Death_

I believe most of the things that we think aren't actually the things that we want to think rather most of them are coming from what we consume from the internet or from the conversations of people surrounding us. Am I wrong as this is just an assumption? Can people even go on living without any thoughts? Aren't thoughts necessary for making a civilization running and from going extinct? So why are there so much demonization against thought but why does it feel so tranquil to just be still. Sorry I think I have gone out of my topic.

@Judy2 Thank you for your amazing explanation on the topic matter. I would definitely check out Sameness vs Difference. (WTH is up with the length of the video) @lostingenosmaze

Any devs here? I just came to realize that there happens to be no "Delete Account" button in this forum. How hard is it to add a feature to just remove an account from a website?

Until this basic issue is solved, it is truly hard to make people go through various dimensions of their own physiology.

Anyway, since @Nahm is dead for now. The things he posted were just super weird shit, he needs some break.

Two year back I heard Leo talk about the advantage of keeping an commonplace book. He also recommended to use Onenote 2010 as a primary software for keeping notes. I did that for two years but suddenly my Onenote 2010 software crashed which scared me for a while because I did took all my notes on it for the last two years. I bought the office 2016 suite and opened it but all the format was ruined and the hyperlinks had all became useless. I began to think from that point on if this again happens in the future what will I do? I thought and did some research on that for a while than I found a alternative software to Onenote which is free. The software's name is Obsidian.md ( Here is the official website. ) I did had a lot of pain on migrating to obsidian.md but it was all worth it. Why obsidian.md instead of Onenote? One of the top reason is that it is future proofed. It is future proofed because your notes are all plain text based which means that as long there are computers that can read plain text (markdown). It is free. Short and sweet. It has a amazing UI and the graph view is just mind blowing. Files are stored in your local file system which makes your personal data more secure. As Leo says to choose the software which has an powerful tag search. This software includes that too. No lock-in. It is future proofed. Even if somehow obsidian shutdown you are still able to read your notes because the notes can even be opened by a simple text editor like notepad. It has an interactive graph which shows what is linked in your notes. I can't explain it well you must see it for yourself. This could be an example :-(https://publish.obsidian.md/help/Plugins/Graph+view). But it is much more cool when you have thousands of notes like I have. I also came across personal knowledge management (PKM) which is an interesting topic while trying to learn it. If anyone of you is interested on migrating to obsidian than the following links might help you. This channel is good for beginners trying to use obsidian. The channels name is linking your thinking. He has a playlist for beginners which is really great to get started on it. There is Obsidian Help vault which will help you to know the app better. If you don't know where it is then it is on the bottom of the app. Making your own notes on obsidian will be better than copying that of others. Markdown is easy to learn but sometimes can be complicated if you don't get a hang of it. But I think looking at the obsidian help vault you may be able to learn it. It may be really hard to migrate to obsidian because it kind of lacks on it. Sometimes you must just bite the bullet you know. I had thousands of notes on my Onenote, I copied all my notes just by copying and pasting them in obsidian. If you haven't started keeping commonplace book, lucky for you, you might just start to keep it using obsidian. The only downfall is that it doesn't have an mobile app but I think no one will be using mobile for taking their notes I am still kind of a newbie in using this app but I hope this will help you in some sort of way. The channel that I just mention above was also my starting point hope it helps you. For some reason I have a feeling that Leo already knows about this app because he is just an amazing guy bring out various new concepts to our lives. If Leo is reading this than my life has been changed because of you especially because of the video called life advice for young people part 2. I actually realized from that video how much work and effort you were keeping to produce the Content of yours. I am sorry for any of my grammatical errors.

@Goldzilla Another deep topic. It also comes under 2FA and it is secure only if you use it only as a 2FA. If you are talking about the fingerprint scanner on your phone, it is not secure. There are methods to bypass it, so I would recommend you to use an alphanumeric password instead of it. I am not saying that there is no secure bio-metric, there might be, but they are not readily available to general public.

@Flint Even though it is open source, it has its own proprietary file system like .kdbx which cannot be opened by any other software other than keepass.

1. What is the best method to protect passwords, documents etc from people? The best way to protect encrypting files is by using software like veracrypt for local storage devices (HDD, USB, etc) or cryptomator for cloud based storage). For passwords --> Personally I used KeepassXC but after I found out that it is not that future proof, I migrated to pass which is a command-line based manager. KeepassXC has a nice and easy interface so if you are unfamiliar with command-line then i would recommend KeepassXC and I don't think it will go anywhere as the software is opensource. The sad truth is that passwords are just not that secure so be sure to use 2FA (2 factor authentication). WTF is that? Simply, it is an authentication system which after you enabled it in your facebook account (example) then you will need your password and a 6 or more digits code that will be sent to your 2FA software to login to it which makes it safe from hackers. But it is not totally safe as no software is safe as there will always be bugs or worm holes from which an hacker can come through. 2. How to best protect your privacy and information online? This one is hard. The thing is that you cannot really be private when you are online. Since you posted this post as well as the 2000 post you posted, gave out many information about you like this post, now I know that you are concerned about your privacy and if an AD algorithm comes to know about this than the ads of VPN and other kinds of privacy promising BS products will follow you every time you search. The first step to take is to stop using Google Services like Google Search Engine, youtube, android, etc. Google is evil, just read their privacy policy. All social medias like Facebook, pinterest, etc are evil. Use an private email provider instead of google such as protonmail which is end to end (E2E) encrypted. An alternative of youtube that I found is --> http://invidio.us/ The main site has closed down but you can still use it's clones (instance), I am not sure how it works but it embeds youtube videos which makes it more secure and private. And the most important thing, it is ad free which leads us to the next step. Step 2, download extensions like --> Ublock Origin (ad blocker, open source), https everywhere (https is never and better than http), decentraleyes, cookies autodelete (cookies can track you LOL), and no script (java script is evil). Step 3, only use open source apps. Open source is a big deal as we can actually view the code but the thing is that we don't even need to view it as most apps are regularly checked by developers all around the world to find bugs to fix and to find if there are any vulnerabilities in the app. In desktop/laptop use Linux. Just give it a try, it has gotten better over the years that it has existed and it is no longer hard to install. You can even run it from usb, if you just want to try without having to install it. Step 4, use Tor. Tor is a good tool to anonymize yourself in the internet but there are many things that you need to keep in mind while using tor. An easy way to access it is through tor browser or TAILS which is an awesome operating system which directs your internet traffic through tor only. Tor is also often know as Dark Web or Deep Web as if there is some scary shit going on it but trust me there is not many scary shit that goes around in the dark web. Tor based services is mostly based on text as picture or video takes more bandwidth and the tor network is just too slow to handle it. Things to keep in mind while using tor:- Don't use your real name ever in tor. Don't use your real email address in tor as it can be used to link you. (This was one mistake that I did) Don't talk about it in real life to anyone even your own family. Be patient. It is slow but if you have Ethernet cable or a really good internet then it should be fine. VPN is optional. Step 5, If you can do all the steps listed above then you are pretty safe unlike the rest of the population but one can go down to this rabbit hole more deep even if you think you have reached the end there are new stuff that all keeps popping up like the Pegasus (spyware company) that just popped out of nowhere but I recommend not to do so as one may go crazy. The last thing that I want to say is that you aren't really safe, to tell the truth nobody really is "safe". Internet is like a matrix, until and unless you are off the internet completely or you were just born in a cave and you have no access to the internet, you can be found by just a simple google search. Have you tried that? Just google yourself on the internet you will be amazed and I was also shocked when I googled myself. Check out Edward Snowden This was kinda rushed so sorry, if there are any grammatical errors. Still most of the ways haven't been covered in this post, you might do your own research too. Sad truth: You are not really free unless...

"A lair looking for forgiveness from a stone..." Really hit me

I sleep 5 hours to catch up with actualized.org and high school. But i have been sleeping a lot, about 8 hours, just to check this lucid dreaming stuff is real or not.

@Goldzilla Nah, you sure are imagining stuff. Have you felt for yourself, if not how do you know it is true.

@Raptorsin7 The end of the path feels like ... If I say, then everyone will start imagining all sorts of stuff, do your practices and discover it for yourself.

Check out this site --> https://philosopher.life/ Software: TiddlyWiki It is a note taking software in which notes stored in it are save in a single html file making it really portable. That site kind of caught my eye, so I am sharing with you all.

@RendHeaven Ok.

@Enlighten No man, the data is locally stored. The best part is that it is stored in plain text which makes it future proof too.

Creative title and I was looking at something thinking how come it is steel and brought a magnet towards "something" and confirmed it was not made out of steel.

There already is in the forum. Meta category in which only moderators and the admin can see. He mentioned that in his "what is going meta" video. His insights??? Do you mean the blueprint of actualized.org? --> https://www.actualized.org/blueprint Read some damn books and watch the cult psychology series.

@mememe Already posted way back. Anyway, everything is good about this app but the main difficulty for most people is the damn learning curve but it is worth it.

@kellyjo Excalidraw plugin maybe useful if you want to sketch.

Good Video for some motivation.

How about you go out somewhere solo for 10 day with all the basic stuff that you need to survive. Choose a place with:- With no internet, phone or any sort of digital devices. No human interaction. Just by yourself. Just be. It is kinda feel nice to disconnect but you may go crazy sometimes like you want to shout or something.

I have not taken the life purpose course but I think my greatest inspiration and motivation is myself. I have no other external people that I look up to, so I don't have to look down to people. I also think you all should be your own inspiration and motivation.

@StarStruck I guess keeping a pen and paper next to your bed would be a great idea to do.
