is not the same environment as your home town where everyone sticks to their high school cliques and ostracizes you.
It will be hard to see through what I am saying until you let your guard down and start talking to people.
Stay at a hostel for a couple of nights.
Might be nerve-wracking at first based on how you are describing yourself.

The cosmic joke

@Ramasta9 Yeah but 5 mil is kinda over kill in these locations.
But it also is pennies basically in Silicon Valley or other high opportunity locations.
So Maybe you're right.

@enchanted No it's epistemic slop. Disrespectful to my intelligence to even consider it.

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

@Hojo For the example you provided specifically fear or shyness came to mind.
For some of the photos I knew the emotion already without looking at the multiple choice.
Because I tried to discern it first before biasing myself with the answer choices.

9 hours ago, Hojo said:@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.

On 1/23/2026 at 1:17 AM, Hojo said:@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

Dr: You know since your into spirituality... there's something I should tell you... Sometimes I'll hallucinate things.
Leo: You entire life is a hallucination.

Absolutely.
Neurotypicals are stupid as hell, group-thinking herd animals that fall for every human bias in the book with ease and without questioning themselves.

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.

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.

15 minutes ago, Salvijus said: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.

@Joshe Absolutely. I've seen this cope so many times. There are fictional stories warning about becoming this type of person. The genius that has the whole world figured out and is "above" most things in society, yet is a man child playing video games in their parents basement -- because it's easier to create castles in your head than accept the reality of being mediocre. Such a person hasn't even stepped into the ring.
