I actually like reading plots of movies that I don't want to actually watch. It'd be fun to see lions and rabbits wake up and play with each other. I understand that it's hard because I've only become conscious that I'm God in a sense. I still don't feel that what's outside of my human body is God. Sometimes, my hands melt into the environment. Sometimes, they don't. Embodying Godhood is difficult. -
I like your cat more than it clarifies.

That sounds like evolution.

Money is not a bottle neck for most people. Most people can definitely pay for personal development. Most people cause a lot of misery in their own lives. They are the cause of their misery. They might need more tough love. Sometimes, I say harsh things to my sister to snap her out of bad habits that are killing her. Love is not always nice. Some people are even going to stab you in the stomach when you hug them. Be careful with who you hug. For example, a crocodile doesn't care whether you love it. It's going to chew your limbs anyway. A mule doesn't care whether you love it. It's going to spit in your face if you bother it with love.

What if sellers just reflect high tax on the price? They could include tax in the price. High tax by itself is not panacea. The way you tax things matters. Slowing down the rate of real estate deals is better than just raising tax. I also think that increasing remote investment and remote jobs can cut down the price of over-priced real estate in prime land. Prime lands are expensive because they offer local opportunities. What if those local opportunities were turned into remote opportunities available on the internet? Why can venture capitalists in silicon valley not review remote applicants instead of local applicants? Why do people need to fly to silicon valley and live there for months to get some investments? This drives up real-state prices. Why can google not hire more remote workers? Because google hires mostly local workers, google campuses drive up real-estate prices. I think it boils down to industry-era surveillance mindset. People haven't adapted to information era which doesn't require constant surveillance of people in close range. Because managers trust knowledge workers as much as they trust factory workers, they have to keep the workers nearby. This drives up real-estate prices. If they trusted knowledge workers to work remotely, real-estate prices will go down.

There's such a thing as bell curve which makes it difficult to say women from some race are the hottest. Most women, regardless of race, are not hot. The same goes for men. Also, forget about wife material. I think it's a unicorn. Every relationship is a gamble unless people wake up to oneness and help each other. You are trying to carve out exceptions. The rule of thumb is that people are assholes who are either ugly inside or outside. People who are beautiful inside out are rare. Let go of the possibility of meeting beautiful people.

If we all own slaves, are we slave owners and also slaves? Do I rent a slave by visiting McDonald's to order a hamburger? Am I also a slave renter?

White supremacists are hurting their potential children's genetic future. If you love your children, they deserve better genes.

Eliminate distractions if you want your discipline to be effective. Eliminate distractions by choosing minimal solutions to most important problems and by not trying to solve unimportant problems.

It's been a long time since I had a chance to meet with what I love. Today, I stumbled onto what I love by chance. I was tearing in joy. It was like meeting a lost lover again after a long time. Love is the greatest motivation of my life. Curiosity and interest come close. I'm going to design my life around it and minimize the time I spend on things that I don't love much.

Early life events are important. If you spent your childhood on personal development, you would get compounded interests over your life time. If you start personal development late, it might be too late for you to reverse addictions and become a super elite.

I don't understand your inductive mathematical logic.

That was my mistake, too. Very egoic and very impractical.

For any given problem, choose the simplest solution possible even if it is not a very future-proof solution. I made a series of mistake of choosing fun solutions that are very complex and end up eating months of my full-time efforts. I wasted years in the past. When you implement a simple solution and realize you made a mistake, you only wasted a little time. When you implement a complex solution and realize you made a mistake, you wasted months. Mistakes should be cheap so that you can afford to make mistakes and learn from them. Don't choose complex solutions when simple solutions are available. Don't choose fun solutions when simple solutions are available. Don't waste your time on fun solutions to non-problems or unimportant problems. Don't solve unimportant problems or non-problems or possibly important problems that may or may not arise in the future. Solve the most important problems by choosing simplest solutions. Often, the simplest solution is to just reuse existing components rather than invent a new component. Any solution becomes a legacy that you may want to replace with a new solution in the future. The simpler it is, the cheaper and faster it becomes to replace it with another.

Villagers vilify a leopard and enjoy killing it with sticks. They were like cavemen. Imagine that a human substituted for the leopard.
-
To them, It's a proof of bravery and manliness. It's a trophy. They killed a difficult enemy. They want recognition for bravery. They might even have thought of turning the body of a leopard into a stuffed specimen and selling it to a rich man or giving it to a man of power as a present. Their toxic masculinity was mortally toxic to the leopard.

A fight club would be more interesting to teens.

Not giving in to the temptation to play game or watch youtube videos is quite a challenge while I wait for my computer to finish a task that takes 10~15 minutes.

Since I decided to always test my discipline to its limit, I discovered that I only utilized 20~30% of the limit. I often encounter strong emotions and strong urges. Yesterday, I faced a strong urge to play an old game. Today, I faced a strong urge to waste my time and money on going out and buying an ice cream. I withstood the urge, and I made a cup of healthy banana smoothie for lunch instead of buying an ice cream. I would have been defeated twice if I was not determined to push through strong urges. Urges were swirling inside me. In order to maintain discipline, I have to accept the fact that I will have to face strong urges everyday. I have to be mentally strong enough to keep it up for decades and beyond. Are you willing to face your strong urges everyday and every hour for decades? Perhaps, you should be willing to do it for ever.

You and your friends grew apart.

I like having an ample amount of time each day for developing mastery so that I don't feel rushed to do things in hurry. To make a lot of time for developing mastery and still have some time left for exercise, meditation, and rest, I need to cut down distractions. If I yielded to little distractions, I would have a third or a fourth as much time for those things. Popular old games are huge time sinks since they come with a lot of modding possibilities. Going out for just an ice cream costs at least 30 minutes which I could use to exercise and still have some time left for rest. Each distraction costs between 30 minutes and hours. I cannot afford them. In other words, I make enough time for important things by cutting down distractions.

I don't intend to indulge in it. I realize that I don't want to compete on who is right or wrong. By the way, I can love your well-trimmed beard and mustache.
