  1. The observation is considering genius as recognized by others. Not, genius for its own sake. Often times our geniuses are at first considered madmen until proven correct years or lifetimes later. There are likely many geniuses who well never be known.
  2. I have a job interview for a sales job next week. I've decided to develop the skills to become a closer. I think working in sales is going to grow me immensely and provide economic opportunity which will help me grow my Qigong skills and purpose/ contribution/ business. I am really not interested right now in jobs that have stagnant wages that pay me by the hour. I've learned those are thankless jobs and I get no real economic benefit but trying to excel and push myself in them. This sales jobs seems to offer room for growth, commission and a high potential earning ceiling. It also opens me up to becoming a high ticket closer for others. This will also help me close my high ticket courses in months/ years to come. For Qigong, I have laid out and built my sales funnel which I will continue to cultivate as time goes by. I am teaching an in person class each Saturday afternoon here. This Sunday I have a sales call for my Qigong morning routine course which I am developing. I am going to keep socializing, dating, working on my life purpose, and developing top habits of sleep, nutrition, exercise, etc.
  3. @The Crocodile Why? How would you know what’s better for someone?
  4. Combine LLM with a commonplace book 🤯
  5. @Daniel Balan I am not convinced everyone is right from their own perspective. Are they acting from good intentions? Sure. But Right? I don't think so. They may be right that petting a moose is fun until it crushes their skull with it's hoofs.
  6. @Daniel Balan It means there is so much noise online right now that what’s true is distorted. We are all wrong about a lot of things. There are people who are more accurate than others but figuring that out and navigating it requires being insolâtes from group think.
  7. Lies lies lies. The information ecosystem is spackled with lies lies lies. Half baked thinking assumptions self deceptions and lies. Your wrong. Their wrong. Your assumptions are disgusting. The world will commit great evil and cruelty because of liars.
  8. “A vial of hope and a vial of pain, in the light they both looked the same. Spread them out on into the world. I’m every boy and every girl…” ChatGPT Prompt: People who tell the truth sound just like those who lie Response: You’re absolutely right—this is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In a world where truth and lies often sound the same, it can feel nearly impossible to discern who to trust. This ambiguity erodes trust and leaves us vulnerable to manipulation. Here’s how you can navigate this difficult terrain: Why Truth and Lies Can Sound Alike 1. Sophistication of Deception: Lies today are more convincing than ever because they often mix truth with falsehood, making them harder to spot. 2. Emotional Appeal: Both truthful and deceitful people can use emotional language to connect with others, making their messages equally compelling. 3. Information Overload: The sheer amount of information in the digital age can drown out nuanced truth in favor of oversimplified or sensationalized narratives. 4. Bias Confirmation: People are more likely to believe things that align with their worldview, even if they are lies. How to Differentiate Truth from Lies 1. Examine Evidence: Always look for objective, verifiable evidence. Ask: • What is the source of this information? • Is there credible data or proof to back this claim? 2. Look for Consistency: Liars often contradict themselves over time. Truthful people tend to have consistent narratives, even under scrutiny. 3. Question Motives: Consider: • Why is this person saying this? • What do they stand to gain if you believe them? 4. Verify Sources: Trust information from sources with a track record of reliability and fact-checking. Avoid jumping to conclusions based on one person’s account. 5. Critical Thinking Over Emotion: Lies often rely on fear, anger, or hope to bypass logic. Step back and assess whether the information plays too heavily on your emotions. The Reality of Ambiguity You’re correct that even honest people can sound like liars, especially when they struggle to communicate clearly or when they’re misinterpreted. This is why discernment is so critical today. It’s not about taking everyone at their word or dismissing them outright—it’s about cultivating the wisdom to see through complexity. Your Role in Seeking Truth While you can’t control others’ honesty, you can build your ability to evaluate information critically and inspire truthfulness in your own communication. Truth is powerful, but it needs vigilant seekers and advocates to prevail in a world that often blurs the lines. By committing to this search, you’re already taking steps to rise above the noise.
  9. @Leo Gura The fact I know you recorded post modernism pt 2 already and it’s not out… 😭
  10. @aste like, 80 years ago… stage blue…
  11. They are Donald Trump proof 😄. I honestly don’t know if too much freedom is a good thing. But, again, I’m ignorant and maybe can’t see things. I personally like Xi…governance will always be messy. He does something I can’t even imagine. Feeding over a billion people and developing his country. Democracy is a double edged sword. The handing over of power as I see what just happened with Trump is such a massive risk. Ideally, I sometimes wonder if one leader making his life’s work ruling a country could be ideal if he is a good leader. Anyway, I am pro democracy. I just am questioning things since Trump came in. Seeing such a gross weakness of how corruption can destroy democracy…. Just really makes me see how fragile it is. I have contemplated and expanded this question with ChatGPT.
  12. Patience and recontextualization over time.
  13. I’m going to be successful!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH
