brother, your life is more important than your dating life.

Absolute Numbers? It's not good, we could convert into slavery percentage. Still USA will have upto .15%(500K), India have around .70%(with absolute numbers of 10M) But let's not dodge the bullet. Slavery is a real thing. Caste systems were signs of underdeveloped population. India and surrounding countires are very complacent. Conquering others/hustling is not one of those values of the major population. This have made them vulnerable to manipulation from within and outside. The values differ very much compared to the West. One of the lost values on hospitality is "Adhiti Dhevo Bhava": "Treat your guests like Gods". The reason most gurus are from India is not an accident. The land is very abundant. Those outside India have no clue about this, and I'm glad it is so. Hinduism as we know today is a diluted version of it. Hinduism is based around the land of Hindusthaan, not deities. Deities were an after effect of Tantra. Caste systems are false additions. But people are stupid enough to accept it. Caste systems were perversions at best. Plus, the path the true Hinduism was taking was not sustainable with what was going on outside and within India. It's similar to how Sapiens killed the Neanderthals: "If you're not like us, you shouldn't exist; let's even things out".

Why are you studying something you don't like. CS is impossible without passion. Also, why do you expect a degree to give you a job. It won't work like that. Going forward you have to be exceptional at what you do, especially high stake jobs like programming. Plus a degree is useless if you wanna learn programming. Just pick a project and start doing it.

me get money, me heppi😂, aye?

Here's a new story for you. Crypto is dog shit. But, if enough people believe in dog shit, even that can be sold for a high price. You bought some dog shit for $1,000 , ten years later, you sell your dog shit for $1,000,000. You've basically stolen $999,000 from whoever bought into your dog shit. The cycle continues until it's not sustainable anymore.

city isn't a normal place to be. don't normalize it. If you have the means, get out of cities, live in nature. The kind of damage cities do to you long term isn't worth it. You get desentized to so many things, your health can take a massive hit.

Lower Perspectives: Fear of Death, Survival as in Reproduce, Fear of Extinction Root Causes: how the chemicals in the body react, group think, lack of introspection

@Amannl3in The irony here... You're looking forward to get a degree because it secures your job, not your skill. Plus, the social approval of how you're doing it the expected way. The issue here is not the lack of resources, it's your own self imposed limitations. Perhaps you haven't realized how futile colleges are for these things. I don't recommend it. When you join college you'll be learning from internet, except this time you have a framework, on what to learn. This framework is something you can create for yourself, just focus on doing projects, just be crystal clear about what you wanna create. This can take a few years to get clear about this. There's nothing wrong with spending 10 years learning art and not getting anywhere. It basically goes to show art have made you chill. This is not a bad thing, it's a much needed unlearning, of the past and it's rush. --- Art, programming can take many years, and it can vary a lot for each individual. From what you've said, you've a very unfocused vision on what you wanna create, you were talking about interior design, next you mention graphite pencils, then illustrations. I'm not saying being a generalist is bad, not knowing what you wanna create is a recepie for failure in these endeavors. Don't take it literally, I just wanna emphasize something deeper here. You need a certain kind of ego to do it. If you're someone who's obedient and listens to everyone in your world, you can't make art. Only you get to decide what you wanna create, the more you're influenced from the outside, the lesser the art in your creations. Hangout with those who do similar things(and those who do something higher/difficult for you), Discord communities, make friends, help newbies, seek help yourself. Open Source Communities are the definition of Communities. All this while clearly knowing what you want to create.

Just stand firm, they don't know any better. The whole existence of politics is a cancer, right/left is just drama, albeit a transition is happening in people's minds. An illusion of choice, here, that's what most voters are in it for. Environment is vastly different for every individual, brothers who grow up in the same house can turn out quite different.

It's mostly self reinforced values. So, you asking them to accept something evolved, is basically like asking them to die.

Nah, they won't take Leo seriously, they might take a right winger seriously though. That goes to show convincing is pointless.

Yes, system rejects those who don't respect it's rules. But who cares? What's the point of getting approval from a mediocre system. Nope, the latter is far better (I'm just lying to annoy you). They're not different, but you won't see it unless you go the other side. And actively remove the social conditioning, and if you live in the West, you're doomed from the start. Just double down on the other side unless you see it clearly. Either way, do what you want, it's not about doing what's "the" best. It's about doing what you can do best, at this point in time. If you think the former is better, I'd tell you, you don't know any better. And that's fine. Just live it.

We can't force someone to grow, you can tell them where you stand, and at the same time, give them space to grow.

Of course not!

Very limited definition, slaves are those whose will is conditioned to be something just below their tolerance level, which is everything. You being in a human body is slavery, what if you wanted to be an actual bird?

And @Daniel Balan All domesticated animals became so after centuries of enslaving them from the wild. Technically they are slaves, but they are happy too. But that doesn't make animal rearing any less unethical, I mean, Leo certainly can't, but you can, until you can't anymore. Don't forget human beings are beasts too, they just use the other animals in a cunning, self-deceiving way. Humans have built just too many systems, collective and individual, to a point where they forget they are animals, and they forget killing a human is nothing different from killing a chicken. Of course we kill to eat, to survive, sometimes we eliminate other humans who are too troublesome, and stay(stuck?) in tribes known as countries. And everything humans do is an extension of their survival, even getting enlightened, is part of survival. If Leo doesn't realize the truth that animal rearing is slavery, it makes his life harder. And if you were to realize it, you won't be able to rear them anymore. Getting enlightened and animal rearing is just the same, don't pay attention to anyone who says otherwise.

I'm 22 Recently been thinking, how can anyone immersed in solipsism bring a child into a world. I mean, not unless they are bored.

I disagree. @gettoefl Monastic life is much better. Monastic life is the one of the real ways to go intense on whatever you value. You can't solve a problem from the same level of mind that created it.

@Ninja_pig I get it, Engineering is actually fun, I do like it. I was just verifying if it was a purely money based decision. Glad you have an affinity for it. About Narmada Parikrama. Tell me what you think about it. I think you'll find more info from people who actually do it. Checkout RaghuRaahi's instagram page. P.S - this is that time of the year, to go parikrama, we're a bit late.

Hey, we're the same age. I've had multiple awakenings, never touched a substance, doesn't follow any guru. If you haven't guessed, I'm from India, lucky in that regard. But doesn't matter where you're from, it's still a lot of work. I've known Leo when I was 16, and have found his content absurd/low consciousness at that point. But I've seen him grow over the years. I've only recently started spending time with all the important topics like Spiral Dynamics, like a year or two ago. I still find a lot of his content absurd. But hey, I can understand why it would be so. No judgement. It's just biases of where he lives in, societal karma. Just saying, you probably have the same blindspot and it's alright, I'll help out there a bit. What do I do? I'm basically a dropout, my goal at 19 was to pursue everything I have an affinity for, find out what works best for me. Not gonna spoil further. In short, my life unfolds in ways I've never planned and the way it unfolds is always something I could have never planned for. My point being, if you're living the high life, you can't predict what you'll become in the next 5 years, the journey is insanely rewarding. So it's absurd to think you'll postpone something till you're 40. I'm gonna answer your question based on everything you said. I can see your appeal for monkhood. Here's how I see it, if green doesn't happen you wanna go back to the stability of our Orange society. Not a bad "plan". But I have a feeling the Green won't happen well. Because you still wanna pursue Orange. And have strong roots in there. I'm pretty sure the people you know doesn't want you to be a monk, as much as you want it. Should you exhaust orange more or move on to grow further? The answer is totally up to you. If you have the means, take more time and try out everything. And I can already see you don't like the prospect of a normal job, and that's something commendable. But I'm lost here since you said you'd go into engineering. Again, all or nothing, huh? ---- Thoughts on monkhood. Don't be a monk in an organisation. It's just a monk businesses and learning Buddhism, beleive me you'll be disappointed fast. Be an independent monk, yeah, the real thing. Go full on, there's many who practice "Narmada Parikrama" and similar stuff. This only lasts a few months, it's about walking, long distance as a monk and being one with the nature, culture. You mostly stay in stranger's houses, food is mostly at the grace of strangers. And you should see the faces of these monks. Meditation can't hold a candle to this. This journey often transforms their whole life and life takes on an entirely different direction.

@Leo Gura He's a natural man, he just made sure to stay true to his values. I love how he doesn't conform to anything at all, given his time. And it's no accident most Enlightened people is in India. The land is so rich. And the rest of the world and even Indians aren't aware of it. It's hilarious.

I didn't like "reading" Mastery. I liked the core concepts and it can be learnt from less than 5 pages. Don't expect books to make you satisfied or knowledgeable. Just use the bits of wisdom as effectively to gain real knowledge, first hand experience. Don't cling to second hand knowledge. Do your thing.
