For sure, my statement was about how perception influences how we view the reality of the situation. I didn't state men cannot feel weak or just as unsafe. Merely that it is more commonly a preoccupation women have (and are especially vocal about, becuase it is acceptable. Less acceptable for men to express) 💪

It's definitely about the perception of safety and fear for women. Being inherently weaker (despite the insistence of some). Men face more violence.

Holy fuck, I was going to say 'What happens when you scale a doorstop?' to make a similar point ... Fuck. CARL!

🧨 The ultimate feedback system.

I had a huge life crashout many, many years ago. Kicked out. Homeless. Flunked uni. No job. I've turned it all around. You can do this my man - this great test is teaching you more about yourself than others who have never been down to the depths. When you make it out, you'll be wiser and stronger than almost everyone. Keep us updated !!

Are you saying how nuclear energy works is smarter/more intelligent, than a human? This seems like a category/domain error. You are comparing a physical process to the human mind?????

I do this - but replace the sugar loading with hard cardio. If I need to focus on a big tender submission intensely for a 2-3hr bout, I do high resistance sprinting on a spin bike for intervals. 30 minutes. Then work. Repeat as needed. Whole eggs, potatoes and some salt in between. The cardio enhances my focus, information retention, and problem solving better than straight carbs (which make me feel sluggish unless I get the amount just right)

@Mellowmarsh do you think online interaction is actual, genuine connection?

Getting to such an extreme point of 'renouncing' sounds like cope to deal with internal frustration. So you can release desire. You don't need renounce anything to let go of painful desires.

Worse than slop. I actually think it's just what chatGPT pulls up when you ask about the forum... With some... Prompting 🫠

Yeah, but there is something wrong when someone doesn't pay attention to the person in front of them, to be focused on the 'global' connection on the phone that technology facilitates. I am not denying there are upsides - but there are negatives in addition to benefits. I think @Schizophonia is pointing toward a severe downside to technology; it can prevent us paying attention to the immediacy of the moment. Our minds always on what 'could be' always 'seeking' and 'desiring'. Yes, this is inherent to us as humans. This need should be inspected because desire is a cause of suffering. But technology acts to amplify the good - and the bad. When does the capacity to transcend the present become an inability to inhabit it? I think this is the more pertinent question the OP is pointing toward.

Oh! I am just laughing at the boys of the forum getting all excited about witnessing chemistry in action You and Schizophonia just have that curious sort of dancing/play energy in your interactions. Similar to the weirdness between Carl & I. It doesn't always have to be, or mean, there is any sexual charge (it certainly can mean that, though). Play is just one of those things that pops up when you rub brains with certain people

Higher consciousness forum - still a kids playground. GIRLS HAVE COOTIES DON'T CHU KNOW

@Rigel oh, he gets shit on hard online. Feral stuff. Immature people lack nuance - they see one thing they don't like and the whole lot is in the bin. I don't mind Bryan but the basic stuff of his message - the pillars - arent any different to any other longevity / health / doctor influencer. It's the actual wild experiments he does that get all the attention. Thats his narrative and PR draw.
