@Stick I don't understand - are you implying a 3rd world country cannot be a dictatorship?

@Tenebroso you have NO IDEA what women want, or how they work. I cannot help but chuckle! Some things are on the mark, but then you are blind to the red pill stuff just hamfisted in there?!??! You can't see it?!???! There needs to be time spent critically assessing ideas and being aware of cognitive bias, prior to just absorbing it all. You will be much happier and get results! Regarding OP I think men/women are picky in different domains, so it's hard to compare. I think with social media and 'grass is always greener' comparison syndrome... Both sexes 🤣

@bazera exactly - it's horrifying! It puts into doubt all the 'knowing' we think we have. The power of not knowing

Fuck you, Ames Window (many of you have probably come across this): Demonstrates our brains prioritise assumptions over raw data. Perception is a best guess not a direct feed, here we are predictively processing. Reality = sensory input + built in expections. Depth cues like perspective and motion are ambiguous... When two cues conflict the brain fucken brute forces it, picks one interpretation and makes it fit what it thinks will happen. What we are 'seeing' in reality is like a controlled hallucination mechanistically. The brain is constantly predicting, correcting errors and then making shit up to fill the gaps. I feel betrayed 💀

I think you very fundamentally confuse the absolute with the relative and speak as if they are synonymous. Solipsism is just a limit. It can never explain reality. It is a concept that relies on other presuppositions to hold up. You can use it to describe your experience, but not reality as whole. There's nothing direct about solipsism. It's just mind chatter with no relationship to what Is.

Do you mean character vs behaviour as an axis? To further bring nuance and flesh out terms. Identity is usually who we believe we are. Behaviour - what you do (the 'bricks') Character - your consistent patterns (the structure the bricks form over time) Identity - who we believe we are, or internal narrative (the blueprint/plans we build from) I see it as identity driving behaviour and those behaviours build into character with time.

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

@UnbornTao heh heh I must say, of the two versions: The one yellow, marked up below, is BY FAR the most venereal disease ridden POS. The arrogance to even call it a program 🤣

@Florian defending Bryan hard here. Can you show me where he addresses the issues with extending life when one is suffering, dealing with chronic pain or emotional distress ie personality disorders or pathologies? Some of these circumstances poke holes in his philosophy. And I haven't seen him even try to address this. Just avoid. It's super easy to be all sun and rainbows in a rich paradise.

@LoneWonderer holy shit. I dated someone who's extended family were all from Zimbabwe. Similar corruption in the police force with similar stories reported by his family. Maybe not to the level you shared....but bad enough!

You cannot grasp solipsism as a concept without some split; dualism. My mind Other minds. Inside. Outside. The concept of solispism can never be if you forget all. Never known.

This is a good point. In an interview with Dr Mike, Bryan was challenged on his Don't Die ideology. Mike raised the example of people who suffer from chronic pain, health issues and terrible life circumstances and queried how 'Don't Die' is for everyone given these people aren't in the position of privilege Bryan is in. Bryan diverted twice and avoided addressing the question. I think quality of life, health and state are a big part of living longer; who the fuck wants to live longer in chronic, incurable pain? He has good intentions, but Bryan's philosophy is poor.

Solipsism relatively is a concept - it relies on presuppositions. Inside, outside. I, other.

@Carl-Richard every time you vs the forum solipsists. Admirable good sir! I've no idea how you have the stamina...

@YIDIRYIDIR chill man, no need to get so wound up. You commented in reply to a user they responded to the topic title and not body of the post - as if the two had nothing in common. Pretty common for users to do so. My comment is aimed to get you to contemplate what the entire topic is saying about what you could be ignorant to. It's like a koan. Offense can only be taken.

Are you trying to insinuate the title isn't clickbait in some way? 💀💀💀 A notice a pattern:

Both the DOACEO guy and Rogan don't challenge and push back enough imo.

You don't know, what you don't know.

X1 Carbon notebook - cops a smashing by me (ten thousand tabs, bluebeam, revit, autocad + unflattened architecture renders and still has headroom for more). Garmin - I really enjoy tracking my vital stats and noting/observing patterns Qingping Air Monitor - really assisted me working out why I was getting sleepy so often, what triggered my nasal congestion and eye irritation (NB our air is fairly fucked) Samsung S26 - PHUK ifone >.< huehuehue - no, but in all seriousness it is a gadget/tool I use constantly. Pierce Chronograph second world war mechanical watch - from my Grandad, who was gifted it by his mother on his birthday. I've had it serviced to maintain it (mechanical watch servicing and collecting is NO JOKE upwards of $700). It is more a dude thing, mechanical watch collecting. I have a few but this is my favourite. A set of lock picking mechanisms and a lock drill - I can break into many standard cylinders. It will take me 3-4 hours practice on a cylinder type to be able to repeat and get into that cylinder type. I love doing this - just knowing I am capable of it - even if I will never do it. Also a card swipe reader and replicator. Depending on what type of building it is I can crack a lot of security access controls. Sony WF1000XM5 - I love bass. These aren't the most articulate earbuds for breadth of sound but they scratch my musical ITCH

Hmmm. I am just going to stream-of-consciousness spitball off... Do you have many really intense responsibilities at this present time? To others, not just your own survival. Or I should say, do you have a strong sense of meaning and being responsible to that meaning? External pressures that you have willingly taken on yourself. This relates to what might be dormant inside - living authentically to your masculinity. Creation. Work. Mastery. Commitment. I do not mean to make any assumptions about if you are a man or a woman - merely that (man or woman) - that masculine GIVER energy, if not expressed, can turn inward in a negative way and smother its own flame. I went through a period of engaging in spirituality as a form of bypassing. Avoiding engaging in something with high stakes. And it was easy to remain in an unfettered place of peace and love. I wonder how this state might change if you were in circumstances that challenged it? Within my own small realm of experience - I formed a spiritual ego (that I then had to reconstruct) - and I convinced myself commitment, responsibility and mastery to something greater than myself was not worth the endeavour. Especially as it seemed the fruits of such a labour were material and low-consciousness. I am not saying you are spiritually bypassing. I certainly was... You could be in a transition / pivot point in life. These happen. But I also realised I reached a point where I realised I was needing to face challenges to trigger myself - work out where I had a lot of conditioning from experience - and work to dissolve that. And the only way to further 'progress' was to work on dissolving my conditioning. Attachments. Desire/aversions. I get a sense you feel no progress is being made? For me, facing challenges. BIG ONES. Revealed uninspected parts of myself that needed attention. And I was not able to see this without assigning myself a sense of meaning and responsibility. Commitment. Mastery. Masculine energy channelled.

Oh man I see some fucked up shit. Feel some fucked up shit. And HEAR some fucked up shit!! No doubt there is some juju going on

Hsjkdjdenkknejkajsjjjwj EXACTLY 💯

A whole lot of knowing! This discussion is rather humorous to me, because you and I are what I would consider WAY more open to the woo than most - but still critically thinking and questioning. Responsibility to epistemology 🫠🫠🫠

@Ramasta9 I am not triggered - I just question. Whatever you think you are reading from me isn't correct there. Sort of makes me chuckle that I could be disturbed by the links. If you are making that claim you have seen that Trump is a reptilian, then that's an experience you have had I have to take at your word. Same thing if you had seen a reptilian and made that claim. I just didn't see you state that or make that claim. Offense cannot be taken that I assumed you had not; there was no explicit statement. Unless I misread or skimmed over it... In which case... Oops on me! This is just a discussion. Not personal. If you explicitly state you have seen a reptilian, that is indeed more than hearsay.

I linked my younger brother (he's fucking 38 mind you) a 10 minute clip 'Fuck I can't do that length, sorry. Got a 2 minute synopsis?' Imagine one of Leo's videos >.<
