  • I have to constantly remind myself to treat me like I treat others.

    I do, as well.

    I treat others. I despise myself and have great empathy for others

    I said that to myself before, as well.

    But I discovered my empathy for others became surprisingly more effective after I started an intentional practice of self-empathy.

    but that’s certainly not universal

    Certainly. This is what worked for me, and my relationships.


  • The golden rule does not work. What if I like to be treated like shit?

    Agreed. But it is a good default place to we start.

    The real skill is empathy - to understand how the other person wants to be treated.

    My empathy for others became much more effective after I started practicing empathy for myself.

    It was a bit eye opening, to me, to realize how much impact a practice of self-empathy made in my relationships.










  • This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:

    If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.

    Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.

    1. what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?

    Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.

    What about stocks?

    Better sell some.

    Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?

    Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.

    But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.





  • I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can’t go under water.

    This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.

    We’re not demanding submersible cars, we’re just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.

    I’m confident that there’s going to be a great deal of broken… everything…built with AI “assistance” during the next decade.
