I'm as sceptical of libertarians as they come. However, how did this whacko manage to bring down inflation so successfully? So, sometimes even libertarian policies can work?

Just do whatever you're feeling to lol. Try local cuisine, and talk to locals. In India, it's super easy. For example, I'm an introvert who enjoys keeping to myself - but in India, you will be forced to talk with very friendly locals like a lot. Indians are fun, curious and super-friendly people. Visit local temples, participate in customs and rituals, hike etc. Travels will bring you to situations you would never end up living in your country in one place. And growth happens when we're out of our comfort zone. When you travel, It will happen naturally by itself. Which cities are you planning on visiting in India and Thailand?

Dude, you don't need drugs for a good sleep. Just use earplugs. For me, it works like a charm when I have issues with surrounding noise. Also, 5 hours of sleep won't cut it. You need a minimum of 8 hours for a good rest. Please, don't underestimate the importance of good sleep.

With all due respect, but biological sex is also socially constructed. It's a made-up distinction with yeah some usefulness to it. But still, some "biological women" naturally produce for example a lot of testosterone. They can be a Navi seal and do any job a biological man do. Also, in the USSR women worked almost all the heavy jobs that men did, as Soviet ideology included feminism as well. And it worked. Women worked in construction for example and served even in Army. Like during WWII there were a lot of distinguished women with hundreds of confirmed kills. My grandma served as a soldier in WW2, so it isn't that simple

Joe Rogan just endorsed Trump. That's crazy. I thought he was smarter than that. Like he used to support Bernie for Christ's sake https://x.com/joeroganhq/status/1853626637600141740

Speaking from personal experience, I also found that solitude regarding psychedelics is the best option. Even the presence of just one sober person next to you makes your trip less deep and more shallow, as if his current level of consciousness keeping you more sober as well. Kastaneda btw wrote about similar stuff explaining how humans keep each other's level of consciousness relatively the same during everyday interactions. It's akin to diffusion but in a woo-woo kind of way

It's a deeply blue video and its full of right-wing tropes that have nothing to do with reality. Also, Poland is a fascinating country, and its homogeneity is a very recent development. Before WW2 it was a pretty diverse place - (According to a census from 1931: Polish - 69% of the population, Ukrainian - 15%, Jews - 8.5%, Belarusian - 4.70%, German -2.2%, Russian -0.25%, Lithuanian - 0.25%, Czech - 0.09%)

@Leo Gura You're being very vague. Are you planning on doing a video on it?

@Leo Gura It sounds like it's more akin to feeling than thinking. Is that so?

@Princess Arabia thanks

@Leo Gura, in the video "How Socialization Makes You Stupid - Problems With Conformity & Group-Think" you mentioned that you come across a new way of thinking. You called it an 'Oblique way of thinking". What is it exactly, can you drop a hint or give examples? I only found "Oblique Strategies" in Google, I doubt that you meant them.

It certainly feels that way lol

I'd advise you to leave Lebanon ASAP. Your country is about to get reckt by Israel, most likely the way they devastated Gaza. With most damage and without any accountability and repercussions for war crimes

You don't have to go to specifically India to find true spirituality tho. Any country and culture has a unique tradition. A trip to a radically different country with a fundamentally different culture can be spiritual by itself in its own way. And I'm not gonna lie, India does feel very unique, strange and alien. Good place to explore cultural relativism and stuff. I spent three months in India recently and loved every day of my trip.

I used to have a similar experience in my early twenties. I regularly felt powerful vibrations which were shaking my whole body when I was falling asleep, it was conducive to my lucid dream practice. Also, Robert Monroe mentioned a similar experience with vibrations in his book. I don't know what it was tho.
