@Leo Gura you can but it takes a lot of strategy and effort https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/myprojects/mit-challenge-2/ This guy did the entire MIT comp sci curriculum at home. He found all courses and projects that were adjacent, and he passed all of mits online exams all under a year (from scratch) It takes a very ambitious person though to put together a high quality strategy and follow through

Such a great video. It's so easy to convince yourself that you're really growing but really you're not. It's one of his best imo

It could be potentially, but $4k does seem steep for this kind of service I'd imagine you could replicate the format for much cheaper. With good mentors/friends, meetups that target social anxiety specifically (have seen them on meetup.com), coaches that charge maybe $75-$200 hr, lower paid groups etc. Also while intensity for 3 days potentially can have a lot of benefit, sustained progress over weeks can also be really useful too (like maybe 10h a week in practice)

for me it's pretty simple, i just write down what i need to accomplish for the next day (top 3 tasks). it makes it easier in the morning bc it sets direction for me immediately

I actually enjoy onenote more personally. I tried notion for a year or so and I actually ended up enjoying onenotes prebuilt structure (whereas notion you kind of need to design you own) and moved everything back a few months ago I basically only use it for storage (like notes, insights, resources etc.) though

Yeah but at the same time, so does everyone else. It increases the skill needed to be competitive when everyone has access to the tools

Okay never say never, america has grown a ton throughout its 300y history. At the rate it's growing, we might have that, in 300 more Why so pessimistic!! I do agree it is very hard for society to evolve though. Humanity repeats a lot of its errors repeatedly. But it's definitely trending upward Also consider, gen z is 30-40% progressive! Imagine gen alpha, and gen z's kids (whatever is after alpha). We are progressing!!

Yeah I can totally see the moral judgement on people who have privilege, prevents people from actually acknowledging their privilege The word "privileged" has too much negative weight (at least the way we use it), and people who have some privilege don't like acknowledging it because of the negative moral weight that is kept on them I think that's one of the problem with the left. The left demonizes men, straight and white people and it actually hurts the cause because it paints them as evil and people get offended and defensive. I think this is one of the main reasons why a lot of people push toward the right, because of the demonization from the left. I know it happened to Elon Musk and Joe rogan One of the main motivations for people that want trump or the right to win, is to 'stick it to the libs'. Which is reactionary to the left's demonization i've had times of wanting to go right because of how men were being shit on and being painted as evil by the public and the left Lol. but luckily im slightly more intelligent than that. but the trap is real. i'm also brown so i know many of the social issues are legit so I can empathize

I agree with your points that we need high conscious ppl in control but the solution is def not no censorship. Think about the implications of that Threats of violence, coercing ppl to commit suicide, organizing terrorist attacks, nazi propaganda Etc. Etc. Like imagine we couldn't censor ppl for giving out nuke codes lol

@Buck Edwards you literally called Tommy robinson, head of an anti brown fascist group (literally), your hero (literally). Maybe those accusations are right. Just a little? 🤔

@Buck Edwards Weak attempt at a gaslight. This is your nth negative post about brown people

@Buck Edwards how do you feel about indians? Write them down. Those are your projections

Bro got more compassion for the elephants in india than the actual people in india Also consider you've contributed to tens of thousands of animal deaths in your lifetime. Lots of people would consider that a universal ethical violation. India also has the highest % of vegetarians in the world. Maybe you could learn some things from them about treating animals

Is it always the case that not being normal is bad? Or no

@NightHawkBuzz forcing people to be gay is a lot rarer than you think

@mattm33 yeah it's impossible to be anti lgtbq and be dem, esp with the policies like banning gay adoption and gay marriage. It's legit a cornerstone of the dems policies right now. I'm not too sure you can even win republican anymore with that agenda either (?).

I'm curious about the mind going blank part. Maybe your expectations are too high that it leaves you paralyzed? Maybe lowering the bar to saying what you feel comfortable with explaining might be helpful

Yeah maybe it's like an exploration process where you get more attuned to your sexuality Like I've seen some girls be into girls for some time, then only guys then back to girls

I feel like your preferences are influenced by things like cultural conditioning & personal ideology. They def change for a lot of people

I think the civil rights movement in the 50s - 70s could arguably be considered even more polarized than today

he was recently convicted for sexual abuse against jean carroll lol. the judge said it meets some definitions of rape but not the narrow definition used in NY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Jean_Carroll_v._Donald_J._Trump#:~:text=A jury verdict in May,and made an unsuccessful counterclaim. 'Conclusion While the jury did not find Trump liable for "rape" under the specific legal definition used in the trial, the judge clarified that the conduct the jury found Trump liable for would be considered rape in common modern parlance. The judge stated that it is "substantially true" that Trump raped Carroll in the broader sense of the term.' he just loves our women

Yeah good point. There's def a lot of projections of inferiority judgements onto Muslims. Lots of generalizations and negative stereotypes Like one being "inherently incapable of assimilating" And then burning mosques is like "hate" I think this is fascism I think

Does Tommy robinsons actions resemble nazism? "The actions and statements of Tommy Robinson, as described in your query, show a pattern of targeting Muslims and promoting Islamophobic ideas. While these actions and rhetoric are indicative of extreme right-wing and xenophobic views, whether they resemble Nazism is more complex and depends on the specific aspects being compared. **Similarities to Nazism:** 1. **Scapegoating and Dehumanization**: Robinson's rhetoric often involves portraying Muslims as a monolithic threat, similar to how Nazis scapegoated Jews and other minorities. The dehumanization of Muslims, by calling Islam a "disease" or promoting the idea of a "Muslim invasion," echoes Nazi propaganda that dehumanized Jews and depicted them as a threat to society. 2. **Violent Rhetoric**: The violent chants at EDL rallies, such as "Burn the mosque!" can be compared to the violent anti-Semitic chants and actions encouraged by the Nazis, particularly in the early years before they took full power. 3. **Anti-Immigration and Ethnic Purity**: Robinson's calls to ban Muslim immigration and his belief that Muslims cannot assimilate into European culture can be seen as resembling Nazi ideas of ethnic purity and the exclusion of those they considered "undesirable" from their vision of a homogeneous society. **Differences from Nazism:** 1. **Ideological Foundation**: Nazism was based on a specific ideology of racial purity, Aryan supremacy, and a totalitarian state. Robinson's views, while extreme, are more focused on anti-Islam sentiment and do not encompass the full breadth of Nazi ideology, particularly its focus on racial hierarchy and genocide. 2. **State Power and Genocide**: The Nazis, when in power, implemented systematic genocide (the Holocaust) and other crimes against humanity. While Robinson's rhetoric is dangerous and promotes violence, it does not directly call for or carry out genocide, nor does he have state power to implement such policies. In summary, while there are parallels in the scapegoating, dehumanization, and extreme rhetoric used by Tommy Robinson and Nazi propaganda, it is important to recognize the distinct historical and ideological contexts. Robinson's actions and views share similarities with broader far-right and xenophobic movements, but Nazism specifically was a unique and extreme form of racial totalitarianism that led to the Holocaust." This was interesting to read. Initally i thought tommy's ideology was at the same level as nazis but i was def ignorant. Interesting to see the resemblences. But that being said, if culture didn't push back on him, how far would he go?

Books are good but working with and learning from them directly is probably higher RoI. But both have their place

Yep, anti-muslim sentiment, policy, hate crimes, prejudice etc. is common all across Europe You know how crazy it is if that's true? Like you said that *half* the continent holds a bigoted ideology toward a minority Sounds like deep systemic discrimination to me One interesting thing ik is that France actually banned muslim women from wearing burqas. That was crazy to me. Like imagine you banned Jewish people from wearing a Yamaka. That sounds oppressive af
