If we knew how well the middle class lives in China we would riot. China has solved poverty and homeless for its entire population in our lifetimes. They have 90% home ownership rate. Universal Healthcare, low crime rate, affordable high quality education, cheap electric cars, good environmental regulations, high speed rail, etc etc..compare that to the tent cities, mass shooting, toxic social media, culture wars, and fentanyl epidemics of the "free world". One major reason China is doing so well is because they don't have two parties undermining each other every 4 years. They have one party committed to improving the lives of its people, the environment, advancing technology. We are deluding ourselves in the West at this point that we are in any way better than China. We need to stop infighting and pull out shit together to remain competitive. Heres a good video and channel on the topic....

That's a good point anti-natalist by definition are selecting themselves out of the gene pool. But sometimes ideas are contagious, like viruses, and the idea gets reproduced in a population without relying on sex. Declining birth rates are proof that people are having less and less kids on principle.

Trump makes it so obvious why tyrants and dictators take control of the press and kill or cancel any dissenting voices. Trump is a real time showcase of the psychology of such leaders.

Quit my job, Blow it all on stupid things, get depressed

It was around $20k last time I checked.

Hope you like it

Being afraid of AI is similar to how people were afraid of the Internet when it first came out. It's also like Aristotle, who didn't trust writing because it made you mentally lazy. Check out this interview by Mark Cuban to ease your worries...

I agree with this video but what happens I think is that parents get tired and save energy where they can. It takes alot of effort to teach people.

Is depression and suicide always a result of bad parenting? Can you have shitting parents and not be depressed and suicidal?

I watched this, gave me anxiety and I believe it's toxic and doesn't give much value. It was interesting to see the crazy things people believe but it's basically unconscious people talking over each other. Also people most of the time they are arguing over definitions on that channel. In most debates the person who can think the quickest and has a more authoritative rhetoric usually seen as "winning" even if they aren't right.

In Leo's last video he stressed the importance of logic. But what's logical about being a ceiling fan for 20 years on a salvia trip (as was the case in a video he shared)? What's logical about God being in two places at once, namely inside each of our heads? I feel like God is more illogical than logical. Or am I wrong?

My parents were low key toxic AF, no positive reinforcement, no kind words, no pats on the shoulder, no usuable advice, no deep talks about important things, plenty of scapegoating the kids, blaming the kids for all family problems never themselves, cheap as fuck. We were financially very stable but parents had their heads up the Catholic priests ass so far they had no mind for the family.

Thanks guys

You know why Aristotle didn't write anything down? because he thought the new technology of writing would make people mentally lazy.

Follow the golden rule: treat other's the way you would like to be treated. Alot of people wish their parents never gave birth to them. As long as your kid isn't one of those people you will make a good parent.

Trippy video

I shared the clip here. It's the first topic "nothing begins to exist".

Isn't contemplating the world around us what we do here?

Christianity has had a 2000 year trial period and it still hasn't created a perfect Christian heaven on earth. Couldn't God come up with a better plan? Couldn't God come up with a message that instantly and decisively convinces and converts the listener? isnt God powerful enought to come up with a message that is immune to corruption and misinterpretation? Yet Christians have been creating a whole bunch of devilery in the past 2000 years "in the name of God". Similarily if there is "One true God" why can't Christians agree with each other and create different sects? Muslims don't agree with each other either and they also claim there is "one true Allah".

Yes good point too

Don't worry I'm not. God is here right now every moment no need for a church or a sacred ancient text. I mean religion is bullshit. And my post is my best proof of that.

Couldn't an "all-powerful" God create an uncorruptible religion? Because all religions can be corrupted is proof that they are created by humans. Yes there's some truth to the religions but they weren't created by a God in the sky.

Watch Leos videos, force your mind to meditate/contemplate 24/7, even when you are doing other stuff.
