@Salvijus Look at history

Across lifetimes maybe. Within this one, I think it’s less accurate to say this. Most people will die lost in a prison of their own making without any understanding that they are doing it & trying to help doesn’t matter cause they already think they know every thing & the whole world is going to shit, bla-bla-bla(or some other bullshit story). My entire family is like that. I appreciate your perspective. It is more compassionate. Which has it’s own kind of value. Paradoxically, it’s probably easier to help (some) people with your frame of mind even though it’s less accurate.

You are starting to realize that the hamster wheel won’t ever satisfy. It’s a necessary process to go through. Stop doing stuff & embrace the boredom for a few days. You can’t ever make yourself whole by doing. Passion happens when you are already whole & do stuff for the heck of it. Not because it matters. Cause it doesn’t.

You guys are making such a big deal out of this place😂 chill You can leave that’s also chill. The drama is never ending!

I enjoyed it. The bar is so low with podcasts in general that they definitely stick out in a good way. It’s not as great & complete as they claim though. It can’t be, that’s just marketing crap. But it’s good.

That’s assuming they are interested in going on a discovery process in the first place which is highly unlikely. People don’t just scroll TikTok and then spontaneously have non-ordinary consciousness.

How grotesquely narcissistic can he get? Dang

Years of mindfulness & correcting the wrong ways you use your body. Activate weak side. Relax stiff side. It’s good that you are questioning. That’s the first step. Notice “oh I am out of balance, let me find my centre.”. Do that all the time for years. You will loose focus over & over but no on will fix you if as soon as you leave the office, you walk like crap, stand like crap & move like crap.

Some of them are worse than others

You could learn to play music. It’s not easy to do so you need to drive the activity with focus. There’s no dopamine rush in that kind of effort. It’s like an athletic endeavour. It also makes you equals with music instead of you being lacking & using it to fix you. Then you can listen as equals too.

I find that flexibility in where you sleep is beneficial. Sometimes I sleep on the floor, sometimes the couch, sometimes the bed. Learning to sleep on the floor was not immediate at all but it built a lot of resilience & adaptability in how my body can let go of itself & cool down. But I wouldn’t do it all the time. It’s context sensitive just like everything else.

Yes you are right. I am setting the bar too high. I am not entitled to one in the first place.

Do you guys really use the healthcare system in France? It’s also paid for by taxes here but I never use it. I just pay for people that don’t know how to take care of themselves. I don’t have high opinion of healthcare to begin with. Feels more like « Keep alive at all costs whether it’s healthy or not-care » @VioleGrace @Schizophonia

Thanks for saying the same thing but more confusing, very Buddhist of you

Humans = horny chimps

That’s the kind of bread I like.

Those are not wrong. Aside from white bread. You can surely find better bread than this.

I eat Fatty meats & fish like sardines. Most of the time those come in olive oil too. Nuts of all kinds. My favorite has to be either hazelnut or walnut. Butter, olive oil Cheese sometimes. I eat a lot of flax seeds cause I just enjoy the flavour so much. I put them everywhere.

Those foods you mentioned are what I have to eat to meet my caloric needs precisely because I can eat a ton of them. Which isn’t the case with fat & protein. I would not be able to maintain or gain lean weight without the carbs for sure given my metabolism. I am just saying carbs make me want to eat more.

Protein & fats are satiating. Carbs aren’t. They are the exact opposite. You could get into a surplus with fat cause it’s heavier but that’s not gonna be fun. Carbs work more like performance enhancing drugs than food.

@Judy2 Let me guess you’re a woman? @NewKidOnTheBlock Let me guess you’re a man?

The whole wrongness of veganism is in the identification & attachment, not the food. So yeah stop being vegan.

I do buy songs on itunes

The balance & equilibrium between all of those. Brownie points for being conscious while doing them. Adaptability to the actual reality of the situation is superior to regimented work out or diet plans.

Yeah they picked the bottom of the barrel. Some of them almost make sense sometimes. That dreaded philosopher should have gotten more screen time.
