@BlueOak I 100% agree, this ideal approach towards education, and letting students explore other domains of mastery early, holistically exploring early what they could be good at, and letting them specialize over time is crucial. Even though there could be hurdles in providing 500 plus classes and curriculums that allow for this type of learning, and maybe quite expensive, it not only produces geniuses but alsk saves so much time and energy for society as a whole.

It all depends on the stage, cognitive and moral development, psychological development, states of consciousness and life experiences, along with societal infrastructures, of the person and the people. If a country is not ready for socialism, no amount of forcing of persuading the population to be progressive and socialist in their view would do it. Likewise, if a country is democratic, it's not ready to regress to an authoritarian dictatorship. It seems like no matter what person or group wins the votes and gets to rule the country for some time, ultimately the authority given isn't permanent but temporary, meaning that that power can later on shift to another group, so ultimately who/whose group should hold absolute authority? By what standards do we adjudicate that kind of power to? Who gets to decide that? How do I know that is the right authority to give to?

Depending on the peeson, empathy has different types and degrees. If I came across a person, and in our small talk I learned he plays chess, I can emphasize with that 'chess player' because I too play chess. If I came across a person who's sad, I can relate, even if later in the convo I learned she's sad for being kicked out of an online game community because she cheated, which changes my empathy for her. Despite not being exactly a gamer cheater in the past, if asked if I could emphasize, I can when I substitute that to me getting kicked out of a group because I wasn't good enough or slowing down the team, or just for being weird, so if it turns out her motivations for cheating is similar to mine, because the game was too hard and she needed the A.I engine to calculate moves, or if this was F.P.S, she'd use aim bot to shot properly because of wrist problems, then I'd emphasize more. What's the difference between empathy, sympathy and pity? Do any of these need past direct experience?

@Preety_India I 100% agree, especially the rap music 20 + years ago, and still to this day. I grew up listening to Eminem and luckily for me, because I received enough love from my family and some friends, the experiences I had travelling to different places, and that I was a bit different psychological to my peers then, I grew up fine. If I'm being honest, I'm in it for the music beats and lyrical sounds and the relationship between tbe music and vocals, despite some of them, if interpreted literally, can be downright sexist, misogynistic, inciting violence, rapey, domineering, demonising ect. Back then I mostly listened to his songs, but over time I didn't. Nowadays I listen to other musics with the occasional rap, and mostly freestyle rap about flowers and gardens.?

Another example which happened, is Eminem's view of Donald Trump, which is negative, and expressed implicitly in a song where he suggested that he would be bombed in a car. Of course he took this serious and sent FBI to investigate this, but the charges shortly dropped. So,the point of this example I'm making, which is a bit different from censorship and cancellation, is that is this legal grounds to take and sue an artist for inciting violence at a person or place?

@Rokazulu I understand that. In the flip side, from a person whose stage green/orange, whose cognitive and moral development allows him to emphasize and be compassionate to others, psyche and ego development is higher, states of consciousness more holistic and emotional, and wjose life experiences are diverse, would justify censorship and cancellation of a rapper on the grounds that such a rapper, whose stage blue/red values, lower cognitive and moral development, abnormal psychological development, denser states of consciousness and lesser or more limited life experiences, as being in tbe streets as a gangster for example is harmful psychological to younger more impressionable minds inchildren and teens. He may argue subliminally that the rap music is perpetuating gang violence. However, not all rap music is centrally about the thug lifestyle, or the gang bangers, the sex, money, fame, assaults. So, how does society sort out the wheats from the chaffs? In my opinion, maybe Eminem is biased towards censorship and cancel culture because, well, he's slim shady. Also earning millions from his album sales as well. What do you guys think? Is rap music just entertainment or is more than that?

@Butters The main dangers are related to your respiratory system and cardiovascular system. If you have issues with your lungs, don't add more stress to them by breathing rapidly. Also, don't generate too much tension while holding your exhale, and especially your inhale as that creates internal pressure upwards to your brain. If you're unlucky, you could cause a tear in the capillaries in your brain which can lead to stroke, or cause long term bruising of the inner layers of the capillaries and veins/arteries that'll lead to a stroke in the future, or a heart attack. Fun fact: Dim Mak is a martial art that focuses on striking vital points of the human body, to compound pain or cause immense damage through over stimulating the opponent's nervous system. While there's fluff and wierd strikes, strikes to the arteries/veins, especially in the neck, are more dangerous as they can cause momentary spike in blood pressure upwards to the brain, which can either cause an immediate fissure in the capillaries right there, or long term scarring that'll eventually Actualize later in life. Honestly I'm fed up with Wim Hoff method breathing technique and shamanic techniques flippantly being adviced without proper warnings and disclaimers to their potential dangers to a person's lungs and cardiovascular system. Just because a method works for one person, doesn't mean it works for everyone. It all depends on your health and if your lungs and heart can hanele it.

@How to be wise ? Trump's advice would be: lie seriously, myriadly line by line.

@Razard86 At this point, honestly the problem is so big it doesn't matter what race, gender or age of the main group causing the gun issues that are causing a very particular problem. More importantly is we got to come up with solutions to effectively regulate guns. That's it. Even taking into consideration the value systems, cognitive and moral development, psychology, personalities, states of being and life experiences, we still need more regulation. And don't ask in this worded way. Why? it makes you look like you want to paint the user@DocWatts in a bad light. Naughty.

@Husseinisdoingfine I own a gun too, but... it's a lighter In seriousness, as long as you obtain it legally, and trained, clean it and put it on a secure safe box, it's fine, while you are still single or with a short term GF. You have to stay vigilant with taking care of your gun.

@Raze Likely the bigger factor here.

@Jodistrict I relate to this, been bullied myself over a few things about me. However, as much as hated them, I didn't turn out that bad. During part of my high school, I was in America, and had my share of bullies even there. Almost anywhere you go, you will encounter them. I guess it really depends on the person and the love they received from family, their values, cognition, morality, psychology, states and life experiences. DiSCoMPoSiL.

Here's one example of this: https://youtu.be/Z0bM8Qinvak

Are you guys not concerned with censorship and cancel culture?

@Blackhawk Why are you obsessed with cuteness?

@MarkKol I don't know about that. Too simplistic of a solution to gun control.

@Magnanimous Have you watched all his videos and followed Leo for 5 years? in his old video about spirituality, and limits of rationality, he said he was an atheist and rationalist and skeptic. Leo isn't religious at all, so of course a soul doesn't exist for him. However, I'm partly Christian and protestant, so a soul does exist to me. It really depends on who you are, your psyche and development stages you go through.

@DocWatts I have a feeling this problem will persist past our lifetime, heck maybe 4 generations go by and still gun control problems. At this point, if no democratic and political solution works to control and regulate gun supply and ownership, then we have to consider martial law, if mass shootings and gun terrorism stilll keep happening and is slowly on the rise. Of course, if the government implemented martial law, the public is gonna cry out state control or facism or the next civil war, but what other way is there? Soft forms of programming like ads showcasing the harm of guns in public? A what if your child plays a gun thinking it's a toy? Economic sanctions on gun businesses? Double down on ideological and political narrative warfare? Teach gun control in the education system? It's a deep, tricky issue with no clear scope and risk free solutions.

@Ulax This is a really good post.

Results: Rational Ability = 34 / 50 Rational Engagement = 36 / 50 Experiential Ability = 38 / 50 Experiential Engagement = 33 / 50 Ok, now where do I go from here?

EU and UK based organics are generally more trust worthy than the USA, Russia and China based organic products, especially if it comes from bigger companies.

@caesar13 No, right sub-forum to post topics related to jobs, careers, life purpose. It's not a smart thing to do. Ideally, I'd keep personal stuff out of businesses and jobs. If you really have to include personal software or stuff in a company space, then something went wrong with how you're managing work and personal things. 'Don't eat and shit at the exact same place', quote from a drug cartel leader.

@abundance Probably. There's treating the real issue, and then there's thinking and concepts that make you negative. Big difference. I think that's that. Nothing prescriptive addressed here, other than noticing the worry the concepts are causing you first before following it up with actions.
