I feel like this somehow lives up to the fucked up Aussie wildlife stereotype. Only this huge cu** destroys cars, bollars and phonebootbs 🥹 https://youtu.be/Bs_U1pnM8MI?si=lhxsqExT64VVhooA

I think this is on the mark. He will not achieve true mind / body connection and balance until he surrenders all attempts to control from a place of force and fear. I fundamentally think 'Don't Die' is the wrong direction to be aiming for. Eternal life, or living forever. Such a small change in wording, but the direction of fear is dropped. I read a lot of anxiety, fear and uncertainty in Bryan. I won't be able to put forth any evidence for this, as the way I read people is unquantifiable to me when I try to explain. But I have not been wrong yet when I have such a strong feeling something is 'off'. I was probably picking up on some issue in his body balance. Issues with connection in this way show up as subtle expressions in us; more worries, more mind activity, less body connection, less resiliency etc. Even just tone and intonation changes. Hmmm - that one cannot use force. Energies in the body must be worked with. Understand the system, work with leverage points. Don't try to change the system too much from its natural function (system change as opposed to variable input change). I feel we do not understand what we are messing with...

@OBEler yep. And I raised that something doesn't add up if someone is so fragile that even a tiny bit of sleep disruption destroys their entire day. If he had this underlying issue it could be greatly contributing to Bryan's low resiliency to small routine disturbance. A few people in that thread who blindly follow Bryan tried to insist he was healthy and nothing was wrong.... Interesting case of a narrative sold to them from social media overriding one's own critical thinking / assessment. Poor dude. Hope he gets better. Hope be does some good for women's health! And hope he stops hiding his data that isn't the "top of all 18 year olds' etc etc

How are you thinking about the concept of love here, as a definition? ...before I run in with my own rap and knowledge of love 😃

I really hate this. AI companies stealing great artists works to feed their models. I think there are several huge lawsuits going on regarding stolen music to train models. Overall I strongly dislike AI image generators and music for this reason. But it's an interesting ethical question regarding IP and creators. Is using copyrighted material for training a form of fair use or copyright infringement ?Does consent from creators matter? Should creators be compensated if their work contributes to a commercial AI model? If a model can closely imitate a particular artist's style or generate convincing copies, where should the legal line be drawn? I love how AI fanatics focus on the model and AlL THe PoTENtIaL and ignore all the ethical implications. Anyway rant over 🥹

@Elliott yep, my mum's side of the family all legit believe in a real hell. Some people do.

Exactly. Fucked up grey area to inhabit. No clear boundaries in the blending of casual chat & proper teaching.

Definitely. I notice the effect in myself & in others. I consciously had to focus on my accountability as a way to better my own behaviour online. I used to be a pretty bad internet troll.

Nothing inferior, just made up.

Under the guise of anonymity, accountability is often reduced. It can make people act against their own values.... I sometimes wonder whether that means those values were never truly internalized in the first place. What we do when others are not looking can communicate a lot about character.

I don't generally take advice from those whose lives I wouldn't want to live. Which isn't the same as saying all his advice is trash. His older stuff is much better. Red pill stuff just gets more clicks. Orion has been burned by women. I think he has turned slightly jaded. Which happens. It's usually the dudes who (previously or still do) love & adore women the most who end up in red pill resentment land. A lot of his rationalisations are cope for the above.

Yep. I am typically using search engines for hard evidence or facts. Or cross referencing a large body of sources to get to the closest consensus. AI can get in the way. And does. When I go out to buy a bagel I want a bagel. Not a custard block. I don't appreciate being told the custrdr block is the bagel I asked for.

@Joshe don't waste you efforts. I don't have any issues thinking in such ways. I just pointed out you were essentially making up numbers because you didn't actually pull from a source.
