True... quite paradoxical... Someone will always get left behind despite good marketing, its a gamble. My post was more intended as a guideline, success is never guaranteed, you might die tommorrow.

Relatively speaking thats true, if you listen to death metal and buy all the records of your favourite artist thats because you value your image as a death metal fan and because you love the way the music makes you feel. Is it high consciousness value? Personally I wouldnt say so... But you cant say it doesnt sell. @Thought Art Arcade Fire is one of the most "value for your money" bands I have ever seen haha. Their live show was the best one I have ever been to. Really thoughtful and authentic band.

Well, the question may seem stupid if youre not a musician but when youre the one who is going to provide that value it is very important. Can you answer me why emotion from music is important to you? Do you actually know that? What is it about it that is soooo important? Its just sound right...?! How can sound create feeling??!! Isnt that weird?? Btw, Im sure if you contemplated "Why is shelter important?" You would find some pretty damn cool insights.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

I know! There are so many weird samples in that album, The Devil Is In The Details sounds like some satanic affirmation brainwashing haha! Yeah MHTRTC is my favourite too. Dont forget to check out their EPs too, A Beautiful Place Out In The Country and also Hi Scores is great! Ive never listened to Tycho... maybe I will give him a shot! Me too! Definitely something spiritual about their music, it opens up a portal to nature, for sure, its like musical animism.

Boards Of Canada is my favourite duo of all time. ❤️ Highly influential. They just make me appreciate the beauty and mystery of nature, I dont know how they do it, their music has such infinite depth, you feel like you go back to some primordial blissful childhood state haha. Except for Geogaddi, that shit is eerie as hell.

Exactly! Thats why I love Ikigai, which you mentioned in your course, although you didnt use that term. What you love - What youre good at - What you can be paid for - What the world needs If you can combine all of those youre set. Ome without the other will always make you feel like youre lacking something, you can be good at computers and get paid for it but be miserable, you can be great at music but noones paying you for it which means youre not surviving well. @Matt Skinner Thats a great video!

Not my cup of tea. But I can see the value/niche and why its a good market for spirituality.

Tuvan throat singing? Chanting?

What music is that? Thats where Ikigai comes in... Ive listened to every genre of music like ever... over 10 years, and electronic is what I love. If I try to do something "new" just to "suceed" but my heart is not in it that will show and I will get bored quick. I dont think I have to reinvent the wheel or anything, just do something that stands out, silly example: Polka/Drum n Bass with Bulgarian Choir influences, you get the point. Good point, recently I have realized how important tools are for music, if you limit yourself you find new avenues, for example, in the 80s poor folks couldnt afford instruments so they use vinyl records and looped them with cheap drum machines... Tada... Hip-Hop!

Yes, of course, theres alot of possibility of mixing music with other avenues nowadays. Personally I use the Life Purpose to help me figure out my niche in music, Im not really into mixing it with other things, but of course the possibilities are endless. For example VR/AR music videos will be amazing when they get popular.

Leo doing self-inquiry while on psychedelics.

Okay... Ill try.

Everyday im always a little worried that I will get sick with cold, flu or some stomach ache , Im also obsessing over my heartrate, which Ive done for a few years... How can I stop being worried about my health? Im not an unhealthy person. I was severly sick alot as a baby so maybe its subconscious trauma. What do you think?

Thanks. Definitely will.

Yeah... something like that... I have already been to therapy for social anxiety... cant afford to go again...

I think hes a litte Red too.

Yep, and highly tied in with toxic masculinity, "meat is for men!" "vegans are pussies!". That sort of mentality. I remember when I was around 18 in high school/college, there was these sort of "friends" I had who were addicted to the gym and every time we had school lunch they would compete with eachother about who could eat the most, to puff up their masculinity, hahaha! They were dead serious too, not even tounge in cheek!

You would think food would be the last thing to be ideological about but its actually quite the opposite.

wilber the thicc guru, all the girls at the ashram go yum yum

Heads up, Breitbart is a highly biased Alt-Right news source.

That models arent the territory. Life is experience. ...But systems thinking is so advanced for most folks that it would be unneccessary to critique it, its kind of like abandoning your ship in the middle of the river. You probably wont exhaust systems thinking in this life time. Another problem is language in general, ineffability, some things just cant be explained to others.

Its good that the Orange debunking community (Dont know what to call it) has its eggs in the right basket. The Alt-Right community has had way too much breathing room the past few years. It needs pushback.

Rationalwiki is good for Orange skeptic debunking kind of stuff, not so good for Green/Yellow and higher. Its a tool, like anything else.
