Its not really about holding people accountable as much as it is about the catharsis of tearing someone down. There are plenty of rich people who have done much worse but they never get singled out because they are more or less anonymous. Drama slop and smear campaigns is just a business. This doesn't even really affect the career of someone like MrBeast anyway at the end of the day. He'll keep making his money. Soon enough, people will move on like nothing even happened. Its like when an bull elephant starts to grow weak and little vultures starts to pick at it with ever increasing voracity and boldness until the bull finally falls and they just go to town with it. Too insignificant and weak to kill a bull so they prey on the moment it shows weakness.

True. Its worth reading certain books multiple times.

The current state of social media is so voraciously drama hungry. Like a flock of vultures, as soon as someone who is in the famous or interesting to talk about slips up, you immediately get put on blast. People didn't like MrBeast because he's rich in his early 20s and where just waiting for a reason. Any reason to feel superior. It is no wonder people like to put this pious and morally high-strung appearance on the internet. Such a nasty atmosphere.

I think the worst thing you can criticizing MrBeast's behavior for is manipulating young children and neurodivergent people with gambling tactics. "Watch my stream and you might win a Lambo", etc. His chocolate only sells because of his Willy Wonka ticket scheme. Its essentially gambling for kids.

I think people find the word "alien" distracting and it makes them think of Paul. Wouldn't "non-human" consciousness be more accurate?

Polarity is attractive. If you are plenty masculine already your life would probably be enriched by the beauty and softness of femininity.

The best self-help book is the one you learn from and more importantly the one who's concepts and advice you integrate into your life. Mastery is a great book because its concept is relatively simple but impactful (long-term effort and reward > short-term effort and reward). In my experience, you only really integrate one or two concepts/advice from any given book read. Mastery is mostly all about just this one concept.

Reddit is such a cesspool of group think and censorship. Yeah, a lot of users here think they are a lot smarter than they really are but at least they don't have the power to effectively silence others over simple disagreements.

This topic kind of reads like a bisexual projecting their orientation unto the world.

The crux of the matter is just overinflated expectations in my opinion. Tech bros spin up hype to garner investment and we are still learning how to exactly use this technology in practice. The possibilities are not actually endless but they can appear such with a little imagination. We might be starting to cross the peak of overinflated expectations right now.

I find it fascinating how a lot of diseases or symptoms of diseases are essentially the body acting on itself. I love that analogy relating to these orgs.

There are a lot of low hanging fruit that the American government could implement to raise the standard of their police. For instance, there is no federally mandated training minimum. Bad and corrupt policing is due to a lack of resources and investment into quality policing in my opinion. People tend to meet the bare minimum of the standard set for them.

If voting didn't matter than the UK wouldn't have left the EU. Brexit was terrible for business and was the result of nationalistic and xenophobic fervor.

Some people are attracted to animals. Does that mean that everyone who is not openly into bestiality is just lacking experience/being close minded?

How do you tell if someone is worth marrying? Or vice-versa, when is marrying a trap?

I think marriage can be a great thing. Apparently marriage benefits men more even. At least health wise for whatever reason. Marrying the wrong person certainly is a trap though.

Today's culture is so obsessed with productivity. I don't think farmers during the middle ages had anxiety about whether or not they where productive enough. Makes you questioning how much of the things we think we should accomplish via productivity are actually genuinely important if you have to make yourself do them as opposed to feeling naturally compelled to. We live in the most prosperous and comfortable age in human history and I think we are just kind of looking for problems to solve to keep ourselves busy a lot of the time or we feel shame about not being productive enough for cultural reasons. That said, if you wish to be more productive, the best thing you can do is get rid of your phone/computer. Or at least find ways to block your wifi and apps. Social media and the internet are the biggest sources of distraction in our modern world.

Religion is just a cult that sprung up after certain mystical individuals passed away in many cases. The purpose of religion is to arrest people's perception and to proliferate itself as a culture. Mystical experiences is something else in my opinion.

Of course religion is going to posit reality as a problem that only they have the solution for. Its awfully convenient. If not, what is the point of religion and faith in the first place?

Original sin culture perhaps. Plus, depression is a lower form of insanity in my opinion. It distorts your perception of reality to make you feel sorry for yourself.

Life is just limited. Not some sort of divine punishment. Who is being punished and why? And by whom? It makes no sense. Depression is a state where you focus your attention on how bad it is to be you. It is in a sense a self-centered emotional state. Thinking life is a punishment is just that. It is certainly possible to have a bad life but that doesn't mean that this realm is itself inherently bad.

He has some good advice but would probably make for a bad couch. He is not very cushy I think.

How do you do breathwork?

Did you also give up standard of living?

To break an addiction you need to think that you are not missing out on anything by no longer feeding the addiction. What are the costs of your addictions?
