Yourself

A person's state/energy also plays a major role in how attractive she is. For me, it's hard to find a porn model that's attractive. There's something off about most of them, probably because of being fucked by so many guys, most of whom they don't even like. It's like, their sexuality is severely damaged.

Yeah, I think Gary Vee is good at following trends and money making opportunities. It's probably a good way for creatives to make money, although I see 0 value in buying those NFT assets other than selling them later at a higher price. I think it's mostly about speculation and vanity ("I have exclusive rights to this image/video").

Don't see how NFTs are shallow or superficial. It's just a technology which can have many different use cases. If you're talking about NFT art specifically, then I agree. It's ridiculous, to be honest.

People should be able to make up their own minds based on the information they receive. Only giving them one sided information and suppressing the alternative side is basically taking away their right to make their own decisions. It's like saying, "you all are too stupid to make the right decision, so we're going to eliminate any information that is going to make you think". This is not different than the government deciding that it has the right to tell you what you can or cannot put into your body (drug prohibition). The same companies that have been telling us how scary drugs are are now telling us how scary this virus is and that vaccines are the only solution. Not surprising so many people don't trust them. Let's say, these vaccines damage a lot of people's health. Who's going to take responsibility?

There are no psychedelic enlightened ones.

No, this is a legitimate question that you're simply dismissing as illegitimate using no real arguments. Being called out is not a problem, suppressing alternative information is a problem. Not all those who are called 'conspiracy theorists' believe that 4chan is as reliable as Reuters or CDC because much everyone who has an alternative opinion is now a conspiracy theorist. Among them, doctors, scientists etc. whose voices are suppressed. Casting doubt on the credibility of information is good. Truth can withstand any criticism. Lies cannot.

And who decides what is misinformation?

You would have to know exactly what's in the vaccine and how each of those ingredients works in the human body. There are definitely concerns about the new mRNA vaccines raised by some scientists. No one knows how they'll affect you long term, especially considering this type of vaccines have never been used before. But you're not allowed to have any negative opinions about the covid-19 vaccines or even ask questions, especially if you're a scientist or have some influence. This is a big experiment where people are the guinea pigs.

Space is inferred, it doesn't exist in direct experience.

Only if the issue can be solved by a surgery. If you have a chronic issue that can't be solved by a surgery, they have no fucking clue. Most often they'll give you a bunch of pills that just suppress your symptoms while creating a bunch of other symptoms.

Even when you feel happy when you get some object, the happiness you feel is coming from you, not from that object. If objects contained happiness, then everybody who got it would feel happy, which is not the case. So the idea is, if happiness is coming from you, and not from objects, why not go directly to the source instead of chasing objects.

Trauma.

Or worse, pouring water in your nose and mouth and making you suffocate.

Lol, dude. If there was no difference between anything, you wouldn't know a difference between a door and a window, a red and a green light etc. You wouldn't know any difference between words, which you clearly do, or you wouldn't be able to write any of this. On a relative level, there's a difference. If you didn't know that difference, you wouldn't be able to function. You also have no problem talking from a relative perspective when you say we gotta love others. If there's no difference between you and others, why are you talking about others? You talk from a dualistic point of view when it suits you. But when someone else does, you try to negate their words using a non-dual point of view. This is dishonest and it doesn't work.

Relatively, there are differences, or you wouldn't be writing anything. The problem is that you're jumping between perspectives when it suits you. When you are challenged on the relative level, you jump to "there's no me, no you, nothing exists". It's an avoidance mechanism.

That's not Russell's natural personality. It's a persona he created that he presents (or used to) to the world. He talks about it in some of his videos ("I've developed a series of persona that are quite good") He admits to having social anxiety and lacking self confidence. For example, he talks about how having to socialize with a group of people at a dinner table is very uncomfortable for him. I think he mostly dealt with these issues lately, but he still has them in those videos that were posted here. There are some actors/comedians who are very confident and charismatic on stage but if you meet them in real life they're shy and reserved. It's because that stage persona is not who they really are as a person.

Can you find the universe other than as a thought?

First you talked about loving others, now you switched to "everything is you" when I talked about loving yourself. Another example of jumping between perspectives to get out of a conversation. If everything is you, then there is no loving others.

The most important love and compassion is to yourself, not others. You can't truly love others unless you love every aspect of yourself. Then loving others is natural. Otherwise, it's b.s.

According to Mahayana Buddhism, buddhas exist in different planes of reality. Just because every concept is deconstructed, doesn't mean the apparent existence stops.

There is no such thing as the only way.

I think some people are either not sensitive enough to feel a big difference between Papaji and Tom Cruise or just in denial. Saying it's just a matter of perception is again a fallacy of bringing an idea from one level of consciousness into another one. It doesn't work like that. On the mundane level, it's not all just a matter of perspective.
