I've been watching his game theory series and now on episode 7, there is a lot of oversimplifications and I've tried to be careful with them but it's still been one of the most helpful and informative content for understanding the Game that the world plays and some principles and laws of it. I think this is the kind of stuff that should be taught in every school allthought the school system is not great for stuff like this and that's even one of the episodes in this series.

It's been few months now that I watched the video about Truth being the ultimate value and I have realized that I always have had intuitions about the Truth. What I mean is that there are so many situations where I thought to myself that something is wrong about something but I couldn't really articulate it to myself. For example, even when I was quite young and I used to listen to debates, I thought that it actually makes no sense that some people aspire to be better at debating because that basically means that you will be only better and more effective at pushing your own agenda, this was quite deep insight for that age I think but also I just didn't know what to make of that at all. This is just one of many many examples, now my question is that do you guys think that everyone has deep intuition about the Truth but the level of acting on the intuition is what makes the difference between people? Is Truth intuitive at all?

I believe that life is just a long series of sacrifices. You always sacrifice something for something else. If you want to make a lot of money, you will need to sacrifice some social contacts, friends, family, kids. If you want to be great friend, husband and a father it's really hard to also make a lot of money unless you completely sacrifice your health. Many of the billionares are actually miserable because they have sacrificed so much and they don't see the sacrifice paying itself back in any meaningful way. That's why many of them will start to develop some higher usages for the money, like Elon Musk wants to save the humanity from extinction, Bill Gates wants to vaccinate everyone etc. I think the best way to approach this is to be conscious and selective about the sacrifices you actually are willing to make. Maybe even list them out and look at them every day. If you don't do this, your unconscious mind will do it and be your master in life.

I probably am a little bit neurodivergent, but I'm also a little bit of a lizard by dna, so am I a lizard? Well if you ask a typical lizard they would probably say something like shhhhh🦎

Does that include me? I love Leo's videos and unique views on things. I'm very neurotypical tho, maybe just everybody else then...

@Inliytened1 Andrew Huberman is highly overrated imo.

Is Alex O'Connor out of question? It wouldn't be the easiest podcast to get to but it would be interesting to say at least.

What do you mean by this if you don't mind me asking? What is it like being a psychic, how do you know?

Stellaris is amazing, Civ is also good.

Laughing at your boss's unfunny jokes. Not standing up against bullying.

I was going to write tattoos but then I realized that not having tattoos is also very comformist.. wait am I the only one who thinks this megathread doesn't make any sense at at all. Anything can be conformist or non-conformist and it's just all about the people around you that makes the difference. Drinking poison is super conformist but only under the influence of Jim Jones.

Linkedin, super conformist

Absolutely fantastic video. I feel like lot of the things said in the video just sounded so obvious but I've never heard them said before. My question is that is it possible to cripple your decision making when the Truth becomes the highest value? What I mean by that is that sometimes I feel like decisions just need to be made quickly and there might not be time for truth seeking. How does a real truth seeker handle these scenarios? Can a real truth seeker be in a swat group handling a hostage situation?

Thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely check out Peter Ralston. When it comes to motivations and goals changing, I don't see any problem there, actually I'm just kinda exited to be able to see them drop at some point because it's tiring to have so much material aspirations all the time.
