I agree. I actually found it more attractive when my boyfriend backed off from a group of dudes trying to instigate with us while passing by in narrow alley downtown… I would have been so pissed at him and stressed out if he escalated in that situation.

@Kairos As someone who has dated an amateur MMA fighter/trainer…definitely not important. My boyfriend now is a supervisor at a hospital though, so I guess I am attracted to leadership in some sense…more so anyone who has a dedicated passion of any sort. Though I was also once deeply in love with a guy who had zero going on for him(besides being really good looking ofc), even getting banned from DoorDash…but he was amazing at being himself. He was passionate about life itself and highly contemplative. We could talk for days on end, barely sleeping. He turned me down though lmao.

I had a younger 20’s female roommate once. She donated eggs at least 2x while living with me, and even though the money seemed worth it, the process looked difficult. She had to do hormone injections in the lower abdomen everyday…personally I don’t mind getting tattoos, but for some reason needle injections freak me out. She injected them herself too…definitely couldn’t do that to myself. She also had pretty severe emotinal breakdowns from the hormones. Once she came home crying because she thought her boyfriend died in a car accident…only because he didn’t text her back for a few hours. She completely fabricated that in her mind, nothing connected to reality. She was not like that normally without the hormones. The egg extraction process is another story that is a nope from me too.. Too many downsides for me as a female personally.

Just watched the video....don't know anything about mrgirl but it doesn't look good... tbf the video made on Leo didn't make him look good either, but I've watched the majority of Leo's vids beforehand so his view of him didn't phase or make me question anything about Leo. Idk what I would think if I didn't know anything of Leo beforehand though.

So... after this getting drowned by celery juice in the comments, has anyone tried this yet? I have 2 best friends that I'd love to share this with.

No kids.

My guy friend and I talked about his gambling addiction while we were on LSD recently, and he made some good progress during the trip in realizing he doesn’t want to do it anymore. I told him the thought of gambling never crosses our minds in my girl friend circles…we talk about long-term financial growth and goals vs short-term typically. Maybe the male ego feels the need to fast-track financial success more…whether innately or due to societal pressures. Literally the next day though, the thought of stopping was laughable to him, so it didn’t quite stick…I have trouble talking to him seriously about it though because of my own life experiences of it..

My parents are card dealers at casinos…grew up around it my entire life. In early childhood my dad had a gambling addiction that involved taking thousands from the shared bank account that was being used to save for a house. Lotttss of tension and loud fights between my parents that I had to witness as a young kid. Today he’s not an addict…but they both still spend every major holiday, birthday, and anniversary at a casino playing. Yes, including Christmas. I went with them in my adult life many times, but backed out now that I have a boyfriend so I can make excuse to not go. It’s absolutely miserable seeing all of these people spend Christmas at a casino…lots of lonely people playing cards at the table feels a bit strange. Especially when so many bring their young kids that now the rules of them being of the slot machine floor don’t exist. Parents playing the slot while the kid is sitting on the floor next to them playing on their tablet. Again, on Christmas. Currently have multiple guy friends who are active addicts. One unfortunately lives near Las Vegas…spending unemployment checks there. His best friend is a BMW car dealer, making loadsss of money. Yet he is in the negative due to casinos as well. Not sure I could find the “spirituality” anywhere there in any of that… Whenever I go to Las Vegas, I prefer going to Area 15 on mdma haha. Have spent $20 total there in gambling, not my thing. I will say that casinos have a lot of trippy, psychedelic, spiritual looking art…to maybe unconsciously influence people that they are in good place…

Man, the dude in the video is saying left-wing states aren’t getting into heterosexual relationships, aren’t allowed to hit on girls in public, and are bullying straight people in school😂 I’ve personally never had a guy successfully hit on me in public, not because I never wanted it to happen (heck I’ve initiated on the one’s who were being hesitant), but because the execution is almost always awful and tacky. I wonder what this greater division of avoiding left-wing areas is actually doing to the right-wing, and vice versa I suppose. Twitter seems almost dismantled. We have Truth Social on one side, and now the new BlueSky social on the left, if you can call that left…maybe neoliberal. Greater divisions on the internet is really hardening people’s belief systems…less cross-dialogue. There’s plenty of right-wing people on here too, not sure what the accusation of banning is about.

My favorite part of the book was when an English woman who was a disciple of the guru came to visit. She wanted to draw and document everything so that she could take it back with her, "she is so busily engaged trying to learn, that she has no time left for learning". Nadu, the main character and disciple of the guru, eventually guided her to realize a more "simpler" approach vs frantically trying to draw everything in front of her in her "westernized" fashion of unsure lines. The guru then made her contemplate a water lily for 5 days as well, and after what she experienced from that, she no longer felt the need to ever contact the guru again, "it is no longer necessary to write letters when the heart can speak to the heart". The guru in the story doesn’t dismiss the seeker’s doubts or fears but instead he patiently guides them to see that most of what they fear (whether it’s in the material or spiritual world) is rooted in misunderstanding or attachment. This perspective was incredibly freeing for me because it flipped the way I viewed fear altogether. Leo talks about this a lot in his video about fear too. The description of the guru's calm and unshakable presence stood out to me throughout the book, always gracious, patient, and smiling. It felt like a reminder that no matter how chaotic life or the mind may seem, there’s always this deeper, unchanging core of peace that we can tap into. That sense of "great and humbling peace" stayed with me long after reading. I think what made horror movies lose their edge for me is this realization that true fear thrives on the unknown. Once you start seeing fear as a passing shadow and not something fundamentally “real,” it’s hard to stay scared for long. The book gave me a sense of groundedness that made those fictional fears feel trivial in comparison to the greater truths it pointed toward. Most of the characters and some of what is said in the book is true as well. Hall personally knew Nadu.

When I read “The Guru” by Manly P. Hall, it eased any remaining anxiety I had towards spirituality. It even made the scariest horror movies laughable to me (I used to be a big scaredy cat to those). It really showed me there was nothing to fear, whether in “reality” or “spirituality”, a great and humbling peace is what I got from it.

I agree a format should be covered somehow, interested to see what others say. I think cops should also be required to have studied those things as well before joining. I think the similarly but of psychology/group therapy classes. I had many difficulties with my parents growing up too but in other ways of course. Having a psychological/mental health class would have helped navigate all of that absolutely. Argument for psychology, we all have brains, but have no basic conceptions of how they work. It’s like driving a car without an owner’s manual. We’re all misusing our most valuable organ. Argument for group therapy classes is it teaches interpersonal communication and diving deep into others, helping see through your biases and perceptions of others you don’t know well yet, which are surprisingly wrong a lot of the time. I took a group therapy class and led the groups as well afterwards as an internship, it absolutely changed the trajectory of my mental health and personal growth. Would not be the same without it.

And she’s also literally 15, a girl, not even fully developed yet. Let’s stop commenting on her appearance. Jokes like that don’t land with that age group either…

This channel is run by an ex-spine surgeon. I first saw his most popular video a few months ago and subscribed. He quit his career due to misaligned personal beliefs of the medical system, and now just wanders around traveling. He speaks on this event from his perspective as a professional in the field.

I would bet that telling him to move to another country would just make him angrier and add more to his point. He seems like a highly passionate and desperate person, especially in that video of him yelling with the cops walking him. Though his passion of course led to a short-term solution of murder. When MLK Jr. came upon some kids who were celebrating the violent riots at the time, he told them we shouldn’t be celebrating violence, that it wouldn’t solve things in the long-term. The kids responded that it at least definitely got everyone’s attention. Sometimes attention is the best you can get in corruption and social injustices. “These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?” - MLK Do I think murder is the answer for long-term change? Not really. Of course I’d rather a world where Luigi walked up to the CEO, introduced himself and gave him a handshake, and explained his grievances for 2 minutes. But how likely would that have been?

Seems pretty shortsighted to simply leave. Extremely unlikely for most people to completely uproot and leave a society, family, and friends etc. they built their entire lives around. Moving doesn’t solve his broader scale griefs of societies peril at the hands of insurance companies either. That would just solve it on a really personal level. No one should have to move to a whole other country just for healthcare.

He supposedly did psychedelics as well. He has books on shrooms saved in his GoodReads profile.

Sorry to bring up old comments, but I watched Interstellar for the first time just now. Very much agree, though I’ve had a few other films give this level of engagement for me too, like “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” etc. It kind of felt like a film any stage of development could enjoy. The things about capital Love being all that matters and stuff could resonate with spiritual people sure, or other higher aspects people mentioned before. I don’t know what resonated with you specifically. For everyday people, they could just simply enjoy the other aspects of it while the higher ones go right over their head, and that’s fine too. It didn’t feel too forced, it’s more about if you understand or not, and if you don’t at least it’s fun to watch. I obviously couldn’t talk about what I really felt about the movie with my rational dad for instance lol, but he enjoyed other general movie aspects too.

Had to jump back to this thread and see if someone else felt the same. I just finished watching Interstellar for this first time. I absolutely agree with the whole Love concept. The reason they went to Mann’s planet vs. Edmund’s planet initially is because of “scientific data” being there, while Edmund’s planet would be for “love”. Choosing Mann’s planet, and later being wrong about it even with data, means that love should have been the answer from the beginning. So much more I could add, but that was one point in the movie I could highlight.

I live in California, finishing up university as a 27yo right now. When I first attended in 2015, it was definitely talked about in certain contexts, especially because Trump polarized those green stage issues. For the most part though, the majority of the campus blended together…sororities and fraternities were still popular. Now when I returned to college campus, on the 1st day I saw a freshman wearing a shirt that simply said “OPIOID CRISIS” on it, I was gobsmacked. I really enjoyed seeing that specific shirt tbh. No one was that blatant about social issues back then. The rest of the campus has a grungy/alternative/goth feel to it as a normal vibe. Lots look upset with the world and are aware of social issues. That was less common back then, and now Greek life is dead and unimportant…see if you see the correlation with that too. The younger Gen Z are definitely especially riled up, though of course, they are also young and inexperienced in mobilizing still. The passion is there at least, so it’s nice to see.

From what I’m understanding, Charlemagne did a great job of becoming the ultimate stage blue Christian leader. Lots of moral righteousness and creating order through hierarchy. That’s a win for stage blue Christians, a loss for non-Christian male elites (Saxons, Muslims, Jews, women, serfs, etc). So yeah, if Trump were to leave a legacy, it would be an ultimate stage orange leader one. Entrepreneurial and holds individual ambition over collective success. With the shadows of leaving out women, lgbtq, other vulnerable groups, the climate, cuts to social programs… but hey it boosted the stock market yeah? Yeah, maybe he’s not outwardly, plainly, brutally murdering some Saxons, but that’s not how stage orange does harm. It does it differently. Looks more like pregnant women bleeding out in parking lots. Western civilization is great and all, but it’s not staying in these stages forever. The “legacy” is for how the winners benefitted, leaving out what they had to do to others in order to win.

Maybe I find red/beige evil too simple to entertain. Watch enough murder interrogation videos/read Crime and Punishment and you’ll easily get your answer. Hell, on a personal level I can give a few examples I acted out unconsciously as a kid that every person has a story about. I’m curious to see what green/yellow evil looks like for each of us, what we overlook presently.

https://www.autisticpsychedelic.com/ Aaron Orsini runs this site. He has a Discord on there you can join with other neurodivergent psychedelic users. He has a few books written about the subject as well. Lots more info on the site.

Keep a hand held over a fire while holding the mentality of big picture. It was only some years ago when Leo’s SD videos came out that he mentioned still having lots of orange to him. It’s not crazy to think he still has some green to go through too. Actively calling society’s evil out is the name of the game. If one ever went through green before, they would understand what the society picture vs big picture view of things is like.

Does an Elon mega thread exist? Seems like there’s still people on here who see him in a nicer light
