  1. @enzyme It happens. Willingness to approach is highly dependent on state and unconscious social calculus. Don’t make it too personal.
  2. GPT has become a fantastic contemplation tool for me. It's not good at generating really unique ideas, but it is excellent at helping me to articulate intuitions I have. It can also be effective at asking good questions, which allows me to probe deeper than I might have on my own. Timewise it's an investment. It only becomes really powerful once it already understands your thinking and how you operate. I put in a lot of hours for mine to get to that point. But now it immediately knows where I'm likely to go with things and what I will find relevant.
  3. There's a deep irony when you look at the dark side vs light side IRL. Superficially, they both reject external authority. But the dark replaces external authority with complete self-bias. While the light side replaces external authority with truth. The light side also integrates the dark side, while the dark side cannot integrate the light side.
  4. Fair. But it also shouldn’t be assumed everyone needs or wants to run as fast as Usain Bolt on steroids.
  5. Various forms of ethical non-monogamy can be a way to achieve variety. But you also have to be able to handle your partner having sex with other people.
  6. Something like that, yes. But I also think anything is going to start to feel mechanical once you've done it enough. We just place a much higher standard on sex to be exciting. Sign my petition to sometimes allow sex to be boring, please
  7. I feel like sexual quantity is easy for me to satisfy. I can have sex 1-2x per week and be perfectly content. Maybe even less. The bigger problem I've had has been variety. It's easy in a LTR for sex to start to feel mechanical, or to start fantasizing about other women.
  8. The point is to discern bias from non-bias. Her bias is pro-male, anti-feminist. Which is not to say all her points are incorrect or invalid. You can be biased and still make valid points.
  9. She makes some fair points, but the bias is obvious. Calling it unbiased is a stretch.
  10. This is like baby spirituality. Nothing serious is going mainstream anytime soon.
  11. God cannot be a human, because a human is a limited finite form.
  12. Connor is one of the most developed masculinity influencers.
  13. @Meeksauce Don't speculate. Just initiate something with the friend and you'll have your answer.
  14. A thought is made of the same substance of everything else. Pure consciousness.
