  1. I don't find Hawley charismatic. He's kinda stiff and cold. Looks like Trump will win the 2024 Rep nomination unless he is in jail or in a hospital bed.
  2. Well, my job is to twist your nipple to get you to grow yourself
  3. Stop blindly holding the words of others. Contemplate independently.
  4. Of course it's normal. You're just a baby and you're just starting to learn how deceptive and illusory reality is. Existential crises are an acquired taste. Try to enjoy the process of inquiring into reality. It's not supposed to be a negative thing. Reality is a wondrous thing to contemplate and explore. Frame it as exploration. When I was your age I was doing philosophy and I loved it. Stop trying to reach some ultimate destination and enjoy the journey. This shouldn't be too hard since you're an INTP so you should love this stuff.
  5. I did anesthesia last year. It feels exactly like falling asleep. Nothing special about it at all. You fall asleep within seconds and wake up as if nothing happened. I woke up feeling very well-rested, even though I was only under for 30 minutes. It felt more like I slept for 8 hours.
  6. That's because the pundits get paid for writing articles, not for predicting markets. Market prediction advice is the oldest grift on Wall Street. Don't fall for it. None of the "experts" know how to predict the market. Which is why they charge commission or sell you their advice instead.
  7. You are still floating in Nothingness right now. But, you can also have "blank" experiences of Nothing. It feels very similar to what you might imagine the universe was like before the Big Bang. Have you never died in your dreams and experienced just being a conscious void for a while? That is it.
  8. Be careful with pundits making any kind of market predictions. They have a history of being very wrong. I remember back in 2010 there were pundits talking about how the US economy was going to go into a huge double-dip recession, so sell everything and buy gold. And then there was a 10 year bull run. These pundits don't know shit. They make their money selling you their punditry. If they really knew what the market was going to do they would be quietly playing the market, not loudly playing you.
  9. That's not gonna fly in court. Could also be the drugs.
  10. @Parththakkar12 You have been given the answer. You guys need to stop with these ridickulously self-biased threads in this sub-forum. If you're going to pursue dating advice, try to do it without so much blind selfishness and self-bias in your thinking. Stop with the gender wars.
  11. He's got something. Whether it is God-realization, I don't know. I can't stand listening to those Neo-Advaita types.
  12. Yes, possible. You'd start off with a shorter period, probably 6 months. Search around. Ashrams are more common. Especially in India. But you can find ashrams in other places too.
  13. Except there is the issue of resisting arrest for 30 minutes. It will be a hairy case.
  14. Unless it will raise the level of conscious and development of each person, it will not work. The root problem is too much selfishness. You can't fix this problem in any other way than to reduce selfishness in all voters.
  15. He ain't got shit. You ain't got it until you realize you are God.
  16. You don't need to remember the details. Underline every book as you read it, then you can quickly re-read a book within 20 mins just by reading the underlined parts -- if you need to refresh your memory. Underlining is crucial and it takes way less time than taking notes.
  17. If you ain't getting laid, that isn't the woman's responsibility but yours. Responsibility 101.
  18. Hehe, Have you considered how profoundly selfish that position is?
  19. I can only help expand the consciousness of one who wants it expanded.
