God created darkness. God created rape. You can't escape that through any amount of mental acrobatics.
God created rape. No way around that unless you deny rape exists.
Rape exists absolutely.
You chose to create rape.
Not only am I saying God created rape, I am saying YOU created rape. No one else. You.
So you have that to face.

No, that's not what I mean by existential truth.
Evil is imaginary. That's the existenial insight you are missing.
Because that is what is existentially true.
Of course evil is love.
It must be. Because everything is One.
No. God literally invented rape.
Again, you are fixated on human survival.
I am not talking about what is good or bad for human survival. That is irrelevant here.
Sure. But so what? This did nothing to increase your understanding of reality.
It's as if we are having a philosophical discussion and you tell me you need to take a shit really bad. Okay, go take a shit. But you have made no progress in philosophy.

Frankly, Dan might just be a classic anti-semite, Jews-run-the-world brained.
But at this point I'll take it cause someone has to call out Zionist lies, propaganda, and devilry.
Horseshoe theory strikes again! 
It's just amazing Dan's double-standard about not trusting people who lie to him. He refuses to trust Zionists because they lie, but not Trump? Israel is bad for doing Israel First, but not America?
Lolz

Solipism is not a thing you "buy into". Either you are conscious that you imagine everything or you are not.

Fortunately humans are imaginary and you are the one and only God

It's a hoax.
Everyone who speaks of no-mind is using mind.
You can have short periods of no-mind, but you can't live from that place.

This is bad. RFK voters are gonna add to Trump.
RFK is dispicable.

There is always only one thing: Consciousness. It takes on various states.

Yes I relate to that
But also notice if you were to be alone for a long time you might actually desire to be with people again and miss them
At least I'm like that I don't know if you can live alone forever in some desert or not

I think if Elon took the narcissism test he would score pretty high.
But maybe it's just good ole fashioned ego.

The biggest thing will be values alignment. Find friends whose values align well with yourself and then friendship will be pretty easy if you invest energy into it.

That's creepy and repulsive.
Writing poems is not gonna get you a girl.
If you don't want girls or sex, then do whatever you want. But if you want girls, then stop acting like you're too cool for school.

I think one of the most profound discoveries of my life is that human interaction does not really produce happiness. It can be a nice experience, but it’s ultimately an impermanent fleeting experience, and it doesn’t really fundamentally make me feel any better than if I didn’t have it. In fact, just being alone in my own awareness is far more satisfying than having to play human. All human conversation is also usually about past, future, problems, and pop culture, it really drags me into concepts, thinking, meaning making, and judgment, which all really produces quite a bit of unhappiness and obscure being. Playing human just ultimately feels like a chore, I was just wondering if anyone else could relate?

What are you smoking?
Of course they haven't. Pornstar sex is super shallow.
You're not gonna enjoy sex as a pornstar because you're gonna be too busy dealing with the logistics of the shoot. You would probably be too nervous to get hard. Don't envy pornstars. Their ability to enjoy sex is probably very low.
Sex feels amazing to the extent that it is rare. As soon as you make it common place it loses most of its appeal. It's like eating a bag of sugar. That's not the best way to enjoy food.

If you were born a mule, indeed your intelligence would be crippled and there would be nothing you could do about it.
However, much can be done to increase a healthy human's intelligence.
A lot of high IQ people are pretty dumb in terms of how they live life.

Yes, it is very hard.
Yes, it does point to deeper systemic economic problems which need to be reformed.
But, it can still be done. Success requires a lot of trial and error and persistence. Remember, you only need one thing to pan out. All those courses have laid some foundation. Now you're ready to pounce on some new opportunity.
Success in business requires being opportunistic and creative. You can't just copy what everyone else is doing. You must always be on the lookout for your niche. Always be thinking about how you can provide massive value to the world.
3D printing sounds like an exciting new field with enormous future potential.

Huge red flag. Your friend is not really a friend.
If he took care of you for one month that's maybe worth 1-2 months of rent, max.

Destiny is hardly "mainstream". He is very niche.

This IQ test was designed by a fool.
What does knowledge of English vocabulary have anything to do with intelligence?

There are many ways to do pickup wrongly.
Why are you learning from guys who don't get results?

@Joshe It's not that your statements are false per se, it's that you are overly focused on a small aspect of the situation. There is more to understanding Musk than focusing on his tweets or even his politics. Why would you reduce a complex phenomenon like Musk to politics?

All humans are my mind.

I know it is.
But it is no business for a philosopher.

Hi Nemra
I wonder if looking into the topic of "Autodidacticism" - which is Self-education as in education without the guidance of masters (Old days) and in our modern time it is without professors  and/or institutions - would help?
Here I can speak with experience as I have lived as an Autodidact and a Polymath. Polymaths are often autodidacts.
Here is a list of famous autodidacts:
Abraham Lincoln
Albert Einstein - taught himself algebra, Euclidean geometry, and calculus when he was 12. He also independently discovered his own original proof of the Pythagorean theorem, and he had worked through a geometry textbook he was given by his family tutor, Max Talmud.[64] When Einstein was 14 years old he says he had "mastered integral and differential calculus".
Allan Watts
Alfred Russel Wallace (Co-discoverer of Natural-Selection with Darwin)
Benjamin Franklin
Bill Gates
Bruce Springsteen
Buckminster Fuller
David Bowie
Edison
Elon Musk
Ernest Hemingway
Frank Loyd Wright
Frank Zappa
Galileo
Gustave Eiffel – The engineer who designed and built the Eiffel Tower
Henry Ford
Hermann Hesse
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Depp
Julian Assange
Karl Marx
Le Corbusier
Leonardo DaVinci
Mark Twain
Malcolm X
Michael Faraday
Neil Peart
Nikola Tesla
Oprah Winfrey
Orson Welles
Russell Crowe
Sean Parker - Former President of Facebook,
Steve Jobs
Steven Spielberg
The Wright Brothers
Van Halen
Vincent Willem van Gogh
Walt Disney
William Blake
This list should tell you that Autodidactism is much more common than what one would assume. It often emerges from the lower and working class of society, where formal education is an unattainable luxury – although this is far from being a rule. An autodidacts will not let an obstacle such as a lack of financial resources stop him from learning. Until the advent of the Internet, Libraries were an important source of freely accessible knowledge. And the Internet is the new catalyst bringing to fruition the golden-age of autodidactism.
When one is young it is very difficult to know if Autodidactism is one's call. For me it was much later in life that I figured this out about my learning-style.
Here is a list of some of the personality characteristics that are more or less typical of autodidacts:
Self-motivated and NOT correlating learning to earning a degree: An autodidact is driven by passion, self-discipline, and internally-sourced interest to engage consistently in his studies. His motivation for the acquisition of knowledge is not for the pride of owning degrees or titles, or from pressures imposed by an external authority; but for the sake of knowledge itself.
Curious: Autodidacts have a strong desire to learn about the world and the various subjects they’re pursuing.
Disciplined: They hold themselves accountable to do the readings and work that they promise themselves they will do.
Systematic: Autodidacts study plans are internally formed and self-directed. Rarely they follow a rigid methodology of learning; but rather an elastic and malleable structure that is spontaneously and naturally formed, and which is adaptive to the continuously changing circumstances of life.
Goal-Oriented and Focused: Autodidact naturally set learning goals to guide their studies and their study plan. Being focused on something is not a part-time state of mind, but a continuous way of being.
Resourceful: They know how to find study materials, often free or affordable ones, that will help them reach their goals.
Natural Learner, fast and efficient who has a passion for diving deep into a subject with a great ability for absorption and and above average retention: Rarely an autodidact will be content with a ‘little’ knowledge, or a superficial degree of knowledge. Typically they strive for the core knowledge, and for the most advanced knowledge on a subject. Being on the cutting edge of a subject is natural for an autodidact.
Stands above & beyond the paradigm of ‘victimization’: Typically, an autodidact has no time, not even an instant, to feel sorry for himself. Being paralyzed by a sense of victimization is not a state on the palette of Autodidactism. Any and all obstacles that stands in the way of an autodidact is perceived as a welcomed challenge, and an opportunity to learn something new, or to learn something more deeply. An autodidact continuously shifts the obstacles that continuously emerges into a series of opportunities that shapes one’s life. Where most see complications, the mind of an autodidact sees avenues of potentials.
Life-long learner: An autodidact does stop being one. He or she does not retire at one point in her or his life from the pursuit of knowledge.
Polymath: Rare an autodidact limits himself to a single subject of knowledge
 
There are some advantages to being an autodidact - one being to choose the subject of study, their studying material, and the studying rhythm and time.
Autodidacts may or may not combine formal education, as a complement avenue of learning.
 
The horizon of Autodidacticism has been transformed by the advent of the Internet. As one of the effect of the Internet - A robust Fact-Checking ability has become an essential skill and a requisite for Autodidacticism. In our modern time an Autodidact must know how to detect and recognize misinformation and disinformation - which is prevalent in the medias BUT also exist in a very special form within some scientific fields - especially those of medicine; nutrition; climate-science; among others.
In fields like Art and Craftsmanship there are huge advantages to be an Autodidact.
...And Autodidactism is also a subject of Philosophy :-)!
 
... if you are an Autodidact type of learner you will not escape that destiny... 

They don't.
If there was agreement then why are conservatives freaking out about these queations?
A construct within a construct.
That's the power of the myth of "science".
