I agree regarding Trump.
If he had understood politics, he wouldn't have let the most significant election of all time by stolen in plain sight.

I love this whole concept of mastery. Live would be so boring if you could become good in anything in a matter of days.

Read his book, "Mastery." I have not read his other works, but Mastery is fantastic. Cannot recommend it highly enough to those who are motivated in life and want to do something meaningful (to them or to others).

I also disagree, Obama got elected in 2009 because the people wanted a president that was different from previous presidents, specially after BUSH. Hispanics, Blacks, and Whites wanted Obama because we all imagined Obama was a person that grew up as a poor kid and felt the struggles that poor people go through. Also Obama had great speeches and carried himself like he couldn't be corrupted. Spoke of things from an angle that a white candidate wouldn't be believed. We are very diverse in America and now anyone truly can be president if he or she knows what to say to the people and secretly make friends with the very rich. We will elect the president we want with the elite's permission.

I disagree with this guy. Just because he can't imagine a future where expertise is available through a quick delivery system doesn't mean it cannot ever happen given near infinite time and technology.

I'm a Greek-Cypriot, so i'm lucky enough to have had the option of getting a spot in a Greek public University through good grades in high school. So if you study hard enough in high school you can get into a public university, which is FREE of charge (+ Greece has always been a pretty cheap country to live in). + in the Greek system, you mostly get that general education and not the more focused, specialized education that other countries give. And i think this is great for the first degree…

I'm not convinced that everybody functions like that. I know I don't.

Science is knowing and you can't know about what never happened.
It not about religion, it is about the observable evidence that we have a Maker of the programmable programmed matter inside of us that cannot make or program itself.
There is no way to get a transformation or uniform morphing from variation of the same thing without specific directives.
There is not need to credit objects with what they are not able to do.

One focused on many subjects can develop and learn things just as fast as one focused on a single subject.
@miguelrothe6943
March 7, 2026 at 1:08 pm
highly disputable. Forgive me for reading into your words, I am simply making a general point.
@miguelrothe6943

One would hope that with access to such science and technology we would retain human ambition and possibly move onto something higher than the level at which we are all homogeneous, or at least past where it matters because there is simply so much more to learn. Also, while I do not argue that at the moment the aforementioned ambition and action is based on difference (class, governmental. etc.) the beliefs that a: people can't be reeducated and b: we are soon coming to an omniscient point are

Well that's the message of this video isn't it, one can be a Renaissance man (or woman), but only with the sufficient attention span and determination it requires to master (to gain such a proficient knowledge of something so as to be able to apply it in ingenuitive and field-advancing ways) several fields, sometimes combine them, as in the case of neurobotics. A Da Vinci-esque mastery of a variety of subjects, while important, is simply very difficult, but far from impossible. Nice language OD.
@gjworthington

Neurobotics sounds like skynet to me!
@reedca97
March 7, 2026 at 1:08 pm
i think that there are a lot of people who'd like to think they're a DaVinci,but that is unfortunately not the case.
@WaAaAaAaW
March 7, 2026 at 1:08 pm
So you really think that everyone can be re-educated? Not everyone is born with same intellectual (speaks for itself), creative (speaks for itself too) and emotional (stress resistant, motivation, etc) potential. However, science could possibly, and most likely will in the near or distant future, make people more intelligent, emotionally more resilient and more creative. On that day, we will be (boring? :P) homogeneous creatures without flaws and differences.
@Beemer99
March 7, 2026 at 1:08 pm
Robotics could take care of jobs that don't further the advancement of society, and those people can be re-educated to further progress society. Focus on brains not brawns.

HE is absolutely correct…however, psilocybin mushrooms can help you with higher brain functions that he is talking about, but if you use them the right way. I loved 48 Laws Of Power!
