David Goggins definitely has a lot of great qualities. He works very hard; sometimes maybe too much. He, while I love his persona and work ethic, sometimes concerns me with how he pushes his body - to the breaking point - past the breaking point. But, honestly, he’s really just hurting himself. From what I’ve seen he is a pretty good dude.

@BlueOak Certainly, yes, there’s a fear of the unknown here. Also, yes, with bickering/debating/idea sharing. I bicker with my Dad too, sounds similar. Also my mom and sister. Less and less though. It kind of ties into what @Terell Kirby was saying about being tempted to judge. I do not know how to integrate my new perspectives yet. I come across as rude or trying to get a point across. I do not put out the discipline required to be grounded in my thoughts while be empathetic to others. It’s to the point where I used to think like someone but still not take the time to put myself back into their shoes. I’m selfish and I like my alone time. I am bad at letting people have space, be their self. When I’m alone, I love everyone for who they are. Good and bad. But in the moment, with them, my reflexes bring me back to argumentation. There’s a lot of work to be done yet. I liked all of your responses though. Trying to have fun with this. Think I might need to move to a more populated area lol

Hello All, I know that this topic has been mentioned before but it is something I have recently come back too. Essentially, I do not know how to view people. Or perhaps I do not know how to stop viewing people. I used to be quite social but for years now I have been in this rabbit hole of solitude, for better or worse. On one hand it feels although I could just go back to the partying, flirting, fucking, small talk, social stuff, etc. I’m not too ugly, decent talker, certainly not the worst or anything. But on the other hand - my lack of socializing for the past couple of years has brought up some karma from my family and past socializing that is making me doubt myself. Nothing I can not work through but I’m like, shit, maybe I should reach out and see if anyone has some tips. It’s the karma and doubt but also confusion in integrating things like ‘everyone is imagined.’ Honestly, it has helped me socially, to recognize we are all One but when it is framed as ‘we’re all imagined’ idk what to do. Thats a big responsibility and I find myself wondering ‘how do I properly imagine people’ ‘how to I not distort and fantasize relationships’ ‘how do I not bicker with people like I grew up doing.’ Y'all get the gist. And I know acceptance of solitude is a big part of this. Just being comfortable being alone. Which I have gotten much better at and plan on continuing working on but also I’d like to be social again, in this dream. ps I love you

@Ulax fantastic advice, much thanks

You can be enlightened at any stage; or not.

Yes, correct. The Colors build upon another.

@Carl-Richard yeah struggling with the trajectory of growth. Been face slapped by a lot of awakenings and honestly kinda paranoid from that + weed. I have a lot of trauma to burn through. Stuff that didn’t have to be my problem but is not to be ignored how it has been. Family shit, etc.

@Carl-Richard yeah, thats where I’m at. not all of it but most. Feels horrible

@Carl-Richard What do you mean, ‘mind deleted from it.’ I am i daily user, struggling to love myself, and think I may be experiencing this delete thing. what’d you mean?

@Carl-Richard Ironically that’s what I was thinking. Because I see it as somewhat of a shit post so I’m here wondering why y’all are digging into it so much. But, I could be wrong, maybe it’s not a shit post. Either way, I think we agree there’s still a lot of issues with someone of his influence posting something so dumb and powerful to the weak minded. I do have a hard time accepting the weak minded though. I am naive.

Perhaps we see different motives for the post. After further reflection though, I definitely see the problems with the post. I should also say I think the ideology of the chart is dumb, obviously. Perhaps I didn’t consider the extent of how easily others may believe the chart. I look at it and think no more than ‘lol that’s dumb.’ I have a hard time accepting many might look at it and think ‘Yeah! Truth.’ ew that’s a hard pill to swallow

@Carl-Richard Also, yes I know he knows what shit posting is; I have heard him talk about it many times actually. From multiple angles from ‘ghost and post,’ to just acknowledging trollers, to Russian trolls, etc. Can not speak for him, he isn’t my daddy or anything, but I think he has an idea of it.

@Carl-Richard Aren’t boomer up until 1964? Not to get technical, but it seems although these arguments are rooted in something other than Truth. Much less logic and reason. So far it has been ‘do not under estimate his stupidity’ and some generational generalizations. Im not being unfair. I’d love so much to see what’s wrong with this post of his - other than the fact it can be misinterpreted. That I see, but I’m not seeing this ‘dumb ape boomer man deliberately brainwash.’ But I’m open to it. Edit: ‘dumb ape boomer man deliberately brainwash.’ - also, not saying anyone here said anything like this; just the vibe I am getting.

@hoodrow trillson How do you know he did not post it ironically? What’s funny? I agree though, do not like his comedy at all. However, that may even make it more evident that this is a bad joke; not deliberate endorsement.

@Danioover9000 I agree with you. To me, this is an obvious shit post. Now if people want to talk about the consequences of shit posting, I’m all ears. But for anyone taking this as Rogan’s true opinions - I think you’re missing something. Or maybe I am, so enlighten me. But enough of these weak arguments.

@Opo Your argument is weak and hostile.

I guess I should be clear. If the outrage from this post of Rogans is in regard to the fact that many people may take it seriously and right wingers may take a liking to Rogan etc. etc. I see the problem. I can easily see how that would happen and how he could brainwash people. so honestly yeah there is a problem here. nonetheless I do not think that Rogan himself believes such nonsense in that chart.

@Danioover9000 Pretty sure it is just a joke. You’d have to be extremely dumb to genuinely think that chart is accurate. I don’t think Rogan is Jesus or anything - but really guys? Have you guys listened to him speak at all? He isn’t a pile of bricks. He is way more liberal than conservative. It’s honestly hilarious seeing all of your reactions to this. Duh, that’s the point. Rogan is constantly talking about how you need long format discussions, how he isn’t an intellectual - among other things that clearly display this as a joke. I genuinely don’t know how you guys are perceiving this this way.

When I see this, from a comedian, I think ‘joke.’ He caters to the right, likes guns, isn’t the brightest, sure - but I think I am missing something. Do you guys think this was a joke or serious post of his? Or do you guys think it doesn’t matter, if it’s a joke or not, it’s still doing damage to dumb dumbs who believe it? Because I think I’m missing the criticism for Rohan there seems to be on the forum.

Technically, I do not think that pleasure is the most important pursuit - but I certainly do not act that way. I am addicted to weed, porn, thinking, video games, etc. I like pleasure, duh, and I began using it in a stage orange sort of freedom way to cope with some first world problems that, while pretty much all I got, admittedly, are kind of stupid and petty. I realized that pretty much the opposite path is better than where I’m going. It’d be much better to do ice baths, workout again, push myself, etc. Itd be much better in the long haul to make myself uncomfortable, rather smothered. The good news is I have been attempting to start working out again and that feels great. Overall I did stop buying as much sugar and eating better but I have been falling back as I have been stressed recently. Oh, and I have been taking more cold showers. Just a minute or two tho - I like my hedonistic hot showers. But that’s the good news. Nonetheless I’ve been slipping and going backwards as I struggle to manage stress and what worries me. Idk, I think I’m just typing this in hopes of some pleasurable responses. Hoping someone has some good tips how to be less hedonistic when really the answer has always been here. I must suffer to manipulate reality further, if I wish for the consequential numbness to recede from my pleasure seeking behaviors. Idk the weed fucks with my head, I never know if I’m making sense. Any of y’all used to smoke a ton of weed, play games and touch yourself until you woke up and starting working towards something bigger / any tips on how that went? Cause I’m sick of being a numb loser who geeks about infinity and ideas of what there could be instead of what there is.

I don’t know, yet

@Flowerfaeiry Yeah that’s exactly what it is. Idk why my childhood would make me underachieve, that part I do not get. But I am certain you are right

‘You’d wish that none of your wishes came true.’

Long story short my Dad is becoming increasingly suicidal. He has been through a lot. Lost his mom, lost his career, lost his wife and his house to her and some other bad dreams. He is OCD, ADHD, Depressed, Diabetic (doesn’t take his meds apparently) - and while he still seems decent physically - he is 54 and he has been having to work a hard sheetmetal job because he’s to proud to settle - plus he has debt and it pays well. but you get it, it’s bad. Some of it his fault, a lot of it not. I love the guy. He keeps asking why we want him to keep living and suffer when he could die. He hates himself and doesn’t think he will ever deserve anything. He also has been having to take care of his girlfriend who had a stroke and needs full time care essentially. It’s bad. I know that’s just a dream. I know I will be okay. He hasn’t killed himself, he says also that he’s too afraid to kill himself or that he won’t. It will be alright, I say. But, also, I’m not sure what to do. Cops? Hospital suicide watch? Fuck up his insurance, ability to work? Also he’d probably just be put on more meds anyways. Meds can just suck more when it come to mental health. Do I move in with him (I live with my mom) and help him? His house is cramped and he smokes though. IDK, I could rant for ever. Its fucking with me though. I know it’s all love, even if he kills himself and I’m afraid of that. Or at least there’s fear. And part of me is confident that he won’t do anything and he won’t have to be sent somewhere, but I don’t know what to do. I have made myself weak. This feels like a game; I’m confused.

Proud of you, fuck’em
