  1. White queen at c8 is the killer move that breaks black. Good find.
  2. That don't work. Black will not lose that bishop. The bishop just moves to A8 to be safe.
  3. Can you build yourself a nice well-paid career around spirituality? Of course. But don't confuse that with you seeking truth. You guys pay me because I charge you, but that is not you paying me to find truth, I find truth on my own and then perhaps find ways of selling bits of it. If I wasn't crazy about truth your payments to me wouldn't lead me to it.
  4. @Davino As I said, no one will pay you for seeking truth.
  5. @Davino If only you knew how much money I lost pursuing truth.
  6. Victoria's Secret for sure.
  7. No, you pay me for survival.
  8. @Girzo I spend hundreds of hours each year just removing redundancy from my videos. But it is never enough for the impatient and lazy.
  9. It is wholeness, but you are not saying the same thing. It is easy to understand the notion of wholeness. But Christians do not understand what Infinity is. Wholeness doesn't equate to a halo.
  10. @Natasha Tori Maru Sorry to disappoint a fan. But I can't just release a video for the sake of releasing a video. It has to be worthwhile topic.
  11. The mind/self needs some way to explain why it exists and how it should survive. Rather than doing the work to discover that through truth-seeking, the mind/self just adopts beliefs that are useful for its survival. Once that is done, the mind/self is in a constant adversarial relationship to Truth, because no ideology is true and dropping the ideology is too threatening to the self's survival. Philosophy is the mind/self's grasping at making sense of itself, but constantly failing because the mind/self's true nature is God, which is incomprehensible to a finite mind/self.
  12. @UnbornTao I'm sure it's a good game. The issue is whether the prospect of playing it excites me. To me the feeling is missing. I have the same problem with Avatar 3. I just don't feel excited to watch it because it seems too predictable and known, regardless of how technically excellent it is. Games and films need to bring something exciting to the table. To me, riding a horse and shooting cowboys isn't exciting. But hey, that's just a matter of taste.
  13. I just don't see much connection between these different things. Seems like you are trying to shoehorn them together. How is pyrrhonism related to herding cattle?
  14. Usually when we say "direct experience" we exclude the conceptual domain. Math is in the conceptual domain. But of course you do directly experience the conceptual domain and you do directly experience mathematical truths, which is why you are able to do math at all. The problem is that you also directly experience conceptual falsehoods too. You can do your logic wrong and think you are right.
  15. When you are sick you can not do it. You will still get benefits. But if you are not sick you should do it every day. It is an issue of priorities. You have the wrong priorities in life.
  16. I'm not sure how to answer that. That's a strange juxtaposition.
  17. It may for some, but it won't work for most. Modern life is too busy for that to work.
  18. For meditation you are better off doing retreats than daily practice. Meditation is too weak.
  19. It permanently quiets the monkey mind. But very subtly, very slowly. It raise baseline consciousness, but very subtly, very slowly.
  20. That is tough. You have to somehow convince yourself it is the most important thing in the world. What will convince you of that, I don't know. A major Awakening to God would help. Via a psychedelic. That's what convinces me the most.
  21. Death has never been demonstrated. Scientists do believe in death. Improperly defining death is half the problem. You have zero scientific evidence that Charlie Kirk is not alive in heaven with God.
