@Something Funny Correct, because depending on your value systems, beliefs, cogntion, morality, psyche, ego development, and life experiences, you experience many types and degrees of suffering. So of course some ANTIFA members are suffering, both from making this movement a big deal, attaching themselves to it's narrative, and making an enemy out of fascism and fascists, some may have had difficulties in different areas of their life, and ANTIFA provides them with an outlet. It gets problematic when this group's ideas get parroted around the internet, and then anyone who disagrees with you,you can just call them fascists. It's extremely disingenuous and disturbing. It's like if I don't agree with you, I can just call you a theif and report you to authorities, or gather a mob to beat you up just because I don't like how you disagree with me. It's that bad.

@Jodistrict How do you live with yourself?

@Jodistrict Except, it's not fake. Jordan's not sociopathic and psychopathic enough to fake tears. Look at how distraught he is. Look! Those are real tears. If anything, you should be more cringed at the guy laughing at his tears.

@Ook I agree, I find it really funny that Mike here thinks he's justified in laughing at so called fascists, while blind by his own delusional view in normalizing the extreme behaviours of ANTIFA and extreme leftists who over cancel for their own reasons and call people who disagree with them, traditionalists, conservatives, Republicans or moderates with the slightest disagreements, fascits. How laughable. People like these make me side with Jordan here and the right a little bit, even though he has bad political takes, he's got good takes on psychology despite having his own delusions about politics.

Why not give Nofap a go? Assuming you watch and fap to porn daily, or often to the point of it being a compulsive disorder, in that case it's making you too feminine and maybe effeminate. Stop pleasuring yourself too much, withhold yourself from masturbating temporarily, and you'll get in touch with that masculine side of you that's willing to fuck and penetrate the world, not just your object of attraction, in this case it's women. You'll have extra confidence to approach women and take actions in general. You'll have extra energy and creativity as well ti put into some fitness and martial arts, can help develop masculinity. This is assuming you watch and fap to porn. If it's light, like you fap once ecervy other day or a week, sometimes not to porn, abstaining would give you lesser benefits, but the boost in energy and confidence and mental clarity is noticeable even here. Try it out.

@machiavelli It means that I, the thing that exists all alone, in this dream, is the real deal. However, in Solipsism, if true, doesn't just mean that everbody around me is an illusion right away, because while I'm dreaming myself this human life, they are also dreaming their human life too, in the case of human beings. Maybe it depends on so many factors prior to receiving this insight, like what your stage of development is, your cognitive and moral development, personality typing and ego development, your general and specific life experiences, and other lines of development, in this case your intuition. If you've been following Leo for 5 plus years, before tripping Leo, the older version of Leo admitted he had intuitively grasped his truths through intuition and questioning. Which means that he had to do lots of questions and develop his intuition to the point of groking the insight from those psychedelics. Even Mike Tyson, who took 5 meo DMT, hadn't grasped infinity and god, so it begs the queston of what qualities and developments are needed to grok it, because others still misunderstood those insights from those psychedelics, yet Leo hasn't.

@ZzzleepingBear It is one of many trade offs living in a democratic system rather than an authoritarian one. The authoritarian one would silence most speech that has any direct or implied anti government rule, but in a democracy there's enough wiggle room for that. This is because the authoritarian government has a lot more centralized power of the ruling class or figure head, whereas the democratic government has mostly distributed decentralized power over to the people, with some centralized power left for the governing body. In practice we went from a devil or group of devils ruling a kingdom, empore or civilisation, to mini tyrants that rule most democracies today. Right now, the internet is a symbol of when democracy has gone too far, people posting messages, images in privately owned or publicly owned websites as if it's still covered by free speech, unafraid of any challenge or pushback. Maybe it's time for the internet to be regulated much more.

@Preety_India Some people just are that deluded, and have developed delusion until at some time would act on that. At least it's related to white supremacy and not Incels this time, the later way weirder to make sense of.

@NYMPHAI sorry the image is sideways, posted in phone

@Preety_India Of course you can.

@Someone here It'll depend on what value systems, cognitive and moral development, personality types, states of consciousness, ego development, and other lines of development and general/specific life experiences with pornography, from an individual level, to a societal level. To me, pornography has served a function in society, to further domesticate most males into lesser energy levels and well being such that creativity is better controlled and managed by existing social structures, by design, because too much creativity can and does destroy parts if not entire societies. It's extremely foolish to think that we can ban all of pornography, just like we tried with the alcohol prohibition. For example, you can say that most men masturbate and ejaculate to pornographic material 3-5 times, or daily a week. However, Some men can masturbate multiple times a day, sometimes 5 if not 10 times, and some can tolerate only 3-1 times a week or every 2 weeks. Why do we see this bell curve in sexual output? Because it depends on those men's genetic makeup, body composition, health, nutrition, sleep, and other systems like the endocrine system, immune system and nervous system. Age, attraction, sexuality, sexual orientation, can also be a factor.

I think the crux of this problem, is that most people haven't developed their right brain more than the left, and end up framing these teachings in a logical framework, which won't work. Maybe we need resources to develop emotion, holistic thinking and intuition first before going deeper and broader with spirituality. While some confusion is necessary, we somehow need to intuit past that.

Depends on what state you're in before the trip.

@NYMPHAI Here it is, verh simple charcoal drawing of her profile, one of many:

So, the main takeaway of this is: Go and develop your life purpose and meaning in life, if you don't have one, or someone else will give it to you and trap you into some vision that isn't really yours?

Well, if this counts, I'm on Nofap and am slowly growing myself. Although I'm actually experimenting on myself and how Nofap effects me and the reported benefits.

@Razard86 I refuse to believe that everything is a remix. There's definitely some room for novelty and uniqueness in content creation.

@Roy Ok, I was triggered a bit because I value excellence, and pirating seems like a lazy approach to gaining content for free, and is disrespectful to the directors, producers, artists, actors and actresses that have worked on that film, sometimes hard work, only for it to be free content. How are they getting compensated for their work? Allow me to take your logic and extreme it in a hypothetical for a bit. If so many people around me, my clan members, are pillaging, raping, amd raiding coastal villages, shouldn't it be really illegal? I mean look at at all the booty and treasures we can bring back! Meanwhile, the survivors are enslaved and feel really bad about their situation. In this hypothetical, the raiders is you and everyone you saidxwas pirating, and the village is the content, and the villagers geting killed, raped, and enslaved, are the content creators that feel like shit knowing some, or most of their hard work, is being stolen for free. The key issue here, is how do we protect ourselves, assuming we are content creators, against plagiarism, in particular from big businesses?

@Bobby_2021 Isn't that essential throwing the baby out with the batth water? If Netflix content is shit, does that mean all episodes in Netflix's is shit? Does that mean episodes of all other genres is shit in Netflix? Does that mean all types of documentaries in Netflix is shit?

@Yarco 12 minutes of ads that are not skippable, per hour? I don't know, that also sounds risky to do, when a larger portion of their audiences are millenials than boomers or zoomers or the elderly, which some have shorter attention spans. If you meant for the movies that're 1 hour plus, ok, but then what about the episodic shows? Or documentaries that are less than an hour per episode? Good solution for the apps, but what about when Netflix is on tv, or the computer? I'm leaning more to ad banners especially for shorter than an hour episodes or movies because, if I'm not mistaken, even if those ad banners are skippable, a person can include multiple ad banners or even pop ups around the beginning, middle and end of an episode. There are plenty enough lessons from this Netflix situation, like what to do when, if in your role and given field of interest, that when your small business is growing, and the more successful businesses in your niche start trying to copy you, what do you do to manage or even counter that? I felt like if the founder of Netflix could've done, they could've patented their streaming services to be trade marked to them exclusively. I could be wrong in saying that, but I saw an opportunity for the owner of Netflix to patent his streaming service when almost nobody or no other business at that time seriously considered streaming services, so he could protect his online property. Am I right in saying that it's possible to trade mark streaming?

@Husseinisdoingfine No, because this forum is full of spiral wizards on the path to self actualisation and spiritual realization. Also, Neoliberalism over Liberalism over libertarianism and anarchism any day. While it's limited, it's much better than it's previous ideologies.

@Roy @Bobby_2021 pirating online content? Isn't that illegal to do?

@Yarco Ok, a better example would be a temporary bubble burst in the market. I agree that Netflix is in the right medium and direction, and that it just needs to adjust it's path and either niche down further or niche up. I don't know, maybe more documentaries versus tv shows would be a start. I still watch Netflix for the occasional drama and tv show stuff, but more for the documentaries. For me the documentaries is where Netflix's value shines the most, at least to me, so I don't think I'm canceling it anytime soon. I also don't know exactly why they are increasing subscription fees, maybe it's related to the increase in competition from big businesses like Amazon and Disney, typical predatory behaviour with their decision to add online streaming, just because they have the extra funds to try and outperform Netflix, and other online small businesses like shudder or other streaming services. I don't know what you mean about Netflix being like the cable tv services. When you said that Netflix would be better offering a free subscription and ad support, and then you said that nobody would watch ads for a cheaper subscription, how would Netflix support itself then, when it's free, and ad supported, but everybody avoids watching the ads? Unless you mean Netflix uses ad banners?

@Pure Imagination Probably for many different reasons and factors, like differences in what you value, cognitive and moral development, personality traits and life experiences so far and other lines of development. I think it's probably the volume of woke stuff in ads that is annoying to watch through, combined with ad annoyance in general. However, that's just one of many soft forms of programming and grooming on the societal level, and in this case I don't mind as the minority groups in those ads need to be a bit more normalized in mainstream culture.

Other than infinity, all of the posts so far about what is true freedom, isn't true freedom. It's 'true freedom' with conditions attached to such a concept, by you, which converts it into limited freedom. So long as you don't ego death, or become infinity, or shapeshift into some kind of creature or non physical entity, then it's safe to claim my true freedom as living the best kind of life, making millions, travelling to several countries, meeting new people and places, having new dates and sexual encounters, providing a better place for your family, a nicer job and career for yourself with your own working hours, with the ideal career, business, the best body, with the best kinds of hobbies you could pursue, with your own home. All that sounds really nice, but that's more like financial freedom or independence, but not true freedom.
