Genuine question: why is there such an outpouring of love for him? I know he was a very successful investor, but what beyond that has garnered him the adulation of so many people?

Many people are overweight by choice in the same way alcoholics or crack addicts are addicted to substances by choice. There are very powerful chemical and subconscious factors at play that make it incredibly difficult to exercise one's will. That semiglutides are proving to be remarkably effective at helping people both make better dietary decisions as well as reduce substance use, should tell you that the problem isn't as simplistic as you've made it out to be.

I don't mean to be facetious in any way, but how does AGI/ASI protect itself from humans simply pulling the plug?

Echoing this. A bit miffed they've invested in an entirely new product without fixing the software issues of the C1.

How do I realistically compete with those who are younger, more nimble, with impressive educational & professional backgrounds? The startup world seems to be far more of a status game nowadays than when I fell in love with it 15 years ago. What does someone with 0 social capital to open doors do, especially at this age?

Why is my post flagged?

Have you tried MDMA?

Expectations (of being an adult with baseline ability to be effective and manage life's responsibilities)

I see this advice a lot and it is incredibly overwhelming to execute. "Quit snacking" alone is a monstrous task.

I'm diagnosed with CPTSD and tried ketamine-assisted therapy for over a year. It certainly helped with awareness and introspection, but has done nothing for actual behavioral modification, sadly. Willing to give MDMA a try but afraid to go underground for it.
