Your state is a colonial Occident colony founded by European Jews who lived in Europe for over 800+ years who genocided and displaced the native population like 80 years ago and justify it with a biblical fairytale that is 100% false and does not exist in reality. You have more in common genetically with modern Russians and Germans than you do to any of the people you think you’re related to that entitles you to the land you are on now. Literally where you sit now was land stolen 80 years ago in the nakba and you’ve now killed their grandchildren in Gaza. Of course every country around you (which btw have a historical right to be there) hates you.

The people hyping AI the most are effectively unemployed people who talk about it online a lot and the tech crowd believing their own hype and propaganda, they raise funds with their buddies and the dopamine rush they get from that blinds them of the truth. I can’t say I’ve met anyone with a real job or anyone actually employed having a substantial portion of their work taken over by the AI. They are burning a fuck ton of fresh water just to write their emails a bit faster. All those layoffs are speculation and because we are in a quiet recession on par with 2008. It’s not because AI has actually replaced anyone.

As someone who uses AI in my work, it sure does make a ton of ridiculous errors and some truly odd reasonings. It almost is like a toddler you need to constantly coax and hold it’s hand, it gets exhausting, I don’t feel like I’m working less or am so much more productive. Maybe I am marginally more efficient? This shit is NOT replacing us en masse anytime soon.

Professor Jiang is an interesting guy and I do like him. I don’t think his reasoning is groundbreaking though. A good bit of it is pretty evident. I’ve been hearing about the USA and Israel needing to go to war with Iran for almost 20 years. The issue I have with him is that he’s decent at middle level reasoning but when he tries to scale up his higher orders of reasoning collapse into conspiracy thinking. He hasn’t done consciousness work and he’s caught in a mind trap. He reaches for secret Illuminati groups controlling the world order because he can’t sit comfortably with the reality that human systems are fundamentally chaotic, leaderless and that we live in the unknown. He is unconscious of many other things. People who haven’t done serious consciousness work tend to need the world to make sense at every level, so when their framework can’t explain the chaos, they revert to low quality explanations like hidden hands pulling the strings.

Just sickens me how much Israeli interests have infested congress in the USA. Nothing about that is organic or represents the average voter. I really hope we can tip the scales and cleanse this country of zionism but unfortunately they're really honing in on social media which was one of the places people could become woke on this.

I mean they kinda of aren’t exactly against this …. Dems are basically keeping their heads low and letting trump do the dirty work but most of them are Zionist funded and support Israel. Only the progressive lot like Bernie have spoken out against bombing Iran. Really the Bernie camp are just too developed for the rest of the country.

I do agree, it’s image as a premier destination is hurt by this. I don’t think it will lead to the city becoming redundant or anything like that.

pathetic, they are completely unable to reign in Israel

I've always been against any sort of strikes on Iran. Trump said he set their nuclear program back by a decade the last time he bombed Iran with Israel. So I'm completely unsold on this and was even when the USA started getting involved. It's a ploy that authoritarians tend to try in order to try and drum up domestic support and test the powers of overstepping congress, but this is NOT Venezuela. We've already seen what Russian can do to a neighboring country by just launching missiles everyday at it. Imagine now this lasting for months with Iran launching shit at the Gulf and Israel everyday. Only way to stop that is boots on the ground which Trump hasn't ruled out. Iranian citizens have no power to overthrow their government and the regime is nothing but hardliners. I'm hearing some of the gulf countries only have days left of air defense.

Definitely a blow to the image of Dubai as a safe eclectic modern take on islamic rule in the middle east. In reality I doubt it will substantially run out all investment and development. I do think people will be a bit more sober about the place now.

Did Trump think this was gonna be like Venezuela or something? I don't see na offramp here and yeah, not sure regime change is imminent. Iran has a ton of those Shahed drones that cost like $35,000 to make and it costs like $500k+ to fire them down, plus air defense are difficult to replenish. The gulf states are getting pummeled. What a mess this is turning into.

I laughed To be honest I don't really care about this issue anymore. It's largely a problem for incels and red pill guys who are getting scammed by the influencers they look up to... if you haven't made the cut.. idk what to tell ya. Life doesn't guarantee you get a girl. I wish I was born a few inches taller and a little bit bigger, oh well... People are trying to understand men. I think they will ultimately realize this is a problem really only men have to solve because 1) women largely don't care, they are fine sharing men and most are fine being cat ladies, they hold the power and it's not something they are all that affected by 2) it is a problem largely created by men who refuse to adapt and instead would retreat into their twitch.tv lifestyle. I feel bad for a lot of guys who don't have a lifeline, I hope and wish the ones with softer hearts find the information they need to rise above all the self limiting lies and whatnot. Seems like most guys are are too black or red pilled at this point and I can't say it's as big a deal as it's made out to be... the world is already overcrowded... we will see.

Massive news. This is much bigger than when Assad was ousted by rebels. But also let the dust settle. Everyone wants to make their prediction but the truth is no one knows what will happen. As I understand Iran has a pretty nuanced line of succession (up to 4 backup plans) and their government has been designed and prepared for decades specifically for if this were to happen. Boots on the ground I think would be the only way to actually topple Iran's revolutionary guard and supreme leader. They're going to elect another one and continue their nuclear program.

Sure. By do your best I simply mean you need to check your belief system and see in what ways you are self sabotaging yourself. Do you believe you are worthy of success? Do you hold back because you second guess everything you do? Are you putting energy into what is important and not into what isn’t? What’s keeping you from just showing up every day and making clear and balanced decisions form the information you have in any given moment? I would say simply cutting out a lot of self sabotage, taking responsibility and getting clear on what you wish to put energy into will put you on the path that’s authentic for you. Few things in life are a linear path and much of what we do is a learning process, we weren’t born with an instruction manual for every possible situation and thing we will encounter in life. Success is defined by you , and when you have defined that put energy into what you know is right and true in the present moment that aligns with what you believe is success.

You have to align with the universe / reality and get very open to things unfolding as they are. There are a million influencer types all marketing to men more or less what you wanna do (help them with fitness, making quick cash, get girls, escaping the matrix, etc). Set your intentions and go with the flow without any instance or expectation for how things should turn out. Notice what you do throughout the day when you’re really in your flow. To be honest I’ve come to realize there are really no secrets when it comes to this. You set your intentions, put energy into what you want to and try your best to live as authentically as possible (middle way). Stay conscious and responsible. Things will unfold how they unfold.

Be careful with this label "narcissist." It categorizes other people according to your bias because you don't like how they treated you. this person probably did make some mistakes and had some emotional imbalances. that label though keeps you from seeing the bigger picture and puts you in a victim mindset where this other person is the bad guy and you are the victim. on top of that you may see them as a "narcissist" but what about the people who saw them as a saint? placing pathologies keeps you stuck in labeling and playing victim instead of recognizing the behavior you wont tolerate in your life and simply moving on with the information you have about how a person treated you, no labels needed.

LOL, this is not even comparable. Men are so delusional and lost.

I see your points, several of them are interesting. I think the one claim you make I’m skeptical of though is around the opportunity cost of it all. Creating a startup vs doing what you’re saying. The opportunity cost is huge either way. You’re basically telling him to become a software engineer, which is incredibly competitive now. And what do you think all those guys who got laid off are doing? Every corner of software has tremendous competition. I think if OP wants work that’s basically a means to an end to get ONLINE there’s easier skills you can learn to get working online quicker.

Love

From my understanding this field is incredibly flooded and it’s actually a huge time sink for most. Basically AI wrappers, agents and software are the new .com bubble and most people are gonna be left holding the bag. You have a better chance of learning a trade and getting rich that way over anything to do with AI tech unless you are an elite level engineer + entrepreneur. If you’re willing to put 5-8+ years into this, and have tremendous passion for what you’re doing it could be worth it but most people are starving after 1-2 and move on. It’s really such an abstract idea that even most people I’ve met doing stuff like this can’t even clear explain what they’re doing and seem uncertain it will earn them money. ChatGPT itself doesn’t even make a profit.

I'm all for funding Taiwan's military then. Any country that chooses war instead of diplomacy I hope has plenty of pushback. Taiwan does not pose an existential threat to mainland China existing as a separate state and country now. Russia has a slightly stronger argument with not wanting Ukraine to join NATO but Taiwan poses almost no geographic military or economic threat to China.

You can use the same reductive questioning to diminish anything. In what way is consciousness work even important? Just the fact you saw some lights and changed states sometimes and had some mystical stuff happen? What are you even trying to solve? Aren't you just making problems for yourself by chasing something that's already here and now? You're already in heaven so what's the point? You only see barriers in having kids so of course it's going to limit you if you view it that way. Maybe there is a deeper cultural pressure to have kids on you for a reason? I'm not saying you should have kids I'm just sparking discussion. I think it comes down if it's authentic for you and you see value in it (I do). Distractions and challenges aren't always viewed as problems by me and I don't see children as such a huge hurdle as you do.

Twitch tv viewers finding out that losing weight, getting in shape, being well kept and wearing something other than rags for clothes improves their overall chances with women This whole trend literally started on a video game streaming site….

I’m leaning more towards one child in my late 30s to very early 40s. Because I believe naturally there is something right about having a child. It is such a fundamental thing. Nature doesn’t lie. My parents had me. I am authentically drawn to having a child as well. I believe having a child is a stage of life and it opens up a richer experience in life. It’s a responsibility for sure. I don’t believe kids are jsut some hinderance that distracts. Many of the most successful creatives had kids before making their best work. Many said it deepened their spirituality. I definitely wouldn’t go into it blind though, plan, be responsible. If it doesn’t work out it’s also ok. You don’t have to have kids and I don’t thing people who choose to not have kids missed out. It’s just different paths.

You wanna reach the top of the mountain but aren’t responsible to figure out the best way for yourself to the top so you put all your trust into a guide but then when following them you realize you’re half way up without a harness. Slowly and carefully climb down. There’s 100 other ways to get to the top. Maybe put a harness on and go back up? Start following your own path and making choices that are right for you.
