  2. What does it matter what Ralston is saying about the nature of love? What good does it do to you? It's just hearsay and belief for you, so why bother?
  3. I can't believe Leo is complaining about his videos not being pushed when he barely uploads anything. You can't expect YT to push your 7-8 yearly videos about the most advanced topics. He barely does anything on the business and marketing side. If you watched Alex Hormozi's live sessions, you would be amazed at what can be a million-dollar business, pretty much anything: piano lessons, acting coach, travel coaching, dance schools, playing poker, christmas light installation, selling bike parts, Excel courses, trivia nights. I know he's competent enough, and also burned out, but don't buy into this late-stage capitalism dystopia; late-stage capitalism has been a thing since the beginning of capitalism. Watch the videos (seriously) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PxyS-LsmxjQ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VDZQY9OnEIU https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0pPuQw4fQaI https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nZ0flY52BCM https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KWk1kzkjHkw https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pf8xz9q12Cs https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ydRguU_cH8Y https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jMsdKHRkRks --------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vExrtzieOM

  4. UFOs Are Here

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    https://neildegrassetyson.com/books/2026-05-take-me-to-your-leader/ What the hell? Am I so out of the loop I didn't hear about Neil Degrasse Tyson doing a complete 180 on the UFO / NHI phenomenon? Last I heard he was staunchly a denier - so much so he was continually denigrating the whole dialogue around the topic. Either someone has given him direct insider intel, OR - he's in it to ride the wave of cash surrounding news on the topic. Do we think it's going to be slop? I've personally never been a fan of Neil, or his takes.

  5. My Journey With Porn

    Carl-Richard replied to Carbon's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    @Basman If you have spiritual aspirations, trying abstinence for up to a month or so can bring a lot of benefits.
  6. Without consciousness, there can be no ego, or as I like to put no identity, none could just be or exist, even division.
  7. No it wasn't, perhaps the wording, "I gave up and surrendered to the will of God," was misleading. But that's what it meant for me at that moment, not clinging to my own will, but accepting that God knows best when the time has come. But it could have been a total dissolution if I were as transparent as Ramakrishna for example. It was right in front of me, exactly what I am longing for. The gate wide open, beaming, calling me but I couldn't melt in. And that drove me crazy. Then I realized that it wasn't my choice to do that. Reality itself will take that me there when I'm ready. That dissolved the resistance within me, and I was able to relax again. That was my last trip because it made me realize that I can't force it; that only makes it harder. I know exactly what inner work I have to do and what I still need to learn. It's nothing spectacular, but very subtle things in my everyday life. Basically, you could say it's about letting go of all judgment. The trip was very humbling and brought me back down to earth. Once I believe the work is done, I will test it. Hmm, yes, that's a valid point. Psychedelics offer a kind of magnifying glass for a while, providing deep insights into one's individual structure that one wouldn't normally have. Perhaps it's time for me to take another look. It's possible imo, but then you would be letting go of the body once and for all. The body is the main boundary, and if you want to be completely open, you have to let go of this limitation. And in my view, that's not possible as long as you possess the body, even if the identification with it is very weak, as was the case with Ramana, for example. Yes, I agree, it seems very obvious, but it's the hardest thing in the world. And I think what we're both saying is the same. You call it cleansing the psychological structures, and that's inner clarity, which leads to true knowledge.

  8. What is some music you like?

  9. I provided an answer to this very question lastnight but it looks like the thread was deleted for no good reason. Not a good look. Not the first time either. I wonder why that is. Anyhoo, Hojo has your answer.

  11. Starving Patriarchy

    Willy Phallicus replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    If you were approaching this in good faith, you would actually make an attempt to debunk what Im saying instead of just pointing out how you dont like it. Thats what a good faith discussion is, in case you were wondering. Then why are you making it about me? I am countering the OP because the OP is wrong. If Patriarchy is bad then Matriarchy is bad when you're talking egalitarianism. Now this is the point someone would refute that with empirical evidence but the OP has no case of any kind and doesn't try to hide their stupidly obvious bias. Just saying it doesn't make it true. You kind of have to back up what you're saying. Im not just telling the OP they are wrong Im showing them why they are wrong. Big difference. Matriarchy being totally antithetical to equality and thus being stupid ain't my fault. I'm just pointing it out. Maybe less shooting the messenger and more critical thinking. Men didnt just wake up one day and decide to be the dominant sex. Nature created this dynamic and it holds true for just about every mammal on the planet. Bitching and moaning about it ain't going to change that fact. The notion that females are just poor innocent victims of a brutal male system is an extremely elitist stance. Females are fully complicit in this system and its hypocrisy and that's the information everyone needs to transcend it into equilibrium but no, they just want matriarchy to take over the world because "men suck".
  12. I don't mean to be contrarian, but, when I read this, I couldn't help the many "what-abouts" bubbling up in my mind. There's different types of meaning, isn't there? There's the type of meaning which is best understood as an inner-experience, a construction of the human mind. But, there's also the meaning of outer-manifestations, which are almost universal. Simple, Concrete, down-to-earth meaning? The "handle for the axe", for example. The cavity in the piston. The hanger for the jacket. Dovetail joints. Etc. While, these concrete "meanings", if you'll permit its usage here, seem trivial, what if they're not?

  13. How Can I Become an Alpha Male?

    bazera replied to 9735557264's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Set goals and work on achieving them, actually do the work, this will increase your self-esteem because it will raise your sense of self-efficacy. Take more responsibility, in any way you can, over many areas of your life. Take care of your body. Figure out what you want out of life and start working towards that. Contemplate why do you even want to be percieved as "alpha" male? But essentially, challenge yourself daily / weekly / monthly / yearly and build up your life, do hard things, do things that scare you initially.
  14. Stay away from him and act like he doesn't exist as much as possible if you see him again. The fact is that there's nothing to gain from him in injuring or threatening you at this point. If he does, he'll be arrested. A good approach for dealing with negative thoughts is to simply notice them and then do nothing. You do that enough, the thought loses power. You stop sustaining it with negative energy. Try it. Bullies live of the negative reactions they get from people. Most of the time it's sufficient to remove yourself and ignore them. Practice emotional non-reactivity. Training MMA, going to the gym, etc. are good for building confidence and self-development, and you should, but you'll find the greatest safety in numbers. Social isolation is the biggest predictor of being targeted.
  15. The answer is simple and for most utterly unsatisfying. Because of that, knowing the answer doesn't end the corresponding inner turmoil. Question: "Why do we even exist?" Answer: "Because Infinity is incomplete without us." Why is always casting backwards, looking into the past, reliving it, completing the narrative with "could-be-events". It can be useful, but many abuse this type of cognition, like a drug.

    Buy my course, send me $997 and I'll give you a fool proof method to become an alpha male or your money back* (T&Cs apply)
  17. Nofap is internet brainrot. It overemphasizes failure while giving next to no tangible results. In practice you end up just feeling guilty about jerking it. Stop conforming to fringe ideologies, sects and cultural moralizations. Their goal is rarely genuine self-improvement. If your watching too much porn, the deeper issue is likely too much free time and a lack of solid goals. Aimless people turn into bad people as they default to the path of no resistance.

    NewKidOnTheBlock replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    Any of you I challenge you, try put this stuff into any A.I. and it'll tell you, in a civilized polite way that you're essentially retarded, that you are incorrect and that things are much more complicated and nuanced, it's gonna list you all the factors you have not considered. Even wokie ChatGTP should tell you that despite how ass kissing and censored it is LOL
  19. Rolf I like to remember what @Hojo once said - never trust an old white dude guru (or some such words), white people did some bad voodoo juju in our past 🤣🤣🤣

  20. How Can I Become an Alpha Male?

    Carl-Richard replied to 9735557264's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    The real answer: become a man with a vision. What I was initially going to answer jokingly was "be funny and a be a psychopath" because I'm watching this podcast where John Zherka is being very funny and perhaps a bit too psychopathic (depending on what you like of course): That kind of world is way beyond normalcy, it should mostly be looked at as entertainment; any lessons you draw should be way generalized. And by the way, I'm not condoning Nick Fuentes or anybody else by posting this

    Basman replied to 9735557264's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Learn to create results. Confidence comes from surviving failure, and failure and set-backs are indicitative of progress. You need to take lots of action towards your goals. Make sure to define clearly what your goals are and work incremently on them everyday. What differentiates jocks and chads from other men is that they are outwardly action oriented. Don't think in terms of embodying a stereotype or being always keyd on and aggressive. Pick your battles. Sometimes its better to be submissive when the cost winning a situation is not worth it. Any humilliation, failure and set-back you suffer is endurable.
  22. Maybe it's odd that you exist... because you don't?

  23. How Can I Become an Alpha Male?

    Harikrishnan replied to 9735557264's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Confidence in oneself. Inner knowing if what you are. Knowing what you want. Taking responsibility of life. Being actively participating in life. Protecting. Taking responsibility of others as well. Breaking barriers you have created for yourself. Accepting reality, Accepting everything. Being decisive.
  25. Everything is impermanence. Any attempt to attain permanence from what is ultimately impermanence would be like trying to hold water with a sieve. For those who are currently alive and breathing, we’re in this together , all aboard the same sinking titanic. Happy Deathday. 🥳🎁
  26. darkwood2darkwood Any of you guys play Darkwood? It's an amazingly gritty top down horror game and there's a sequel coming out made by a different studio, but they're using 3D assets instead of 2D. It looks like a game you'd play on mobile compared to the amazing art from the original
  27. I was thinking at least building a thread for discussion of the clips.
