  1. That's the beauty of traveling right there, it is like visiting a zoo. I just traveled outside once to Sicily and the contrast is interesting, to say the least. But really after the video I was suddenly picking conformity everywhere, and I still am. Mostly on myself, is like I catch myself more easily. And also I think you can derive some meaning conforming to the right things. Just like the example of NASA, there may be a spark of creativity in a group which is something I value a lot. That's why you always need to be more conscious than the rest.
  2. Nah, that's high school stuff... I bet the video will cover how rationality actually prevents deep thoughts
  3. Nothing bad about it, except it doesn't help animals . Something as simple as building cat corridors for houses can be a life purpose. You're enhancing their otherwise depressing lives inside apartments.
  4. I am sure he wrote a satire here.
  5. To be honest, conforming to neuroscience will make you appreciate neural plasticity, which can make you less rigid.
  6. @tuku747 lol, there you have it, hell sending signals
  7. You're intelligent because you're creating mediocrity. Still not satisfied? The fact that I say something and it impacts you that is intelligence in action, the same way fungus bellow earth impacts life on the surface, that's also intelligence. How can you miss this? For example by being religious, aka letting your mind rot.
  8. @UnbornTao Basically I am saying you can study hell the same way you can study the space, probably. Who wants to? Idk
  9. If you study the space you're an astrophysicist, so if you study hell are you a psychiatrist?
  10. Well it depends on what you call bullshit. I've seen enough videos of people getting killed (murder and suicide) and I have to spend some hours afterwards in shock processing their dumbness. But at the end you laugh at the stupidity. You can hurt others, it is your own choice.
  11. @Carl-Richard Do you mean particular things like a drug or things like that? Or more general situations? A good family will determine a better quality of thoughts.
  12. Right, but there are levels of self deception and there are moments when you're less self deceived. Like if you say something, but it's wrong, and you cannot see it's wrong and you keep defending it, then that's self deception, right? But there must be times when you're actually correct and not deceiveng yourself, otherwise deception wouldn't even exist to begin with.
  13. How do you know you're always self-deceived? Like, at what point you're not then...? Some people are more self deceived than others, that's for sure. But what does that even mean, lol
  14. This question should be asked in high-school
  15. You personally need to do introspection and find some intrinsic motivation. Some of the things you say are wrong, but it will only become clear for you if you introspect.
  16. It seems that your politicians have had good trips with 5 meo...
  17. I can't wait for when dmt gets popular and they sell it in shoppings, with reliable dosage shots so you don't waste time with this
  18. He seems to be a good psychiatrist, which is an intense job, so I respect him. But yeah, he failed to see how what Sadhguru was saying connects with his field. A very pragmatic talk nonetheless.
  19. Corruption occurs when you go so low that you completely loose track on what you do and why, and you become an overeactive mother fucker, unable to think properly and infecting every area of your life. The antidote is self reflection and avoid getting involved with corrupted people. Ethics is a relative thing, but the human psyche is more or less a universal thing highly dependent on the system it is part of, which can result in more or less stable minds across the board. A corrupt place will create less stable minds, which ends up causing more suffering, violence, lying, stealing and so surviving becomes even harder. Coca-cola is a multibillion dolar business that causes great harm because the food they sell creates sickness and a less stable mind. If you correct that then you're tackling the problem of corruption. I mean, you don't need to actually change Coca-Cola yourself, but you should avoid creating a company like Coca-Cola. There are businesses that causes harm and others that don't, plain and simple. To live you can't avoid being selfish, but you can live masterfully or like a complete dumb. For example, a good way of making a living could be selling books that educates people.
  20. So I watched like 30mins. First impressions, Dr K. seemed very unauthentic, he said he agreed with everything but he was clearly skeptical and couldn't follow up on some things that Sadhguru said. I would have liked if he instead showed some of his own cognitive dissonance, because he was giving very little ground to an honest conversation too. Sadhguru also avoided that fact and didn't try to understand where Dr K. was coming from. I also get annoyed with people like dr K, but I think I can manage it way better than Sadhguru. For example, at one point Sadhguru talks about the "memory of your cells" being more powerful than you. Clearly Dr K didn't buy into it despite having lots of truths. And so he was very little reciprocal.
