    Ill make a service that downloads songs from spotify uploads them to audius under the artists account name and provide a paid service for artists to verify there account with us and get access to there audius clone account = there profits. This way people can transition to audious simply by claiming there account that is already making them money. 

    Sry, I had apparently a too quick read. You write a service? Tell us more! Which language? Where is the repository? Won't that bring you in legal troubles with spotify for ripping from their service?

    Decentralized solution: https://audius.co/feed

    Identical to Spotify but artists get 90% profits and 10% goes to the node operators.

    Downside, not many songs, no one is using it.

    How does this is possible? Can I, say, take an old CD, rip it and upload it in the Artists Name. Then what? They get contacted?

    tl;dr: either you choose something easier before Hofstadter or you have to fight yourself through - word by word, concept by concept. The second approach is less likely to succeed but 10 times more rewarding.

     

     

    - generally I'd advice use kindle for foreign literature, it has a dictionary to whatever language you want to learn

    - another approach by a friend of mine (I believe you are a german nativespeaker???):

    - regarding Hofstadter or hard stuff in general... you need to invest huge chunks of time for getting the concepts behind the works... a sentence can take days of thinking or to let it sink in.. I remember reading  Harry Potter at 9, Tolkien at 12, Marx and Adorno at 17, then Kant at 22 or so... each time it was super hard at first, but finally I came to a new quality of reading and really understanding. You'd think Tolkien??? But for me it was back then a challenge. You (and me if I'd study Hofstadter) would challenge like a 9 Y/O reading Harry Potter for the first time. I'd struggle withvthe English Names: Dursley. Vernon. Dudley. At Petunia is kind of easy. etc etc you get what I'm saying? My first book in english I read cover to cover was 'the time machine' probably also at age 16 or so with my tutor. It's in easy english but... Every sentence I needed to look up stuff, it was hard work. Then we tackled Harry Potter 6 in English and I couldn't get myself to work through it. Same with movies, back then it was hard, now I like the english original with some rare slang or accent, say NYC Queens-South Jamaica or Irish or some British Dialect. But it took work..

    Disgusting. 

    I was walking the other day onto a relatively quiet train station and there were these teenagers, boy and girl. The girl was absolutely hammered she was laying on the ground with her legs all over her head, and in other similar suggestive positions, the boy kinda dragged her along. And the worst part is that it was just the early evening and they were planning on taking the train somewhere, probably to party. 

    I asked them "is everything alright?" They both replied "Yes!"

    But then some other random big dudes stepped in and didn't allow them to board the train and basically ordered them to go home. 
    They were both just stupid teenagers, it didn't seem particularly malicious and the girl herself really wanted to go. But holyshit, this is how rape happens and lives are ruined for both girls and boys. Imagine your daughter or sister being that girl. 

    By the time they are teens you can't really do much. Parents need to talk to their kids when they are younger.

    I sometimes see Youngsters (16-21) when I buy groceries in the evening and they ask me to buy them alcohol. I don't do it. When I was their age I would ask strangers to buy alcohol for me it and they did it. Now the Question - why would they buy me alcohol? Didn't they know what I know now?

    1- what's the fastest way to achieve financial freedom ?

    Become a Business owner, over 90% chance to loose everything and maybe 5% to get out financial free. I personally wouldn't recommend it unless you are skilled enough. You can roll the dice, but why make the gamble even more risky by not preparing?

    2-can I start making income from any other source than 9-5 jobs because I don't have time because I have university assignments,exams and projects to work on?

    Yeah, but is it likely you succeed with splitting yourself in half? No. Most likely it would be better to just pick up a part time job and focus on college thus graduating earlier.

    3-let's suppose I started making money independently..it seems to me that they will only serve me in the  short term..because I have Tons of bills to pay ..from food to electricity to rent etc...so I won't be saving much to invest in the future. So what's up with that ? How to save money for the long run ?

    This is where a rare skill comes in handy. If you are a craftsmen or programmer your only struggle is to not spend too much money on stupid stuff. I guess you are able to do nothing of worth, so you get jobs like waiter or clerk.

    Reminds me of me Law 28 of the 49 laws of Power: Act boldly:

    "Lie boldly: By acting boldly you can hide your weaknesses. Con artists know that the bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed. Audacity distracts attention from a phony story’s inconsistencies. "https://www.shortform.com/blog/48-laws-of-power-law-28-enter-action-with-boldness/

    Hello everyone

    I have an issue with my relationship to my closest friend. We had a very good relationship in high school, but it feels like we are starting to drift apart more and more and I am not sure what to do about it. Immediately after high school we both started taking different classes at the university and he really threw himself head first into the university life, being extremely active, partying and studying a lot, we didn't hang out much during the first year at university, since he was busy all the time, but slowly he started to realize that he didn't like the hectic student life or the shallow relationships that he was building (a lot of his new friends turned out to not care that much about him, or at least that's his version of it). We started to hang out more and we always had very deep and personal conversations, it seemed that we could talk about anything and be very honest with each other.

    Then came the pandemic, and we didn't meet a lot during that period (for obvious reasons). We hung out mostly on video and phone calls (which I generally do not like to do). After the restrictions lifted I could see three mayor changes in my friends behavior. First he had developed a mental illness and having problems with anxiety. Every time we planed to do something, like taking a walk, go out to eat lunch etc. he almost always cancelled out, and it wasn't rare that he did it last minute (an hour before we were supposed to meet), he always said that he was tired, that he had way to much studying to do, or that he had some side effect from the medicine he was taking. This was just something that I accepted by not counting on him when I booked something in my calender, I myself have suffered from mental illness in the past, so I don't want to be harsch on him.

    Second thing that changed: Our conversations started to feel really boring, it felt like everything we talked about were our studies, what we were going to study in the upcoming semsters, what tasks we had to do etc. Other times it felt like the conversations were deep in a forced way. I generally love deep talk, but sometimes I felt like I wanted to talk shit, just talking about random stuff without it needing to be insightful.

    Lastly: He got a new girlfriend at the end of 2020 and he has been isolated with her ever since. Almost Every time I ask my friends out for a gaming night. he can't because he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend, whom I've never met, despited me having stated clearly that she also could be invited to our board game night. (apperently he hasn't met her family either, despite said family living about 20 km away). 

    The situation that really got me to lose my patience though was when my dad told me he had cancer, (exactly how bad it is we do not yet know). The same evening I wrote to my friend asking if he would like to met me this weekend, because I could really need it. He replied "Can we talk on zoom/phone on sunday, I can't because I'm with my girlfriend." I said that I didn't like talking on the phone, that I thought he was isolating himself too much with his girlfriend and it could be good if he set time aside to do other things too, I also said that I was in a situation were I could really feel better if I had someone to talk to. He replied that he decides for himself how to use his time, that he loves his girlfriend above all else and so the natural choise is to spend as much time with her as possible during the weekend when both are free. He goes on to say that he really doesn't want me to feel deprioritized, that he knows I hate to speak on phone/video but that it is the best that he can offer. Right now he is completely completely busy with himself and his psyche. (these last two sentences really made me start to question our friendship)

    Sorry for long thread, I wanted to be as detailed and nuanced as I could. My question is: Is this relationship salvageable? I don't really know what to do.

    Sry too hear that from your dad, you know my dad died 2 months ago.

    Regarding your friend... We in my german Town have a slang word for it: Weg gewichst. He is weg gewichst, meaning we has lost the juice of life. Living just for the hedonic treatmill. Often when a man gets into a relationship he loses his backbone and becomes just lazy and complacent. That seems to be the case.

    Can you tell him upfront that you think he is destroying himself and the friendship slowly?

    Anyway, it hurt but was kinda like a nice sad pain. I just went to the beach and watched sunset while listening to Bob Marley. It helped me to refocus on my life purpose and how transient romance is. Its stupid to depend on it. She was one the first women in a while that I really digged tho :/

    Vaiting in vain? We were all there, my friend.

    If the human is basically just a robot but still "aware", then could it be that divine consciousness is literally in everything on different scales?
    Do all of the electrical circuits in my macbook form some form of consciousness, just totally different?

    Say it it conscious. Will you then be ashamed of the sites browsed in front of you macbook? :D

    @thepixelmonk

    thanks you for the inspiration anyway, I was taking a break from brainstorming for the topics for my next videos and I should do something about free knowledge management. love!

     

    @Rasheed

    That reasoning is like to say why should one live if one forgets most of what one does. If one only thinks of books as a means to an end one misses the point I'd argue. Same goes for thinking you need to remember everything. Maybe it's from school? Ain't nobody comes in real life and demands a 3 page essay, which has all essential points covered, by the end of next week. For example I read 'Eat to Live 1' from Elijah Muhammad and all I gathered from it was 1. Eat no swine (I'm a vegetarian anyway) and 2. Eat at best one meal a day or ever other day. Why should I remember the not relevant stuff?

    Perfect example of 'going for the gimmick'.

    Get this software and you are world class in no time! Yeah, you give over your precious notes to us, strangers, for money but who cares about this anyway. Besides we are trustworthy (tm) ;) What our Software does? In principle the same like Office Suite. It's revolutionary^^

    It's not the Software, it is the discipline.

    What makes a good man?

    To answer the above Question we need to define what we mean by 'man' because different people interpret this differently. One could argue, that the biological gender is what counts, other that it is the sociological gender what counts. To make this easier we go by the sociological concept of gender. Further I define that we are talking about relatively liberal but still somewhat traditional roles for men (and woman). Let's call this practical and propose that the vast majority in the west (tm) is living like that. I can't make any realistic Ideas about other Cultures or groups of Cultures in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania - at least not without researching in depth on the topic.

    Next thing to ponder is what 'good' even mean. 'Makes' implies that a man can do certain things to make him more good relative to other action. There are likely bad actions, neutral ones and good ones and all in between. But what can 'good' mean as in 'being a good men'? It could imply a very relatively code of honor, a set of rules like the ones that are instilled upon men in religions like Islam. It also implies a moral. We can delve into this and make a set of actions a man often fulfills (earning money, raising children, be social in a group of men, be a role model to other men...) and think how one would need to act to be morally 'good'. I don't do this right now, but we can collect some things from this thread.

    It could also mean something that is not in the realm of morality, most notably being good in survival. Every ability and sub-skill is a means for survival if you think about it. The better a man is in a valuable skill, the more 'good' he is for a given group. Let's say you are somewhere in the middle of the US in some giant forest a Park Ranger which guides you would be very beneficial to you. He is 'good' at what he does. Of course - doesn't that applies to women and other who don't identify as men? Can't they be 'good' in that sense? Of course they can. However it is implied that through the male body, tradition and psychology they are more suited for certain tasks. Most notably men cannot near children and are not as likely to raise them as women. In a Society where we division the Labor a man is more likely to have a time advantage compared to the average woman. So the answer of this is: A man is 'good' to the degree that his skills make him and other he cares for able to survive and thrive.
