Does science rob us of the wonder in the world or does it add to it? I feel like there are certain, novel,paranormal things that science does try to explain away and make rational. But in other ways, such as the mysteries of the universe or in stuff like chemistry, I fee like science only adds to the wonder.

@thisintegrated Spot on

@Username I think you're spot on. INTJ fits him perfectly.

@thisintegrated 100% agreed

Thanks for sharing. This looks like a trip.

@How to be wise Do you genuinely think ALL shows are a waste of time?

I respect Leo a lot for adding these new subforums. I know a lot of people think all art is a waste of time or something but I have personally learned deeper lessons in some songs, shows and films than I have in any self help book. and having an entire philosophy section should bring about some great discussions! I'm very excited for the future of this forum.

Throwing papers planes with friends. It's something fun I did after school every day that helped me develop creativity. We'd constantly try and make better and better planes. And watching them fly up to the sky was a rush that gives me chills even typing this.

Because Leo has never had a NDE (to my knowledge).

I wish I knew. Shame and guilt consume me every day. They won't be satisfied until I am nothing but a robot, incapable of joy, but I refuse to let them win.

Stories. Whether in books, movies, shows, plays or even the ones we tell around the campfire. Stories are life.

It's possible to excel in one area of life and lack in the others. Why else do you think famous artists struggled their entire lives, with their work only making money after they died?

Put the time in to discover things that excite you and make you happy, and keep doing them. If you don't put in the time, you won't discover those special moments. They don't always come to you. Sometimes, you must come to them. But at the same time (and this is the most important part), you must also be content with the fact that they may never come. Search, knowing they may never come again. And you'll be okay with that.

How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here

Your answer can be found in Conversations With God. You may not understand it (I still don't), but my heart tells me that is it.

Change your perspective. Come to this place for meaningful discussion and you'll get more out of it. And it's often disagreement that breeds the most interesting discussion. Agreement can too, but I think a little friendly debate would do you well.

@Yarco Yeah but fact is, Leo isn't communicating with his audience about any of it. The new upload schedule, progress of the course, etc. It's not an unreasonable question.

Can you share your art?

@Consept Yep, put yourself in the other person's shoes. I'm amazed how often when I reverse the roles how so many of the things I do would be repulsive to see someone else do. That's when I know I've messed up.

@Razard86 It's a good challenge sure, but I'd only do it in moderation. You have to be careful what you put your time and energy into. Pick your battles, or you'll waste your time.

The only thing that truly makes you toxic is if a) you don't learn from your mistakes and b) you deliberately repeat them. Learn from your mistakes. Don't repeat them. Don't be petty. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Good luck

Just my personal experience here, the people who call you "toxic" or "narcissistic" are ironically the biggest "toxic people" and "narcissists" there are! You're just not going to be compatible with everyone, but people like to call you toxic when you're just wrong for each other. There are people out there that will bring the worst out of you, and it's not your fault or their fault. It is what it is. Spend time with the people that make you feel good and bring the best out of you, and avoid the people that don't.

It's arbitrary. Do you weep at night for the animals killed for your dinner? (I ask this as a meat eater myself)
