Hey @Leo Gura, you said wait 6 months to get your chess skills up. Well 6 months is up, will you have us a game?

@Leo Gura no probs bro, but just letting you know, I think we're all in the same boat ... ^ yeah, I don't memorise openings or anything. Really I think chess is meant to be played chill like, for fun. Like my father said once, it's one of the only games I enjoy being beat if I get beat really really well.

@D2sage Nice chai seeds, fiber, awesome. @PsychedelicEagle ok so im gathering that I need to pay attention to my fiber intake. Legumes seem good. Legumes and chai seeds... Also I was using the app snapcalorie to monitor my caloric intake. It's good, you photograph your meals and give a brief description and it uses ai to calculate the amount of kcals...seems good so far. I got some canned spinach in salt water and tried to eat it but it looks and tastes like weird baby food. I'll maybe get a taste for it. But legumes and chai seeds... interesting... Ty guys, appreciate all the advice 🫶🏼

Skip to 2:40 lol. This one's a banger...

Honestly I think if Jordan Peterson skipped breakfast that morning, it would've transformed his his entire mind and he would've got instantly enlightened

Jordan Peterson and the atheists in the video engage in a debate with distinct arguments: ________________________________________ Jordan Peterson's Primary Arguments: * Atheists misunderstand God: They reject a simplistic view, not the complex, archetypal, or conscience-based understanding of God. ____________________ * Morality and purpose are not scientific: Science is value-free; religion provides the necessary moral framework for society and human endeavor. ~ --- Here He's sort of trying to highlight some of the limitations of science. ____________________ * Everyone worships something: Worship is defined as prioritizing and sacrificing for something. Even atheists align their lives with a foundational value, which functions as their "God." --- This arguement is focusing on flattening the definition of worship. It's kind of a word game. The definition of a word and the connotative, social implied definition of that same word are very very different. Atheists do not worship that which they value in the way theists worship God. This is a basic ability to recognise the common parlance definition of the word worship and what people actually mean. ____________________ * Atheists adopt Christian morality without acknowledging its roots: Many atheist moral principles stem from Judeo-Christian traditions and their historical impact on free societies. --- And eastern atheists adopt islamic morality. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Atheists' Primary Arguments: * Atheists understand what they reject: Many atheists have studied religion deeply and their rejection is informed, not reductive. They argue Peterson's definition of atheism is also reductive. ____________________ * Morality exists outside religion; science can inform it: Morality is an evolutionary, intrinsic aspect of social animals, preceding religion. They also highlight morally questionable aspects of religious texts. ____________________ * Peterson's "worship" definition is overly broad/semantic: If prioritizing anything is worship, the term loses its common meaning. They accuse him of semantic games rather than direct engagement. ____________________ * Peterson avoids the ontological truth of biblical stories: His metaphorical interpretation of biblical stories as "meta-truths" is ambiguous, especially when religious consequences are tied to specific historical beliefs. ________________________________________ Overall JP is super avoidant and indirect, refusing to directly answer simple questions like "are you ab Christian" (likely because if he explicitly deviates to far from Christianity online he could lose lots of his profitable Christian supporters). It's all a show, to me this isn't really a debate it's publicity.

Also btw @Someone here I don't know about you but I think my 40's to my 60's are going to be the best years of my entire life. I intuit that I'll probably have to wait till then to start seriously pursuing enlightenment...rn I'm only playing games

You've a good heart bro. Remember just, leo is a king pin supplier of wisdom, he doesent have time for every small quarrel and street beef that's why he has mods to be his lieutenants. And ultimately he has already spoon fed us too much already, you have to do some of the leg work yourself and contemplate. To me it sounds like you need to implement a method that I call "smash it". Which is where you essentially come to a point where you recognize that you're not going to make significant progress without seriously altering the structure of your situation. You just have to make some dramatic moves and they have to be Central to your entire Modus operandi. You need a central nervous system overhaul. To me it kind of sounds like psychedelics could be useful to you. While your pussy footing around yourself and making small gains, you're really not going to make progress. You got to smash it up, break it down and crush it into a fine powder so that you can reshape it powerfully (your life).

Just wanted to add a quick note. Anything you intend on combining with 5meo should really be sent away to get a clinical grade chemical ID testing process. Mdma is notoriously impure and if you accidentally buy some fake mdma or fake ketamine or if it's lined with fent or something, risk of serotonin syndrome and death sky rocket. Test yo shit bois

Hahahaha niceee. Actually just be mindful that the younger years can be some of the worst, especially for men. Women star at the top as their value decreased over time and a lot of men typically start very low (unattractive, poor, underdeveloped etc.) and work towards increasing their value over time. In fact, the 20's can be some of the hardest years. You've spent your entire life up until this point having mandatory social atmospheres in school and college. As soon as you leave that and become a proper adult all of the easy mandatory social networking disappears and it's completely on you to fund yourself (a lot of the time) and to manually cultivate the social connections for yourself. You've essentially been in an incubator tank for 20 years and you've now been released. And that incubator tank can be designed quite poorly to prepare you for the real world in a lot of countries. So don't lose heart about the fact you're getting some difficulty now, remember that as a man your value can only really go up. As long as you're doing the right things and making the right moves it can only get better overall. (And it can get really good if you know what you're doing and just keep connecting with powerful and resourceful and wholesome people who can teach you how to go about the right things). Just be careful. If you've ever played elden rain or souls games you know that you need to carefully select which attribute combination you want to scale up in. If you dump all your XP into one and neglect the others your character will have major vulnerabilities. Balance my friend. Everybody is so different so unless you're speaking with a one to one coach we're not going to be able to give you exact advice. This mode actually be a good idea. Even if you get a terrible life coach or someone who is cheap or free (maybe someone who is trying to become a life coach and looking to get free clients) It's better than no life coach. If you have the power and capability, I think psychedelics are really powerful for just completely forcing you to meet reality which can result in a massive existential shift making you more focused. It's kind of like shocking the mind into action or at least recognition. It can be super difficult to get traction in general as a young person I know this. You also have other strategies available to your life just completely moving away from your family and throwing yourself completely into the deep end. But once again this only works for certain people and you must do what you know you can. Generally implementing strategies that are ridiculously Powerful is a good method for kickstarting anything any young person's life particularly a young man. Just be mindful not to do yourself damage or put yourself in danger. Actually scratch that put yourself in a little danger, just don't get yourself klled lol 😅 My methods are just exposure therapy, I just throw myself in and forced myself to swim. You have to learn how you solve problems everybody does a differently slightly. Dedicate yourself to the practice of learning who you are and what you are... And not in a specifically spiritual way I mean in a normal way, because ultimately if all you focus on is ego dissolution then you're going to have a very malnourished life. You have to have a healthy ego that is completely healthy and formed before you can transcend it effectively. Find who you are in the subjective social egoic realm. Also... Don't believe or disbelieve Leo. But particularly, don't believe him.

Hey, this might sound a bit odd, but I’m looking to start a life coaching journey and want to find a solid beginner program to get going. My plan is to start small and gradually work through a few high-quality courses. The issue is, I want to post a detailed question on Reddit asking which programs might suit me best — but I recently deleted my main account and don’t have enough karma on the new one. All I really need is someone with a decent Reddit account to post my question in a few specific subreddits and link me them... Can anyone help with that?

Reply to op: Yeah so it's a bit funny. Psycs reveal reality for what it is absolutely, but this can easily distort the relative domain (I mean that's kinda how it works, but even after you come back from a trip the psychedelic can loosen your mind and make you less socially calibrated). The idea that psychedelics have little to no risk and you can just safely ingest them at any point...is a complete and direct delusion. Anything with that amount of power must be handled with care and extreme strategy and planning.

Careful, young egos will see this and use it as an excuse to smoke weed casually every day/week as self medication. There is no need for a drug that is as slippery as thc (precisely because it's so cheap, soft and functional, it increases it's usability and ultimately it's addictive potential). It can become a torturous problem. Beware

@OBEler I'll let you know my findings

@AION cool post bro. I actually resonate deeply with it. I myself have autism I'm pretty sure but not lots. It was basically not managed well for my entire childhood with Christian parents who just sing to jesus all day as a means to try fix things. I resonate with this all very very deeply. This is me. although I personally experienced a lot of pain and suffering in early life which made me supppa strong and spiritually sensitive. This might sound like bs but my degree of energetic sensitivity notably surpasses reading facial expressions or reading the room. I can actually read things that relate to me without being near them. Like I can just know shit with incredible accuracy. I can feel the energy in my ass cheeks (not even joking) lol. Sometimes it's blurry and not clear but sometimes it's mega clear and super powerful and impossible, you should try do this bro sounds like you can do it. God tells me the future lol. I mean I can't control it or when I hear it or how clearly I hear it, but just little glimpses here and there, really really fucking powerful. Anyway, yeah, Im pretty sure I got hit with a dose of the 'tism prism. Used to make me super weird and just energetically strange lol. But burned through all the karma and now I'm great. The way I know I have it (and maybe the way you might be able to tell if you yourself have it) is when I get stressed. When I get stressed out it feels like my entire mind melds together like play dough and becomes hard to compartmentalise stuff. Feels like an energetic swelling. Kinda feels like sometimes my mind just becomes one thing like a blob of play dough and because it's just a swelling blob of energy it can't do much. But eh, it's rare. Perhaps look at some times when you get really stressed and just analyse your memories to see if there's ever been times where you just can't deal with shit and it swells like an energetic ball of expanding retardation Btw just to directly answer your question in relation to how trustworthy diagnoses are... Honestly psychologists and doctors are human like you and me. Granted their humans with a lot of theoretical research and high standards with methods that are quite effective certainly many times more effective than what they were 100-500 years ago... But they're still human. I haven't personally validated or verified this claim but my suspicions are that different professionals would give different diagnosis depending on who they are what age they are they're experience and where they're from. Not sure if it's real or not but I also seen a video of a person delivering and identical list of symptoms and manifestations to multiple psychologists and medical practitioners and they all gave diagnoses of disorders that were different but all hovering around the same kind of thing. So they are accurate to a degree but I mean even in my own experience they're not that good and it depends where you're from heavily. But I also don't want to appear to try to undermine the validity of medical practitioners and psychologists and the methods that they used to diagnose... Lots of it is very accurate but some of it isn't. Just hold without believer or disbelieving. They can be right and they can be wrong... But they definitely do more good than harm overall

Jesus Christ was kind of an epistemic scoundrel

@krazzer being on the forum is kinda addictive too and can become a problem but yeah it's better than being addicted the doom scrolling on tiktok. (Also I think most people would have a hard time finding someone more epistemically skilled that Mr Gura, he's pretty epistemically skilled).

100% Like better than being a drug addict or a degenerate. Meditation can still give you peace. And you can enjoy beautiful relaxation with monks and stuff.

Let's all be super careful with combos they can exponentially expand in the right or wrong direction. Bonus info about 5meo mdma combo: On the drug interactions chart the ketamine + alcohol combination is a red warning and I have seen people do this. I myself did this combo once or twice before I knew it was dangerous (wasn't pleasant). But if ket+alcohol is red warning and 5meo+mdma is two steps below it in risk level at a yellow caution...I mean, that sounds pretty fuckin safe like. Also considering that those drug interactions chart people are usually quite strict with what they say is safe and what isn't (seeing as they are literally responsible for life and death accuracy).

Phahahahahahahah

@Schizophonia possibly banned?

Have to be careful with this idea. (Referencing one of Leo's historic analogies about how awakening is like finding a needle in a haystack except that the needle, in this instance, is literally the realization that there is no needle): Giving up looking for the needle is not the same as finding the no-needle.

@Rezo gelenidze @Rezo gelenidze Just remember guys, financial success is only one very tiny form of success there are many many other types and forms of success. You could be successful with your relationship with a person or perhaps you could have success in being a good person morally, you could be successful at talking to a girl regardless of whether it leads to a date or you could be successful at meditating a few times. So just be gentle with yourselves, because ultimately it's very rare and highly unlikely that you guys have not been successful in some respect. If you have a flavor for Leo's content that points to a deep form of psychological evolution which is extremely rare and is a sign of major mental success already. Truth be told, every day you wake up and make it to bed after is successful. You have successfully existed. It can actually be quite difficult to be so powerful that all you need to do to succeed is exist....to just "be." Think about why God calls himself "I am." If you can get to the point where you realize that all you have to do to succeed is exist, you can recognize that this is basically all god does. God's only real purpose is to exist and love itself... Literally. My short answer is that failure doesn't actually exist. But like don't do suicide, like you could enjoy life. Just be patient with yourself ❤️ if it feels right you could continue coming back to the forum here and pursue spirituality more deeply. I find this to be one of the most powerful soothing agents for psychologic pain. There are also a lot of nice people here who could be your friends myself included
