  1. It's the exact opposite. You will 100% lose your awakened mind state if you get dementia / stroke, no matter who you are. Nothing about Ramana or any other spiritual teacher is so special that it would prevent that.
  2. You could be dating someone who is excessively neurotic. But also, these sort of responses from women are often like warning bells. She doesn't feel safe / secure / containment in the relationship. She's not in her feminine. The issue is almost never just about the specific issue itself. It's about your general orientation. Are you handling survival effectively? Are you genuinely taking responsibility, or are you avoiding? Ignore these warning bells at your own peril.
  3. Yes, but it’s more than that as well. You have to have the natural potential / talent. The natural potential is the lottery part. Practically, you don’t have control over of this. But that does not mean success is random.
  4. Survivorship bias does not eliminate that there are real factors that determine success. Like skill. Skill trumps everything. If you are skilled and committed enough at something, you will eventually be successful.
  5. I watched the video you linked. That was more than enough.
  6. Sounds like typical new age, influencer BS.
  7. If there were only relative truths, that would be an absolute.
  8. This would not be good at all. Some degree of wealth inequality is important in a society.
  9. Bro that cannot work in a real relationship. Your lifestyles are going to clash, it's inevitable. The question is how benign it is and whether it should be considered a dealbreaker. Assuming a decent partner, most lifestyle quirks people have are pretty benign and can be easily compromised on. The idea that you will never have to compromise in a relationship is absurd. Decide what you want. Do you want relationship and compromise, or zero compromise and isolation?
  10. Okay, then it sounds like your standard is you don't like when people have particular ways they want things. Is that reasonable?
  11. Marathons are definitely problematic. I see so many people destroying their bodies over these.
  12. It's a tradeoff. If you're literally not willing to budge at all, then of course you cannot be in a relationship. It's just a question of what do you actually want. Also, consider if your standards are actually legitmate or just self-imposed absurdities. I could make a standard that no one I live with is allowed to breathe within five feet of me, and this would immediately ensure I just cut out 99.99% of people.
  13. Liberals are incapable of properly understanding the manosphere, no matter how well intentioned they might be.
  14. It's not safe to assume she has had some deep, personal transformation. Politicians flip all the time. That's just how power games work.
