Don't listen to anyone on this forum for fashion advice lol. Just have fun with it, who gives a fuck. Experiment, wear things that don't look good, adjust your style, and gain confidence in your choices. Be bold.

@MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI How often do you talk to women? You could be the hottest guy on the planet, but if you don't put yourself out there, you won't get any women. Talking to more women will make you understand their psychology better, make you a better communicator, and ultimately make you more attractive to them.

Then go ahead and frolic in the fields my guy - nobody’s forcing you to start threads like this. But instead of just throwing around accusations of naive bias, maybe take a minute to actually provide some real critique. The perspective you offered just wasn't very appealing or thought out. People have been offering you different perspectives, and they’ve given solid, well-thought-out reasons why their bias exists. If you’re not ready to engage with those ideas, then fine, but don’t act like dismissing them without a real argument somehow makes you look meta. Step up with something substantive or don’t accuse others of ignorance.

I was referring to his argument not to him as a person.

Fair. But if I can't call his argument stupid, I don't think he should be allowed to use islamophobic dogwhistles.

This is a stupid argument and you know it is. Don't you see what is happening? Isn't it proof enough that the way things have been approached weren't right? Israel now poking in every direction they can, provoking Iran, Lebanon etc. etc. This isn't about living in a peaceful state. This is about power and it's backfiring. What Israel is doing and what it has been doing is not good for it's survival nor peace.

The more powerful force in any conflict bears a heightened responsibility for its actions. While no one is suggesting that the Palestinian people are morally flawless, this is entirely beside the point. When the U.S. invaded Iraq, discussions about Iraqi indoctrination or their treatment of LGBT individuals would have been distractions from the core issue: the overwhelming use of military power and its devastating impact. Similarly, in this conflict, the focus should remain on the actions of the stronger party, as it wields the most influence over the situation and its outcomes.

It's almost like taking over someone's land, militarizing to no end, contantly bullying your neighbors and restricting rights to people due to their ancestry will make you unpopular and put you into survival mode. Also "muslim Jungle", you sound like a facist my man.

@Nivsch Their resistance to an occupying force? "Oh if that jew didn't kill our german diplomat, we wouldn't have to launch the Kristallnacht, your actions caused our anger!!" Let's forget that the parents of the jew have been arrested and deported. "We had no choice but to tighten restrictions in the country we are occupying, they are constantly doing terror attacks and trying to resist :o" Israels actions directly contribute to terror. They are very aware of that but it gives them an excuse to increase their influence in the region. But of course, after palestinians get occupied and mistreated for decades, when they eventually strike back, people in this Thread can argue: "Oh wow, look how anti-semetic and backwards those palestinians are, they have no democracy and they are brainwashing their children. They simply have violence written in their DNA. There is no cause and effect. We simply have to bomb them :)))"

You said that you wanted polygamy, a relationship with multiple girls. When someone tells me they met multiple people at a party, I would generally assume it’s more than just two. In modern polygamous relationships, especially in the context of consensual non-monogamy, all parties are typically involved in an open and sexually inclusive dynamic. That’s why I initially misunderstood your intentions. As for how you’d approach it, it seems quite challenging. Most women have many options, so why would they choose a situation where they only receive half the attention? You would either need to offer something very compelling or ensure they are highly attracted to you. Again, where I come from, many people engage in polyamorous or ENM relationships, but it’s rare to see a situation where a man has multiple partners while the women remain exclusive to him, why would they? I'm not saying it's impossible but it just invites so much drama, jealousy, comparisons, etc., etc. One way to go about it might be that your current girlfriend would be the one introducing other women into the relationship. And of course, she would have to be fully on board with you dating others, falling in love with another girl, being only secondary priority, knowing there’s a risk of losing you. It also raises a bigger question: is your current partner truly right for you if you’re so easily willing to consider leaving them over what seems like a half-formed fantasy? Good luck dude, sounds like you're in for a big headache.

Are you cool with your GF having other boyfriends? Are you cool with the idea that you are cuddling with your girl and then she leaves to get fucked by some other hotter guy? Are you cool with her talking to you about what she did on the weekend, even in detail? Are you cool with constantly reassuring each other, communicating deeply about insecurities, and being alone while your partner is out and about? Are you willing to take the risk of STDs? If your answer to all of these questions is yes, visit Berlin. It's very common here. If your answer is no or you feel like the privilege of having multiple partners should only be extended to you, maybe rethink. Maybe you are also just not ready for a monogamous relationship yet and need to date around more to figure yourself out. Monogamy and non-Monogamy both have advantages and disadvantages. Determine which model work best for you and determine which disadvantages you are willing to accept.

Do you think Mike Tyson would have been a better athlete if he had been more selfless? Without ego? Not caring about winning? Not saying this is a healthy approach. But it is well known in psychology that people who achieve extraordinary success are fucked up in some way or another.

@strika Not at all man. Lots of highly successful people are fueled by Trauma. Selflessness and personal development often kills the ambition of sticking to one thing for decades. Low self-worth, insecurities and hate towards others can make you a phenomenal athlete.

@Princess Arabia That's exactly what happened in psychology. At first they had the term identity disorder, then they renamed it to identity problem and then they dropped the idea entirely since it was so common to have some sort of misalignment in identity.

Sounds to me like you are hiding behind some relativistic bs. You weren't applying the same benefit to vegans which you have no issue judging for having an "identity disorder". But once you get called out there are just "different paradigms". There is no consistency in what you are saying man. You are using spiritual mumbo jumbo to dilute basic logic if it is uncomfortable for you. How do you come to truth? Vibes? Yes? That's what I said. As far as I know, quite a bit, vegans tend to be more wealthy, health conscious, educated etc etc. My argument wasn't that being vegan is the healthiest possible diet, my argument was refuting the take that Vegans can't survive long term.

Man, you have no argument. You said, vegans can't survive long term, which isn't true, now you are shifting the goalpost to say, it's because of science that they can. Okay, if that were to be true, so? Without science you'd live in a cave without a device to type this on. Doesn't mean that you should do that. Human behavior co-evolves with their inventions and advancements in science, morals and culture. That's a good thing. Right now you are just falling for the naturalistic fallacy. You are shifting to make your wrong idea work. Instead, maybe it's time to rethink your broader argument. I'm not saying you shouldn't eat meat, I'm prepping 1 KG of chicken as we speak lol. Your argument just makes no sense. You are not a crocodile bro.

Gottcha, you are just wrong then. This is not a matter of perspective, there is enough research out there. Especially with a well-planned diet and proper supplementation Vegans can survive long term. On average vegans live longer and healthier lives than non-vegans. Man, you can't just state wrong things so you can live your life guilt-free and then wiggle yourself out with some bastardization of Ken Wilber quotes when confronted.

@integral From my perspective it seems that you are saying: "Let's pretend something untrue is true, so my dysmorphia argument makes sense." Correct me if I misunderstand you.

But you are not, and you don't need to. You might want to pick a different axiom to base your argument on.

The levels of mental gymnastics, my god. Humans aren't what they were 1000s of years ago. With your logic you can justify rape, theft, murder and whichever other depraved acts. Just eat meat and shut up about it.

wild vid. Experienced this many times. Videos/audiobooks talking to me, spiritually guiding me, instantly responding to thoughts I have, almost like a conversation. Often in a gentle way where it can kinda be attributed to being a random delusion but it also seems so real in the moment. When I rewatched the same content in a sober state, there seemed to be nothing spiritual or guiding about it. Also had moments where technology seemed to be acting up in a way where the time on my laptop stopped working or displaying seemingly random numbers and my internet stopping to work. About why you might not be "allowed" to record in higher states: My theory would be, that it could be a sort of protective mechanism. Your lower state self couldn't comprehend what happened to you in your higher state. Having a recording wouldn't serve you. You'd be trying to bring static hard proof to a nondual flowy infinite state. It allows these two seemingly uncombinable realities to co-exist, saving you from having to question your day-to-day reality or the higher state. What you seem to be doing now is trying to understand your higher states through the lens of your lower state and I applaud your efforts, but I have my doubts that you'll get satisfying answers.

How manipulative. Politicians adjusting their politics to the will of the people... almost sounds like democracy ?

A government can do more than one thing at a time. Shocking, I know. If a child starts walking, do you complain why it isn't sprinting?
