I think is more than just a choice. Social validation is a psychological thing. Extreme embarrassment for erros in public, building a seductive character. All of that is a necessary step for your development, it is not a bug. Because you are learning how to smoothly operate within your mind. But after that it gets meaningless. Once that is calibrated then you can pursue higher things like integrity and following your own values. And yes, people do sacrifice integrity and critic thinking for social pressure.

Make mistakes, get enlightened

A pedophile doesn't necessarily sexually abuse kids. But raping children truly must be one of the worst things imaginable.

This reminds me that I live in a bubble. I am curious now and would like to get to know a true pedophile, that's the only way I could truly empathize with him (or her) and to understand more about it. I am glad I don't want to fuck kids.

You'll naturally draw the connections from Actualized.org's episodes. I was watching Stolen Youth and I wonder how that dynamic is present at a macro level in the whole society. Mind blowing stuff.

You need to have such a leader masculine mindset to be a cop and ignore all bs from the detained suspects and follow the correct actions. Like god-level anti-gaslighting skills.

You could help pedophiles offering guidance as a life purpose, nothing is stopping you... It may suit you. But you ain't fooling people that raping children is ok.

Nice, just saying. There are tons of weird sleep cycles found in living beings. Some aquatic animals rest one brain hemisphere at a time while the other is active for survival.

Right. People don't understand this is as practical as it gets.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/two-sleeps Be careful with overestimating the two-sleeps as the best option. I would rather sleep uninterrupted. Test it for yourself comparing when do you feel best when you wake up the next day. I have noticed that when I eat too many carbs as a last meal (big spike in blood sugar) I tend to have that "watch" window at night. But if I eat a salad as last meal I will just have a sound uninterrupted sleep (edit: tested again and woke up for 30mins middle night, so I don't know) — also considering other disruptors like caffeine and eating window. And this also corresponds to the diet in most of recent human history — lots of grains, bread, rice, beer. But the disruption of melatonin because of light is very real and you can test it immediately. This it just my theory and experience in trying to enhance sleep.

It's ok, I was not attacking you. I like earth too.

It is materialism underneath. Trust me it is very sneaky. And consciousness being fundamental means that the Universe is conscious and alive, which you deny. But to see that you need to realize the illusion of the human mind. Only if you want to. But it is an illusion, I'm sorry.

You are precisely operating under the materialist paradigm. You job is to go meta and see that. And to be more open to some of the claims made here which are more true than your paradigm. You need to avoid being stuck in your paradigm and being open to not knowing.

But it is.

The person that cracks the code to happiness has won the lottery. And the collective follows. There is no alternative.

Do you mean "great" results? Mediocre means bad or below desirable.

I agree with you. Social validation is just a toxic cope for lack of meaningful connection. And you can't escape group dynamics. Maybe he tried to say "you'll always crave social connection" which makes more sense, but is it true?

I've been regulating light at evening for a year now and it feels quite sacred. Also that's where I enjoy the most watching Actualized.org videos. I get to ponder every sentence unlike at daytime. As if I was around a campfire wondering about the world. Society definitely behaves like ignorant rats with all this technology.

Or similar: Thinking that Catholic Mass strengthens your connection to God.

Right. Dark mode extension for browsers.

Focusing and narrowing your attention to one specific (main) activity is the only viable thing and I highly recommend doing that. The amount of consistency and effort that requires to progress just a bit at a specific skill leaves no room for jumping from thing to thing. What you want to avoid is to give up a practice for another one before you attain the necessary breakthroughs in it. Obviously most people lie to themselves and make excuses unconsciously for why it is really not a problem. But eventually you realize otherwise. It might be necessary to explore different things for max 2 years. But after that you're just wasting time and you're shooting yourself in the foot. This took me some time to grasp.

That girl needs to travel to India for a week.

They even have police.

The thing with cop corruption in particular parts of the world is that if you aren't corrupt you get killed. https://www.instagram.com/p/DT_LgSTjjfM/ This is not police cam but shows a policeman in Mexico watching a felony in front of him and not acting.

Make a friend at the gym and start going to bars with him. Patience and consistency.
