I would buy a monkey if I really wanted a pet. Monkeys are fun.

No you hypothesized that strong egos accomplish more, and I propose the antithesis: not only the difference between what a weak ego and a strong ego produce will be qualitative rather than quantitative, but a weak ego will actually produce denser things because the weaker an ego is the more it can dedicate its attention to dense external objects. Symbols capture attention, leaving less for the imagination of the self; this is what Lacan would call the supremacy of the symbolic order. And to support my example, I would say that the people you mentioned don't produce anything particularly beautiful or intelligent, and some are even heirs to wealthy families (Trump, Musk, and that Saudi prince already; I don't know about the others, but probably more or less). Resisting the Nazis and enduring torture like Jean Moulin requires very little ego. Spending decades working on nuclear fission like Marie Curie requires little ego. Being a great doctor/surgeon, sleeping poorly and constantly using caffeine to learn, and later caring for patients in a university hospital requires little ego. Being a great philosopher who produces many concepts—I won't list them, I have too many in my head—requires little ego. Being a good horseman or gardening and creating beautiful things requires little ego. All of these are truly accomplishments; beautiful and intelligent things, or simply things that make oneself and others happier. All the people you mentioned are, once again, heirs and/or swindlers, often with legal problems, and/or people who produce "meh" stuff that only losers consume. You haven't enriched your own thesis or even accepted mine; you've simply launched an ad hominem attack, calling me pedantic. Which is probably true to some extent since you find it logical to projecting that onto me, but that doesn't invalidate what I'm saying.

My ex-gf bought a bee hive. Then her bees ran away.

Sorry, I was looking for a pretext to share that clip.

This is the most honest and direct he has ever been. He is essentially telling us that we are not in control.
-
That is not the definition. If that was the case they'd just sit at home with a mirror. Lower stages have a lack of self love. As self love increases, ego dissolves.
-
going to watch it now. Is it unhealthy behavior to have sex with an hive mind ?
-
Tate is a total narcissist full stop, he luv's himself more than anything, and goes out to make others luv him too which enhances his ego and narcissism problem.. Loving Yourself is also a form of insanity and creates more ego problems!
-
Like why do you own mostly dog or cats and not a whole ass bee-hive inside your house?
-
Remember kids if the music isn't making you wanting to punch walls and murder people, what you listen to is G.A.Y

They wouldn't be dead loi. They would just not be functioning well in a society, I think in severe cases of autism that sort of person is egoless, non existent hence why they cannot relate to their parents or anyone...
-
? No, the very definition of narcissism is the excessive love of one's own image.
-
Well, the degree of conformity is just a function of the degree of development of a society or group of people. I know very well that you can pet an animal in a non-conformist fashion. But my point is that you rarely see that, and the only reason that petting an animal crossed your mind is because of sheer conformity anyways. I am not judging you for that.

Ishanga replied to Butters's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Most ppls thoughts are recycled data, memory coming up within this moment and stealing the moment away from them..This means what happened in the past will happen again now and in the future, so they are ruled by the past, but past does not exist, so they are ruled by something that does not exist which is insanity! Mind is past/memory and future/imagination orientated, not NOW orientated imo! How to have an original thought? This is only done via Awareness, if You highly Aware of What Is and who You are, then You can have original thoughts, as Awareness is a form Intelligence that is not memory based, its fresh, new, creative and Yours to use if You get intouch with it! -
The Stimulation Clicker is crazy!

Zoomer itself is a conformist term.
-
Externalizing love fits perfectly in the narcissistic mind, that's literally their whole psychology in a nutshell. This applies to all lower stages.
-
No one is even clear on what ego means. All humans have an ego or they would be dead. You're talking about abrasively signaling one's false sense of pride; as ego.

All my software is Windows though. That is nearly impossible.

@TheCloud Hm i think it's more of a "letting go" thing than a "denial" thing. You can't just force yourself to not feel a certain way but you can allow yourself to feel like you want to kill yourself or at least the feeling associated with it without resisting after which you then naturally move on from said feeling. And if this reservoir of this specific feeling is very big you'll have to do this multiple times over a certain period if time. This was just a basic explanation tho so if you want to learn more about this kind of stuff try reading the book 'Letting Go' by David R. Hawkins

@Schizophonia You are lost in pedantry, missing the larger point of the examples.
-
And is it even possible? For example: I can imagine a tiny pink elephant in my living room. Why? Because I've seen an elephant, I know the color pink, and I've seen my living room. But this is merely synthesis of existing experiences. This is not an original thought, just a remix. So, I want to know: Is an original thought possible? How do you define it? How is an original thought created? When, where, by what process?
-
Otherwise just read some solid sociology or even psychoanalysis.
-
yes, i've tried ifs before but never gone beyond identifying the conflicting parts.
-
Zoomer words like "cooked", "rizz", "unc", "bro", and also older internet words like "lol", "lmao", "rofl".
