I think data mining(it's not "artificial intelligence") will be useful for math adjacent tasks like programming, supplement in healthcare and management, but it's not intelligence. I find it odd that it's not solving more math and physics questions yet, math is much simpler for a computer than real world tasks(intelligence).

I haven't had any formal addictions but when I'm inclined toward unproductive habits I always find the root cause to be something environmental such as a job, people, community, food, or the physical environment.

I think he was asked about Oklahoma city, a pretty white city, maybe the whitest big city in the u.s., and he said he'd never live there because of the culture....... he lives in Chicago, probably one of the top 5 most diverse cities in the world, with a massive black and first generation immigrant population, a liberal city in a liberal state. His entire schtick is preserving white Christian culture(Oklahoma city).

U.s. data centers are using more electricity than the entire country of u.k., Spain, or Italy

I don't know of anyone. I don't think it's necessary though, that would require them to be an independent and it would be a huge task to get a fringe of both sides of the aisle to coalesce on what is still a minor issue when they disagree on how to attack the issue and then disagree on almost every other issue. Economic populism is popular with disaffected college grads, and middle aged low income people ('blue collar'), they have nothing else in common and it's not a strong enough issue to bind them.

He entered the race today and already leading the polls!

That part is fine but they're doing a lot more than that, that's like 3 of 1,000 posts.

I agree. Economic populism is popular, but DSA messengers don't understand how to sell it to anyone outside disaffected college grads, in general. Trump ran on it...

Leo gets charity for his claims to the extent that he should not be harassed for them, you can try to prove him wrong, that doesn't require attacking him personally Youre not getting charity for your harassment, and evasion. Post a reasonable argument that this is a cult or Leo is a narcissist, but don't make it personal. "Guys.........., I'm concerned, look at these posts 1 2 3 Leo is exhibiting these traits of narcisism/cult!!" Not "HeS fUcKiNG DelusIonAl, WeRe aLl goin die!!!!!, you sycophant trolls!!!!! Bhhaaaaaaa!" "THAT AINT THE DEFINITION OF A CULT!!! Bhhaaaaa!" "Dildo, Bhhaaaaa!!!" "Epistomology, Bhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The ole' motte and bailey

Not ambitious that way, more emphasis on the novelty. More like insane or delusional.

It's how he gets people to quit doing it instead of banning everyone, having a 'dysfunctional' forum rather than no forum. Saying "that's wrong", will not stop people.

To transcend what you want to transcend to pursue what you want to pursue, this is what Leo wants to pursue. He's not pursuing 'bliss'. Ya *The need to accomplish what he's seeking. He's not on roids, studying linguistics, or living on a yacht or in a monastery. *the inability to entertain reactive criticism. Ya It's not normal, just not inherently 'bad' Make a video and post it, I'm sure Leo will study it. Yes I don't think that strategy is viable, because of the motivations and 'purpose'.

We're a pyramid scheme though. The only way our national debt doesn't sink us in runaway inflation is if AI is a succes, it's a hail Mary. Our dollar will be worthless, it's why people want crypto.

That's actually not contrary to my position, that's the "human" reference I use. Thank you for the reference I will read up on that, not because of the connection to Leo, just seems interesting. He can want more from people from multiple motivations at once and for different circumstances, my previous post was geared toward other users, how you can better use the forum. I agree, his lashing out is from insecurity as well, but, BUT, insecurity is EVERYONES primary motivation for most things, it's the same coin as Steve Jobs or Michael Jordan's accomplishments. You're not going to have a person being gentle and trudging through new frontier, that would be god like.

It works well for you? I think I would like scheduling and structure if I had little going on. I just like structure because it takes less thinking, i don't think it's what motivates me.

He doesn't denigrate people for their beliefs, ignorance, or opinions, he denigrates them when they challenge him with poorly thought out remarks, it's a very important distinction. If people posted more maturely, and I don't mean in a pseudo intellectual way like Carl and zurew do, they put thought into how their comments are written and sound but they put very little thought into the substance of their comments, if people posted more maturely I see no reason why Leo would be abusive like he is, he let's people post all sorts of concepts that are counter to his teachings. It's either be harsh to people, admittedly he should be less harsh and reactive than he often is - but he's human, or fucking ban EVERYONE. I'm sorry but people need harshness a lot of the time, they will just mentally masturbate without it, that's obviously not what Leo intends for Actualized. I have no faith in his God, Alien, or Psychedlics by the way, I don't subscribe to them at all. I'm an atheist that has never done drugs nor ever will. I believe spirituality is personal and takes infinite forms.

I think it's different for me, I'm a binger. I go in bursts of practice, in all my free time for a month I can out of pure desire focus on learning something, sometimes more than a month, I can spend 18 hours a day on the weekend on something. Then I can go months on a break. My girlfriend used to almost get concerned about me at times, she just makes fun of me a little now. For things I care less about it's still in the binge on and then off, but only a few hours a day when it's on. I usually have genuine strong desire to learn or practice something I'm interested in.
