Insightful post! Never thought of it that way

online disinhibition effect is a hell of a drug

Sin is simply an action that makes your life worse overall. Despite the fear mongering that religions do, there is need for the threat of Hell to scare people to act righteously. I was always confused why adults in our society rely on childish stories to teach people about the benefits of acting virtuously when the logical explanation is much more persuasive and less patronizing. Here's an example of this idea beautifully articulated by a talented public thought leader Alex O'Connor ...

Glad someone else appreciates him. His work really resonates with me as well!

I agree Alex is no where near the highest levels of understanding but still interesting to listen to and a great speaker and has many great ideas on certain subjects. Can you briefly explain what sin is?

Sorry but you would lose that bet. Men are more targeted for all forms of violence and murder (except intimate partner)

It's common to hear how dangerous it is for women to walk down the street but apparently it's far more dangerous to walk down the street for men! What a mind fuck

Deep stuff to think about for sure, thanks for sharing!

Right yes that's good advice. In the Christian context sin is a specific thing like murder, greed, cheating, stealing. But you are right every action can be seen as sinful. By eating food we are "stealing" it from someone else etc.

Absolutely, great chatting with you, hope you have a wonderful day. I bet many women will make themselves available to you in the next few days.

Hey thanks for the reply. Alex talks about this in the video and so does Leo in his videos. If you disagree then go ahead and live your life in "sin" and see how good your life will be. It's pretty safe to say that living in "sin", however you want to define it, will always bring you suffering eventually. Cheating, lying, scamming, greed might make your life materially better but internally those people are suffering.

Oh i see . Thanks for clarifying sorry if I misunderstood your statement

I value your opinion, and you as a person, and appreciate your reply. It's a pleasure chatting with great people like you in this forum. I'd counter your claim if you don't mind. Your suspicions are incorrect I'm afraid. The data shows it's more dangerous for a random man to walk down the street than it is for a women. Yes women may be harassed more but it's less dangerous and are less likely to be killed or attacked. There's an instinct to protect women (and children). Women's and children first after all. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/article/myth-busting-the-true-picture-of-gendered-violence/hbbqupyt8

Thanks for the reply always a pleasure chatting with you @Natasha Tori Maru! I'd like to suggest if you don't mind that the harmful misconception about your statement (although correct it a way) is that men can't and don't feel weak too. Many men feel and are just as weak women. Yet society discourages men from admitting it and thus the shame around feeling weak manifests in further harmful ways.

Yes it's a good post and it's all true. The name "matriarchy" is where there is a disconnect that prevents people from getting on board. It'slike telling white people that "white power" is toxic and evil (which it is) and then asking those very people to accept "black power" with open arms. It makes no sense in their minds. The truth is white people don't need "black power" and asking them to accept "black power" is a mistake. We need respect for humans that's it. We need to respect women (and men) more and the invaluable things they contribute. However as you see from you interactions in this forum is that the branding of "feminism" and "matriarchy" is a huge turn off that actually hurts your cause. We can respect women without labelling ourselves "feminists and matriarchs"

Great point. Thanks for the reply. By the way women suck at it too they're just not expected to do it so we never realize it. Imagine how cringe it would be if you're minding your own business and this woman, who you want nothing to do with, comes up to you and asks you for your number. She would look just as pathetic as any guy doing the same thing. She would have to be pretty funny, natural, and charamatic to win you over right?

Let's turn criticism into something productive and ask ourselves: do we idolize Leo a little too much? Also, another good question: is being unhinged by actualized.org better than being hinged to an epistemologically shallow society?

I might have been wrong. Here's a more compelling reason men aren't approaching women anymore: they lack the social skills because they spend so much time online.

Hey interesting videos, I think it's pie in the sky thinking. The ideas are great, I'd even vote for them but they will never happen. If you run for office on this platform I will vote for you. How about that?

You can't answer this question with words because words themselves are a result of a paradigm where things are distinct in the world.

Dear incredible people of the actualized.org forum! it's another amazing day to be alive. check out this interview if you are interested in the brief history of mysticism.

What a great thought provoking question! That's something I'll have to contemplate for a while. For now I'd say that it might be a mixture of both; intentionally keeping others trapped is a form of low and unconscious behavior. Perhaps if they were "fully aware" of their actions they wouldn't do it.

Well said. This helped me the most too
