Fair enough. I don't want to derail the thread. Great perspective. I do not want to verify it myself because I don't use drugs.

I don't think addressing what people use to manage their symptoms is the most effective way to assist people who have given up. Addressing the symptoms, depression, loneliness, hopelessness etc is one thing, but hitting the cause is even more effective. Cultural and family breakdown, communities being fragmented, extremism pulling them apart further, war causing divides, politics and media fuelled by division as it draws eyeballs—meaning addressing people's 6 second attention spans and desire to have their own set of values continually affirmed in those around them by a TV screen (instead of the community and/or family they exist in sharing those values). People complain about too much tiktok or youtube, games, tv etc, but they are just poor replacements of people looking for: community, belonging, affirmation, shared experience, pattern breaks, excitement, novelty etc. Media and governments want compliant people, and overloading people with dopamine is an easy way to achieve this, so you are in an uphill battle there also.

Willpower is a very limited ressource. You need to create structures which will automatically put you in the right direction where you dont need willpower and then use the willpower where its still needed. I watched this video back in the video from the channel what I have learned. Cant open the Youtube link right now bc I blocked Youtube for the exact reason that it would drain me from all my willpower to restrain myself from indulging in it. https://www.lingq.com/en/learn-english-online/courses/688839/willpower-is-for-losers-4839254/

When it comes to self help work or any kind of project, I have to have a big picture understanding before I develop motivation to take action. It's hard for me to just do tasks when I can't see why I'm doing them or haven't clarified the link to my own systems for doing self help or any project really. I need that top down sense of understanding, and then I can take massive action because I know exactly why I'm doing every single thing. So sometimes I have a block in motivation if I haven't gone through this process, which in itself is a project and takes a lot of organization. It's like having to do twice the amount of work. Most people can just take action and don't even worry about this clarifying issue. I need organization (orderliness) to precede industriousness.

Yes. However this is a European problem, Russia and Ukraine now have the war on top of that. Its also a chinese problem. Its fixed either by AI in the workforce, a greater focus on space colonization, and/or climate stabalisation (and improvement). All of which people are resisting. Alternatively by peace, family values and what sadly people see as converse to them: putting sex into a core part of society again (not hiding it behind social or cultural convention). Fertility and sex should be front and center in family values, and children need to again become prioritized, along with the environment, to preserve it to allow for more people. If the environment goes the other way, countries disappear, people can't pay their bills (water/food/energy), health deteriorates faster, and children become a possibility rather than a priority. Below is my objective 5.2 GPT's analysis: European Demographics Context (Pre-Ukraine War vs Post-War) A recurring claim is that Ukraine’s demographics were already “bad” before the war. That is true, but it is also not unique. Low fertility and population aging were—and remain—structural problems across Europe, including Russia, and even major non-European countries like China. The correct analytical distinction is between pre-existing demographic trends and war-specific shocks. 1. Fertility Rates (Key Structural Indicator) Total Fertility Rate (TFR) = average lifetime births per woman Replacement level ≈ 2.1 Most of Europe has been below replacement for decades. Pre-War Baseline (2021) vs After 2022 Country - TFR 2021 (pre-war) - TFR 2022 - TFR 2023 Ukraine 1.15 - 0.90 - 0.98 Russia: 1.51 - 1.42 - 1.41 Germany 1.58 - 1.46 - 1.39 Italy 1.25 - 1.24 - 1.20 Poland 1.33 - 1.29 - 1.16 Spain 1.18 - 1.16 - 1.12 France 1.84 - 1.79 - 1.66 United Kingdom 1.58 - 1.56 - 1.56 Bulgaria 1.80 - 1.78 - 1.81 China 1.12 - 1.03 - 1.00 Key point: Ukraine’s fertility was low before the war, but so was most of Europe’s. Spain, Italy, Poland, Germany, and China were all at similar or only slightly better levels. 2. Europe-Wide Aging (Not a Ukraine-Specific Issue) As of 2024: The EU median age ≈ 44.7 years 21.6% of the EU population is 65+ This reflects a continent-wide aging trend, driven by decades of sub-replacement fertility—not conflict. 3. What Actually Changed After 2022 (Ukraine-Specific) The real demographic distinction is not pre-war weakness, but post-war shock. After February 2022, Ukraine experienced: Large-scale displacement (millions temporarily or permanently abroad) Excess mortality from war Suppressed births during conflict A population decline estimated at ~10 million since the invasion These are war effects layered on top of an already weak European demographic baseline. 4. Russia’s Demographics Are Also Weak Russia entered the war with: Sub-replacement fertility An aging population Declining fertility even after 2022 Russia’s demographic trajectory is not structurally strong, despite not facing the same displacement shock as Ukraine.

@Natasha Tori Maru Spoke of waking up vs cleaning up. And you seemed to have discussed in what way waking up influences the process of cleaning up. But you forgot an important one, which is growing up (integrating the spiral). I would say there is a reciprocal relationship between the three. You can not sustainably develop each if you don't develop the others. If you only rely on waking up then, again, you engage in "spiritual bypassing". I press you to look this up. Learning about, experiencing, and contemplating ND helps foster cleaning up and growing up. It both addresses your personal trauma in interacting with neurotypical people and trying to live by their rules (cleaning up) and also helps you gain new insight into the lived experience of ND people as well as of neurotypical people (see video learning=making distinctions). I would count this as part of "wokeness" and therefore stage green (growing up). It is important for your epistemic integrity. Think of the blind people and the elephant. Every group in society has a different lived experience and it is especially important that you know exactly which group you are a part of and which you are excluded from. It also strengthens your ability for systemic thinking and see different forces in the society interacting. For example, I believe that a not unsignificant potion of the narcissism in the world stems from people coping with their executive dysfunction. Notice that Elon Musk is autistic. If you want to reach solid tier 2 thinking, you need to educate yourself about ND. Period.

"life not lived accordingly to their ND genes" led to their chronic health problems? Lol. That Dr. K talks a lot of bullshit. He fits in the orthodox self-help norms because it helps his survival. He does not understand masculinity and femininity, men and women and he leads people astray. Tried to listen to a podcast with him and got annoyed. Science parroting automaton. Of course almost everyone who cares about Leos work and seriously watched the videos and took notes are more autistic. People who watch this are systematizing, mapping oriented, cerebral, disagreeable people. Social consensus matters less than discovering truth to us. If that was not the case why should we watch hundreds of hours of content and contemplate and talk about this stuff for ages? Non-autistic people conform to the social norms.

Alright, fellas, let’s talk about a little game in the attraction wars that women have been winning for ages. Thread incoming on how men can flip the script with something as simple as white sweatpants (or joggers – you know, the comfy athletic ones). No skin-tight nonsense needed. Women have mastered the art of subtle (or not-so-subtle) taunting with their outfits. Skin-tight leggings, yoga pants, crop tops – it’s all designed to highlight curves and get us staring, whether they admit it or not. It’s biology mixed with a power play, and it works like a charm. But us guys? We’re often too naive about these opposite-sex dynamics. We just throw on whatever and hope for the best. Time to level up. Enter the white sweatpants strategy. Why white? Because it’s light-colored and semi-loose, but when you’re packing (you know what I mean), the outline becomes way more visible under the right lighting or movement. It’s not overt like gray sweatpants memes, but it’s there – a tease without trying too hard. I don’t do skin-tight clothes myself; I’m all about comfort. But this? This is effortless taunting. Picture this: You’re at the gym, park, or just running errands. She glances down, does a double-take, and suddenly the power dynamic shifts. It’s the male equivalent of her wearing those form-fitting outfits that leave little to the imagination. Women do it to spark interest or mess with our heads – why shouldn’t we? It’s fair game in the flirting battlefield. I tested it out and it really works. Especially if you don’t look if they look they even look more. And it flips the dynamic because usually it is the man staring at the guy. And if you don’t show attention towards her she is thinking wtf is happening. From this point you give only small amount of attention and build things up from there. You can try this in the gym. Men need to get ok with putting their dicks in their face in the same way they are doing to us with their boobs and ass, and then say don’t look. Key tips: Go for quality fabric that drapes just right (not too baggy, not too thin). Pair with a fitted shirt up top to balance it out. Confidence is key – own the look like it’s no big deal. And remember, this isn’t about being crude; it’s about understanding the subtle signals we all send. Men, stop being oblivious to how clothing plays into attraction. Step up your game.

Day 3 of trying to convince everybody on this forum they're neurodivergent (ND) and they should go down the rabbit hole. A sentiment you see a lot here on this forum goes something like "When I walk around in the city the people I see are so profoundly different from me that they might as well be aliens. I immediately recognize (I press you to look up pattern recognition in autistic people) that they go through life absorbing what is being told to them which leads to them perfectly matching some social archetype". Only an ND person would say this. This is actually a quite universal part of the lived experience of autistic people and is not exclusive to this community. The quick explanation is that autistic people are insensitive to social truths and more sensitive to unbiased absolute truth. It is important not to make the mistake of believing that regular people are just people who have not discovered and studied actualized.org (AO) yet. No. They are fundamentally different from you down to the genes. They are physically unable to discover AO. You see Kai Cenat (no need to google just some streamer) starting read self-help after a breakup. This guy will never discover AO. Here I want to throw in some caveat. Why do neurotypical people on the self-help route not reach AO? One reason is not bc they're stupid but because: THE SHIT THEY READ ACTUALLY HELPS THEM. THIS IS BECAUSE MOST SELF HELP IS TARGETED AT NEUROTYPICALS. THE REASON WHY YOU RED A BILLION SELF-HELP BOOKS BEFORE YOU DISCOVERED ACTUALIZED.ORG IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO SHIT TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE. THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WILL READ ATOMIC HABITS AND THEN ACTUALLY CREATE HABITS SUSTAINABLY. THEY FIX THEIR LIFE AND THEN MOVE ON. I know this sounds unbelievable but it's true. You don't have any idea how easy it is to function in this society when you are neurotypical. The damning thing is that Actualized.org still does not help you to fix your life because it is still too entangled in neurotypical self-help world. You will have a better life if you do the exact opposite of what any neurotypical self-help guru says. It is important to know that there are hybrids. I would say Cal Newport, James Clear, Jocko Willink, David Goggins are neurotypical self-help people. But there are also ND gurus who don't know they're ND, and it's funny to see them coping sometimes. The biggest two that come to mind are Jordan Peterson and of course Leo Gura. Notice that they both suffer from chronic health issues (even in a similar way) which is what inevitably happens when you live a life not suitable to your neurodivergence for too long and power through. It is no coincidence that a lot of people here were previously fans of Jordan Peterson (forgot to make a poll). Okay now to the important part. The (for me) undisputed champions of spiritual ND-aware self-help are the youtube channel HealthyGamerGG (Dr. K) and the tiktok account nononsensespirituality. Don't underestimate them bc they aren't Leo. They have depth that is on par with that of Leo trust me. Notable mentions of people I recently discovered are drkojosarfo (Kojo Sarfo on youtube) and diploma.duck on instagram. It is important to note that the reason you think you can't download instagram and tiktok is because you are always at the brink of burnout because you don't live a life suitable to you neurodivergance.

No, it won’t. It’s not. We already can’t keep up with a computer without being biologically reduced, depression and loss of function due to the hyper-stream of data. You would have to modify your brain biologically. It’s like looking for something that could heal all drug use. Drugs destroy your body for years, rewiring your neural pathways. Literally, Neuralink is hype and stupid like so many things Elon does, and equally people who entertain brain uploading, even worst, they are not debatable. They must be slapped awake, because the stupidity of even entertaining these thoughts is dangerous. There are some absolutes in life. One of them is that you cannot track the thing that is you and upload it into a machine. As for the biological part, even if it “worked”, it would again be the same thing: biological upgrading of your brain to accept the enhancement of the chip. Which, right now, we are decades away from, if not never.

He just does whatever he feels like doing, he is a quintessential example of a post modernist post trueist, even more perfect than Putin because Putin doesn't actually do whatever he feels like but there are always some strategic reasons behind what he's doing and saying. Trump just acts first and thinks later LOL and doesn't even attempt to hide anything, he's like an open book. Maybe because of his potential dementia, or maybe cause he represents what Americans are like. That's why I'm saying that huge ammount of US people seem seriously dumb to me, regardless which side of political spectrum they fall on, it's like they are shielded from reality and create their own. That's how people in the US always seemed to me -
I learned that I was born doing death contemplation Sadhana. I'm glad I did that. I had tonnes of sex I am glad I did that. I partied non stop im glad I did that. I am glad I did psychedelics and awaken. I am glad that I see God and nullify my death anxiety. I am glad I was selfish it was fun. I'm glad I never let myself get indoctrinated into school and let myself become a boring fucking nerd preppy kid. I'm glad I chose the punk life. It was not easy but it was way more exciting. Being a nerd is lame asf. My nervous system was fried but worth.

The big bang didn't happen. The big bang 'happening' is you identifying with an object. When you say I am this thing you create space inbetween yourself and something else when everything is actually tightly packed together. The space between objects and you is imaginary. Like a screen your body is actually bigger than the sun. Space is flat because reality is flat. Not here and there z axis flat, up and down x and y axis flat. Like a peice of paper with a drawing on it flat. If you draw a man standing and a wall behind him there is no space in the foreground and the wall and there is no space in between him and the wall and where the 'picture' is being drawn from. We are still in the big bang and it never happened. Everything is infinitely close together like the man the wall and the perspective of where the man is being drawn from. All these things exist on the same x and y axis when drawn on a paper. When you make up that the big bang happened you create an imaginary empty space between objects to prove that we are seperate when you are seperated by nothing. Literally nothing. -

What is space? If space is a featureless, structureless thing, then it is not a thing at all. The only way to know about space is to look at the things in it, they provide the structure. In that sense matter/energy and fields (things in space) and space are complementary, you can't have one without the other. You could even say that space is exactly the complement of matter and vice versa. It's very telling that matter/energy warps spacetime, and that spacetime affects the motion of matter/energy. That is a direct consequence of this complementarity. If the amount of matter if finite, then so is the amount of space. We have no way to know if space is infinite in extent because light travels at a finite speed. Any information we have about space is got through observing matter, and observation is restricted by the speed of light. We can only ever observe a finite volume of space. Everything else is conjecture and philosophy. We can't know what is beyond the event horizon. One good question to ponder is to ask why space has extent in the first place? I like to think of it like oil spreading on water. In that way space could have a self-repulsion, each bit of space is fighting to differentiate itself to every other bit of space. If space were to start off in a state of zero-extent (a singularity), then it's easy to see how a self-repulsive mechanism could make it inflate wildly and forever. If it's a smooth inflation, then space is finite but ever increasing, if it's an instant phase change, then it could potentially be infinite. It's telling that fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle, and maybe space is somehow fermionic as well. The curvature of the universe is basically a geometric measurement, it's either closed, open or flat. The current consensus is that it's flat, it can't be a mixture. -
