One of the most important chess lessons that you immediately learn is that the ideas that pop into your mind (intuition) when you actually play them on the board they're nearly always wrong. The opponent immediately will show you why you're intuition was wrong. Chess is a closed system and the board hammers you irrefutably. There is no room for bullshitting. You lose the game it's over, therefore your intuition is wrong. So you learn to use intuition as a guide and then verify and test your intuition through deep thinking and contemplation before making your move. It's only after years of effort and learning and practicing the correct way of thinking that your intuition begins to be good. Your intuition is only good within the domain that you have massive experience and put a massive amount of effort into. Intuition is based on your current models of reality. It's not a magical mystical thing. You need to work hard to discover, build and internalize accurate models. The problem is in the real world your intuition is never challenged. So you can believe the Earth is flat and it'll have no impact on your survival.

Imagine waking without ever having gone to sleep. That's the insanity of birth.

I wonder if they pass anti-slavery laws 😁

Veganism is a disease that takes years before you start deteriorating, the body has reserves. It takes a lot of money to do veganism properly and if you’re not taking supplements which are expensive then you were doing it wrong. Even if you’re taking supplements, you need to be tested continuously very carefully all your bio markers to make sure everything is up to par. And it is very easy to have missed something which over years will compound into deterioration. Brian Johnson takes 100+ supplements before 6 AM daily you also need to have the right genetics and gut Microbiome for it or else you’re going to deteriorate, regardless of how perfect your routine is.

I don’t have $2 million to be a vegan 😎

That’s true her success is a combination of many factor, her personality is fantastic and the advice is fairly good. I think if you’re pretty woman you get like a 5X boost buff to anything social media related. But I spent years studying all of the top channels trying to figure out what was the magic formula. And by far it was having a fantastic personality And the ability to tell a story.

Most people don’t know AI exists. Got to remember those images are a miracle that was likely made by flux which was released like six months ago. The average person past 50 doesn’t know how to google things.

The pretty privilege is strong with this one. All her videos are low effort, no editing she casually posts whenever. And gets millions of views.

This is so wholesome. So the birds are given money so they can buy food. The researchers gave all the money to one bird and none to the other. And the one bird who became rich gave more than half of his money to the poor bird so that the poor bird could buy food. But they shared more with birds that they had a stronger social bond with.

Leo wrote this a while ago you might enjoy it.

It is imaginary but it has been imagined so it cannot be changed through the finite mind. The more imaginary something is, the more Rock Solid it is. There is likely going to be a revolution in science that will make the current scientific paradigm look like a joke. Where deeper layers of this dream can be controlled by this finite ego mind in the magical way that you're sort of alluding to. Or not.

Even if you study Consciousness for 10 years it is going to be shocking when you lose that premium state afford to you by biology.

I agree with this, the statements I made assumed the person was already doing all of this. If someone has a self development mindset there going to work with the problem indefinitely for the rest of their life. Slowly making discoveries and progress but it is such a massive burden and derailment of one's life. Most people and spiritually inclined do not need to go down this path, it is very difficult. The loss of State that I was talking about is when it's not avoidable regardless of everything you're doing. With a mature routine that aims to maximize your daily State you'll still have this burden you have to deal with for life. The average person doesn't have to deal with the worst case scenarios. But past 60 years old in general most people will experience immense suffering because they did not study consciousness when they had the chance.

If you take a hundred people who do the same job, each of them will self-report how hard they felt that job was. And you'll get a spectrum, where some people found the task psychologically much harder, while others felt it was psychologically effortless. When someone wakes up, psychologically everything becomes a lot easier. You still have to do work, but there's less resistance to it. The above is what basic spirituality is about and why Eckhart Tolle and every spiritual teacher can just sit there and explain to you how to be a Buddhist and how to end suffering. That's about it, they're just explaining how to let go of resistance to reality. But there is a prerequisite to this. The prerequisite is that you have a healthy body. Without a healthy body, you cannot produce the chemicals to stay in a good state. You experience sobriety, and sobriety to life is brutal. State is everything. And you lose that premium state when there's biological issues. Losing that premium state is the highest loss you will ever experience. And for most of you it's going to come probably in your 50s>.

I cant believe the hypocrisy of removing his checkmark and suppressing his tweets. FREE SPEECH? How can you be this intellectually bankrupt.

Example: You wake up everyday in chronic pain. The body is not working properly in various ways. And there's no solution. That is now your life. Permanently. The quality of every moment of your life is affected by this. Every experience you have is Tainted for life. What happens is then you're forced learn to not care that you're suffering. And be okay with it. While a normal person is living and bathing in premium biology and natural hormonal drugs that they have no idea is even happening. And when you lose these natural drugs your body is flooding your system with, you experience a brutal soberness to life. There is no Grand Awakening and enlightenment to alleviate this, it's always going to be hard until you die. You're only allowed to sit there and Bliss out if your body gives you the drugs to do so. You need premium biology to be blissing out.

There's two kinds of responses those that come from people who suffered in a normal way and had normal struggles throughout life but managed to get through life and succeed or are still struggling but it's basically within the degrees of acceptable expected struggles of life. This is the spiritual New Age camp. And then there's people that experienced immense endless Relentless suffering and they had to do everything imaginable to survive and fix their debilitating issues, and have a very clear understanding that life is utterly brutal and whatever hard struggle you had before was Child's Play. Most of you have no idea how bad life gets. You're living with premium biology and have absolutely no understanding of that. Your entirely high on biology and don't understand that you are, you take absolutely all of it for granted. And all of your struggles pale in comparison to the real thing. It's like when you see a teenager struggling with growing up crisis and offended by everything. That's 99.99% of adults who have not woken up yet. Everyone is having a crisis before the ship even sunk. When the ship sinks you'll know what a real crisis is.

musty smell in Old buildings is caused by mold. And it's super toxic. It's possible that those kinds of things aren't triggering your sensitivity. After all you feel a lot better?

This one's truly showcases elon's egocentrism. Him and asmongold had a short conversation some kind of controversy, about Elon cheating at Diablo by purchasing people to rank up his character. And Elon removed asmongolds x Official check mark. This is such a blatant hypocrisy, abuse of power and suppression of free speech.

@NewKidOnTheBlock I thought that way most of my life the situation I'm in is: I can't access the gym at this moment, I don't have indoor equipment to train, it's winter and very cold, I can't go outside full workout, all I have is a floor, so to get the motivation for basic training I turned this on, and it gives me all the ideas/motivation I need to execute.

I found this the other day and it's so 80s/90s and cheesy, it makes for such a great workout! I've been doing it every day. Admittedly, I can't quite finish the entire hour, it's pretty intense.

@Thought Art 🤣 what you're saying is true. But in the foreseeable future there's no reason we shouldn't be developing technology to redesign the brain and create instant enlightenment. Psychedelics is one tool, we need more tools.

So there's a misunderstanding of what he said. The topic is social conformity. To follow a specific groupthink methodology unconsciously because it suits your survival agenda. It is a low consciousness because you are unconscious of your own Survival agenda and how it's playing tricks on you. And how you're attracted to all the things that suit your own Survival unconsciously. Which of course leads you down the path of untruthfulness in everything. Because what suits your survival is rarely true, you're just biased and you cannot see your own self deception mechanisms. Fooling yourself into thinking you know what is true. Basic emotional responses are largely learned through early family dynamics, like whether crying was met with comfort or punishment shaping our relationship with vulnerability. Our "personal" aesthetic preferences often trace back to what our early environment celebrated or dismissed, from music tastes to ideas of physical beauty. The very language and concepts we use to think and process reality were installed through our cultural and educational conditioning. Our sense of life purpose and what constitutes "success" is heavily shaped by familial and societal expectations we internalized before we could critically examine them. The range of "choices" we believe are available to us is unconsciously limited by what our social conditioning has framed as possible or appropriate. Our deepest moral instincts, while felt as universal truths, largely reflect the specific value system we were raised in. Even our perception of time and relationship to past/future is culturally conditioned rather than objectively given. The ways we experience and express core human needs like love, belonging, and self-worth are patterned on our early attachment experiences. Our default ways of relating to authority, conflict, and power dynamics often unconsciously recreate our family system's patterns. The fear of ostracism and social rejection activates the same brain regions as physical pain, creating a powerful motivation to align with group norms. People quote studies they haven't read just because they support their existing beliefs Changing your natural accent or way of speaking to match the dominant group Buying specific brands or clothes just because they're popular in your social circle Hiding interests or hobbies that might be seen as weird or different Laughing at jokes you don't find funny to seem agreeable Pretending to like certain music or movies just to have common ground with others Adapting your personality to be more extroverted/introverted based on the setting Changing your opinions to match whatever group you're currently with Censoring parts of your life story that don't fit the "normal" narrative Mimicking others' body language and mannerisms unconsciously Downplaying your intelligence or success to avoid standing out Pretending to share common struggles even when you don't relate Hiding cultural practices or traditions that might seem different Avoiding expressing controversial opinions even when you feel strongly Changing your food preferences to match what others consider normal Suppressing emotional reactions that might make others uncomfortable

@trenton I'm glad you found peace. Let's imagine a scenario where what really changed was that the air you were breathing changed and therefore now your mind is not hyper Vigilant anymore. And your whole family is toxic because they're all the breathing that toxic air in that house hyperstimulating them all day and night. Notice the problem of epistemology here. You moved house and your mental health problems changed in a very short period of time, an incredibly astonishing short period of time that took you 20 years to not solve. But you contribute your success to everything else except that you moved house. The idea that everything is in your head is one of the most toxic ideologies and cultural problems we are living in. It is such a massive blind spot that half of reality cannot be seen.
