We have to follow love yes; the affects we are seeking.

I don’t know what you are talking about. Nowadays I don’t even have to do pickup. Women make moves on me. But usually they are mid to be honest.

The meaning of life is subjective. In other words, it's what YOU say it is. This is how I've thought about this for a long long time now -

I picked up Atomic Habits by James Clear just yesterday because I'm concerned about my bad habits which are ruining my ability to be effective in the world. Has anyone else read this book as has it worked for you?

There's truth to that. And I see that my judgement is superficial. I don't have the same reaction if I see, or better hear, Ukrainian immigrants. They are morally further developed. Sadly, I have seen quite some trouble with people coming from the south (gangs, violence, vandalism, littering, rape, unwillingness to integrate) You gotta amid that there a huge problems with that. -

@integral Love it. Understood on predicate vs foundational. And I appreciate the kataphatic/apophatic distinction. I don’t think I’m necessarily advocating either position, though. I’m really just taking the original premise seriously: strip away all stories and interpretations, and attend to the bare actuality of experience. From that perspective, it’s hard to say anything about what’s left without adding another conceptual layer. Not that those concepts are necessarily wrong. But there’s something prior to all of them. Clap. Just that. The happening itself. I imagine you already appreciate this distinction. For me, though, it’s just so easy to forget. As for existence being its own meaning, I’m pretty okay with that if we’re granting that there’s meaning in the first place. But I find it interesting that I can envision existence without meaning (e.g., a material universe without conscious observers. Though, amusingly, that’s being imagined…), whereas I can’t envision meaning without existence. Existence seems prior to meaning, just as it seems prior to learning, or exploring, or any other purpose we might propose. I think your original point was that any of those other meanings we might propose are missing the mark. It’s just this, existence. I would tend to agree there. Though perhaps someone with God consciousness will correct us there. Maybe it’s love. Maybe it’s 42. As always, IDK, I think. -
@AtmanIsBrahman I don't think it is possible to have a stage red worldview, in the 21st century. Stage red is animalistic, it views the world in terms of victims and predators. It's a very primitive stage. Rap music isn't stage red by any means. Most people we would call stage red these days are brainwashed with science, capitalism, religion, etc... they are mostly stage orange. Even pure stage blue is very rare these days, to have your whole worldview based on mythology. Most people even if they're religious, are stage orange, because they're brainwashed with materialism as a metaphysics and science through the education system.

Do you feel it is important to integrate stage red?

Yes my nigga points his Uzi*

@AtmanIsBrahman I think a lot of art is a depiction of our unconscious. Rap music depicts our violent repressed because socially unacceptable fantasies. That's what draw the listeners. I don't think the idea that stage red is a stage you pass through is accurate. Sure throughout history, the past is generally more violent, although that's debatable given the scale of atrocities possible to commit with the power that technology gives. However i think what we consider stage red is just another concept for the word evil. We all have a dark side, consciously or unconsciously that is often times repressed. With art like rap music we're able to explore it more deeply and freely.

The core of red is impulsivity and short-term focus, present-moment concerns, which is what drives the egocentrism ("me and my concerns right now over anyone elses or me in the future or the larger social good or the superego or societal expectations). Drinking, partying, having promiscuous sex, doing wild challenges ("russeknuter"), and of course illegal drug use is common, and violent crime is elevated (violent crime in general peaks at around 18-25 and drops afterwards). Mhm, and in what way is it less mature? Perhaps that's what I've been describing with the concepts I presented? Downward-assimilation, the distinction between cultural code and cognitive complexity? In other words, a 3 year old has the cognitive complexity of yes a 3 year old while the cultural code (the language, the terms, the words) of Green was created by individuals with much higher cognitive complexity and our children are fed (or assimilate) dumbed-down versions of those concepts. Just because you have "gender fluidity" in your vocabulary does not mean you have the cognitive complexity at meta-systematic (level 13 in the MHC) where you genuinely see large systemic connections and you can produce original ideas in that domain. The distinction between cultural code and cognitive complexity is essentially the distinction between semantics and syntax. Just because you can adopt a word or concept does not necessarily mean you see a high level of connections to that concept. A 1-year-old mouthing "mama" does not betray a 80-year-old great grandmother's understanding of "mama". Even in the most simplistic societies, the understanding is miles apart.

@AION same. Sometimes God speaks through me but I misspell some of his points.

Yes you attract what you are, not what you want. The self is improvable though. Having a bad mindset is not a problem unless you refuse to change it. That's why self-awareness is the best place to start. Write your dream life and then strategize on what skills you need to develop to get there. By nature I'm quite shy, awkward and introverted. I'm built up such a big network and advanced social skills that usually extroverts don't believe me that I'm an introvert that mostly likes to stay home by himself. Throwing 1-2 cool events a month still involves mostly chilling at home and thinking on how you can make your own event better. Ironically extroverts find that part boring so most networks and events are built by introverts.

You don't know Sweden man hahah. People have low social skills here, it is a shy culture. They rarely talk deep stuff with strangers. The swedes who do that are usually coming from multicultural families or they lived in other exotic countries and culture shocked themselves into correcting their anti-social behavior. It is the only big problem I see with this country. Otherwise cool people. They just need to open themselves and improve their inter-personal skills. This is why it is soo important to live in countries that are totally different than yours and learn their culture. Moving to Sweden, from Romania, completely changed my life. I will never be the same again, in a good way.

@Schizophonia The rap of drug users not drug dealers 😝.
-
@Alexop I make good points all the time but sometimes I have trouble with formulating them
-
It is okay man. It also is a challenge for me to put out vulnerable parts of myself and receive shit from people and not get triggered. It is a way to test my confidence. @AION makes good points sometimes.

Red or Orange ya. Sometimes there’s some green; that’s called white-people rap.
