@SwiftQuill a lot of right wing parties around the world are gleaning from trumps playbook because it was shown to work here, that's why I mentioned trump

when you gauge the success of their policies in your country over the next few years make sure to use very high quality external sources. if they are like trump, they will say they are "winning" regardless of how bad they are doing, so be careful of getting the data from the party themselves, it will be very biased.

Isnt this better correlated with more conservative cultures, in general? I'm sure there are better explanations for women covering up than it being due to having more rapists

I agree with aurum here. You might have to gently nudge them in the right direction. Like bring up a small contemplative question and see how they respond It seems more of a emotional & social approach

Scotthyoung has a lot of techniques on learning languages. he teaches a lot on the meta of learning how to learn but has good info on language learning specifically as well

@Rishabh R congrats!!!!!!!

how would you utilize 7 habits so that it benefits your life?

fr? which study are you referring to id imagine race/sex plays a significant factor as an initial assumption

i always hear stuff about the competing in women's sports thing and 80 genders and stuff but idk how central to the movement that is? it's a very small aspect from my vantage point, like <1% of lgtbq issues in general? like i only ever hear it from right-wing people making fun of lgtbq issues. it's such a small thing. i think there were only a handful of athletes or something? i forget the number, like in the NCAA for example, there are 500,000 athletes and 10 of them were trans lmao. that's .002% of athletes lmao, close to 0 i don't know the issue here actually, it seems like propoganda used to create division and problems for political power

isn't that just a trauma response lol

According to him, his youtube channel is a funnel for finding business to invest in. His main business is investing in other businesses - i think he has a portfolio of like 20 companies if i remember correctly. He doesn't sell marketing courses

The right plays identity politics though. Elon musks twitter feed has a ton of propoganda about how white people are oppressed. Like right wing is pro white, straight and pro men. Id be okay with that but it also veers into anti immigrant and anti minority, anti lgtbq and anti women But that's just the nature of right wingers right? If they were pro the latter stuff they wouldn't be right wing

Awesome realization I had something similar this year 😂😂

The opposite is also true If self development goes spiritual then it goes manic/horrifying Ive seen it happen first hand to someone ik

@Leo Gura whats his motive? Is he just dumb or is it sinister?

it has too much power and has the potential to be a dangerous force bc of its power. currently its exerting a lot of pressure onto politics

yeah the current models have improved significantly actually im surprised. like compared to when gpt3.5 came out and now it's a world of difference. still maybe 2-3 years to go but it's definitely not useless anymore like it was when it first came out

all the soft skills you learn will be used at the very least. networking and group-work, study strategies like prioritization or time management, problem solving and critical thinking. the degree and gpa also highly contribute to a good future as well. so what you're doing right now is extremely critical for a good future. and some technical information you learn, will be used in the real world as well. some classes more than others, but some - a lot of it will come up again. you can also find ways to make the process enjoyable. for example, you can use the classes as an opportunity to teach it to others and help others (which is a valuable skill and also a form of active learning (Feynman method) so will help you on exams). or you can challenge yourself to develop your productivity skills, which is a non-negotiable skill for life. also drawing on your big picture goal through visualization and contemplation can generate motivation which you should continuously recall

I'm dipping lol

the andrew tate thing was interesting. i think that's part of their purpose to weaken the left. if voices like tate run around, it makes it harder for the left to fight back and gets the alt-right a stronger voice

trump running it down mid

the next paradigm relative to the current one (evolution essentially) for example, addressing issues that come with climate change and making initiatives to switch to clean energy. society was focused on industrial advancement, at the cost of the environment, and then 'woke' would be noticing the issues of that and addressing it

i get the same thing. strange how it works. socializing feels like eating food. i faintly remember studies that show that loneliness is actually deadlier than smoking in the long-run?

Musk Says He’ll Rehire DOGE’s Marko Elez After Racist Posts https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2025/02/07/musk-says-hell-rehire-doges-marko-elez-after-racist-posts-heres-what-to-know-about-agency/ one of his employees made extremely racist comments about indians which went viral. he resigned after the news and musk rehired him. some comments "Normalize indian hate", supported repealing the civil rights movement, eugenics, and more

@LambdaDelta yeah and adding onto this i found that using mindfulness and cbt techniques very valuable. they help ease the mind in social situations. i've also noticed though that there are many modalities that can help, so doesn't necessarily need to be mindfulness/cbt on top of this also i noticed that self-esteem work can be important too, as sometimes we may have some negative inner beliefs that affect our social competence. so those definitely need to be challenged and replaced. having good self-esteem can actually aid in your comfort in social situations also consider the ethics and "goodness" aspect of socializing. like having integrity, being good, having EQ and empathy. social skills is actually a huge topic. i find it very interesting how large it is
