  1. Right. A higher consciousness organism/body/brain is also gonna be different on a material level. It's not absurd at all. The more like an animal you are, the less your cognitive function matters, the less it matters what you eat. Optimizing cognitive function requires more precise nutrition and better health. If you work as a bricklayer it doesn't matter as much what you eat vs if you work as a quantum physicist.
  2. Hasan has an opportunity here to raise awareness for socialism by buying 93 more Porsche Taycans
  3. It demotivates in the sense that it makes me care less about action and achievement but more about being and consciousness. So it shifts my motivations towards deeper and more essential things.
  4. People spreading anti-vax ideology here will be banned.
  5. None of that will change people's desire for material wealth.
  6. No, I mostly motivate myself to take action because I have a keen sense that I will soon be dead and I value the miracle of my life too much to waste a single year of it on dumb shit. So stop joking around and educate yourself seriously.
  7. Talk to girls and find your LP so you can build the right career skills. Do both. Yes, I use visualization a lot. I always have an exciting vision of my future that I am working towards.
  8. Don't remember exactly how many. Between 5-10. Spira, no.
  9. Stop personally attacking each other in this thread or it will be locked down. Discuss your perspectives without demonizing the other side.
  10. Def not. When I would go to Shinzen Young's retreats I would just meditate by myself outside away from everyone else. Then I realized, why the fuck am I not just doing my own solo retreats? And thus the solo retreat was born. But you may be different. You may benefit from the structure and camaraderie of a group retreat.
  11. That may work in 500 years once capitalism has sufficently met most of the world's material needs and people fully evolved past Orange. People are still fundamentally too hungry for material improvements to life.
  12. It's pretty low con overall. But it does force one to grow as a man because it is so challenging. And there can be some high con aspects to it if you do it right. It's basically learning how to socialize. And socialization is pretty low con overall.
  13. You can't really ban politics. It's just what people do.
  14. Other psychedelics might work better on you. The key is to find the right psychedelic for you.
  15. Sure you can! That's how socialism has always worked
  16. I don't support deplatforming Joe Rogan. He should have his show and run it as he likes. People just need to be aware that Joe is not a reliable source of serious understanding about reality.
  17. Go talk to girls and see what works.
  18. There's actually no problem with this forum once you factor in the fact that it is an online forum. An online forum is a specific type of medium. The medium is what it is. It has inherent limits. If you have experience with other online forums you should know what to expect and what not to expect. Spirituality is never going to transcend the structural limits of what an online forum is. You can't just spray paint an online forum with spirituality and make all the limits go away.
  19. Of course having good healthcare helps. But if you have bad health genetically, no riches will save you. Of course that helps.
