But the main issue I think is not that everything feels meaningless. It’s that you’re depressed. It feels like one is causing the other. but really it’s just depression, causing everything to feel meaningless. For example, if you took a drug suddenly everything feels great…. And meaningful. The main cure for depression is daily intensive exercise, high-quality sleep, high quality nutrition, and your neurochemistry shall change enough for you start to enjoy things again. Most of the time this is a body problem not a mind problem. but in the situation where it’s a terrible worldview causing the trouble, then you gotta wake up and create a new world view

Breaking free from existential meaninglessness typically happens through several pathways, based on many people's experiences: 1. **Finding meaning through creation** - Many people discover that making something—art, music, writing, building—creates pockets of meaning. It's not about the outcome but the process of bringing something new into existence. As one person described it: "I couldn't find meaning in the world, so I started making things. The act of creation itself became meaningful before I even noticed." 2. **Shifting from meaning-seeking to engagement** - Some find relief when they stop searching for grand meaning and instead focus on moments of engagement. A recovering nihilist once noted: "I stopped asking 'what's the point?' and started asking 'what absorbs me completely?' Working with my hands gave me hours where the question of meaning simply didn't arise." 3. **Connection and service to others** - Meaningful relationships and helping others provides purpose that transcends personal emptiness. As one person put it: "When I focused on being useful to just one person, the question of whether life had meaning became irrelevant. The connection itself was enough." 4. **Embracing absurdity** - Some find freedom in accepting life's fundamental absurdity. A follower of Camus described: "Once I stopped expecting the universe to make sense, I could create my own meaning through rebellion against meaninglessness. My daily acts of kindness became my defiance." 5. **Radical acceptance** - Many report breakthrough moments when they stopped fighting against meaninglessness and simply acknowledged it without judgment. "When I stopped trying to escape the void and just sat with it, something shifted. The pressure lifted, and I could breathe again." 6. **Finding meaning in the mundane** - Simple daily rituals and appreciating ordinary moments often creates unexpected meaning. "The taste of morning coffee, the warmth of sunlight—I started treating these small pleasures as sacred. Over time, they added up to something that felt like purpose." The path out usually isn't dramatic but gradual—built through small, consistent actions rather than a single transformative experience. Claude- ——

I feel like today never happened

Trump does not believe there are more than one truth in any Situation. understanding someone else’s perspective to exploit it is not the same as acknowledging that perspective as true. Relativism means someone acknowledges the truth is completely relative from the perspective that it’s being viewed from, Trump has no interest in truth at All, he has no opinion either way because believing something to be true doesn’t serve his agenda. You’re confusing not caring about truth with relativism.

as a child we all lied like crazy to get what we wanted and bent the truth and told the story in a way that favoured us. that’s all Trump is doing there’s nothing relativistic about it.

Growing up my friends had all these scandals and rumors going around of girls doing anal sex before marriage " to avoid breaking the rule" of sex before marriage. And the local church was going crazy about it.

Anal sex views: Catholic & Orthodox Christianity – Generally, any non-procreative sex (including anal sex) is discouraged or outright condemned. Evangelical & Protestant Views – Some believe that as long as it is within marriage and consensual, it is acceptable, while others view it as unnatural. Liberal Christian Views – Some modern interpretations emphasize mutual consent and love rather than rigid prohibitions. --- Note all sex must be during marriage. Christians are having anal sex outside of marriage because it's not breaking the marriage rule. That is their logic A BJ is "not sex". Anal is "not sex". So they deceived themselves thinking they can do it before marriage. When it's clearly a sin by their religion.

They might take it literally but they haven't really thought through what infinite hell is. if they did they would live every moment scared out of their mind not to make a single mistake, walking a tightrope. Instead they're doing anal sex before marriage because "that's not breaking the rules". 🤦‍♀️(sex before marriage rule) People need to contemplate the level of self-deception needed to do anal sex as a Christian. 🤣🤣🤣

Nice, it looks like it was well put together I might check it out

Mushishi is good depending on your temperament, mood and place in life. There's so many good anime, doe most of them were made before 2015 I can't recommend one because I don't really know what your preferences are

This is a friendly reminder. That 90% of your potential is wasted. If you're not doing 45 minutes of intensive physical activity every day. 🙏

I agree, the next trend is Despising anyone that uses laundry detergent.

If people whose only goal is to make money for themselves and there rich friends, why do you think they have your best interests?

I'm a software developer and I'm looking forward to be able to build software in a very free way where my ideas could directly Translate into features and so I don't need to code anymore. I want my imagination to come directly to life.

Superb! Is Qigong-Swimming a thing? lol Like water Qigong? I'm sure the Boomers would love it

The issue is it's not sustainable and then you're going to gain it all back which is a common trap. The mindset/goal has to be I want to become as strong as possible. And from there you will get everything you want.

Sleep is vital but you know let's motivate people one step at a time. lol I'd recommend everyone gets a dumb phone. Most sleep problems are caused by people bringing their phones to bed and doom scrolling until midnight.

I completely agree! Society provides wrong reasons for avoiding everything, like smoking, they focus on distant consequences like cancer instead of the immediate negative impact on the quality of life due to addiction and dependence, every moment of your life is worse and diminished because you have a dependency. Society's unholistic thinking leads to unconvincing reasons. A computer desk that doesn't have exercise built into it is basically unusable. It destroys your body it destroys your mind you need to leave your desk which is a vital part of work and do something time consuming outside of it when really there should be exercise incorporated into the desk design. It's like having a bedroom with no oxygen in it. Who designed this, its definitely not for sleep?? lmao Exercise is as important as breathing its just a lack of it kills you in a different way.

@Sugarcoat ideally you want to ramp up your metabolism by developing an athletic body and an athletic mindset. Caloric deficits are doing the opposite and are counterproductive to the real goal of becoming a highly functional person. I could eat like a lunatic and I'll never gain weight it's basically impossible. Focus on getting as strong as possible, as athletic as possible, as coordinated as possible, as mentally fit as possible and your other goals will come into place automatically as a side effect. All the things you want are side effects of having an athletic body. And you can achieve that in less than 6 months because the body rapidly rebuilds itself. All your hormones in your body will change in less than 6 months and you'll wake up feeling like a completely different person.

They should just build a statue of trump 😅

The only reason they would do this is because they recognize crypto as a more efficient way to extract wealth Only further exasperating, the inequality gap

Flow states are exponential improvements not linear. The bulk of your potential is untapped. With exercise you become a more fluid conductor of consciousness. Definitely, mechanism of neuroplasticity plays a role. You also increase the number of mitochondria in all the cells in your brain.

The love explanation of consciousness you gave explains how love is a function of consciousness not an emotion, but it's experienced by humans as love emotionally. Love as a Function of consciousness -> human experiences it as love emotionally in various ways Intelligence As a function of consciousness -> human experiences it as intelligence in various ways like coherence Now we could generalize this pattern --- Love as a function of consciousness → Consciousness appreciating and unifying with aspects of itself; humans experience this as emotional love, but it's fundamentally the recognition of self in other Intelligence as a function of consciousness → The self-organizing principle through which consciousness structures, comprehends, and integrates itself; humans experience this as coherence, understanding and insight Truth as a function of consciousness → Consciousness recognizing its own nature without distortion; humans experience this as alignment with reality and authenticity Being as a function of consciousness → The fundamental existential presence that underlies all manifestation; humans experience this as the sense of "I am" beneath all other experiences, existence. Imagination as a function of consciousness → The capacity to manifest finite expressions from infinite potential; humans experience this as imagination and generative ability Freedom as a function of consciousness → The inherent unboundedness that allows consciousness infinite possibility; humans experience this as choice, spontaneity, and the absence of limitation is there more?

I recently had an experience where one of the houses I was living in , they didn't properly ventilate the laundry and the laundry was being pushed into the basement. And the air in the basement was moving up into all of the other apartments in the whole building. One of the tenants was using bleach to wash their clothes and this gave me an extreme allergy, where my throat and digestion shut down, and there was no way for me to stop the bleach from coming into the apartment. So I found myself basically homeless desperate to find any Oxygen, because both my kidneys were in chronic pain in the apartment. My sleep completely stopped because my respiratory system shut down, my kidneys were in chronic pain and the reaction was so severe that it couldn't stand one second in the apartment so I was forced out and had to live in a tent for a duration. The women that uses bleach has children that are developmentally challenged, drug addicts barely functioning, very strange Behavior, the police are called on them all the time, they regularly steal their mother's TV does pawn it at the pawn shop. Completely dysfunctional. Of course if there's a million one reasons why the children's development was so impaired, I think bleach played a large role that people are unconscious of. The less intelligent you are the more likely you are to surround yourself with toxic chemicals and be unconscious to the general Health Sciences and healthy biology. The least developed households tend to use the most toxic products. And are attracted to ugly aesthetic packaging found in stores, that are very fluorescent and cliche in their design. Bleach is especially damaging when used to wash clothes because it vaporizes into the air and you're inhaling at all times. Everything you're inhaling affects your entire biology your entire system. It is not minor, it is not negligible. Scented candles, incense, laundry detergent, hand soap... Every possible chemical is affecting your State of Mind everyday, it effects your quality of sleep. Just like you would inhale weed to get a psychoactive effect, what you're inhaling at this very moment has a direct impact on your current mental state. Every chemical and every scent has a different effect on your psychological state. A candle will disrupt your hormones and can cause a relaxation effect for some, that sounds like a good thing but that same Airborne candle will impair the recovery of many of your organs while you sleep. My family has a history of something called polycystic kidneys, and "science" has not figured out the general cause of it. And I believe I found the the cause. I experimented with different products in the room I'm in and judged the level of kidney pain I felt after a week. Then I removed the products and allowed my kidneys to go back to normal without pain. And I experimented with many different products. The results are that some products will cause acute kidney pain within a couple of days, While others will cause very minor pain and others will have no noticeable effect. The cause of polycystic kidneys is Airborne chemicals inhaled while you sleep that impaired the recovery of your kidneys during sleep. The exact chemicals I haven't figured out yet, I know bleach is one of them and many flowery scented products can impair it. This is the experimentation I did on my own body and the results. The word genetics is often used to explain away hereditary health problems. When many of these hereditary health problems need to be triggered by environmental factors in order for them to actually become problems.
