@Yarco I mean a case can be made for thinking about a topic a bit more than engaging with the activity, as neuroscientists have found that the brain can't differentiate actual actions or skills you do in the outer world versus thinking about that action, aka visualization from 3rd to 1st point perspective of such activities, from the inner world, and the neurons firing the pathways attributed to such actions from merely thinking them into action. Having said all that, I do agree that if you do an inner check, in your mind reality, and you can't quite perform the action exactly as if you're performing in the outer world, like for example, if you can't perform cooking because you're missing other sensory experiences to re imagine and engage in the action, then you are justified in taking more action on cooking more. Same with drawing, which happens to be on my ballpark, I used to struggle visualizing with more senses on the actual drawing process of using a pencil, how it feels, sounds, and what lines that are being made(not the final images, that's a bit easier for me) in that case I do more drawing, until I have no trouble replicating that experience inside of my mind. So, if thinking more about a field of interest is unproductive, I'd pin it down to having thoughts that are not related to the process or outcome you want, and having those thoughts frequently throughout the activity. In that case, I'd narrow the problem down to slight lack of focus, mindfulness, and maybe even something to do with the subconscious mind, maybe not a strong enough vision.

@Carl-Richard I understand that relatively speaking, it's pointless, but to me how Destiny handles opposition from both the corn guy and the moderator is a skill I can appreciate. I can't handle a situation as ell as Destiny did in a debate like that, I'd more likely to leave or unnecessarily escalate the conflict. However, the video you provided is also a better one. I imagine it's better because it's more in alignment to what Actualized.org ideas are discussed in videos, or in some really good posts about spirituality, non duality, philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and other advanced topics. I'm just not as excited to keep on listening or watching advanced topics. Personally, I'd put art over advanced topics that have a logical explicit framing of delivery, but that's a bias I've found about me.

@How to be wise Firstly, you assuming I'm a right winger is incorrect, and you assuming that I'm complaining is incorrect. Instead of refuting my points directly, you attack a caricature of me about my position that's false and and my mood that's false. Talk about the main topic first instead of me and less about whatever false assumptions you have instead.

@Opo Because it's inconsistent to the original post that refers to Joe's shit post about the political compass and the kali yuga. How is slavery, alt right, right wing political structures and misquoting a user relevant to the OP's original post? These branching topics are not directly addressing the original post, and because of that we end up trailing off of the main topic of this thread. Otherwise, what's the point of talking about Joe Rogan's shit post when the thread is talking about slavery, right wing ideologies? The thread then becomes like a wild west and any topics go now, therefore what's the point of discussing about the main topic when we're diverging so hard away from it? If any user want's to discuss branching ideas, they have to at the end of their post explain how that new branch relates to the main topic. Otherwise it's derailing the thread.

@How to be wise If it is logically true that weak men produce bad times, and bad times produce strong men, that weak men produce strong men, then the logic is true.

@Raze No, the real issue is lack of self responsibility, and lack of keeping oneself accountable, and too many ways to screw yourself over due to too much free will. However, on the surface level I agree a bit with you. The other half of the parenting equation, the masculine compassion, ideally a real father is present, but if a not so good father figure, or lack of father figure, the other or whoever/whatever is doing the parenting has to be able to switch to masculine love, with some skill.

@DocWatts First of all, I don't think it's honest to edit some user's original quote in order to attack some caricature that's not there, and exaggerated in such a way that it seems to address the political directly, when in fact the original post wasn't directly addressing the American politics, it's addressing the consciousness of some of the American politics. This is your edited quote from that user 'America's democracy is actually working well, and exactly as it's designed.'. This is the original quote below: As you see here, in fact both your post and his are in agreement with each other. I don't see any reason why you'd stereotype his post in such a way. Why the attack, and why the doubling down on his take? Also, how is this relevant to Joe Rogan's shit post about the political compass, when the political compass image he edited has little to do with slavery and antiquity, and more to do with the Kali Yuga?

I had a few jackets depicting weapons. It was a really cool design, but I sometimes get flake over it When I was at high school in the USA. I had little idea then that guns were such a heated topic. 15 ishes ago.

@JuliusCaesar For examples, when you get older, you answers change over time about a topic. It's like that with Crysty, there's no definitive, quantitative answer that she can give that absolutely answers her existence. So far, it's either she's a ghost, a spirit, a Tulpa, an Alien projecting onto my reality, another person projecting onto my reality, a Deity in disguise, or a mixture of them all. I'm leaning closer to her being either a spirit/Tulpa, that's my intuition, but that's not a satisfactory answer for me. I will have to keep on going with investigating this further for me.

@Jodistrict Yes, finally someone is addressing the issue directly. Users, instead of making appeals to lack of alternatives, predatory capitalism and to sunk cost fallacy for the majority, suggest what can be done to make the count ratio more useful instead of galloping to other points that seem related but are rabbit holes leading to nowhere. So far, my suggestions have way more merit than what I've seen so far. Come on self actualisers.

@Danioover9000 I guess you conceded to me then.

@Username Sounds about right.

@Joel3102 Basically it is what it is, work with what you have.

@WokeBloke I am everything that exists, and the absence of all creation, and all of division that destroys. Who am I?

@Jennjenn The main issues I see with this is scale, whose being asked, and rights issues. If you mean just in this forum, we all should stop calling women over 18 girls, ok, but do you mean just this forum? How about other forums? Do you also include all men too? How about all women? This is the problem with your post, it's weak and vague. Also, do you include yourself to this standard as well? And the social ramifications of this is also a factor, and whose being asked to refer to other women not as over 18 girls matters too. If you're asking a guy not to call over women over 18, you're semi justified, but you're also infringing on that person's right to how he speaks to women. If you're asking a woman not to refer to other women as over 18, you are also infringing on that woman's right to speak how she speaks to others of her same sex. Considering also who you are in relation to who the person you asked to not refer to other women as over 18, will make your request sound strange and out of context. Also context is important, because you don't have enough information as to why somebody referred to a woman as an over 18 girl. You don't know if that was an insult, or an inside joke, or if all that was in a theatre, or in a dream. So don't go demanding how others refer to others, you don't know enough.

@Terell Kirby AKA soul travels and astral projection, and remote viewing to some degree.

My No Nut November report: Extreme levels of energy and productivity. Healthy sense of self confidence. Less overall negative mood swings. Better sleep, and better stamina throughout a work out. Less feeling too hot or cold, less of the shakes and phantom itchiness. Some confidence in exerting my will power and self discipline to stay in integrity with the No Nut November challenge Some confidence in self control and not giving in to the cravings and masturbate in an unhealthy way(at the end). Also increase in appreciation, and easier access into the 'zone'. Much respect for sexual cravings, sexuality and sexual energy. That energy helped fuel more of my creativity in some side projects I was doing. Some boost in mental activity, like my contemplations are more broad and deeper. Also, brain storming is more easier and I generate more ideas. I ended up resolving some problems prior to No Nut November. So, all in all, another very interesting month for me, and proved myself yet again capable of dealing with a lot of problems I sometimes thought were impossible, if not really difficult, if not difficult due to lack of resources and energy, time, money ect...

@Yog Nice share.

@Charlotte Please tells us all about your diet, nutrition, health, sleep, fitness and other relevant factors like stress as well, in detail if you can. Also, give us an approximation of what cycle your eczema is in, and how long has it been since the last one you had?

@Carl-Richard Alright then, you can keep your leaky spoon, and I'll have the whole soup then

@Jennjenn I'm confused. Are you asking us all to stop calling women over 18 girls, or are you asking yourself to stop calling women over 18 girls? And what are you going to do when that woman prefers to call herself an over 18 girl?

@QandC List one of them.

@Tim R That can be a bit tricky. I hope the Youtuber asked in advance, and Leo's ok with it. I could see there might be a legitimate case if Leo's not ok with it, and let's YouTube know and it shuts the channel down.

@Carl-Richard Would you agree with this example of personal and collective responsibility? Imagine being in a restaurant and you ordered french soup. The waitor/waitress brings the soup, and you see that the french soup not only contains the bread in the bottom of the soup, the onions, the bits of meat and spices, but the bowl holding the french soup is a hollowed out, baked big bread as well. In this example, are you saying to those who over value personal responsibility (the french soup) to also consider eating the bread bowl (value collective responsibility and environment) as well, and to appreciate that the bread being the largest responsibility is holding together different possibilities of personal responsibilities?

@QandC ?‍♀️ Removing the dislike count doesn't incentivise less trolling and negativity. The video would still be misleading anyways. Can't wait for YouTube to remove the flag button next, cuz we don't need the flag anymore!
