  1. I think there is no problem with veganism, feminism or social activism (I do have problems with all the other ones tho lol), the problem is the collectivist thinking underpinning these ideologies. Thinking in and identifying yourself and others in terms of groups, it's always my group vs. your group. This group oppresses me (or if you are a masochist like that white guy in the video, I am part of the opressor group). That is not to say that this thinking in terms of groups is something avoidable, it clearly is not. However, I think it is possible to minimize it as much as possible If you are ideological you are automatically collectivist
  2. I am consciousness aware and controlling a human body, is this a hard concept to grasp? LMAO Do you think you are a concept, or are you rooted in actuality?
  3. No, right now I am a consciousness and a human. That is what I am aware of
  4. Words and language are human construct. Even if you would not be able to formulate your thoughts at all, would not be able to speak, write etc. you would still be conscious and you would exist. Person with severe autism, to a point they are non verbal, still exist in their own very limited way
  5. Maybe, maybe not. I'm still a consciousness tho
  6. I am consciousness. That's what I am. Currently I am aware of controlling this human body, therefore I am a human by extention. It's that simple. Definitions are not important to me. You making up my motives behind why I wrote what I wrote kinda opposes this whole not knowing and there is noone schtick, since you are asumming. How do you know why I'm acting the way I'm acting? Lmao I can seem like I'm cuthroat here sometimes but it doesn't matter cause it's all just words on the screen.
  7. You are playing around with some BS definitions, typical of the wokie and non dual neo advaita crowds. "Oh, so you think you are human, what if everyone called you an orange since the time of your birth?" Then the word human would be replaced with the word orange. What does it matter? Only actuality matters. This is retardation
  8. Well I'd clasify by stupid as, fundamentally not being aligned with the actuality i.e. the truth. But if you wanna go crazy with it all, be my guest. Actually I think all types of thinking are alied and simultaneously enemies to each other, like often times they synergize together, but sometimes one makes the other one worse. That's just a theory off the top of my mind anyway. There are also external influences obviously, the quality of information that goes into the system matters
  9. That's actually an interesting question because the answer to that is not as clear as in the case of the original question. I don't think it would be possible to reduce that predictor to a single quality, as there is a plurality of types of thinking. Depending on what you are trying to think about. Have too much of one quality and you'll become stupid in other areas, have too little and you'll be stupid in general.
  10. There is no-one here to perceive the "genius" of your post, am I right?🤭🧘‍♂️
  11. Yes. Veganism is BS
  12. I mean, if there's something to take from this, it would definitely be to not trust Leo or any other authority too much, can you honestly tell from your POV what his intentions are with that retreat and his videos in general? Who knows. I'd definitely not take any psychadelic, just sounds like such a unnecessary thing to do. Why mess with my brain chemistry like that on purphose? LOL
  13. Now we're getting away from the topic of discussion, there should never be any dictator since that assumes a concept of a society completely trampling over the rights and freedoms of an individual, with all that being said. I think this kind of take lacks empathy and is purely reactionary, it also assumes that you can permanently solve violence with a violence which obviously never works, just take a glance at human history. I think due to nature of this topic, there can never be any satisfying solution, ironically, I prefer the american model of system where they put you in jail with or without parole depending on the crime, but for some serious crimes there is a possibility of death penalty, with the prisoners being on a death row and all that stuff. Honestly, for the sake of ones mental health, it is preferable to not think about this sort of stuff
  14. Well they can be scared all they want, I don't care about it. I only view it from that guy in the costume point of view
  15. Other than this statement, I completely agree with your take, I believe everyone should be prosecuted equally and justly, according to the crime they commited, they should be treated as individuals, not looked at as a group. And I believe this is the most important factor of all, the best kinds of people are the ones who put their individuality far above their belonging to a group, to a point where they wouldn't even care or think about that group
  16. Well movie 300 was never meant to be a horror in the first place, aren't you a little biased, my majesty the Lord of Darkness? Are these types of movies thy cup of tea?
  17. It's not so clear to me what even a thought is. What is thinking? How can you really define or determine a quality of something you can't even describe? The so called visual thoughts or visualizations I can grasp, but the rest of them is something purely abstract. It seems to me that most of our actions don't really require any kind of thinking, and the only time you need to really think is when you are working on solving a problem. Other than that, you are using your memory and the ability to recall, but you are not consciously generating original thoughts. I would say that the quality of a thought is determined by it's proximity to actuality and it's complexity, ability to cover nuances. Maybe it'd even be possible to mathematically quantify these 2 variables in a simple graph with X and Y axis, somehow
  18. Only delusional echo chamber online people would care about that, regular people do not care I think
  19. Well, he chose a wrong time to be dressed in such a costume, in these times everyone is really scared about the possibility of nazis comming back so this is not completely unjustified to be honest. You should always expect knee jerk simpleton reactions out of people. Failing to do so can lead you to trouble
  20. @EdgeGod900 cause the combination of his pfp and signature is funny
  21. That's the thing though, this is not something you can just do for a period of time and get it over with, it has to be a constant consistent thing. Like a consistent pro social orientation in life. But most of us are not wired like that. You'll always have to tolerate a lot of BS
  22. Alas, a solid question being asked. Still trying to answer that one for myself
