It will depend on the specific job and what you are expected to sell. Many sales jobs are chill and others are not. High pressure sales would be a problem. Is a Tesla dealership doing high pressure sales? No. When I bought my house, the sales lady was very sweet, helpful, and I never felt pressured to buy it. She was not pushing houses on people, she was just there to answer questions and handle the details. Desperate sorts of sales are the problem, where you got a quota to meet or you are fired.

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.

Okay, enjoy being a giga-sheep then.

Nope. Everyone here is a giga-unicorn.

User @outlandish suggested we start a 5-meo mega-thread, as people seem to have lots of general questions about it. You can still create your own individual threads about 5-meo, and trip reports shouldn't be posted in this thread, but otherwise, consider this the place for general 5-meo discussion. Here's a link to Erowid's 5-MeO-DMT Vault, which has a lot of basic information. Note: Do not ask questions here about how to source psychedelics. That is against our Forum Guidelines, so it will be deleted.

No! I am saying you can be truly original, if you just stop being lazy.

No. Alien Love is unimaginable by humans. It's a totally new thing. Just because I use common words to communicate it doesn't mean it is just a simple combination of two known ideas. A seahorse is not the same thing as a sea + a horse. A black hole is not just a black-colored hole.

AI will be used correctly by a few and incorrectly by the vast masses. I can use AI correctly because I spent decades building up a solid epistemic foundation first. But most will not do that.

It doesn't need to be. You are focused on the wrong aspect of originality. Rather than focusing on how nothing is original, you can be busy being original and improving the world.

Bam!

I think it is lame.

@Thought Art Yeah, I've seen it.

I did not like Glass Onion. It is so contrived and absurd.

I've had all sorts of thoughts no one has had. Like Alien Love.

Yup

Win11 ruined the most important thing: File Explorer. They recoded it and now it's a slow, buggy turd sandwhich.

@Davino He just rubs me the wrong way. But I see his value for Stage Orange.

I will have many more practical episodes to come. And really, all of them are practical. I am sick of people acting like everything I say isn't practical. If you can't see the practicality that is your lack of vision. You can use these ideas to become a millionaire.

Slurping noodles is conformist in Japan. They deliberately slurp noodles loudly to suggest they love the food. How insane. Those Japanese have invented levels of conformity unimaginable to white man.

Being so wise and creative is great for survival. You will run circles around people. Superstar success is rare regardless. Most people are not willing to do enough work for it.

Great classic TV about the weirdness of reality. This channel has an excellent recap of the best episodes from the show, along with fascinating behind-the-scenes tid-bits:

They get spiritual fools swooning over them.

Windows has so much powerful software that you can't find anywhere else. Not consumer software but powerful tool software for getting complex stuff done. Win10, highly customized, works very well. No need to upgrade.

Changing your name to a spiritual one, like Adyashanti.

Monkey will tear your johnson off.
