Well what is worst, to have to deconstruct the BS from Christianity Pre-Modern or the Modern Ideia that Consciousness comes from Matter? At least Matter is something solid to built or refect upon. I my early childhood before starting to be deviated by Mórmon BS my first contemplations were to be in the forest observing insects and questioning myself where their shapes came from, or who decided that they must have that specific shape. Religion came and gave me the BS answer. God the Father created it. Period. Religion cuts the Enquire. Science at least incentives questioning. Of course next step will be question science as well.

I am kinda sad. Well I chatted with that girl and we kind of got a date going. I felt a rush of emotions coming up yesterday. Kind of surreal even. Today though I got back to my social spot and saw the girl again which I was trying to built a connection with before. And I clearly have emotions for her as well. So then I just realized that I cant have it all and that I need to cut it off. When I just got the possibly perfect opportunity with her being single and so on.

Do you think he had something to prove, or was defending himself? What was the context prior to his uncalibrated behaviour?

Bias for technology. I don’t know why I feel like you give the impression that you favor technology more than you question it. When one time you mentioned that we will have to use technology in order to be able to live in a socialist society I kind of felt like that you could be blinded by this vision.

@something_else Nice congratulations! How about your body feeling? Do you also get these comfortable energy flows? For example while driving you feel the vibraion of the car so good on elvanse. Did you have that and do you still have it now?

Anyone who’s ever achieved anything worthwhile in their life understands the value of discipline. Stop kidding yourself . -
I was watching a dating program and this guy was with a girl and I saw him completly sabotage everything. He would be very rude, every opportunity to make a fight he would take it and go way too far and aggressive, which any normal woman would be completly alienated by. This is why I like to watch dating programs, because you get to really observe certain patterns that you might have yourself, I learned allot from different dating programs on television. I notice that I self sabotage sometimes when approaching a woman, either in the first few seconds or after 2 mins of talking, I eject or find an excuse to go away. I am proud of myself that I do it way less and less, and that I am now more aware of my self sabotage behaviour. Ultimately I think that is the only way to get over it, not by force, but awareness and being able to catch yourself on doing it, then when you catch yourself you can make a decision in that 1 second that it arises to not go with that running feeling. Stay just a few seconds longer in the set then you are comfortable with, this helped me allot aswell as making every set just a bit longer, meaning first set 30 seconds, next one 1 min, next on 2 mins etc. What helped you overcome self sabotage? I think it is an interesting topic both to observe in others and in myself.

No. I noticed that people could be more woke/barbaric depending but I never keyed it as it developmental till spiral dynamics. Spiral dynamics has contextualized a lot and been instrumental to my worldview broadly.

Hi, I don't know if this as been asked already, but I wanted to register Leo's blog feed on my RSS app, and when I do, the last result that appears on my feed is from months and months ago. Any fix? @Leo Gura

@Husseinisdoingfine Have you seen this and also listened to Gary’s economics? The first videos shows how truly deep Leo’s contemplions are on conservativism which I don’t see anyone here addressing. The second, There are serious issues with wealth inequality that are harder to see than the examples you’ve shared here. Really, Conservatives should be taxing the rich more.

At least he was smart enough to drug him first! Might have ended up like John Bobbit otherwise -

I find this ban on religion for children by the Chinese government quite suspicious. I’m not sure it’s something to celebrate, since it’s part of an atheist nation-building project. China is an atheist state, not a secular one. Atheist. So, along with banning religion for children, they’re also teaching them in school that consciousness comes from matter, which is just as problematic.

I think OP is hating not on the idea of doing something systemically to survive and prosper, but on the idea of being pushed by society into doing something meaningless and boring for the sake of it. I don't like the word discipline either. I think it needs to be reframed or replaced to something that sounds less like a choke on your throat and more like a strategic choice with a vision. And as long as the word carries those negative connotations for you, everyone who uses it will sound like they want you to become miserable forever. That's what I see happening in this thread -
@oOo I wasn't dismissing the use of social media. I can find value in it in certain ways too. To me is obvious why I open my cellphone to check on Instagram. They've capitalized on a need. But Instagram isn't just an utopic tool to share pictures with the world. Maybe that was the case in the first year 20 years ago. Those mofos are abusing the attention of billions nowadays.

The quickest way to Truth is to have the genetics. Suffer a whole lot because of your own stupidity. And then meditate. Or you could just take psychedelics? Discipline is good if you wanna keep the dream from becoming a nightmare. But it's boring. -

From x.com https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2115479434169868618 Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu Likud: The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters. The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence regarding election theft in many Arab polling stations—thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra'am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more. We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals. We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results. This is a serious blow to Israeli democracy and the voting rights of Israeli citizens. The law enforcement agencies must act with an iron fist and in an immediate manner. -

The most spiritually evolved people are very discipline. I met such people, people who were monks since they were teens. -
I just want to make you aware (because you keep stating you are simply observing) that the above marked up in red is not an observation. They are interpretations, generalisations, explanations of a proposed mechanism, and psychological inferences. This distinction matters, because these are the parts of your reasoning where you are moving beyond what you directly observed, then assigning meaning, motives and causality to it. This is the part of your reasoning you have direct influence over, and where cognitive biases can enter.

Another example is with prices, scarcity, etc... Prices largely exist to reflect the scarcity of a certain commodity. For example, beach front properties are more expensive then suburban homes, because they are more scarce and will always be more scarce, and the price reflects this. The real reason you and I don't own a beachfront home is not really because of the price, its something more than that which is reflected in the price; it's scarcity. Government plans to cap the cost of beachfront properties, or provide universal access to beachfront properties will not change the scarcity of such homes. Attempts to blame the price of these properties on "greed" or "capitalism run amuck" will also not change this reality.

I think in politics you have a serious bias against all forms of conservatism. For example, do conservatives not want to raise the minimum wage because they are just about protecting the elite or because of basic economic principles such as; An increase of prices causes surplus, so an increase in the price of labor causes a surplus of labor, which takes place in the form of unemployment. Theres no serious acknowledgement that a lot of conservative economic theory is very legit and not simply as a plot to protect the wealthy. @Leo Gura, Please read: "Basic Economics, By Thomas Sowell". It's amazing, I've read it, and you will thank me later.

This is a very serious lesson in conscious politics. How does a government, with such people living in society, get people to live in peaceful coexistence without raping children and crocodiles. That... that is the serious challenge and question of government and politics.
