  1. Past hour
  2. @LordFall I'm speaking from the consumer perspective. If you're a creator then it makes sense to be on instagram. My point is the platform leverages everything it can to hijack people's minds and keep them hooked.
  3. Yes. I did million times, and every time lost the battle. Then I give up.
  4. Are you purely a consumer or do you post content as well? If you're bored with your life and scroll Instagram to feel better and you get triggered seeing people living their best lives then of course it's gonna lead to the result you just shared lol. Instagram has made me multiple tens of thousands of dollars. If you're using it wrong blame yourself not the platform. Television was similarly brain rot entertainment much before any type of social media app was released.
  5. Mind is an hungry animal, if you resist or try to fix it, it gets feed, gets bigger. If you don't react, don't feed, it dies. If you push, it pushes harder.
  6. Frequently using social media is the recipe for a tormented mind. The algorithm will suck your soul and transform it in fuel for Zuckerberg's mega-yacht. It's like alcohol, there is no healthy dose for it; anything above zero starts to be harmful. The only way to use it safely is if you could completely control what is shown to you. Still possible in websites like YouTube if you block the home page and other recommendations. Using instagram on your phone is the opposite of control.
  7. I think doing a temporary detox can be helpful if you get triggered by seeing people live better lives than you. Not being on social media is a death sentence to having a big impact in the world. I would take time to reground yourself and then come back stronger when your psyche is less reactive. What type of content do you feel like triggered you the most?
  8. When you meet enough women you realize there is a massive variety of them and just being attracted to beauty won't get you the kinds of high quality relationships that are possible in this world. I've met enough random girls to start being very turned off by randomness. I like to be very intentional in my life overall but even more-so in my dating life.
  9. Every function of body belongs to it, not you. Consider thinking as heartbeat, out of control. Nothing can be done about it.
  10. Leo, I emailed support twice over the last few months with no response so I wanted to bring it up here. I bought the LPC long ago, 2018 I believe, and recently my girlfriend realized it was a good choice for her and I wanted to buy it as a gift. What I didn't realize is that since I used the same PayPal account, it just added it to my account and charged the full price. I would like a refund as she ended up buying it with her own PayPal account. If you need any info from me just respond below Warmly, Paul
  11. Oh nice I will try this too
  12. These are still language models getting larger with new versions but fact remains that model interacts with tokens not "world". Edit: looks like it's been settled already.
  13. Same here. I only use it on the laptop, and I have custom TamperMonkey scripts to prevent the explore page from running, and the home page from showing anything (whenever I open instagram it's an empty page — which prevent the algorithm from distracting me). I can then see messages without seeing any post or content.
  14. yeah, that is legit the way it seems. I plan to upload from my browser. so much easier to ignore all the filth this app peddles.
  15. @LordFall Bro... Dating isn't about connecting with God and spirituality. Most girls are shallow and dumb af. We here on actualized.org are the top notch intellectuals of the planet. Most girls aren't like that lmao.
  16. Yeah I just post my material then delete it instantly after.
  17. I've decided to delete this app. I believe it does more harm than good. For what I'm doing I don't need it on my main phone. Has anyone decided to detox fro social media and short form videos? I believe I'm done for good with the app. It is just a gross place and it's not worth being there for me anymore.
  18. Yeah, I vaguely recall that realization. It was a complete mindfuck. It’s like an alien mind took over and “I” became infinitely intelligent of what everything and nothing was. All material reality completely annihilated. It’s completely out of the realm of human sanity and intelligence. No human can ever grasp this. Psychedelics didn’t cause this realization. I’m completely dumbstruck with how I became conscious of that realm.
  19. Man, you've never met a hot girl and then when she speaks you lose like half your attraction to her? Happens to me all the time lol, I'm definitely more of a sapiosexual than the average man though. I get the ick all the time from chicks that seem hot and then say something really dumb or seem arrogant and not willing to change their minds on stuff when proved wrong. We could even link social calibration to mental health. An unstable chick can present well visually and once you know her for a few hours then the facade sometimes breaks apart quite suddenly. A common example are party girls that start doing really unhinged things or are addicted to vaping/drinking in a compulsive way as opposed to just casual enjoyment. Verbal game is key for men but looking good gives you an initial hook and you start off way higher in the girls' mind compared to wearing dad jeans and looking like a bozo.
