Goone, but not forgotten.

Got it. Neither was I.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just so you know, I was quite clear on my view of these worlds: there might be a real principle underlying the expression, but it is woo-woo - the show and presentation, and how it is pictured. There's a reason why the positive thinking movement is so popular, easy to consume, and entertaining. It makes people feel that wishing for something is more significant than what it really is. Go for what's real, not for what merely sounds good or is just self-affirming. We might sometimes have a hard time discerning which is which but it is worthwhile to recognize this.

Sure. Just saying that this kind of entertainment tends to end up becoming a form of pretension. But if you can make it work, it works. If it's useful, then that's that. It's more about assessing the purpose of the so-called communication.

But this kind of 'spiritual' resources is what I mean by wishful thinking. It sounds good and profound but what is the video doing? There could be a principle behind it. That could be useful. Educating people on how to access that would take a different form than giving a set of claims that are implicitly made to be believed. In the end what it does is filling people's heads with good-sounding ideas. It's entertainment.

This does nothing other than providing you with a fun time for as long as the video lasts. Also, it gives the vibes of AI voice over. Stinks of BS mostly. We all love a good fortune cookie once in a while.

@Cathy92506 Weren't you a duplicate account?

Too maverick to be nonconformist. 🐠😎

Having it known, so to speak, tends to undermine our experience of the emotion. It makes us feel like we know what we're talking about, while in truth a lot of that is disguised ignorance in the form of a "map." Yeah, my gripe is with getting lost in the mapping and not really recognizing the difference between these two domains. This sounds like a basic point, and yet it's easily missed. Also, it's real. Look into it: Why would the physical act of obstruction necessarily ignite or inspire anger in oneself? You can be walking beside a construction site and be met with a bunch of bricks falling just in front of you, making you pause. Not only will you not be angry, you'll be glad that you stopped in your tracks. Notice that you can not get angry when merely physically obstructed. If you get angry as a result of that, it suggests you wanted to do something but didn't get your way, and so you felt hurt, which the anger is trying to manage. I claim this is inextricably linked to a feeling of incapacity. Hurt is core to anger. It is something to look into. Pain's contribution to life is huge. Hierarchies are fine, and yet they are not necessary and are hearsay when it comes to one's experience of the emotion. I find such pursuits tend to distract us and keep us stuck in intellectual considerations, and so are superficial in this case. Not saying such overlays can't be useful - they just have very little to do with the actuality and presence of the thing itself. What actually occurs so that that emotion arises?

The point of competition is usually winning. Especially in a professional setting, that's what the team effort is about.

But anger is quite fundamental to the human experience - it's a form of pain, rooted in the sense of feeling hurt. I've never understood the need to fit emotions into a model or hierarchies. Anger is whatever it is. That's my gripe with it. Most of what you said I'd agree with and find reasonable. Give pain some love.

Ew. Propietary format by Microslop.

Martial arts actually originated out of monks trying to get enlightened. Nothing as enlightening as a 'slap' in the face.

Got it. You may want to consult a professional dietitian or doctor, then.

Finally, something coming from the heart.

I'd agree with the last two sentences. What do you mean by 'low', though?

Is this AI? Hello there.

I'll remain open and see.

"Jesse!"

Have we achieved AGI yet? There's often a lot of smoke and wishful thinking around these topics.

Actually... It can be relatively painless to set up a new Linux system. Spreading the word! I'm just a humble servant.

Nothing like a good mango.
