Just watch out what I'll make Leo do using my lofty 3D modeling/animation skills 😁

Excellent question. A life purpose is of course a choice informed by one's intuitive drives, it's got lots of room for expression, we are simply too caught up in specialization. An artist can be simultaneously a craftsman, an architect, a visionary, a storyteller, a musician, a designer, a developer, and so forth. An engineer learns from living systems (biology), laws of nature exerting force on structures (physics), styles of artistic expression (architectural movements), psychology (interior design), material used (chemistry) etc. Any given area is infinitely contextualizable, there are still overarching drives, but from all of these, paths fractal outwards and grow as they interact with others holistically. As we automate away most tasks with AI, we will shift towards more diversified jobs, though AI may make them obsolete before even they attain new relevance. I am sure, in a healthy society, everyone would find their LP expressed, but when there is such strong pressure on conformity, efficiency, and specialization, it makes it all very difficult to go against the herd and express the innate tendencies within us, which are how any new technological revolution and paradigm-expansion takes place, by connecting disparate areas and pioneering new grounds, instead we have 99.99% of the population serving as robotic contraptions, repeating the same mechanical movements, over and over and over again.

𝕊 = Shame (internal inadequacy) 𝕀 = Insistence (assertion of value as a response) 𝔹 = Bragging (outward compensation for insecurity) 𝕆 = Overcompensation (exaggeration of worth) 𝔽 = Fitting (desire to conform to societal standards) 𝕍ₑₓₜ = External value (social status, recognition) 𝕍ᵢₙₜ = Internal value (intrinsic self-worth) These variables interact within a feedback loop that shapes self-worth (W). The equation of self-worth can be expressed as a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, with the influence of shame and compensatory behaviors contributing to distortions. 𝕎 = (𝕍ᵢₙₜ + α𝕍ₑₓₜ) − (𝕊 + β𝕀 + γ𝔹 + δ𝕆) + ε𝔽 Breakdown of Terms: 𝕎 (Self-Worth) = Overall self-perception of value. 𝕍ᵢₙₜ (Intrinsic Value) = Core self-worth based on authentic internal qualities (e.g., values, integrity, emotional resilience). 𝕍ₑₓₜ = Value derived from social status, recognition, achievements (subject to social metrics). α: The weight of external validation (higher if self-worth is overly dependent on social status). 𝕊 (Shame) = Internal sense of inadequacy or unworthiness. 𝕀 (Insistence) = Effort to assert or demand recognition of value, increasing as shame grows. β: The degree to which insistence reduces or masks shame. 𝔹 (Bragging) = Expression of overinflated worth, driven by shame. γ: The extent of distortion in self-worth due to bragging (can either inflate self-perception or reflect insecurity). 𝕆 (Overcompensation) = The degree to which an individual overstates their value to counteract shame. δ: Amplifies the disconnection between intrinsic self-worth and the exaggerated projection of value. 𝔽 (Fitting) = The drive to conform to social standards or fit in. It can either elevate self-worth by enhancing social cohesion or lead to further disconnection from intrinsic value. ε: Represents the influence of social conformity on the balance between external and internal self-worth. Observations: High Shame (𝕊) increases the need for Insistence (𝕀), Bragging (𝔹), and Overcompensation (𝕆), which distorts self-worth by shifting the focus toward external validation. The balance between Intrinsic Value (𝕍ᵢₙₜ) and External Value (𝕍ₑₓₜ) determines the stability of self-worth. When external validation (𝕍ₑₓₜ) is overly weighted (high α), self-worth becomes fragile and more dependent on social metrics. The drive to Fit (𝔽) can either mitigate shame or exacerbate it, depending on whether it leads to genuine social connection or a superficial adherence to societal expectations.

According to my extensive research in human behavior, the concept of a "body count" serves as a collective currency utilized to regulate self-esteem among peers. This phenomenon is perceived as quite "objective" within specific male demographic subgroups of the species. It's somewhat confusing to observe this type of instinctive pattern within a species capable of higher cognition and extensive self-awareness and I've yet to find a suitable explanation.

Somebody's really invested in rationalizing their predicament, oh well...

Largely a projection of one's specific sex drive, whose focus, fulfillment, and expression modulate instinctive reactions. Not unlike any other activity and feeling, dependent upon the infrastructure you build consciously or subconsciously.

I guess maximizing potential minimizes regrets, leading to a state of mind which exponentiates returns.

@pausona I was in your State of Consciousness before, it's explosively mind-expansive but also unstable. Once you flow out of it, there will be a Pendulum of Integration waiting for you, a spiral into the next stage. There are Levels of Reality, between Imagination and Actualization, you're tuning between the frequencies. This stage has an intense sense of urgency, you have to slow down and make it part of your baseline instead. As a wise psychonaut once said: "Everything is everything is everything is everything"

Transcending the desire for answers will dissolve the spiritual duality.

The x-axis is the infinite variety of experiences. The y-axis is the intensity of your awareness. Your focus lends specific experiences significance. And it tunes you out of all other types of experiences. Consciousness seeks out experiences this way. Everything is potential, and focus makes it actual. https://youtu.be/mk2eBDK8sc4?si=3I264pLFzI6n2eSi&t=11623

How about this one: How many unique 1080p images can you make with 8-bit RGB color? How many unique patterns are there in the Mandelbrot set? How many seconds have you been alive? (Years * 365 * 30 * 24 * 60 * 60) How many unique qualia are there? (Gradients of Sense-Perception and Cognitive Functions) How many unique qualia combinations are there? (Take it to its own power) Take unique qualia to the power of seconds alive. Take that to the power of all living organisms. Account for all possible interactions across all holarchies. Look up Chaos theory

I believe all experience is perceived, much of it traversed on different layers and by alternate selves. Yet I wouldn't say all of it is equal in significance and intensity of awareness to our own. There is an infinity of qualia behind the senses that channel our experience. Lifeforms across all layers filter and navigate this potential. If you can conceive it, it's been simulated, but not necessarily at your POV's intensity. That is to say, there are gradients between pure imagination and actualized experience. Our structure creates significance and confines, to deepen intensity and immersion. Such actualized experiences depend upon this highly filtered structure. It's a probability distribution, except probability = experiential intensity. Imagine that at each step, consciousness fractals outwards to explore alternatives. Then it chooses among them to merge into a higher actualized perception. This perception advances its timeline, even though others are also available. And it's an open, interactive system, formed by conscious drive and desire for its materialization.

I'ma build a starship and go Warp 10! 👍 *remembers the episode* Okay, maybe Warp 9.999 actually

Okay, true. A plane is pretty fast though, relatively speaking at least.

It's kinda empty if you know what I mean 😁

@Schizophonia Hate is pretty heavy and tiring, so I switch the frequency 😁 @Princess Arabia You're part of the school board I see... @CARDOZZO Thank yee @Sugarcoat Less than you'd think, but it feels like a lot

Hmm, Algebraic Topology sounds pretty cool too though, if it's anything like this one, that is 😁

Still gotta write that Thesis to get the PhD and become the Master of Psychedelics, huh? How many years have you been going at it? 😁 Then you know how I feel about Leo not having his own University, that I'd love to attend with the rest of the forum btw, I missed your miracle proof by 7 minutes, 7m after you posted it was gone

Pretty sure that's what he intends, the alternative is pretty anti-climactic. Just wonder if he's aware of that.

You still do what you want authentically, it's just part of a greater context, form which's POV, it's more predictable.

Unless you have dissodelics on hand, then it's exponentially faster, but also challenging, and fun, if you can handle schizophrenia, it's the wacky path. Sadhguru also has courses of similar intensity but conscious, sober, and guided. Many paths lead to Rome, sometimes it's better to slow down and smell the roses on the way, other times you can grind way beyond your boundries, and yet other times you actually wanna take a few steps back.

The universe is also cheese and pepperoni 😁

@Thought Art Keep this up man… your trolling is getting old.

Indeed, yet the more I explore and model, the more it seems any model is just a codified abstraction of patterns that would be nonsensical outside a very direct and lengthily attained understanding, through the inherent dynamics and warping of our own (neural) structure.

Ah, so you are learning! I'm delighted to see you grow. "Always be on your guard - otherwise you may learn something." -Kreia
