How is this anything new? This design has been around for 80 years. In order for this spinning design to work it must have an enormous diameter. It doesn't work at small diameters. The problem is it will be too expensive to build. Once they realize the cost is crazy, they will scrap the project.

Just small practical baby steps, done consistently each day. You need to build up micro-momentum and macro-momentum. You do this by consistently executing and taking action. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. Starting small is key, so you don't overwhelm yourself. Set small practical goals for yourself and then just execute without thinking. Get out into the world more, do more physical activities like socializing face to face. Force yourself to go to bars, clubs, social settings every week, consistently. Don't try to do everything at once. That won't work. You need to break it up into small, concrete steps you can take each day and week. For example, a concrete step is to go out to a bar/club at least 2 nights a week. It doesn't matter where. It doesn't matter if you talk to a girl or not. Just at least build the habit of physically leaving your house and entering a bar and staying there for at least 2 hours. There is no reason you can't do that. After you succeed at that, then your next goal will be to talk to 5 girls per night. And so on. Hard to answer this. I integrate insights why driving around in my car and contemplating for hours. I don't worry about thought loops or ego identification at all. I just contemplate and things work themselves out in the long run. Your focus needs to be on truth, not you. Your contemplation is for having insight into truth and reality, not just stories you tell yourself. I did not read anything in your post that shows an Awakening has happened. You had some personal insights into your own life. That is not Awakening. That's just insight into your personal life. Awakening is not about your human life story. 1) You need to begin a serious project of mastering basic survival: job/career, dating, socializing, fitness, diet, etc. These are all practical skills you can learn and they require no deep philosophical insight. You can buy online courses and books that teach you all those skills. Then just execute. But you can't do all those areas at once, that is too overwhelming, so you need to decide on some priorities. 2) Don't dwell on the dysfunction of society. That is irrelevant. Society has always been dysfunctional. Just focus on your life purpose, doing beautiful work, developing yourself, dating, fitness, self-education, training skills, business, spiritual practice like Kriya yoga, etc. Stop thinking about anything that isn't constructive to the betterment of your life. if it is not helping you achieve a goal, stop thinking it. Only think of things that help you achieve positive goals. 3) There is no point in worry about the ego. Just do spiritual practices like Kriya yoga, self-inquiry, meditation, and psychedelics. This will handle the ego in the long-term. At your age worrying about the ego is pretty silly. Focus on mastering basic survival and keep a spiritual practice going in the background.

Truth is more complex than your notion of it as peace, love, and rainbows. Truth is also a fist through your door.

This place is just the organic sum of all the cats who roam here. Many of ya'll have your weird, quirky points of view. That's what diversity entails.

Watching cartoons can produce genuine awakening. That's not the issue. The issue is whether it is efficient, and you can know the answer to that question by just looking at the people in those programs. Do any of them look or sound Awake to you?

I didn't like it. The combat is too fast paced, with no blocking, and all the RPG elements and loot has been stripped down. I literally used the same weapon and armor for most of the game because there is nothing better than starting gear. There are no meaningful stat upgrades. I was really disappointed. It felt like a cheap version of Dark Souls. The world and enemies are cool though. Just the combat is not nearly as good as Dark Souls. It would have been so much better if it followed the Dark Souls recipe. I feel Bloodborne is overrated. I know some people love it. But that is for its world.

It doesn't matter. Whatever you feel like. You can try hundreds of openers. The best openers are the ones that are most natural to you. I posted a list of openers on my blog a year back. Look it over for ideas.

Imagine that's not what I wanted.

When you are good that can work. When you suck then you need a lot more chances to screw up.

That's the human condition. Any community will have that.

You expect a group of humans with diverse perspectives to not argue? Surely you're kidding. You guys want this place to not be a cult, but when you actually get that, you complain. I do not control anyone here. This place is hearding cats.

Those two are more Orange than Green. Gays are not automatically Green. Many Orange and Blue gays around. Those two are both conservatives and anti-wokes. They are the Europeans who happily genocided the Natives.

That's the slave part.

Unpaid overtime is how the capitalist system milks workers. American companies do it too. They do it because to them it is free profit. And all they care about is profits. The one upside in Japan is that Japanese companies hire employees for life. So there is loyalty from the company to the employee. And the Japanese have a law that forces companies to exhaust all possible options before laying off employees. Very different from American corporate culture. But the downside is that Japanese corporations treat you like their slave.

Don't travel to big cities. Travel to natural areas. The point of travel is to see the beauty of the Earth, not the hives of the two-legged zombies who shamble upon it.

Haha! That was the most unhinged I've ever been in public. They were about to call the police on me. The dentist kept ordering a crown and the shape kept being wrong, so after about 3 rounds of that he didn't want to try any more and didn't want to refund my money, and when I was trying to discuss the issue with him, he walked away from me and locked himself in his office. So I had to go and bang his office door with my fist. That dentist office got a rude awakening and quickly refunded my money. But they made me sign a paper that I am never allowed in their office again nor sue them. I happily signed and walked away with my check. I feel your pain man. Getting a good crown/implant is surprisingly hard. Very hit or miss. You gotta get lucky. The problem is crowns are done my remote labs who don't know the shape of your teeth exactly. So they ballpark it too much and miss the shape and color. The reason I beat down his door was to develop my backbone. It was a personal development exercise for me, since I never do that sort of thing. I figured, now or never. Do I regret it? No. I am tired of getting squeezed by dentists.

Death by work does solve all problems. Can't argue with that logic.

It is mostly psychological in the sense that you need to have the right psychology to go out and do the consistent action steps to meet girls. If your mindset is one that results in low action-taking then results become impossible.

They aren't really choosing. They are conformist zombies with no conscious choice. If they spent 10 years learning all the Actualized.org theory, doing the consciousness work, then they could make a free choice. And they would never choose that lifestyle freely. They are under cult-levels of indoctrination. You'd need a cult deprogramming intervention on them just to free them from that mind-trap. But in Japan this is just considered normal.

The bot under-performed. It made a couple of terrible moves which made it too easy for me. But hey, for my first game in a year, I'll take the victory. I was surprised I was still playing at my highest rating of 2050. I assumed I would regress from not playing for so long.

Where is our Christmas chess puzzle?!

That's why they call it pop. Pop go bop.

You may as well rename pop music to conformist music.

People seem to be getting into Kriya Yoga after my video, and lots of questions are coming up, so I thought it would be best to accumulate them all in one place. Post all your Kriya Yoga questions and tips here. Over time this should become a valuable resource for people. Similar to our monstrously large 5-MeO-DMT Mega-Thread. Feel free to share your advice, tricks, and progress reports. If we have a lot people doing Kriya, it would be cool to see how many people start experiencing gains and mystical experiences, and how quickly. It would be awesome if we had like 100 people post a progress report after 3, 6, and 12 months of practice. In the name of pseudo-science
