Schizophonia

I respond in my eddit People who ruminate a lot have a high degree of anxiety. It causes anxiety, but anxiety also makes you want to ruminate; it goes both ways, it's a vicious cycle. Anxiety: an egocentric echo chamber. Again, this isn't necessarily conscious, because we tend to only recognize high levels of anxiety (the anguish, the knot in the stomach) and suppress low-grade anxiety. Compulsive thoughts, rumination, even OCD symptoms are all forms of moderate anxiety.

Yes The choice of words betrays a bias; you are talking about decadence. Yes but there it is; you assume an idealistic cause and me a social one. Perhaps people would be happier if they could regularly go out and have drinks with friends, play sports, and generally engage in leisure activities. But for that you need time and money, and people also need not to be too neurotic/socially anxious. And why are people neurotic and socially anxious? How do we fix that? These are also social problems. I'm saying it was probably the same thing for the tribes and more primitives nations/peoples in general, and you yourself have implicitly admitted that the tribes could be warlike, at least partly for social reasons; because indeed in Germany in the 5th century BC there wasn't much to eat lol and so they had to defend their bread. So not out of idealism ("tribal thinking"). And it's probable that idealism in general is a form of coping mechanism for people at the bottom of the social hierarchy, or who unconsciously think they are (neurosis), but that's just speculation. Btw the evolution of human mental structures is indeed correlated with the evolution of technology and therefore indirectly with socio-economic structures/conditions.

And you you confound intelligence with anxiety. An anxious person will have a stronger ego, and indeed will therefore be less open. Anxiety is not the same as "stress" in the sense of having a knot in your stomach; it's more about the intensity of mental chatter, the obsessiveness.

It's called being not autist

Yes but here it's not about being objective like a historian, but about trying to prove to oneself that there was a more glorious era "in line with our true nature", and that therefore history is a progressive decline; as I said above, it's really Heideggerian. Nietzsche too, of course, he's really into that kind of delirium, but similarly Nietzsche was also basically a kind of loser who was bored; you just have to look at his biography. Marx and Engels were really quite strong and pleasure-loving men, the same goes for Victor Hugo (an activist, not an ideologue) in France, who frequented prostitutes extensively and even defended them, lol; many prostitutes even came to pay their respects at his funeral. The same is true for Jean Jaurès, he was relatively active. I'm talking about them because I know them fairly well; but these people were humanists and socialists, while the guys who glorify violence and primitivism are mostly just strange guys.

It's a profession, a job, regardless of the prerequisites. But yes there is a cult-like aspect to it. Okay but all these people no longer exist; they have been eliminated or eclipsed by more rational agents.

Don't get frustrated defending a supposed mental structure that has been eliminated from history; i never attaqued and will attack you personnaly. I suppose people get interested in this kind of thing when they're bored, that's why I talked about those guys because they're really the archetype of conservative bourgeois people who are bored with their lives and therefore start fantasizing. When you have a fulfilling social life, you no longer give a damn about these delusions and generally you become less conservative. Or rather, when you acknowledge your social needs; otherwise they are repressed (considered "forbidden") and you need an excuse (all of this is unconscious) to satisfy them; and this excuse involves submitting to a delusional, fascinating, generally reactionary system, even if this mindset may perhaps (undoubtedly?) exist among "queer" leftists.

It depends a lot on the tribes; when I was in high school I read a collection of history books and there was one that talked about tribes; there were even "agnostic" tribes; there was really all sorts of things. but in the meantime all the most warlike tribes have disappeared. The Iroquois and most North American tribes have disappeared, the Aztecs were so unbearable that all the surrounding tribes rushed to side with the Spanish, the Incas have disappeared, the Vikings have disappeared and were gradually assimilated or exterminated in the former colonies in Great Britain and France, the Huns have disappeared, the Mongols are now a ridiculous power. They all died because when you live in a state of belligerence and delusion, or simply due to a nomadic lifestyle, the population is generally small and you regularly end up in intertribals war; or against other nations. For somewhat the tacit same reason (preservation/restoration of a primordial way of thinking closer to nature blablabla) Heidegger lowkey supported Nazism; but then Nazism created the biggest conflict in history, and now Germany is a minor power that is being ethnically replaced by non-whites (I say this without hatred, I'm not a white supremacist). The Celtic tribes were barbaric by our standards but not particularly warlike by the standards of the time, and the samurai were not a tribe or a nation but a profession in a completely sedentary and modern society.

@Breakingthewall It looks like a René Guenon or Evola's delirium. In reality people are busy surviving and interacting with their families or friends Including in nomadic tribes, even though they have their own spirituality.

Simply use the other person for pleasure; imagine people, especially women, as objects to touch/manipulate, to play with, as long as you're not breaking the law; so from now on what the other person thinks doesn't matter, take what you want to take and if the other person doesn't want to, go somewhere else. For socio-historical-patriarchal-whatever reasons, men have less self-love than women and tend to act in a more ego-driven/neurotic way, in other words masochistic way; so you might tell yourself, "Oh, that went well, but she friend-zoned me!" but in reality, you're the one pretending the relationship was more significant than it actually was. People here are a bit misogynistic and claims that women are "illogical" are actually masochistic people, and it's fortunate that women are less receptive to this mindset; it serves as a safety valve.

Ok Me i am Gemini with Virgo rising and Moon in Leo, and I have a life path number 7; nice to meet you. Yes I have aunts in those domains 😏

I was saying that I share my mentor's opinion on all these kinds of sciences (astrology, numerology, palm reading, tarot, etc.); I'm against all these paradigms because it's restrictive. But actually in principle (non duality all that) I'm not against them, It's more of an "yes but".

It’s my Gemini side

You can judge a tree by its fruit. It's probably partly because I'm already very open-minded, but giving psychedelics so much weight, even considering them equal to or superior to psychotherapy is in my opinion delusional I don't believe it for a second. You can have good insights under the influence of psychedelics, but it's rare, it depends on the psychedelic, and it requires a significant intellectual effort during and after the trip.

I can but I don't know what I could debate with him; It's @Emerald i should debate with, In addition she has a habit of filming herself. I'll put on my best tuxedo suit bow tie to pick up that fat vegan hen. -"Zooo Ehmehwald...😏🚬 " Takes a drag of Marlboro Red before giving the camera a lewd look, a bit like Serge Gainsbourg -"Zoh we’re eet-ing tofu eh ? 😏🚬" He gives a lewd look, but even more of a dirty one. And then boom I process to deconstruct all his vegan nonsense and his heavy Jungian software.

Freewill exists as an illusion, a sleight of hand, like everything else in Maya. Every phenomenon that seems real from a certain point of view falls apart from a different point of view; whether it be free will, time, truth, etc.

I'd rather kiss a combat helicopter; combat helicopters don't treat you like an idiot. One day I'd like to visit some Air Force base and be able to cry while hugging one of those beautiful machines; you know you're truly conscious when the only thing you can still love is a Teflon thing that fires rockets.

I'm one of the few on this forum who's gone through countless shits and gone from being the most neurotic guy alive to one of the most serious and self-aware people I know in a decade. I brought back the concept of the mirror effect and psychoanalysis to understand people; Leo doesn't, and what Leo says in his videos about social relationships is essentially empty. All of this was possible thanks to trauma and suffering, not even particularly to effort. Psychedelics brought almost nothing; people who say psychedelics changed their lives are essentially lying, as I've already explained. 24 people said yes but all these people are ordinary; they do not present any demonstration of particularly significant evolution, they do not even create any particular concept; it's really custard tart. I'll change my mind when a significant number of people show me that their life was crap and it turned out great, or simply that they became extraordinary, magically thanks to psychedelics.

He must have taken a huge amount.

I remember he made a video where he criticized Owen

Indeed he would probably look better thinner lol When you feel ugly, especially after experiencing really negative things, you cling to anything and everything you have power over. Not just ugliness, but a general lack of power; hence why people end up like gym rats, or stuck in strange rabbit holes about nutrition, politics, and scrupulous topics like that.

Yes ofc, your personality can change a lot with experience.

It was nothing. Who said you couldn't have both a big baguette and a big brain

The moment you say "I want" you no longer have it

No intelligent women don't go with stupid men. Unless in your opinion being non-neurotic is stupid. I'm talking about neurosis because in neurosis, the "law of the father" isn't integrated/assimilated, which generates a repressed "castration anxiety" in the unconscious. The personality structure, centered on the struggle against castration anxiety (unconscious), creates a kind of crypto-homosexual, masochistic, weak-willed behavior. Normally, when you interact with a woman or another man, it's to be sensual; to lower your own vigilance/stress and that of others; particularly with a woman, it's usually the woman who transfers her anxiety onto the man. You embody the law of the father, the phallus, which through its virility (physical, humorous, financial; it can be anything), will channel the woman's anxiety and even possibly your own, although this is more true with other men. In obsessive-compulsive neurosis, there is an (unconscious) conflict with the paternal figure and the law in general; or at least this was the case at an early age, and the personality was structured around the fear generated by the law. Because the neurotic does not accept the law, they are in a relationship of submission to the law (hence the prevalence of BDSM among neurotics), and their value system is structured around this phenomenon. Hence the fact that many men, particularly those in self-absorbed niches (personal development, religion, nutrition...)—which attract neurotics—regret that it doesn't work to pick up women (or, again, men, in the case of friendships) by being boring, politically correct, uninteresting, bringing up tiresome topics, etc. The idea isn't to give pleasure and receive it, but to be so convinced that giving oral sex is good that I suppose it's seductive to show that I'm a good one. "Oh look what I'm putting myself through, I'm a good boy." But that's not intelligence, that's autism. People (not just women!) like intelligent people, not autistic people. Oh it's the complete opposite. I don't know if it's still your "software" since you were criticizing Scandinavians for a lack of masculinity, but if it is I sincerely hope (and I include myself in this, if I'm talking about this it's certainly because I'm still more or less in a mirror; i only talk to myself) that reality will come and shatter this neurotic software so that we can finally be joyful and playful (and attractive 😏). We're sick of "oh my god, I'm so powerful and a very self-aware good boy who tortures himself with psychedelics, if only women could recognize my greatness, blackpill blackpill, oh my god." ouf. Me I call that good news
