Disgusting! These relativetards are harming relationships and people's mental health a lot. They just ignore every evidence that counter their ideology. But yea, she needs to look into the limitations of modernism also.

A therapist's job is to show you the truth in a non-traumatizing way not only to confirm your delusions.

AGI isn’t possible until there is a serious jump in overall development and consciousness with the tech bros and society as a whole to have the infrastructure to sustainably support that. It’s like trying to fly to the stars in mediaeval Europe. Engineers made all these strange flying contraptions and machines and promised a lot but they had fundamental misunderstandings underlying them and a massive gap in understanding to truly transcending into a reality where it was actually possible to fly. That takes a lot of time, trial and error and development. Eventually it  came with further advancements. Right now we are being shown the weird flying contraptions and of course they have no problems lying and propping them up with strings to make it appear as if they are flying.

These grifters will need to go to jail, Huang, Altman, Nadella, Ellison. This is like reverse 2008, we're actively choosing the crash..... Idiocracy

Where is the change??

The width of the blog has also changed for me since I got a new phone. It's really annoying because it was much easier to read before, and I can't seem to find a solution. Here's the difference in display, old vs new:

I noticed that change before Leo started to post again. But the website overall isn't mobile-friendly, so I didn't bother to say it.

AI blog post with the Newport video was fantastic! 

I think you should make an AI video next. It could be of tremendous help to people who work with AI on a daily basis. So it wouldn't just be relevant to AI hype in the media but to our daily lives and communication with it. 

Every day I talk to ChatGPT, for my business and personal. Even though I understand what the LLM is, I do get mad at it sometimes. Isn't that curious?

Isn't 99% of therapists basically just reframinig you into their frame?

That could be one approach. But it also can be to help you change how you reframe things. Therapy can help you change thinking patterns to more convenient ones. Or at least that would be one form of good therapy, I doubt there are therapist good enough to really do that.

The blog post on corruption in the medical industry.

It was a example of corruption done wrong, the right way to be corrupt is in plain sight by setting easy benchmarks, for example that a control group will lose weight in the next 12 weeks versus a placebo control.

The point is the target is the lie.

You could drink bleach for 12 weeks and lose weight, what does that say about ozempic? (ignored long-term, ignored major gastrointestinal problems...)

Idk, i don't go to therapy. I was able to show the truth to myself. Maybe i will go if i get stuck. But it I will need a top therapist not a worthless slop one.

Yes, a way of showing you what you can't see.

Here’s what I think about the critique of postmodernism:

 

It’s from a higher perspective, not a lower. But I was uncertain for quite a while. Honestly, just because, at first impression, she seemed to me like a republican and I judged her/conformed with my liberal bias. 

Why the critique is from a higher perspective:

• She explained post-modernism fairly  I think and understood it well — although she didn’t go into too much detail about it so it’s hard to know what exactly she thinks about it. 
• She didn’t demonize post-modernism.
• She understood an important flaw of post-modernism: That it imposes its own “hierarchy” upon different fields although that should be what post-modernism tries to stop.
• She’s right that assumptions like gender and sex being different shouldn’t be taken for granted.
• She’s right about objective findings STILL BEING IMPORTANT AND VALID. The findings don’t just change because the narrative did. Old, fundamental research is important.
• She’s right that ideology infected the field, that’s it’s extremely biased towards liberalism and that it demonizes conservatives — and that all this is horrible for the practice of psychology and creates worse outcomes for patients. 
• She’s also right that not all perspectives are equal. 
• She’s also right that empirical evidence is ABSOLUTELY necessary if psychology actually wants to be a serious and effective field. 
• Generally I think all of what she said about the field of psychology is correct. Although I’m not an expert in psychology so I don’t know. 
• The final reason for why I think it’s a critique from a higher perspective is that she doesn’t disregard all post modernist premises — like it being important to decrease systemic racism. She simply questions the effectiveness of methods we use to “fight” these things.

At the beginning I thought she was very creepy and republican, at the end I realized that it was just my stage green acting up. 
 

Some points I’d add after reading other comments: 

• She definitely gives stage orange vibes.
• She probably doesn’t see any validity in postmodernism which would point to a lower perspective. Generally, she doesn’t try to really integrate post modernism into her worldview which, again, would point to a lower perspective. 

I correct my answer: It’s from a lower perspective, but I do think a lot of the criticisms she brings up are valid.

Yeah this is what has changed. A little more mobile friendly before, now loads as if you're using desktop mode in your browser settings.

The site has not changed. Your browser settings changed. You can increase the text zoom level in your browser per website.

I have independently verified the post 'Everything Is Made Out Of Infinities' and aligns with my understanding of Reality. Infinity is the most beautifully marvellous and terrifyingly magnanimous only Reality. Any serious intellectual delights at the nature of infinity.

It doesn’t work. I’ve tried zooming the page exactly the same way as on my old phone, but on the new phone the text size does not change.

Here is ChatGPT's explanation:

Quote

The text appears smaller on some devices because of higher pixel density and a wider logical viewport. A denser, wider screen allows more content to be displayed horizontally, which makes the text appear smaller and lines longer.

The browser can reflow text only when the logical width is relatively narrow compared to the content. On a wider screen, fixed-width content stays in place and the text does not reorganize, even when zooming.

Zooming on mobile enlarges the entire page, but does not force the text to rearrange. If the site uses fixed font sizes or pixel-based widths, the text can overflow the screen instead of adapting.

This behavior depends on the interaction between logical width, screen density, and how the site handles text layout. There is no per-site setting in mobile browsers to change it.

It’s really difficult to read the blog now. I hope there will be a solution in the future, perhaps from the website, if that's not too difficult, by making the layout more responsive and using flexible text sizes so that the text can adapt to different screen widths and pixel densities. Hopefully, that would improve the situation.

I imagine many users will start to face the same issue as they update to devices with higher screen resolutions and pixel densities. For reference, my previous phone was a Samsung S10+ from 2019 and this one is the S25+ from this year.
