@theleelajoker Can you please give me approval and not do anything unexpected as I might get really anxious and this box that I'm presenting to you here is the box I want you to focus on not the lube on my desk with the massive stack of my grandads 1960's porn videos?

Saying the death penalty is medieval is like saying euthanasia is medieval. Clearly the latter is an upgrade and the former is a godsend when you compare it with spending your life in prison. I don't know enough about the case to comment about the justice of it extrinsically, however intrinsically, its better for everyone involved except people that don't understand that its better than being butt raped or someone's bitch, which I see Luigi becoming, he's certainly not the kind to receive the positive attention he gets from obsessives following the case.

@Something Funny So I don't know the research on this however the pattern I've noticed between homeless people and their perceived "Craziness" (i.e. talking to themselves as if they're talking to others - imaginary voices but not necessarily schizophrenia) is loneliness or rather the absence of socialisation. My connections tend to be spot on so we'll just go with it. We are a social species, this means that the dominant metrics of what determines the evolutionary pressures of 'psyche' and its order versus order will be inherently social. Simple rule, more socialisation will lead to a greater stratification of psyche and less socialisation weakened complex structures that increase the likelihood of anomalous regressions that lead to outcomes that mirror increasingly abnormal behaviours especially when they're not countered by comparable orders of pressure. For example, there's going to be a completely different biosocial outcome to psyche between a twin study of one twin that has increasingly less socialisation with zero evolutionary pressure in another direction and another twin that has the same increasingly less socialisation but has by orders of magnitude greater mental stimulation. In the second case, from schizoid to autism to other forms of schizotypal byproducts we can sometimes see even positive outgrowths connected to this alternate evolutionary pressure. In the first example though in returning to my theory, the very fact of the regression resulting in 'talking to imaginary voices' is implicative of the social areas of the brain malfunctioning and slowly weaking its distinction between self and other, as well as imagination and reality, as such, this outcome becomes so obvious as to be incidental, rather than a grand revelation even though I'm the first person I know of that's come up with this interpretation. Which I have no doubt, is spot on. Increasingly more intelligent socialisation exercises the distinction between areas and their symmetry, aka empathy, which is the bridge to the continual unification of the distinctions between self and other, imagination and reality, the generation of meaning in the increasingly more layered relationship between objectivity, subjectivity and phenomenological connection to other. More simply, we rely on socialisation to exercise our relationship between our internal and external world, that without, most do not have the mental independence to train what has evolutionary become our only means of establishing a 'truth loop' with reality. That, without this feedback, internal adaptation wanes and the lack of evolutionary pressure for internal perceptions to draw feedback from external testing results in increasingly more disorganised outgrowths of our 'inner self-talk' that overlaps with our biological processors where we internalise our social worlds into bonds that forge our sense of identity. 'Crazy' becomes the only thing that makes sense because 'making sense' at the end of the day, is purely the objective overlap between the mergence of these processes that we subjectively experience as 'truth'. Moral of the story? Go out and social. Be one of the cool one's and train your brain in unique ways outside the social norm as well.

@BlessedLion Porn is a symptom. Lack of imagination and emotional maturity is a cause. The latter two create the conditions to the first, thus attending to them leads to a full resolution. Addiction to external stimulation coupled with a lack of empathy in practice to ability is the gateway drug to being entrapped in the feedback loop that facilitates Porn as a mirror to that addiction. Porn is not the addiction, addiction to the above described absences is. OnlyFans is only possible as an outgrowth to the entrainment of these disabilities rather than built on a grounded societal masculine foundation of intelligence.

Oh @Ima Freeman. It turned out to be 5-fold heh!

@Ima Freeman two-fold. 1. Focus on your cognitive empathy - directed simultaneously for both yourself and others: Cognitive empathy for others is obviously lacking in some areas / shuts down in the presence of conflict, perhaps because you feel you're not being empathized with. This is a normal occurrence and is one of the cores of most lapses in human connection. Truth Pill = Most people suck at empathy in the modern techno-addicted age where you're not having to expend energy to train it naturally through the environments feedback loops as much as the past so you'll need to get used to not being empathized with. That being said, have preferential treatment for those relationships where it has consistency and transparency in communication when there's difficulties. 2. Have unbounded compassion for self and other while operating purely strategically in number 1. We're all dealing with a population of people that mostly do not learn to operate strategically because we're implicitly conditioned to adopt the status quo of societies equilibrium, aka analogous to what's often referred to as 'regression to the mean'. This is because our consciousness is dragged in an 'attracted/magnetized' sense to what is more likely to bring it balance relative to its unique operations, and its biased towards the social norms even if they're imbalanced. Sometimes in particular if you're a naturally empathic person with an unhealthy childhood because you've spent most of your younger life finding yourself in reaction to the emotional environment, which makes them a good case study to compare with someone with very low affective empathy. Because they're not having to experience the emotions of others, their nervous system just has their internal inputs to feedback loop from and therefore the maturity of their sense of self is easier relative to this extent while having shortcomings in recognising the emotional boundaries of others whereas the more empathic (affective) person used in the example will naturally have more issues instead with respect to identifying their own emotional boundaries in the prevention of being taken advantage of in this regard by the person with lower empathy. This creates the context for interpreting the population and the boundaried vs unboundaried communications we have with them across an "Empathy Self vs Other Recognition" spectrum with affective and cognitive empathy being the major mediators concerning the maturity of the sense of self vs other overtime. This spectrum can help us paint a more nuanced perspective on conflict vs agreement and its absolute terms concerning felt and thought resonance vs its more relative nature that opens us up to appreciating a greater sense of complexity imbedded underneath each interaction we have. By approaching interactions, especially those conflict based, with this awareness, the elevation of that will measure the outcomes of intelligence that were meant to result, inclusive of healthy boundaried disagreement that can expand rather than contract a relationship when people are able to "meet in the middle" of their maturity on this spectrum. The compassion for self, directly reduces your anxiety in conflict situations while giving you an opportuntiy to leverage an expansion on the strength of your sense of self in a healthy rather than ego fuelled way and in return, giving you the space to do this for another rather than being compounded to the opposite end when the ego shuts down these higher social abilities and its subsequent stable context for continued mutual growth with another. 3. You're creating your own balance with another while at the same time, there's always the ever-presence of societies balance unknowingly being leveraged Drawing on paragraph 1 of point 2, number 3 is the essence for what creates the meaning and the future value adding of our relationships as we move down a path of discovery with others the more we explore empathy, self and boundaries in the context of one another in them. However, if you can remember that with every person, there's "Their Society" breathing down their neck in the form of prior psychological conditioning and just the presence of the impact of sensing larger social dynamics at play in the moment that etches in implicit conformity on both boundary and agreement points, then this unique balance you're creating with someone can be given the intelligent artistic contrast it deserves to define agreement/disagreement points which create the parameters of that exploration. This boundary of society is always in relationship with the boundary of self and it finds its point uniquely for every individual relative to their niche developmental paths. This is why you can have an extremely kinky nurse, doctor, police officer and nun in their own varied form and a very 'standard' sexual opposite with a woman that's going to find herself behind bars in the next 12 months, just for example. The self is regardless always finding itself in reaction to the friction of society pressing against the skin of this internal sensory awareness, and where there is the less development in self-computation of empathy across this mediation the more there will be this reactionary sexual opposite presence as its balancing point, relative to unique personality inclinations. 4. Create and Identify Context: then refine, refine, refine. The more defined you make your drawings on these lines, the more obvious the picture becomes and your identification of its attraction vs retractive points As you've now experienced from 1 to 3, the more "aha" experiences you have on the human condition all the way to individual examples you can paint with your life, this greater nuance translates into a solidarity that spells out fluid action with ease because now the world of another is much more cleverly defined in context with the world of self. Naturally, this not only translates into comprehension that enhances intellectual navigation but its going to completely change your energy as well that will make you not only less conflict prone but conflict susceptible which alters in advance the way people react to you and the likelihood that they even choose responses that are akin to 'conflict prone territory', in essence you've not only internally changed the future but now you're literally giving off a new vibration that alters the chemical energetic makeup of another and vice versa that establishes new grounding points that redefine the context by which conflict occurs, likely towards more progressive healthy ends where there is the maturity to facilitate. 5. You are your energy far before you are the mind of your thoughts that are the makeup of that ancillary, and they are too Definitions create the spaces of our energy and energy creates the spaces of our energies. Focus on altering the energy within and the energy without will naturally change, vice versa. You can practice moving your energy in various ways for example and notice via self experimentation how a change on the lines of energy here are a training of the maturity of those lines that makeup the self, its world and the complementary other and its world along with the boundaries that define the governance of our (conflict) mediation to mutual evolution.

@Kuba Powiertowski No problem. And true dat! Learning to ride the horse of learning is a bit like this, inverted in calmness. There's unknowns in knowns, knowns in unknowns and for each, a courage that is silent and a silence that is ferociously expansive, together, they create the parameters of The Battle of Agincourt. Noble steed!

@Santiago Ram You’ve grasped the core truth, evil ensnares through deception, not force. The casino doesn’t trap; it convinces you there’s no trap. This ties directly to another discussion with another user below, who denies evil’s reality, unknowingly mirroring its greatest trick, making itself invisible. Christ’s triumph wasn’t resistance, it was absolute discernment. Looking forward to your further insights.

@VeganAwake Okay, let’s backtrack. So far you've argued that evil doesn’t exist, morality is just conditioning, suffering is just another experience, morality needs a higher power, evil was created by fear, and your stance isn’t a philosophy but some kind of pure, blank awareness. Now, here’s where every one of those falls apart, if evil is just a construct, does suffering disappear when you stop believing in it? If morality is just conditioning, why do independent cultures form moral codes based on lived reality, not doctrine? If morality requires a higher power, why does cause and effect dictate responsibility regardless of belief? If evil was just "created by fear," why does even an infant recognize harm? Now in this latest response, you say your view isn’t a belief, yet you defend it like one. You claim it’s an “empty message,” yet you repeatedly reinforce it, why push an idea that “leads nowhere”? You call it “childlike” as if that’s clarity, but a child instinctively knows when they’re hurt, so what exactly is this "freedom" you keep talking about if it requires ignoring harm? You reference Ralston’s "Unknowing" while contradicting yourself by both rejecting and including it, it’s not profound, it’s just evasive. And the final dodge “It’s not something to be gotten because it already is”, which means absolutely nothing because morality, suffering, and responsibility aren’t just theoretical states, they require engagement. Every time you're confronted with real consequences, you move the goalpost, shifting definitions to avoid any structured accountability, responsibility, or ethical foundation. This isn’t deep, it’s just an elaborate way to excuse detachment while avoiding the burden of clarity.

Excellent. You're moving in the right direction, but if its okay I have some refinements to suggest. The nature of evil is that it is designed to try and convince you it doesn't exist, which is why you see some of the most evil people in spirituality, self-deluded in ideas like 'non-duality' which only provide a microcosm of the macrocosm of the truth of the nature of 'evil' vs 'good'. If you change 'casino' to 'devil' and 'poker machines' as 'free-for-all' with 'no consequences', you'll now understand why believing that 'evil' doesn't 'exist' is so... addictive. I think that analogy will really help people more easily make the connection between how common ignorance and common deniability of evil go hand in hand as not merely a psychological bias, but upwards of an entirely independent consciousness state that non-figuratively blocks consciousness from being able to make the simplest of distinctions between good and evil. Because accuracy requires so much subtlety between emotion, thought and the modelling of the multiplicity of empathic to sovereign realities, most people fail with either a smile of deception or a cry of fear they cannot see becomes their own demise, however short-lived. There's nothing wrong with 'sex', 'money' or 'power' intrinsically, the problem is that the authentic true way of doing them in alignment with the universe is far more difficult, requiring greater contemplation, awareness, modelling, emotional and social intelligence. And a sense a humour along the way as you side-step all the skeletons that have failed, including alternate versions of yourself that represent possible different life paths you could have taken had you had either more or less awareness, with the former, being the best kept secret by the ego, it neither enjoys confronting the 'better' it could have been nor untangling itself from the deceptions wrapped up in too much regret; it hates the simplicity and will call it archaic but it also hates the complexity of the extra objectivity that's required in that subjectivity and will call it over-intellectualism. People are neither responsible nor blameless, and its difficult to traverse that reality for most, something of which, they are responsible and blameless for again. Discrimination of perception in the balance of not just awareness but possessing the sensory spectrum that's not only in touch with feeling, emotion and its origins but a cognitive spectrum that can model experience to abstraction in the divide between world and self is integral when it comes to traversing this journey alone or in few numbers. In greater numbers, people at the very least have protective bubbles, however because often these bubbles form divided against one another, we have often have 'good against evil' with the opposing side always being the one that's trying to tear down the flag of an aligned universe with the home team. Many people even make it this far in their observations, but like I said, end with a self-deceiving smile that only takes them so far perhaps believing themselves to have 'transcended' and above others even though they're still living the humble lives we're all living just from different vantage points, our role in living out our lives as 'human' remains the same. There is no 'superior source' wit h 'god', there is just greater alignment, where 'alignment' becomes the only reliable vantage point in 'defining' what 'god' is', being the natural order of the universe that follows the best of patterns in the balance of order over chaos, and that's in every omission of a utilitarian nature, but not without utilitarian cause. As organ (heart, brain, gut) to experience is the fundamental alignment. Thus it isn't theory of the universe that autocorrects and aligns our nature more than it is the same simplicity we share among all of us in organ to energy, that may take different 'physical outcomes' as long as it is arising from the same 'intentionality' from enough quality energetic vantage points that binds us together. People with a less developed sensory perception on their energetic experience but are more cognitively focused often look at outcomes more than they do what makes those outcomes incidental, so they cannot develop a coherent theory of responsibility because missing integral pieces they cannot even self-perceive in themselves; satanism in its traditional self-representation is typical of this, in fact this omission is how they distinguish themselves from religion and they do it by comparing themselves with the extremes of religion rather than its balanced views, another trick of the devil of their own making. And that's the biggest trick of all to unravel, the devil comes through the individual, it's not external, which is what makes it such a hard deception to break the crest to and why therefore many people need religions even at their very naive ends, because at least it provides them rituals which generally do grant them greater levels of safety; prayer, principles, a god for a centre of focus, etc. Because 'devil' comes through them, so too then does 'god', most have no idea that both are their own natures though, they're just activating their nervous system in alignment with higher or lower consciousness. Religion becomes about 'winning the inner competition' against the aspects of themselves they haven't yet bridged enough awareness to integrate, thus 'religion' becomes a necessary stage of consciousness that without, we would fall into endless chaos as ignorance reigns, inclusive of all the pitfalls of false cognitive superiority, as we as a species have not yet developed our sentience beyond a consciousness threshold in which there's the awareness to integrate those disparate realities. A darkened heart, an angered gut, however simple it sounds has direct impacts on the heights of complexity of a consciousness, religion provides healthy and unhealthy crossroads for people that haven't developed their intelligence to the level that make the emotional and greater energetic needs self-organising. Religion provides an externalised feedback point by which consciousness is able to self-measure its full apparatus against a cognitive model of reality that comes in complete form, however 'incomplete' either its true parameters or the teaching of those and subsequent interpretations; there are no 'engineering' classes on religion unfortunately, there are just ironically, political sermons. In order to truly reach an accurate self-measure though weighed against the universe, consciousness must be able to self-order its own patterns of being and become its own internal authority. However not only is society predicated on externalising self-feedback and creating status hierarchies in the ordering of those with perceived authority in doing so as a self-reinforcing loop on that externalisation. Its very rise in consciousness in being able to do so is predicated on an opposite pattern while at the same time, our growing reinforced false individuality that cloaks itself as a subsequent false true sovereignty in the west for example, creates a narcissism that works in the exact opposite direction. Thereby making traditional religion in today's modern age not only a stepping stone onto something more advanced that requires higher self-awareness to achieve but also an ironic necessary 'evil' and pivotal goodness for personal development that the rationalists need and that the overly indoctrinated religious must become more rationally above in order to truly grow. In witnessing the devil as an infinite maze of cunning deceptions arising from within Santiago, you've confronted a universal truth. That evil thrives by ensnaring our minds in layers of lies that masquerade as power or pleasure to mask the absence of the power and pleasure in 'love in universe' and 'universe in love' they haven't learned how to integrate to a higher consciousness level. Symbolically to literally, Christ’s victory over this labyrinth wasn’t blind faith but fierce discernment, a capacity to pierce every illusion, from sexual temptation to worldly ambition, and see the manipulator behind them. This starts by simply learning to understand the workings of communication between the areas of our own universe and the cells of information that bind them together to perceive the realities of the universe and through its illusions. Religion can be a crucial scaffold for those unready to navigate lower states of consciousness alone but genuine sovereignty demands a vigilant self-inquiry that neither denies evil nor cowers before it and instead acknowledges it as an integral to their self-vocabulary at increasingly higher levels. Shadow work for example, another case study whereby one can analyse the justification of evil through a misinterpretation of their own psyche by simplistically categorising those acknowledge evil as therefore those that 'deny their own shadow'. In fact at its healthiest end as we're learning together in this comment, its by its full confrontation and integration of consciousness to higher-states, a 'compression' of energy that in its restriction grows the full force of freedom in light, hence why 'darker' is connected with lower states of consciousness and 'lighter' higher states as well as both being self-reinforcement loops because when you're 'darker' the self-deceptions that grow from them feed on one another in the same way that the desire for clarity on the nervous system on the opposite end continually seeks to 'self-clarify', another reason why religion is both pivotal and just a stepping stone. Without religion, if you're at a level of basic philosophical advancement whereby you recognise the connection between values of integrity, nervous system functioning and physical action you'll be able to appreciate how integrating the value centric nature of religion like empathy, reason and humility can teach you to take the good in helping you to discern the greater good along your path without judging what remains an integral piece that at the same time, requires the same discernment in its ridicule as it does in its acknowledgement if the people on both and many sides of the equation, are able to be helped towards the self-ordering of their own inner light. @Santiago Ram and others that have found the path or nearing, albeit less trained at this stage I hope my own improvisation here I did a few years back inspires you along which I have graduated from since:

@VeganAwake If evil is a fiction, does harm cease to exist? Suffering is real, regardless of belief. Calling morality an illusion is just another belief, one that evades accountability. The question isn’t who created evil, but who takes responsibility when harm is done? Dismissing it changes nothing. Your philosophy so far, is still very child like, you haven’t stretched past the corridors of naivety where there are still many doors waiting for you to explore. Everyone is here to learn so at least you re engaging, I am teaching.

@VeganAwake You’re conflating a lack of a higher force with a lack of harm or morality. Harm is not contingent on belief, it’s experienced. Without a divine standard, suffering still holds weight, and human morality arises from consequence, not divine endorsement. If reality itself can cause harm, then its absence or presence of a higher force doesn’t erase the moral weight of actions. Rejecting a higher power doesn't invalidate real-world consequences.

@Theprofessional sorry man I can't support you then as I don't want you to experience suffering in the future. Maybe I am wrong bro, like I may be completely wrong and I accept that, however I just see going into the arts as a massive danger even for the extremely talented in light of AI, which is one of my specialisations. You shouldn't care about my validation, approval or anyone's for that matter, you know yourself better than anyone else man certainly not some random bozo keyboard warrior like myself heh. I am on your side in as much as you internally (meaning you don't need to confirm with me externally man like I said I'm just some random bozo heh) evaluate yourself honestly, the environment truthfully and take massive continuous day to day action adapting to those realities to train your brain into the most imaginative fucker on the planet, or just something like that. That's 'who' I am though bro, maybe my subconscious philosophy is wrong, however for me, I find it too risky to be any other way not just with respect to the arts but just any field. Sincerely bro, I wish you the best. Feel free to punch any questions my way or otherwise and I'll give you straight answers from my bone marrow and a free cow.

@VeganAwake You’re not refuting evil you’re just renaming it. Calling it “mental instability” doesn’t erase its reality. If extreme harm is just psychological dysfunction, does that make its consequences any less real? If Hitler was "just a nutcase," does that absolve his actions? No it proves evil exists, whether from intent or brokenness. Dismissing evil as "just conditioning" is cognitive evasion. If all morality is conditioning, then so is your rejection of it, meaning you have no more claim to truth than those you dismiss. Evil isn’t theoretical; it’s the suffering it inflicts. That remains real, no matter how you label it. And yet, with every reply, you shift definitions, dodge contradictions, and reframe objections, not to seek truth, but to avoid confronting it. If your argument were solid, why must it constantly shapeshift to survive? Interesting... Very... Very, interesting.

@Theprofessionalby the way just wanna say, if you've really got 'the stuff', go for it man. I'll buy/related it. And I mean that, don't let me deter you, just giving you the straight sauce, plus remember what I said concerning creativity + power, perhaps you have the power mate or can get it r u a Spielberg 2.0 tho and do you mind that ur stuff will be easily replicated as soon as you make it? Do you also mind that your success won't be long lived and that even if you are a Spielberg 4.0, you probably won't be remembered for more than 5 minutes? These are relevant qn's. to me, film is super easy to break into but I wouldn't stake meat on it on the cash end of things in todays age. I can analyse a demographic, empathise with the stories that'll scratch nerves and use that as leverage to shape voices. what matters is $ of funding. on this note, I would also think about how you could be a consultant mate as well, try to specialise in empathy more than anything else when it comes to film making. Start envisioning all the angles of how you could act in the industry as an adaptation that makes true sense to you and has true logical consistency .best wishes.

I can't believe people are still living in the fantasy of the word 'democratic economy'. It's what perpetuates the 80's to 2010's fantasies of making it as a creative. That died fully about a decade ago and especially for the arts. I believe in both democracy and economy, those are just two words that don't go together anymore that's all. I turned off the television of that simulated machine of me as a cog in its wheel and now I operate solely according to my rules. It's a compromise. I'd really love to just play music, bliss out and create love with people. I'd really love to work for government and heroically solely for its interest. I'd really love to take my training in medicine and just be a doctor in a hospital and not have to worry about the rest of the world understanding that my purpose is carved out in making a difference in good peoples lives each day as a medical practitioner. This, is not reality. These are no longer reliable scripts. Money + island + 1 or more children + travel + woman/women (depending on circumstances) and everything else including medical is a bonus, including music/singing which is my own specialty in the arts that I only spend time on as I'm forced to as a part of the training of my own nervous system in particular directions. That's pretty badass though, that I'm 'forced' to master the electric guitar and singing so every once in a while I can just crank it out and get the hips moving heh. But that's all it is. It's sweet, nice and sentimental but its not anything more than that, we have a new politics for economy now including the economy surrounding human attention, success operates not only on different metrics, you should be expecting entirely different outcomes based on literally new generations that neuroplastically morph and wire the rest of their nervous systems according to those times. Remote control to television: Presses 'Off' button to simulation. Relaxes on a recliner on my own island, greets woman, fucks her brains out, wonder about what I can invent next after, fall to sleep; rinse, repeat. Eventual physical death. That's my present-future now, with some worldly travel, perhaps raising a kid (how many we'll find out) and send him to my own version of harvard as that'll be obsolete by then, write a few essays, do a bit of research, likely capitalize on latest CRISPR/variations (arguably first time and beyond psychedelic experiences) and genetically/related buzz myself in x and y directions outside of my own work on bioelectricity, and that'll be the complete script of my entire life before I die. The rest like nurturing true friendships along the way is just the details, even if we can argue relationships are the most important part, which I wouldn't stray far from, in fact there's too much of an argument to say that the 'democratic economy' is the perfect analogy now for what exists outside of true relationships while at the same time maintaining itself as the perfect distraction and subsequent destruction to them; the irony is rich. Moral of the story for todays times: Turn off the bloody television to the simulated reality of 'democratic economy' and get your balls heavy on the raw essentials: Money, freedom, love, nervous system. Now, if you're smart at the very least in a renewed way you're wondering how the hell you're going to get there. You can still 'make it as a creative' but it isn't going to be in the traditional 'creative fields', that is ah... not very creative. To truly master your creativity, you must master your vision of the world in which you're being creative in, if you can't even be in reality in these days about how your profession is going to manifest in todays toxic misguided cultural environment, you'll quickly finding yourself in a life-raft you never knew you boarded in the middle of the ocean while the people around pretend to save you, and you wonder, helplessly, why won't it just work? And now you're sniffing Kim Jong Un's authoritarian booty over his people's freedom of mind as he kills anyone who doesn't weep when they're in public on the day of his fathers passing each year and calls it justice for the people becaues obviously they're spies working for another government or didn't understand who they should have been grateful to. 'Creatives' were so valuable in a pre-technocratic attention span of the populace, however they've gone out of fashion with the radio, they no longer give valuable talk back with their art to progress society unless they also have power. That's the future now, and right now its just a baby. Give it a few more years and it'll develop a prefrontal cortex where it literally tells you straight to your face to put you in your place if we take it to the streets of Chongqing, China. And while you're sitting there, aimless perhaps, worried about the future of the world, that's just another way in which your attention is being coopted in conspiratorial thinking away from what truly matters, your drive towards the truth of handling your bare essentials, not just for today, but for the rest of your life. Step out of the toxic sociopolitical mindscape virus mud of modern society, turn off the simulated television that you're barely taking view of from the perspective of seeing yourself as the cog in the wheel, and get down to 'raw work'. What is 'raw work' as distinguished from 'television work'? Raw work is the work you put into something that you've directly calculated has an immediate positive impact on your path to freedom, even if its in contemplating and learning from failures. Raw work is the use of raw energy at the intersection of existential, financial, personal well-being and even long term relationships, it is money in the bank account of life as opposed to 'television work' which is where existentially, financially, your personal well-being and even truest long term relationships are treated like a commodity and have no return on investment in the long term future outside of adding fuel to the fire that is the matrix of the 'democratic economy' of todays environment still advertising false pathways to freedom.

If nothing truly matters, why do you respond with moral outrage against harm? Opposing evil contradicts your philosophy, if it didn’t matter, why act? Evil isn’t a construct of human fear; it’s an undeniable reality when harm occurs. You reject it as conceptual, yet the act of rejecting harm affirms its existence. Your actions undermine your theory, if nothing matters, why participate in meaningful action? The reality of evil doesn’t vanish in your philosophy.Your acts reveal a truth… evil exists precisely because you act as if it matters.

I don't need to read all the comments to know if someone has mentioned... They wouldn't have heh. Immediacy Bias vs perspectivism itself. Even, something I wasn't anticipating I'd say, through the purity of logical perspectivism regardless as to how fast it feels like the emotional elevator is crashing from the top floor after having its cables cut. I have my own model there that benefits a lot. There's the acknowledgment that the immediacy of the moment is the contrast that is the bias which gives us tunnel vision. Then I generate dimensional perspectivism that spans the abstract dimensions of either the bias of the contrast my perception is contained by or in comparison to it. If you imagine all of the abstract dimensions in the form of a sphere, you will be able to compare ('hat') anything to ('rainbow') anything (hat and rainbow have x similarities and y differences : again, across abstract dimensions not or not only just physical dimensions) and more importantly imagine perspectives that fill the gaps of abstract dimensions of any one ('hat' is opposite to 'pants' and 'pants' are above a 'towel' in 'sophistication' for the 'category' of clothing). I won't share any more, but for the truly curious there's some wild implications to this idea that I'll keep non-disclosed in this comment though you're free to ask me about them and or fill in any gaps for greater understanding. Imagine being super consumed by a heated legal battle where no matter how hard you try your mind preoccupies your ego's awareness completely by worst case scenarios that get you to act impulsively, even if on the outside it doesn't reveal this impulsivity. Then along comes the realisation that if you just simply add this phenomenological juxtaposition to your meditation practice say, now the harmonisation the meditation provides consciousness is coupled as well with contrast that nourishes new thoughts that open up your lateral thinking and emotional balance. That's what this does, as much as there is the immediacy of the psychological projection so too then at the intersection of that seemingly imperturbable perceptual weight that blurs your vision, is the multi-colored light of its related impressions now surrounded and eventually with enough diligence, transformed. For those educated on my Tempress variant, at your own discretion you can solve the puzzle of how to creatively include this to your benefit within your practice.

@VeganAwake Your argument against meaning is self-sabotaging. If nothing matters, why do you oppose injustice or risk your life for others? The very act of rejecting evil confirms its reality. Evil exists because harm exists. Denying its significance is a philosophical luxury, one that evaporates the moment you confront real suffering. Evil’s existence is not subjective; it’s lived experience. If you truly believe that nothing matters, you should stop acting on your own values, yet you continue to do so. This contradiction exposes the weakness in your theory: you can’t reject meaning without rejecting your own actions, morality, and emotional responses, all of which prove that something matters, including the existence of evil.

@Shodburrito You’re looking at this all wrong. Imagine a rapist saying, “Yeah, I forced myself on her, but has she dropped the charges yet? I wanna get back to gaming.” Or a murderer asking, “Is the victim’s family still pressing charges, or are we cool?” A bank robber: “Look, I waved the gun around, but have they moved on yet?”. You crashed into someone’s house, “Has their insurance covered it yet?” You botched a surgery, “Is the hospital still mad?” You cheated on your wife, “Is she over it now?”. You stole from work, “Is my boss still upset, or can I just show up Monday?”. You screamed at your kid in public, “Is my wife done being mad?” See the pattern? It’s not about whether the police or your neighbors move on. It’s about whether you do. Right now, you’re a guy who panicked and lost control. If you don’t fix that, this will happen again. So stop worrying about the consequences and start worrying about why you were the kind of person who created them in the first place.

@Someone here YES! The noble pursuit of lifelong partnership, or an elaborate plan to acquire a personal chef, therapist, and stress ball with benefits. Bold strategy son, bold strategy. If this is a parody, 10/10 execution but if not, let's do a reality check aye. Marriage isn’t a cure for loneliness, stress, or a tragic lack of home-cooked meals. A wife isn’t a reward for enduring your own company, she’s a partner, not a paid subscription to comfort bud. Right now, you’re stressed from handling life alone and marriage doesn’t solve that it doubles it. If you can’t handle yourself, adding another human (with her own needs, emotions, and expectations) will be like throwing gasoline on a campfire and calling it climate control. You don’t need a wife yet. You need self-sufficiency, confidence, and maybe the guts to actually talk to those European girls you crush on. When you stop treating marriage like a customer service upgrade, you’ll find women lining up like it’s an exclusive, invite-only event and suddenly, you’re the VIP of her OnlyFans. Isn't that most guys dream these days, to marry an only fans gal? Shit, with the way society is heading and the amount of money women make I can see a future in which men have lost so much character and sophistication that OnlyFans women become the go-to arm piece over Hollywood actresses.

@VeganAwake If meaning is an illusion, then by that logic, so is meaninglessness, both are conceptual stories. You argue that nothing matters because everything ends, yet you'd still save someone from a burning house. Why? Instinct? Then why do some sacrifice their lives for strangers? If survival alone drives us, why do people defy it for justice, truth, or love? You say animals don’t create meaning, yet elephants mourn, wolves protect the weak, and primates seek fairness. If they recognize harm, then so must we, because by opposites if good is an illusion, then so is evil, yet we know evil exists. Murder, torture, betrayal, why do these disgust us? Because their opposites being protection, kindness, loyalty, are objectively preferable. We expect parents to be role models because we instinctively recognize what should be cultivated. If nothing matters, why expect parents to nurture rather than neglect? Why do psychopaths lack disgust for cruelty while normal minds recoil? If meaning were imaginary, why does our biology demand that we distinguish and aim for good? You haven't disproven meaning, you've just justified ignoring it. But reality won’t let you, because deep down, you still expect good to triumph over evil.

@strangelooper Your model collapses into a paradox. If God is omnipotent, separate consciousnesses can exist, yet if omnipresent, all remain within God’s awareness, making solipsism inescapable. Your Rubik’s Cube analogy disproves itself; multiple perspectives don’t refute unity. You claim revelation but dismiss deception, how do you know your insight isn’t another illusion? If love was the intent, why permit betrayal? If reality is a test, who evaluates? Without an external reference beyond cognition, your argument is self-referential, and solipsism remains undefeated. That's just for fun though as I don't even believe in solipsism, as to me there's two truths against it right here in the sentence so far: (1) if solipsism is a belief and the awareness exists exclusive to it, then solipsism is neither true nor can it be disproven, though to even try to disprove its existence should be enough of a counterweight against it so far as if it were really true, awareness would already be preoccupied with it in the absence of belief. (2) Love and connection. People that struggle with genuine love and connection are going to have an easier time being tangled in solipsism rather than purified by it as it exists as a result of the absence of the experience that binds us together rather than being discovered from intelligent comparison. (3) Based on analysed demographics of solipsists I've seen, number two is pretty consistent, even if there's a bit of solipsism in all of us. Goodluck.

@VeganAwake If meaning is an illusion, why do firefighters rush into burning buildings, doctors risk their lives in war zones, and parents shield their children at their own expense? Why did Schindler save Jews, Beethoven compose deaf, or Van Gogh paint through despair? If survival is the only motive, why do people sacrifice for something greater? If insight has no impact, why do addicts recover, ex-criminals transform, and therapy prevent suicide? Why does purpose pull people from depression? If nothing matters, why prefer food over poison, justice over false imprisonment, or a skilled surgeon over a blindfolded one? If direction is fake, should pilots ignore altitude? If morality is a construct, should we comfort abusers instead of victims? Even animals protect their young, are they hallucinating meaning too? Evolution itself favors meaning-seekers; if value were false, why does it increase survival? If nothing matters, why engage at all? The moment you reply, you validate discussion. The second you reject injustice, you assign meaning. And if this “isn’t a mental health forum,” why does it bother you if people seek understanding? If nothing matters, why care where they go? Reality won’t let you live your philosophy. The illusion isn’t meaning, it’s pretending you don’t need it.

Srry mate heh, I've been training so much these past few months the weight of that sometimes dictates my convo's too much ah! In really simple terms: Stop chasing happiness directly; focus on personal growth through real challenges. Pay attention to how your body and mind feel, and work on keeping them in sync (for example, by staying active, managing stress, and reflecting on your experiences). Don’t rely on fleeting social media dopamine hits or other external fixes. I've talked about how external reality is its own honeypot, taking us away from the reality that the gold is in internal alignment. Internal alignment results in accurate external appraisal, aka you can see through the traps of the world and the false beliefs we have reinforcing the hidden traps. Keep learning about yourself; the more self-awareness you have, the easier it is to tap into genuine happiness instead of temporary thrills without the learning mastery. Let me know if there's anything else bud. Rock on.
