Actualized.org is much more intelligently structured than religions. From my understanding, Actualized.org's purpose isn't about making you believe things or providing a moral system to conform to. Religions have a baked-in epistemology, which is faith- and belief-based. That epistemology, ironically, is taken for granted and assumed to be true, which makes them less intelligent.

WTF!

@Leo Gura, so, do you love everything about your Ukrainian, Russian and American culture? Certainly, there are things that you don't love. Why don't those people love other cultures as much as their own culture? I can love my culture, meaning I can help develop it in the way I see fit, but not necessarily accept biased stuff and conformities. It's like you are saying you should love the toxic behaviors of your friends, and if you don't, then you don't really love them. Yeah, I can accept them as they are and help them develop themselves, but I won't tolerate their toxic behavior; otherwise, I would be an idiot. Do you even understand that if I loved my culture exactly how those people do, I wouldn't care one bit about your teachings? I will love whichever I want and the way I want! I won't limit myself to any culture!

Well, people will fight for their culture because their values align with their culture's values. So, as long as mine aligns mostly with some culture's values, I can imagine a scenario where I get shot in the head for defending it against an actual threat. But I haven't found such a culture yet.

Yeah, I can imagine that. I would helplessly love my hypnosis. My culture would be greater than other cultures for me. I can also imagine myself fighting for other cultures against my culture as well. In reality, I'm drawn toward a culture that is more developed; that's my bias, you could say. I was brought up in different cultures. And honestly, I'm not willing to be shot in the head for any culture on identitarian grounds.

Isn't their love biased? I'm not judging.

Gossiping.

@Xonas Pitfall, their love of their culture comes before their love of the truth. Thus, their culture automatically seems infallible to them.

Fireworks.

Gosh 😣

Ice bucket challenge.

What movie have you recently watched, or are you now watching? I have yet to finish watching the movie "The Irishmen".

Have you checked your health situation? Perhaps it's health-related if it's not your doing, or you might have contradictions or assumptions that you're still holding that are being unearthed.

And any phenomenon in the visual field, by the virtue of being visual, is limited; it's in the visual category. If we assume that all visual phenomena are caused by the brain, then what causes the brain must be the brain itself; however, it's impossible because the brain must be prior to itself, like it is for other visual phenomena. But it can't. So either it doesn't cause, or a part of the brain causes. That part of the brain would also need to cause itself, however that's not possible as it has to be prior to itself too. So, this method would not yield an answer, because there's no end to the process. The whole approach is wrong because it assumes that the visual aspect of the brain (it could have been any visual phenomenon) is more real than other visual phenomena, focusing on how it affects other visual phenomena and ignoring the infinite resolution of the visual field.

I'm with you on reinterpreting "seeing a YouTube page" as "imagining a YouTube page". But it would be dishonest of me to say that I can will anything into existence in my current state. E.g., I cannot imagine a new sense perception in my current state.

Okay, but my experience is limited in my current state. I cannot imagine a unicorn in front of me right now, besides just visualizing it. Or perhaps a unicorn exists on another planet, but I have to get there to see it. I cannot will anything I want immediately currently in my state. There is a certain stability to my current experience that I can't break out of without certain means. Perhaps, I could if I took a high dose of a psychedelic.

So you just opened YouTube like you always do. I thought you were trying to say that you manifested YouTube page without holding your phone and clicking on the YouTube button, or using your computer and opening YouTube by typing the link.

@JoshB, is that possible without a psychedelic? Or do you mean that you reinterpreted what it means to open YouTube and see the thumbnails?

I say to them, "I'm going to be with them, not you."

Besides a trad wife lifestyle, I think that partners are still conformist about how they divide their roles/responsibilities in a relationship, even if there are things that each of them can't do or will find hard to do than the other.

You mentioned it.

@Leo Gura, I want to add more on "Consciousness Is NOT Caused By The Brain" IG post. Any sense perception as a category cannot be caused by a thing that is within its category. For example, the brain doesn't produce the visual field simply because it's a category within the visual field. What makes the visual field the parent category is that there's no visual thing outside of the visual field, and any visual thing you want to find will be within the visual field. So, if consciousness includes those sense perceptions, then, by default, the brain can't also be the cause of consciousness.

I think using cars can be seen as conformity when using cars instead of other transportation methods that would be more efficient.
