Not severed - just not generated or considered, irrelevant or secondary - unless someone else is processing them. Severed implies that something inherent or necessary is being removed. Think about what good actors do in their roles. They deliberately create them on the spot as the character demands. The great ones have mastered their emotional dispositions in their craft. -
Marxists are not violent because they are vengeful. They are violent because they do what's necessary. This image of the vengeful marxist is fabricated. This image of the irresponsible marxist is fabricated. This image of the paranoid marxist is real. You will realize that the paranoia of marxist leaders is extremely justified when you learn about the brutality of the west against it's enemies. Look at the Ayatollah. A little bit more paranoia and he might have lived a little longer. When analyzing failures of past communist states it always has to be looked at from the context which is that the west was doing everything in their power to make sure they fail. Also their material conditions were shit at the beginning but they pretty much always managed to rapidly improve regardless; even under the pressure from the west. When you do a real analysis you will realize that these states were and are managed reasonably well. If you distribute power you will just have liberalism. The ideal realistic government needs to be one disciplined, centralized marxist-leninist party with absolute power as long as capitalism still has this much power in this world. The notion that absolute ideologial power corrupts necessarily is a lie invented to defame communist states. The reason why marxists tend not to get corrupted by ideology is because they care way more about analysis then about identity. How do I know this? Because I'm like this.

I disagree entirely. It is hubris to me to think we can listen and be severed from emotion. There is awareness of them, which can lead to spaciousness. And they are generated by us. This does not mean there is control. C'est la vie -

It reads as unecessarily hostile. -

Hey guys, I'm looking for participants for a research project I am working on. I am currently the primary investigator of a research project on mindfulness at the University of Missouri. I am trying to understand the role that meditation (or other contemplative practices like Kriya) plays in the meaning of one's life. We are using a short (10-15 minutes) questionnaire to collect data related to contemplative practice, meaning in life, negative/positive emotions, and demographic information. All of the data collected is absolutely anonymous and confidential. It is difficult to find enough serious mindfulness practitioners for a study like this, so I would like to extend my gratitude to those of you who have the time to participate and encourage you to pass it along to anyone you know who engages in spiritual practice! As compensation, there will be a drawing for 10 - $50 Amazon gift cards for everyone who completes the questionnaire. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to message me.

1 There is no evil outside of self-hatred. There is no personality disorder without self-hatred. A demon is a personality disorder. 2 Understanding of nerodivergency is understanding of the self. Understanding of the self is the basis for real self-acceptance which allows for authenticity. Authenticity is what kills demons. -

Truth's useless! And meaningless. And it has no value whatsoever. And it's true.

What is not Truth, that's all. -
Animals are survival machines. They don't know anything about truth. No other possibility exists for them. But you are not an animal. Yes, all finite beings are limited. A finite being cannot be perfectly God-like. But also that is not needed. The point is that humans can become more God-like through truth-seeking. Some degree of hypocrisy is acceptable in mortals. Truth IS the main issue. You're still not understanding how deep the connection between Truth and Good goes. Contemplate the connection deeper. Good is not a social structure. Good is Truth itself.

Sounds good. Share what you find. -
Sorry to ask, but is this your first account here?

There are many kinds of therapists. You can find more conscious and even spiritual therapists and coaches. Just research around more. I do not cover that. You can easily find that on other psychedelic forums. My pleasure. That could certainly work if you do it with serious intention and consistency. Mushrooms are very good for therapeutic work. Just take them in low doses. Much cheaper than therapy.

This is a great post to read, it's about a guy who makes good money who overheard his fiancee talking about settling for him and not being that attracted to him but it works it's fine. https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1rmhy5c/wibtah_if_i_left_my_fiancee_destitute/ I don't think this is something to be too concerned about if you have some decent self-awareness but it's a good example of why learning game and seduction is really important to have a high quality relationship. Otherwise it's very likely that if your partner questions herself if she hasn't already she'll just find you okay but because she's in scarcity like most humans she'll go with it to have a family and a decent standard of living. You can be a fun and exciting guy that learns to flirt with his girlfriend that has shit shit together it's not that hard even though a lot(probably most men) seem to fall short. Level up and become a world class man, I believe in you boys you got this. This subreddit is one of the best ones on all of Reddit as it lets you learn vicariously from other real people's experiences. This relates to my other post on most men having no idea how low level they are; this guy just found the easy way actually. The hard way is when your girl actually cheats you and dumps you in a time of weakness.

The claim being made isn't that every cruel, harmful, or violent act is justified - though that might be assumed. Where do you find morality in babies, for example, or in animals? Does it exist as an object? This isn't incompatible with behaving consciously or with love, or with being sensitive to others. It doesn't mean you turn into a ruthless dictator. But I think your concern relates to how everyone might be "corrupted." This simply means that your operating system is yourself and not the truth. "You can't serve two masters." The Jesus thing.

By not being passive. By interrogating and being critical of the output. It's a reasoning instrument, not an authority. The most powerful use of AI is interactive interrogation. The very fact that everyone is asking "How do we know if we can trust it?" means the idea of epistemic responsibility has gone mainstream. Humans will adapt, just like how they stopped trusting the first answer they saw on Google. AI will eventually normalize interrogating answers. If that happens, it would be one of the biggest shifts in the epistemic environment humans have ever experienced.

I'm having a problem with the there is no morality thing, that's been bugging me. I know that's not true, but I'm trying to figure out what could lead a person to believe that.
