I used to be able to cut a quote in half with the paragraph key. It doesnt work anymore. Does anyone have similiar experiences? Its not a huge deal but it was kind of nice, especially when you want to shorten a quote and want to take the video or picture out at the end which isnt possible now.

Do you mean who does the best speeches or who is best at doing the speaking? For the latter I would put Jordan Peterson on the top as he is just great at capturing an audience with his speaking ability. Oh Alan Watts also.

Very much agree with Applegarden. There are some great videos from Jordan Peterson as well. Haha its so refreshing to see him before he turned to the dark side, this is real gold. Somewhere in the internet there is a video where he talks about a female patient of him who is very socially anxious and he tolds her to basically keep exposing herself and while it was though she made insane progress in a short amount of time, she was basically unrecognizable after a few months. Cant find the video unfortunately but thats basically it, if you just keep at it you can change so much. This is also valueable: The power lies in the practice and not the theory though.

Begs the question if it could be added as a feature though? Of course only if its easy to do, its just a comfort thing at the end.

Oh that was it, you are right!

@Yimpa No, I cant highlight the picture and delete it. Maybe it works on other devices, on Mac it doesnt seem to be possible.

Kind of. I noticed splitting makes two things easy: 1) As I said when there is a video or picture right at the end you cant get your mouse under that and remove it so if you want to shorten a quote with a picture at the end this seems to be only possible with splitting. 2) Sometimes you want to respond to parts of the quote. You can work around that by quoting the whole quote multiple times and removing different parts of it, its less comfortable though. Its not a huge deal but I noticed the absence of that feature.

that one:

What do you mean by that?

Have you ever went to one of his workshops?

Thats actually very insightful, thanks for sharing. I didnt see all the possible mechanisms at play. Imagine someone shot with the gun in the air at that exact moment. Not at trump, just as a loud shocker. That would burn the slender tentacles who test the waters and dont yet have a strong grip on reality and what they can get away with. It would set the reaction tone from the very beginning. It would be in the news and would make many people aware of the hidden process going on very early.

I am asking that as well, but I think there are degrees of corruption. Critiquing corruption from a higher perspective is like a neccassary INTERIUM solution. Or you could be like Socrates and consciously die for truth.

I read it as existence as a form/ manifestation is already corruption which would include humans of course. Its a bit confusing to me though, are only thoughts meant by it or also physical objects? Like how can a rock (who is something) be corrupt and untrue from its soemthingness? For the mental realm it makes more sense though. But then I dont understand the following. Trying to make sense of reality in terms of concepts for example is a thing, as a concept is a thing. Yes the map is not the territory so whatever you speak about is a reference to something real and therefore not the real thing itself. So truth cannot be uttered and that might be absolutely true. But then there are some perspectives which are more true then other - or not? I guess the untrue perspectives are loaded with stuff while the more true perspectives try to say as little as possible but as much as necessary. Speaking in the direction of truth be like:

I felt a little sick the last couple of days. Interestingly though I kinda improve at socializing through that. My system just has less resources to work with and appearently oversensitivity takes up so much energy that it gets very noticable cut when I am sick. Not sure how that is for other people.

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

There are expensive microwaves with real steaming options not just imitations. They have an extra water tank and cost at least 500 dollars. Does anyone have it? How is the steaming option compared to normal steamers? How practical is it?

LMAO I didnt realize modern induction hobs can set a timer. Thank god for my decision making freeze that I havent bought one of these expensive microwaves. You can just put a timer on your cooking pot with the 10 dollar klocker within and you can steam your veggies just as comfortably.

I just read my own post again. This actually resonates a ton with me. I find that everybody is so inauthentic, often running after meaningless stuff, morally either a piece of shit or hypocritical, fake or manipulative.. and every role model is limited because you cant replicate something that was shaped in spirit because spirit is moving. So you gotta get to the source ultimately. And yes I like to understand God as well but its more like a side project I am WAY more interested in feeling God.

I think its interesting that I find my own mind weird. I mean its my mind, why dont I find every other mind weird instead? Well I guess it has to do with being a functional citizen to have this collective (common) sense of what is normal.

Political Take #1: So in most countries wealth is distributed very unequally. In America for example, there is a big difference in income, where a Ceo can earn about x10 as much as an averge worker but a way bigger difference in wealth where the difference can easily be x1000 of the amount. These are rough estimations of course, exceptional cases like an Elon Musk are even more extreme. If everybody in america would put their whole wealth in one pot and then the wealth would be distributed equally to everybody then everybody would have about half a million dollar. That would include children, non-worker, homeless people (everybody). Would that be fair? No, but it gives an important perspective of how much wealth there is. The magnitude of the wealth gap raises questions of equity. Even assuming some fortunes are fully earned, two structural points remain: 1) once you get rich you basically won monopoly and can just let your money work for itself, so no hard worker could ever catch up to you and 2) the wealth of the richest people is often not reinvested in the economy but dead money invested in stocks waiting to increase by itself. So policy steps are needed if people at the bottom are going to catch up. Some countries do a better job than others. Scandinavia is often held up as proof that more even distribution can still go hand-in-hand with a healthy economy. What should be noted however is that even if the economy takes a small hit from radical wealth redistribution, it would still be an incredible moral victory because the life quality of the mass increased significantly. And along with that the country becomes more stable which in a holistic view is also important for the economy because it could prevent future headaches like inner polarization, conflicts with other countries, ... which all hurt the economy as well. What prevents a country from doing major wealth distribution (besides plain corruption) is often that the very rich might just leave the country if the taxation is too much which would hurt the country itself, leaving no money left to redistribute. So that got me thinking: countries actually have a responsibility for taxing the rich (!) , because if they dont then they become low-tax havens that undermine the moral fabric and the tax bases of other nations. So to solve this there would need to be power measure that keep countries in check. One that came to mind was that there could be economic favors for countries which do stronger wealth distribution. For example countries with strong wealth distribution could have tarrif cuts while countries with bad wealth distribution get higher tarrifs. A third neutral party would be responsible for collecting the data and making suggestions based on transparent calculations. This would make it more beneficial for countries to redistribute their wealth even if some of the richest people in their country left. The more countries which would take part of this, the stronger the effect, the stronger the rich can get taxed. If everybody would be on board the only limit would be that it still needs enough of an incentive to start a biz. The problem however is that this would pose a thread to many corrupt countries where the rich and powerful are in power. So realistically this could maybe only be applied in parts of Europe and some other countries scattered around the globe which are socially progresse (stage green). So to really be effective basically the center of gravity/ the general mindset on earth would need to be progressive and egalitarian. Because most countries in the world arent, billionares still have way to many places to run. The seed however can already be planted and slowly be expanded when countries manage to catch up. Similar to other ideas like the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) or OECD “Pillar Two” 15 % minimum corporate tax.

My place for philosophical thoughts and spiritual insights.

For hypertrophy I would say its a bad idea but when you are looking for strengh gains it might be a different story. Powerlifter have relatively unique training schedules, look into that if thats your goal. 1 Set still seems very low though, you might just loose some muscle with that. You want to at least maintain the muscle and make central nervous system gains.

I felt like a changed men today. wtf - I am SHOCKED by how fast my mind can change.

Very interesting insights while I was contemplating with chatgt 4o. I asked it which personality types are most likely to follow philosophical, theological, or spiritual questions and how these personality types differ in their exploration on the subject - When I saw INTP – “The Metaphysical Analyst” which describes Leos teaching very well I think I felt like this was worthy to share.: 🧠💫 Most Spiritually/Philosophically Inclined Types: 1. INFP – “The Inner Seeker” Why they’re drawn: Deep need for personal meaning, moral truth, and emotional authenticity Style: Poetic, mystical, emotionally guided Themes: Goodness, suffering, soul, purpose Typical path: Journaling, poetry, ethics, mysticism, personal spiritual practice Wants to feel God or truth — not just define it. 2. INFJ – “The Visionary Mystic” Why they’re drawn: Seeks deep symbolic understanding of the world and human nature Style: Structured, symbolic, often influenced by psychology or archetypes Themes: Unity, transcendence, morality, collective soul Typical path: Jungian thought, mysticism, spiritual systems, religious studies Sees God in patterns, symbols, and inner transformation. 3. INTP – “The Metaphysical Analyst” Why they’re drawn: Fascinated by existence itself, truth, and logic Style: Abstract, skeptical, curious Themes: Ontology, consciousness, paradox, epistemology Typical path: Reading dense philosophy, theoretical theology, questioning belief systems Wants to understand God or truth — not necessarily believe in it. 4. INTJ – “The Rational Mystic” Why they’re drawn: Needs a coherent worldview, order in chaos, ultimate structure Style: Strategic, abstract, system-building Themes: Destiny, cosmology, ethics-as-system, spirituality-as-strategy Typical path: Structured theology, Stoicism, existentialism, sacred geometry, systems-based spirituality

I like it as well. Its just if I do the work myself its more connected to meaning and art but I am still at the process of finding that out.
