  1. Past hour
  2. Yes, and more. If God is literally infinite then it possesses any and all. It's a static set of nearly infinite events. Whether or not these events are manifesting is best described as a timeline. The manner in which the events are arranged, and the corresponding ambiance of each event is variable and permits agency, intention, and nuance.
  3. Study self-compassion by Kristin Neff and try this test: https://self-compassion.org/self-compassion-test/
  4. Sorry, but for someone who raves so much about logic, you just don't seem very capable of (meta)logical thinking. Also, you seem to have some kind of chip on your shoulder. So I frankly don't really see the point in talking to you. Take care, brother.
  5. @Thought Art @Majed Have you guys watched the video on Islam? I think he's too nice and poetic about it if anything and he doesn't go in depth into the origins of Islam and how it was birthed out of the bloodshed of thousands and immediately lead to many civil wars in the middle east called the Fitnas and the caliphates that grew out of it like the Umayyad Caliphate were not any more peaceful than the ones that came before the time of Muhammad.
  6. Seems chill to me
  7. UK is in trouble. 71% is under drought. Now they are facing a food crisis. Trump shuts down US climate information
  8. You seem to not be comfortable with sexuality as I've already mentioned about you on in a previous post. What process have you gone through in your life to get to the root of your own shame and discomfort around it and do you have litmus tests to know if you're creating a positive experience for the women you're interacting with and or if you're reinforcing their bad behaviours? The way you talk about sexuality like it's a dangerous opioid is not healthy in my eyes but I could be wrong.
  9. A lot of people (vast majority) carry a lot of trauma that leads them to pursue things that are fundamnetally not good for them. Human mind is rather fragile. A lot of people will get hurt and get jaded by going through these experiences. It is not as simple as "having fun in the moment is good for you". I mean you could use the same arguments for doing drugs or any unhealhty habbit that clearly have a long term effects on you and those are usually not positive. With a lot of self-awarreness you can easily spot this in people. Many time I have met woman (or men but obviously it is easier to spot in people you date) who eventhough they engage in casual stuff and dating, you can sense that they truly do not desire it. And they are just using it to run away from themselfs.
  10. Today
  11. haha glad someone caught it
  12. The guys who get laid the most, are players by definition. A player isn't gonna shy away from sexualizing the conversation and showing sexual intent. He's not gonna befriend you to then become your boyfriend, he's a player, he uses the player frame not the friend frame. By holding the player frame i mean that from the way he carries himself and his attitude, the girl knows he's a player, and will let him hit on the first night if he attracts her.
  13. I am not sure if you responded to me or someone else. This thread is is called "Islam vs Actualized" and my comment was about you saying Islamic people unable to be happy.
  14. Excluding supplements, I hit these values for minerals. It is possible, but as I mentioned above it may not be enough... Each person's metabolism is different. Notice that some of my target values are even increased — customized to be even higher than what the RDA would suggest.
  15. Another thing to consider is number of meals/day. Ca absorption saturates at around 400mg, so if you only eat, e.g., twice daily, your fractional Ca absorption drops making the total absorption lower compared to eating more times a day.
  16. That's precisely what I described. The nested chain is like a set of bubbles-within-bubbles within God itself. See below. Those beings are "already there" because there are two layers of abstraction between themself and their source of vitality. Maybe think of it this way? Lacking the abstraction the bubbles pop. Another popular analogy: without the shells, plural, separating the "others" from their "source", the others "dissipate" into the source like water drops into a vast endless sea. 100% yes. All of it, the abstraction of the anti-thesis from the source and the corresponding abstraction of others from the anti-thesis, and, the rising-and-striking of individual souls, and their adhesion to the source, and their suckling, and the flowing of vitality. And. The alternative flowing nested chain of energetic principles from others are omni-present and concurrent. All of it is "NOW" for the eternal-infinite-one. Regardless, multiplicity necessarily requires two layers of abstraction if the source intends to be omni-benevolent. My position and reasoning are clear? Even if there's disagreement on the rest Technically. No, that is literally the god you are imagining. The one I'm imagining cannot possibly lack intention, because, the most stable arrangement is God-and-Other. Because there is multiplicity, then, God necessarily has intent. Further, it cannot be a wholly malevolent God. If it were then it would never tolerate sharing itself with an Other. What I'm saying is: in order for multiplicity to exist, if the source is infinite, then, there is necessarily an oppositional force involved. This solves the problem of evil, because, the problem of evil asserts: There can never be an agent, who is rationally deemed "good" if that agent tolerates evil when they have the power and knowledge to prevent it. The "problem" in the Problem of Evil is an accusation of incoherence. "That God is incoherent, contradictory nonsense." Then the topic shifts to unliftable-rocks. ( Which is a different challenge, but also asserts incoherence ). Because, this God, the one I'm actually imagining, cannot be indifferent, and cannot be completely malicious, then, it's not a problem to talk about the Will of this God. It can be spoken about because, this God is necessarily at least somewhat benevolent. That means a human heart-and-mind, a psyche, which is also at least somewhat benevolent, can approach a resonance with this God's will and their own. Please remember? Your original objection? ( correct me? ) is that a human cannot discuss God's will. I'm saying, "Yes we can, and here's why." 1) God's will can be defined. Like I had said, there's ten attributes configured in a nearly endless nested chain. Yes, one within the other, that's the nesting. And eventually, yes, if one traces it all the way to its zenith, God is all alone. That means the nearly infinite nested chain of "God's will manifesting" is happening within God itself. Like the city of Atlantis in an "endless sea of God", there's a bubble, surrounded on all sides by God itself. 2) Many firmly assert, that there cannot be an Omni-Benevolent, Eternal, Omnipotent, and Omniscient agent simply because evil exists. As I've shown, that's not true. If God is absolutely literally infinite, and omni-benevolent, then, there must be evil, contrary to the many who object on grounds of incoherence. Denial isn't convincing. Here's how I can convince myself that God must have intention. If god has no intention then evil necessarily cannot exist. Am I wrong? If evil exists, then God must have an intention, otherwise yes, you're right, the most likely conclusion is one of optimistic nihilism. ? Do you have any other objections to discussing God's will that haven't been addressed by myself or others ?
  17. The key is to track calcium markers such as PTH, serum Ca and P, 25-OH-Vit-D, 24h urinary Ca, among others. On Cronometer, I eat 1000mg+ of Ca from diet daily and ~400mg Oxalate. Yet, I was Ca deficient, with elevated PTH and low serum P. I discovered I need to supplement 600-1000mg on top of that, reaching an estimated total intake of 1600-2000mg to hit the PTH and urinary Ca excretion targets I'm after. A blood test like this followed by appropriate intervention can save one from osteoporosis and fractures 30 years down the road.

  19. @Adrian colby I checked it out. A little hard to read the low res. download but watching some videos it's basically a map for a new age movement started by an artist/entrepreneur. It fits the bill here for sure.
  20. Yes it's also more fun! You create a friend group and community around your interest and you become the center of it so you have more socialization but growth in your corner. I think anyone can do decent on dating apps, you just gotta take photography seriously, dress well, know your angles and find the aesthetic locations in your city to portray the image you want. Have you ever worked with a professional photographer before?
  21. I actually couldn't agree more. The men I know that aren't involved in business endeavours are pretty limited in their skillset and don't have a pretty core skills to life I find. I see it especially when I have some clients that come from a smaller city and certain simple things seem to overwhelm them like traffic and getting a dinner reservation at a nice restaurant. Let alone getting into more complicated social circle concepts like booking a venue, planning an event, hosting people and making sure they have a good time, planning other events, etc. A lot of life can be broken down areas of skill and the more high impact skills you have the more valuable you'll become as a man.
  22. I think a lot of times people over-romanticize connection. In my opinion deep connections comes from relatability and understanding how someone sees the world because you see it the same way as them so you feel a deep sense of being understood when being with this person. That can just as easily lead to massive codependency, trauma bonding and karmic attachments as a lot of times people that see the world in the same way as you have the same blindspots and are stuck on the same video game level of life as you are. The more I grow up and self-actualize the more I'm able to connect with a wide variety of people that don't fit my perspective and paradigms and that's lead to a breath of new experiences. Throwing game knowledge and building social capital lets you then be able to attract a wide range of people that want to spend time with you because you've now surpassed the paradigm that they are stuck in but can also relate and bond from it without being judgemental about it.
