You're wrong. If there are no consequences many will keep pushing for far more than they need for survival. Why do rich people commit crimes? Thus why I also agree with your point that the elites need to be policed as much as the masses. That was my idea with the AI system that asseses the actions of every human on earth and reports them when they fit a certain criminal threshold. Who determines what constitutes a crime today? Criminology has been a field for a couple hundred years now, we are still figuring out how to run a proper society. It's a fair point. Some perspectives around it seem more valid than others. Knowing that you are surveilled makes crime way less likely though. That's why police foot patrols are effective. If you know that there are three cameras on every street block and you want to mug someone but all the friends you have that have tried to rob someone went to jail for it; you will be way less likely to try it. If a couple of your boys got a few free thousand $$$ by robbing people and got away with it then fuck it why not give it a shot?

We already have laws where the mere sight of something is so offensive that we put you in jail for it (indecent exposure, which in the legal definition requires deliberation, hence it could be considered as a form of evil). Apparently, ugly people do not meet that requirement (we don't make them cover up their face or whatever makes them ugly and if they don't, we throw them in jail). -
Of course. I ain’t walking around the grocery store seeking sexual attention. But I still loving wearing sexy outfits because I’m bored when I do it.

Agreed. Opposite of love isn't hate. Its indifference. -
No I think he's right and Granny knows what she's doing, a good scarf is where it's at. I don't have an upper age boundary to my romantic conquests and the winters are cold here. If she makes me some cool scarves she's welcome to join the harem, if she makes me look sweet then I'll pick up even more women and we all keep winning baby.

I think it's important to understand personality types as survival strategies. Being an intellectual is a survival strategy more than really deep down who you are. Especially if we break down what being an intellectual usually entails: being more withdrawn, observing before acting, using pattern recognition to spot trends, analysis oriented, etc. Those sound like ways to deal with an environment, problems and overall threats to me. Now if we look at how masculinity and femininity manifest in women; doesn't it map out pretty much perfectly to survival strategies? Some women are raised in environments where being expressive and girly is what's gonna solve their problems and increase their status. Some other women have to suppress that and basically act like men to be safe. Classic case of Mulan from Disney or Arya Stark in Game of thrones. That's the nurture component and I'm sure there are some genetic components as well. I think once an individual is removed from that survival pressure they might still keep some tendencies that are now the core of their personality. I think some of you guys in this thread would be shocked at how different people behave if you give them a safe space to express themselves though. I was the manager of a coffee shop and I had two women and two men working under me. We hired a dude who was really useless and one of the women when working with him was rude, bossy and what some would call masculine. He was an active liability to be around in the cafe though and made everyone's life harder. When she worked with me and I did everything and she didn't really have to do much she was so sweet and nice and expressive and girly and just bringing me cookies and chilling. If you guys want a feminine woman then give her space to be feminine and handle all her problems for her. Some women will still not let their guard down and have some mental hangups that they may choose to work through to relax and let themselves just express unencumbered. The trope of the alpha male has been bastardized but it really just mean a competent man that can handle society and the evils of the world on her behalf. If you got enough money that she will never have to stress about it, are fit enough that her nervous system knows that if shit goes down she's safe, if you have communication skills to not antagonize her when conflict arises and the emotional intelligence to understand the issues that you're both dealing with and work through them positively then I think you will find that most women are quite feminine in your presence. Most men aren't that(not that I have fully realized that myself) and are literally an active liability to be around. No wonder they find women uninterested in them, combative and unpleasant to deal with.

Many prefer being hated instead of ignored. At least you made an impression. -
I'm not sure I would've started out on this forum if I had LLMs. My first real post was me asking for advice on something.

I agree when I work on businesses I'm not interested in it's very hard for me to be disciplined and follow through long term beyond a couple of months since I don't actually really give a fuck about what I'm doing. My passion projects have always gotten me better results, I'm trying to double back on that philosophy with the game project I'm working on at the moment. How is the music going? I think if that's your passion then you should triple down on that and there are many ways to make a lot of money in that industry.

I don't think you can make that point at all my man. I've already said that you can argue that it's just as good if not better for kids to be raised in a polyamorous household. Studies back there being no observed difference in outcomes for kids raised in either type of household. I like to build communities of like-minded people since then we can elevate the quality of discussions, interactions and overall level of results compared to baseline society. I do it with my creative communities as well as some business clubs I run. I think the baseline of humans is quite low level and mediocre. I think the same thing can be achieved for a group relationship that produces a higher level of interdependence between the partners and I think if I look at my life over a 30+ years horizon if I can manage to have a few quality women by my side to build my household and later on dynasty I think we can achieve great things and have a blast in the process. Also like our wise friend said here I dislike the anti sex sentiment that the spiritual community tends to have. I have a high sex drive and enjoy exploring sexuality and BDSM so me and my women will have great times that's for sure. It's fine but I want to keep pushing on this because I think we unearthed some interesting psychology here. Clearly you dislike being challenged and tend to lash out as a result. You said that your dominance trait tended to become a problem in your relationships. Do you think it's related?

So brain cancer had to exist so that the self preservation operating process mechanism could inform itself it is suffering? -
Schizophonia replied to PolyPeter's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I was dismissive but what I meant was that if you are awake, if you know there is no separation, it makes no sense to complain about "others" or to judge them. Yes I am projecting onto you; I am talking to myself, it's all we do in the absolute. -

I didn’t get enlightened because I didn’t get a round to it. -
I'm still gaining clarity on all the details, what is very clear is that no matter what, your POV is absolute, your consciousness is absolute, your self is infinite and absolute. Reality is one, all-inclusive, all-connected existence, then from an Existential point of view, there's only itself: an Infinite Consciousness/Being groundless ground that fragments in endless fractal multiplicity.

@Yimpa Just increase in vibration. Less thinking and more bodely sensation (as a human). To the point where the vibration becomes so strong that is spreads across the surrounding, the time stops and "physical reality" just dissolves. You know the feeling when taking a hit of 5-meo-dmt and you feel light at a feather and feel like you are accelerated to lightspeed.

I was thinking and contemplating this issue and i realized that career and work takes hours and hours each day. If you aren't passionate or have some affinity with your work it can get really risky. The trap many people fall into is finishing high school young and dumb then entering university, choosing a major just because it pays well. This is more dangerous than trying crack. When you're naive you think that's a good strategy, but upon contemplation, you realize that as a human being if your career isn't fulfilling you, you'll fall prey to all sorts of traps which end up hurting you in your search of happiness and fulfillment. Think of happiness as a spectrum, happiness on one end, and suicidal depression on the other, and in between all sorts of dysfunctions and pathologies and addictions and so on... Happiness and fulfillment aren't optional in life. They are fundamental to your well being and not falling into self destructive behaviors. And it is simply impossible to be happy working a career you hate and isn't motivated by and not passionate about.

having been in the tech space (open source work), there's an ongoing trend for newbies to just consult ai rather than asking other people, which in my eyes is a great loss as the exchange of ideas and the friction you encounter with differing perspectives is the heart of real learning. i've personally been able to learn alot + meet cool people by approaching technology this way, but i also understand that llms can ease the onboarding process for someone onto any domain of life. i still think forums and indie-ish internet communities will still thrive, as there is something invaluable about simply exchanging ideas with another.

I was emotionally not really about what to do with my last date. Our first date wasnt a perfect match but somehow the onlynext date I could think of was cooking at my spot which is quite intimate and risky if it doesnt go well and I want to keep a nice connection with her afterwards. I dont think she asked me out to smash with me so a quick nut would be the wrong direction + its not actually what I really crave, I want connection as well. Just got the perfect idea, BILLIARD!! Its fun, light and not to intimate. Well if she is interested in it ofc. But in suggesting that I give a good direction.

I mean yea thats what I am doing. I'm gonna try to go through a lot of the recommended study. But yea I was just curious to how important it is.
