Hey been seeing it on the news too. Maybe the FBI says they don't know what these drones are in the case they are an adversary such as China so as not to spark tensions deeper. that is just a theory. If the FBI really doesn't know what these things are it's amazing. Why is it so hard for someone to find out where these things are flying in from and leaving to? Why is it they don't show up on any of our radar or radar like systems? That would be really advanced tech or maybe like Loveeee said ITS THE ALIENS jajajaja! PS: I recognise this is a very simplistic non holistic explanation but give me a break I'm not up for writing a detailed post about this subject.

Documentary Life in Random chinese Megacity, this one was absolutely awesome!

Yeah, I agree with you. We always try to do minimum 1 month in a country and the longer the better. Moving to and living in the country is best. Outside of travel I'm constantly watching hundreds of documentaries and reading books about countries, cultures, customs etc around the world to try my best to fill in the knowledge gaps and as I'm just not rich enough to travel to every country on earth ATM 😂

Thank you all for your advice 😊

Today such a beautiful thing happened. I cried as I was reflecting on how blessed I am to have the amazing life I have. All I could say was thank you in beetween the tears. 🙏 I am still smiling now as I head off to sleep.

Hey, Yeah it's possible. I'm 25 now and life is better than it's ever been. I realized my depression which I've suffered since my early teens came from not facing the things that would grow me the most, my self delusions and not having a life purpose. Now, slowly but steadily I face my shadows and fears and one day not long ago my life purpose came to me after I dedicated time to contemplate rather than being midlessly addicted to my phone and sleepwalking through life. Today something happened that's never happened to me before. I was crying because I was so thankful for all the blessings in my life. However it is constant working on myself that got me to this point so this is my answer. Moments of sadness come and go but life is more freeing now than ever before. All the best my friend and I hope you find what you are seeking 🙏

Hey everyone In March I'll be travelling to Vietnam for 3 weeks with my Family. I'm quite a seasoned traveler having traveled to many countries over the years. However most of the times I've traveled the experiences haven't been that meaningful and honestly I can watch documentaries about many touristic attractions if I want. What is your top advice on making travelling meaningful and enriching to my life, rather than mediocre like most tourists. What advice do you have that I can use in my travels to grow as a person? Previously I've done things such as staying with local host families and this was great for integration into the culture and facing new environments with people who have different values. This was great I think. Another thing I thought of is helping in a local NGO or project in my time there. I'm looking for general advice regardless of what country one is visiting. Thank you! 🙏

Relating to Leo's latest blog post on success, corruption and posibility for delusion a good case study is the following youtube channel run by Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai trump: https://www.youtube.com/@kaitrump Watch her videos and contemplate how disconnected they are from reality. This is not an insult to her as she was born into power and wealth but observe the petty problems and things she concerns herself with. I used to study in private elite schools where all the kids came from extremly wealthy families with sons of presidents and important figures. Her behavior very much reminds me of their behaviour. When your survival is taken care of and everyone in your enviroment keeps telling you you are great and amazing you end up believing your own bullshit and live in a bubble seperate from most normal people.

Good video on the poison in our everyday items...well filmed by the dude who made it, thanks for sharing 👍

Somewhat old but extremely intresting documentary about Korean culture.

@Carl-Richard I saw the interview and took what I found intresting and just moved passed what was in my opinion not a correct representation of reality. I wanted to ask you if you knew of any books to help better understand this concept of reasoning to ourselves. I know what you mean but wondered if there are any books out there on the matter of self deception.

It's out of your control. Respect her decision and accept the outcome whatever it may be.
