100ug with a tripsitter. If you smoke weed, any intense experiences there will be of aid to help you learn to let go.

Life has not "perfected" itself so to speak. It could always be better. Cells have a limit in how much they can divide. And outside influences also constantly wreck our cells. You must also consider the balance between increasing the chance to live and maximum lifespan. Many animals have high emphasis in maximum lifespan while others maximize more in its changes of survival for the lifespan it has. Humans have done pretty good at both.

Its just a hunch. When you are concerned with your own survival, taxes will either hurt or help you. People will be against when it hurts, and for it when it helps. It does benefit the collective. By distributing the cost of a service among everybody proportional to what you make, it makes the hit as minimal as possible on everybody. Those who can't afford the service get access to it. Those who contribute but don't use it, means it can go to others who need it. Its very clear here how the collective benefits but it can hurt the individual especially when you don't use the service. An individual based approach would mean nobody is paying for somebody else, but that everybody carries their own weight. A collective approach means we carry our weight together. Even if some can't. Yes untaxed production may be cheaper, but it would mean you would lose access to the services the taxes are funding, so those services would lose money, causing their prices to go up. And I don't think this would be a proportional 1:1 ratio.

He has not. Only talked about it on the forums. I consider myself Polyamorous as in I feel capable to love multiple people. I wanted out of my monogamous relationship because I wanted to escape the rules and control. I inquired on this and decided to actually commit wholly to it and I discovered that i was able to accept any kind of relationship. I no longer go to one out of fear or distaste of the other. So I can agree with what Leo says there. It's opened up my perspectives of both and I was able to tackle my dysfunction towards commitment.

By accepting rejection. Exposure therapy can help with this. My friend tried picking up girls at the mall. For a serious relationship. He was so scared and he would come back after being rejected and say "that wasn't as bad as I thought"

This is all really a language game. It depends on what theft really means to you. Those who oppose taxes I feel like are super concerned with the individual more than the collective. Individual vs collective is a careful balance and they often take away from each other when you go one way or the other. Taxes greatly benefit the collective. But to those who lean more individual, something like a pure capitalist anarchy society is probably seen as preferrable, unless you are poor anyway. The ones on the lower end will want collective focus to raise them up and the ones on the higher end will want individual focus to not have to raise them up.

Yes, I caught myself theorizing too much. So I needed to change this. When I say you experience everything and so on, that is correct to me in the sense that is how I translated my experiences of it to best convey it to others. Somebody else might translates it differently and then a conflict over accuracy occurs despite it pointing to the same thing. And the mess gets deeper when you consider the different "levels" of awakening. My understanding is incomplete as all understanding is. SO yeah I don't got this completely figured out. But what I do know is what I have experienced. I thought I could use my understanding to help people who have freaked themselves out a bit over this whole infinity and experiencing everything thing. But I don't think I accomplished that.

Leo's video on morality I believe cover demonization and it's mechanism as a whole.

I discovered my answer to the free will question way before I ever heard it from anybody. Even Leo. I'm not the first one to discover this answer. Which is why other people here and even Leo have answered roughly the same as me. To me it seems like you are still living by the duality of free will vs no free will and have not seen how they both fit into the picture, but that may be miscommunication. But i don't really hold these models themselves as truth. They are just tools and will never truly represent truth. Im talking about free will as a model will not help you. If you've had deeper mystical experience to derive that model from then that experience can help you. And that's where debating it doesn't serve too much use in practical applications.

Even if you do have free will you can do all that. The no free will thing is just an easy escape for people to not take responsibility. Using No free will as an idea or model to not be neurotic seems very neurotic. It doesn't actually tackle the root problems. That aside the answer will always be free will and no free will simultaneously.

Mgtow on paper is about not being dependent on female validation. While it sounds nice on paper as Emerald put it, the community is largely toxic and full of anger towards women.

@outlandish what do you think about 2c-b as a beginners substance?

@Truth Addict Depends on the model or part of it. Some of it is for truths sake, others have more practical applications.

Polyamory out of fear of say not wanting to feel locked down and controlled won't end up well. This has been Leo's main criticisms of it.

Trauma can occur even without being aware with it, even without any memory of the experience. This is why trauma as a baby is not to be disregarded. Trauma is an actual rewiring of the brain. So you have to rewire it to get rid of it. This is why intellectual understanding doesn't work. The brains wiring goes much much deeper. Which is why just saying to let go doesn't work.

You are correct, but I gotta ask, what is your deal with always bringing up politics? lol

What isn't consciousness? ? That's the real question haha

Nothing. It serves just to have a better model for reality.

Not sure that that is orange in of itself. The stage of something is based on intent instead of the action itself.

You'll never get rid of the egoic perspective. But you can add a non egoic perspective.

@Knock Personally I think personal development can provide the self esteem and confidence boost that pickup can. At least that's the case for me lol But I'm not here to say which path is the best. I'd rather someone go through this and transcend it than be stuck.

I agree with this. Which is why I said it is a tool. It helps but you still need to put the actual work in especially to integrate the insights.

Felix definitely has a lot more to him than he shows to the internet.

From a materialist perspective, simulation theory is dead on accurate and hints at the underlying metaphysical stuff.

The internet is a huge source of information. Staying off it when everybody else is on it partially hinges on a fear of missing out I think. That and being used to constant stimulation. A good practice would be trying to embrace boredom more often than see it as a bad thing. Your brain needs to be bored.
