Are there any 100% stainless steel? Many contain aluminum, too.

What do you mean by internalize? Go after principles instead. Ironically, when it comes to performing, just focusing on the result is a misstep--you need to pay attention to what precedes the result of any given process and catch yourself whenever a step wasn't appropriately done or wasn't done as well, as demanded by your goal. It's like wanting your own grown tree right now without having done the requisite prior work. Watering the land, for example, comes after planting the seeds. At some point then, with the right conditions, and by being aware of the whole process throughout, you'll have a tree of your own. Focusing on what precedes the end result is key.

You know, now that you say that, I refuse to die. "Catch me if you can!" This could make for a nice taoist poem.

@Husseinisdoingfine Watch the use of capslock.

You start by allowing yourself to be bored and tedious instead of unconsciously resisting it, which is often what occurs. Why do we generally seem to dislike boredom and the mundane? Call it Enlightened Boredom.

Would like to make this at some point:

Let's concede that certain observations might be "factual", just maybe. Given that, what's threatened by certain posts may precisely be "selfishness", as something within you gets confronted by an occurrence that is by nature independent of your self-agenda.

Wishful thinking aside, we might not comprehend what life is. What is life for real? Better to question that.

Since you bring up life, in the end you'll die.

Can you summarize your point? What are you asking or trying to get across?

Existentially, I'd say it doesn't exist by itself; communication is an activity. I take my experience as it is, without bias or any form of distortion, and "hand it over" to you so that you get it as it is--that seems to be the core of what communication is. Clearly, talking about it is much easier than doing it in practice, as we find many obstacles to it--on our own part, mostly--in our daily lives. It is a worthy question to look into.

Letting you know beforehand that recruiting to external chats and excessive self-promotion is not allowed, just in case you were intending to do that. In any case, feel free to post!

What does he mean by existing? A human body, as far as I know, can't survive without oxygen for long.

Hence insanity, too, no?

What I'm saying is that this debate is intellectual. As such, it is superficial compared to getting the one who is asking the question. I felt "zenny" today.

This is GPT's response:

@Leo Gura What about the streamer guy?

Nobody questions the self that is believing in solipsism.

Why not meditate for some time and get your mind focused elsewhere?

@Javfly33 okey dokey.

@Javfly33 Like I've implied elsewhere, destroying one's beliefs isn't as welcomed as adopting new ones that seem promising. I'm pointing out your relationship to this matter which is grounded on a slippery foundation. Understanding this isn't the problem as much as it is "experiencing" it. In other words, the direction of dispelling one's own beliefs is more fruitful than pretending that a belief or set thereof is true--if the goal is arriving at the truth. Take care.

Blueberry captures the nuance better than Cheese.
