  2. Super El Nino 2026

    pitchell replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    when you tired of the old shit. Tired of regular el ninio, look no further, this year brand new Super El nino!!
  3. The process initially had nothing to do with us until it seemingly did. No one or thing to blame 🤷
  4. Aww that's sweet they care about your well being. Cherish it bro. I totally hear ya though!
  5. Thinking with the socially conditioned mind only created more confusion and questions. Like trying to find an exact location using the wrong map for that territory But when that way of thinking ended, these claims became obvious.
  6. @VeganAwake I would always say that to people who tell me not to do something unhealthy. Dont do this you are going to die..Well so are you bro. It dosent matter what you do in between to change it. Your life is already over, you are already dead. What if the person telling me not to do these things dies tommorow? Would they equally wish that they did the same things I did because they werent going to make it to a higher age anyway? Taking precautions could ruin your life as much as not.
  7. Anything can seem to matter temporarily, like avoiding physical/emotional pain. Ultimately though, the amount of pain and pleasure experienced during life, doesn't matter upon death.

  8. Erection problem

    CARDOZZO replied to Ben_P's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    Probably related to condoms or sensitivity.
  9. Today
  10. Yes I was referring to body death. Could self illusion/ego be that which believes in a higher power doing everything?
  11. I watched a video recently about the ,matrix and what the agent and neo represent. The agent is a man with no purpose he walks around asking why why. He is immortal like Neo but he sees no purpose and constantly wonders why am I doing this. This is pointless I have taken over everyone and nothing has changed I still have no purpose. He sees Neo fighting for humanity and getting hurt. He ask Neo why he does it and Neo simply says because I choose to.
  12. Always some BS each year

  15. How Can I Become an Alpha Male?

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to 9735557264's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @9735557264 Can you describe for us what you mean by 'alpha male'? This will give an outline for the types of character traits, values and qualities you wish to cultivate.
  16. For real, it taboo to in our culture to acknowledge the value women bring. However AI won't be replacing construction work and all the other jobs that make society possible. (Feminist on this site would say it's a good thing if this current society fell lol)
  17. That's a good point

  18. How Can I Become an Alpha Male?

    enchanted replied to 9735557264's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Read Scott Galloway's notes on being a man. Key takeaways: a real man takes care of the people around him. Do that and you have become "alpha male". Also Galloway says BEING NICE is the best way to find and maintain relationships. Note: being nice doesn't mean being a push over, not having an opinion, not having a personality, not having desires, complimenting every 2 seconds, non stop texting, being weak having a creepy smiling at all times, etc. Nice people can still have swagger and be nonchalant.
  19. I was raised predominantly by my mother. My father was mostly busy working. My mother is a very submissive and meek person. I think it was because her father was very strict and domineering and it was her way of avoiding his anger. Additionally, I grew up in an isolated part of town. Outside of school, I didn’t have much contact with non-family members. Most of my social skills training came from TV and movies. From all of this, I have ended up as the stereotypical beta male. In the movies, the nice guy with no masculinity gets the girls and success in the end, but this is not how it works in the real world. And the timidity that may have saved my mother from corporal punishment has gotten me no respect, especially from girls. I am resolute to revamp my life and become an alpha male, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. Recently, I quit working at my family’s business since most of the employees have known me my whole life and still treat me like a baby. Asides from that and reading a few articles, I really don’t know where to start. All I know is that I don’t want to swing from one extreme to the other and be overly aggressive and arrogant. Can anyone give some ideas how I can shed this beta character which I have embodied my whole life and become an alpha male?

  20. Power of Soul

    Empathicsoul posted a topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    What do you think about my invention: 1) breathe with mouth as much as you want 2) squeeze chest muscles, hold it + also imagine sensation of warm sun core slowly heating up inside your chest + also put your right hand on chest I had very alot of times extremely strong and stable positive emotions/profoundly altered states of consciousness because of this method. I feel it's not meditation. This method is about developing Faith (with capital F)
  21. Clip Requests for @Leo Gura: Most urgent for me: Recommendations on how to prepare for your first Vipassana, or the attitude to have in it, etc. Most personal for me: A genuine pep talk from Leo on taking your life seriously with sensemaking. Having a proper sleep schedule, taking care of your body, throwing away media addiction and other addictions. Taking study seriously, disciplining yourself properly. Setting goals, Taking time to contemplate, doing the kriya practices, handling survival, etc. Genuine advice on how to read more, contemplate more. I want you to explain the most industrious you've ever been, and what really got you there. If it makes sense to share: Genuine advice for those that are suffering from ADHD brain, especially in regards to focus. A complete checklist of what to wipe away from direct experience while you are staring at your hand while on a trip. Searching for all forms of knowing that contextualizes this experience such that it can be dissolved. At 1h 9 minutes in your Lecture "The Power Of Not-Knowing," you mention that you can go even deeper on this not-knowing exercise. I would love you to guide me to go as deep as you can. https://youtu.be/RMXNQ-nGBSA?t=4140 I know there are additional instances on when you did not elaborate further for the sake of the scope of the lecture. I will have to dig them up. What I remember right now: Conscious Communication, How to say No, How to assess character, more insights on Relativism. How to use Google to change your life, etc. Key exercises to handhold the newbie through contemplation. Like, "contemplate x until y dissolves." Like a contemplation grocery list. Contemplate x until you get 10 insights that you have never become conscious of before. etc. Key distinctions outlining the importance of contemplation. How to figure out the ratio of contemplation versus study. How much should one contemplate versus watching Another Leo lecture, or reading a book on the book list. Because I know reading books and studying lectures provides loads of grist for the mill. So, yeah, more thoughts on this stuff. Latest insights on how to study the most effectively. What studying even is. What is Attitude? What is Clarity? What is illusion? What is imagination? What is Healing? What is Fantasy? How to think. Key insights to help you master being a teacher. Key insights in developing master of being a therapist. Key insights on developing mastery in public speaking. What did your daily routine look like at different periods of your life? What did it look like when you were bootstrapping yourself into creating actualized.org?: Shooting a video every week. etc. What does your days look like today? How seriously do you take things like following a sleep schedule? What are some of the most fascinating things that you are contemplating/ have contemplated? There was a period of time where you were having an like Awakening 3 times a day, and you were just being pummeled, and this was a rough chapter to grow through. I want to hear about this experience. A tour of all the products you have, your home layout, why you have your layout the way you do. I know there is a bible is reasons for every object, and every placement of object in your home. I studied product design for exactly this fascination, so I'd love you to completely nerd out about products for a couple hours. I will happily sit there and listen to why you chose this type of faucet versus any other kind of faucet.
  22. This is the problem with decisions made by blood thirst, ignorance, emotional temper tantrums over reasoned strategy and moral behavior. For example, based on your inaccurate understanding of history or politics you adopt the easily debunked notion “Israel had the right to defend itself, that its position surrounded by mortal enemies required toughness.” In reality the surrounding states have repeatedly proposed peace and Israel continued to reject it for expansionist, aggressive actions and aims including an ongoing war against Palestine which it exploits the lack of public understanding of to produce crocodile tears and accuse the other side of aggression when they try to defend themselves from their onslaught. This misunderstanding lead to you previously calling for israel to commit war crimes and launch a war on Iran which you admitted was you getting caught up in emotions and demanding blood be spilled, a common result of a lack of background knowledge or mature critical thinking capacity. The result was a disaster as Israel sees collapsing approval and a radicalized Iran, and possible major damage to the world economy which makes both the above and many issues worse. All were mapped out and predicted by most serious analysts long before. It was a decision based on ignorance, supported by people with an inferiority complex and sadistic blood thirst to compensate for it by vicariously living through war crimes, without any hint of wisdom or principles, and naturally this lead to long term needless damage. No one can predict the future, but for a positive future effort needs to be made to listen to cooler heads with a moral backbone, not elevate ignorant people with no foresight or capacity to learn.
  23. Best place to start is if you have a nice big place. If not then you have to be a bit more creative. You can: - Make friends with a richer dude and you team up and do more the promoting and he does the hosting. That's what I did with Jeff of the Velvet Network. - Partner up with a venue like a small bar/restaurant and bring people for events regularly. It's win-win for them as most small establishments are totally down to host you for free as they'll make money on the food/drinks and sometimes you can negotiate a % of bar tab if you're consistent. - Rent a studio. There are platforms like peerspace that let you rent various types of venues from like $30-200 an hour. That's how I hosted my first few photoshoots. You can fund it yourself or partner up with other people interested in that type of stuff and split the costs. Socialization because fun IMO when you treat it like a video game. You level up the more you do it and you have to figure out how the system works and once you do you basically rank up and you feel the difference when you hangout with people that have no idea what they're doing. It's also very cool when people start thanking you for hosting stuff and when you say "I'm an introvert, I don't socialize that often" and they go "No way I don't believe you, you know so many people and host the coolest events!"

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    If you were approaching this in good faith, I wouldn't have to explain anything to you. This isn't between me and you per se - it is you attempting to counter argue with the OP. I am just pointing out poorly presented takedown attempts. Maybe you have lots of experience having mature good faith arguments - but this statement belies what appears to be the exact opposite. False certainty - or just over-certainty, can be a pitfall. Peace

    While we pull shit like this out of a cracker jack box if you need someone to blame then blame fuckin Nature dude but recognize the hypocrisy there because men couldn't have done it without women.

    Willy Phallicus replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    You gonna explain how I did that or am I just supposed to believe you? If you think Patriarchy = bad then you should think Matriarchy = bad. But thats not whats being presented. So Im calling the shit out. Nah it means Im having the honest discussion but people want the emphasis on nonsense so they can spew their nonsense.
