People who are being harsh on me here are just insecure boys who are projecting out their cultural and personal programming on me and make a lot of assumptions. These boys wouldn’t be able to confront me in real life anyways so I don’t bother arguing with them I am glad that there are men like you who understand what the real strength and authenticity is in a man.

This is merely a possibility, but it could be that the will to live is simply a mechanical, evolutionary phenomenon. We are each of us the result of a multi-billion year chain of organisms which, without exception, lived to reproduce. No exceptions for billions of years. That's plenty of time to weed out the organisms that fail to experience some minimum level of joy in living, at least among the organisms that can be said to have experiences. The fringe case of human suicide could be mentioned, but suicide on humanity's level should be a relatively new phenomenon, evolutionarily speaking. It may just not have been accounted for by selective pressures yet. Though, at the rate we humans are modifying our environment, evolution may not get that chance. In any case, perhaps the will to live resulted from nothing more than the fact that evolution fundamentally selects for life. I'm not prepared to argue this in court, but I think it's worth pondering. -
I think the truth is somewhere on the left, the question is how far on the left. I agree with the Leo's kind of leftism overall, he seems pretty politically based to me

Meditate on the Quantum Field Theory (QFT): Electrons are considered excitations of a single "electron field" that exists throughout the universe, ensuring they all have the same properties. One-electron universe. -
I like Latinas because I vibe with them emotionally very well mostly.

Grok: Communism sounds noble on paper (end exploitation, perfect equality), but logic and history show it fails catastrophically in practice. It requires a powerful state to enforce “from each according to ability, to each according to need”—yet that power concentrates in the hands of a few, destroys incentives to produce, and crushes dissent. Every large-scale attempt (USSR, Maoist China, Cambodia, Venezuela) delivered authoritarianism, famine, and economic collapse, not utopia. Humans aren’t ants; we respond to incentives, property rights, and freedom. Systems that deny those realities don’t “work”—they just kill millions trying. Idealism without realism isn’t good; it’s dangerous. AI might crunch numbers faster than Gosplan ever could—solving the old “economic calculation problem” by simulating supply chains with perfect data—but it can’t fix communism’s fatal flaws. The real barriers aren’t technical; they’re human. People still need personal incentives to innovate, take risks, and exert extra effort. AI can allocate resources “optimally,” but it can’t create value or motivate workers when the reward for genius or hard work is the same as for slacking. Worse, whoever programs or controls the AI becomes the new central committee—now with godlike surveillance and enforcement power. History shows that concentrated power plus utopian goals produces tyranny, not paradise. AI would just make the tyranny more efficient. Communism without markets, prices, or property rights remains incompatible with human nature, no matter how smart the central planner is. -
i also wonder if this journal is bad. since i've been criticised for sharing too many of my experiences. i guess other people do that, too, but i still wonder. i would change the title if i could, though.

for a few weeks now, i've been stuck with this emotion - sometimes more subtle, and i project it onto other stuff, but at its core... i feel so in-secure, so small, so weak, so scared. i don't know if it's good to be studying psychology as someone with her wide array of mental disorders. as though studying psychology would fix that. not studying it wouldn't fix it either, but i guess the immediate incentive to somehow have to fix myself completely (and i feel so broken) is also not helpful....it's such an odd feeling to be mixing my career and my personal life, but it's not like i could make such a decision independent of my personal life, anyway. then again, i have to be something (live somewhere, do some kind of job). and it's not like any of the other things i have done or could do would make me feel any more certain or secure. but we're back to square one: i feel lost. i feel so infinitely lost, and nothing i ever try to do fixes that feeling. i feel so ugly, body image sucks, food sucks. i think i have an ugly personality, too. i'm a horrible person. i'm pretty sure all the other students think i'm mean, awkward, weird, egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic, selfish. i just feel so much tension and it's almost like i was just thrown into a weird reality that i'm desperately trying to understand, let alone master, i'm trying to do everything right, but i can't, and i'm just desperate. i tried to tell myself earlier to remember that i am Love, every fibre of my being is made of Love, and maybe that would help. it doesn't. i'm so stressed out even at the fact of my existence, i can't make sense of it. massive overload. which is nothing new at all, but it always feels new, i always envision it as this grandiose, new realisation about how everything's not okay. crisis always feels so immediate, even though it's really just my way of being at this point. mood swings are also crazy atm.

Another way to look at this would be that if in death we will become pure consciousness, then a stone which was never in a state of living is also pure consciousness. That means its dead but god at the same time. Ima just meditate this one out yall; maybe attain some juicy insights -
Like Leo was ever Liberal, he was a bit liberterian, but that's right wing not liberal.

Personally, I think human language is basically just noise emanating out of absolute silence , much a do about nothing. Belief in the meaning of sound is what humans cling to, else what is the mind meant to do with nothing? Every blah blah blah sounds convincing and better than nothing. I’m sure a chirping bird or a barking dog feels the exact same sense of importance a musing human does when they make a noise, which is just sound heard as words. -
The visual patterns had the structure in the image below, however they spanned vertically, like a sine or cosine wave pattern, branching out of the middle of my sight like the feathers of an open wing of a bird without converging at a single point, like it is portrayed in the image below.

There are online talks about discovering Who are the men involved with this Crimes. I am not specialist in Technology but I question myself if even the Epstein Listed people are not being in jail for what they did. Imagine the ordeal will be to discover and expose and punish people who were sharing this crimes in a Whatsapp Group. It would demand a integrated force of many tech people amd more many other professionals. -

Yes he said that he asked himself without pause: who I am, etc, but in the text that I quoted he exposed an opposite idea. Ramana isn't clear, he's intentionally confusing and mysterious, when the topic is clear, direct, simple. Reading what he said seems that he was confused. He talked about reincarnation, mashamadi, he said that he enlightened a cow, or that his mother ended the wheel of incarnations. Bit weird right? -
I noticed it seems to work in the personal development forum, though, which is probably why this message was moved here

Definition πλάσσω (plássō) → plasma — “to mold, shape” Plasmism is a worldview in which all cognition and behavior are products of shaping forces (“plasma” in the Greek sense of being molded). In this framework, everything you think or do comes from influences acting on you. Randomness may exist, but it is not something you control, and “willpower” is not an independent force—it is just the result of certain influences becoming stronger and more stable than others. This worldview states: (1) Free Will is illusory (2) Randomness exists (but is non-agential) (3) Influence is king. Influence here means any factor that affects what you think or do. This includes: External influences (environment, people, situation) Internal influences (genetics, conditioning, biology) Abstract influences (beliefs, ideas, identity) Not all influences are equal, some are stronger than others and behavior follows whichever set of influences has the greatest combined strength. Explanation Illusory Free Will According to Plasmism, free will does not exist. Every decision, thought, and action is the result of influences acting on you. When you make a decision, what is actually happening is that multiple influences are pushing you in different directions. The one that ends up being strongest is what determines what you do. “Willpower” does exist in a sense, but only as an appearance. Someone with “strong willpower” is just someone whose internal influences (discipline, habits, identity, conditioning) are strong enough to override competing influences. Someone with “weak willpower” has weaker internal influences or stronger opposing ones. For example, if you choose between a green apple and a red apple, that choice may be influenced by things like: “I like green more than red” “Green apples are healthier” “I’ve never tried this before” “Someone told me to pick this one” You follow whichever set of influences ends up being strongest in that moment. Randomness Randomness may exist in reality, meaning that even if conditions are the same, outcomes might still differ slightly. However, in Plasmism, randomness does not give you control. At most, it slightly shifts how strong certain influences are or pushes a decision one way or another when things are close. So whether randomness is significant or not doesn’t really matter here because it still doesn’t create free will. Influence is King This is the core idea of Plasmism. Everything you do comes from competing influences. At any moment, you can think of different actions as competing against each other. Each one is backed by a set of influences, and whichever side is stronger is what you end up doing. So it’s : “This had the strongest influence on me at that moment” Practical Applications The real power of Plasmism lies in understanding and working with influences. A good example is the Hungry Judge Effect, where judges tend to make harsher decisions when they are hungry or tired. Most of them would not agree that something like hunger is affecting their judgment that much, but it clearly does. Even if we consider that scheduling (wanting to get done with one prison before meal break so the judge can start with another) influenced the decision of the judge to grant parole or not, the point still stands. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_judge_effect) You are constantly being influenced by things you don’t even notice. Environment Your environment heavily influences your thoughts and actions over time. The idea of “clean your room” works because your surroundings act as constant influences: A clean environment would push you toward order and action A messy environment would push you toward laziness and avoidance It has always been said that bad company leads to worse outcomes and good company leads to better ones. Plasmism explains this by stating that people around you are strong sources of influence that shape your trajectory. Procrastination Plasmism states that there are influences pushing you to do the task (goals, pressure, identity) and influences pushing you to avoid it (comfort, distraction, fatigue). You procrastinate when the avoidance influences are stronger. The solution is changing the influence balance instead of 'trying harder': Remove influences that push you to procrastinate Add influences that push you to act When the balance shifts, you will act automatically. Comfort Comfort is a very strong influence. Humans naturally move toward the path of least resistance. You eat bad food because it is easier to access. You avoid work because distractions are easier to engage with. Your behavior follows whatever is most convenient within your environment. Reinforcement Some influences get stronger over time. Repeated behaviors become habits Exposure increases preference (what advertisements target) Biological drives combine with learned patterns: For example, something like lust starts as a biological influence, but over time it can combine with habits and conditioning to become much stronger and harder to resist. Over time, these influences stabilize and start to dominate behavior. Shaping Influence If everything is influence, then the way to change your behavior is to shape your influences. Remove bad influences where possible Introduce good influences Make good actions easier and bad actions harder You can also create internal influences. For example, if you decide that a certain idea or principle is good, and you consciously affirm it(for eg. Verbally), that acts as a reinforcing influence in your mind. It doesn’t magically control you, but it increases the likelihood that you act in line with it. Media and Attention Things like short-form content expose you to a constant stream of influences in a very short time. This can heavily shape your attention, preferences, and behavior. Music and art also influence you deeply. What you consume repeatedly will shape how you think over time. One method that has worked well for me is to find a piece of music or a stotra/chant that I believe to be a good influence in line with my goals, and before listening to it, I verbally say to myself, "I allow this music/stotra to influence me deeply". Closing I decided to create this new label because the idea of Plasmism brings together ideas that people already recognize and puts them under one system. Once you start looking at things this way, the focus shifts from trying to change yourself to changing what influences you which I think is how most people end up achieving what they achieve.

How tf do you even respond to such horrible actions? Its not even like petty theft which can be mitigated by economic improvement, these guys are absolute sadists who do it for the psychological high alone and economics / education etc seems to make little difference. Plus the nature of these crimes make them hard to track by definition. I’m at a loss here. Just incredibly fucked up. -

It's a natural consequence of multiplicity emerging from a very special type of infinity, a unity lacking any division. This emergence is ongoing, eternal, always and forever. Each individual of the collective must, necessarily, push beyond itself, and the others to receive its vitality from the source, while simultaneously, the eternal-one, is rejecting it. The imagery/metaphor traditionally used are seroents striking at their source which is always and forever "turning the other cheek", permitting the snakes to cleave and receive nourishment. The will to live is this simultaneously leaping-striking-and-cleaving force.
