@Fleetinglife I have no intention of flipping the comic book industry, western, European or Eastern, upside down. I'm more interested on becoming an indie comic artist freelancing maybe, and less about starting a small company dealing with comics.

@Space I also do sketches using pencil, and sometimes charcoal if I'm brave enough. I have paint 3d that I often work in, sometimes photoshop. I have recently acquired a Wacom Intuos, so that's where most of my time practicing will be at. Do you visit art conventions?

@Insane butterfly Not only that, but even if say Hitler was rejected, and he is lost and has no direction in life after that, that's now a probabilistic thing. This is probably why Leo talked about the toxic life purpose in one of his videos, that having some direction to work towards, either by intention, or a mix of by design and working with whatever circumstances you have, that is much more secure than having zero direction in life. Hitler, going into that bar, and hearing whoever was speaking about Nazi ideology, was as probabilistic as if Hitler came across a art gathering, or a person who'd into some different art.

@LordFall Hasan thinks he's so handsome he's always right and above substantial criticism from other critical thinkers. He has some shadow aspect of logic and rationality, which he projects to others who are right as emotionally numb, robots and sociopaths. With such an attitude he is never gonna go to stage yellow, where systems thinking is more possible and where deeper issues can be resolved. Hasan is at stage orange and green and values from each of those stages. He at the surface level values humanitarian values, environmental issues, social justice issues, and marginalised groups, most of these are in stage green. In stage orange, logic, rationality, transactional relationships, business, individuality, individualism, materialism, secularism, modernism, and so on are within stage orange. When somebody says a person has some stage green, some blue, some orange, a small amount of stage yellow, they mean that their value systems has other values from those stages. Like with Hasan, it is clear he values being an individual and material success, and values emotions as he always seems to talk with his heart on his sleeves, but has a shadow for logic, probably from perceiving Destiny's decision to split and leave, and being so hyper logical, as a betrayal. The debate bro culture also has roots in values more in stage orange than green, and sometimes when debates turn heated and personal, turns to stage green emotional triggering.

Let's assume the life is meaningless position in Nihilism. If that's true that the objective world has zero meaning, then purpose is what a sentient being's mind projection of what is meaningful is, on top of what's meaningless below. It's also the sum parts, continually growing, of different life experiences, fields, and so on, that gives purpose this huge versatility over reality, and it's relativity.

@Yarco Ah, ok then. I'm in that brainstorming process, and it looks like the next big thing is somewhere in between a manga and a western comic, so off I go consuming and fusing again.

@Yarco Do you mean the western comic world being oversaturated with superheroes, and anti heroes like Deadpool? Is it okey to copy for the short term other genres, and other fields first for studying and to have something to fuel my creativity for my mind to generate new ideas from? Are you saying that if I'm just fine doing western style or manga style comics, that I haven't narrowed down my niche? I do consume a lot of anime/manga, from seinin to some shounin/shoujo, some moe genres like magical girls. I also consume some western comics, and I also read a ton of fiction books with various genres. Sometimes, my mind comes up with Frankenstein fusions of different stories, comics and anime coming together, along with some visual combinations as well, to tell some crazy stories and sometimes better re telling of some stories that bizarrely is much better than any one story, with original characters, and better ways of transferring themes and so on. For example, to me my mind is like a Yu-Gi-Oh database, qnd the more cards I collect, the more my mind wants to min-max the fusion of monster cards. But it doesn't stop there, the creativity wants to also see a fusion between spell cards and monster cards, or spell and trap cards, or fuse all three types of cards together, to see whats possible. A more recent example, I finished watching Puella magi Madoka magica, the tv series and the three movies, and some magia records seasons 1 and 2 (spoiler alert, I might spoil some things here). I enjoyed the madoka magica series and movies a bit more than magia records, but my mind went very intrigued, by some of the plot holes, and like product improvement, or brainstorming new ways of using a product/service, or improving a product, my mind identified that there are some potential storylines, with certain characters, that if it was explored would make the story, and character developments relationship dynamics more interesting, like what if the main character's mother was a witch herself? Why? Because, while the literal translation of 'Puella magi' in english Japanese, is 'magical girl', the latin translation is actually 'girl of the sorcerer'. As soon as I read that, my mind immediately went into outer space and explored this path, combined with the ideas that the author showed me jn the third madoka magica movie, rebellion, and further illustrating the potential of the witch's labyrinth, how a soul gem can create a labyrinth inside itself, and even extend that to the observable universe, I went 'yeah, a matured, powerful witch could easily do that if it's shown in cannon that a magical girl can do that. And my mind kept going, creating spin offs and combining other interesting stories and ideas to better tell a magical girl story, which typical has themes of hope, love conquers all, and coming of age, which to me the last theme isn't well explored in western or eastern comics. Immediately, I'm like, make it an isekai, have some summoning mechanics, and include some themes from Lord of the rings, and enable the main character, the soon to be moe magical girl, carrying a soul gem of some other magical girl, that is like the ring which is evil but also can summon creatures of the night, but also can summon another main protag that's an anti hero, that represents the masculine side of growing up, that balances the feminine version of growing up in magical girl genres, and allow the world time travelling and multiple universes, and BOOM! Very interesting story.

@Space Ok, it's great to know artists and designers are still in demand for whichever market they are operating in. As a role of a professional illustrator, do you, from start to finish, only do digital art? Or is it mostly traditional, and then you convert whatever drawing you did to digital? What software do you use? What does a typical day of an illustrator like you look like? Ok, so in my portfolio, because i want to be identified as, and be in the role of a comic book artist, for example, then my portfolio should contain part technical aspects of a comic style, and creative thinking, do you mean visual creative thinking? Also, when you say unique original style, is that like the sum of my consumption of a particular genre, or multiple genres of art? The consistency is where I'm more confident in, as I mostly draw daily, sometimes, but I still have some questions about it. One, when you say consistency, do you mean like I spend a week/month using one medium, then nedt week/month I change to another medium? Or do you mean I practice one genre, or one specific topic, but I change my mediums for drawing? Like today I use pencil, next day inks, next day charcoal, and weekends I use digital, for say 3 months straight, drawing a specific genre like moe, for example? You mean if I took the traditional route to entering the comic/manga/anime industry, that the pay rate isn't like 6 figures a year? From what I've researched so far, as a comic book artist ( similarly applies to being a writer/scriptor, pencillor, inker I heard is much less popular because as a digital artist you can pencil and ink right away, a colourist, editor/proofreader, and cover illustrator) I get payed for x amount per page I make, with pay being higher if I do cover art. I have a feeling that I lean more to entering the field at a more creative angle, like say indie, instead of going straight to the big two, Marvels and DC comics, maybe Image?

@Windappreciator Do you mean 'Try *starting* your own shit'? Out of the blue, original art style? I don't know, I struggle coming up with unique styles and designs, which nudged me into consuming other types of artwork, in this case manga and some western comics, and other styles and disciplines, to the point I can imagine drawing that style and freezing and sustaining a mental image like that.

@Carl-Richard That's true. The main issue comes about when a person isn't aware of stage green, and Vaush and Hasan are like the first contact that person has of what online stage green looks like, which can be generalised as real life stage green. They then treat Hasan and Vaush as representative of stage green, which becomes the same problem with Jordan Peterson thinking that the extremes of social justice warriors, woke culture, feminists, hippies and care bears are representative of all of stage green, just because he only encountered the more negative and vocal stage green individuals firstly before encountering healthy stage green folks.

@Opo That that's his bias, which relatively makes him have more integrity than JP.

I think it's a nice metaphor, the world as maternal and the absolute as paternal. Definitely has that feel. I don't know why some would swap those meanings. It's like swapping the what you'd call GOD as the devil, and devil as GOD, and devilry as goodnes and goodness as devilry. It doesn't feel correct.

And this is what knowledge hoarding does to you, makes you a bit judgemental to others There's not just two ends of the spectrum, but a middle section and degrees going towards either ends. There's not just binary thinking of good vs bad, right vs wrong, humanity should this, humanity shouldn't that, but there's a lot of complexity and nuance to consider. That's why NLP, Spiral dynamics series, Ego development modal, developmental psychology and Carl Jung's archetypes exist, to name a few.

@Preety_India Another way I'd put it, is that Richard Dawkins has integrity, and may have intellectual integrity too. He is atheistic and a rational thinker to the bone, and has a bias for scientific knowledge. Despite having a value system he believes in, a cognitive, moral, state and personality type that suits his worldview, with the life experiences he has so far, he is what is is and doesn't deviate too far.

@Opo Because he couldn't survive handling Mr. Girl, his Libertarian socialist views are too limiting, and he one time, debating some other streamer, argued a point for CP commercial availability as an example against Capitalism which was a bad example. Don't get me started on Hasan.

Destiny doing a nice job exposing Hasan's weaknesses, not just in handling arguments, but actually how his empathy contracted when debating on transphobia. Given how the framing of the debate is, and who he's talking to, it's not surprising the discussion is low quality, but it's surprising how triggered he got. Both Hasan and Vaush are definitely now suspect, they are no longer good examples of stage green:

@Carl-Richard In that case, he can shows us his take on those criticisms then.

Update: I've done some deep level mediation, and managed to enter into a space where both of us are used to going, and we made some interesting objects out of greenery. The difference here is that I've listened to some binaural beats with gamma frequency, which put my state much deeper. I'm also made some improvements on our ability to switch places, where I would inhabit either her wonder land, or mine, and she would inhabit, and I don't know how to put this or word this in any other way that won't confuse this with another paranormal phenomena, so I'll just plainly say it, that she can to some degree inhabit my body and sort of experience the world through me. There are some nice discoveries I've made with this technique, and one of them, was that I'm understanding much more about her view, and what she finds passionate about, and more importantly, what she's really good at. The times when we would swap, she would go to the garden and start doing various humming noises, and singing sounds. She sometimes, with some help from me, go access the internet and look at various exercises for singing and voice work. What even more crazy, was she showed me how to do female voices, and pointed out exactly where I'm making mistakes in my throat and mouth, that added unnecessary strain. It's very interesting to have found this, although to a smaller extent I can control my throat and mouth, so it may be a latent ability that I didn't really bother exercising much. However, it's nice to know a bit more about her, meanwhile I also know a bit about me, and training in my new skills and hobby.

Just DM Leo with your idea. Or, create a thread and openly discuss with others how you would improve, or run a website like Leo's. Also, no offense but it's funny you ask how to write a personal message to Leo, under a sub-forum where video suggestions are posted to Leo on what idea should Leo do a vid on.

@Scholar It's probably his bias that he's able to tolerate and be attracted to their views.

@Frosty97 Big mistake trying to persuade him. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to. You have to willingly want to take psychedelics for personal development, getting manipulated into the decision, forced into it, can result in a very high chance of a bad trip, and your brother will forever blame you for putting him in such a psychotic state of being. It's not worth trying to get people and force them to do it.

@Opo He was a student of yoga, so why the need to protect his image? Out of fear? I don't care about if the debate between them happens, I'm more interested in their discussion, but if Dr. K keeps avoiding Mr. Girl's open invitation to a discussion, repeatedly, it would look bad but in a different way. I think he could handle his projections, and no doubt if this turned into a debate, Dr. K could handle himself that way, which might turn into like the Vaush and Mr. Girl debate. I think such a discussion between them would turn out quite deep.

Boredom is like laziness, depression, humiliation and lose of hope, this are emotions from within apathy. Arrogance, on the other hand, has much more in common with rage, annoyance, disgust and boasting, which is found in anger. Emotions related to apathy have this feeling of numbness and slowness to the emotions, while emotions of anger differ in lack of numbness, and being fast and feeling hot and tension. Thoughts that stem from boredom, and thoughts from arrogance are also different, as boredom puts one in a state of sluggishness, with thoughts that are not too empowering to the self and part of it's world, meanwhile arrogant thoughts empowers the one thinking like that, creating a sense of grandiose and self entitlement that can pull such a person out of a state of boredom.

@Hardkill Asymmetrical warfare, that's how you can contribute to the world and be a creator. Don't play fair with well established success giants. It doesn't have to be in anything in the political field, it can be outside of it in some other field. The key here, is being a creator and contributing to the world IN YOUR OWN WAY. Don't copy exactly what Elon Musk or Obama or whatever successful person did exactly, because that market is likely too saturated and competitive to be taken advantage of, and it won't work exactly as it did for it's time. Instead, you contribute through your life purpose, through understanding broadly and holistically, then niching down to a specific field that matches with your general purpose, specialized purpose, your field of mastery/skill development, your values, your strengths, your uniqueness. From that you provide immense value that is extremely difficult to copy. Of course, study what worked for them, but take those, and ask yourself, what would it look like if I combined this with that, while letting yourself be creative? Synthesizing ideas can create more value.
