  1. Past hour
  2. Even if it's not intentional, it's usually driven by unconscious selfishness and malice on the expense of another. And that drive often points to a dark place inside the person doing it, like an unresolved trauma or an innate evil. It's like a lite version of trolling and bullying. Those who do it get a little enjoyment off of it. A huge red flag to watch out for.
  3. Reddit is genuinely bad for the internet overall. Its turning people into brainrotted losers.
  4. I would define it as radical breaking through of the boundaries that was held in place by consciousness. Such as going beyond human consciousness. Going from human to God is an "insane" process what is insane for a human is sane to God
  5. Good, i approve shaming genocide deniers. Maybe through emotional suffering, they will wake up.

  6. I have two options.

    Honestly, I think you have a better chance of changing that at university than outside of it. At least that’s the case here. Does your school not have societies, parties, events etc. that would allow you to build up a solid social network?

  7. Shit tests and compliance

    Joseph Maynor replied to AION's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    This is a red flag for me. I don't like the push and pull, hot and cold. It is like someone is wobbling the relation. I don't like to be messed with this way emotionally.
  8. @AION I think it’s an unnecessary concept for dating skills .
  9. Right now I feel Eros affecting my heart (what I do about that externally is another topic), but I would like transmute it into Agape. I see a chance for spiritual growth here. Any suggestions on how to use it constructively?
  10. That’s a great way to put it. My very first psychedelic trip I have ever done left me completely motionless and speechless. Insane degree of consciousness, but no way possible to live life as a human that way.
  11. @something_else Dude i am a 23 years old virgin, I can afford staying a virgin for many years to come while I continue on higher education, it's fucking up my whole psyche.
  12. To me insanity means you are hindered from taking care of the practical affairs of life to a greater or lesser degree.
  13. guys shit test each other too though...
  14. How would you define insanity?
  15. Today

    I find it hard to tell where pickup theory draws the line between a “shit test” and: Playful teasing Rejection Actually insulting you I’ve experienced the first a lot, but that just seems like normal flirting. It also doesn’t really seem to be what people mean by a shit test. The second and third, though, often seem to get folded into the concept. If a woman rejects me, I’m not going to keep pursuing because “she’s subconsciously testing me.” Even if that were true, I don’t want to engage with that kind of game when there are plenty of women who don’t do it. Same with outright insults. Why interpret hostility as hidden interest when I can spend my time on women who are clearly interested and enjoyable to be around? My theory is that “shit tests” mostly exist in the context of cold approach. Women understandably have a defensive response to random men approaching them while they're going about their day, and handling that response well can sometimes build attraction. But that makes the behaviour more a product of the way you’re meeting women than some pervasive female tendency. I’ve never really experienced it at all meeting women through friends, parties, night clubs, or dating apps.
  17. How so? There’s a difference between a girl intentionally playing games or doing things to test your confidence and value, versus you simply overthinking the situation and it all being in your head as the guy.
  18. Lifestyle and vision of masculinity. I hold a fairly conservative and naturalist point of view so I think it might contrast with what is usually heard here, in the personal development space in general, and what you’ve promoted yourself; so it could well be interesting. It could be politics too.
  19. No. It's a real phenomenon unrelated to insecurity. And whether it's done consciously or not does not diminish it or minimize its effects. It would help to be aware of it when it's being done to you. That awareness is part of social skills.
  20. I will contemplate this while on a trip. That’s the way to go. A change of state of consciousness is required.

  21. What is some music you like?

  22. @Mellowmarsh I don't have access to what you are seeing now, but you do, could you elaborate on your visual field in relation to mine?
  23. It’s not necessary to become insane to become awake or enlightened. But Some psychedelics are dangerous like Salvia and can fuck with your mind . also existential ruminating about solipsism and such can disturb your mind .

  24. I have two options.

    It depends entirely on you, what you're studying, and whether you can realistically fund your music and social life with the kind of job you could get without higher education. Both paths are valid, and neither is final. You can always change direction if the one you choose isn't working. There's a solid argument for getting a degree, working a high-paying job for a few years, and building up savings. That can give you the money and stability to fund your hobbies and make turning one of them into a career much more realistic than if you're scraping by on a low income. That's roughly where I am now. I got a degree, worked for several years as a software engineer, and that gave me the financial stability to experiment with hobbies and side projects. It also gave me enough money to travel, live somewhere nice, and build a great social life. The business I'm working on now also requires reasonable capital to start, so it would have been much harder to bootstrap it without a solid job behind me. If you're studying for something like engineering, law, medicine, or another credential-based, well-paid career, higher education can be a very good investment. If your degree is less likely to lead to a strong income, then skipping it and focusing on music becomes a much more appealing option. On this point specifically, I don't know how it is where you live, but higher education here is basically a cheat code for a social life.
  25. @Yimpa I am sure that I will get all of my questions answered, in the meantime I was just wondering how our visual fields co-exist or what relation do they have with one another?
  26. @LordFall I like Ben. He's one of the best. The lesson here is to never listen to just one person and make decisions based solely on what they say. Ultimately, you have to make your own decisions because it's your money that you're risking.
  27. @Zeroguy Or maybe when you expand out far enough, you see that Gods will is your will, this IS the universe that you want, also if you are not God, if you are not the universe, than who is? Who else but you?
