You come from a dogmatic point of view of what's worthy for humanity. There are many people whose work was discovered decades or centuries later and only then inspired other people. Even the definition of "contribution" and "service" is instrumental in nature. A Van Gogh painting has zero direct value to blind people. What's good for some people is useless or even bad for others. Your utilitarian view on what people should seek is the root of many of our current problems. But you lack nuance and self-awareness to understand that value and sensemaking are collective human efforts and that the existence of both pragmatic people and idealistic ones is a feature of our species, exactly because we seek material survival. Your emotional response also contradicts your statement of emphasizing emotional control and rationally handling the world. But I guess is too lofty of me to expect people on internet forums not to be hypocrites. Grow up before talking to people in places where your views can be challenged because they're going to be.

That's a very mechanical worldview. This can be as unconscious as blindly painting your way through life because that's what you're passionate about. You can be wildly successful at something that you think is important and doesn't mean shit in the long term, or worst of all, contributes to the worsening of society. Think of investment bankers that guarantee many jobs in mega-corporations, but also screw millions of people worldwide? Is his mastery good or bad? Is the hippie guy surviving selling artisanal honey in some way contributing less to society? The metric you set here is open and, in the end, arbitrary. People that follow their passions often not only do so simply for self-interest, but also because in their worldview, they're doing the best they can for "the hive".

What is the mark of psychosis of the man trying to handle the situation in his house?

It's the same thing as playing Fifa and playing soccer. Guitar Hero and playing a song. If you can 100% cliffs of dover in guitar hero, you're a video game addict. If you can nail it down in the guitar, you're a hell of a guitarist. If you can orgasm watching porn, you're just a dude that knows how to touch his worm. If you can make a woman orgasm 5 times, you know how to have sex. Two different categories of similarly related things.

This man is an angel. The level of patience he was able to maintain is inhumane.

I'm referring to alcohol tolerance, not weight. Most people would feel a slight dizziness from it. Some people would be straight drunk. You saying that you didn't feel a thing is rare.

If you thought that half a bottle of Vodka is weak, you have an hell of a body, my dude.

How many people would be developed enough in the Podcast space to talk about these themes? Maybe Rogan, he enjoys those kind of speeches.

One friend of mine had an awakening on lsd and Doctor Strange. So I guess it's not all that bad.

Bolivian girls paint their toenails too.

When will people realize these movies became a shameless cash grab, simply because fans will watch these things anyway? There were well produced marvel movies, but they're no longer around.

I don't think things are that simple. I would like to have the type of funeral you described, but different people have different needs.

No one criticizes you. We're just talking about your ideas. I have plenty to work on in my worldview too. This is about politics, not about Danio.

You didn't hurt me at all. If anything, you're the one looking hurt, judging by this response. I just tried to point to you a different perspective. Also, try to understand that there's no separation between form and content. You cannot have one without the other. I just tried to point to you how you associate the value of an author you don't even know the work of, with the value you ascribe to someone that read that author. I don't even like Elon Musk, I was just pointing out to you not to throw out the baby with the bath water. Read Dostoevsky if you have some time. It is great.

You just have a bias against the drug. MDMA is a very useful substance done right. I can't talk from experience, but from what I gathered, the issue is not tied to race per se, but immigrants in Europe are not adapting to European culture too well.

I see mastery as the technical capability of someone. Mastery refers to the will to improve oneself. Excellence is the search for perfection in terms of results. Very close, but mastery is more internal and excellence is external. As per our lord and savior, GPT: Mastery implies a comprehensive understanding and expertise in a particular subject or field, while excellence focuses on consistently achieving exceptional performance or results. Mastery often requires a deep level of knowledge and continuous learning, while excellence can be attained by consistently surpassing expectations and delivering outstanding outcomes.
