Definitely. I notice the effect in myself & in others. I consciously had to focus on my accountability as a way to better my own behaviour online. I used to be a pretty bad internet troll.

Nothing inferior, just made up.

Under the guise of anonymity, accountability is often reduced. It can make people act against their own values.... I sometimes wonder whether that means those values were never truly internalized in the first place. What we do when others are not looking can communicate a lot about character.

Do we expect poo?

I don't generally take advice from those whose lives I wouldn't want to live. Which isn't the same as saying all his advice is trash. His older stuff is much better. Red pill stuff just gets more clicks. Orion has been burned by women. I think he has turned slightly jaded. Which happens. It's usually the dudes who (previously or still do) love & adore women the most who end up in red pill resentment land. A lot of his rationalisations are cope for the above.

Yep. I am typically using search engines for hard evidence or facts. Or cross referencing a large body of sources to get to the closest consensus. AI can get in the way. And does. When I go out to buy a bagel I want a bagel. Not a custard block. I don't appreciate being told the custrdr block is the bagel I asked for.

AI slop now. Thank riddence I binned google as a search engine over a year ago. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/

@Joshe don't waste you efforts. I don't have any issues thinking in such ways. I just pointed out you were essentially making up numbers because you didn't actually pull from a source.

@bazera yeah ideally that's a growth mindset match, compatibility wise. I love seeing parters who grow together 🥰 Taking someone on as a project is something else. Reminds me of women who parter up with men and the whole time want to change them. Or fall for potential.

It's can be a big trap to pick someone for potential. Making your partner a project or trying to change someone can backfire in a big way. If someone wants to grow - hell yeah. But making partners a project... Hmmmm.

Regardless of her other content I thought it was accurate regarding Orion. I just wish he dropped the toxic crap so I didn't have to sit through the turd parts of his videos.

I don't quite understand what is being said. Biolabs aren't a secret? I fit one out last year for a hospital. Although it was depressing as shit and stunk.

Wow. Just wow. Wanting to float by in life on some sort of perceived privilege? -1000 pts

My ability serve others, my dog & my blessed health & energy

Teaching metacognition. In particular: Metacognitive knowledge - understanding how our own minds work, what we are good or bad at, learning strategies that work for us, recognising bias etc Metacognitive regulation - managing thinking in real time, planning, monitoring, evaluating etc The above two applied to thinking AND feeling.

@LordFall AI integration being pushed, pulling up lower quality and narrower search results, as well as now having to vet more information, isn't enough? It is like citing Wikipedia as a source. I don't think you are using search engines in the same way I do. If you are using them for surface general stuff, and you actually use AI spat out from them, I do not think you are using them as the tool I am. It's like I'm reaching for a nailgun, and suddenly I am being given a hammer and told its the same thing. Notice I didn't add some mild and weird hominem attack you to try to make a point. You took my critique as some sort of overall statement regarding AI (which I use, and think is great, just not when it is forced or supplants something else IE Google search - which generally tells me you just reacted without really thinking). In addition - please don't feed my image into AI generators. I would appreciate you not doing that. It. Is. Forced. Slop. The. End. Good. Day.

It has. I've probably been using google a lot longer than you. Stop trying to push your anti AI agenda rhetoric on me in place of actually thinking about the question. I'm not anti AI. I don't run around accusing you of being obsessed with AI. Or implying it's blinding you etc.

@LordFall how has it changed?

Like a true chameleon 😎

I consider myself an ambivert.

Possibly to expand on the above definition to encapsulate more: "Intelligence is the capacity to build accurate models of reality, and use those models to achieve goals across set of diverse domains" Which is sort of all the parts of my deconstructed and simplified definition above is getting at.

@StaraX I've never thought on it. I suppose I would define intelligence as the ability to learn, understand, reason, adapt, and solve problems across a wide range of situations (not limited to this). I don't believe IQ is a good measure of intelligence (or a measure of it in it's totality, at all). If that is Jordan Peterson's definition and conclusions regarding IQ / intelligence I would not adopt it, personally. It sounds like a limiting frame. I generally think emotional health, relationships, and meaning are much stronger determinants of a happy life. Intelligence would have a much weaker positive correlation comparitively - I personally haven't seen it, or been able to detect it. How about yourself?

What would be the point in even broadcasting it? All the cards are laid bare with the intent to do so alone.

I too did a lot of research. MND is idiopathic in nature, but there is some genetic causes also, I believe? One pattern we came across was pesticides. My aunt grew up in an area of Australia (farming and agriculture) that has a large quantity of cases of MND in a small locale. Farmland. The hospitals noticed the large volume of cases from the one area and a small information, research and support group was founded. They are currently doing investigation but it is suspected agricultural pesticides may be a contributing factor. My aunt swam every day in the rivers in the area.... diagnosed with MND after a lot of confusion and misdiagnosis for 16months. She is 70 years old.

I never laboured under the assumption I was.
