@Leo Gura Can I share another perspective? 1. The human brain DOES require a ton of data. Think of all the terabytes of sensory input we went through as a baby and child. 2. LLMs CAN indeed learn without billions of data points!!! It's called in-context learning. If you showed GPT a picture of a new kind of animal, then later on gave it a multiple choice question asking it to pick out the new animal, it'll get it right. In-context learning is obviously limited but the point is, it exists. Google's Gemini managed to learn an entire language through in-context learning, it was given a dictionary + grammar rules.

What do you think of people who say they use precognition to make stock market money? Lol In a Dean Radin book I heard of a guy who would think of a dog if a given stock went up and a cat if it went down.

AGI could be the catalyst that develops us out of capitalism, don't you think?

Let me be honest by saying I have procrastinated doing game for years and years. Around a month ago I finally got into it, started doing some daygame approaches by attending a weekly wing meetup. Someone there really pushed me and made me approach a bunch of women for the first time (first time properly approaching). I honestly felt amazing that day. I started planning how much pickup I was gonna do every week. But then I somehow psyched myself out of doing it by saying I was too tired, thinking about all the cringe I'd experience, and now I'm back in a complete rut. I feel like I'm back to square one. Not exactly sure why I wanted to make this post, but here we are.

I struggle with this too man. Try picking just one topic to focus on and take daily action toward that goal. Start small. What do you want at the moment?

Fucking do it. Do a full on retreat, the worst that can happen is that you lose a few days of your life. When an opportunity comes right in front of you like that, it's your sign to do it. From my experience, if you're not decisive about something like this, you'll end up not doing anything about it lol. How did this start?

I heard the medicine sometimes stops you from breaking through. You could also have a high genetic tolerance. Have you broken through on other chemicals?

What are the most incomprehensible horrors you experienced? You should totally make some blog posts about this... if you think we can handle it

Lately I've been living alone and depression and loneliness has ramped up for me. Which is a shame because that's the exact opposite of what I need for my main goal in life at the moment, which is to do a lot of socialising and pickup - the depression really gets in the way of that. Therefore I've been thinking about doing talk therapy. What are you guys' thoughts and experiences with talk therapy? And should I do talk therapy or life coaching? From my understanding, therapy is more about going from dysfunctional to functional, whereas coaching is more about going from functional to mastery. I'm definitely in the first case for now LOL.

How are you supposed to balance day job, sleep and going out 2-4 nights per week? If I go out once, it fucks up my entire sleep schedule for the rest of the week lol. Can't fall asleep till 4AM etc. And then I have a very depressed mood throughout the day, not really progressing my life goals etc. My question is HOW DID YALL HANDLE SLEEP WHEN GOING OUT A TON? Should I come home early (1 am or so) or just bite the bullet and have delayed sleep every day? Does this get easier over time?

100%. 1 hour is only like 2 approaches though lol. What are you getting at?

You don't need any study to know that

Do you have experience with this? Probably sounds like the best option here if it works

UK actualizers, what do you hope for with a Labour government? Starmer is uninspiring but maybe with a strong Labour win they'll be able to achieve something. Live tracking: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2024/jul/04/uk-general-election-results-2024-live-in-full

Thats funny I'm grinding for software engineering too. I'm in London.

Try to do physical openers on the dance floor. Nothing to lose since you haven't built up any sort of vibe. Use your sexual energy to your advantage. Think "I want to fuck you"

Great question. A lot of bickering and bullshit on this forum. It seems some of the mods are self actualising, as well as a few others. Just keep your eyes peeled, you can usually tell who's serious. Btw, when you can't pick between two self development paths, choose the one that is lower on the hierarchy of needs.

Studying stage green in general should be enough, you disagree?

Leo sir, how much did you go out while also working full time? And what was the DG / NG split?

You should have tried to get help & support from parents etc (you still can). Maybe your culture didn't allow for it though. Is there anything available on meetup.com? Meditation group maybe? Any ideas for what action you can take which involves interacting with others?

Why should I pay hundreds of dollars for a bunch of videos and virtual exercises?

I can easily get psychedelics, but I have no opportunity to actually use them. I live at home, meaning I can't use psychedelics with family around. Solo tripping doesn't work well for me at this stage of my life, and I don't have anyone I trust enough to trip with either. I might just bite the bullet and trip with family or alone. Any ideas?

^ Instructions v Three rounds guided breathing

Wim Hof breathing / Leo's Shamanic breathing video / holotropic breathing. These are all similar. They work very well for ADHD mind. You can't even think about anything else because the breathing is quite intense.

I appreciate it can be annoying when people try to insult your path. However, you should realize that you don't need to share anything about personal development to anyone. It's EXTREMELY rare to find people who are genuinely interested in personal development.
