I am neither left nor right, but I look at how true something is. You @Leo Gura have obviously political interest in supporting left and want to use it to protect your business. People who are supporting just one side of the spectrum (call themselves conservative or progressive) are proven to have a lower IQ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/unique-everybody-else/201305/intelligence-and-politics-have-complex-relationship Everybody knows, that Leo's IQ is not extraordinary high. And this is ok. And we need logic and rationality in our society, otherwise dumb people will take over and make stupid decisions.

How do you measure that? Obviously ideas of the right are build upon existing and established or working ideas. Every idea is somehow build upon shoulder of giants. The left comes with lofty, unrealistic ideas, which often contradict science/logic and don't work. Of course sometimes the left has also good ideas. It is hard to compare anyways.

I agree. And if we would cut that part of the brain off, it would lead to suffering as well, because it is interconnected with other parts of the brain. One would have to redesign the whole thing from scratch and even then empathy and social cohesion would be a necessary part of it and happiness cannot work without emotions or empathy. Thats why Psychopaths can rarely or not feel it. They feel pleasure at max.

People basically want relationships, because they don't feel self-sufficient or a sense of their life not being complete. For me, this is a sign of low self-esteem. I don't want a relationship, but would be open for it, if it somehow transpires. But I don't go to dating platforms and try to artificially construct something. So many people do this and I cannot relate to this at all, so I feel something is wrong with me even if - obviously - something is wrong with all other people..

Moreover, people who think everybody should do what they want to do don't realize the only reason why they can do so much is that an economy and society could grow only because of moral and ethical rules. We wouldn't have all the progress if the individual would have been in the center for so long and if it becomes worse, that would be the cause of the end of our civilization - not climate change. I think, it is a shame how we treat the fruits of our ancestors, great inventors and minds. All the achievements of the Enlightenment, among others, are being trampled on by people who are 100 times dumber than they are but who hold important political and socio-economic positions. And many people get trapped in chasing stimulations (like money, sex, social status etc.), because they think "I know what you mean, but I have to experience that for myself. I think I have to go through this phase" - not getting the idea that they only want to do that, because they were manipulated by gurus, media etc. And that it only costs time and doesn't deliver the personal development one think it could. Letting go of the thought "I somehow missing having done this" or FOMO does deliver more development than giving in. I mean money, sex and social status can be good (but not the best things life can offer), if it is used in moderation and has no importance - other than it is important to survive physically of course.

Nowadays, people lack of ideas and they try to come up with something new and think they are geniuses and call themselves "progressive". More than 99% of all people, who call themselves "progressive" aren't actually it. They want to reverse wisdom and moral codexes, which are etablished over thousands of years, because they want to be "free". But what they call freedom is no real freedom but the endless chasing of stimulating experiences, which doesn't make anybody happy. I think most of the progressive types aren't as near as smart as philosophers like Aristoteles and co. . They are just dumb people who want to feel smart. And thus mislead people and cause widespread suffering as a result. Individualism is a complete illusion or delusion and it is so obvious.

I think maybe authentic interest is when you don't have a concious agenda and don't think about or be too concious about what you say.. And if it is not trained according to ones own agenda, but to make other people feel good at max. Social conditioning is less selfish, because it is social. Self-conditioning is selfish by definition. And being selfish is not a good thing. Because, it is not possible to live fully individual. The community always matters as well. Unless you want to have chaos, war and pure suffering. Now the question arises: "Is conditioning by media or social media social-conditioning?" It is not, because it is based upon the agenda of a minority of people.

@Tyler Robinson Basically, we all have preferences. And thus, we don't really love each other. Instead, we want to use each other for our own purposes and only care because of survival reasons. Now, maybe real love arises out of this selfish interests, but not the way it appears to be. I don't think anybody can ever overcome his conditioning. But what do you do when you aware about that? Each communication and connection feels fake and selfish.. Even if I don't think about it, if someone comes accross and want to artifically create a connection via some memorized methods it comes up again. What is the line between authentic interest and selfish interest if every action is based upon conditioning?

Because, so much is available most people are not greatful for what they have or can get. The positive part is that it becomes obvious that nothing is really special. If something or somebody appears to be great - around the corner is somebody outperforming this person. Because in dating it is about properties like how you look, how much money you have, how much you know or what close you wear and if you are funny. Thus, everybody to date is always a compromise. But nobody wants to be a compromise, so everybody deludes themselves that their relationship is something special, even if the partner probably would chose someone else who appeals better, if the person would be available. That is why this romance thing etablished by hollywood is so fake. Basically one could have an arranged marriage and it wouldn't be much different. I think they turn out quite similar than relationships arranged via dating apps based on features who appear to be desirable for a person but isn't actually that crucial for a good relationship.

I think the biggest problem is not, that people don't talk to each other. The biggest issue is, that they don't really listen to each other and chasing stimulations instead of qualitative good experiences.

There are less homeless people, comparabe much less slaves. More opportunities etc. You cannot really compare the crime rates because laws were different accross time and space. Yes, there is no authentic intimacy, that sucks, too. If I go out I often get compliments and then I feel sick because it's so cheap and public that someone wants to manipulate you. And even if not, then tehy should leave it because it just looks silly. Instead of listening properly, many act put-upon with an agenda to get what they want instead of having authentic interest.

I think it is not natural to feel this way, because imo this phenomenon did arise in accordance with the development of civilized based social isolation. And for me it is frustrating to see, that it is almost impossible to meet healthy people. There are much people who are perceived as healthy, but if you look closer - they are not. E.g. almost nobody is really stable in life, because if one murders their family, they won't be stable anymore and thus it is obvious that their happiness depends on external circumstances. Moreover, almost nobody is rooted in actual reality, because nowadays there are no real challenges people are facing. They make huge issues out of nothing, chasing unrealistic goals which are not their own goals etc. I get pissed off when I hear about the next idiot who wants to kill himself because of pussy problems.

For the sake of living itself and being greatful to perceive, breath and experience things, no matter if they are evil or not, if it is suffering, pleasure or happiness. This life is not made for you to be happy all the time. It is not just about yourself, it is also about contributing to society and other people in general. If you would kill yourself, you wouldn't be greatful for all the suffering your ancestors have gone through including the effort of raising their childs so you can live now. You currently live in infinite grace, because you could be tortured in a chamber for years where nobody can find you and raped 8 hours each day. You can kill yourself, but this would demonstrate bad character.

I don't want to see Leo demonstrating how to fuck. There is enough ugly material on OnlyFans and co. available.

@at_anchor I feel you. They shouldnt have done this to you. They are not allowed to behave in this way. If you feel bitter, it nourishes them and they will comeback to hurt you again. This cycle will never end until you accept it. Maybe they will torture you anyways for years but accepting is the best thing you can do. Suicide is too risky and too complicated + much work involved. You can always escape financially.

You can rent the house your parents are building for you. You will make it!

You wouldn't, because they don't smell very well. You wouldn't kiss a bum on the street either.

You will be able to concentrate in the future, even with your urges. I believe in you!

You will make it! Would suggest to do nothing about it and let it happen.

You are such a great person and so intelligent as one can see from your posts. You can achieve so much and overcome your trauma! But if you want to die, go ahead. There are many other people here in the world, so it wouldn't make much of a difference. Although, I don't recommend it.

I would suggest to make it through until the anxiety ends. It will. I am sure you will make it, you sound pretty competent!

Explain me the usp

Big Five has a higher validity. MBTI is just more established, especially in business.

We may should regulate hedge-fonds and investment companies, as well as governments to not misuse AI. It was already misused e.g. in the case of Cambridge Analytica. Of course it is marketing that AI will somehow enslave us. Elon Musk is not a genius, but one of the best sales persons in the world. And Stephen Hawking etc. also need marketing. Scientist often make broad predictions and claims to gain attention.

We are not even close to general AI. Maybe it won't be achieved at all, because this would require a complete new approach to machine learning/AI. It is more probable than unprobable that nobody of us will experience it.
