Isn’t this pure evil? How can a society let this get away? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/12/israeli-military-top-lawyer-drops-charges-soldiers-palestinian-detainee-abuse-gaza

I can recommend watching some of the videos about NDEs on this channel, they are absolutely beautiful and changed my perspective on death:

Guys, I’ve never read any book from Ralston, but have watched a lot of Leo’s videos and have even had several awakenings. Can I read this book right away, or should I start with the book of not knowing?

I think it depends on the type of vulnerability you show her. For example, if you’re vulnerable about your insecurities / self-deprecation, and fishing for compliments, that would be a huge turn-off, even if that’s exactly what you’re experiencing. Or for example oversharing traumas too early in a relationship is not good.

I noticed that in the last few years, as I’ve been progressing with spiritual work, I’ve been losing more and more friends from when I was younger. The main reason, I think, being simply because I find most of them to be too “shallow”. Most people are at a low level of consciousness and so focused on meaningless things, that I cannot value spending time with them anymore. Am I falling into the “spiritual ego” trap? I am also naturally an introvert, as I guess most people on this forum. So I wanted to ask you, how did spiritual work impact your friendships? Did you manage to make new friends that aligned better with your values? Do you still have friends from the old days?

How did you do that? Were you aware you had those knots and tensions before taking 5meo?

Bryan Johnson just posted on X: “My next longevity experiment: 5-MeO-DMT.” What is he talking about? Could there really be some health/longevity benefits from taking 5-MeO? https://x.com/bryan_johnson/status/2031128468721905967?s=46

Sorry to read that bro. Are you sure you’re not falling into the spiritual ego trap? I think solitude is ok as long as it comes from a place where you actually enjoy being alone, and you don’t see other people as lesser than you. You have full compassion for others’ flaws and limitations, you just avoid being in their presence.

Damn 1 in 10 americans has zero close friends

The video evidence: https://x.com/asif38689/status/2032157887363993861?s=46

How do you know that

To those that answered zero only one friend: do you feel lonely? Do you wish you had more close friends?

What if you go so deep, that the circle becomes zero?

Why do you think this happens?

Damn bro you replaced your friends with AI. I’m not so sure it’s a good thing, though I see the appeal…

That’s a good question on its own But what I had in mind are more in general friends with whom you talk and hang out regularly, outside of work/university/family. In your case both the examples would count.

Weren’t Jewish people historically always hated by the nations where they lived? Even before nazi Germany, for example they were expelled in England under Kind Edward I, or in Spain, under Ferdinand II of Aragon.

Exactly. You can hate on Bryan Johnson for selling snake oil and being corrupt, but at least we can agree that he is healthy. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of this experiment. Who knows, maybe in a body that is 100% metabolically healthy, “pouring jet fuel” could have some interesting beneficial effects.

Perhaps you’re an exception? I remember you were saying that you suffer from health issues / autoimmune thyroid disorders. Isn’t it possible that this played a big part in the “damage” you experienced? Maybe your body isn’t metabolizing these substances properly? Also, this is the reason scientific studies exist - so we don’t have to rely on a single (biased) experience.

Bro he literally posted about this with proof attached: + Accelerated neurogenesis: a single dose more than doubled brain cell proliferation and neuronal regeneration in the hippocampus within 12 hours, alongside measurable increases in synaptic density and firing frequency in rodent models. + Proteomic reorganization: in human cerebral organoids, 5-MeO-DMT triggers rapid proteomic shifts favoring cellular reorganization and synapse formation. Early evidence of structural brain renewal at the molecular level. + Default Mode Network reset: The DMN calcifies with age locking us into rigid, repetitive patterns of thought. 5-MeO-DMT disrupts these patterns, restoring bottom up connectivity between sensory and creative brain regions. A forced return to neurological flexibility and youthfulness. + Systemic anti-inflammation: suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-alpha) while upregulating IL-10, the anti-inflammatory signal. Mediated through the Sigma-1 receptor, suggesting a mechanism distinct from other psychedelics.

Damn that’s interesting. Looking forward to seeing his data and health markers afterwards

I was thinking more in terms of kundalini/prana energy. Maybe 5meo can dissolve some energetic blockages, for example by getting at such high levels of consciousness, you could get new perspectives on your life and resolve traumas, unconscious stress, etc. This would then ultimately benefit health and longevity. I have never tried 5meo though so I don’t know how it would be different from other psychedelics in this context.

Like killing their children in elementary schools? Or carpet bombing their densely populated cities? Or radicalizing them to hate you even more? The self-deception of Israelis is so cringe 😂
