This is exactly why we need a world that gives every person a chance to rise to their potential. The number of people with zero chance to solve the universe is ridiculously high. The way the world operates currently… Heaven on earth, while possible, has been stolen by the would wage war or hoard wealth in highly inefficient ways.

Life is too short to consider the lesser of two evils. Push for the ideal.

Resigning is not enough. It’s actually breaking the oath you take to protect Americans. What’s with these worthless military officers?

I once discovered a sociology equation that makes anyone appear as a prophet.

You start by make opposing claims under different entities.

Example: Under a red avatar, claim Trumps wins the election. Under a blue avatar, claim Trump losses. Then, do the same thing for tons of topics. Stocks go up, war in Iran, who wins, etc. Eventually, with enough predictions you may have convinced a pool of people that you can predict the future. Even if the pool goes from 10 million to 2,000 over time. Imagine what having a pool of 2,000 people who think you are omnipotent can do for you.

That being said, Jiang’s predictions have been wildly correct on the topics I listed above. It would take a new precedent of being incorrect to challenge his value. I don’t know that much about him, but that’s already happened. How many predictions were wrong?

Either way, who cares? Only the modern idiot takes YouTube, Twitter, Reddit and even Lemmy as a reputable source for anything substantial. Outside the thought experiment: “what if this is true? Then…” these posts are entertainment at best.

Getting informed in the modern age looks like taking leads from anywhere and doing independent research. For example, you can email scientists who write papers. Ask them directly. The ones I’ve engaged are usually eager to respond. But starting with a scientific paper with multiple sources and peer agreed conclusions… that’s the bare minimum.

To have a true independent thought, you must immerse in the facts and think hard on something.

If you just listen to podcasts or watch YouTube, or at worst… just collect headlines. You honestly shouldn’t share your opinion at all.

Now that’s a cool thesis statement ;)

When I heard about neuralink first, I went down the rabbit hole of how communication could evolve beyond body language, speech, and reading/writing. Conveying emotion directly sounds incredible, especially when considering the visuals and other potential sensory information possibly transmitted.

Though, there are probably some awful discoveries about humans to be had even with the best intentions. Still I’m a proponent of truth over comfort and I hope your idea can be realized.

Just don’t be shocked when average people have a highlight reel of primal sexual thoughts on repeat, totally superficial programming or constant crippling quiet anxiety.

We often present in a way that society approves of or in a way that engages society in a beneficial way to us. The inner thoughts aside. To reveal that, could change the perspective on even loved ones.

I’m implying that most of the issues of the world are from corporations and billionaires working with the government of each major nation to hoard wealth.

All of our resources should be spent on reducing government power across the globe and instilling the will of the people.

Stuff like this is not relevant in those pursuits. Taxes, healthcare, peace, housing, individual rights… frankly anything outside of those topics should be seen as leisure. Which some time should be allotted for, of course.

I also simply take offense anytime people tell others what to think.

Nothing personal. Just my two cents.

Wth kind of waste of resources is this crap? With the argument: think good thoughts? Might want to do a self examination first before recommending to others…

Resoundingly.

It’s all in the name of harm. You can probably group the reasons for the broader picture.

Oh please. Don’t you see they always keep you squeezed just enough so the hopeless balance of inaction is protected?

Finally something worth discussing on this post.

Isn’t it a similar “ego” phenomenon that someone would want the highest difficulty setting to be something they themselves can complete? I fear it’s solely because you get to select the difficulty level that anyone even has an issue with Helldivers.

If you use Call of Duty as the example, they match you with people at your ping and skill level. So why isn’t level 10 on helldivers considered to be the Challenger version of the game. If it followed any similar logic to the bell curve, then very few people should be able to complete it without a coordinated team effort using comms and highly tech focused builds.

Yet I started Helldivers a month ago and have completed a 99% full clear super helldive with 0 deaths with randoms (Fking lidar tower).

Anyways, I’m kind of thinking if they nerf the game it will be too easy. I envy that steep learning curve and great heights by which the game demands you rise.

Unfortunately, developers are left in a position where they have to simply decide. To favor the people who find entertainment in being able to finish the highest difficulty vs. the peoe who desire an never ending demand for evolution to higher skill.

I am happy with the dev team quite a bit due to the fact they do engage and adapt with their community. Much more than other games…
