  1. @peqkno Great find. Coincidentally, I came across that just the other day, too. Kudos for sharing.
  2. Fairs dude. I think there is some truth to that. I think we have different perspectives though. I think that there are a lot of parties that manipulate discourse to achieve public consensus that they like. Its like how Chomsky talks about the idea of manufactured consent. We believe we choose, but the very process of choosing is manipulated. Also, this manipulation doesn't even require the relevant parties to be knowingly manipulative. Although, I think there are many that do.
  3. I'm worried about this. I think he's absorbed a lot of right wing rhetoric unknowingly. I think he thinks he's being apolitical in his desire to uphold free speech. However, it seems rather right wing for me. I could see the platform becoming a lot more segregated, and division in society, writ-large, increasing as a consequence.
  4. Sounds brill dude. One thing tho, usually lads find the first approach of the day the hardest. So, doing only one might actually be harder than doing a few. Either way, kudos.
  5. Maybe you'd like do-nothing meditation more. Will likely aid creativity
  6. Can't give advice. But respect for the process it seems you've made.
  7. I'd like to hear some more thoughts regarding the academy (academia). Perhaps, some critical theory (i.e. integral/ foucault) on the process and systemic nature of discourse
  8. @Illusory Self You're welcome. I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you, if you decide to try it out
  9. Maybe, its entirely possible. I prefer Horney's idea that its more a manifestation of power envy
  10. I'd ask them why they think that. And then ask the same of their justifications. I find people's arguments tend to quickly unravel after that, or they tell you stop asking questions lol.
  11. @Illusory Self I'd do a small goal and a main goal for each task. I.e. Say you want to study a chemistry book for 30 minutes The small goal would be something to break your inertia. The goal being to get you started in a very easy way. For example, in the current example, you could set the small goal as, 'Touch chemistry book'. The main goal is what you actually originally aimed to have completed. Here the reading of the relevant book for 30 minutes. Hope it helps
  12. - Restructure schools into safer places - Increase accessibility and attractiveness of depth psychotherapies - Increased welfare state
  13. @Raptorsin7 Was that in addition to the one you were telling me about on my journal?
  14. @Zeroguy To me, psychic system essentially refers to the organisation of one's mind.
  15. @Rokazulu I'm not denying there are benefits of meditation. I meditate myself a lot.
  16. I'd go to a depth psychotherapy
  17. More mental health awareness = More mental health detection = Higher reported rates of mental health issues.
  18. Ye I agree. I find many meditative teachings to be disrespectful to the psychic system, and many parts.
  19. Ye but in those very attempts to verify the solipsistic view there is a lot of psychological risk. Also, whether we consciously like it or not. Much of what we believe is because we hear it from a source we trust.
  20. Lol come on dude. Its well known that solipsistic ideas can fuck with people psychologically
  21. I'd probably listen to other women's perspective on this. Same way I listen to other dude's perspective on how to be attractive to women. Otherwise, you get the, 'I got knocked out by mike tyson' advice imo lol
