  1. You are tripping HEAVY. Many people post duplicate videos in different threads. How the hell Cardozzo was supposed to know you posted the same video on a thread 5 days ago? Have some common sense.
  2. Imagine claiming ownership over media you didn't produce.
  3. Sometimes it is just a way to not take yourself too seriously or create a big ego. If you come back, I'll show you some nice places around. Rio has a lot of beautiful places to be.
  4. Those are the best types of advice. Step-by-step explanations usually lack principles. Principles usually lead to the right steps.
  5. I think you spend too much energy in deconstructing what's being said, instead of adopting the actual point of view of the person saying the thing, and therefore expanding your knowledge in a way that no amount of words can teach you. Again, Schmachtenberger is trying to give a summary of the main lessons he received in a lifetime of coexistence with his father. You can't put years of a relationship into bullet points without heavily simplifying things. Still a useful tool for contemplation. Because words can only point to the truth, not be the truth itself. I can give 300-hundred pages long description of coffee and that book wouldn't be coffee itself. It would only describe or help people recognize coffee, but that will only happen through the physical experience of getting in touch with coffee. In the case of the points, they're pointing to values and systems that Schmachtenberger would like to point to, but that can only be ultimately understood through personal experience or contemplation. He's pointing, but the importance is in what being pointed, not the pointer. I have no idea what this question is questioning.
  6. Again, you're taking things too literally. This is a distilled version of a lifetime of advice and lessons. He's pointing at the truth, you're looking at the finger. It is impossible to fully develop these points without writing many, many books on the subjects.
  7. There are plenty of reports all over the world.
  8. I wasn't ready for psychedelics until psychedelics made me ready for them.
  9. Is this your first heartbreak? Seems like it. Don't worry. This will heal.
  10. I only joked when I copied her famous motto. I have respect for her, she can be really intelligent in some takes, but sometimes takes things too literally or seriously. I just wanted to have a laugh with the situation, not the person.
  11. Okay, let me try to help you. It was a simple auto-deprecatory joke. Don't read too much into it. Maybe Recurso Inominado was trying to show his respects to an old man that can handle being the US president in his 80s. The meme was sent to me. He was thanking me for pointing out that you're taking too seriously what people are saying in a joking fashion. I and Recurso Inominado are from Brazil. We were just laughing at this whole situation.
  12. Brazilian irony is too advanced in other developmental factors like Spiral Dynamics stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types/traits, states of consciousness and modes of being and modes of becoming, 9 stages of ego development and shadow aspects of the psyche, life experiences and other lines of development, other ideological beliefs and indoctrinations from upbringing and culture for regular people to understand.
  13. Can't you infer this from the post he wrote? The only reason he would point out a specific age is that although not as old as Biden, he's impressed at his stress-handling skill. Indeed, the vast majority of 31-year-olds couldn't handle being the US president.
  14. You have an orange shadow the size of Trump's forehead looming behind you.
  15. You basically turned every statement of Recurso Inominado's post into its question form. The first question would be easily answered by yourself if you thought about it. He is simply talking about his current age. I understand you try to get an accurate understanding, but I just find it curious how you go about it in such a blunt and literal way.
  16. There are plenty of sightings around the world. Americans usually don't look too much outside their own bellies to research them, although there are American Ufologists who do travel and search for them outside.
  17. I am always so baffled as to how literally you can take things.
  18. Every mammal feels pain. I don't see how is a moral imperative to reduce pain. This just seems cheap utilitarian thinking to me.
  19. Your point can easily be expanded to include plants and rocks. From god's POV, the ground you step on or the toilet you shit in has no lower right to safety and dignity than a cow. You feel bad because the animal moos when you destroy it. Plants would do it too, if they could. You're eating yourself. And you be eaten too. Don't be so nervous about this.
  20. You should work on your attention span. And listening to stuff at 2x is bad for that.
  21. What would I have to say about it? Old people fall all the time.
  22. You take things too literally. Do you have any degree of autism? I don't mean as an offense, I want to communicate better with you from now on. A macro is a key you press on your keyboard that automatically does an action on your computer. In this case, type your spiral dynamics speech.
  23. You incorrectly assume that the US knows what's good for the world. Its only concern is itself.
  24. Give me the number of your dealer. I wanna get high on whatever you smoke to come to this forum.
