I think I'm transcending it. It's a useful model, though. I just presented a better model for personal development. Responsibility. Industriousness. Hero vs Villain. Etc, etc, ...

It is what it is. If you hate it, it becomes more difficult to escape wage slavery. Love wage slavery, and you will find it easier to escape it. Life is a love simulator. When you love, things become easier. Cultivate your life no matter what happens around you.

I used mild profanity on a forum. A forum moderator says this forum is a framily-friendly forum. He says repeated offence will result in permanant ban. He is not aware that displaying the threat of ostracization with very little tolerance is actually more mentally harmful to children and family than mild profanity like shit and damn. Kids who wanted to say shit and damn may be scared by the moderator and his followers. When an improperly developed Blue person tries to be family-friendly, he or she is not family-friendly. This example shows that Blue people who lack proper personal development may quickly resort to demonization. Green is more hesitant about demonization in general. A properly developed Blue person would be captain america. He takes responsibilities instead of demonizing others. If you are not properly developed at any stage, you should develop lower stages first. Don't say you are Yellow or Green when you are weakly developed. I know that you are weakly developed when I see you quickly resort to demonization and anger and anxiety despite the fact that you said you were Green or Yellow.

@Markus This is what a good mix of apathy and empathy looks like. Actually, empathy is forced upon the man who eats burger. He gains full consciousness of what he did by being pressured into eating what he kills. Also, personal development boils down to "You are prefect, but you can do better". Having empathy doesn't mean you don't remind other people of what they can be.

I was having a fuzzy dream where everything didn't have colors. Suddenly, my dream became very lucid. I never had a lucid dream before in my life. Everything was dark and fuzzy but suddenly became so vivid and real and full of colors. I immediately realized I was in a lucid dream. I found myself in a place that looked like a hospital lobby. As soon as my dream became lucid, I immediately took this chance to grab women's boobs because I knew I wouldn't be able to do it in the physical realm. Weirdly, most women were responding like ego-less bodies with blank minds. One woman didn't like it at first, but opened her mind very quickly. They were NPCs that displayed only programmed responses. It felt very real. I was relishing the sensations on my hand. The lucid dream lasted for only a few minutes, though. I created those human dolls in my lucid dream. After waking up, I thought I had a glimpse into enlightenment. If life is dream, it would be a projection onto a screen. This projection enlightens the screen. I understood the screen on which my life plays. It's like a game. When you wake up from sleep, you can feel that light fills your life. That's a kind of enlightenment.

In this video, a doctor talks about his own personal development. The doctor had contempt for an obese diabetic woman who was about to get a foot amputation due to diabetes. He thought "If you cared even a little bit, you wouldn't have to get an amputation in the first place." Later, he got diabetes and became fat despite the fact that he exercises a lot and eats properly. With a lot of efforts, he cured himself of diabetes. He started thinking that insulin resistance can often cause obesity and diabetes. Now, he feels sorry for her for feeling contempt. Now, he wants forgiveness from her. There's one thing he could have done better. He could have felt empathy and compassion for an obese diabetic woman even if she became fat because she was a lazy bum. He also emphasized the importance of embracing uncertainty. He knew the exact cause of type 2 diabetes, which is eating a lot and exercising little. He was humbled by his own type 2 diabetes. Now, he thinks he can't afford the luxury of scientific certainty. He was humbled for his hubris. Leo Gura also emphasizes the importance of embracing uncertainty. This video taught me what it's like to embrace uncertainty. I also thought I had figured out everything about productivity until I got hit by ego backlashes. I must also embrace uncertainty.

How the fuck do you leave the body? Do you become a ghost and see the universe while floating in it?

@Salvijus Leo Gura said in one of his videos that this physical reality we live in is what exactly "nothing" or "void" looks like. Thus, nothing is everything. Everything is nothing. "Nothing" exists as me and you. There's only existence. You can't cease to exist. Nothing can transform into anything including me and my house. It's the ultimate shape shifter. That's the theory. I haven't experienced any of it directly.

That human looks like a cheap chinese clone of steve jobs.

This is dumb and crazy. He would eat cacti for views.

If you learn to love your regular meals, you may not eat outside as often. Eating outside is more expensive and generally not healthy. If you learn to love your physical infrastructure, it is less likely for you to lose balance of life by being addicted to improving physical infrastructure Building a Raspberry Pi Alarm as a substitute for smartphone alarm might be an overkill. If you love your keyboard, you may not obsess with buying a new fancy keyboard. If you love your car, you may not obsess over buying a new fancy car. Love your wife, and you may not cheat. As you can see, love helps you save money, time, and effort. If you love your petty things, you will focus on important things instead of optimizing petty things. Love may not be a panacea, though.

Did you just consume psychedelics?

I think increasing willpower alone is not sufficient. Willingness to give up parts of your life is also important. This is what I call a mini ego death. I am willing to give up addiction to security.

Audio books are cheap. Experience it directly.

The meta issue is that you are not decisive. Just pick one, and go with it. I don't think writing medium is such a bottleneck in your life that choosing one over another has noticeable impacts in the long run. Premature optimization wastes your time. That said, I recommend transferring paper notes to computer inbox.

Man, why don't you do both? Pen is more convenient sometimes. Keyboard is more convenient other times.

Yes, I was inspired by that. I saw so much shadow-boxing in the thread that I thought it was very wasteful. If you want to do shadowboxing, do it with your body, not your words. Embody shadowboxing.

You have wasted so many years. Do you want to keep wasting the rest of your life that way? Is it how you want to spend the rest of your life? When you are arguing with others, you are actually arguing with yourself. I'm not saying other people are you. When you are arguing with others, you are actually arguing with your perceptions of others and your projections onto others. In other words, you are fighting yourself. It is not others but your perceptions that you need to fight. Once you change your perceptions, arguments and fights will be gone. Once you free up many hours that could have been spent on arguments, you can be a lot more productive and effective and live in peace. You should stop arguing and start pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone. Meditate and visit gyms instead of arguing. You could even do some pick-up if you are not comfortable with women.

I think you can deal with conflicts and confrontations with minimal arguments. You can often just push your way through opposition without saying a word. Don't look for up-front coordination through arguments. Just do it.

I haven't. I will.

Why is leo gone? Is he procrastinating? Or, is he on a solo retreat?

According to materialism, your brain generates your consciousness. Your consciousness is effectively a virtual reality constructed by your brain. Your brain receives sensory input from sensory organs to create a virtual reality. You don't get to see the external world as it is. You only experience the virtual reality created by the brain. Your sleeping dream is also a virtual reality because it is still your consciousness. There is no clear distinction between dream and reality from the perspective of brain. Perhaps, you are not in a physical reality, but in a reality simulation. The brain cannot discern the difference between simulation and reality. It doesn't matter because even if you are in an external world, what you experience is still a virtual reality.

Most people eat meat very unconsciously. If you have direct experience of meat production, you will have crazy awareness of what you are eating. This is what awareness is, folks. Remember this. Direct experience raises awareness to a whole new level. Use this video to learn how to raise awareness. Enjoy your delicious meat with crazy awareness. Awareness is not difficult. It is simple. It is just a matter of whether you are willing to sacrifice the bliss of ignorance. Bon Appétit !!

@Nahm I refer to "you" as a rhetoric device. It doesn't have any profound meaning.

I'd like to try psychedelics, but I will be busy for the next few months. I don't yet have time to research into psychedelics. Why did you mention psychedelics? It's not my expertise.
