  1. Yeah! Master my blindspots...
  2. You are one ass dude. Sadhguru is selling yoga to soccer moms.
  3. His teachings are designed to be very normie-friendly and mainstream. This requires watering everything down for fools. He says that Kriya yoga is dangerous so he will not give it away casually so people don't hurt themselves.
  4. Don't get your panties twisted. I didn't miss anything.
  5. No. I did a live event too. But the online videos were useless. The live event was legit, though not as good as Kriya yoga. If you like Sadhguru then skip the online course and do a live event. That's my suggestion.
  6. That's super old. This will be much more sophisticated.
  7. It's not an irony. Proper rationality self-reflects and recognizes its own limitations.
  8. 2x speed is just annoyingly fast. It is unpleasant on the ears. 1.5x is the sweet spot.
  9. As a small kid I played. Don't recall a role. Wherever they put me.
  10. Why don't you focus on getting a girlfriend? Go on dates and if you don't feel a chemistry then don't sleep with her. And if you feel a chemistry, sleep with her and make her your girlfriend. What is confusing about this?
  11. Well, could be either, but there's less point in doing it later on once she is already yours. Waiting 4-5 dates or a month is a long time. She could definitely take that as a sign that you are uncertain or don't like her very much. She could even turn to another guy because she is probably horny during that month. 2-3 dates is more than enough. But the best way is to read her mood and receptivity. You should easily tell just from how she reacts to you touching her how open and ready she is for sex. Start groping her and see how far she lets you go. It's as simple as that. You should be groping her from day 1.
  12. You can just be direct with her. 1) Ask her what she wants from you. 2) Tell her what you want, explain your boundaries to her. The problem is you guys are playing this implicit game where nothing is being spoken, which leads to lots of fantastical expectations and secret hopes. If you want to date her, tell her. And if you don't, tell her.
  13. I watch all videos at 1.5x speed. It is better for me. It really depends on how well you already understand reality. If you understand things well then you won't miss anything at 1.5x speed. I understand politics so well that I can watch politics videos at 2x speed and not miss anything important because the content is so shallow.
  14. He probably became one later in life. People can have their downfalls. There are also functional alcoholics.
  15. Desperate people need desperate measures. An addict is not in any position to do serious philosophical work. They just need rescuing from their inner demons. This is good and proper, but it is not the advanced work we do here. This is the difference between therapy and philosophy. There is nothing wrong with therapy but it is not philosophy.
  16. It's bad in the sense that you can invent a fantasy of your identity. Identity is a very tricky, complex issue. There can be many disorders of confused identity. This is nothing exclusive to the trans issue. But the mind easily invents fantasies and identities for itself which may not correspond to any kind of grounded reality. You want to make sure that your identity is not a self-deception. There is a serious concern that trans people have an identity disorder in not accepting themselves as they are -- wanting and needing to be someone else. And then leftist politics and group-think can feed into that fantasy, making you feel like it's not a fantasy when it is. You have to take this issue out of the domain of politics and introspect very seriously into the nature of your identity. What are you?
  17. No. It is a group for dysfunction people who can barely keep their shit together. Such people are clueless about God. They are too psychologically broken to do serious existential work. They are useful in the sense that if you are a dysfunctional addict then these groups can help you reform your ways, so you stop being a total degenerate. And then there is a chance that you can do some serious spiritual work.
  18. Depends on what you mean they were. Real as cities? Sure. Real as in advanced hi-tech that was lost. No. The Grahman Hancock theories are nothing more than fantasies. Zero evidence for it. I have no problem buying that the Pyramids were built through sheer physical labor and simple clever tricks, with no fancy high tech.
  19. Oh yeah, I watched all those. The shows are very gimmicky. It's not for real pickup, it's for reality TV audiences.
  20. I know all your arguments. But... Don't you think Egyptians were clever enough to invent clever ways of doing these things? If that was your whole life you would invent all sorts of clever tricks for it.
