When are you guys gonna build me a throne like that?

That post is even more innocent. That's literally just a biological fact of all living organisms who mate. Mating requires that you visually distinguish who is worthwhile to mate with and who is not. These distinctions are very complex and nuanced, including dozens of visual traits, shapes, colors, sizes, but also smell, taste, sounds, feel, vibe, energy, movement, behavior, etc. You make it sound as if women are not choosy. Women are very choosy. More choosy then men. I wish mating didn't involve a ruthless marketplace of choosiness. But it does. It's not like I am thrilled about that. I got rejected more times than most people will get rejected in 10 lifetimes. Sometimes it hurt like a motherfucker.

But see... a woman doesn't need to attract a decent proportion of guys. She only needs to attract one right guy. This is a common mistake Incels make too: they tend to believe that since they are not attractive to the majority of women, they cannot get laid well. But these two things are disconnected. You don't need to attract a majority of anyone. If you only attract 5% of people, that's enough to be happy.

My comment does not apply to women at all. I was talking about how desperate men will have sex with anything. This is just a fact of life. It says nothing about women. I was also being humorous, and not at the expense of women but at the expense of men.

I don't just mean physical boundaries. I mean wasting your love and emotional labor on incorrigible people. You have no idea how emotionally exhausted and drained you will be after trying to reform violent psychopaths for a few weeks. Your hippie love will quickly dry up and you will get jaded, depressed, and sick. All your hippie notions of love are finite and they will get quickly exhausted by a violent psychopath. It would be like pouring money into Iraq. No matter how many trillions you pour in there, democracy will not come. You will go bankrupt before you fix Iraq. Lolz I teach you these things so that you don't incur the suffering of idiot compassion. That's my love for you: to point out how your ideas, if followed, would ruin you emotionally. But hey, do whatever you want. Go love psychopaths if that's your cup of tea. If you manage to make it work, I will be impressed and stand corrected. But ACTUALLY do it! See, I don't think you're really serious about doing it. You're just talking. Meanwhile the psychopaths are out there and someone's gotta stop them. You could make it your life's work to heal psychopaths. But will you? Do you understand how serious of an undertaking that is? And if you don't feel like taking on that burden, now you understand the problem.

No, I am not an interviewer. And Noam Chomsky says exactly the same thing in every interview. You won't get anything new out of him. All his ideas are already widespread on YT.

Sure it's possible. And in fact common I invested 1000s of hours into philosophy and existential contemplation in my teens and 20s before I realized that that is my LP. And all that early experience was foundational to my current success. So it definitely counted. In fact, I would say it counted extra much because the first 1000 hours are the hardest. It's nice to have it over with.

It is not a course on creativity. But it is perhaps even something better that you don't even know is a thing yet. It's gonna be a totally life-changing course for every self-actualizer, regardless of values, interests, or level of development.

Or, if you access Infinite Consciousness, you can know it. You actually don't need to do a thing to know it can be done. The problem with turning into a kangaroo is, you won't be a human any more, and there will be no one to tell what you did. And even if you told them, they would never believe you nor understand. If I told you I turned into a kangaroo last night, would you believe me? No. You would just rationalize it away by telling yourself that Leo is deluded.

You guys seem to not understand how science works. Scientific knowledge and theories are often provisional, incomplete, uncertain, and wrong. Yet that doesn't stop them from being seriously made and even taught in universities. To say that UFOs are likely aliens is a perfectly scientific theory. This isn't some dogma to be held. It's a theory to be tested.

Actually many UFO sightings are crystal clear to the people who report them. Suboptimal viewing conditions is again a thing you made up. Seeing a commerical jet fly over your house at 30,000 ft is not a suboptimal viewing condition. Nothing has been debunked. Your debunking is bunk itself.

Sure! How about you show us how it's done? Go work in a prison for 30 years loving psychopaths. Let's see how you feel after one of them bites your ears off. Being conscious and loving does not mean I will be foolish enough to waste my finite human love on impossible people. Boundaries. Even after enlightenment.

Frankly it sounds to me like your realization is not very deep, but more intellectual. Which is not a true awakening. Those things are best healed by awakening to Love. But no-self can also help. Depends how deep it is and what flavor it takes. There is not a single no-self realization, there are many kinds and levels to them.

Pure nonsense. Oneness = Wholeness. One is Absolute, which means it includes manyness. The difference between one vs many is imaginary.

@sethman You deeply misunderstood those videos and what was being communicated.

He always has level-headed takes:

Because once you realize there is no difference between anything, then you discover Heaven. You are then literally floating in Heaven because you are 100% conscious that nothing bad can happen. Bad is the illusion that one thing is worse than another. But if there is no difference between anything, bad literally becomes impossible. And what remains is a profound bliss. You literally become immortal and untouchable. That's realizing the Oneness of God. You are assuming a difference between the illusion of difference and it's opposite. That is duality, not Oneness. How can it not? Infinity must have the capacity to make itself finite, otherwise it isn't infinite. There is no higher harmony than the Oneness of which I speak. Indifference is not human indifference, it is ecstasy and Love. Love is just a complete lack of bias. When your bias for the various parts of reality drops to zero, your Love of all its parts rises to Infinity. God is Love because God has zero biases. God Loves all its parts equally much because it has no self to favor any one part. Human love is biased because you are selfish. God's Love is unbiased because God is selfless. Selflessness IS Love!

Sighting are pretty common.The problem is if you will only trust sightings from a Navy commander, then yeah, that's gonna be rare. That's like saying sightings of the moon are rare because the only ones which count are those by astronomers. Just notice that it is your mind which is holding these ridiculous standards.

I've never really eaten soy. Mostly just soy sauce.

Ah.... there's the rub

Prevention is KEY, yes! It costs so much energy to heal deeply dysfunctional people. Cheaper not to break them.

It's a nice idea, but our society is simply not at a stage of development where that is feasible. The problem is resource costs. The resource costs for reforming totally hopeless people is incredibly high. And this includes emotional labor too. Imagine being the poor therapist who has to spend decades of your life trying to reform people who are simply psychopaths and may one day stab you in the eye with a pen. This is not a good use of the therapist's time. She could use that time to help others who are willing to change. So ironically, by trying to redeem the irredeemable you will cause more suffering in the world, not less. At least in today's world. Maybe some day such people can be reformed, but it's not worth it today. We have bigger priorities for those resources. You have to be very careful about compassion directed in utopian way. Utopian compassion increases suffering. Which was the whole problem of Soviet Communist ideology. The ideology was compassionate and equality-oriented on paper, but it created much suffering and inequality in practice. Although of course the prison system needs much reform and modernization. No dispute there.

The biggest losers you never even heard about.

Me: I am morning and night Barges into forum thread. God is Love. Leaves

You can definitely think of God as an Infinite Conscious Fractal. It's a beautiful perspective on God. Although an even more beautiful perspective is a perfectly symmetrical infinite singularity.
