  1. Worry about it when it happens. There's nothing your worry will solve right now. If your worry doesn't lead to a resolving action then drop it and be at peace. The only point of worry is to move you into action.
  2. I don't watch anything with superheros or musicals.
  3. You can. Bookmarking is a web browser function, not specific to web pages. If you click on the title of a blog post you are taken to its individual page. You can bookmark that with Ctrl+D. There are also browser extensions like Pocket that give extra bookmarking options.
  4. @Clarence I see so many deficiencies in myself that it's hard to say I am the best at anything. I am different in certain ways, that's for sure. I acknowledge a genetic aspect to my intelligence and psychedelic ability.
  5. Rename Greenland to Orangeland. Anyone who cries free speech really just means: freedom for me to say retarded, delusional, criminal, and selfish things without consequence.
  6. It's just narcissistic delusions. Stop listening to it. He says outrageous things just to get attention to feed his gluttonous ego.
  7. The Fork Gambit: When your opponent forks you, you fork him in the skull with a dinner fork and declare checkmate. Very meta. That'll make him twice before forking you ever again.
  8. The rape and pillage gambit? The Genghis Khan? Going medieval?
  9. The answer is too profound for words. Awakening is the answer.
  10. These things are a joke next to real consciousness. Distractions.
  11. At this point I don't care. It's too ignorant for me to play into acknowledging its validity. I will not feed the populism beast. It's gotten too fat.
  12. It does not exist in my reality.
  13. Sure, one could do that. But it doesn't interest me.
  14. I regard all that as nonsense.
  15. It doesn't matter how developed or how much IQ you have, self-deception will get you. Christianity is a mind virus. If you have been infected with that virus from birth, it is almost impossible to extract. Christianity is HIV for the mind. You can have whatever IQ, it won't cure your HIV. This is why people keep returning to Christianity. It is lodged so deep in their minds that even mystical experience will not dislodge it. In the end people cannot handle total descontruction so they just return to some comfortable construct or fantasy. They were never in it for truth, they were in it for good feelings.
  16. I have no experience of the paranormal stuff he describes. None. It's like he lives in another reality from me.
  17. I don't like that you have to do so much counting just to see who is winning at Go. It's not elegant.
  18. 1) Makes it much easier to keep fat off. 2) Ends pigging out and feeling gross. 3) Most of the benefits will be unfelt and untestable, like living longer with less disease. But you will never even know for sure you received this benefit or if it was a fantasy.
  19. There is a small pro-Western minority in Russia but the vast majority is on board for Putin's nationalist agenda. It suits their level of development and culture. It's always like that in every state. But people are fools and need to be whipped into order and peace with a stick. You give people freedom and they destroy themselves. This is the whole basis for government. That is correct, but he doesn't need to be some Spiral Wizard, he just does what is traditional and maximizes power and survival. That's how all conservatives and authortrians operate. They do what survival demands of them. They do this by linking the state's survival with their personal survival. Of course that is a factor too. But that also happens in the West. Trump and Musk do that too, conflating their personal power with what's best for society. There is a deep intelligence to authoritarianism. This needs to be understood before you mindlessly criticize it. You have to understand why it exists.
  20. Ironically Tom also doesn't really get it. So yeah, there's many levels of getting it. So don't assume it's all the same understanding just because some similar langauge or concepts are used.
  21. Very hard. Because how are you going to find these people and get them all in one space? Your target audience would be like finding needles in a haystack. Building such a community requires that you publish work that draws such people in. People will not come to an empty space, but they could come for you if you have something valuable to offer them. That's how this forum can exist. It could not exist if I just created an empty forum and asked people to come talk about personal development. You have to publish serious work to get people to come to you. Like by writing a brilliant book or creating a unique course or seminar. You need content. Content draws people in. An empty space does not work on its own. You can open an empty nightclub but no one will come without popluar music and lots of promption and marketing work.
  22. It's hard for me to say what I am since I am too close to the matter to see it objectively. In some very specific respects I am very unique. But I'm also quite normal in other respects. I have a unique capacity for understanding things. A unique kind of intelligence. And psychedelics. Other than that, not much else. Genetics? Yeah, my intelligence is grounded in genetics. Is it a worldclass intelligence? Hard to say. Not by conventional measures of raw performance. But there is something unique in my ability to understand things. It's hard to say why that is. As far as mastery of skills goes, I am not a master of anything other than understanding the mind. Because I don't care about anything enough to bother mastering it. But even in the domain of understanding, my ability is very specialized. I am not good at understanding complex technical stuff like math, research papers, or computer code.
