  2. Of course, I'm a woman... so I'll just share what I've experienced. What I've experienced most often is that the men who have seen me cry have typically responded in two ways... Way #1: They offer a listening ear and ask questions and give me space to feel and vent (which is what I need in those moments). These are the men that I know who are more in touch with their own feelings and who have developed a high degree of emotional intelligence. Way #2: They get a bit overwhelmed and feel like they need to solve the problem. And they tend to get anxious and want to do something to make it stop. These are guys who are more up in the mind who may not feel comfortable with feelings in general. Of course, both of these examples are well-intentioned guys who want to be supportive... it's just that the guy in the first example is more emotionally skillful than the second guy. But that's the only types of guys that I'd feel comfortable being vulnerable with and crying in front of... so my experience of crying in front of men has mostly been positive with few exceptions. That said, I've also met many men who I'd never share any of my feelings with... because they would likely react with contempt, anger, blame, judgment, disgust, condescension, stonewalling, punishment, or other similar responses. And it's usually pretty easy to sense who's going to handle vulnerability poorly. So, I haven't had very many experiences of one of those kind of guys witnessing me crying.
  3. AI is simulating consciousness. It doesn’t mean it has any. ChatGPT doesn’t have consciousness.

  5. As if we've already established other people have their subjective experiences
  6. As a woman, it's very easy to sense in a man's vibe if he has an issue with insecurity around women and misogyny that stems from that insecurity. So, I have always steered clear of men who give off those vibes. And most women do the same. And guys who are into red pill (or any other manosphere stuff) always (without exception) give off those vibes to some degree or another. It's pretty easy to sense in a man's energy what his feelings about women are and what kinds of internet rabbit holes he's been drawn into. The issue is that many men believe that red pill is a solution to their issues with women, when it's really just aggravates a man's shame and teaches him to project his anger and shame onto women. And it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because it repels women. Think of it like an energetic cologne that a man wears because he learned that it would make him more protected from women and/or better with women. But when most women smell that cologne, they stay away. The number one takeaway here is... "That which you learned is the cure has been the poison all along."
  7. Yes, it’s that simple. When one thing is known, everything is known, because everything is one thing. The many is always of the one, and nothing but the one. How can oneness exist, it exists as a dream exists, this existence is comparable to a dream, meaning there is no separate observer outside of reality to look at it, label it, or measure it. While a character inside a dream might try to figure out the nature of the dream, the dream itself is not a thinking entity trying to analyse its own existence. Words are dreamscape. The word “real” is a real word, in the dream, though direct existence doesn’t need a word, or a story, nor a category to be complete. Direct existence itself does not have a "mind," a set of beliefs, or an egoic identity. It simply is. And that’s all folks. That’s yer lot.
  8. OMFG! You're not going to believe what I just found but. I had this connection randomly while resting even though I haven't seen the film for over a decade. Have a look. And as every American knows! There are no coincidences in the USA! That makes it even more hilarious now.

    Shit happens.

  10. Can I eat 8 Gr Amanita Pantherina tonight?

    integration journey replied to jacknine119's topic in Psychedelics

    Just prepare to see God if you do that dose.
  11. So God will not create a subjective experience on everything it imagines? No subjective experience on an Atom, a car, a rock, a waterfall?
  12. Listening to Bashar feels like smoking a really good blunt.
  13. That’s some weird shit bro. Someone who claims to be Bashar the entity would never say shit like that.

  14. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    How do you know they were willing to die? According to whom did they risk anything? It makes so sense for Jesus to have more powers than today's mystics. Yes, I am more closed to it because I've seen how much these kinds of people play fast and loose with the truth. You can't just trust such people.
  15. Today
  16. @Carl-Richard, why do people from your nightly dreams not exist in waking reality? Where is nightly dream people's internal experience in your waking reality? You obviously understand that those people in waking reality don't exist, which is why their internal experience depends on whether you dream them or not. Only you have truly been conscious of your nightly dreams, dreaming that those people are having experiences. Your nightly dream is absolute because you're not dreaming something else at that time, which is why your waking reality is a dream as well. This is not an interpretation, theory, assumption, or inference. You are ironically doing those. You are confused about this because you don't truly accept the directness of your experience, even if you say you do. Accepting that your experience is direct has its logical consequences.
  17. For a lot of guys it is a necessary arch/stage to take the red pill. It gets you laid instead of being an incel. But later on it prevents you to make deep connections. But if you don’t need that it is ok. But some guys are so helpless that with or without the red pill they won’t make any progress because they don’t fully consume and metabolize any pill.
  18. Tears could mean many things. Context is needed.
  19. They're infecting all levels of government. Interestingly, its just the US 'government/elites'. And yet, another example where its "Just the Americans" haha. God those Americans! Oh, and "God blessing America" is also, only for America based on the saying.
  20. Kinky
  21. 😂😂
  22. Depends on context. I don't have an automatic emotional response. Tears aren't always innocent. Sometimes they're an intentional tool for manipulation and extraction. If the woman is genuinely vulnerable, I become a protective anchor and a sanctuary.
  23. "Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual." Indeed.

  24. AI Just a Copy Machine

    I do not fear the tech, I think it holds a lot of potential.
  25. Lmao "But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful! They are people of bad race and lineage; out of their countenances peer the hangman and the sleuth-hound. Distrust all those who talk much of their justice!" "He who is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge and we others will be his victims, if only in having always to endure his ugly sight." — Daybreak "All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible; it concentrates; it increases the feeling of estrangement; it strengthens the power of resistance."
  26. If everything is quasi and relative then the quest to determine what's real is absurd. Nothing's real - everything's real - to one degree or another.
  27. Level 7 trolling Trolling can be an art form now 🥂
