I’m just wondering where all the epistemic standard police are. When it comes to aliens, it seems as though it’s not as important to be as careful as every other topic. The problem is that over time, speculation, especially when unfalsifiable, easily turns into perceived truth or likely true. And an even bigger problem is to turn that activity into a hobby where one actively forms and stacks new unfalsifiable speculations on top of all others, forming a giant fantasy. If one can easily separate speculation from truth without assigning truth probabilities, then that’s fine, but when you speak as if you know the biology of aliens, it’s time to knock down your entire stack and realize you don’t know shit. In the case of a Q’anon adherent, we can easily debunk their so-called truths derived from unverified speculation because they’re usually falsifiable. Not very much is falsifiable when it comes to aliens, which means the wise move is to make very few claims. I just thought I’d bring up what appears to be an epistemic double standard. Fun speculation with high truth probabilities for me but not for thee (Q,Anon).

If caring diminishes your life energy, then maybe the way you’re caring is counter-productive. Maybe detach emotion from concern. Time to let that part of you die. Mature.

It just all seems to easily fall apart. “Space ship” is a ship traveling through space. Is it more likely the purpose of an alien spaceship is to travel small distances or large distances through space? What happened? There were just little worker aliens transporting cargo from their 3rd planet to their 5th and got caught up in an interdimensional portal that just happened to open up here? And once they were in our solar system, how far did they have to travel before they crashed on earth? Do most theories you look into involve an alien ship or just an alien body that showed up? Any theory that involves a ship and or travel/transport from one physical location to ours is highly improbable, and as far as I can see, those are the only means to get from A to B. I’m open to wormholes and maybe even advanced life forms being able to teleport or alter space/time, but to get from A to B requires a mechanism. To speculate what that mechanism is beyond anything we’ve ever scientifically confirmed or theorized is, as Leo likes to say “Fantasy”. If I were to consider it plausible that an advanced being can alter space/time of physical reality, I would be engaging in fantasy (which can be fun) because there’s not even a hint of evidence to support this. If new evidence comes out, I won’t reject it, but currently it is in the same ballpark as believing in ghosts, but actually even more outlandish. @Salvijus don’t worry, I won’t steal your sunshine. I hope alien rumination brings you much entertainment and joy.

If aliens could make it here, wouldn’t it be highly likely they would have absolutely mastered the physical domain? Such that they wouldn’t crash land on our planet? Such an alien civilization with the tech to travel through worm holes and harness energy from stars would likely have been in existence for hundreds of millions of years. Maybe for them, flying by our planet would be like us walking by an ant and earth would be just another habitable planet out of a billion others that they could easily warp drive to. Also, if a civilization survives as long as required to master the physical domain, it’s more likely than not that they have transcended war and are peaceful. This idea that haphazard aliens are incompetently crashing on our planet and aliens are gonna come after us seems absurd af.

Never got deep into SD so not sure if taking an interest in one’s health is a green thing or not but if it is, seems absurd. See what had happened was, trust was eroded via unchecked capitalism. Then, disease started catching up. Media about red food dye, lack of vitamin d, the corrupt food and pharma industry, etc., eventually made it on the screens of the blues searching for why they or their family members are sick and how they can solve their problems. Then they have a revelation that intelligent people have in their teens: “ what you put into your body can make you unhealthy”. Most of them end up following some grifter health charlatan who tells them things like drinking apple cider vinegar 3x daily with olive oil and turmeric and black pepper will cure them completely so long as they avoid red food dye and gluten. So now, they’re running around going to “holistic” chiropractors getting their white-labeled vitamin d + proprietary herbal blend of the top superfoods, fighting cancer one pill at a time and scanning all their groceries with an app looking for red food dye. This is a growing trend, but I’m not optimistic it’s a sign of increased consciousness. I mean, I guess they’re more health-conscious, so that’s a good thing.

Solitude is freedom, which is one of my highest values. I feel like I need maybe 85-95% solitude to be happy. It all depends on my energy though.

Brilliant! -
Okay JP. 😂

So when you go on a date, you actually are considerate, but when you’re doing pickup, you dispense with their consideration because it just gets in the way? Pickup cannot escape the integrity problem.

Yeah, that’s a no-brainer.

You guys put so much effort into opening, DHV, etc. Maybe if you put the same effort into learning how to go beyond superficial connection, you might not have to worry if she’ll change her mind about sleeping with you during a 30-min car ride. You realize you could use those 30 minutes to make her want you even more, right? It’s sounds like what is being said is: “Move in quick and hypnotize them. Get them while they’re drunk and out of their wits. If you allow them to think about it too much, they’ll change their mind and deny me what I want. While I value carefully weighing and considering important decisions, their considering whether it’s a good idea to sleep with me is bad for me, so I gotta fuck them before they even know what happened.” Imagine if a car salesman was operating like this? You’d say that salesman lacks integrity. Also, this whole idea of guys choosing their physical location based primarily on pussy logistics is some whacky shit. Young men, if you’re reading this, this is not healthy behavior. It’s scarcity mindset, desperation, and try-hard. Commit too much to such absurdity and risk permanent self-esteem issues.

You should build rapport first with simple conversation. “ Yeah, I’m glad we met too! it’s going alright I guess. How is your week going?”

Lol. I suspect he’s trying to philosophize his way to “Trump not bad”.

It was meant to be a joke (they stated multiple times it wasn't their position). I should have added a playful emoji.

Yes, it’s a very powerful question. I remember when it first came to me, it was like discovering gold. I started asking everyone in my inner circle the question, thinking I could get them to see the beauty and utility of it. Lol.

Joshe replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I think you have a good point @Carl-Richard. And I’d wager money no one can provide sufficient reasoning to justify their disbelief. Given that reality is itself magical, and given the prevalence of anecdotes regarding such phenomena, as well as testimony from integrous spiritualists, as well as experiencing very suspicious phenomena myself, I’d be a fool to close myself off to such possibilities. There’s a lot of putting stage green, new-agers, and woo-woo hippies down. When one gains momentum in this activity, for example, by embarking on a study to explore the delusions of new agers, it makes them more likely to presuppose all that flows from new-agers is non-sense. So if they haven’t been able to verify it themselves, they hastily cast it into the delusional bin. And we get sloppy groupthink from the top-down. -
Coming from someone who has blackpilled himself since childhood, eventually, you see all the black there is to see. If I understand the term correctly, black pill is just cold, hard truth. There’s only so many truths like that to be discovered. And they they usually fit neatly into categories: human relations, corruption, ego, power, survival, etc. Once you see the main black pills from each category and accept them, learning about infinite examples of black pills within the categories is a waste of time IMO, but I understand the appeal to engage with the darkness.

I remember stumbling across this question when I was about 25 or so. If you woke up tomorrow and never had to consider money again, how would you spend your time? This question can lead to an existential crisis as well because many people would realize they don't even know what they would do, and when trying to figure it out, we come up with answers that we think are good, but when we actually think about it deeper, it often doesn't seem that great. It is good for seeing "where ever you go, there you are". I think what I would do is find some sort of huge project to work on that involves raising the baseline level of consciousness of humanity. And I'd probably take 2-week vacations every quarter. Also would get deep into maximizing self-development. Maybe build a revolutionary self-development platform utilizing AI.

Your entire position is flawed.

Looking at your signature, I see you value truth. Which means you don’t like falsehood. When we judge character, one of the main things we look for is integrity. Integrity is built upon truth. In other words, the degree to which one of your highest stated values is trampled upon can be a good gauge for how good or bad a character is. So how much one lies and deceives is the first thing you could look at. The second thing you could look at is the degree to which one is self-serving at the expense of others. People who score high here are referred to as “pieces of shit”. These two metrics are currently sufficient for assessing the character of leaders as better or worse. Take all the presidents and stack them up objectively to see who is most deceptive and the degree to which they are willing to serve themselves at the expense of others, and if you’re honest, you’ll see Trump is in a league of his own. No one else even comes close. This is just objectively true. These are the main metrics we use to assess the character of leaders as good or bad. 35000 lies is objectively worse than 10. And actually caring about whether you cause harm to people is objectively better than not caring what harm you cause them at all. Malignant narcissism is objectively worse than typical narcissism, by orders of magnitude. Trump fleeced his supporters out of 250 millions dollars worth of donations, claiming he would use the money to help save America. He fleeces them all the time. No other politician that I’m aware of has ever done such depraved shit on such a large scale in our history. And this is just one of dozens, if not hundreds of depraved things Trump has done that hardly no other politician even comes close to. -

To believe this, you have to be mired in bias or lack the ability to read people. You likely want Trump to not be as bad as he actually is because previous positions you’ve held. Which is bias. If you think Trump is near equal in character to most other presidents, you gotta get this fixed bro. It’s a matter of looking at things objectively. -
9 times out of 10 when a girl starts talking about breaking up, if you have done nothing wrong, it’s because she either has another prospect or isn’t happy with you. More often than not, they want to follow up with another prospect, if they haven’t already, which is also very common. Also, if they starfish you during sex, where they just lay there and aren’t into it, that’s another sign she wants out. When a girl in a long-term relationship has another prospect and wants to know what it’s about, they start shit out of the blue and are agitated and anxious more often. They feel guilty about it because they don’t want to hurt you. Then, they start wallowing in depression from feeling like they’re trapped with you. When they realize you aren’t their Disney fairytale and there’s no more novelty, no more excitement, and when the relationship becomes normal or mundane, they start to question why they’re with you. Most girls will not tell you if they’re interested in someone else or simply not interested in you anymore. What they do instead is engage in negative emotions and use those emotions as justification to break up with you. And this process usually takes months until one of you can’t deal with it anymore. To keep most girls happy takes a fuck ton of work. You have keep things fresh and exciting or they leave. This is why I opt out. Too much work and not enough reward.

This is the most damning thing I’ve seen yet. It could be that someone powerful is intentionally taking him down. -
Spend your time planning how you’re not going to backslide. Remember all the coal you’ve shoveled and rebuild the vision for what your life would be like for each path. And contemplate what you’re going to do the next big life upset.
