There is no-one here to perceive the "genius" of your post, am I right?🤭🧘‍♂️

It is never too late to give up

Yes. Veganism is BS

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

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

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

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

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?

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

Only delusional echo chamber online people would care about that, regular people do not care I think

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

@EdgeGod900 cause the combination of his pfp and signature is funny

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

Based

Alas, a solid question being asked. Still trying to answer that one for myself

Problem is that people are too paranoid and are blowing things out of proportion, so what can lefties really do about it, they have to pick the most opposite side on the immigration spectrum. People do not think in nuance in general, for them it has to be either this way or the other way. Either we build a giant wall on the borders and sent all those who we deem to be illegal immigrants back to where they came from, or we should just let everyone get in freely because world is sunshine and rainbows. And even if there are some people on both sides who do think in nuance, for example conservatives who think Trump is taking it too far, or leftists who are for some border restrictions, your election choices are always just binary. People really are simpletons with knee jerk reactions to everything, and spreading of propaganda, misinformation and wishfull thinking from both sides (of course Trump holds a majority share of all of those) is making this situation even more complicated and making people even more dead set in their views.

Can't you think for yourselves, or read a book? LOL

This is what magical thinking does to you. Think about it, you are asking us how to actualize your life purpose in one of the worst countries in the world, amidst 3 year confict and in the worst overall situation it's ever been in, and you want to make changes in politics out of all places. What are we supposed to tell you? My advice would be to think realistically, think for yourself and plan to eventually exit the country

Wow that's a hell of a fast reader. Is he like this guy by any chance?

What number would you propose as a rough estimate of the number of books out there worth reading, besides your book list?

Like I said, if you're trying to make money in any way - regardless whether by getting a specific job, attempting to start a specific business, etc. - you need very specific skills and knowledge, i.e. the kind of skills and knowledge market finds usefull or entertaining at the moment. If we're talking strictly about studying via reading books, the kind of books you'd study in order to make money would be a very, very narrow subset of all books available worldwide - and in my opinion, self improvement books would not be included in that subset cause ironically, they're mostly junk and would not serve you in any utilitarian sense.

Do not try to memorize the information or have any goal whilst reading. Do it for the joy of it, the same way you'd enjoy drinking a coffee, you should enjoy reading a book. Just plunge into it page by page and explore that books's perspective. I mean, who are you trying to memorize the information for anyway, the teacher? Life is not a school tho. If life circumstances find it fitting, they'll have you recall that information, and if you won't be able to recall the information, just re-read the book or that particuliar passage of the book. It's that simple. If you're trying to win some sort of capitalist game by reading books then you are wasting your time of course.

Someone should make memes about the "love will find you by itself when you least expect it" thing. It's so often repeated by most people, almost always unsolicited too lmao

That makes sense in their case, since Afghans are sandwiched between states who are also on the same kind of wavelength as they are, and they've been attacked and occupied by the mightiest empires of their time. Which is pretty interesting given how uninteresting their country is strategically relative to other countries that could have been attacked instead. I'm not surprised why taliban exist, and it's true that they are pretty chill relative to how bad they could be

Hate to be such a debbie downer all the time, but this + the replies do be sounding like a whole lot of cope😂 But at the end of the day, that's what life is about, finding better and more sophisticated copes, so whatever. All my validation comes from my beautifull pristine spiritual being, who needs all those pesky humans
