Red To Blue:

Who cares, every member state has a military already.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/22/football/allianz-arena-rainbow-colors-uefa-spt-intl/index.html Lighting the arena in rainbow colors was supposed to be a statement against Hungary's Stage Blue anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Now UEFA forbids this saying: UEFA is definitely a Stage Orange organization that doesn't value the well-being of minorities. But I guess we already knew this given the stadium in Qatar was built by slaves, a lot of whom are dead now.

We should be careful in our interpretations and conclusions. Let's first put the gun violence in Sweden in perspective: This is data from 2012 but I've see similar data for 2015 and beyond. Sweden doesn't seem to be doing that bad relative to the rest of the world. Especially the US. And then, is Stage Green goverment to blame for this? Sweden had a liberal-conservative PM from 2006-2014

Right. These people long for things like "simplicty" but don't necessarily see there's a trade-off. It's similar to some spiritualy-minded people wanting to "get rid of their minds."

Amen Life is a work of art

Interesting story: It's from the same guy who made the Samadhi movies some of you may know. I found this quite interesting but I do wonder how he could have possibly encountered these "beings" without any psychedelics. Unless he deliberately leaves that out.

Guess I'll join the discussion, lol. I've never been able to ejaculate too many times in a row but my ejaculation can last really long lol But after ejaculation is indeed a good time for contemplation. Usually my mind immediately jumps to deep thoughts after it happens without any effort.

@Karmadhi Sex is indeed a survival need for men. But women have their own survival needs when it comes to sex. And thus their own unique challenges too. And I agree that the education system should be focussed on developing you as a human being too and that this could help. But I disagree with your idea of "regulating online dating": Try imagining being a girl (or a gay guy) and hundreds of men want to sleep with you because you're hot. What would you do? Sleep with all of them? Nah. You'd only choose the highest quality guys, right?

@Himanshu I like this one: Below is like the "ordinary world" and then above there's the "higher world" that most people are completely oblivious of.

Don't know if this counts but I suppose you're all familiar with this: The Flammarion engraving Some context: Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammarion_engraving This image always reminds me of how spiritual work helps you "break away" from the ordinary, from the known.

I think he presented it in a way that's somewhat understandable I like the following he quoted from the authors of a research paper:

Orange really can't stand Actualized.org (as it is today) Also hilarious that Spirit Science and Actualized.org are lumped together like that.

Well, there's nothing to be ashamed about there. A love for truth is something you cannot fake. Leo already gave you a good answer but I'd say "a love for truth" is something that tends to increase as you develop yourself.

I was learning about nanoscience this morning and came across this slide. Read the yellow part: That's quite some wisdom for a physics slide

Reminds me of people saying life is harder if you're more intelligent. Altho there's more truth to that lol. Either way, be grateful!

I'm not an American but I've been following it a bit. Joe Biden appears to me more progressive than I had previously thought. I've read he even keeps good contact with Bernie. Now of course Biden isn't perfect and it's important progressives keep pushing for important policies like M4A and Legalized Weed etc. but I do really think Joe Biden is the best president the US can have at the moment.

I agree with everyone here that the thumbnails look really good! It's a nice combi of his old thumbnails with just his face and his newer ones. @Leo Gura Will you consider adding clips from your blog too? I know they aren't made for YouTube but some are really good. Like the one on Requisite Variety for example.

@Matt23 Self-typing is indeed very difficult. But I think it's still better than using an online test that doesn't take cognitive functions into consideration. I think it's possible to self-type if you deeply understand the cognitive functions and keenly observe yourself for years

@SirVladimir Thank you for your share. I have read through the article you shared. I find Jung's idea of the "transcendent function" very interesting. Makes me excited to learn more about it. I'm especially interested in what the practical ramifications would be and how one would realistically develop it.

I only use edibles and don't smoke. Although I wouldn't consider myself a stoner

Can you describe what you mean by that? Give an example?
