IMO, always forcing calculation of an overall rating would be a mistake, because that's cold machine thinking. Sometimes, to me, things are just both good and bad. Dilemma shouldn't be wiped out of the equation like that, if we don't want to loose the "heart" side of subjectivity.

Yeah haha, good stuff. Checking the new posts now.

For Christmas you will get something today actually. Hold on.

The graph you mention sounds similar to mine you'll see soon, do you have a viz? Or can explain its purpose/what it'd would look like if had a viz? I like viz.

what's your goal lock?

[LOCKSUIT]

AGI, immortality, and women (a huge family of wives in a happy utopia, one big family aligned like magnetic domains/hierarchy) ....among other things, video games, cupcakes, fries, empty homes freshly built, huge palaces, simulators, unseen data, related data, averages etc

Divorce settlements tend to suck. Still, what's more important, material possessions or self worth? When I'm in unpleasant situations I've learned that I feel a lot better If I make the effort (sometimes supreme effort) to end it on a good note. The feeling of having done something worthwhile vs regret makes an immeasurable difference afterwards. Sorry if this is unsolicited advice, didn't want to say nothing though either, were're helping each other build AI after all.

You posted on a public forum so I presume you require some 'old man' advice.

The human brain has many failings, not least of which is its inability to resolve/ predict a positive outcome from a negative experience.  The main culprit for this phenomenon is our innate preferred method of learning from personal experience. When we encounter life experiences that we have no previous personal experience of, the lack of knowledge/ understanding can be translated/ reflected as negative thoughts/ emotions. Human psyches tend to lean towards the pessimistic side of the emotional spectrum; it’s the fear of the unknown quantity that drives these emotions, keep them in check with common sense/ reasoning. 

I’m personally on my third (and by far best) marriage, and whilst I wouldn't take my advice on keeping a woman happy, I will say that although the experience is going to be painful and traumatic keep a level head and be amicable, especially if kids are involved, this is not their fault.

However, once the air has cleared your main consideration should be yourself, take time to get your life back in order, do the things that you want to do and re-build your own sense of singledom… learn from your mistakes and improve.

It works both ways, happiness is also relative to experience, your current idea of happiness may not be the optimum experience, you don't realise this yet because you've not experienced it.

Although the tunnel is long and dark there is always a brighter light at the end of it.

I can't thank you enough.

[WriterOfMinds]

That's rough. Good luck.

Stay strong Zero. Not the best start to a new year, but I am sure you will see the light at the end of the tunnel soon and be stronger for it

When I'm in a bad mood, I try not to think about myself. I try to see whoever is doing worse than me, and I try to help. It doesn't need to be anything big, but trying to do something good usually lifts me up from being depressed. If I, for instance, cache in a dine or two for some charity organization, I may find myself useful and feel worth of living. I don't know why, but it helps me clear up my head from bad thoughts.



... I guess it's a solid ground for me where I once again remember who I really want to be.
