@Thought Art S'all good just prompted some self reflection for me
-
@Natasha Tori Maru I am not sure how that relates to what I said exactly.

@Thought Art Thanks for sharing. I don't personally find judgements in domain conscientiousness translate across all areas of people's lives. That sort of rigidity never served me, and I never consider conscientiousness to be a global ranking of morals/character/intellect/whathaveyou. I dislike charm, charisma and artifice. Authenticity and earnestness is my jam I am strongly turned off by performative behaviour and overly crafted narratives (which Bryan and Kate have admitted is core to their marketing).

@PsychedelicEagle my problem is science will claim it to be true. Then change their mind. Science cant say anything is true but say everything they come up with is true and can't be argued. This is bullying.

Yeah, new age people are full of conformity.

This is great advice. HPV is technically an STI not an STD, but guys can't get tested for it yet it about 80% of people get it in their lifetime. Most times it just goes away with no symptoms. But other times it can cause genital warts or cancer later in life. And if youre a guy you don't wanna be a carrier and give it to a girl who could later gets cervical cancer from it.

Some topics I would like to see Leo's take on: States of consciousness: Is there a limit/what is the limit on how high a human brain can go up in states of consciousness? Is there a physical biological human limit that would prevent humans from accessing certain states? Faith: What is faith? What purpose does it serve? Why do people have faith? Is it a good thing to have faith? Should one strive to have zero faith? Christianity: Is there anything worthwhile about Christianity's teachings? Are Jesus's teaching of good quality? (I think this can be useful for someone like me who does not identify with Christianity's teachings but is surrounded by Christians, so it could be useful to find good things about the religion to help better relate to other people). Psychedelic substances: Could also be interesting to see videos about the qualities of different substances and what kind of experience/goal each one is better suited for. Spiral Dynamics case studies: show some very strong real life examples of public people of specific stages in the spiral and what characteristics categorize them on that stage. Some cases could also be more nuanced where someone could be split between different stages for different reasons. Just to name a few things off the top of my head.

@Breakingthewall you are not even close to enlightenment. For enlightenment, you are not even beginner. Just stop talking man. Just fucking stop. -
You can make the distinction that the media reporting scientific findings is what make absolute claims. (Good) nutrition scientists will give you nuanced and non-absolute perspectives. Also, the fact that the pyramid changes doesn't mean it's useless. Someone starting from ground zero is better off following it than not. Only after you add personalization the odds of good health outcomes may increase with deviation from what's recommended for the average. Without personalization, a random person is better off following it than random eating.

Every society is a nepo society. America just has a culture glorifying self-directed success for better and for worse. And the US isn't even that bad globally I think. Try getting a high paying gov job in a Balkan country without being someone's nephew. But connections is only one of the three qualities you need to succeed in a field, generally speaking. Nepo babies might get leading roles in a big movie, but without confidence and competence they won't stay in the limelight for very long. High talent positions require you also be good at your field.

Yes, and I would add that one should complement their subjective assessment with "objective" biomarkers such as blood, urine, stool, etc., types of tests. Some of these are cheap and can catch things that one may be oblivious to. Speaking from personal experience. Part of the scientific literature addresses populational averages (e.g., nutritional guidelines for an entire country), but there is also a lot of useful information about references and causal relationships of biomarkers that one can leverage to understand their particular nutritional status.

Logic belongs to body, there is not a person in body. Anything and everything arises and falls within You, but you are none. Body experiences sun too. You are not the experience, if you are, shine like a fucking sun. @Breakingthewall @Nemra Forgot even experience, even if you are attached a word, you are a little bitch of the mind. -
Shinzen Young is introducing the Ramona Project. It will be an LLM that acts as a personal assistant in mindfulness training. He is raising funds, and apparently for a $100 donation you can be among the beta testers who receive the Phase 1 version. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/support-visionary-work-from-shinzen-young

Haha, cool post and funny story🙂 ah the bro hug fail 🙂amazing that it had this affect on you. Yeah, raves tap in to so many unique raw and spiritual energies that just don't exist elsewhere. You can just disappear in to them, into something that's like primordial.
