  4. or... maybe God cares so much about so many so completely that a finite mind cannot come to terms with it
  5. Tbh i've had dreams more wild than most drugs I've taken, especially as a child. I remember a few dreams i lived out entire lifetimes and then woke up...
  6. Dude keepin' it real 😂
  7. Europeans are even less intelligent than Trump. UK helps U.S. bomb Iranian hospitals, then condemns Iran for attacking a uk military base, used to bomb hospitals and girls schools. All of these bombing runs have been from European bases, France has now allowed the u.s. bombers as well, I hope their Mediterranean fleet gets sunk, it's 2/3 their entire navy within Iranian range. The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com UK foreign secretary condemns Iran's 'reckless threats' after strike towards ... 1 day ago — The foreign secretary has condemned Iran's strikes on a joint US-UK military base on the island of Diego Garcia
  8. Well, someone might think that if there's a city of two million inhabitants with enormous population growth whose absolute and essential principle is to hate you and want you to disappear, then if that city disappears, it's better for your safety. I don't know if that's correct or not, but it seems like obvious reasoning Again, some could think that if those holy leaders have mansions, tons of gold, and all the regime leaders are millionaires, maybe they like life in earth, not just in paradise, then the next holy would claim a lot of braveries but maybe deeply he avoid crossing some lines, because it's so nice being millionaire doing nothing
  9. Maybe you didn't understand them. It's difficult to understand anything when your identity is at stake. You don't see the facts, only your identity. Then an emotional mechanism makes you perceive that by insulting your identity you remain safe. Anything rather than question your absolute certainties and your hatred of Satanic America that make you feel secure. Like you, many people operate, limited by their absolute need to be adequate, to maintain an identity. In my opinion they are just cowards that sell their souls in exchange for belonging.

  10. What is Beauty?

    ~ What is distraction? How precious is the health of the physical body? Isn't it a little concerning understanding the toxins surrounding us all of the time? Most certainly a part of us at this point too. Get the euthanasia it seems, right? Nighty night. What is the sting of pain? Self awareness to no avail? or self deception sucessfully deployed? Life will always outsmart even a clever fool. Too late already it may seem? Or is there a way to put a stop to this? Feels inescapable. It is only a matter of time before a mistake that costs everything. This is not even necessary true maybe just emotions trying to be described? What is faith? Nothing i say is necessary true or what i believe just passing thoughts ~ How often do I walk into obvious danger? This is jagged terrain. I may as well be doing it right now. That is most likely actually. Does anything happen for a reason? What is reason? What is a happening? Why so many horrible things try to kill me ~ What is solace? Where is solace to be found? Emotions are a broad spectrum.
  11. How does destroying Gaza, or killing Iran's holy leader increase Israel's chances of survival ? They have just created more martyrs and future holy wars, that's all.

    It seems i am caught yet again in another trap. I will hopefully survive without too much permanent damage.
  13. It's because your cognition. I have the same thing. Even if I have a deep understanding of something, that understanding is not stored as something I can easily show due to the storage format. If you asked me about this topic in a conversation, the process of me trying to serialize my understanding for speech would make it look like I don't know jack shit or just making stuff. Someone with a fraction of my understanding on the topic could easily come across as more knowledgeable just because their fraction is stored differently. But when I sit down to write it out, the depth of understanding deepens fast because I have time to connect and process all the relevant nodes in the network. But even after bringing order to it in writing, my mind just discards the linear scaffolding the writing produced because it doesn't value retaining it. I might value it, but my mind don't. This is why I mentioned "values" earlier. The only way for me to verbalize my understanding would be to verbally drill the specific points, like memorizing a fucking poem or something, and I just can't be bothered with that. And you're right, if you have the cognitive architecture I'm describing and want to speak with some authority on a topic, it's very difficult. You could do it, but I think you need to truly understand the architecture. To get a sense of the architecture I'm trying to describe, check out this video: Don't view that video from the MBTI lens. Separate the concept from the MBTI model. Mainly look at the cognition of the INTJ and see if that seems like what is going on. Also: If you have this type of cognition, you will have to learn to suspend in when it's time to communicate.
  14. Yeah but you don't get urges to use more and more fire after every cooking. It's a nice analogy but overlooks the potential of an addiction. It requires more self-control for some people to use it responsibly.

    There are extremely high developed places in Brazil. Do not believe what you hear on a documentary. Search for Florianópolis, Gramado, Canela, Pomerode, Brasília, Curitiba, Campos do Jordão, Balneário Camboriu. We are mostly a stage blue/orange country.

    https://www.actualized.org/insights/indias-rape-culture Related with this post, be aware of over generosity in these countries. In Brasil I was in a bread shop and was so hot. I Decided to offer some icecream for the ladies who work there, just 3 people so the price for icecream was not big. One of them had my number and Whatsapp because a room she wanted to rent to a friend of mine. Later on out of nowhere she send me a message asking for money. Another day in the local central square her child of 5 that I dont even knew runned towards me and asked to me for buy food for her. So, if you want to be generous be from your heart, but be ready to give a hand and easily get your arm eaten.

    I live in Brazil. i should say that if you are a woman, be careful in certain areas. There are dangerous psychos in all places. Brazil is a friendly place, you can come here to live like a king/queen on dollars/euros

    @Leo Gura Hi Leo in regards to your two posts on India. We have just been in Sri Lanka doing the exact same things the young chinese woman was doing and maybe even more dangerous things such as walking without guides through slums at noon. I can happily report Sri Lanka which is next to India is nothing like this at all. We had zero cases of harrasment or feeling unsafe. Sri Lanka is a predominantly Bhuddist nation. I was shocked by the behavior in both videos and what a contrast of two countries so near each other. We used to live in Africa, and here yes we had to be a lot more careful and were robbed violently on the beach once. For a bit of context I travelled with my mom who had been volunteering teaching English by herself in a small village there 2 months before I arrived. She reported it having been a safe country with friendly helpful people. We did see maaaaany young foreigners both men and women completely inappropriatly dress attire (tight skin clothes) and we both commented that this is probably not a smart idea when travelling in such countries. Stay safe out there people 🙏
  22. Today
  23. I had this insight at workplace, when I and other friends of mine were using mobile phones and I was trying to watch videos that would make me look like sort of a cool and wise person who watches self-help videos, listens to particular songs. I choose it to do it for a brief time but the insight hot me when I was thinking about the book Models at that time by Mark Manson that it's better to prioritize my opinion/perception of myself rather than others perceptions/opinion of me. Insight : I am needy and people smell neediness from a mile. So, I need to do things for myself rather than others. After which I started listening to songs and watching videos which I liked rather than that persona of an attractive me would watch. I felt a little sense of joy for sometime.I also think that having a goal of being myself is better rather than performing as if I am an attractive male.
