So you think a topic like politics needs to be grounded in consciousness work from meditation to reach a respectable level of depth?

I have once seen a streamer delete an in game item with about 20 dollar value. Maybe it was just a way to detatch. It seemed that way to me. He seemed like a very conscious gamer if you can believe that.

Feels like Leo is going back and forth with meditation and always with such a sense of supremacy if thats the right word. At one point he says its overrated because some genetically gifted people extract value from it but the vast majority it doenst do much and then at other points he says its foundational and everyone who doesnt do it cant be taken seriously as an intellectual. I guess at no point was the importance of meditation as a form of calming the mind negated.

You could challenge your bodies capacity for tolerating fatigue with doing lots of volume with other exercises as well.. Whats unique about the 1 RM deadlift is that its a ton of stress for a short time. When I started doing deadlift back in the day I always got very lightheaded until I got used to it. If that is of use and a worthy opportunity cost for other hypertrophy work later I dont know. Yeah, Mikes training style does feel smart and like you are training your body like a machine, that resonates with me. Its not unique to Mikes training though. I find it very hard to identify what is intuitive with all the subconscious programming we have which influences training. From male role model, believes about fitness from culture, influence of other gym goers, motivation level, testosterone, surpressed emotions, ... Can you imagine a child intuitively training for muscle growth?

I just finished the LP course a few days ago. I have been thinking about this moment for quite a while as I started this course more then 2 years ago. Not that I get all the missing answers here but maybe some advice from more experienced folks who are already living their LP. I am 25 now and I live in germany. I have got inattentive adhd which made many things very difficult for me like concentration, dealing with emotions and social problems which indirectly also made other things difficult like finding study partners or getting help with emotional distress difficult. So basically I was always an emotional mess/ overtaxed/ semi depressed while getting nothing done and not understanding what was wrong with me. As a result I had difficulties answering many questions in the life purpose course because I experienced relatively little concrete success so far because I couldnt really take part in life as much. I feel like I have got as close to it as what would be possible with my blockades but I feel like the very thing that is my LP is something I cant see right now. I take meds now and it seems like many things are clearing up rapidly but and I do make quite the transformation. I feel more capable but not necessarily upgraded. The stars become less interesting and I see more immediate tasks ahead. I become a lot more concrete instead of abstract. Thats the best way I can describe it. I seem to manifest myself in reality. I was always very reflected and stuff but was like a wave without its own will it can force onto the world. I develop a sense of self now. It sounds pretty unconscious I know and I made the point myself that adhd (at least the inattentive type that I experience) makes you more conscious. But in taking my meds I can deal with reality at least. If I got emotional support/ grounding maybe I could do it without meds but currently I can only do it this way. So this situation is quite confusing atm. In terms of my career so far: teaching: I am in 10th semester of studying math and philosophy for middle school but only have enough points to complete like 4 semesters (you need 10 semesters in total) because of the emotional distress I was always in. I could probably do better with the meds now so it really isnt hopeless. I decided to study teaching though because I did some internship to see what I like and teaching was okay for a moment and I couldnt deal with the pain of being in a situation of uncertainty so I did the best thing I found at the moment which wasn't the most conscious choice. Also there is a bit of buffer as with this graduation I can do other things as well. Teaching isnt directly my Life Purpose I am pretty sure about that. But I would earn a lot of money per hour, can do it part time, have a lot of holidays and a class in school gives you many direct information to observe which can inspire you. A school class is basically a mirror of society, all the kids are just mini versions of what's to come. So that can help me understand society and psychology more which would deepen whatever I create with my LP. I already thought a little and am also teaching 5 hours per week atm and it's an okay job. So it wouldnt be my LP but it would have a good base to comfortable pursue my real LP. acting: Over the last two years I have been doing a lot of acting as a hobby which is a lot of fun but it took a lot of time and I am also thinking about doing this as a career path. It would give me a relatively unstable base though and it would probably just miss my LP. Learning to act itself is incredible fun but it can also be emotionally challenging which I might not be capable to do. My Life Purpose is generally a bit unclear to me. Being a critical thinker is very much part of my authentic self and I have also got a very creative mind because of my adhd. On their own or even combined they dont really give me a life purpose that I find meaningful. For example I always think critically but I dont see where this practically leads to. And I often come up with new start up ideas because as I love the creative process but when it isnt connected to something meaningful I loose interest in it. The closest I could with these two is working on series like Rick&Morty which comes close to feeling like a LP. But I think there is a last component, a last value that is blocked from my mind. Besides these top two values I also care about empathy, goodness, authenticity, but not enough about any of them to make a LP in combination with the two about them I think. I sometimes look in my past to where the last puzzle piece might be. I developed a very profound even mystical happiness as a kid as I think that I had mystical experiences in kindergarden. I really vibed with Jesus in that time as well. I felt like it would virtually be impossible to break my spirit because I was connected to something unbreakable. I even felt like I needed to go through some real shit, to be lost, to come out of it and from that place be authentically able to help other people. I had a feeling of calling back then. Well I am not quite back to my inner garden of roses yet. I did about 20 trips of psychedelics and never realized a mystical experience because I was in too much shit mentally I think. (interestingly never had a really bad trip either though) I formulated my LP rather vague. I couldnt find any formulation that deeply inspired because as I said I think there is some authentic part of me missing. Taking my reflection about my past and moments of reflection I feel like it has to do with healing, bliss, profound love, existential (healing), spirituality. But I cant completely make out if these things interest me because I feel like I have a lack of them (negative motivation) or if it is authentic. To make my LP more concrete I could reformulate it like this for example (but I am not sure about it): - giving people blissful spiritual experiences to make them more loving and conscious. - finding existential beauty and meaning in fucked up situations to make people more hopeful So with all of this I have no clear direction of where to go and I found out new things about myself/ unblock blockades and this is probably going on for months and years to come. All ways would help me move forwards. If I study to become a teacher that would be an acceptable path which would allow me to do lots of other stuff (LP) I am interested in as well but then I could never study to become a serious actor because I would be too old at this point. I would need to become more clear about myself and my values to see what I value most. A side thought is also to experiment with start ups (for money) as I have lots of ideas for them. Right now I am thinking of continue studying while giving myself time to process and I can on the side apply to acting schools. Chances of getting accepted are pretty low anyways and if I get accepted that would be a sign that I am quite talented. Design ohne Titel.pdf

You can probably find an accountability partner on reddit. Looks promising: https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=accountability+partner+adhd&type=communities&cId=1ddc8fc5-6641-4593-ba20-fe8cd1280de6&iId=d831b5b2-4091-4730-9b05-4ef13ec9e821 Tell me if you succeed though.
-
There are sources, websites etc. where you can find a reliability partner. Someone who asks you if you got your goals done? Has anyone experience with it? Feels like a commitment to start something like this. I have extremely high success with body doubling, its basically the only way for me to focus with adhd, so I am thinking that maybe there are some parallels.
-
No I havent ... It sounds a bit psycho but also genius. Could honestly be effective. I watched one of Dr. Mikes video about his struggle with adhd. Was this a side recommendation of him or does he do more content and tipps about adhd in extra videos? I blocked my Youtube because of adhd.

Maybe, maybe it acually needs more time under tension, I dont know. I dont know how science argues about it enough. Hehe, yeah thats how I would picture a hypertrophy stimulating 1 rep max as well. But that cant be the answer, either a not so grindy 1 RM (or close to 1 RM) is stimulating enough for hypertrophy or 1 RM should be reserved for strength. The amount of fatigue you accumulate with this one rep is unholy. A whole workout will cause less fatigue then this. CNS fatigue!? Would you say "scientific lifting" overlaps heavily with "intuitive lifting aimed at hypertrophy" ? Whats the difference?
-
For the strongmen they would need to cut more then 10-20% of their 10000 kcal diet. You are mostly in danger when you get very lean, to get shredded muscle needs to be sacrified. To get relatively lean not so much. Maintenance volume rises in a cut of course. Yeah I see what you are saying. But generally what science suggests is that a big spectrum of rep ranges work for hypertrophy. I used GPT to research the scientific body a bit and it turns out very heavy sets (1-2) reps are rarely measured for their hypertrophy stimulus directly because such studies are hard to do. Its more indirectly that scientist believe that very heavy sets arent as good for hypertrophy because the amount of effective reps (reps close before failure where all the wonderful stimulus happens) are so little as its mostly just 1 rep compared to sets with 6 , 12 , 20 reps with more effective reps before failure so thats why it doenst seem as effective. Your body may point intuitively to some way of training but is that intuition pointed towards what you want? In my case maximum hypertrophy. Does my goal and my bodies intuition align? I would consider 12 - 15 reps mid to high reps. Generally you want to do the whole rep range from time to time though. I dont really have a bias for a specific rep range I think. Well with some exercises I need a higher rep range to actually feel the muscle. And with Quads I try to be in the lower rep range as it makes the exercise easier psychologically.

Asked in my Discord RV group if someone can view a target for me. Lets see how it goes. You always have options..
-
I need to completle regain trust in RV. First step is showing that it actually works. The best way is to ask other remote viewers to view something for me.
-
I just honestly explained my RV situation to someone else which actually helps a lot and gives an extra reality check. I contemplated with GPT about the possibility of it being a fraud. I thought it would be possibly that they would give me advice even after receiving all this payment so that it doesnt seem like a fraud and they keep their reputation but the advice so far seemed so authentic and the video calls as well, I couldnt imagine someone that heartless, he would need to be a complete sociopath. However I can ask him or professional remote viewer to view a target I have of course!! That would explain at least make the part clear if remote viewing is real or not. Then it can still be a fraud but it would be less likely.
-
Its possible. Depends on the case. I dont think its possible in your case though, you seem so invested. You need to be emotionally over her for it to work.
-
Interesting how non professional actor act differently All of those people make it very clear that they are looking at something, while Kai Greene just looks at something.

The most cis men humor I heard in a long time.

They would have a harder time to keep the muscle while loosing the fat if it turns out that higher rep training is more hypertrophic then strength training, but thats the basis of our discussion I believe. Well a mix of strength training and hypertrophy and constant "bear mode" will get you far ofc. Btw. Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw are strongmen though. In strongmen events you do mostly exercises where you need strength endurance. 1 rep maxes dont train that optimally. They likely train mostly in the hypertrophy range anyway. I dont think Olympian BB are always the pinnacle of maximum muscle development when I think about it, some symmetrie and proportion is important. Greg Kovac, despite being arguably the biggest BB ever never placed highly because of it. A big gut often carries with it more muscle, but its unaesthetic. Well that makes a basis for argumentation pretty small. Btw. do you think that all intuitive training will lead to strength based training? What do you think about the Golden Age bodybuilder who did lots of sets. They didnt have the science so they trained in a way that intuitively felt good. And then Mike Mentzer the science guy came along with his one set high intensity style lol. There is a calisthenics icon which I cant find anymore unfortunately. He collabed with Jeff Nippard and I believe Frank Yang at some point. He does his own intuitive training style and does unholy amounts of volume every day. 2020 pull ups to new year and stuff like that. What do you make of that?

They are great for travelling especially. But sometimes they are a bit too great, didnt hear the ringing at my door when my chimney sweeper came.

Queen is worth about 9 Rook 5 Bishop 3 Knight 3 Pawn 1 Obviously in regular chess the King has maximum value. But its also obvious that this is quite a reductionistic estimation as the Kings movement options can be compared to the other pieces. The Kings movement is above that of a Pawn and below that of a Queen. So I always wondered how much value the King has based on its movement options. But because the King cant be used in a regular combative sense as he needs to play in a way to always be preserved and also cant stay in checks its playstyle is quite limited. And you also cant really turn chess into a pure combat game as a thought experiment where the goal is to defeat all your enemies pieces to estimate how strong the King is because in chess you win by defeating the King which can be done in a more elegant and effective way then smashing all your enemies pieces before they smash yours. Obviously smash value will collerate strongly with regular value but I think some pieces are better for checkmating then for smashing. For example I think a Bishop is better for checkmates then a Knight who is better for smashing pieces. Depending on the context of course. If you ask the question how much value a piece has for checkmating the opposing King then I think you can get to the value of the King. This would be my formula: The value of the King for checkmating the opposing King - The material and opportunity cost to defend the King = The value of the King In the early game this will likely be negative value and in the late game the value can become positive. What do you think is the smash value of the King btw. as I think this is still an important pointer?

Ah okay, I couldnt picture much beyond groping in my head. This makes more sense.
-
Holy shit thats a lot. Well with this much practice you can just seem like a natural. Ofc you could also be one.

I love this stupid acting. Timestamped

I get the feeling you are a natural.
