I won't be able to articulate it very well right now, but to me it isn't really about her character or her story - those are rather secondary. The gist of it, from what I hear in her videos, is a subtext that essentially says: "believe me, admire me." This is the main problem. The purpose of her videos seems more directed toward serving her own agenda than toward actually communicating something, opening up possibilities, or facilitating others. She's creating followers and believers of her way of seeing the world. There's no real questioning or openness - just a stream of assertions you're supposed to take on faith. Something along those lines. I suspect most people won't hear those "communications" that way and will instead get caught up in the content, delivery, or their own reaction to it. It's basically: trust me, believe me. This is how reality is - because I say so. I could elaborate, but ask: What is she up to? Beyond the entertainment and validation and how it makes me feel, what is the communication directed at? What is its purpose? What is it doing?

@Xonas Pitfall ?

Tell them what - and why?

🤔

- No water. - But reality!

Okay, maybe. Then again, setting the stories aside, try living with some of those guys for a week and see if they can function, or stay healthy, without some of those basic needs for any length of time.

What? I'm saying that not sleeping (or not drinking water) for just a day or two will start to fuck you up - let alone going weeks without them. Analogously, hardware is hardware: it functions in a particular way because that's what makes it that specific form of hardware in the first place. Its specificity is the whole point. I suspect you might be reacting to what comes off as my assertiveness or arrogance, which could be read as closed-mindedness - but either way, it's fine.

Space is relative!

Get to work already!

@Sugarcoat I'd add that we tend to overeat or snack more for emotional reasons than physiological ones. A common test for so-called genuine hunger is whether you'd actually want an apple or some other piece of fruit. We rarely eat chocolate cookies or anything similar because we're hungry; usually it's because we're bored, stressed, in pain, and so on. This isn't medical advice, by the way - I'm just talking out of my ass. But it sounds like you've got things handled, and the other members here are giving better advice than I am. So that's that.

Does that really matter? Become conscious of the truth for yourself. Short of that, anything you or anyone else has is just a belief, conclusion, or guess - a kind of faith, or at best the notion of an unrealized possibility that is, by definition, unknown - until you get it for yourself.
