Prison should be his wake-up call. But he's in so deep, I doubt even that will change him. He doesn't know how to produce meaningful, quality content. That's too much work for him. So he specializes in scum content.

Nope, I don't like Fallout as a narrative. It is too... something about it is off. The original Fallout 1 & 2 world is good. But the Bethesda version of it I don't like. Bethesda turned it into something plasticy, cheap, trite, overused, self-indulgent, lame. Bethesda Fallout has a certain stink to it. I do not like video games turned into cinema. It is never a good idea. Games are not cinema.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

Vitaly has made a 15-year-long career out of pranks and trolling people for clicks. Of course he is an immature jackass. Confronting him will not change that. Vitaly is what happens when your entire career is about making clickbait. He reminds me of those Jake Paul brothers.

That is a guaranteed disaster. There cannot be a relationship when values are so misaligned. Your girl needs to be on your wavelength. If you are into self-actualization, you can't marry someone who isn't, regardless of how nice or sexy she is. Your core values need to align, otherwise it will not last. You need to screen women on values before you fall for them.

Yes. Once I get warmed up and really into. But entering that flow doesn't always succeed. Sometimes I feel uninspired, exhausted, or distracted. No. You don't have to read anything. Reading can help, but it can also be a distraction. The utility of reading is learning techniques and learning about the many traps in this work. Without reading you are likely to fall into a serious trap and get stuck in it for years. For me there is no direct connection. I like game design just because it lets me be creative and imagine cool worlds that cannot exist in normal life. The most direct connection between design and philosophical work is that design is about thinking in a big picture, holistic way, and so it philosophical work. I have a designer's mind and I think like a designer. This is the common thread between game design and philosophy. A designer's mind must be very holistic because you need to take the entire product into account. A designer needs to see the game in its totality, not just in parts. A good game is designed top-down as one unified whole. Which is of course how God works. Thinking very big picture, like a film director, is a very good skill to develop. I have that kind of director's mindset. It is the mindset of an executive, a CEO -- where you are responsible for the entirety of a thing. To invent a game, you must be responsible for the entire thing. It's the mindset of founders.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

I will be appearing on a technical science podcast soon. It is run by academics. Probably within a month. We are still scheduling. Should be interesting. I already had a friendly chat with them and it went well. They ask good skeptical questions. They are materialists but openminded. I plan to be doing more interview appearances this year across various channels and platforms.

Vitaly? Lol

Then you are in trouble.

Interesting. I don't know.

It is just traditionally how yoga is taught. Yoga is very conformist. You are not allowed to question or challenge the guru.

If a man does not meet her needs, yes, she will replace him. But it is silly to expect otherwise. It is your job to know her needs and satisfy them within reason.

I have undertaken Leo's Geography Challenge, and I encourage ya'll to join me. Post your updates and share your favorite documentaries here.

I didn't mean that he himself is conformist. I mean his teachings are taught as conformity. He teaches you to follow his yogic methods strictly, without thought, question, improvisation, or customization. You must do it his way and he never even explains why. This is his style and it breeds insane conformity among his students. If Sadhguru told his students to lick their own assholes to reach God, they would do it without question.

I am designing a new kind of psychedelic group retreat. It is fully legal and will be held in Las Vegas. The purpose is not for fun but to do serious God-Realization with guidance from me. This is an experimental thing which is still in the planning stages. Who is interested?

Life owes you nothing. Yes, you can fail for any number of reasons beyond your control.

No. Go ask him.

That's what my blog and book list does.

I can't teach you everything. I have to specialize in what I'm best at. As I have said many times before, you need to be learning from multiple sources, not just myself. I have said this from day one. No one man can teach you everything you need to ace life. You need to take more responsiblity over your learning process. No teacher is not a guarantee of anything. It is your responsibilty to sort out which teachings are applicable to you and which are not. I cannot do that for you because I don't even know you. I've also warned that my teachings are very advanced. Which means they are not suitable for everyone. You should supplement my teachings with more basic newbie self-help content. I don't cover all those basic topics because I focus on the most serious existential topics that few others comprehend. I have never even implied that you should mix psychedelics with anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. That is a crazy thing to do. I don't know why you would place that on me. Well, actually, I know exactly why. You want someone to blame for lack of success. I get it, but you cannot become successful that way. You cannot blame teachers when you don't get results. Teachers never promise you results because results require insane effort and intelligence from you. There is guaranteed formula for success. You have to actually create the result.

This is just not how most women behave. Women are loyal to a fault. You have to do something seriously off for a woman to replace you once she has fallen for you. Your view of woman nature is highly biased and not representative. If you want to have healthy relations with women you need to deconstruct this warped, biased view of them. Or it will really fuck you up. I have never had a problem with girlfriends being disloyal.

Well, all Awakening is self-evident. There cannot be anything outside of Awakening to validate it with. God has no one to ask, "Hey, bro, am I really God or am I just crazy?" Self-deception is always possible. So there is never a guarantee you aren't somehow fooling yourself. This is always the case regardless of what you do. For example, Peter Ralston swore to me and laughed at me that there can be no deeper Awakening than what he had. Then years later he discovered a deeper Awakening. Could I realize something deeper in the future? Of course. I am counting on it. Well, he is Awakened, the question is to what degree, which is hard to answer. I got nothing against Sadhguru. Learn from him if you wish. Of course there will be overlap between my teachings and any serious yogi. I push Kriya yoga too. My only complaint about his style of teaching is that it is extremely conformist. But that is true of all yoga, so par for the course. I don't demand any teacher to be perfect.

Correct. God is clay minus the clay, since clay is finite. Infinite clay = Nothingness.

Stop casting others here as some mindless cult zombies. You disagree with me. That is all. That is fine. But that doesn't give you the right to discredit others here who have done serious work and have Awoken to Love. Contrary to what you believe, many people have realized that God is Love, and not because I brainwashed them into believing it. I have never avoided any of your questions or arguments. I have answered them all. But I am not going to keep endlessly arguing about this because it is clear your mind is made up.

Having fun wingmen is the #1 tip for going out. Yes, going solo is brutally hard so you won't be motivated to do it. You need good wingmen who make you wanna go out for the fun.
