Yeah Yeah

@Basman Coffee isn’t a luxury for me — it’s a basic pick‑me‑up so I can keep grinding through work every day just to survive and avoid ending up homeless. If I had to, sure, I’d cut it, but it’s not like I’m splurging on yachts. It’s a drink, not a vacation home. I’ve been scrimping for months, money’s been tight, I can’t even afford a jar for a few days, and I’ve already cut back on almost everything else — even quit tobacco. But coffee for my work? Come on, that’s one I need.

Even if we look at history, how do we really know things like taxation existed the way we imagine, or how people survived—tragic or not? When did governments truly industrialize, centralize power, or commercialize people? I mean, monarchy wasn’t suburbia, 9–5 jobs, and taxes as we know them today. How much of what we learn is really evidence, and how much is just updated interpretations?

@Breakingthewall I’ve been wondering — how do any of us truly know there even was another era? Most of what we believe comes from textbooks or word of mouth. Similarly, how do we really know an atom is a tiny ball? All we have are the images and descriptions others have produced from experiments and theories. What do you think counts as real evidence for any of this?

@Leo Gura Hey Leo, big fan of your work and your concern for people. I really appreciate having this space where I can express ideas with like‑minded people — it’s genuinely helpful to get new perspectives. It’s also great to see you still popping up around the place, alive and active with your community. I’d like to ask you a couple of things: 1. If you were a billionaire or multi‑billionaire and had a strong scheme for making profits, would you personally give away your own money? Or would you see others as part of an illusion/solipsistic reality? In other words, do you believe reaching that level of success would naturally evolve you into someone with more compassion for others — recognizing that without them you wouldn’t be so profitable — or would it push you further into seeing everything as “just a dream”? 2. On the idea of the past. You often say we live better than kings of old. I agree in many ways. But isn’t that also, on some level, imaginative — not technically real in a meta sense? How do you think about the fact that we could have been born into any other time period? Does that imply free will at some ultimate level, or is it just random appearance? 3. On wealth hoarding. Do you disagree with extremely wealthy people hoarding billions? Do you think there should be a moral limit to what one person has, even if they argue they earned it from humble beginnings? Hasn’t wealth accumulation, at some level, always relied on other people’s backs? From a naturalistic view, no part of a living organism hoards resources at the expense of the rest — all organs work together. Do you think extreme wealth hoarding is fundamentally out of harmony with human nature? Would love to hear your perspective on these.

Pretty much trapped with torment on the spirit level and my life review at death will be guilt driven with possible unknown schitzoid no-take backs cosmic limbo loops afterwards ... And how do I push through life without needing for a labotamy or some super heavy sedative drugs to numb myself at the state of an animal.

@Aciddhartha I get what you’re saying because I’m in that same headspace. I also yearn for death sometimes, but what stops me is exactly what you’re describing — not knowing what’s on the other side. People talk about suicide like it’s a clean ‘escape,’ but when you’re honest about it, you realise it might be horrendous, messy, humiliating, even panic‑filled at the moment of dying. And then, if there is something after death, it could be infinite madness with no take‑backs. So you end up in this bind: told to ‘appreciate the now’ while sitting in a mouldy bedroom, broke no matter how much you budget, watching the world burn in a trash bucket. You can’t wish your life away, but you can’t really live it either. It’s like being held between two walls — you see everything clearly, but there’s nowhere to move. Some days I feel like I’d need a lobotomy just to make the bind stop. I’m saying this not to be dramatic but because I think it’s the honest reality for people like us.

@Elliott I edited what I said read it again please - guys I'm 28 not an angsty 16 year old having a bad week because mum took away my Xbox controller

Sex isn’t just sex — it’s the oldest, cheapest drug. It’s chemically addictive, socially priceless, and brutally easy to exploit. Anyone — even a broke, unstable teenager — can create life tomorrow. A girl can open her legs, a guy will hump a jar of peanut butter if he’s horny enough, and boom: a new human who never asked to be here. That power is practically unregulated. But try to leave? Try to end your own existence after years of pain or poverty? Suddenly there are gates, judges, hotlines, morality cops. That’s not an accident. Keeping birth easy but exit impossible is the perfect control system: people are born whether or not they’re wanted, then trapped inside a society that can exploit them as workers, soldiers, consumers, and taxpayers. Legalising assisted exit wouldn’t just be about individual relief — it would blow a hole in that power structure. But if we don’t also question how sex and reproduction are weaponised as tools of control, the system will just pivot — sell intimacy, ration belonging, and still keep people on a leash. True freedom means the right to enter life responsibly and the right to leave it with dignity, without the state or market holding you hostage.

@Elliott Looks like they really care about their pack… I wonder how much of that is instinct and how much might be closer to what we’d call mourning. They don’t seem to ponder death, reincarnation, or whether their loved ones go to hell, limbo, or heaven — kind of wish I had that kind of natural, slightly ignorant awareness.

@Elliott I call bullshit, why can so many people be murdered, starved, homeless, killed, abortions and yet it's posted on the news, media or the streets and people scroll on by like it'll never happen to them? That's not true or there'd be people pro actively minimising circumstances that would drive a person to end themselves; however that level of compassion can not be expected from strangers, not even shared blood. Animals will kill each other in the wild, their hearts don't break. Sounds more like a personal social construct to make yourself feel more polite than to think oneself as animal which farts and shits and whipes himself clean with your best hand you make food with.

@Elliott I don't know you man, like this isn't a teeny tumbler thread but a literal loaded question and dead serious I need answers, there should be legalised government assisted suicide outside of just being a terminally ill patient so people should have the right to exit, at the same time more spiritual philosophical ground works about what happens after such a decision needs less taboo and more open conversation

Am I allowed to kill myself? Is death liberation?

I was badly addicted to weed like the habit did not gel with social housing or work expectations or with the law or housemates and yet I was totally hooked like I'd want to self destruct if I got close to empty on weed

I've been thinking lately about how completely insane this world is when it comes to what we call "morality." A broke teenager gets shamed for having sex, smoking weed to cope, or needing help just to eat. But some ghoul who owns six luxury homes, pays minimum wage to workers, dodges taxes through loopholes, and lounges around while others grind for their survival—they’re celebrated. They're on the cover of Forbes. They're “inspiring.” They get books written about them. Society calls them successful. How the f*ck is that normal? Everything is upside down. If you're poor, society shames everything you do. If you're rich, society forgives everything you do. Need help from Centrelink or welfare? Shame. Struggling with addiction because reality sucks? Shame. Never had sex or love and you're almost 30? Shame. Can’t afford a dentist, can’t find peace, can’t wake up from this simulation? Shame. But if you exploit workers, hoard billions, corrupt markets, and get rich off the suffering of others? You're “ambitious.” You get invited to speak at conferences. You get to be admired. What god is this system worshipping? Not justice. Not truth. Not love. It’s power and profit—that’s the real religion. Even old-school religious shame (like sex before marriage) gets more airtime than the real spiritual obscenity: One person owning the wealth of 10,000 lifetimes. That should be taboo. That should be blasphemy. That should be shamed at the gates of heaven. But no—it's normalized. Institutionalized. Sanitized. It infects everything: school, religion, family, government. They preach “personal responsibility” to the poor… while the ultra-rich torch entire economies and walk away with bonuses. It’s rot baked into the architecture. And if you point this out, you’re either labeled a conspiracy theorist or dismissed as bitter. But I see it. And I know others do too. I don’t want to pretend this is fine. I don’t want to spiritual-bypass it away. This isn’t just an economic issue—it’s a soul issue. And I'm sick of pretending otherwise.

@Natasha Tori Maru You've not watched this episode? I've seen it like half a dozen times or maybe more

I have to make this clear - Leo literally teaches how you (or me more specifically since I know I do exist) but let me hypothesize that you reading this are the dreamer (while even Leo says I'm dreaming him and he is not real like all others) but essentially he literally teaches how you as the dreamer (me because I'm aware) is literally the only experiencer in existence and everyone else is pure imagination and do not have their own experiences. He literally says I am the only one in existence and other people are imagination. Crazy right

@Someone here that ain't love, I know how shitty hookup culture has been, I'd rather die than to humiliate myself by waiting my turn in line behind "men" like you to finally get my dick wet at 30 to a Bonnie blue

@Someone here I'm not fucking whores folks like you have already finger banged in their prime and I should be happy with sloppy 8ths

@theoneandnone I keep hearing the same line from spiritual teachers, gurus, channelers, even NDE reports: “Human life is the toughest school in the universe.” Out of infinite possible realities the Godhead could dream up — this one, this Earth, this short, shitty human lifespan — is supposedly the hardest one? And we’re supposed to be grateful for that? To see it as some divine gift? Really? Because I’ll be straight with you — this “school” hasn’t taught me love. Not really. It hasn’t exactly made me more compassionate, more open, or more whole. Instead, it’s taught me how to suffer. How to endure endless pain. How to live with rejection, abandonment, and isolation. How to hate myself. How to become cruel. People say, “Oh, but that’s the curriculum! You learn through suffering.” No. If the point of school is to teach love, then this is a failed curriculum. What I’ve learned isn’t love — it’s bitterness, brokenness, and how fragile life can feel when you’re treated like you don’t matter. And don’t come at me with “be grateful, life is a blessing.” This life doesn’t feel like a blessing. Most days it feels like dragging myself through dogshit, smearing it on the wall, pretending it’s art. A cosmic joke where you’re supposed to smile while your guts are burning. So my question is: if this really is the toughest school in all existence, where the fuck is the payoff? Where’s the transformation into love, wholeness, anything beyond endless trial by fire? Because from where I stand, this “toughest school” is just turning people into harder shells, not radiant beings.

I’ve been thinking about how society regulates dangerous substances but ignores the biggest one of all: reproduction. Anyone, regardless of mental health, stability, or resources, can create a new human being. There are laws around who can drink alcohol, buy cigarettes, or take certain medications. But sex and childbirth — acts that literally create an entire lifetime of suffering, responsibility, and risk — are treated as unregulated, private “rights.” This creates a contradiction. On one hand, governments say they’re here to protect people from harm (seatbelt laws, drug laws, workplace safety). On the other hand, they allow unlimited reproduction, even when the outcome is poverty, neglect, or more children born into cycles of trauma. From an antinatalist perspective, bringing new people into existence is never a necessity. Nobody is harmed by not being created. But once a person is born, they inevitably experience harm. That’s why thinkers like David Benatar argue it’s “better never to have been.” So if governments are serious about preventing suffering, why not treat reproduction the same way we treat addictive or dangerous substances? Require licensing, screening, or even discourage it altogether — and at the same time, give people the freedom to opt out through legalized assisted dying. Otherwise, we’re stuck in a system where anyone can force life into being, but no one is allowed to freely exit it.

@Someone here why is there not a wake up switch except to have to die, and if that's the case then I should have painless options that are humane than to drag on through this shit people prop up called 🙌 life

@Someone here Unconditional love white light bliss is better than being a shitty limited rot of a human fuck humanity I hate being on Earth when I could instead be god mode and create whole new worlds, universes and realities to explore

Camus said the first philosophical question is whether or not to commit suicide. I’ve been thinking about this deeply. From my own perspective I experience life as profoundly painful and alienating — I often feel hatred toward the human condition and wish I’d never been born. Philosophically and ethically, should someone who feels this way but isn’t terminally ill have the right to opt out through legal assisted dying? Should antinatalism be taken more seriously as a policy position? I’m interested in hearing thoughtful perspectives on this rather than platitudes.

And then we can develop superpowers and be superheroes

@yetineti why do you ask I mean why does anyone do anything, is there even free will - that's what I'm doing questioning
