  1. A lot of ways of interpreting this issue. Which one is true? That's on you to judge. For example another way is that if you were a hardcore religious person for a lot of years, that has settled thick roots already, and they never really vanish. You may never be able to fully grow out of it.
  2. Hard to say. There are things that not even dementia erases, like riding a bicicle. While others get forgotten quickly. I see that as a really weird feature of the brain. You can notice that survival is the mastermind here, it runs unconsciously to keep you alive. It will be bias to what serves survival and discard what doesn't serves that purpose. "Going back" to religion is part of a survival tactic. If we're speaking inside the personal development plane, it is easy to lose progress of something not integrated fully.
  3. This is also where I resonate with Leo's criticism of capitalism. Why does a tech oligarch gains more than a healthcare worker who saves dozens of people's lives? Doctors do gain a lot compared to other professions, that is true. But the cost is insane workload and a psychological price. This is where capitalism is limping because the market doesn't necesarily take the most high standard, healthy, and concsious of decisions.
  4. Fall in love with consistency. Figure out how, it's possible.
  5. Thanks. Overall it is hard to wrap my head around it. Phisicality of objects is the ultimate trick. If I were to understand it it would be for my own amusement.
  6. LMAO. I guess you're going through a "shitty" phase
  7. In reality everyone is different. I get addicted so easily to it so I gotta watch out.
  8. I don't understand yet how physics is imagination. But I can say that the quality of my life depends exclusively on how deep is my imagination. To me imagination is identical to happiness. I was happier as a kid not because I hade lots of money, but because I had just more imagination.
  9. Interesting, did you stop for that reason? I am aware of that. Although through medicine history we've found ingenious ways to solve a myriad of health issues, we've barely scratched the surface. The hard thing to tame is not necesarily external agents but the body itself. The body is a perfect system with almost infinite ways that it self-regulates. But with enough vision we will understand a lot more. Lack of knoglede has always been a temporary obstacle, as shown throughout history. But again, it is not wise to underestimate how seamengly unrelated things impacts healthcare integrity. We need to have holistic lenses. You need to be aware how your country's affairs impact the health system of it too. Not only the current state of medicine in terms of the discipline.
  10. $100 usd worth of responses sometimes.
  11. But is it a belief? Or certain knowledge? Something to contemplate... Muahaha
  12. Raising baseline takes decades of constant work. I am a believer of it.
  13. It depends on the lens. I can argue that we are really good at medicine and it's true under some pragmatic criteria. Yet we peobably only know like 1% about animal cells. I think any good doctor should be able to tell you that. But again, you're failing to see the crap that goes on in hospitals. Who to blame? I won't decide that. But it is a dirty job.
  14. There are real limitations, that is real. And it is necesary to remark that the profession puts extreme pression for the doctors. It is not a joke to have another's life on your hands. But I think most problems in health system just come from bureaucracy and bad politics. The modus operandis of medic appointments are very outdated. I don't even want to imagine the negligence and corruption that has happened and continues to happen in some hospitals. Is easy to be blind to that.
  15. Oh of course. Overworking is like 90% of problems across any workplace and profession. It is baked in the health system. I don't know why, I would have to study the history of it to know how it got to that point. But it is just so typical of doctors and nurses. Even the way they write is coopted with artificial rush. The only way to reform this kind of things is through laws is my assesment.
  16. Wait till you experience abstinence. P.S: coffee is not really unhealthy, plus has antioxidants etc, etc. But it is addictive and will make you act like so.
  17. Going off caffeine as a daily user you will be depressed for days. If you want to know what depression is, go off caffeine.
  18. That would be like super-human. You would literally trip on caffeine. I've been off for 1 week and 30mg present in a tea feels amazing. A helluva drug.
  19. Imagine a religious person coming up with coffee products, that's what these coffee cups and sayings are: This is the correct cup : Looking for these pics I am coming to realize that conformity is just a particular consciousness state. More or less dense depending on the psychological makeup of the person I guess. This is a perfect example of conformity justifying an addiction. And conformity is an addictive state in and of itself. What makes caffeine so addictive is that it raises your conscioussness a bit. Just like hard drugs. You can potentially use it consciously and in moderation. But getting to the point of not funcitoning before having your coffee you're doing something wrong.
  20. The model isn't even for individuals. You can act and think like a chimp, but if you enter a higher stage society you will move upward by osmosis. Fun fact, I live in a mostly blue society.
  21. Don't dismiss professional advice so easily... Sometimes the pros of medication outweight the cons if you're in a really bad position. It will help you to think better desitions in a position without the constant pulling of your psychological problems. Then stoping medications with the needed help is part of the process.
  22. Hard to say how my transitions looked like. That's a good question. I am going through a more orange phase for sure. Valuing hard work to the cost of added stress. On the other hand watching some actualized.org episodes requires you to be yellow or above. Not necessarily, but the way I integrate them then yes. Also I didn't really transcended red, I just spend less time on red moments and move on. I enjoy watching some metal singer make those growls screams or an action anime. I am enjoying Full Metal Alchemist for example.
  23. But also $30,000 in 30 years is gonna value less than $30,000 today.
  24. "Ontologically, evil IS low Consciousness." That definition is crucial. It explains evil and how to remedy it. Also very paradoxically, lashing out on evil is a form of low Consciousness, hence a form of evil. Also good definition because the word evil is misused everywhere and not understood properly.
