I'm speaking of the personality self. Not Self. This is why I ask you, because I think you are speaking of a different thing.

You don't think it is strange that you have such a rigid, fixed sense of self? I only ask because this seems closed. Not open. Openness is something you seem to speak on a lot. If you were to get married, have kids, and divorse - you would be EXACTLY the same as before. Your memories all the same. The experience wouldn't change you AT ALL?

No. In terms of history and experience. You are the exact same now as prior to the last 10 years? The same as when you were 12?

Are you exactly the same as you are now, as you were 5, 10, 15 years ago?

Could kick the biscuits off that face. https://youtu.be/CXKCoFz3WRs?si=BbEonpsoijxlQPCE

@integral this Some people build their own houses from scratch in rich countries. Takes a lot longer usually. Can cost more. Dunning Kruger effect. Also in poor countries you normally don't have ten quadrillion regulations to adhere to and insane beauracy. Compliance and building surveyor's. Local council permits just to install a piece of straw in your front post etc. Sure, they have regulations. But it won't cuck you as much as a rich western first world country.

Personal and relational needs are individual though. These aren’t guaranteed by society, because they depend on other people’s choices. In a soft way systems should support and assist relational needs. That's something society should be responsible for. But not outcome.

Is it societies responsibility to find a fix for dating issues? I think it depends what we mean by dating issues. Society fixing a system so there is entitlement to a partner sounds way fucked up, as an example. But if we are talking the concern about widespread social breakdown in forming relationships, that's something that can be worth paying attention to. As long as it is a systems problem and not a rights claim.

Not to mention zero services flexibility for mud houses. Imagine dropping a cable for a new ethernet port or wanting a new GPO... In solid mud wall lol. No one prioritises air quality over their technological comfort. Conduit all over the walls 🤣🤣 Mud high-rises. I'd imagine building would be slower due to increased labour. The whole building industry is pretty corrupt. Cheap is the name of the game. That's why every new building looks like the same architectural box - cheap design. Cheap to build material wise. Lower labour costs. Anything pretty or organic like a curve is $$$

I am full of regret - my one goal in life would be achieved by now! Such a shame, Natasha! You could be status and wealth mogging! The masses would capitulate to my celebrity! What better way to be fulfilled in this life!!!!!

Give it time. And experience.

Yeah, health trumps bank account and celebrity. And looks. So no.

Fucking cool 😄 If anyone is curious :

Might be worth it to add in DX split cycle aircon units - the TVOC in my apartment skyrockets with a split cycle air conditioner in use. Same at my brothers & Dads place with a DX split cycle. At work we have a 4 way DX split in the ceiling that does the same - TVOC goes up a shitload. The only time the monitor hasn't shown a shift in TVOC is with a FCU cassette (chilled water).

You should purchase a high quality air monitor - I have one that monitors outdoors and indoors. Every material used around you is constantly off-gassing. Temperatures rise and fall causing all materials to expand and contract. Releasing material. Plants do have an effect in highly controlled studies done by NASA many years ago - but these environments cannot be replicated and the volume of plants you would need would be incomprehensible.

It is why a solid gratitude practice should be a core ethos. When you are younger this privilege is a lot more unconscious - you simply are not aware of how much you have access to with simple vitality, health and low obligations / responsibility. As you get older, energy declines, health fades. Those around you begin to die. You suffer in a way that is incomprehensible when young... Just the fact I woke up this morning, warm in bed. Dog curled around my feet. All is well. Sun is rising. That is the BEST feeling. THAT is all I desire. Beauty of reality and peace

@Lila9 I have a huge issue with DOACEO, Dr. K, Chris Williamson, Joe Rogan etc. And it has nothing to do with how they come across, their tone or intonations. Its the lack of pushback when really questionable shit comes up. You have to really think about the typical podcast cycles (that a lot of speakers use as a PR round) when they give a platform to individuals, and fail push back. Many of these shows focus on conversation flow and gratifying feelings and beliefs over truth seeking. Unfortunately, they are heavily incentivised to keep guests comfortable, maintain access to high profile people and providing a format that tends to reward engagement rather than being accurate. Real time fact checking is typically difficult also, an additional challenge. So it is survival corrupting the entire long format podcast scene. It is one of the reasons I tend to prefer Dr Mike as an interviewer, as he isn't as afraid to rock the boat and really push back on topics for a more balanced approach. I also tend to follow investigative journalists over listening to the podcast slop that is being served these days. The long format podcast circuit has a HUGE influence on many chronically online users.

Typically when someone cannot understand the nature of something, they need and cling to excessive theory and generalisations. You find the more an outcome is desired or needed, the more the concept is clung to. The less direct experience the person has, the more the lean to abstraction to compensate. When you grasp a thing you normally have the ability to shed all concept and frames of understanding - loosely picking them up or throwing them away. But not requiring them as 'scaffolding' as much as when there is emotional ties to outcome and an experience gap. Having said that - sometimes the reverse can be true. A system can be genuinely complex and resistant to direct simple grasp. It cannot be reduced and needs nuance and case-by-case assessment using a frame. But I think a stout mind can assess and throw away all pre-conceived notions of a thing and approach with 'I don't know'. No attachment to concepts, but full access to them. Ultimately, all need to be discarded.

@Monster Energy pretty much agree with your takes above. He looked remarkably more fucked up in this interview than I have seen him.

Direct mechanism of action is one of the hardest things to pin down. It is the old correlation =/= causation. And its half the reason why the whole 'wellness' industry can be a phat $$$ deceptive grift - mechanisms of action need hard science and proper method. I would add; lack of understood mechanism doesn't mean no effect - it just means lower confidence. And it's not mechanism alone, but quality of evidence.

It is a great tool to be able to separate how we feel about a delivery, from the actual facts, information and words used. If our perception of facts/information + tone/delivery are jumbled together, it often leads us to defer to our feelings, over the truth.

...that you cannot believe is still free? For me its VLC, Blender. ffMPEG, OBS and Linux (to name what I use currently)

@Leo Gura 🎯 if I could find an emoji of a bullseye with 3 darts in the centre, it still wouldn't be good enough to express how sick that quote is ! Has anyone said Greyhound Racing or the betting industry? Not only conformity, but utterly filthy behaviour from humans. Horrific injuries and inhumane shit. I don't get emotional often but that stuff is a trigger for me 💔

Why stop there? Go deep son... Tough mudder. Iron man. Ultramarathon. Spartan race. Triathlon... Warrior Dash. I am sure there are more 💀 My ex used to train for triathlons and totally destroy his body, taking months to recover. Huge let down after the race as he had nothing to work towards because he literally dicked his own body. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fitness girl. But balance and care for the body, not mindless meat grinder winner mode...

I see you've smelled my penis envy 🥹
