@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.

It's just so confusing and discombobulating! My 20s were hard. Didn't know who I was yet. What I wanted. Where I was going. My 30s have been a blast. All the confusion of the 20s gradually faded to just being okay with myself. And from there, acceptance. Then knowing I was on the right track. I can only impart that the older you get, the easier it becomes in some ways; purely because you know yourself and what you want a little better 💫

Ah! Poop. I'm good with desire and motivation advice wise. Indecisiveness not so much. Simply because I am extremely decisive. I recall in my 20s not knowing wtf I was doing, planning, or going. I just decided whatever I do do, in the now, I go hard 100% and give it my all. Even if I knew it wasn't forever. At least then I did something with full integrity I wouldn't regret. Whatever you pick, it's not the end or only path. Nothing is permanent. I went from managing retail stores until 34 years old. No skills. At 35 switched to construction and now I co-own a commercial construction business. Whole career switch. Sorry I don't have more advice! I suppose my leaving thoughts are 'you don't have to have it all worked out'

Is desire/impulse the issue - indecisiveness?

Which begs the question - because a LOT of procedures, time and money go into how he looks "at worst normal". Either he got shitcarded hardcore by genetics & super poor lifestyle... Or maybe prolonged vegan diet is aging him, and his cosmetic work is just offsetting that to appear normal. Instead of better than average. Long term vegans tend to always get a strange look to them, from my observations. Nothing against the lifestyle, they always just appear wanting. I am sure there are other possibilities for his appearance. But he dyes his hair, has lots of skin procedures (extensive laser), fat transfer to his face (facial rejuv), teeth done etc I think he is still in HRT as well - someone else can confirm. I know he used to be on test and didn't disclose it initially.

It's all good! I have to remind myself often, that my open questions can appear to carry doubt as a smuggled in meaning. You were right to lean on questions not being in good faith - it is sort of a condition on the forum. And society at large. Good faith discussions should be assumed - but this is an ideal. And we all know where ideals lead LOL But considering approximately 54% of American adults (aged 16 to 74) read below a 6th-grade level, with about 21% being functionally illiterate - most people are on the stupid spectrum, and it is a correct assessment. People are either stupid, or ignorant (or both). Which can lead to the same outcomes.

It sort of... amplifies the good AND the bad, in many cases.

My comment was made in good faith. I don't know who I am talking to or where they are at on the path - so no need to feel insulted. Just a broad line of enquiry I thought relevant - and not necessarily directed at yourself - for there are many readers here who this applies to. My thoughts on the topic went toward applying the assessment as a judgement vs a discernment. The distinction between the two is very powerful and good to be clear on. I personally think all lines of questioning are worth it - even if to discard them. None offence was meant

That is your meaning you have taken away from my statement. I'm just saying, always investigate what a belief is doing for you. Intellectually and more importantly, emotionally.

@sholomar The topic is AI slop - not the good kind of AI

@sholomar There's that saying: You're not ugly, just poor.

Don't get me any more hyped than I already am. Full bussin

@Somaya

Do you think maybe he's an experiencer? It would track way back to Close Encounters of the Third Kind
