@Cred I kinda get it but I don't want to assume, could you lower the level of abstraction? like you are talking to a kid (because i kinda am lol)

@PolyPeter yep

@Cred what do you mean by "space" in this context?

this should be number 0 on the list.

@gettoefl nice framing

@NewKidOnTheBlock True and very important. before, I tend to fill every still moment with some sort of stimulation, thinking doing nothing is painful. but now I'm learning and trying to be better at enjoy stillness. or "raw-dogging boredom" as genz call it

How deep can you explain? Cred: Yes. seriously though, this is what I was looking for but didn't know i was. amazing insight, I will be thinking about this for a while

first, you see only part of the picture (incomplete puzzle) that's why it appears that there is only right or wrong (check and cross) which represents worldview/selective attention but when you see the whole picture (complete puzzle), you realize reality is more than that and you were interpreting only part of reality. also, it could be an epistemology thing

Huge thanks Leo. when i found your content, i was in an existential crisis while living with very hardass conformist religious family, friends and environment. i felt like an outcast, constantly being judged, misunderstood and suicidal. was still discovering my unhealed shit. had no direction in life or will to do anything. Now, after only 3 years, i created the most unconventional life in a third world country while being completely independent of everyone. something i couldn't do without the understanding you share. thanks man.

interesting perspective, mine is different. it's: paradigm or human worldview VS actual reality.

She was there alone, broken. she triggered in me the savior syndrome, so i wanted to fix her, so i walked right to her and started fixing her. the connection was unreal, we are talking sparks and flow states. it took us a while, even though we were codependent, me being dependent on the challenge of fixing her and her depending on my full continuous attention, we eventually worked things out. now i deserve her love, so i plugged my thing into her and oh my god electricity was flowing literally God damn and after some time, my phone is fully charged and ready to use.

@bazera yes exactly

There's this wave of AI hate Online where lots of people are criticizing AI and calling it sloppy and useless and dumb. and accusing it of making us dumb and slow... and in my opinion, it's just dumb group think rejecting anything new. it's just a bunch of generalizations, cherry picking rants that lack depth and nuance. AI is a fucking skill, the output you get is a reflection of you. you can't just type "make me an app" and then complain how sloppy the output is. if your prompt is bellow a 1000 words, and is vague, don't expect anything great. a prompt should leave no room for the AI to guess things. and if you use it for full creativity, you'll also get sloppy stuff. AI is a tool, like any other tool we created as lazy ass humans that want to outsource anything repetitive and boring. when we got tired of washing clothes with our bare hands, we invented washing machines. and did that make us dumb or inefficient? no it made it possible to wash lots of clothes at once with no effort. people have literally reacted the same way when other tools were invented, like the calculator, the computer, the camera, google.... the point is, AI is for outsourcing mechanical tasks, not creativity. if you want to build an app, you don't outsource everything to AI, you outsource repetitive productive stuff that require little to no creativity. AI is also for navigating uncertainty by thinking with it, not letting it think for you. AI doesn't replace thinking and creativity, it amplifies it and makes it faster. think of it as "artificial leverage" rather than "artificial intelligence" here's how AI benefited my life: • makes me able to write social posts and copywriting stuff so fast and efficient, with huge volume. • helps me articulate ideas better in any style and tone. • in architecture school, i no longer need a high performing PC, because i can just design a building with basic software and the AI renders everything for me, don't even need a graphics card or big ram. • i use it as a companion for inner work. we are talking shadow work, personality tests, coaching, contemplation and more. and from my experience, it is efficient and accurate but only for guiding me towards the right direction. • makes research way faster and targeted. • it amplified my learning of technical skills. courses that teach technical stuff now are basically useless • helps me generate original insights and ideas, by discussing with it and connecting dots. • helps with feedback with any area of my life. • helps me with making technical visuals that would take me 3 hours to make on my own using Photoshop but only 15 minutes with it. • helps with scheduling, productivity, tracking. • helps with problem solving, whatever the type of teh problem is. • The ratio between productivity and creativity in my life has shifted heavily toward creativity thanks to AI.

@bazera to clarify, I'm not aware of any threads or posts on the forum talking about AI, i thought this rejection of AI is a trend and posted my opinion. also, as i said, it is a skill. the prompt is everything, you have to constrain the output so much otherwise AI will keep guessing things like context, tone, goal of the response, where to look and pull from, who it is talking to, who is it talking as... and simply believing AI is the user's responsibility, just like for any other source (book, article, video....) and hallucination is a feature of AI, not a bug, it is programmed to generate answers with certainty. notice how it will never say "i don't know, I'm not sure" so the variable here is the user's input. for example, if you are creating an animation, you don't just tell an artist "animate a guy kicking somebody in the face" because he'll draw a random generic kick. you rather tell him every detail possible, and create the first and last frame yourself (creative part) and all he does is connect those frames by drawing the ones in between (hope you get this niche example haha) same for any other intellectual or creative task. it all depends on how much you outsource to AI.

@PolyPeter thanks mate

@Leo Gura i agree, AI is not a magic wand, it is very flawed. i guess the hype is marketing. but there's also a huge backlash from people simply rejecting AI without second thoughts. so many videos, so many posts and comments it's crazy.

god damn, what fear and ego does

@Natasha Tori Maru i agree, i wasn't responding to any forum posts, I'm just expressing my opinion using second person writing

when you say "found", do you mean you came up with it empirically, or directly became conscious of it or something else?

@Cred I’d ignore that shit and keep searching anyway. If there’s no more uncertainty, no more dots to connect, no more sense to make… what’s even the point? I’d straight up pretend I didn’t see it. Blind as hell. Back to confusion we go. but for real, isn't consciousness work it? surely one can explain everything with it from the Top down, from the absolute all the way down to details, right?

this is interesting, and got me curious more about ADHD, would you mind sharing more insights and thoughts like this? I like your perspective

this is some interesting shit, slick perspective. I also see this pattern a lot but never articulated it this way. it is also the difference between polymaths and specialists. in business, you find a lot of people specializing in one niche, one skill, one business model, copying what works and are results oriented. and you also find these generalists that combine a wide variety of skillsets by connecting dots and creating a unique brand and business that no one can replicate because it is authentic to them, and they were able to do that through big picture thinking and synthesizing.

Sure, i will stick with it and make clear distinction between survival and passion/alignment.

"How can I embody Love and align my life and attitude with it so that my work flows effortlessly (not neurotically) and naturally contributes value, while still caring about survival (financially)?" is this the right question to ask at this phase of my life and iterate to figure it out, I'm 23 and running a freelance business after quitting university last year. and I still need at least 1 to 2 years of building in order to be comfortable financially, and building phase requires a lot of work and focus. or should I stop at the level of practical self-help right now and leave alignment for later? (routine, time blocks, deadlines, discipline, optimization, productivity stuff…)

okay that makes sense, i guess what i needed is to hear that harsh truth. things are much clearer now. also, i think what's holding me back is fear of being neurotic. anyway, thank you so much for the help and everything else. i will contemplate on this more and adjust accordingly.
