Everyone has a different taste. In my opinion, the more purely or deeply subjective it is, the greater the art is. Demonizing shallow ones makes you a hypocrite.

I remember it too, like it was yesterday. I have yet to see someone like him. Brutally self-honest.

@Davino ok, thanks

Please give your recommendations on which center is worth going to (not only in the USA) and what type of psychedelic is worth doing at those centers. I know they are expensive, but, for now, I would rather pay more (but not too much 😅) and do it safely than be reckless and get caught. Your advice and recommendations would be much appreciated.

@Davino thanks. Do you know one that is more cheap and still great?

@Nivsch Believe as you may want. ✌️

Don't you both agree that genocide-doers should be punished? There are genocides that happen in very slow and sneaky ways you can't see and don't even care about. I know you're both frustrated, but you don't have to prove to each other who's more correct. https://www.genocidewatch.com/countries-at-risk

@DefinitelyNotARobot "Alpha male" types confuse not giving in to emotions too much with repressing them, so they start to believe that emotions aren't for them and become miserable. I think these are unhealthy types of masculinity and femininity for men.

@BlessedLion He obsessively wants love from others, not knowing that he lacks self-love.

@Hojo I don't entirely agree with you, but I have been doing it since I was like 14–15 years old, and I've had "bad" days, but I'm still doing it. Some people discover their talents earlier than others. Also, I do it because it's so beautiful and amazing when I'm playing what I've heard. Knowing that I can bring myself pleasure just by (re)creating something wonderful keeps me motivated. In my opinion, talent or hard work are secondary. Firstly, you have to know whether something makes you feel deep satisfaction or pleasure. It's like being in a freefall.

@BlessedLion I hate his friend! 🤬

@LSD-Rumi Because he is not that different from his followers.

@Thought Art I have a yearning to learn drawing. I get high on learning (my own way), exploring, and, recently, coming up with a few notes on the piano, although I don't like adhering to teachers even a little bit. The pleasure of just doing it makes me happy and joyful, even though I have days that are extremely boring. Sometimes, I think I can connect those two and also other things that don't seem to be connected someday. Could this be a call?

I watched nearly all of them 2-3 years ago. The one that I mentioned is utterly foundational and deep, which you'll recognize over time. It'll feel like wearing an advanced pair of glasses when you get what he is saying. It is superior to reading the holy scriptures and listening to others teach and/or brainwash you with spirituality if you consider yourself to be a spiritual person.

@Nivsch Don't worry; there are a lot of people who hate both.

It's not that simple.

But all of this depends on the context.

But is there really a balance of power?

You can justify your behavior by saying that you are providing and protecting.

Masculinity, like femininity, can be toxic. That's why men, who mostly identify themselves as masculine, can be toxic. Women being against men being toxic is not toxic, which can become toxic if they are wrong about the person. That is why I said don't care if women say that you're being toxic, if you are not.

@mr_engineer Also, no one here is defending women blindly. They do it because a lot of men believe they are superior because they have power, whether it is given to them naturally or by humans. So, those men are basically being against women.

@mr_engineer The thing is, you believe men aren't toxic at all, or if they are being called as such, then women are exaggerating. I mean, yes, women can exaggerate it. That's why I said to see it as a defense mechanism, because sometimes they can be wrong about it. Women are against men who are toxic. Of course, there can be women who hate men, but there'll be fewer than men who hate women (I don't think those two groups would entirely hate each other). Men still have power, at least physical power, which they can abuse and certainly do.

@mr_engineer Do you agree to ban the real toxic behavior of men? I know those words can be thrown at you, even if you're not being toxic (maybe you are, I don't know). But see them as a defense mechanism. You're not the only man who exists. Banning them might help you feel good, but it'll be hurtful to women as they will lose power to speak against men, who are really toxic, and there are a lot of them.

Those words aren't used only as slurs, and even if they are, they are not equal to the N-word. I know that those words can be hurtful. But you don't have to care about it, as it's easy to misunderstand others while processing emotions, regardless of whether they are right or wrong about you. The real solution is knowing your place, whether others are being mean, compassionate, right, or wrong.
