One of the strangest things about being human is realizing that there is always more. More things to learn…more ideas to think about… more books to read…more people to listen to…and more ways to spend your time. At first this seems exciting because it means life is full of possibilities. But after a while…all those possibilities can become overwhelming. Instead of feeling free..you start feeling lost. If you spend enough time exploring your own mind…you begin to notice that it never seems to end. One thought leads to another…which leads to another…and before you know it you’ve spent hours.. days..or even thinking about the same subject from different angles. Your imagination also has no clear limit because there are always more possibilities..more questions..and more ways to look at something. You could spend your entire life exploring a single idea and still never reach the end of it. The same is true when it comes to knowledge. Every subject branches into more subjects. You have physics..biology..chemistry..psychology..sociology.. anthropology..history..economics..and hundreds of others. Then each of those has its own smaller areas that people dedicate their entire lives to studying. No matter how much you learn.. there is always another topic waiting for your attention. The internet makes this even more obvious. There are endless communities..ideologies..lifestyles and belief systems. You could spend years following New Age spirituality..veganism.. the black pill community…NoFap..pickup culture.. politics.. or any number of other movements. Each one claims to have figured something important out. You could easily spend your whole life deeply involved in one community without ever seriously looking into the others. Language itself is endless. Every word is explained using other words.. and those words are explained with even more words. If you’re curious enough you can keep digging forever. Every answer creates another question. The same problem shows up with books..podcasts..YouTube videos..and courses. There are millions of them covering every topic imaginable: philosophy..science..psychology..spirituality..art.. healthcare..self-improvement..religion..business..politics..and much more. You start asking yourself questions like: Which books should I read? Which YouTube channels are actually worth watching? Which subjects matter the most? What should I learn first? Eventually all these choices become exhausting.. You might spend ten years studying spirituality only to wonder if you should have spent that time learning psychology or science instead. Or you could become an expert in politics and later wish you had focused on your health..relationships or creativity. Every choice closes the door on thousands of other possibilities and there is no way to know for certain whether you picked the best one. The same thing happens in everyday life. Right now you could go to the gym..meditate..read a book.. watch a documentary..improve your English or any language..call a friend.. work on a project..hit on some girls …etc .There are countless ways to spend the next hour and every option has a good argument behind it. The difficult part is that there is no perfect formula for deciding what you should do. What seems like the best choice depends on what you value. Do you want happiness? Knowledge? Success? Peace of mind? Health? Wisdom? Even the way you decide what’s important depends on beliefs that could always be questioned. This can leave you feeling confused an and uncertainor even depressed. It can seem like no matter what you choose you’re missing out on something else. But maybe the point isn’t to find the one perfect path. Maybe the reason life feels so overwhelming is because reality offers more than any one person could ever experience. No matter what you choose there will always be other interesting paths you never get to explore. Once you understand that the pressure begins to ease. The confusion doesn’t disappear but you stop expecting yourself to figure everything out. You accept that no one can experience everything or learn everything or make the perfect decision every time. All you can do is choose a direction ..knowing that countless other possibilities will always exist .and that’s simply part of being alive.

It doesn’t matter where you will go after you die . What matters is what you are doing in your life now . Because what you are doing with your life now Is going to determine where will you go after death . If you are scared of death ..then you should practice how to die before your actual death . When you are actually dying there is nothing you can do about it unless You’ve been practicing for your whole life how to prepare yourself for death. For most people when they are dying there is nothing they can do. They will be completely defeated and overtaken by fear and pain such that the ego will be annihilated completely..not a conscious surrender… but the ego will be forced to surrender. this is why there are a lot of mythology and stories about the soul leaving the body during death through the throat . If you lived unconsciously in this life and without surrendering your ego while alive ..then your soul/ego will cling into another body and you will find yourself reincarnated into another body ..that’s the eastern mythology . In western mythology you will incarnate into a hell realm . Both are not true literally. They just describe that the soul’s fate after death depends upon what you do in this life . -

AI is part of reality . AI is inside of reality ..so it cannot wrap itself around reality fully . It’s not a problem of lack of intellectual capacity and just raw information. It’s a fundamental metaphysical trade off for reality being infinity ..the nature of infinity is such that you will never “solve “ infinity ..whatever the hell that means . It can solve relative problems regarding economics..education..health ..science..etc but if you are targeting a model of explaining all of existence ontologicallay then forget about it . also regarding consciousness..no AI can never become conscious . Because consciousness is not perception. The current scientific model of consciousness is that consciousness is a byproduct of brain activity Or physical process except science have no idea how does that work even in theory . How could a fundamental unconscious matter give rise to a self aware mind? It’s unreasonable and unresolvable because the whole paradigm is founded upon a faulty assumption. -
He was playing 10 vs 11 in the extended two half’s . He had no choice but to defend.

Argentina tried to be tough but man there was no level to the match whatsoever . The stats speak for themselves.the Spanish players have way better quality than Argentina players. This is why I thought in the past that Messi should’ve retired from international football right after the World Cup 2022 so that the last scene would be of winning instead of losing .
-
Yup . Longest World Cup ever it’s a fact .
-
I wasn’t necessarily insulting you . I was being cheeky . Trying to mimick him . Take it lightly.
-
It wasn’t boring . Spain played very well Tiki-Taka. And the last minutes were full of suspense.
-
@LordFall He’s saying you are a brain dead retard who learned good mathematics.
-
I hope Messi wins . He deserves a second World Cup and a ninth golden ball. Go GOAT.
-
For some reason I missed the match lol I thought it would be boring and I was looking forward for the final
-
You know very well that this doesn’t apply to a World Cup final. It’s not like Spain is going to thrash Argentina 5-0 or something lol . It’s Gonna be a clash back and forth from both sides. But yes Spain has higher odds of winning .

It’s no different. The absolute self is omnipresent. So it’s everything. -

it applies to everyone else of course. The most accurate position possible is to say there are no separate selves at all . Neither a separate me nor a separate you . All there is is this. In this actuality there is actually no "you" and no "other". If you try to pin point where or what exactly is" you" in direct experience and what is or where exactly is "other" you will fail miserably. Because this boundary is completely imaginary. It's all one thing. There is no you right here perceiving a world out there. It's all here. Here is there. You is the world. So what you call other people are literally you. The entire actuality of what's showing up in consciousness right now is you. Not just what you are identified with as your body. The entire field of consciousness is you. From this place there is neither you nor a world as two separate things. There is only what is. And what is.. Is one unbroken actuality with no divisions. If you lose that awareness of clarity and revert back to thinking that I am me right here looking at the world out there.. Then a question might arise about the nature of the relationship between me and the world.. Am I projecting the world? Imagining it like a dream that has no reality outside my own experience? Or is it just there and I m merely perceiving it..?. But the whole question is based on a false sense of self that is separate from the whole. People on this forum don’t think of it from this angle . They think I’m a separate human and others are separate humans ..so am I the only separate human who has consciousness? -

I meant to say when we are discussing whether others are conscious and having inner experience or not we usually don’t consider that we ourselves are empty inside or that consciousness isn’t a property that belongs to a separate self .
