If you are an avid user you may end up slow and retarded, weed can sort of deaden your dopamine receptors and the joy of life as well. Also there's a decent chance that you may end up developing schizophrenia, you never know if you are genetically predisposed to it or not

He definitely does have a knowledge in this area, maybe even an extensive knowledge; he's also gained a lot of experience throught maintanance of his channel, however he's been criticized in the past for certain claims he made which were not accurate or straight up being not true. It would take me ages to dig all of those up and ultimately it's not so important to me as that's besides the point; what's important to me is that the guy's intentions are just not pure, and I feel like that is needed a bit if you want to be a therapist and especially at the scale he's doing it. It's a business for him first and foremost, and very a scalable business at that; he's clearly operating within the attention economy and the number one objective is to keep being relevant within his niche, that's why he's jumping on a stupid mainstream trendy topics because he sees those are the pain points and problems of his demographics; but he's just keeping them hooked throught talking about these issues in stimulating ways but it's all just a word salad at the end of the day, just a waste of time. And honestly it is a word salad not just necessarilly because of him, but also because the topics themselves are ultimately stupid, such as the loneliness epidemic or whatever. It is just a stupid topic to think about and talk about. You should only think about what you want to do and how you want to do it lmao. But there are more topics than that, it's like he is an expert on everything when it comes to ones life, it reeks of snake oil He also offers people egregiously expensive therapy services, I'm not too familiar with all the BS associated with him but there are some people disecting it on Youtube surely I guess to answer your original point, it is not too difficult to be seen as the expert if you can keep up the charade of an expert as credibly and confidently as possible, you'll get the attention and growth throught saying the right and key words in the right way and now you are seen as trustworthy. We should stop depending on these random internet chuds to help us navigate our life, it's just retarded. Most stuff about life can be conveyed rather succinctly and understood immidiately, or you understand it throught your experience/experiences of other people/self reflection, if you have some mental issues go to therapy or get prescribed something if it's severe. Simple. Honestly, these days I'm also starting to read up on Bible; a sense of purphose in life is also an important component of psychological health that's completely being ignored nowadays; I know it's going to be largely scoffed at here (and even moreso in a "rational" atheist circles), but so what. If more people were inteligently religious like me then snake oil sellers like dr. K wouldn't be making so much cash, neither would retards like Andrew Tate be so relevant

He is indeed a grifter who keeps pumping out needlesly complicated and needlesly long winded shit videos targeted at a certain niche demographics of desperate people, alluring them with promises of solving their problems throught his specific self improvement sablons - not too unsimiliar from what this site used to be aimed at, and is still aimed at to a certain degree; however the difference is that Leo only strategically grifted during early 2010s to built some attention and capital, and then tramsitioned to a highest level philosophical topics whilst pretty much mantaining a free speech forum, which is respectable. Dr. K is just some fraud who's aim is to keep you hooked on his content, you should focus on therapy bro. That guy doesn't give a shit about you

There's no such thing as a "private island" anymore😆 Unless it's in the Mediterranean maybe

He is a self help grifter with mental health specialization

Twice the pride, double the fall as count Dooku would say -
Those are very oddly specific lmfao especially the ass bleeding. Gotta be carefull with the choice of your toilet paper, maybe smoother surfaces next time? LOL

A lot of neurodivergency is self diagnosed even if you got the official diagnosis, because psychologist have to trust you that you have enough self awareness and honesty to describe certain symptoms correctly, and vice versa you have to trust that psychologist has enough knowledge in the field, experience and awareness to gauge whether those symptoms are correctly described and whether you are being self aware enough; if you are only mildly neurodivergent then you are pretty much always situated on the boundary of self diagnosis

It is an interesting frame from which to look at this topic though, I'll give you that, it is true that there are next to no autists/highly sensitive people in politics. It is not a good enviroment for them as there is so much social bullshit stuff and there is emphasis on chasing popularity rather than seeking truth, neurotypicals mostly don't care about that shit whilst neurodivergents do a lot of the times, yeah, I can get behind that idea. Not sure about the communism stuff though. I suppose I'll read your post once you have something to say about it lol -
NewKidOnTheBlock replied to Cred's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
You do realize that neurodiversity includes stuff like ASPD, schozophrenia, even such a thing Tourette's syndrome lmao you should probably specify that you actually mean autism only. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. I mean, not that it really does even then lol I guess autistic people are uncorruptible? You learn something new every day -

He just does whatever he feels like doing, he is a quintessential example of a post modernist post trueist, even more perfect than Putin because Putin doesn't actually do whatever he feels like but there are always some strategic reasons behind what he's doing and saying. Trump just acts first and thinks later LOL and doesn't even attempt to hide anything, he's like an open book. Maybe because of his potential dementia, or maybe cause he represents what Americans are like. That's why I'm saying that huge ammount of US people seem seriously dumb to me, regardless which side of political spectrum they fall on, it's like they are shielded from reality and create their own. That's how people in the US always seemed to me -

Gotta LOL at people posting materialistic videos and stuff like that here and posing it as godly. Retards always gonna retard. Making someone feel godly, you'd think it would be something transcendent, something beyond human understanding or capacity to comprehend, or at the very least religious songs but nah. Let's post videos of Cardi B shaking her plastic BBL ass lmfao -
Damn. Talk about spawning on a legendary difficulty. Poor guy

Humans trying to become God is not a good thing imo, it simply cannot end up good. I've been pondering about some of your ideas for some time and was wondering if I can adopt them but ultimately find this trajectory wrong and degenerate and nothing good can come out of this. But that's my opinion, you'd probably call this being close minded and scared It's not a coincedence that none of these tech billionaire inovators ever seem to care about morality and ethics of all of this, as well as potential negative consequences for the human race, that's cause they don't believe in any morality or ethics and they don't care about negative consequences, they are simply accelerationists. They only serve their deranged visions

Well you see, people are always going to worship something. Be it mindless consumerism, or any other -ism, to keep it short and simple. Perhaps the expression of that worship may be different and may differentiate in intensity from individual to individual - like for example, going to the church to pray probably shows more commitment than going to a mall and spending money for things you don't really need - but the point is you always put SOME values on the pedestal in your life, be it comfort, vanity (going to the gym to build easthetic physique), etc. Those values are often programmed into you by the society you are living in. I think the solution could be inventing some sort of religion based around a societal-scale worship of higher metaphysical values such as beauty. Goodness. Modesty. Etc. We could find a way to define these values as objectively as possible and then start acting in life to embody them as much as possible; for example, building high effort, beautifull architecture again would be a good start. Just look at European medieval cathedrals, those buildings were built for one purphose only, and that was to glorify God as much as possible. And they were in no hurry to see it finished, they made sure it looked as magnificient as possible. Even common folk back then was contributing the little money they had to see this building get finished, because it was common back then to be that religious. Right now we are operating on a very shallow, material values and hence we are in the situation we are in. -

Exactly, noone gives a fuck about the church and premodern religions as we've all been on a trajectory of rejecting all forms of spirituality and going all in on rational materialism, individualism and deconstruction of tradition for little over 300+ years, and these efforts are now starting to culminate in all these crazy tech we are about to invent or discover, as well as the society we have now. So, why complaining now about lacking purpose in life, each individual should define and find his own purpose am I right? LOL well, there you have it. Let's find our unique special snowflake purpose and our special unique place in society -

Isn't this the very much desired result and a logical conclusion of a post enlightement, materialist society that only seeks to maximize the material wellbeing of our species? (At least in theory). People becoming happy worriless retards should be a good thing under such paradigms, right? Or is there something missing? -

Well we'll see how China will go about the Taiwan, there's plenty of room for idiocy there imo. By idiocy I of course mean them actually attacking the island -
Yeah the "meme" being a product of post modernism would explain it, although it's probably not so direct I suppose but the the most profound underlying cause on the causal chain would definitely be philosophical, as it always is. Yeah, my expectations were definitely subverted and my belly definitely had a good exercise from all the hilarious absordity, no need for any effort to be relatable, funny etc. I mean, who needs that. Also, who actually needs beauty, meaning, purpose, beatiful architecture, awe-inspiring art and entertainment, all we really need is a disguisting slop

This generation is full of hidden potential, future Einsteins and Newtons for sure

Clavicular is like the rotten souless minion of a devil, he makes Owen and JAL look like they have principles and a soul. I sometimes see popular gay IG accounts mentioning his name, how far do you have to fall before that starts happening LOL

I see similiarly looking people all the time, I've seen the same looking girl like 10 times these past couple of weeks, I'm sure there are like thousands of copies of my lookalikes worldwide. Maybe originality is overrated

Behold; a selfimprovementfag judging normal people as below him, utterly oblivious to the obvious futility of the concept of self improvement seeing as it's mostly socially constructed; such a surprising sight indeed

On the contrary, never chill. Always write what's on your mind and keep it gangsta even if it gets you banned
