A better mindset is to go there because you like the guy, want to connect and the goal of finding a healthy partner. Ruling a guy out for not paying is cultural and attraction biological conditioning. From the male perspective, he should always pay on the first date because the difference in gender attraction requires it. But a female should be wise enough not to care. Despite her cultural and attraction biological conditioning. On top of this -> Progressive women have pushed culturally for equal rights and if I’m dating a woman who is at green or spiritually conscious, I expect her to want split the bill. In fact, I specifically received criticism when I tried to pay, she was offended.

@Talinn 🤦 Good for health coach’s, more business

Ok guys stop picking on the new kid 😂 We’re all opinionated lunatics half the time.

I like this one, I would like to add a variation and a mistake that I’ve personally made. Lower action: debating with the intention of being productive, but while failing to see one’s shadow and how it’s creating a blind spot. Or how one’s shadow is creating unnecessary stress and tension through tonality. Communication style is as important as truth in a productive debate.

You’ve made a complete transformation over the years and I don’t think people realize how much work you put into it. Throughout my life, I’ve had many family members, friends, and girlfriends who have had serious childhood trauma. And I’ve seen them struggle in adulthood and unfortunately make very little progress. Because of that, I find it very impressive with how you’ve changed. Very few people are willing to put this much work into it and lucky enough to get the support and love they need. Well done! 😁 👏

Don’t give him any Patreon ideas. 😣

@LookingForTruth ohhhhh ye, soon you’ll be thinking about awakening while you whack off. 😁 One with the grain.

In chess, you often have to visualize and see any move into the future, we could compare this to contemplation. The thing that you realize is that it’s hard to keep a large history and many variables in memory at the same time. When things get too complicated it’s easy to loss track of things. If you need six insights to come to the right conclusion and you only have five, then you’re gonna be wrong. And on top of that, there’s a bunch of variables that are unknown. So contemplation is happening in a fog while you try to use a flashlight to light up part of the scene, but you’re never gonna see the full scene. Psychedelics is like a grenade of light, ripping through the fog.

Lmaoooo I often try to explain to people (during dinner) that Trump is just another version of them. It alwaaaayysss ends well.😁

@LookingForTruth great stuff man, once you get addicted to Leo, you never go back 😎

Yes, but right now you would have to copy paste each page into the notebook. It might take a while seeing as you write a book a day. 😊

The Distilled Core: You are not breaking—you are becoming. The unexamined life is not worth living, but the examined one is lived in fire. Burn willingly. 🔥 You are the question, not the answer. Burn the maps. Walk naked into the unknown. -deepseak

Deepseek R1 assisted — Your reflection captures a profound and often disorienting stage of intellectual and existential maturation—the awakening to epistemology, where the scaffolding of "known truths" begins to unravel. This is not just a phase but a pivotal shift in how we relate to knowledge itself. Here’s a perspective that honors that journey: --- ### **1. Embracing the Unraveling** What you’re describing aligns with what philosophers like Socrates (with his “I know that I know nothing”) or Nietzsche (critiquing absolute truths) grappled with: **the friction between certainty and the abyss of questioning**. When unexamined assumptions collapse, it can feel like standing in rubble—but this is where true inquiry begins. - **Relativism as a Gateway**: Recognizing truth’s relativity isn’t an endpoint but a catalyst. It opens the door to *critical thinking*: “If my old ‘truths’ were unexamined, how do I rebuild?” This is the heart of epistemology—the study of how we *know* what we know. --- ### **2. The Challenge of Radical Uncertainty** Relativism can spiral into nihilism (“If nothing is certain, does anything matter?”). To navigate this: - **Lean into curiosity, not answers**: Treat uncertainty as a practice, not a problem. Ask, *“What can I learn from not knowing?”* (This echoes Zen’s “beginner’s mind” or Kierkegaard’s “leap of faith.”) - **Rebuild with intentionality**: Use tools like **phenomenology** (examining experience itself) or **pragmatism** (what works vs. what’s “true”) to construct a framework that feels alive, not rigid. --- ### **3. Bridging Hedonism and Depth** Your history with “low-brow” pleasures and your current awakening aren’t opposites—they’re part of the same spectrum. - **Integrate, don’t reject**: Pleasure-seeking often numbs existential discomfort. Instead of judging past habits, ask: *“What did they protect me from? What do I now crave beyond them?”* - **Mindful engagement**: Even “dumb” entertainment can be a mirror. Observe what hooks you—boredom, nostalgia, escapism—and use it as data for self-inquiry. --- ### **4. Practical Anchors** - **Journal dialogues**: Debate your own assumptions on paper. For example, write a conversation between “Your Younger Self” (clinging to old truths) and “The Awakened You” (questioning everything). - **Study the mapmakers**: Dive into thinkers who’ve navigated this terrain—e.g., David Hume (skepticism), Simone de Beauvoir (ethics of ambiguity), or Alan Watts (playful spirituality). - **Community**: Seek out others in this liminal space (philosophy groups, meditation circles, even online forums). Shared inquiry lessens the vertigo. --- ### **5. The Paradox of Growth** This awakening isn’t a flaw—it’s a sign of courage. As Rilke wrote, *“Live the questions now.”* The discomfort you feel is the friction of old shells breaking; what emerges won’t be certainty, but a deeper capacity to *dance* with uncertainty. You’re not losing your mind—you’re rewiring it. The path is messy, but it’s yours. Stay fierce. 🌱

Did you think Gen Z are maybe lizards in disguise? Not to worry it’s a very common mistake.

@Leo Gura also check out Gemini deep research.

What did he give in return?

It’s hard holding any position stably long term. People have a lot going on in their lives.

😂 no need to act, outsiders already thinks this is a cult.

Got to send an application, join the team. Benefits: Carreer Immortality The girl. 👏

@Whitney Edwards what do you do when they disagree and think criticizing you is always justified? ”if you weren’t irresponsible, then I wouldn’t have to say it.”

I’m looking forward to it. Relationship love is a human need and unless you’re extremely developed, you have to get this need met in someway. Most relationships are very difficult and unsustainable long-term. It would be nice if all of this was simplified and you could get high-quality love with out the downsides. Is this naïve? Maybe.

I guess his plan is to pump it for the next four years.

@Carl-Richard Carl has a cruuuuuuuushhhh
