And now the chat GPT becomes an interface to this in which you can specify in many, many ways what the computer should be doing. And chat GPT or some other language model or combination of system is going to take care of the rest.
I don't know of that limitation. So when I currently play with it, it's quite limited. I wish that it was way better.
No, of course it's always my fault. There's probably a way to make it work better.
Yes, everything is my fault. That doesn't work in my life. At least that is usually the most useful perspective for myself. Even though with hindsight, I feel no. I sometimes wish I could have seen myself as part of my environment more. and understand that a lot of people are actually seeing me and looking at me and are trying to make my life work in the same way as I try to help others.
And making this switch to this level three perspective is something that happened long after my level four perspective in my life. And I wish that I could have had it earlier. And it's also not now that I don't feel like I'm complete. I'm all over the place. That's all. Yeah.
No, you can be happy at any stage or unhappy. But I think that if you are at a stage where you get agency over how your feelings are generated, and to some degree you start doing this when you leave a dollar sense, I believe, that you understand that you are in charge of your own emotion to some degree and that you are responsible for
how you approach the world that it's basically your task to have some basic hygiene how in the way in which you deal with your mind and you cannot blame your environment for the way in which you feel but you live in a world that is highly mobile and it's your job to choose the environment that you thrive in and to build it and sometimes it's difficult to get the necessary strength and energy to do this and independence and the worse you feel the harder it is
But it's something that we learn. It's also this thing that we are usually incomplete. I'm a rare mind, which means I'm a mind that is incomplete in ways that are harder to complete. So for me, it might have been harder initially to find the right relationships and friends that complete me to the degree that I become an almost functional human being.
I think that my rational thinking is not good enough to solve that task. A lot of problems in my life that I can conceptualize as software problems and the failure modes are bugs and I can debug them and write software that take care of the missing functionality. But there is stuff that I don't understand well enough to use my analytical reasoning to solve the issue.
And then I have to develop my intuitions and often I have to do this with people who are wiser than me. And that's something that's hard for me because I don't have, I'm not born with the instinct to submit to other people's wisdom.
I found love was never hard.
Fitting into a world where most people work differently than you and have different intuitions of what should be done.
But it's also aesthetics. When you come into a world where almost everything is ugly and you come out of a world where everything is beautiful. I grew up in a beautiful place as a child of an artist. And in this place, it was mostly nature. Everything had intrinsic beauty and everything was built out of an intrinsic need for it to work for itself.
Everything that my father created was something that he made to get the world to work for himself. And I felt the same thing. And when I come out into the world and I am asked to submit to lots and lots of rules, I'm asking, okay, when I observe your stupid rules, what is the benefit? And I see the life that is being offered as a reward. It's not attractive.
Yes, but it also means that I'm often blind for the ways in which everybody is creating their own bubble of wholesomeness, or almost everybody, and people are trying to do it. And for me to discover this, it was necessary that I found people who had a similar shape of soul as myself.
So basically, I felt these are my people, people that treat each other in such a way as if they're around with each other for eternity.
Sometimes it's instantly, and I'm wrong, and sometimes it takes a long time.
Yes, but I also noticed that I have been wrong. So sometimes I look at a person and I'm just enamored by everything about them. And sometimes this persists and sometimes it doesn't. And I have the illusion that I'm much better at recognizing who people are as I grow older.
No, it's not cynicism. It's often more that I'm able to recognize what somebody needs when we interact and how we can meaningfully interact.
Yes. I'm much better, I think, in some circumstances at understanding how to interact with other people than I did when I was young. So that takes us to... It doesn't mean that I'm always very good at it.
