  1. Past hour
  2. Just because someone is doing something that you don't do or prefer doesn't mean they are coming from some trauma, anxiety or core wound/belief, that argument is so lazy and biased.

  4. Point Out My Bias

    Hayato replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Another bias is regarding health. I perceive that Leo thinks that you eventualy lose your health and can't do anything about it. There are tools that work when applied diligently and produce results.
  5. Gaslighting at it's finest. I am totally whole and complete in myself, and it's probably because of this and not in spite of this that i prefer multiple partners. I honestly think most men would have a preference for this if we didn't have societal conditioning that pushes us towards monogamy and marriage. The other problem would be is if society was poly only a few men would have most of the women which most men don't want. Poly men/ players are a threat to society in a sense.
  6. 3:00-3:32 That guitar stuff in the background and the ambient atmosphere is brain-meltingly psychedelic: Perhaps even more powerful if you listen to it in context of the entire song (if you dare).
  7. My vain attempt at self-love: A conversation between me, myself and I I love you. No you don't. Ok, I'm very interested in you in a special way You know nothing about me... Prove it. Well... there's something in the way you move. Not enough. Smell? No. How about the way you you use your words? What's that got to do with love? "A rose, by any other name would smell as sweet" Go on... It means that whatever I call it it's still love, for you. You can't love my words that's silly. Ok, you look nice. Nice. Nice? Nice...!? That's not what I meant. I meant beautiful. No you didn't you said nice... I'm not beautiful. Nicely beautiful? Eurgh. Why don't you just admit it? Admit what? You only love the idea of me! I don't, I mean I do... you know what I mean. You're utterly deluded and you just don't realise it. How can I be deluded when I love you so? You're an idiot and you need your head examined. Pleeeeze! I really do love you. Still an idiot. Anyway I can't. Can't what? Just can't, I'm indisposed permanently and you're not normal. WILL YOU TWO STOP YOUR BICKERING? I'M TRYING TO REACH GODHOOD HERE!!
  8. Concepts are the clothes ego wears.
  9. I will agree with you that some countries and cultures are better than others, but at their core all women are pretty much the same and driven by the same evolutionary wiring, including attraction. Some just have a "thicker shell" from their cultural programming.
  10. Agreed
  11. It's fine I understand what you mean. I'm just arguing for the sake of it. But for the sake of argument if existence is everything without exception, then of course it has meaning, because everything has everything in it. That's the issue with A is B argumentation, once you make A identical to B the argument is meaningless, because to argue something you have to have distinction so you can compare two things. Anyway pedant mode off.
  12. Discipline is not letting the inner child be in charge. You are the adult. You decide when it's time to play.

  13. Leo, which writing app are you using

    Leo Gura replied to Something Funny's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Scrivner
  14. Not sure what you mean ? Can you elaborate.
  15. Today

  16. I interviewed AtmanIsBrahman

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Vido's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I don't think it's one or the other. There is a balance to be found between our unique rhetorical style and accurate expression. Maybe you haven't found that part of your voice/expression yet? It comes with time and practice. Adding flamboyant or interesting and unusual combinations of words to express a concept or idea generates added interest through imagery. You could have a bias to more formality and maybe you prefer that from others?

  17. ADHD - genetics or trauma?

    Carl-Richard replied to Alexop's topic in Mental Health, Serious Emotional Issues

    It's not supposed to be anything. It's literally what you get if you fit x out y symptoms on a diagnostic chart given by your psychiatrist. The fact that it has to have been a problem since early childhood could pull it in the direction of genes, but don't forget that childhood or development didn't start at 3 years old. There is a whole field that studies early parent-child interactions (e.g. attachment theory) and ADHD is linked to insecure attachment styles which can be driven by the environment and the parent-child interactions. There is also the concept of "relational trauma" in this context where the parent fails to give proper care and support for the child's emotional regulation (within a Western and scientific frame of course). Arguably most people think of trauma in an older "veteran PTSD" type of frame (usually involving life-threatening, violent, life-shattering events) but people like Gabor Mate think of them also within a relational frame. Chronic PTSD (C-PTSD) is for example a new diagnosis that tends to be associated with interpersonal trauma (perhaps more in the direction of domestic and verbal violence and abuse than simple lack of emotion regulation support from the parent). ADHD and C-PTSD are strongly linked.
  18. If we only did what we enjoyed, some of us would just be smoking weed, not get around to exercise, not start a business, not be able to travel the world etc etc. (for example, when starting a youtube channel, consistency is quite important) Here's some tips from neuroscience to help transform discipline from this militaristic forceful thing, into an act of self love that your future self will be thankful for.

  19. Journey to Nothing

    LastThursday replied to LastThursday's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Random stuff this morning. I like this photo of me sometime around 1976. It epitomises the warmth and connection to family I had around then. My aunt is carrying me and my sister is tootling around entertaining herself. That rooftop terrace was always hot and we used to love playing up there, it was a safe space for us. My uncle kept pigeons there for racing too. It was my grandparents' apartment block and they lived one floor below the terrace. The terracotta tiles were dusty and scratchy and warm to the touch, the white walls blinding in the sunlight. The sky was always pure blue. In one direction was the sea, in the other a huge imposing citadel on a hill: La Alcazaba de Almería. To my mind as a little kid there was a certain magic to the place, but it was also normality. I miss it.
  20. Thank God.
  21. Quick Google search ;-) Can't directly send you the source link.
  22. I live in Australia and I wanna move to the USA for lifestyle and tripping. But that could be a lot of effort because of loads of logistical, financial, and business issues. In Aus so far as I know we only do mushrooms. Is that enough to realize God? And fulfill spiritual cravings?
  23. This is the fiction.

  24. Point Out My Bias

    Carl-Richard replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I don't think they are actually, it's such a wide term even if you want to be rigorous about it. That it becomes even more wide colloquially is just a symptom of that. I think the way you described your idea of bias (involving judgment, which seems to imply "thinking" rather than more implicit mechanisms) is strictly limited to "cognitive bias". By the way, just a general PSA, I've noticed when you ask AI to compare two things (like a person has done in this thread) and it makes a chart where it compares similar and different traits in the two things, it tends to produce something you'll likely interpret through false dichotomies (it will say "usually/generally" but the table format conflicts with this). That's actually an example of cognitive bias: when things are presented in firm dichotomizing formats like tables, it will promote a dichotomizing understanding of the things. Since AI has trouble understanding context, it will often put things that require nuance in dichotomizing formats leading to a misleading picture.
  25. In my personal observation, there’s absolutely nothing stopping what nothing started. Life doesn’t seem to have a stop button, you cannot just turn it off, it’s unstoppable. Therefore, You’re always free to be, there is no discipline required to be. The human being is free to be irresponsible or responsible, there’s an instantaneous knowing that instantly removes the hand from a boiling hot plate used to cook your food, and to know the consequences of not removing your hand. The choice is always available to us, burn or not burn the hand. It’s the same for every action, don’t do harm to yourself or others or else you hurt yourself. You’re always free to choose because there’s absolutely nothing stopping you from choosing any decision in any moment. That’s how free life is. Even a person in prison for committing the heinous crime of choosing to be a serial killer is still free because they freely chose that decision.

  27. That's should just be how every one of us should post tbh. but ig the forum can get pretty funny to be at times so I don't mind that as well.
