  1. Past hour
  2. U.S. terrorists barracks in Kuwait got direct hit by Iran
  3. @Leo Gura But nobody can clear that bar. Everyone lies in ways that we consider okay. For example, makeup is a lie. But you'd still rather have your girl pretty with makeup than less prettier without. Also going to the gym is a lie in a way. We're forcing our bodies to look something that's not compatible with the way we live. Wearing clothes is a form of lying too, because it hides the truth underneath it. It changes the truth depending on what clothes are worn. Yet, we still wear clothes. If the problem was regarding your truth about attraction, then you should have broken up first before her asking that question. Or at least you should have told her to get in shape or you'll dump her.
  4. That's actually a really good idea! Imagine a parody film of Nolan's Odyssey! Staring Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and The Rock. That might really work. It could be made really funny. ChatGPT can write the script
  5. A bit, but not too much. It's not something I spend much time thinking about. The reality is that my child could turn out a thousand various ways, many of them bad. You can't predict what your child is gonna be. Maybe my child would be a serial rapist. Who knows? It isn't always positive. Probably not.
  6. She was gaining weight and she was unhappy with it herself. She expected me to be attracted to her at any weight, which is untrue for me. It isn't about the measurement, it's about what my honest opinion is. If I don't like something, that's the truth. I can't pretend to like what I don't like. I am not claiming my opinion is objective. Of course I know that. I know how to do that. But I consciously refused to do it because that's bullshit. I don't want a relationship based on bullshit. That is the cost of truth. Since most people don't care about truth, it's a non-issue for them. But for me truth is the most important issue.
  7. He got Sneako to cosplay as a muslim for a living and now everybody wants to deport him 🫢
  8. @Jirh Thought = form. If that's the case, I'll be sure to dream good thoughts for all.
  9. Why did that end the relationship? Big butt is a compliment these days wtf 😂 Anyway, technically you didn't tell the truth, because there's no absolute measurement. Since big and small are relative terms, you could have said it's small, and you would have been as truthful. But of course, ultimately any answer is wrong in this case, because it's often a test. The best answer is to dodge the question entirely and just be playful and reassuring/complimenting. Tell her that it's the perfect size or something like that.
  10. Sure it can. I know self-deceived enlightened people.
  11. A mind that spins no stories about itself cannot be self-deceived.
  12. That works if all you care about is money. Many people want their work to be connected to their passions, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is probably the best way to create sincere value. I’m sure Jeff Bezos, for instance, was not simply trying to make money. He was fascinated by engineering distribution systems, and that is how he built his fortune. It is difficult for pure artists, for example, to do anything other than art because money is not a strong enough motivation for them. So this tactic of testing products, like selling toothbrushes, is simply not going to work for most people.
  13. I was once deceived by the experience of reality thinking it was the absolute reality. Wow was I wrong. This is just a sandbox in comparison to what true reality is.
  14. I don't want to die. You are simply not going to win the game of survival. I teach spirituality. You really expect me to buy into gimmickry for the immortality of egotistical billionaires? Haha. The point of my work is to guide people to actual immortality, not these tech bro gimmicks. So of course I will be critical of that. It's nothing personal against Bryan. I don't want tech gimmickry to distract us from the real thing. Taking care of your health is well and good, but Bryan takes it to a comical and delusional extreme for internet clickbait. That I cannot be on-board with. I will not be jumping on the gimmickry bandwagon. But you do you. What's truly weird is trying to make egos live forever through sick and twisted means.
  15. Today
  16. Yes. My girlfriend asked me if her butt was big, I knew I shouldn't answer that, but since I care about truth, I told her yes, and that ended our relationship. If I was a typical PUA or narc, I would have just bullshitted her and kept having lots of sex with her. Or you just need to burn through some karma, get that craving for sex out of your system, so you can think clearly. Don't underestimate how much you can develop in 20 years. But see... that is your weakness. You are a moral person who cares about truth, so you cannot lie convincingly. But a bullshit artist like Trump or Tate can lie without killing the vibes. They lie like breathing air. That's how narcs are. In this respect narcs have an advantage over you. Not being able to lie and cheat is a kind of handicap in the material world. Trump wins precisely because he is the most shameless liar. Most politicians are not evil enough to compete with that. It works that way in politics, it works that way in war, it works that way in business, it works that way in dating.
  17. You're associating "manliness" with survival value.
  18. Yes, and it applies to nightmares as well and really generally in life. Our beliefs can have real but unforeseen consequences.

  19. Is any of this real?

    The good news is we are all on the same boat. Survival is a bitch.
  20. Interesting. So, you're saying I dream of an event then make it happen? Never thought of it that way.
  21. These caricature type of guys exist but most people are a lot more complex and multi-faceted A "bad guy" can otherwise be providing massive value to the world overall for example These cartoonish narcissists like andrew tate arent an accurate or relatable reflection of the vast majority of men, including players, puas, even criminals.
  22. @Carl-Richard Alright, no problemo. I just want to restate that I actually like you even if we are disagreeing strongly. You're one of my favourite people on this forum. Much love.
  23. They will have power. Imagine if putin could never die. Imagine is mao ze dong could never die. You would have rulers ruling for thousands of years. I know you make up that these billionaires are your friends and one day you will be hanging out with them but its just not the case they don't care about you they care about power. This is a realm of resets you must reset for balance. Fear if death is fear of losing power. Its purely egoic. You have no power any power you have is a neural network talking to itself. You come in with no control and must surrender that control. You are talking from Satan's perspective. Only God has power. Its manly to give up your power. Its true manliness. True power is knowing you are a worm. You are clinging to fairy tales. Coming to terms with death is what makes you a man. If you dont you are just a scared unhumbled monkey. God is death you are scared of God. You are saying I do not want to return to God. Who else said that? Satan. You wont realize but this fear of death causes insane stress on your system and will give you health problems ultimately killing you. Why don't you ask yourself why do I not want to die instead. The answer can only come from a neural network of looping logic. Death frees you from your fear of death and all struggles you have. Its pure peace.
  24. Just had a thought, I'll respond to you @Jirh later when I have time. We should be aware of how we can frame the same things different ways. For example, a healer who can put their hands on someone and seemingly speed up healing, in the materialist epistemic paradigm, they will say "the sensual touch induces endorphinergic signalling which synergizes with the placebo effect which increases the innate regenerative mechanisms of the body". It's a very roundabout and "inside/outside" way of putting it. Meanwhile, a psychic will say "the healing energy leads to healing". It's a more elegant way of putting it; both may agree on the underlying effect, but they describe it differently. Similar with explaining precognition or telepathy with "very subtle implicit memory which the subject is unaware of having but which affects their inferences". Again the inside/outside split and hiding the "non-localitiness" in concepts like "subtle" and "unaware of having". Compare it to simply "you picked up information non-locally", again, much more elegant, and it explains the same phenomena which one can agree that is happening. This "lack of elegance" of the materialistic explanations indicate they are "epicycles", i.e. sometimes desperate attempts of the paradigm to deal with anomalies that challenges it. They are at least honest and not 'too' deceptive unlike jumping to ideas like "every unlikely event should be expected", as if it doesn't defeat any epistemic paradigm that tries to make non-trivial distinctions (any epistemic paradigm that tries to engage with probability and uncertainty rationally instead of dismissing it, i.e. not pure non-duality, ultimate skepticism, epistemic nihilism). Same with the concept of "real" (in it being a frame). What we really mean by real (as opposed to "hallucinatory") is that it's somehow inter-subjectively corroborated and consistent. Notions like physical space "out there" and actual things happening in a localized matrix are concepts we use to "summarize" our felt notion of real, how most things we experience as real seem to relate to each other. It's fundamentally a frame. And like I've alluded to, there are other phenomena we feel like can touch on the "real" category as well, that break with these notions of space and locality, but still fit the inter-subjective and consistent qualities associated with "real". That's what I felt I uncovered with these three original dreams fitting the five criteria which notably includes being inter-subjectively corroborated in terms of place / time / type of events matching. And this was me being "nudged out of my sleep" so to speak (that's also a pun) in the sense that I was currently inside the materialist epistemic frame and I experienced a radical break with it. But then when you're open to the alternative frame, you're more open to simply use it where it seems to fit, because you're not trying to "prove" its existence or validity. You're just following your sense of what you think is real or not. That's what I did with some of my more liberal dream interpretations. But those I also qualify with what my level of credence is, i.e. the level of uncertainty I feel, like I do with all other kinds of observations and inferences.
  25. Your entire life is a self-deception. Awakening will make this 100% clear.
  26. This way of thinking has the tendency to create self-fulfilling prophecies. Emotionally impactful dreams have higher chances of coming true just because we allow them to, whether it's a dream or a nightmare.
