@Leo Gura But Leo!

The blog is priceless. I haven’t watched a video for maybe a few years now— but I check the blog everyday haha. Edit: Also not downplaying the videos. Between the age of 14-20 I probably watched 1-3 a day.

Your chaos is calm and workable. I wish you the best.

@Husseinisdoingfine That study is from 1986 and focuses on ‘Physical Quality of Life’ (PQL)—not sustainability. The ‘socialist’ countries praised include China, the USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea. Here’s the reality: China is now capitalist. The USSR collapsed. Cuba is limping along and only functioning with limited market reforms. Vietnam only succeeded by going capitalist. North Korea? Sure, maybe their PQL is great—if you ignore the gulags. PQL is like buying a car for the comfy seats without noticing there’s no engine. It’s a snapshot, not a blueprint. It doesn’t answer the real question: Who’s going to pay for all this PQL? And the answer, in almost every case, is capitalism. Socialism is a product of capitalism.

@Yimpa Him saying that is toasted into my skull. I’m glad someone else remembers.

It was such a perfect video to be released and then taken down. I don’t know if that was Leo’s intent or if he just decided to go a different route-

@Hardkill He could. The catch is his stocks might dip as well. Even if they do not, he’d be giving up leverage over his company or companies, it’s a bad look and might cause further sell offs. Musk has intertwined himself so deep into his companies. For better or worse, his fate is their’s. Because he owns and operates such a large portion of their stock and boards, the companies own him too. Taking from one is like choosing a favorite child. I guess Elon has problems there too though .

Just jumping into the convo— per title— and the ‘Pivot’ podcast (specifically Scott) mentioned now might be the time to actually short Tesla. The board is in arms. GM or another should be able to eat their lunch any minute now. Musk will likely gain artificial stock boosts by consolidating Tesla into an AI company, like he did with X— but frankly, I don’t see the stock doing anything terrific, big picture. I am not an Investor. This is not advice. Here is the podcast.

@Breakingthewall That was your choice. You are asking me for positivity and answers instead of claiming them yourself. And then you blame me when it doesn’t land. If you don’t wanna feel condescended, then don’t put yourself in a position where you outsource your answers and positivity from other people. if you’re gonna ask for things or engage, you should at least ask yourself what you expected and not blame the people trying to help.

@Breakingthewall The good news is you are immortal. Life and Death are an illusion. This conversation and every other bump in the road is all just apart of an endless journey of your own imagination. Do not beat yourself up. Try to see the bigger picture. That’s as positive as it gets. Right now is the best it gets. Try to see that, in all moments, if you can. I am being quite neutral, in the grand scheme of things, really. Reality has a beauty of which is inconceivable. I see it in everything. The catch is, I can’t see it without pain. I’m not trying to be negative. I’m trying to be honest. And honestly, figuring out of this stuff out doesn’t feel good. It feels negative. It’s not easy. It’ll make you go insane. But it’s also pure fulfillment. I know that’s maybe not the exact answer you want to hear. But sometimes answers aren’t attached to our expectation of an outcome’s positive or negative connotation. And again all I’m doing here is talking about life and death— per the topic. If you want pure positivity from me, maybe we should DM— talk about interests, get to know each other. If I knew you in person, I’d ask you about your day, get you dinner, be a friend, etc. This forum is more of a neutral ‘battleground of ideas’ to me. I very much appreciated Leo’s bluntness when I first got into this work. I understand that might not be why everyone is here. I empathize when Leo says he’s trying to have a softer approach, though. I’m better at that in person. Far from perfect though.

@Breakingthewall I know it’s not. You are being hostile. I am being harsh. I have no desire in making people look stupid. But I will tell someone if they’re wrong. Please don’t name call and approach me in bad faith because you don’t like my approach— and then gaslight me into thinking I have some devil vendetta. Everything I’ve been talking about here has been about ‘ life and death.’ I don’t care about you guys. Some of the things were clever. Entirely helpful? Not necessarily. But contributing and arguably clever. You mentioned that. 💕 You are not displaying kindness. I’m not being negative.

@Breakingthewall Are you just here to throw fits and insult people or do you actually have an interest in answers? You already said I was unbearable. If these conversations are hard for you to grapple with maybe you should reconsider them. I am harsh, but I am not hostile.

@Breakingthewall Okay— you people waste time talking about Life and Death— made up concepts. You act like you want answers or even care but whine for entertainment because that’s what you really want. You want someone to throw fit. To make you feel alive. Through words. Through sound. Though this or that. And when someone does increase engagement— as I have— then you cower. Call names, reference egos, etc. A minority of this conversation actually cared for clarity. The rest— clueless. Is this what you want to hear? That you’re wasting time? Life and death may as well be bread and ass to me. It is meaningless. It is a waste of time. You’re fucking immortal. Take care of your human. Go.

Everybody wants interesting. Reality is not interesting. —I guess —fine

Sorry, I didn’t fit. 💁🏻‍♀️🙅‍♂️ You admit to your own assumptions. Focus on what you know. You. You. Some people do not even consider You after death. But you do consider it. Interesting. Do you know why?
