No I don't see it, he can either have a life Purpose and a vision, and do the things he wants to do, or not. The alternative is... not having that what I listed and ironically blending in with those billions of people he's talking about, because the alternative is a dead end job, so you'll fit right in. I'm assuming that yes and if he doesn't resonate with that, nobody gets hurt... You're overanalyzing it (and the rest) I was trying to be semi inspirational I guess, you don't have to break down every sentence I said. I'm getting lost in thought just reading it. I actually like you, @Danioover9000 so no hard feelings. If you're hot we can talk. I've got maybe 15-20% gay in me.

@EugeneTheSage F it I'll do it as well, is there a way to do it online? I've been hearing about vitamin deficiencies for years now and I never paid any attention to them. Truly horrible things happening Edit: by online I meant sending it somewhere via mail

What I meant by that is you can't do pholosophy without consciousness. And machine learning won't give you that

If It has unlimited memory then OpenAI has unlimited money High level content with an asterisk, what does 'manipulate data' even mean? It can do that better than people who don't know how to do those tasks Well that's just plain wrong, How can A.I do any philosophy if A.I doesn't have consciousness, I thought that consciousness is required for philosophy no? My dog is such a philosopher, in fact, he wrote this. You're forgetting that A.I philosophy is based on Human philosophy, that's how A.I works. It's not inventing anything new A.I is not imagining or discovering anything, it's learning through humans Everything I just said applies right now, as for the future... you're probably not wrong. Who's to say A.I can't get consciousness? It seems that consciousness is partly made out of memory and attention, so you got memory out of the way I guess The future is gonna be different, by the time A.I gains consciousness and is able to do philosophy (if ever) were all gonna be long dead How crazy would it be for A.I to just become conscious on its own, just by throwing enough shit at it and making it more complex, complexity is also a feature of consciousness it seems. You never know

When It comes to Entrainment - Shows & Games I seem to naturally like Highly Strange Entrainment, Maybe this discovery can help me with Life Purpose & Direction High Strangeness is often something Silly, Exaggerated, Often Colorful, almost Synonymous with the word 'Magical', And Of course... It's Unique.

I actually remember being kinda semi raped when I was a kid <10. I was a very social and extroverted kid so when friends my age didn't want to go play outisde I'd hang out with older guys which were 17ish. Right now I have no emotional reactions to that experience whatsoever, but back then, as it was happening I was very aware that it was some version of rape. And it was happening against my will. I didn't do anything and never told anybody. I was very forgiving and playfull so all I did was prank those guys that same day with fake blood coming out my belly button (they fell for it hard, and I mean hard hard) Since I'm not that same kid anymore I lost my tolerance for human assholery, so if it happened to me now I would probably smash your skull against the wall. High school bullying was way worse than that brief rape moment. I was always very physical even against verbal provocations. And it eventually stopped because of that but I always felt hated by my class mates. We just didn't get along. At that point I was very close to a school shooter, I had that mentality and anger in me. My advice is to just be tough and strong, both physically and especially mentally. Practice martial arts if you enjoy them (it's honestly hard not to) the barbaric world we left a while ago still rears its ugly head from time to time. I've always been kinda shy and introverted with regular people and women, where I need more assertiveness. But when it comes to assholes I always handled myself well. You have to think practically and realistically, how do I avoid being raped next time? No theories or concepts here, you either run and scream or you fight, grab onto a rough object and fight. I don't see how police could ever do anything for you. They certainly didn't do anything to help me, and my rape moment happened behind my own middle school. If your family and especially friends ever hear that you've been raped or bullied, it will back fire. Guess what happens then? You will be bullied because of the fact people know you've been bullied. Your family gets into a victim hood loop and they treat you like you have no independence. Grown ups treat bullied teenagers like 7 year old boys and they have no idea how to deal with it whatsoever and just kinda hope it doesn't happen. A popular Anime "Attack on Titan" paints a great picture of how heavly traumatized minds become what they become e.i school shooters. I actually totally understand both bullies, rapists and people who get bullied and raped, cuz I've experienced rape, I've been bullied and I have bullied many others back in the day myself. The author who wrote fight club (yes the brad pitt fight club) actually specializes in such morbid stories, he's great. European kids get bullied and raped, we just don't have the guns and the shooter culture Americans have.

Aren't those retreats really expensive? I've never been to one so I don't know much about it. Perhaps someone can confirm?

Just leave it alone man

Here is the most insane bonkers crazy (but real) idea ever Space and time are interwoven, this could be the biggest mind opener ever, it's proven.. yet it seems like fiction. It seems like the safest thing to assume right? Time has nothing to do with Space, that's just silly! How did the universe begin? There's no answer that won't blow your mind Does the universe have walls or does it stretch on and on infinitely? There's no answer that won't blow your mind, because the only logical answer is walls! But In this case walls at the end of the universe would still be crazy. How does a black hole work? What is anti matter and or dark matter? Hundreds of Billions of people dead or alive have naturally assumed that Space and time have nothing to do with each other, and yet we were wrong. What else are we wrong about? It's easy to point out mistakes and make discoveries within the material realm. How does something like time... even exist? EDIT:

Jobs & businesses are constantly evolving. This is simply coming to test your steel. Who sits above the A.I, You! By the time A.I gains the ability to make amazing movies by itself, it will spread into other areas. (If ever) Reminder that Steve jobs knew nothing about engineering or programming, but he was the leader of the biggest technology company. So in this case, Is Steve getting automated or are his employees having to do less work?

Wow you're using psychedelics to contemplate life Purpose, I thought that would be counter productive for some reason. I "contemplated" a similar question, and got the same answer: I should definitely look for something that I'm gonna be interested in 30 years. With the way our society evolves jobs and businesses are constantly changing, so what will happen when something you do morphs into something else? When that happens you really have to love what you do to keep going. An example of jobs & businesses evolving is actually in your ball park, the standard way of doing art is being threatened by A.I. and A.I. is probably going to wipe the floor with people who don't care much about it. While people who love art are always going to fight for it, they're always going to innovate and do it better than A.I ever could. People who don't love their jobs aren't going to jump through extra hoops or run an extra mile to do it better. I'm assuming you're a digital artist so what tablet do you use for it?

If I die and someone brings 80% of my brain/mind back to life in 50 years. Would I wake up like I just went to sleep? Or would someone else, someone new, someone similar to me, wake up in my body? This makes me think... What am I? Who am I? How much of me is me? Sounds like I'm nothing... but also everything, everything... I just keep forgetting. Like I'm disconnected from the server where all these memories are stored, who's memories? Well, Memories of the universe of course. Ancient humming universe.

Steve Jobs was a rockstar Crazy hippy hobo creative leader, I resonate with his story so much. Apple Makes some really cool products, even though I don't buy them myself. They have this cool consistency with Corner Radius.

Often a counter argument for these threads is... What's the alternative? I understand that some people (including myself) are free souls here, we're not particularly built for this age of capitalism and work. In other words we're ahead of our time. If society was advanced enough we would be hopping from galaxy to galaxy. Not to add to your Nihilism but you gotta work with what you have, it's just the way it is. In this case that means motivating yourself to spend your paid time meaningfully instead of wasting it. What does the # of people have to do with anything lol, there are probably quadrillions of stars out there, none of them are like... man what's to point of burning away if everyone else is just burning as well.

Terraria Is an Amazing game, but there's a mod called "Calamity" that makes it even better. Here are some of my favorite bosses: Supreme Calamitas (first image) and his 2 brothers Supreme Cataclysm (Second) and Supreme Catastrophe (Third image) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jungle Dragon Yharon (Second hardest after Supreme Calamitas) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Devourer of Gods (He's a lot bigger in-game) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Plaguebringer Goliath ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Providence, The Profaned Goddess (She was Extremely hard to beat) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leviathan and Anahita (Leviathan is also a lot bigger in game) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Favorite class to play is Melee, here are some great swords: Ark of The Cosmos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Galaxia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roxcalibur ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And finally, Murasama. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are my 2 favorite vanilla bosses Wall of Flesh (Killing this boss unlocks crazy new armor, ore, weapons and bosses). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Final boss of Vanilla Terraria, Moon Lord.

Adventure time is madness. Extraordinary & Amazing.

Whenever I think of Norway:

We all know who techlead is (as millionaires)

After Im at least halfway through getting my Life Purpose stuff together, I want to go through some sort of a 'hardening phase' or assertiveness growth. I have trouble standing up to people even when I'm in the right. As I grow up and become more independent it's becoming increasingly more painful to be stumped on and disrespected. So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, don't hesitate to share them here. I was thinking of joining the military to accomplish it but I find it kinda long and extreme. I don't need physical strength (at least I don't think I do) I need mental durability I wonder if becoming more of a conservative could place me on this path I really thought I was deep in stage green, which I still might be... but its clear that I have a lot of stage orange qualities that need work, better late than never I guess.

Man everyone sit down

I have been in such a discord before, clicked a discord link on someone's profile here. left shortly after because I knew this would happen.

Unless you're working in a quiet and peaceful environment, having a normal job (like 99% of people) sucks, this is nothing new I know, but it's much worse than I thought. And I have an office job! Office jobs are supposed to be higher tier. I'd like to share my view on it. To me It feels as though I'm fighting for someone else's shit (I don't have a better word for it) working for someone else literally means fighting their battles for them, having to deal with endless shit just to be paid a fraction of what they make. All labor is like this, we don't have intelligent enough A.I so we have to use humans, for these stupid grulling lifeless often mechanical tasks. Today, on Leo's blog I saw a video of a policemen getting shot by a fugitive. NOW IMAGINE THAT!!!! potentially getting killed just because your boss told you to chase him. That's totally fucked, that cop had no choice, no freedom. That gun wound has and probably will continue to be a inconvenience for him, until his death. I am truly sorry for all the people, dead or alive. Who wasted their lives doing shit like this, helping ease their hallow lives with social banter and entertainment. Our society is built on the backs of such individuals, they lived like peasants so that we can live like royals. Nobody in their right mind should stand for such a unremarkable existence. I am making this thread to announce my dedication to discipline, passion and the concept of living life with Purpose. Because wasting my life, cubicle or not, blows. Thing is, my job isn't actually half bad, I'm just tired of wasting my time, tired of meaninglessness.

everything noted ^

I don't even know if I need this kind of thing, will I waste my time doing it? I think my best life would probably be 0 human interaction. Probably somewhere on an island given that I don't have trouble surviving on it. I really don't crave interaction, I think my mind would be an awesome companion on its own.

I didn't want to create a thread about this but I find your situation particularly impressive. How did you achieve financial freedom with just a single product* and with little to no marketing?
