"Family Values" don't make sense to me personally. 
I clash with my brother on this all the time; he is really emotionally attached to my immediate and extended family, whereas I basically see them like I don't give any particular importance to who I'm related to, they're just like everyone else to me.
I do appreciate growing up in a household that was creative (they are both artists) and having a family that doesn't abuse me. But I totally see that valuing family will and does get in the way of embodying your vision. I have never really found a reason to include family in my vision for my life, other than society telling me that family is super important for some reason. I can 100% relate to being around family when travelling and not being able to fully surrender to the experience.
 
I would say that you can be ruthless to who you "cut out" of your life, and at the same time be courteous to their feelings. Unless the entirety of your life's vision is to "please mommy and daddy", then they don't need to be a big part of your life, that doesn't mean you need to stop calling them or visiting them on their birthdays. 
You sound really wise and inspiring, I wish you all the best.

I have been stuck in the house with my parents for almost 5 months now. Normally I would be in college and I had plans to study abroad but because of the pandemic I had to move back home. I have since worked through a lot of family trauma in therapy so the good thing is that I'm not super triggered around my parents anymore. That said, I know deep down that I am not happy nor fulfilled here.  It is rather draining to deal with them. I simply want to detach and move on. I tried to talk to my dad about this since he tends to be more understanding.
I told him that I want to leave as soon as I become financially independent because even though I am not in pain, I simply don't like it here. He went on this whole thing on how I "don't have family values" how "blood is thicker than water" and how "there is no one like family because people outside of your family don't care about your best interests and will stop at nothing to screw you over."  I know a lot of this has to do with trauma and his upbringing, but the whole concept that you should do anything for your family and take whatever is dealt to you rubs me the wrong way.
I started thinking this way in regards to cutting my family out even before the pandemic started. In January, I went with my family to the Taj Mahal. It was a beautiful place and I enjoyed taking in the experience but I felt miserable during most of the trip my mom was yelling at the service workers  and the rest of my family was going on rants about nationalism.  It taught me that I could be in one of the most beautiful places. I could literally be standing in front of one of the seven wonders of the world, but with the wrong people around me, I simply won't be able to take any of that beauty in. It was heart breaking. I feel so trapped in this circumstance with no place to go, not because of the pandemic but because of narratives of how "family is the only one who is going to love you" that are being fed to me.  As concerned as I am about the pandemic, I kinda can't wait to go back to college. I realized that I'd rather be alone during a pandemic than be with my family at paradise.  My life is beautiful and I want to appreciate it to the fullest extent. 
I also grew up South Asian and I feel that this narrative of putting family first is so pushed on us and for a long time I thought that cutting off your family was simply a white people thing. 
I'm not mad, I'm not upset, I'm just done. I love my family, I just don't want to have anything to do with them. 

Recently I watched Leo's video on Self Deception part 1, and he made a point about the whole concept of family just being another self deception, a profound and hilarious quote from the video is
It is true. My self actualization process is just scratching the surface, I still strugle with depression, confusion, anger, sadness, etc. Every day working to stay present with these feelings.
Probably one of my biggest neurosis is my relationship with my father, recently I've felt that I don't love him very much, I feel pity, compassion, anger, resentment. This lack of love also happens with most of my family members which I feel as strangers. I'm sure that my inner child has feelings of love towards them but other fragments of "my self" feel very different. Of course society's indoctrination tells us that we SHOULD love our family just because the "genetic relationship" or because they raised you, gived you shelter and "unconditional love" etc.
An advanced self actualized human can feel the same love towards his mother or towards a coffee table, but I'm not at that level yet. Can anyone relate? How do you picture or experience a propper relationship with family members who you dont really love. People who have gived their best to raise you (and that in itself is admirable and something to be grateful) but due to tremendous neurosis have created deep emotional wounds? "SHOULD" it be a "close" relationship? Or if we decide to have a distant or non existant relationship, isn't it very likeable to feel guilt for not "loving as you are supposed to love your family"? My family, specially my mother criticize me a lot for being distant and not being loving with them. Maybe is just an inner child crying? a crybaby? I have no idea where this comes from, feeling confused about this topic.

@Water by the River The issue with everything you said is that it admits that there exists consciousness higher than your own. Which most enlightened folk and nondualists would like to deny.
So you are trying to have it both ways. When I claim higher consciousness, you ridicule and deny it. But when I corner you about why you cannot walk through a brick wall, you tell tall-tales of higher Buddhas and astral deities in other dimensions. And you plead human finitude.
You justify your limited human dream as being necessary and enjoying it. But when I speak of pursing and enjoying higher consciousness you dismiss and ridicule it as something indulgent or misguided.
So all this means that you are an enlightened bullshitter. Your spiritual bullshit is precisely designed to prevent higher consciousness. And THAT is the reason why I teach in the manner that I teach.
I do not care about tales of astral realms. I asked you why you cannot walk through a brick wall on Earth. And the only plausible answer is: because you lack consciousness.
If enlightened people would just admit that they occupy a low state of rat consciousness then I would never say a single bad thing against them. But that is the last thing they want to admit. So here we are.
I hope now everyone is crystal clear on this matter. I will not be wasting any more of my time explaining myself to you.

@Sempiternity I have very high standards. The solution is to be very selective, fuck less, and find fewer girls who you're really into and would be willing to get serious with.
Or if you just wanna screw around then you need to go to places like clubs where girls aren't expecting much.
Obviously you can't be treating some hippie commune like a nightclub where you're pulling girls and doing one night stands and then never texting them back. That kind of behavior aligns with Orange, not Green and Yellow places.
What you lose in quantity you can make up for in quality and depth of emotional connection.
You say you want Green & Yellow girls, but your whole attitude towards sex is deep Orange. So there's the disconnect.
You know how much sex I had to surrender just to keep my integrity? It would make you cry. You can't be an Orange man-whore and also reach peak levels of consciousness. Consciousness is gonna cost you pussy. This is where your priorities are really put to the test.

I love the taste of dark chocolate so it is acceptable within reason and assuming you will be doing heavy metal detox throughout your life.

I discovered that Alpha Lipoic Acid can be a powerful nootropic on its own.
Just be careful that you don't have a bunch of heavy metal toxicity, or it can make things worse.

It's absolutely perfect.
Don't doubt yourself.
The whole point of this work is to realize that GOD IS PERFECT.

Of course.
Yes. But you're not fucked because you can do a lot to correct stuff like social anxiety.
Social anxiety is really just pure bullshit. You can overcome it entirely. It just takes work.

@numbersinarow Maturity is the ability to not respond to despicable behavior with despicable behavior.

"My speed of aging has dropped to 0.64"
This is such BS.

No president will make you rich.
Tokyo is like the most overcrowded and overpriced place in the world. Don't see why you'd want to live there unless you got a killer job from a Tokyo company.
Best place really depends on your line of business. If you work remotely the best place might be the middle of nowhere in Montana.
Big cities only make sense if you need to be there for work or to get laid.

No. In fact psychedelics make it easier in the sense that you know what to aim for.
It is harder in the sense that you might be less motivated to work as hard. But maybe you will be more motivated. That might be a personal difference.
My health problems existed regardless of psychedelics. I have a genetic autoimmune disorder.

Im not sure. I was abused as a kid, my dad was a heroin addict and died from an overdose and my mum an severely violent and abusive alcoholic and from gypsy heritage. But both me and my brother have high IQ, I was coding algorithms by age of 7 and got a school scholarship as a kid.
My dads grandmother was ashkenazi jew, which has the highest average IQ per any group. Even though my dad was a heroin addict, he was also very intelligent and me and my brother would play math puzzles as he cut up drugs to sell in what can only be classed as extreme poverty. My dads life resembled the film trainspotting he lived in filth, often we would watch my dad or his friends dieing, or sleep next to them as they did die, in filthy sqaulor
My mum however is severely unintelligent and so is all her family. So me and my brother must have got our intelligence via genetics on my dads side

We know that's not true because IQ rapidly increased in developing countries over the last 100 years as their mode of living became more civilized and prosperous.
IQ has about a 50% heritability.
Of course if you are born a chimpanzee then you're stuck with that.
Yes, genetics is huge. But it's not the only thing to focus on.

@Peo If you had zero lines and you saw a cute girl, what would you say to her?

Change it up and be more natural.
The opener doesn't matter. Be more authentic instead.

The whole vibe is off.
Rich dude pumping himself with millions in chemicals to stay young and immortal is just an obvious red flag.
Calling this ego-trip science is a stretch.

This guy is like the posterboy of bro-science BS.

Not really.
The way humans do love, family, and community is based on falsehood and lies.
The reason men go into a cave is to avoid the toxic, corrupting, and distracting influences of community. That's why the Buddha left his palace life to wander in the woods. You're not gonna find truth living in a palace with your family. All of that is a distraction. And women are distracting themselves all the time.
The #1 enemy of truth is survival. You are so busy suriving you don't have time for truth. And the more relationships you juggle the less truthful you will be.

Math works by self-definition. You set the definitions and then use them consistently.
1 x 1 means you have 1 group of 1s. Which is 1. That's the definition of multiplication we agreed upon.
Terrance is not being consistent with his use of definitions and units. He is changing it to suit himself whenever it is convenient to him.
We could could define 1+1=11, but then we have to apply that across all mathematics consistently.
You can create new kinds of mathematics depending on how you choose your axioms and definitions. Whether that will correspond to anything in the material universe is another manner.

To the contrary. Daily meditation is a waste of time. Retreats is where results happen.
Meditating for 4 hrs does nothing. Meditating for 100 hrs does something.

Maybe. Or maybe it means Putin invades Moldova next.
You don't really know Putin's aims. Nor does John Mearsheimer. Thinking that Putin will only take a chunk of Ukraine is foolish and naive. Putin will take as much as he can steal.
I do generally agree that NATO has been expanded too much and should stop expansion.
But you also have to understand, US foreign policy is not set by the President, it is set by the deep state, who will not allow Trump to surrender NATO to Putin.
The CIA and DOD are not stupid like Trump, and they will not let Trump just do stupid things. Our CIA understands that Trump is a dangerous fucking clown. The CIA has smart people.

I don't judge her as a person, I just decide whether I would be satisfied sleeping with her. Because if I wouldn't be satisfied it would be a waste of her time.

Be careful just believing him. I have found that he says wrong things at times. Impossible to validate all his grand claims.
