You'll keep thinking that until you start to suffer from the consequences of these poor choices, mantaining health is not about increasing the enjoyment of life, but rather prevention of tremendious future suffering. Ofc, people can overdo it with their caution and worry about health, there are sligjtly unhealthy lifestyles you can have that make a very little, or only a marginal difference in terms of your future health, compared to a "perfect" (if it exists) lifestyle - but drinking alcohol and taking crystal meth do not belong to that category

I can see how that could be considered a moral booster. The Japanese were sweating their balls off, doing their best to try to survive, while Americans were munching on their ice creams. LOL

Have been and will be going throught significant dopamine reduction (I'll still play a games here and there, but anything else is off the table). I am still intending to abide by the simple ✅️ system I have created for myself as well ofc. Too much pleasure just makes me weak and disconected

Must be such a great feeling, screwing yourself with a rubber

Never understood this tendency of islam to turn their own women into tanks, you would think a religion which originated from such a hot, dry weather would appreciate the opposite. Modesty is fine and should be encouraged, but not for the price of basic human rights and decency. This is abysmal. Poor women

The biggest problem is that, getting a bigger pay neccesitates becomming some corporal managerial fa(g), and making that your entire identity. Or some influencer fa(g) if you wanna chart those filthy waters. I need to learn languages of rich countries so that I can hopefully get a higher paying job, without having to becomme managerial fa(g) and still get paid significantly more. At least attempt it fr fr

I'm keeping the flat tho, will surely come in handy for various purposes. Never renting it to anyone either. It's just so predatory, why would I want to rent it to someone if me, myself, wouldn't want to be paying rent to someone. Kinda breaks the "do onto others only what you wish them do onto you" principle. (Ofc I'm only counting humans in this rule) I've moved most of my stuff here tho. So for the matters of sheer practicality, one of the first courses of action will be to slowly, but surely replenish the necessary-item-stock in that other place Yeah my ass playing real life Monopoly, kinda. So what. Gotta have some variety in life

Going to build something on the side that I am going to eventually own. Have always been my plan anyway, as well as the most realistic option. Yet another reason to make something of myself

Cities are no places for a human to live, man. Cities are where you get your bread from, and then you return back to a much smaller, close knit community. Also becomming apparent

This site and all of self improvement is bullshit. It is starting to be more than apparent to me

Why pay a tax that you can easilly avoid paying. By just not being in that city for a period longer than half a year. I don't think this is a good example I would most likely try to avoid paying taxes. Gotta be honest about that. I don't think someone can be a non corrupted billionaire, it's just too much money at that point, too much leverage and consequently power. It would surely corrupt you

I feel like he's right and loneliness indeed is an unsolvable kind of problem. At the same time... I feel like people have always been kind of lonely, and it's not really some new phenomena. Like, there always was a basic baseline of loneliness that always permeated through all ages and societies, and is just one of the consequences/byproducts of the human condition. Idk, maybe I'm onto absolutely nothin here, but whatever. In short - it was always kind of bad, but now we've trully exposed our nature throught technological progress - which is that, althought we are inherently craving connection, our tendency is also to be anti social, especially if the enviroment allows and encourages it But also, loneliness is such a conundrum, like, what is it really. Is it a feeling of low self worth because of absence of people, a lack of self love, or the absence of the real you being heard/noticed/validated? Is it a perspective? Is it lack of sex and romance? Is it a kind of serotonin and dopamin addiction programmed into our brains by evolution? Is it a lack of second party feedback, validating our existence and questioning/approving our actions? Is it a lack of understanding in regards to relating to other people, i.e. skill issue? Is it a continious sense of lack of commonality with others? Or is it all these things above and more? Well, all I know is that chances are high I'm never going to be able to completely solve it. It will always be present in my life in one form or the other, all I can do is to lessen the negative impacts as much as possible

There are better ways to spend your limited time that yeld much more certain results. Such as optimizing your 9-5 career, working out, etc. Better than trying to add value to this faggy economy by attempting to create a bussiness of your own. And an online business, nontheless, probably the kind that, if you were to trully analyze it, provides zero actual value to other people Or even just chillin and playin video games. At least you're enjoying yourself And yeah, forex is obviously BS, I thought we didn't have to go over this. But good luck I guess

Well, regardless of the ammount of spiritual work you think you've done on yourself, or the kind of understanding you think you have, you will keep appearing as a human, with all the humaness that comes with that. There'a no escaping that

I find this concept of generational trauma, or nation/ethnic wide trauma very sketchy. People just use it as an excuse to justify their bad behaviour. Yes, your ancestors suffered absolutely unimaginable horrors, but they're not you. You didn't have to suffer one bit, in fact you lived your whole life in a cushy comfort of a relatively well developed, established and secure country that you can actually call your own. And so did your parents. So, I don't think this is the way it works. But I could be wrong I guess. I just think it's BS But also, let's not pretend like the states neighbouring Israel wanted it to even exist, I think therein lies the crux of the problem - I mean, Israel was immidiatelly attacked by everyone literaly upon it's creation. Muslim population in the middle east never wanted it to exist, as they've been settled in that area for well over 1000 years. And with the kind of mindset zionists bring to the table, it's just impossible for any kind of deescalation or peace to take place in there

Wrong. It's severely below replacement levels, at minimum it should be 2,1 children born per woman and it is just measly 1,52 children per woman in reality. And it is that way in all countries that aren't 3d world countries. And yeah, that's not good for functioning of society in the long term or even mid term, however you define it, this is not just about some pesky pension system. And no, it's not dependent on how well you're doing or how much free time you have, it's about the culture and social conditioning. As well as a clearly defined relations between men and women, i.e. women had certain roles and men had certain roles, depending on what was needed of them by society. People in the past were working all the time, were dirt poor and yet were producing much more children than we are producing. I will also ignore your pathetic attempt at ad hominem, seeing as it brings nothing to this conversation

Stuff like this is just a consequence of how feminists are trying to solve the male to female relation crisis we are experiencing nowadays, according to their worldview of how an ideal version of these relations should look like and how the power dynamics should be. People in control of Sweden are going for the uni gender solution, meaning viewing ourselves, men and women, as basically the same people, the only difference being the genitalia. Socially conditioning women to want to feel empowered, and condition men to be more emotional, kind and shit like that. Ofc that's not really going to solve anything significant, and by significant I mean the current birth rate issues, and generally accepted scripts for how men and women should ideally relate to each other. That is not to say that I agree with you either tho. I don't really think there's some objective, 100% correct magical solution out there that would work on a societal level

Provided that you really actually are a narcisist, there aren't so many options for you in all honesty, seeing as it's hard for narcisists to adapt due to their highly inflexible ego. But depends on how much of a narcisist you are as well, or whether you are a narcisist in the first place, having wrongly self diagnosed yourself. Psychology is pseudo sciency to a significant degree

No, the biggest problem of EU is that we're too divided, and we got trojan horses like Hungary who make things unnecessarilly difficult for us. US and China doesn't have that problem

Predicting the downfall of the EU and Europe in general, despite the fact that they have not been surpassed technologically or economically by countries with your culture since the early Middle Ages, is a rather bold assumption, don't you think?

An alternative post WW2 narrative could be set once the world starts to believe that nazism would be impossible to recreate ever again, given the historical, geopolitical, cultural and economic circumstances of our era (as opposed to pre WW2 era) are significantly different. Granted, unhealthy nationalism is still very much possible, but not to the extent of the kind of ideological extremity which national socialism represented (presenting and framing reality as an eternal conflict and strugle of races and nations, essentially as a biological fact, etc.) After such realization, we would be able to set nazism as an isolated historical event - the one which has no bearing on us today, since nobody would feel threatened by it anymore. In the same way as Genghis Khan, Mao Ce-Tung, etc.

I can assure you that there will be no pension for any of us, certainly not if you happened to be born somewhere around this century. And the only thing that will ever be done about it in terms of politics, is raising age of retirement and raising taxes. Exactly like in the example above. You can only depend on yourself

It's actually crazy to think about how just about 85 years prior, germans were this highly militarized, highly motivated and unstopable force of nature just tearing throught Europe, not being that far from defeating Russia and it took entire world uniting against them to put them down. Nowadays, they barely even have a professional army. LOL

https://youtube.com/@uberbintegers?si=PezXq3a_f3bHBYT9 Really like this guy. One of the most emotionally inteligent people I've ever seen, and has the best view of these issues I've ever seen so far Makes me wonder what self improvement is even for if you are doing it to fit someone else's standard, when really what you want is being connected to others, but as an extention of being connected to yourself, by sharing your true self. Not some self improved masked self

Never assume you are more inteligent than others. Because you are most likely wrong. Humility is a good thing to cultivate in general, not just in this instance, but for everything
