  1. Topics shouldn't devolve into attacks slandering one another.
  2. @kavaris you can't ask for no reply from a user and then directly engage them again in conversation. It's effectively a taunt and now it isn't fair to @Someone here now. If you end up stung because you kicked a hornets nest I'll just lock this.
  3. @Alex_R getting us back on track & returning to good faith discussion đŸ’Ē appreciate the share
  4. Maybe Ralston's mind has ossified with age. It happens to the best of us. Only human. Can't transend biology.... I perceive he wants a clean distinction between love and infinity due to the human, relative perception of love, and it's loaded connotations. It's all nameless in the end. Anyway LOVE you all!!! Girly giggles of love! Thanks for existing
  5. @Someone here if someone requests you stop replying, please attempt do so. It is easier to respect the boundary. Suppress the impulse to reply when someone expresses a boundary. In this case replying was achieving nothing but further agitation. @kavaris no name-calling. Flagrant violation of rules. I understand you are frustrated but this is not allowed.
  6. Hard to answer as this is very open to interpretation. I suppose a sensible idea would be to have an opening framework that steers toward a subject and then leads straight to open ended questions that centre on feeling and exploring a person's narrative. I would pick that subject or topic based on the energy from the person. Any topic that raises someone's passion or engages positive energy I dive into. Mostly I ask questions based on answers, and I like to find a way to marry my perspective or find in my experience where I relate. It will very much depend on what the other person requires from the conversation (context). Sometimes people just want to speak and be listened to. Other times it's a brainstorming session I would intentionally contribute to. Other times it's high energy wit. I always aim to play the serve back with the same energy. I agree, I think I would perceive the person who applied steps as having an agenda. I think an opening framework might be decent. Other than that it's a free-flow dance.
  7. Okay, but I feel as if you haven't looked into the topic. Your judgement is yours and that's calm. Peace đŸ•Šī¸
  8. That's your call my man!
  9. Well, I suppose that depends how you define ridiculous? Do you think we have identified, explained and know all that we see in the sky, sea or space?
  10. Just being full of love - a feeling of total unity. Embodying it. Make believe there are no barriers between anyone, anything. All is transparent. Total transparency That's my thoughts!
  11. Unidentified Flying Objects - or UAP. Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - observations of events in the sky, sea, or space that cannot be immediately identified or explained
  12. In short - don't build a fantasy of ideals based around your own self image of purity you have never had to defend under pressure.
  13. There will always be corruption. You just have to decide how much you are willing to engage in and maintain your own standards of integrity and conduct. It might be useful to find out what those metrics are for yourself. Understanding that there are our ideals - and how we ACTUALLY respond to reality and experience. One can be quite surprised at how you react when faced with the option to exploit an avenue vs how you would like to be. I thought the topic was more pertaining to social dynamic related devilry - which I find much easier to deal with. Myself? I have always been a devil. I love finding loopholes. Ambiguities. Risk. Unknowns. It is all an opportunity to innovate in some way. I mentally justify this as my own 'survival'. These impulses are not inherently immoral. They lead to innovation, entrepreneurship. But there are levels I will never go to. I know exactly where the cut-off points are where my integrity suffers, and my thoughts come back like 'devils' to get me at night. The only advice I have is to learn yourself and your standards through experience. Get into something and observe how you FEEL in response to situations that compromise your integrity. Those are your personal boundaries. There is no use being immobilised by ideals and perfect situations. Jump into life - it is the only way to explore yourself and know. I would make a list of grey-area careers, blacklisted careers, and whitelisted. Rank options in order of corruption according to your current feelings. And understand you may not know your own personal ethics until confronted with the experience. You want to work a job that leaves you with an unpolluted mind. Most people know their self-image - not their ethics.
  14. Have a deep look into it! It's curious!
  15. I know it's Rogan, but relevant. Probably nothing we don't already know - but enjoy! https://youtu.be/sKwq7mpBTrY?si=nnJ7Je6IMPwFC_Yc
  16. @HMD I happen chanced upon a couple of Roberts YouTube interviews where he outlined what his new book touches on. Those little audio biscuits got me excited for it 😁 Ngl it breaks my heart to hear him speak about how much he has lost since that stroke that wiped away his life as he knew it. He seems to be mourning and continually coming to grips with limitations. He often speaks about how precious life is and how it can be ripped away in a moment.
  17. Before and after pics? Kumbaya motherfucker, Ayahuasca saucer eye mode so we can meet the mechagnomes I have had the day from hell at work and I think my deranged state is coming out into this reply. GOOD TIMES
  18. @enchanted If so tis' chill, tis' chill - shit like this gets lost in text. I was sorta poking fun also Normally why when I am behaving mischievously, I add emojis or make myself small so Boss doesn't yell at me for being a bad mod 😈😈😈 We need devil emoji to indicate playful banter!
  19. @Basman stop trolling. And if you aren't, my god. You are closed minded or your ego won't let this go. Let it goooooooooo.
  20. As long as I have first dibs on plaiting that chungus epic beard, you have first dibs on into shaman mode 😃 BMS integrated sterile pure-air HVAC system, here we come! Powered by the tears of trolls, NPCs and garden gnomes (⁠⊙⁠_⁠◎⁠)
  21. I love your random exposition that leads into a point that crosses over the quoted post. It builds up like a story, rather than throwing a punchline out (very much the opposite of AI, actually!). I think coherence is a big one for me also - maybe this comes from Ni? I always look for ways to apply knowledge. And typically overlook some important details if I do not think it relevant to the application. Which can really come back to byte me in the arse when the knowledge is applied in a different way. The gap in my retention is revealed... Hard to explain how this works. I've had to learn to pay attention to truth and facts in isolation much more as a matter of diligence, to avoid the errors later on. Not sure if I am being clear with this. Describing my inner workings is difficult.
  22. Have you seen images of his place? The FOIL @integral post that shit boy. OWN IT
