@something_else No i don't subscribe to these ideologies. Men are not better either. They perpetuate the worst kind of sexual violence and almost have a monopoly on rape, sexual coercion and etc. Am i bitter? Yes but in general. I find that we are all a bunch of stupid egotistical narcissistic apes who can't control ourselves very much and maybe the world would be better without us. I wouldn't mind if all humanity was erased tomorrow from this planet. Wouldn't bother me one bit.

@Leo Gura Yes this can be a useful heuristic but at the same time it is highly 'unfair' for the 99% of people who are not a somebody and never will be. Most high value people, had high value parents. Also most celebrities are incredible lucky. In most cases power has more to do with matter of circumstance rather any anything else. There are people very wise and educated who are poor. And there are people with incredible status that are a bunch of dark triad narcissistic psychopaths or just born into the right circumstances. I can become a serial kiiller today. And then when i go to prison, i can have beautiful women sending me mails and wanting to marry me. This is just an insane hack . Check Richard Ramirez, Ted Bundy. They all married in prison lol. These are some of the worst human beings on planet earth. The real fundamental reason why men pursue power and status its because thats what women want. But this creates a problem for women too. Their high value partners rarely don't cheat or don't abuse them in some way or another. My point is that if you want to survive as a woman you can sleep with someone like Genghis Khan and thats what you'll probably do. But maybe if you decided to sleep with someone like Jesus Christ, then the world would be a much better place. It would probably lower the massive inequality of resources too.

@Ulax i love this grandpa I find him not too extreme in his positions and quite stable as a person. His wife is a psychotherapist and has helped him a lot. He seems like a man with great mental health unlike most other academics. He has said 'there is not any one person to blame. Its the system'' Which i like a lot.

@something_else Yeah sure, such arguement could be made.. Its very relative what is repugnant or not. For most men it is repugnant if a woman cares too much about status. They find it superficial. But same could be told about physical appearance too..

@hoodrow trillson This smells like some evolutionary psychology. Read David Buss. I criticized men too. Men like young fertile women even if themselves are very old, and they want to have sex with multiple women. This is disturbing too. The desire for sexual variety is a big source of conflict. And women like status and resources or properties that lead to resources. There are many other variables in the equation too. Not just that. But this is a big one for sure. And i know from experience too. Why do you think men chase power??Because thats what women want. Why do women care about beauty? Because thats what men want.

@something_else I don't understand what you are tying to convey ... No. Reality its not very predictable at all. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. The future is unknowable. There are infinite variables that are constantly changing. Nobody knows about the future of economy in USA or any other country. Nobody knows about the future of this planet. You know some basic everyday survival stuff. If i drop the ball, it will fall down etc. But you don't know if you will have cancer 10 years from . Not even the best scientist could tell you that. God is evolution . Evolution is infinite intelligence. What you are suggesting is getting lost in concepts and stories instead. Why these rules even exist? Nobody is denying rules and logic here. This doesn't mean anything. Saying that reality is very mechanical doesn't say very much either. I can say that Reality is very magical and it would mean the same thing from my POV.

@Carl-Richard Infinite Intelligence. Not random.

@DocWatts I did not claim that evolution is full of crap nor that the theory is wrong. I only criticized its metaphysics. Its implicit metaphysics is full of crap.

@Carl-Richard I could say the same . The post is not denying evolution. It criticizes its metaphysics.

I am not denying that a giraffe can evolve its neck from small to large. The fact that you even have a neck that can evolve to begin with , is just incredible and can't be ultimately explained. The fact that you even have all the building blocks that make up reality is incredible and unexplainable. The notion that somehow accidentaly by some blind stupid luck you can end up with a turtle that has shell or lion with incredible teeths is just silly. This is how far the logical mind can go when it wants to preserve its materialistic notions and reject God's Intelligence Why you have a big neck? Well because it is good for survival. Why you have such beautiful feathers? Well because it is good for mating. But What made it that reality can even do something like that so incredible and evolve into all of this?? What is the underlying force that even allows such magic to happen? This is never explained, not can it be explained. Its just pushed further back. The mystery and majesty of reality is not acknowledged.

@JoeVolcano Yes true. Scientists are not very scientific really. The other day i was listening to a podcast and two scientists were talking about death and how life is a space between 2 eternities (lol) This is just a story in their head . Yet most of them hold it as true and certain. Its funny.

Today i went outside and was looking to buy L-Tryptophan (a supplement for increasing serotonin). Initially i went to 3 pharmacies and asked for it but they didn't have it. Frankly most of them didn't even know anything about it (lol). Then i went to a 4th pharmacy. There was a middle aged lady who seemed like snob to me. Her whole vibe was not looking good at all. The 1st sign of disrespect was that, as i entered the store, she didn't pay me any attention and kept on chatting with a friend/associate of hers. That was probably the 1st sign/clue that i should get the fk out of there. So after she finally decided to pay me attention (i had to wait a lil bit), then i asked her the supplement i wanted. She replied coldly ''i haven't even heard of that''. Immediately i felt bad. It's not what she said, but how she said it with her disrespecting look on her face... Then i asked one last question. Again she replied with the same cold disrespectful, heartless manner. Afterwards, when i was out of the store, my mind was entertaining thoughts of re entering the store and insulting her or something. But my prefrontal cortex put a break to such plans. I know better and most of the time i handle myself well. I felt intense deep suffering but i tried to remain as conscious as possible. Still though, i can totally understand people who end up killing others. The way that you get treated in this society is many times very awful. And if you have grew up without much love, and this pattern of lovelessness keep repeating itself into adulthood, then many people reach a breaking point, and they want revenge. They want to get even. Wanting to kill people is a natural thing. Your animal brain basically is like ''Kill people, because they are the source of your misery''. This kind of instinct has helped us survive. It is a built in function. Aggression is bult in our biology. Sure it is not the most sophistacted method for dealing with problems and i am not a fan of it. But i think there is a breaking point for all of us if conditions get too extreme. I haven't seriously contemplated killing people yet. Sometimes the desire may arise. I believe this is normal. Especialy when i feel very very disrespected. The intense feeling of hurt and suffering eventually passes. I journal about it and process it as best i can . That is the good thing. Still though, there are some people outthere that are so disrespectful , so low consciousness, that i would wanna destroy if i was in a rage state. That is because i have been hurt before by such sh*tty people. And there are certain people that i despise very much. I cannot love people who intentionally decrease the well being of others. I want to torture such people sometimes.. I probably wouldn't hesitate killing a Hitler for example. Because i consider such people the scums of the earth. That is the truth. And i won't act more spiritual than i am . Keep in mind, that i do not kill ants and animals & i pay attention when walking as much as possible to not stomp on them. Animals never have hurt me. https://youtu.be/p1RbktOlM54

I've heard from Andrew Huberman (a neuroscientist) that when brain cells die off, they n-e-v-e-r come back. This is incredibly glooming, nihilistic and kinda disheartening . Especially for me because my biggest fears have always revolved around how my brains works. I've heard about neurogenesis in the past and that it might be possible even for adults. There is much debate around this. Some say it might be possible. Others say it is not possible. I don't know what is the case.I get the sense at times that even these neuroscients have no clue what really is going on with the brain. I have seen mma fighters who have received tons of brain damage that function very well still. Usually these are the ones, that have let their brains heal for few months, before fighting again. In general i have observed that the brain can be very resilient and heal itself. @11:00

I am watching this video right now. Donald Hoffman makes the argument that reality is hidden somewhere because of evolution. That what we see is not the fundamental truth. And he has some good points too. Is he lost too much on the appearance of things and his scientific explanations? What is your opinion on his claims? His arguments remind me of Leo's videos about Self-Deception. He is also a fan of the Consciousness model. But he goes contrary to Leo's teaching that perception is truth.

I am watching the video below now. I don't understand why Leo says that there is no difference between pain and pleasure. Eating an ice-cream is a very distinct thing from getting hit in the face with a baseball bat. Very different sensations. Even if i transcend the distinction between life and death, i believe that the difference between having an orgasm or getting tortured by some Mexican drug cartel will still be very very very different at any level of Consciousness. I don't understand what Leo means. Can someone explain to me?

@Leo Gura I was watching (again) yesterday your 1st Self-Deception video. At one part you said (i'm paraphrasing): ''The thing that is deceiving you is God, thus it is infinitely more intelligent than you. It is a self-deception so total that there is nothing to compare it against, therefore it feels real"" What do you meant by ''it feels real''? Isn't it the case that it is real? Since everything i see and feel it is the Absolute Truth. Can you give me an explanation? Thank you for your time

@Leo Gura You have talked in the past how the mechanism of existence is self-deception itself. If that is the case then maybe what we see is not the absolute truth and there is something else we ignore. Can you comment on that?

@itsnutsandbolts You do not understand the point man We all spend significant time on being fearful. Just observe how many times you feel fearful every single day. The point is that we all deal with fear..It's not about being quadriplegic. It's about fear , fear , fear. And the constant what if statements. What if this happens, what if the other thing happens. That is the human condition in a nutshell. Being quadriplegic or something similar represents that you can no longer do what you love. It means severe exteme loss. If you are the type of person who doesn't struggle with this, then i am really surprised.

@Loba I understand your pain. You seem like a strong individual who can handle a lot. Do your best to change your environment. Yes in general people are very low consciousness and toxic. We just need to focus and make the shift internally. Its very easy to hate humanity with all of its egotism and greed. But its a challenge to love and understand them.

@RMQualtrough To a fool who has not read carefully the thread, and is quick to jump to consclusions ..everything is crystal clear and super obvious ^__^ Thank you for the free diagnosis man.

@zurew Every ego is fragile ^_- To different degrees of course. But still all egos are house of cards that you can easily destroy in an instance. Get abducted by Los Zetas or CJNG and see what happens to your ego. If my tolerance level was too low, i would not be in my home, typing this message here lol. Nope, i did not wanna kill her. I never said such thing anywhere in the thread. I just left the store and never looked back. Now it doesn't bother me at all. People are quick to demonize me in the worst way for feeling bad when being disrespected by others. I understand, its hard to make a proper diagnosis if you don't see face to face someone... Nevertheless, thanks for the advice. I can handle toxic behavior from others. But it hurts. Thats my issue. I don't like feeling that way.

@Jowblob I usually never fight back or cause problems to others who are being disrespectful. I just feel very very terrible afterwards. And it passes after few hours. I think that is a sign of increased Consciousness. I know that others have their own issues but i still think ''what did he not like about me ''. And that makes me feel bad. Because it creates uncertainty and doubt about myself. Your mind really wants to know why the other person acted that way. And it usually starts thinking about all your possible flaws.

@Elton Yes i try to recognize that how people treat me , has more to do with them than me. I don't have the need to do that now. After few hours, it stopped mattering. Its like it did not even happen ^_- I just suffer for a few hours and the next day i don't think about it. I would just like love to be less triggered and feel less hurt at times. Bu we are all humans. If i disrespect any person, he probably won't like it very much.

@Michael Jackson This was great . Thank you.

@gettoefl That is good advice. I usually just feel bad for few hours and the next day i don't even think about it. I would like if situations like this, did not bother me at all. But i think this is unrealistic.
