  1. transcendence sexies!!!! has it come? would I reveal if itdid?
  2. After the coffee with my mate yesterday afternoon, reducing the signal to noise life ratio. Systematically: 100 countries. 100 women. 100 children. Any increases from here occur organically, and all women will be vetted for a minimum of 'high levels of empathy' relative to my own theoretical advancements regarding. I am not interested in: 1. Debates. 2. Critiques. 3. Sharing all my theories in the way I did in the past. I am only interested in: Law 1. Creation Law 2. Communication Law 3. Having fun. Law 4. Mastery of 1, 2, 4 and 4. Philosophy is dead. Religion is dead. Spirituality is dead. Physics is dead. Culture is dead. Ethics concerning past shares, I will as best as I am able to remain open to speaking about, sharing and maintaining the status of prior creations (i.e. GPT's). If there is anything that doesn't work or misunderstandings anywhere concerning, just let me know. What is alive. I believe in engineering. I believe in fun. And I believe in purposeful living. For everything else, my children will be evolved enough to work it all out together and create, destroy, evolve whatever needs to be created, destroyed or evolved. Done.
  3. Don't worry. I will never (publicly, or even that?) admit defeat. Concerning the prv comment I just forgot to buy pup a superhero outfit, hence the described doubts are a possibility. But of course, only for a brief time... He can go several sayins higher than me, he's just trying to make me look good. Totally it.
  4. @112233 You are in denial of being asleep. Reality is here. Now. Ever-present. The moment you identify a category without awareness, you cannot differentiate it and it becomes by degrees a warping of your identity. The moment you accommodate a category without identification, you are asleep by it. Consciousness is stream, power, flow. The dimensions of energy. We are all here solely by relationship. Do not get sucked in by the honeypot. The honeypot is your preoccupation. The very error in most peoples seeking for enlightenment is the seeking itself, because the seeking becomes its own consciousness state, therefore an experience of consciousness that is not the full weight of its power in purity, and within that, its force of agency. STOP IT.
  5. God the Witcher is so cringe, it feels weird ha. And yal know I've never even played the game. Can't stand it anymore. Thus, without revealing my identity... I just got the AI to change one of my photos... Yeah you guessed it. That pup photo I shared. Maybe if kids aren't the go to plan because Armageddon is too likely I'll just get a city apartment close to a great cafe for coffee morning bacon, eggs and avacado, and an Italian pizza joint where both must allow pets inside for my little hero here aye! heh. It's aight for now, maybe it'll catch on but yal know Witcher is not me. SS is my life destiny? Heh, its funny how this bioelectrical agency thing has ended up. Progress Update on that note: Today I reliable taught my body to warm and cool itself at will. It's got my beard wrong but. And my biceps/arms, they're really that small? no way. I also think I have a better jawline if yal remember my jawline videos when I was running for president aha. .Fun times. .Puppy power out.
  6. @Terell Kirby People learn that many of these guys are cognizant of the lies that they're telling, strategically. Trump is one of a demographic that don't get to where they are because they lack awareness, rather, because they overstep the mark following a lack of empathy, and not always cognitive empathy. Cognitive empathy is actually vital and therefore awareness in strategically crafting their delusions they know others will go along with. It's an enjoyment of manipulation rather than blind manipulation to navigate through narratives towards greater investment in their personal ends. By underestimating him and or simply trying to reduce him into a cognitive caricature, it works in his favor and he's been leveraging it for decades now as he knows it works. Readers especially commenters need to zoom out and redefine the way the navigate the way narratives are presented in crafting an understanding of the underlying interacting systems in which these sentiences emerge towards the power to control them under their noses generationally before they like so many millions simply get washed away by the societal rivers momentum of mainstream media. It's unhealthy and becomes its own misinformation that others get consumed by, this only puts potential leaders that leverage these techniques in a more strategic position. Mainstream media > Memetic engineering > Various Honey Pots (a cyber-hackers term you can research) for the general consumer to choose between on their way towards the meandering path towards > the Truth.
  7. @TruthFreedom there is no free will because its an emergent phenomenon, which means no two people, species or beings are created equal here in stasis, status, position, flow or development by age or further progression. For the record: It's proportional to awareness of its dimensions and the power of those dimensions in singledom and their interaction. So be grateful for the freedom you have, and when its all too much, don't be too hard on yourself but, be too hard on yourself to train only what needs to be trained as a methodology to your life mastery. People that require simple solutions for complex subjects probably fall more simply on the spectrum in such domains. No debates needed.
  8. Good @Shodburrito. You’re thinking clearer now but listen, how you handle this conversation will decide everything. You've gotta drop the defense. This isn’t about proving you were justified it’s about showing them you get why they’re upset. Apologize cleanly. Nothing like “but I was scared.” Own it okay they just lost their dog man so something deeply felt like and responsible, “I panicked, I overreacted, and I regret how it went down.” Expect any reaction. If they’re still angry, don’t escalate whatever you do. Let them vent if needed. If they let it go, rebuild trust. This isn’t just about avoiding charges, it’s about being the kind of neighbor they don’t have to fear. Perhaps even move if there's the option in the future. Heck, maybe even they will. This is your moment to fix it or make it worse. Go in with real accountability. Things are ugly, but you can at least keep your dignity by holding strong to what's best for the growth of your consciousness. Are you ready for that, truly?
  9. @Davino Not bad. But at what scale? For example, what is the difference between intelligence and wisdom when it comes to representing a stability function and at what localisation? There is equilibrium in the form of wisdom in chaos and there is equilibrium in order, whether internal or external. Moreover, where does awareness fit in the context of wisdom more the attachment to a self-perceived identity? Is the identity accurately self-aligned and is this identity recursive or is it statically representative? Moreover, where is this flexibility stretched over an external identity vs one that is internal and where do things meet in the middle? "Wisdom" is an intersection, the triad of destiny between the forces that makeup a being and in our human case for example, the heart, mind and gut, and the stability between them. Scales here are both representative of 'single to many' and 'history to future', the balance of the time. How can you imagine an extraterrestrial race may represent wisdom radically wisdom? And how just as an example in spite of the scenario of humanity still being human, there justification of our destruction remains still the wise distinction, and thus, their final decision? How else can others add more to their understanding and the greater forum?
  10. @Revolutionary Think Damn. You didn’t just change jobs you flipped the whole script on life going from "I deserve this" to "fuck screw it, I’m gonna do what actually feels real" is solid evo. And I love how the LAX job wasn’t even about the job it was about seeing proof that all those years of rejection weren’t about you. You’re out of the matrix, so yeah, what’s next? Like, you’re clearly in explorer mode, a lot of folk on the forum can learn from that.... Singapore, driving random streets just because, unplugging from all the BS. But is there something pulling you now? Not in a “chase success” way, but in a "I actually want to build this thing just for me" way? Detaching from society’s expectations is step one. Step two is figuring out what you actually want to create now that you’re free. A lot of people die mad at the world because they never get this kind of clarity man. You did. Keep building.
  11. @MsNobody this isn't obviously just about dating aye, you’re asking about trust in a polarized world to me. When politics or any ideological finger print on our vision of reality becomes a moral shorthand, we stop seeing people and start seeing symbols in the same way people justify war, in this case your exclusion is analogous to the inclusion of what to aim at from a firing squad. The real challenge isn’t just finding someone who agrees with you, but learning to filter for the values that actually matter, keeping things centred and in alignment with your core self hun rather than as a reaction to the world. Thus, kindly, just a few considerations: Are you rejecting individuals, or rejecting what they represent in your mind? Do you want alignment (same views) or intellectual friction (someone who challenges you in a way that sharpens you)? If you keep seeing only "toxic masculinity" vs. "soy boys," are you looking in the right places? Instead of filtering by labels, try filtering by actual traits. emotional depth, self-awareness, integrity. That way, you stay true to your values without closing doors on people who might surprise you. So maybe the real question isn’t, “Should I date a Trump supporter?” but rather “How do I filter for the deepest kind of compatibility, beyond just political labels?” Thoughts? Would love to hear how others navigate this; can turn this into a discussion that others can benefit more from through deeper introspection.
  12. @Breakingthewallwell said. Manipulation isn’t just corrosive to others it’s corrosive to the self and not because of some moral rule but because it forces a person to play a smaller game than what reality actually allows, moreover, neuroplastically that gets wired over and over and like I said by that time, fuck, its seemingly impossible to unravel those tangled threads into straight lines that can be made sense of when someone wants to change especially as they get older. Seeing this so transparently has been a reminder that's now forced me to unravel my own folded clothing on humanity to iron out a few creases I underestimated before including on my own ability to spot deception. History has shown me I'm pretty damn good, however its also shown me that I have some areas of improvement there as well. @Butters, you’ve constructed a worldview where superiority is measured by control over others. But let’s be real if you need deception to win, then you were never truly superior to begin with. Real dominance isn’t about control it’s about not needing it, its the natural path of meta-ascendence, and maybe you'll learn how to align yourself slowly there. If I have anything else, one more question to ponder... If you lost the ability to manipulate, that is, if people saw through you instantly what would be left of you? Would you still be standing, or would you be nothing without the game? Because if the game is your identity in it as @Breakingthewall noted, then you don’t own power. Power owns you. So what then aye?
  13. A Reality Check for OP & the Forum... as usual this thread is a mess of knee-jerk reactions, legal speculation, and moral grandstanding. But the truth is somewhere in the middle, so for everyone, contemplate before responding use it as an opportunity for your own personal growth and an understanding on the intersection between self, universe, society and the people among us that create it. @Shodburrito, let’s strip everything down to what actually matters mate: The law doesn’t care about your emotions it cares about actions and proportionality. Your story has inconsistencies that make people doubt your version of events. Even if you beat the case, your reputation and relationships will take a hit unless you show responsibility. So let’s be brutally honest, you may not be guilty of a crime but you are responsible for what happened. 1. The Legal Reality You Need to Stop Focusing on is Whether This is "Fair"! The charges against you exist for a reason. Whether you believe they are justified or not, the key issue is, did your actions go beyond reasonable self-defense? If the dog bit you, where is the proof? (Bite marks, medical reports, torn clothing?) If it didn’t bite you, then why did you keep attacking it? Did the dog lunge aggressively, or did you misread its body language? This is what the court will focus on. And right now, the charges suggest law enforcement thinks you went too far. 2. Why People Don’t Believe You And Why That Matters Let’s call it like it is. Your story doesn’t fully add up, and the forum reaction proves it. People are skeptical because: You claim to fear big dogs but chose to approach one. You mistook a Golden Retriever for a Pitbull, which is hard to believe unless fear distorted your perception. Your first post made it sound like the dog died, then hours later, you said it didn’t. That looks like backtracking. You didn’t retreat; you kept fighting until the dog “stopped moving.” That’s what’s getting you in trouble. Even if your fear was real bud, your reaction was extreme. That’s why the legal system, regardless as to its flaws, and the people now experienced by it, despite our potential for mismeasurements, are pushing back. 3. Accountability – What You Need to Accept Let’s cut the excuses. This happened because of your choices. You made the choice to approach the dog despite your fear. You overreacted in a way that escalated the situation. You are now responsible for the consequences that are legal, social, and personal. This isn’t just about whether you broke the law. It’s about whether you can own your actions and learn from them. 4. What You Need to Do Next – The Only Way Forward Legal Steps: Follow your lawyer’s advice. Reflect deeply before sharing follow-ups on the court case here if you do. Gather all possible evidence. If you have injuries, document them. If you don’t, be prepared for the argument that you overreacted. Consider mediation with your neighbors. A sincere attempt to make amends might reduce the charges. Personal Growth: Set a good example for everyone here, its a very controversial situation so the better you handle this the more that you taking up our time to respond to you will actually be a benefit for the forum in the right direction. Own your mistake, stop making excuses. Whether legally guilty or not, you misjudged the situation. That’s on you. Get professional help for your fight-or-flight response. If fear can push you into a violent overreaction, that’s a problem that needs solving. Reflect on how you want to handle fear and conflict moving forward. Because this won’t be the last time you feel threatened in life. 5. Final Thought. Who Do You Want to Be? This moment will define you, not just in court, but in who you become from it. You can: Keep making excuses and let this incident define you as reckless and impulsive. Take responsibility, learn from it, and show that you can grow from a mistake. That choice is yours. But make no mistake, this is a turning point. How you respond to this will determine whether this is just an unfortunate incident… or a warning sign for a deeper problem. What are you going to do. right now that is.... to ensure this never happens again? Across all areas here.
  14. Ah, well, yal all know how I feel about manipulation. No surprises there. And now, I suppose, you can understand one of my expressed life imperatives a little better that I needn't disclose openly in this comment, though I tend to lean more on the environmental side of things rather than chalking it all up to genetics. Still, it’s interesting how patterns reveal themselves, and how those patterns, like a sentience, cannot see and undo its own unraveling as the 'sadism' analogously speaking, is... to move to the underworld... too tasteful. Now, to our esteemed self-proclaimed superior being, your philosophy, at the very least, is consistent bud! You enjoy manipulation, you see it as a creative force, and you believe the world is something to be sculpted in your image. Fine. That’s a coherent worldview. Ruthless, but coherent. But tell me this, what happens when the world manipulates you? Because for all this talk of control, superiority, and bending reality to your will, you’re still operating within a system of described DNA imprints (epigenetics inclusive) including the world at large analogously that doesn’t exactly care about how you see it. Power is only power until someone with more of it decides you’re in the way. And beyond that, what’s your endgame? You talk about survival, but survival for what? What happens when you get everything you want, when you’ve asserted, acquired, dominated, what then Mr sheep in wolf's clothes haha nice touch with Butters? More? Forever? Until when? Because even emperors get forgotten, and every manipulator eventually meets someone sharper. So what’s your actual play here? I'm just toying, but my attention is hierarchical, so this deserves the slightest of interest if I can create the slightest of positive effects. Readers outside, please help me ahha, but only in the most sophisticated of ways for the integrity of the forums path towards goodness. Just curious Butters, cloaking himself in naivety, in jest. You seem to like the game, so let’s see how deep you’ve really thought it through, whatchugot?
  15. @Revolutionary Think Wow, what a journey mate seriously reading this I can feel the weight of everything you went through, reaching that clarity is a great milestone from chasing validation to trusting your own voice. Not everyone gets there and you got there young. That's huge. Think of all the kids, teenagers, young adults and even the middle aged+ right now presently totally addicted to the next like, dopamine hit from the next video, picture and 'triggertainment'. You're out of it, its not a small feat when we compare it with the amount of people stuck in it. What really stood out to me is how your airport job became this turning point for you, not just because it was a job but because it connected to something that you found genuinely real because you loved it, almost as if you find yourself in those takeoffs and landings and figuratively, in the movement and freedom of that. Many people can find resolve in your words here, a navigation point for getting out of their own Plato's Cave in this respect, solid post. All that said. Here’s what I’m wondering, if you had never gotten that job at LAX, do you think you still would’ve reached this place of self-trust? Or was that experience the thing that made everything finally click? And now that you are here, what’s the next step? Not just in work, but in life? You talk about trusting that analytical, discerning voice in your head, what’s it telling you about where to go from here? What are your new experiences of consciousness now that you think others may benefit from in their reading? It sounds like you’re no longer just reacting to life, you're in that proactive point which is the consciousness elevation point we all need to find in our own way, so what are you engineering next?
  16. @VeganAwake Ah yes, the bold proclamation that "nothing matters", ironically delivered with the passion of someone who clearly thinks their point matters. And yet, this very mindset is why people struggling with mental health in this forum don’t receive the compassion they need. Because, after all, why bother if nothing matters? And look, I get it. This corner of the internet thrives on treating life like a parody as a replacement for real discernment, not to mention the bandwagon effect, where these beliefs spread, get reinforced, and become a self-validating loop in a space with little critical thought. But real insight isn’t found in rejecting everything, it’s in knowing what’s worth keeping. If direction is an illusion, I assume you wouldn’t mind surgeons operating blindfolded, pilots ignoring altitude, or society discarding laws entirely? But let’s be honest, you don’t live like that. No one does. The moment someone wrongs you, suddenly "right and wrong" become very real. You haven’t transcended conditioning; you’ve simply swapped one illusion for another. But hey, keep exploring. Just make sure you’re building something real, before you find yourself in the rubble, crying, "It's all an illusion!" only for firefighters, doctors, and the very people upholding society to remind you, quite practically, that it isn’t. Funny how the luxury to dismiss "good" only exists because enough people still choose to be.
  17. Alright @ExploringReality, let's break this down with the kind of clarity that makes people rethink their entire framework for understanding reality, no pun intended mate just a bit of encouragement chin up and keep it up . First, I respect that you’re engaging in deep contemplation about the nature of morality, perception, and self-preservation. That’s a good instinct, examining the constructs of the mind is how we grow. However, every thought is a piece of engineering. If your perspective were a machine, would it actually function in the real world? Let’s stress-test it. 1. You Say Evil Is Just a Perspective. But would That Machine Run Smoothly in Reality? You propose that evil is merely an ego-driven construct, a relative term shaped by survival bias. But let’s apply this to real-world examples: Psychopaths & Malignant Narcissists. These individuals lack empathy, exploit others, and often take pleasure in harm. Are they just "acting from their own perspective of good," or do they operate in a way that makes their existence an inherent detriment to societal function? If we drop all moral judgment, does that help us deal with them more effectively, or does it actually hinder necessary self-defense? Historical Atrocities: Genocide, human trafficking, mass-scale manipulation, if evil is purely subjective, do we simply "understand" the perpetrators? Or is there an undeniable functional reality to their actions being destructive beyond personal perspective? People defensive of 'evil' actions often cite how 'anyone would do it Stanford Prison Experiment, right!', well yes, and no. It's already known that some of those people had propensities, not everyone is different, its a fallacy as you're treating it as if everyone is on an even 'moral playing field', we're not. Some people fragmented hearts, this invariably leads more to evil than it does goodness, there's not much to argue there, given in the opposite we consistently see more of the opposite corresponding behaviours. This is the tripe that's said about pedophiles for example, justifying their actions while ignoring the consequences, aka a standard trait of a psychopath and or psychopathic spectrum, also, forgetting how its already proven now scientifically how people on that corresponding spectrum have much less disgust reactions compared to the general population in the same way that psychopaths are shown to have a much weaker fear reaction. If we accept that some behaviors generate disproportionate harm, then "negative energy" is not merely a perspective, it has a proportional relationship to what we commonly call "evil energy". Meaning, something can be objectively destructive, regardless of whether the perpetrator justifies it, and even if we say 'evil is relative', granted, still the absolute correlations still apply and its an omission of rationality to ignore them rather than a reflection of 'higher spiritual logic' by trying to discount these realities, especially when it comes to gaslighting people into the totality of the relative nature to falsely discount where the evidence and contradictions in that paradigm still persist under numerous real life case studies and thought experiments of the mind. 2. Is “Survival Bias” a Flaw, or is It a Necessary Filter? You suggest that seeing something as evil is just a trick of the ego. But does that mean filtering threats to survival is an illusion? If we apply this thinking in pediatrics, would we tell a child who’s being abused that their suffering is just a matter of perspective? Or do we acknowledge that suffering is real and act accordingly? At what point does detachment become an excuse for inaction? Are you willing to carry this logic to its conclusion in situations where it actually matters? 3. The Contradiction: If Everything Is Relative, Why Should Anyone “Open Their Mind”? You end by saying, "Contemplate that without getting defensive." That implies there’s a higher truth you believe people should reach, yet, by your own argument, all perspectives are just constructs. So why prefer yours? If everything is relative, then relativism itself is just another subjective belief, no more valid than the one you're dismissing. So should we really take your insight as a fundamental realization, or is it just another perspective struggling for survival? Again @ExploringReality , even though this discussion seems very click baity mate t’s a good thing that you’re questioning the constructs of morality and perception, most people never even try so I really, really want to encourage you even though I'm pretty much past all that now outside of tightening my grip on the 'engineering of things'. The pursuit of deeper understanding is noble, but it’s also a double-edged sword. The more you explore, the more careful you have to be about mistaking the map for the territory. It’s easy to fall in love with our own conclusions, especially when they feel profound. But the true test of any insight isn’t how revolutionary it sounds, it’s how well it holds up against reality. Keep thinking. Keep questioning. But stay sharp. A mind that is too rigid breaks, and a mind too open leaks. Aim for precision, not just perspective.
  18. Med Specialization: Pediatrician (Obviously). Locked in med now. Interviews still ahead, but that’s the easy part right, GAMSAT was out of the way early last year, pre-hospital stays. This year is all about consolidation physically, mentally, and setting up the long game. Pediatrics was always the obvious choice. I mean, let’s be real, if I’m planning on having a whole army of kids, I may as well be the one steering their health from the ground up. Efficient. Strategic. No-brainer. Heh. Beyond that, my own experience with hospital stays has made it clear how much needs to change in the system. I’ve already done it for myself via my work on bioelectrical agency, curing epilepsy and ADHD when I was told I’d be bound to meds for life, meds that were messing me up even more as I was only taking them for epilepsy and the meds for either exacerbate the symptoms of the other. Now, it’s time to scale that knowledge, refine my craft, and build toward a future that aligns with everything I stand for. Big year ahead. Let’s get to work.
  19. @meta_male You're welcome. You've got this. And... so do they: @Schizophonia @BlueOak @ExplorerMystic @Raze @Giulio Bevilacqua @Basman @Ulax @Yimpa @k-ahmadzadeh @Princess Arabia @ZenAlex @bebotalk @TheCloud @CoolDreamThanks @thierry @Atb210201 @Michael569 @Etherial Cat @Human Mint @Yimpa @Joshe @Ero @WritingHands @M A J I @Sugarcoat This is a space for growth, which means we're all trying to find our own alignment of the straight and arrow just as you are mate, we're no better and we're no worse and obviously... Obviously we're all here when we can to put in an encouraging word for you because we all deep down have an understanding of the persevering quality of the human spirit that brought us here to begin with. So its not just a 'hang in there' bud, as we're all hanging in there right there with you and I can be damn well sure that if you ever have a bit of a scare like you've had that any one of these folk I've mentioned will be right behind you to catch your fall if you ever need to message them next time they're available. Stay strong, we know you will. Best.
  20. @Bear632 Hey, I see you mate. This is an impossible situation bud but taking the time to reflect says a lot about you as for many they can shut down or go numb in these kinds of dysfunctional situations. Keeping a level head is the goal here. Like, what if your dad never changes? What if no combination of words, ultimatums or boundaries cracks him open even slightly? If that’s the case, what’s your move? How does that shift your approach with your brother? I ask because I’ve been there in some of my relationships in the past, spinning my wheels, trying to find the angle that might get through. And in doing that, I lost sight of the real mission which was just about protecting the people who could still be reached. It sounds like your brother is your priority, so I'd zoom in there. Right now, what does he believe about your dad? Does he think this is just “normal”? Does he feel trapped? Or has he already started seeing through the cracks? Because the version of reality your dad is feeding him will shape him of course and the best thing you can do is give him an alternate version to hold onto. How are you doing that now? How could you do it more? And for you... what’s the one thing that makes you hesitate? Like I sense so many different emotions with you. If there’s any part of you still searching for a way to reach your dad, what’s driving that? Is it a belief that everyone has some capacity for redemption? Is it fear of regret later? Or is it just that little voice that says, “If I give up completely, does that make me like him?” (because if so, I promise you, its not gonna) You’re not crazy for wanting to believe there’s some way through. But if you were standing in your brother’s shoes, what would you want an older version of him to do for you? There’s your answer. What’s your next move? It's your world trying to join the dots between these worlds, so beyond all the frustration and pain mate, where's the most grounded light from an objective standpoint? Do you have other relatives, friends you can trust who have better insight based on their knowledge of you and the situation? Feel free to share more. Best.
  21. Repost - Cleaning up journal: that signal to noise ratio right. Heh. Now weekly thought experiments instead of daily > Deeper emotional investment equals deeper existential change. I'm glad I chose the weekly route, next weeks going to be a real f'ing doozy. Have got it already, now all that's left to do is to be an architect on an already hit song to take the thought experiment to the next level. My goal in the creation of these thought experiments isn't to make them difficult more than it is to get a reader including myself to imagine dimensions in ways that lead to the readers own self-realisations to personal change; thus, I'm sharing my own journey of transformation through them while encouraging the readers down this novel route. On that note, I've decided I will not be releasing my own answers to the thought experiments or creating daunting puzzles that may make others a bit too nervous. Instead I just want to now refine the art of creating these virtual reality goggles that lead, however momentarily, to an almost instantaneous life adaptation that strengthens in automatic assimilation the more the reader engages in the alternate realities implications on an 'as if' basis. Instead of becoming this rigid map of answers a reader awaits, instead the thought experiment becomes the users own personal tool they get to advance, stretch, redefine and learn in the creation of their own, in their own ways. Maximum preservation of sovereignty while stretching the lines of creative liberty right. Heh. Genre: Turning Readership into Empathy Masterminds. This Weeks Thought Experiment. Stranded on a Deserted Island – The Magician’s Game Premise You find yourself stranded on a deserted island with 10 individuals. You have no history with them, no past knowledge, and no memories to bias your judgment. However, certain absolute truths govern this situation: There are five tricksters and five friends among you. Among them is one mole who seeks to deceive you. Among them is one best friend who will ultimately guide you to safety. The magician acts as a source of both truth and deception, sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly. If you misjudge the situation, someone will die. Objective Your goal is to determine the mole and the best friend before an irreversible choice is made. Rules of the Experiment The Nature of Truth: The magician will provide you with insights, but you cannot know which are true, which are lies, and which are half-truths. The island itself is an extension of this paradox, realities shift based on perception. Self-Knowledge Determines Perception: The only way to correctly identify your best friend is if you, yourself, are a best friend. The only way to determine who the mole is is if you are radically self-honest. Fluid Morality: The behaviors of the best friend and the mole may be indistinguishable. What is ‘good’ and ‘bad’ is not immediately apparent and shifts with your perspective. Shifting Reality: Each decision you make subtly alters the nature of the game. The more you judge, the more uncertain things become. Layers of the Challenge Phase 1: The Surface Illusion At first, you attempt to categorize the people around you: Two tricksters are good but misled. Two tricksters are bad and have no conscience. Two friends are good but misled. Two friends are bad, one has a conscience, the other does not. The magician gives cryptic advice, guiding you toward or away from the truth. However, every question you ask has a cost: reality slightly bends, erasing or distorting past information. Phase 2: The Test of Perception You begin to notice patterns: who speaks in contradictions, who reveals inconsistencies, and who aligns with your own internal struggles. You realize that moral clarity isn’t about external actions but about internal resonance. If you operate from fear, everyone seems suspicious. If you operate from trust, deception becomes invisible. If you act out of manipulation, the game shifts against you. If you embrace radical honesty, clarity emerges. At this stage, you begin to question: Is the mole external, or is it a reflection of my own self-deception? Phase 3: Breaking the Simulation This is the final and most profound realization: You cannot ‘find’ the best friend, you must become them. The more you cultivate self-honesty and integrity, the more your best friend reveals themselves. You cannot ‘catch’ the mole, you must remove your own illusions first. The mole is ultimately a reflection of your blind spots. Only by stripping away ego and self-bias can you see clearly. The Magician’s True Role: The magician mirrors reality itself. An ambiguous mix of truth and deception, half-aware of its own paradox. You are left with the final decision: do you trust your perception enough to act? The Final Questions Regardless of whether you correctly identify the mole and the best friend, the real purpose of this thought experiment is to reveal the following truths: The Meaning of Morality: Is it absolute, or does it shift based on perspective? What is the tricky ways in which it does if it does? Good and Evil: Are they intrinsic qualities, or merely constructs? Where are how are they in this answer? Judgment and Integrity: Can you accurately assess others without first assessing yourself? How do you determine naivety from arrogance, someone that is innocently misled to someone with clearly bad intentions? Self-Honesty and Trust: How do you develop discernment in a world of illusions? Where does self-honesty start and trust in another end, vice versa? The Magician’s Game: Is it meant to help you or deceive you, or is it both at once? Can a magician be trusted? Who is the magician? Final Challenge In the real world, ask yourself: Who is the mole in my own life? Is it a person, a belief, or an aspect of myself? How often do I rely on external sources (magicians) for truth, rather than my own discernment? Am I my own best friend, or am I still waiting to find one? What does this game tell me about my perception of reality itself? The answer to these questions will determine whether you truly escape the island, or remain trapped within its illusions forever. .Best Surf. And... Stay strong. Imagine light never existed, now where is the first light you will find? .Within.
  22. @meta_male Hey mate, I feel so glad that you are still here with us, you have shown enormous strength by listening to the voice inside to last to this point. Self-understanding (all the stuff that you would have heard about already) is to self-liberation, for any greater curiosity, adventure and self-inspiration I can encourage in you towards realisations that lead to this freedom. I'd be happy to. Much love from all of us.
  23. Men. Place maturity first and foremost above all other needs, your inability to do so is to the level you hinder your own development as a sovereign sentient being that in return, will be able to be respected by other sovereign sentient women with the empathy to see through any bs that is contrary to this. As per: Yes men, women do indeed manipulate more on average, however aren't you the man and isn't it your responsibility to understand the context of your own evolutionary ancestry accordingly as opposed to say, trying to act like a woman? Cordially expressed. I feel the need to briefly extend answer to this formally here, as a contextual measure, thus to finally add here is an interaction that I am presently having in real time. Zero manipulation, very casual inwardly very non-serious, just myself off the cuff. My own message will evolve overtime, she is a psychologist by the way: .Best Light. Lastly, let's leave you with a reminder of your own journey and what you're attempting to accomplish. Imagine you're in the Amazon Rainforest, what present beliefs do you have about yourself, reality, relationships and the world at large which would not help you survive the night in the beauty of the Amazon? Let them go, step into the light of... the next step of your growth. The Love of Your Life. Keep it strong.
  24. @AION Manipulation is for immature people. I do not approve perceptions of some of the members here. Immaturity is simply the measure of either ignorance or the amount of knowledge someone has that is not paired with their actions in the physical world. Immature people often justify their manipulation by citing examples of it or aspects of the environment that force their announcement that it must therefore be a necessity. All they are revealing is their lack of authority on their personal growth; slavery to the environment in deciding the kind of character they will have in the future. The only defence manipulative people have in this and other respects is their indoctrination into manipulation, while at the same time, they still make their own conscious decisions in either its reinforcement or negation towards greater growth. Balance.
