Btw the question thing is such a dumb easy fix too, just change it to "do you believe most women xyz..more/less than men", then we'd be getting somewhere.

You don't understand what a hypothetical opinion is and still seem to be conflating it with my actual views for whatever reason. I'll spell it out clearly for you: I do not think that everyone exaggerates their problems in society, nor have I ever thought that, and such a view is obviously ridiculous. Clear? The rest of your comment was pretty unintelligible except for the part where you agree that it's not an accurate test. And you're wrong. "No" answers to those questions are also generalisations as soon as there's atleast one woman out there that does do xyz. You have your own bias with affirmation vs negation. Look, the generalisation is in the question, not the answer. "Women." vs "This specific woman" = generalisation. There simply is no right answer to that question, as some women may and some women may not do xyz. We can discuss biases though. It's an interesting topic: I'm pretty curious now: If you were in grave life or death physical danger from multiple (4+) attackers, and you had to pick between either 4 men, or 2 men 2 women, or 4 women to help you, who would you pick? I included the mixed team so you can be neutral and don't fall into any bias.

1. Why are you critiquing a hypothetical opinion made for the point of an argument and conflating it with me? Maybe english isn't your first language but the wording "If I'm of the opinion...then I would have to.." signifies a hypothetical scenario to make a certain point that doesn't necessarily reflect my actual opinion. Ironically, you're the one that's fabricated a false belief about me. 2. How can you possibly say the test does not rely on generalisations? If every question is structured "Women do / are xyz": If you answer yes, that's a generalisation. If you answer no, that's also a generalisation. Notice how the very act of answering is itself an act of generalisation and categorising. I don't think you've really thought this through.

Are you critiquing my hypothetical opinion, or are you critiquing the test whose every question relies on such generalisations?

It's a garbage test. For instance: "Women exaggerate their problems in society." If I'm of the opinion that everyone exaggerates their problems in society - both men and women - I would have to answer logically with yes, and it will be ranked as hostile sexist despite neutrality. Such a question - and many others - should be worded "Women exaggerate their problems MORE than men." to have any approach at validity, and even then it's flawed. And that was just one problem out of many. It goes without saying that most questions are obviously too generalised. By the way, if anyone here genuinely thinks 0% is the correct thing, I'd be fascinated to hear why. True 0% genuinely means - by extension - that men and women have exactly the same capabilities, values, tendencies, everything. is that really your opinion?

This thread is an absolute goldmine, thank you. Do you have any personal report somewhere on your own rounds, experiences, benefits..?

Taxed by who? Redistributed by who? The government? And who is the government? Hint: politicians that go to Davos. -

Literally none lol. What a colossal waste of time and money instead of just starting right away if entrepeneurship is your desire. -
It's not. Case closed.

Ok, well, what is "happening"? I mean, youre contradicting yourself in your own sentence here. if you understand time isnt real, then obviously nothing ever happened because happening requires time and time requires happening. if you feel somehow, something did once happen, then time is real for you to some extent
-
Because it's much more fucked than that..even Now is nothing. There's no timeline whatsoever and no seperate solid things to be even happening in a timeline. It's not a timeline, it's a singularity. And there's no solidity ever happening. the perception of time requires a fabricated comparison of things changing, a comparison of things changing requires time. They cancel eachother out and collapse into singularity

Do you have any favorite resources for staying up to date in this space? -
iOS has in-built screentime. It's excellent. Have a friend do the password.

Lol. Awakening doesn’t turn you into Mystical Superman, nor does it make you considerably better at game other than taking things less seriously and being more relaxed, unfazed and grounded.

True spirituality doesn't give a fuck. You're the one creating biases. You're peddling fake spirituality. -

Here's the thing: realising there's no self =/= the actual permanent dropping away of the center anyone can realise the falsehood of self, even the most basic "I AM WITNESS" stage realises the falsehood of small I, but for the center to completely drop away is different and it's extremely rare. Most "enlightened people" are exactly that, enlightened people. There's still a center there that got enlightened. For it to drop away completely is atleast as if not much rarer than taking acid or DMT and realizing infinity, that's what Frank is saying. Or maybe it isn't, this is just storytime. Leo thinks the "enlightened people" he knows have realized noself. But chances are their center has not dropped all the way. It's the same utter uniform, loopy centerless parity you experience on 5-MeO, it's not your average Eckhart Tolle. -

Maybe it was your couple 5-MeO trips that gave you access to the infinite loop aspect of it, you having done 5-MeO is the one variable that sets you apart from guys like Shinzen, Ingram etc who did shit tons of vipassana but dont talk about loops 5-meo + vipassana hybrid path is da way my brahs
