If anyone would pay $2 to troll me, it would be Adeptus, haha

Yeah, I saw that part. But I though Dr K did a very professional and wise thing to carefully take back his over-promise. Again, it's not like therapists can't make mistakes. Dr K made a mistake in the moment out of empathy and then later reflected on the impracticality of his promise and explained to Reckful what happened. This is the proper way to handle such a mistake. But you have to consider the alternative: Reckless sitting at home alone without anyone at all to talk to. Which is why he keeps saying "This is not therapy". Dr K is doing coaching. And there is no licensing for coaching. I don't understand why Dr K doesn't just call it online life coaching.

But the whole point is that he's not doing therapy and these are not his clients. Obviously he was trying to help Reckless by being his friend when on one else would. I agree that over-promising is a problem. But was Dr K not there for him? What happened exactly? Also, don't forget, therapists can make mistakes. Mr Girl, yes. On the whole, Dr K's project to help gamers with psychological issues is a very good one. Call it whatever you want. Call it life coaching or therapy or whatever. It's needed. People kill themselves every day anyways.

Yup, hence the need to train it. That's easy. As long as she clears your looks threshold -- that is, you'd we happy sleeping with a girl who looks like that -- then you approach and get to know her personality. If her personality sucks then you politely move on to the next girl. No one is forcing you to sleep with her just because you approach her. Get her number, take her on a date, see how you like her personality. Then sleep with her if you do. Otherwise you don't have to keep seeing her beyond the 1st date. This is what dating is for. Yes, lower your standards initially. You won't be sleeping with most of these girls anyway. You gotta practice first. If you see a Wow girl, def approach, but don't only look for Wow girls starting off. You need practice and you don't even care about looks that much. Of course Honestly, at your current stage you should be talking to anyone with a vagina. You need basic practice socializing with strangers.

So, just like it's always been for the last 10,000 years?

That??!! That is the scandal? Ahahahahaha.... Mr Girl is turning into a professional troll.

The only one who can awaken is you. Forget about Sadhguru, he's just a dream. Forget about me too while you're at it.

Sounds like awakening

What is this tempest in a teapot scandal? I would rather have Dr. K talking to gamers than no one talking to them -- which would be the most likely scenario if he stopped talking to them. Not to mention how many people are helped who tune in to watch the show. The notion that these gamers were gonna go find their own therapists if not for Dr K is laughable to me. What am I missing in this scandal?? I haven't watched all the videos.

1) Because survival require selfish zero-sum actions. Or you die. Even for Jesus Christ or The Buddha to live he must walk, step on, and kill many ants. Awakening does not make you an angel. You still gotta shit like everyone else. 2) Realizing that one's human identity is illusory is much easier than changing your entire identity to some other. Awakening is not personal development and awakening is not mastery. 3) Creating a highly conscious community/society is an other order of magnitude higher and a separate matter from awakening. You could have an awakening and then go shoot up a school. That doesn't mean the awakening didn't happen or wasn't real. It's just that one awakening does not transform a lifetime of bad mental habits. Also, most of the people claiming awakening are not really awake. So there's that.

Developing a game requires a massive budget. Web development was a way to earn money to fund such projects. FYI, I've been designing websites since I was in middle school. So it wasn't a big switch. I already had the skill set.

If Nahm is willing to correct his communication style, he can stay as a non-Mod member.

This is exactly the thing I don't want you guys to absorb. You can be extremely spiritually advanced AND communicate with humans clearly. It's not just that you didn't understand him because you were not woke enough. I also didn't understand him in many cases. It is a problem of social acuity.

People who repeatedly provoke these gender wars are going to start getting warnings.

Locking because this will just turn into another gender war. Do not debate with the opposite sex. Just go date however you feel is right for you. You don't need to convince anyone of your dating strategy.

These gender wars are getting old. Men and women are never going to see eye to eye on dating. The bias is baked into your mind's genetics. Notice that rather than acting it out.

@Nahm Your neo-Advaita talk is getting tiresome. It does not help people awaken. Please stop it.

No, you can make new distinctions without raising your consciousness. You do this all the time as you learn. "Becoming more conscious" is a fundamental or primitive. It cannot be defined or explained by something else. You have to experience it. As an example, you become more conscious when you wake from sleep vs when you are sleeping. You are more conscious when you are meditating vs when you are watching TV.

If you make an other post asking about solipsism, I'm going to ban you. No more answers for you.

Absolute Truth is just raw experience itself. But you're not yet conscious of it. Yes, a raising of your state of consciousness is necessary to have a direct realization of what Absolute Truth is. I can recall the exact moment when I became conscious of what Truth is. And ever since I have never forgotten that.

Dude, just stop. You are not mature enough for the highest things being taught here. Go work on the basics for 5 years.

Because you are dreaming that you're a human. And humans are limited. If you were not dreaming, there wouldn't be any human life at all. There would be nothing. And you are attached to dreaming. You call the end of dreaming "death" and so you avoid it at all costs.

I give women who sleep with me a lot in return. So your strawman doesn't hold. The notion that I would not want to give a woman anything in return is insulting. The value I offer a girlfriend is outrageous. That's like me accusing women of only wanting to sleep with men for their money. The reason guys become "player kind of guys" is because that's who women end up sleeping with! You are not going to sleep with the shy nice guy playing Minecraft in his basement and jerking off to anime.

This is why I say to not listen to advice from girls on how to get laid. A fish is not going to teach a hungry fisherman how to fill his belly. The fish will just tell the fisherman not to fish, thinking the problem has been solved. Then she will end up in the basket of the biggest fisherman in town who already has more fish than can fit in his belly. "Just be yourself". Okay, thanks.

There is much you need to learn about life besides awakening.
