It depends the intention behind it. If it makes you a warrior then it is beneficial to you. If it’s just being used so you can force and threaten people easily then you should reflect on why you’re doing it.

I mean Trump said it himself. He can go out and shoot and man and people will still follow him

I mean... yeah they kinda do? Literally 90% every person of power is a man. Men rape more, murder more, play more lying games more. At the same time some people run with this and want to cast judgment on people who do not deserve it or have done nothing wrong.

You have to upgrade all areas of your life after awakening and apply the wisdom as if it’s the root where everything else grows. You don’t need a relationship to be whole and it may not be something you wish to pursue in life but I would be cautious of blaming spirituality for your lack of compatibility than your own choices beliefs and expectations.

For the record I never equated AI with Tulip Mania…. It’s much more comparable to the .com bubble but at a larger scale. It will correct.

He’s just setting himself up for the long term. He’s bearish on Trump. Tucker can see Trump has less years ahead of him than he does behind him in politics. He will gladly support an ultra right wing fascist that is younger and appeals to all the Gen Z/alpha men (himself?).

I didn’t listen to it but they talk about Iran too. Crazy. I def think Jake Paul will try to run as a right wing politician in some time, he seems super power driven.

He is definitely anti Zionist which I like. He just gets clipped and spread around the political side of the “manosphere” so obviously a lot of tards and political scientists from joe rogan university run with him but he isn’t right wing like how westerners understand it. I do think he has academic integrity. He’s a Chinese citizen.

I haven’t watched all his videos so I may be exaggerating his macro perspectives but from the few I watched where he was interviewed his reasoning culminated in the strings being pulled by secret societies. I don’t have exact examples. I just know he did an interview with Sneako and his shorts are popular on the algorithm that feeds that sort of click baity conspiracy driven content Gen Z/alpha guys consume. So I am able to reasonably assume a lot of tards run with his ideas. It’s not like what we are discussing is a well thought out book by him on geopolitics that takes time to write, read and publish and which is peer reviewed and is academically scrutinized. The bar of entry is very low to learn from him. Don’t get me wrong I think his reasoning is pretty solid but it’s tainted some by social media and his lack of consciousness work. He’s the type to veer off into dark awakening and nihilism.

Looks like telegram is banned now in Russia. They have nothing left.

Dude the moment you are actually employed and you integrate it into your workflow you will see how much of this shit is hype and speculation. It is not going to substantially replace everyone. It’s modestly replacing some juniors and making some people more efficient. The layoffs aren’t because of AI. They’re genuine economic downturn and the erosion of the middle class with several problems arriving at once. Silicon Valley is just riding off that and reframing everything as “it’s AI” so people dump their life savings into investing in it. It’s actually very convenient for them from a business/ hype perspective. I’ve noticed a large uptick in quality YouTube content on people starting to share their doubts and issues with AI, obviously it’s more nuanced than forum posts here.

I was just about to make a thread on him. What do you guys think about him? I don’t think he’s entirely off but his models break down the higher he goes. He believes everything culminates in secret societies. A lot of dumb people run with his ideas. A lot of what he says is established and well grounded but he has enough fantastic ideas to hook idiots. I understand that and to a degree it’s part of being an interesting professor and lecturer where your ideas will be noticed but he veers a little too much into the doomsday angles. I don’t think everything he says will pan out in reality.

Intellectualism is dead in America

I deleted the app from my phone but still check it from my laptop once a day or every few days. I did the same for TikTok but stopped watching it all together. I feel myself less stimulated and clearer minded. Recommended. My hope is to maybe go off it for 6 months and see.

Keep in mind what looks good can change. Men now aspire for a body in the gym that was once not possible. Look at what was considered handsome and fashionable 100 years ago.

Russia did a partial mobilization which was massive, 300,000 men were called up. And in addition they have a huge pool of volunteers, Chechens, ethnic minorities signing up, paid soldiers to choose from. Ukraine does not have a fraction of the size of Russia's contract/volunteer pipeline. Ukraine is desperate for manpower because it is substantially smaller. Obviously no one knows the ratio for certain, we can triangulate some. Ukraine and Russia are promoting exaggerations. Looking at Russian tactics, Ukraine's defense positions it modestly favors Ukraine but of course you can have a better kill ratio and still be losing a long term war of attrition.

Go backpacking in Asia. It's cheap.

I don't really have a solution. I think the USA will basically have to decline in power like it is now, and the USA will hopefully kick out all the Israel lobby and spending, I think the only lasting peace that will come is Israel having a much weaker military and being forced to come to the table to negotiate and probably be a huge humiliation by giving land reparations. Either that or there will be forever wars until there is a really big one which decides who will own the land further and Israel will go down in history as a state built on genocide.

I come from neither of those camps though. I don't advocate for complete destruction of current Israel, obviously that would cause an even bigger humanitarian crisis. It's kind of understandable why so many arab people have a hardline stance on Israel though, why would you bargain or strike a deal with thieves especially when it just happened to your grandparents. It's like someone steals your grandparents land a bombs the F out of you and now you are expected to negotiate and give up land to your invaders? You're basically letting them get away with it. This is a common talking point Israel throws up though about how "everyone ignores when they do it but when we do it we get called out!" but it's not true. Every colonial country is having their reckoning with this. It's just that Israel's crimes are still very fresh hence why you hear more about it. I would support even more land and resources being given back to the Native Americans but they have almost entirely been genocide'd out, this is what israel wishes they could do with the Palestinians who had their land stolen.

I watched a YouTube video on this. I’ll save you the 20 minutes. Write 100 essays, have AI grade it and give pointers on how to improve. 250 words minimum each then increase to 500+, 2-3 a week. In 6 months you will be much more articulate. This is why the humanities are important. Start writing, it will fix this..

Your own limiting belief. Be open to being wrong.

Leo I basically have found a reasonably sustainable way to build up to where I’d like to be with my travel videos. I work online so I can do digital nomad stuff. Realistically I’d like to make more niche travel content and go to weird places and chase some really interesting stories but I do have to work and do have to be in places with decent internet 5 days a week. So I figure leaning a bit into more popular destinations where I can work from and finding unique and beautiful things, even if they have been explored there’s always stuff going on and interesting stories to lean into. For example I’m going to Thailand next month which has a lot of tourists but there’s also some drama about the place being overrun by tourists so I figure I can do some research and do a documentary on how over tourism is displacing locals and try to find a unique way of showing g the place taking into account the challenges it faces. The whole “paradise lost” thing is really hard to do unless you have a lot of cash to go off the beaten path or are willing to sacrifice your safety like going to dangerous places but there’s creative ways I think to do materialistic stuff and build up to more passion based projects

I’m making travel videos, I’m trying to include useful information and of course make it cinematically beautiful, tell authentic stories but also mix some trends here and there. I figure yoI have to adapt some to what’s popular but it’s also ok to add your own spin some to be different and how you want.

@Leo Gura I read your post on all the ways content creation can lead to living dishonesty. I make videos as well. I make travel videos on YouTube and I’m around 50 away from my first 1000 subs. I used to put great pressure and importance on my videos having to do well and in a subtle sense doubting my spirit if they do not. I’ve done a lot of reflecting and have let go of a lot of these beliefs and expectations, whether or not my channel ever blows up doesn’t define my worth and it definitely doesn’t come before god, but after. I still though do have an authentic desire to create my videos and will continue to do so, with my other responsibilities I have time for about 2 shorts a week clipped from a 1 a month YouTube video. I jsut am not sure I can produce more than that. I did at one point and got 25,000 follower on TikTok this way but it really sort of sucks the passion from it. I realized being authentic and actually making content that I enjoy and is really authentic to me is more important that constantly turning out videos to keep up with the algorithm output and trends. I have a few questions though. What would you say is a good mindset to go about creating videos on YouTube where you can be authentic and passionate and make the content that you want to make, mature and deep content but also still give considerations to the practicalities of the algorithm, some time frames like one video a month, not totally ignoring trends and clicks which are sometimes needed to jsut even get eyes on your work, etc. it’s basically the balance of practical truth with heartfelt truth. How do you balance these two and grow sustainably and authentically? If you wrote a blog post on this I would read it, the last one on traps is pure gold for anyone who wants to make videos for social media.
