did you like it? i need to check that out soon then.

Yea i'm sorry for you, that sounds very bad. I'm so glad in my country we're allowed to leave the house whenever we want, i'm in nature a lot during this pandemic. If the state forbids people to leave the house etc. then i can see how people go crazy and come up with all sorts of conspiracy theories. I think your government is also at fault here. all you can do is until london.

i think it's jogging time again guys I'll look into some joint and knee supps too, i found some but most are fortified with some vitamins which i don't need.

I'm going jogging right about now. Ordered some good jogging shoes during the pandemic when fitness centers etc. closed and i'm usually going to the forrest which is about 5 mins from where i live. There are also some pull up bars, which is nice. Feels great to break a sweat sometimes. Especially in these computer centric times.

Instead of just posting a video, why don't you tell us something about it? I like fasting btw.

well if it's 90% of people then you can't really avoid them or try to convince them of anything else. maybe just try to practice awareness and patience and find online forums etc. such as this to talk about the real issues or if you can't do it because it's driving you insane try to move to another more progressive city/neighbourhood or country.

Here from the Sadhguru topic In what way can it lessen consciousness? Is it a long-term thing? What happens when people respond negatively to that specific substance? Could people who have experienced such things or Leo elaborate a bit on that? Seems to be pretty important.

Obviously it's very complicated, tense and it's a tough place to keep secure etc. It's also an interesting country to visit.

They also do a lot of "bad" stuff though and things which go against "peace". Watch some documentaries.

In the end nothing is called anything. We just gave different emotions names or made sounds with our mouths to describe them somehow. If you had that positive constant feedback as a child then you might not need if you're a grown up. If you come from some kind of "broken home" etc. you might actually need some of that social feedback and there might be value to it. Even famous people etc. a lot of them became successful because they seek some kind of validation. And if you just focus on spirituality being aware etc. might also not be the best idea all the time if you have some deficits. Or do you know some kind of good techniques to get over needing positive social feedback? In the end there is no feeling called coolness. But there is also no word for the short confidence/dopamine boost which i described i think. Other people might define feeling cool differently. I get your point about the assessment of the situation and the feeling not totally coming from the inside. The problem here is also "shame" on the opposite side of the spectrum imo. Because the same way i might feel cool if girls turn their head or people laugh at jokes, i might feel shame if i assess another situation differently. So it's not really a winning game anyways. If i value peoples opinions (which i do at the moment) then i value the positive and the negative ones. Thanks for writing such an elaborate post.

It's very hard to even define. Coolness is probably also defined different in different cultures, countries, times etc. The feeling that i define as "cool" is probably a combination of different feelings and has something to do with dopamine etc. For example let's say you walk down the street and some girls look at you or let's say they even turn their head and look and make it obvious they look at you think you're interesting etc. whatever. Now the feeling that you get from that with the dopamine etc. i might define it as feeling cool while you might define it as "desired" or something. Or when you say something funny and everybody laughs, i might define the feeling as cool while you might define it as something else. I'd probably define it as some kind of confidence boost for a while which then makes you feel "freer" more in a flow state etc. But maybe if i'd really think about it i'd come up with something else.

good question and some interesting answers i'll look into it too

watched it after i posted that, pretty funny david pakman plays the straight man pretty damn well but my thoughts on jesse are: he's just a rambling, old-ish dude, has a young team around him who set everything for him up, studio etc. (mostly white kids) put a battery in his back and they make a looot of money selling stupid t-shirts and mugs to republicans, trumpists and people who are fed up with the left, sjw etc. while using dumb catchphrases like "amazin" and "beta" seems like their business strategy is working out great

Work at a nursing home or something like that as a volunteer etc. You'll probably see many old people go. I used to work in an office of a retirement/nursing home for a while (not as a volunteer) and i'm thinking about doing even a lot more work in that "health" sector Death is usually kind of blocked out of sight in our society

he's a troll if you feed him, that's on you

for example you know how some people walk "cooler" than others then that walk makes them feel even "cooler" i mean "cool" might be a weird specific kind of of a feeling etc. maybe it's also a culmination of other feelings

Depends. i've been bullied as a kid by a bigger kid for months once. nobody helped me no teacher no parent no siblings. so one day i beat that bully up when i was about 10 or 11 y o. And that did feel good, also that bully left me alone after that. But as a grown up you should find other ways than "revenge"

yikes bitcoin/crypto broke my heart in 2017 when that bull run happened

I'm not necessarily meaning worse. I just "fear" many people won't hold him accountable for the "bad" stuff because of the Trauma of Trump "Oh well at least he ain't Trump" The fear might be unsubstantiated though because many on the left have been pretty tough and critical on him.

What system are you looking into and how much is it going to cost?

That's maybe true. But imo it could have been even a lot worse, he could have started some big war(s) etc. Biden was for the Iraq war i think and he threw tons of people in jail for small amount of drugs. Just because one of them is "bad" doesn't make the other one "good" He seems like a nice grandpa though Video about Biden "Appeasing the right" Video on how Biden "fueled mass incarceration" I mean i guess at the time the second video came out, it was Biden vs Bernie so Democracy now was taking sides, but it's all fair points imo I'm not saying he will be a bad/horrible president btw, we'll see how it goes, there are many good things about him too.

I generally don't agree with that analysis What are your thoughts on Biden in the past?

If you see that they try to cancel somebody who doesn't deserve it, try to speak up If someone deserves it, that's fine I don't think the climate of fear of being cancelled for saying the wrong thing is productive to discuss and come up with solutions to complicated issues that society faces and if they go at science that's just mostly silly and problematic. (even though leo goes at science too ) I've read somewhere that cancel culture is another issue which is magnified by algorithms just like conspiracy theories, division etc.

It seems like the masses have a very simplistic world view and that makes it very dangerous. This is wrong this is right. I'm right/left. This is evil, this is good. Now simplicity in itself is not a bad thing, living a simple life etc. But it seems like this type of thinking is perfect for conflict, can be easily used/misused by populists, media, the army, religions, extremists etc. How can we get away from that and how do you deal with people who're stuck in such a type of thinking? Do you try to talk to them on their level of simplicity or do you try to explain to them the nuances of subjects etc.

if you're not lactose intolerant and don't have any other problems digesting milk or milk sensitivities and you buy good organic dairy products, then i think it's a good source. maybe not daily though
