It highly depends were you are at in your life at the moment. What is on your mind, what interests you?

How about someone who was vegan because of a moral conviction, then changes perspective but stays vegan for reasons of health, habit, taste, being disgusted of eating cadavers... ? Animals in agriculture are bred and fed only for producing something for humans. Humans end their lives and that's not ideal from the animal's perspective. Yet, without benefit for humans, they would not live at all. If it was possible to ask an animal's soul before birth wether they want to be born, live for a while at least and then be killed, or not live at all, would it agree? If I would ask you if you would rather watch 75% of a movie and never see the end or not watch the movie at all, then it's obvious. But life is valuable, no matter how long. Say you would win 10,000 USD in the lottery. That's not a jackpot. But it's not worth nothing. So, if someone changed their perspective in this way, staying vegan (for other reasons) or not staying vegan, would that have implications of the development stage according to Spiral Dynamics?

Sex is just an instinct that people have. You can watch animals having sex in the Discovery channel. It's comical. Humans having sex is just like that. Watching porn or generally the interest in seeing images of attractive people comes from the interest in mating opportunities with the most attractive partner possible. Obviously, seeing an attractive image of a super model or an actress in a movie, or a porn performer, is not a real mating opportunity. It's a brain hack of an animal instinct that we have. Humans look all the same. There are 2 models. Differences are actually not that big. Bodies are vehicles and they are all weird. The human body is just as weird as a platypus or a horse or any other kind of animal. If you have seen one man and one woman naked, you have seen them all. The same goes for porn. It's more or less acrobatic performance. Boring. Porn is not evil. Everything that is declared bad about sex goes back to men wanting to control women. Men want sex. Women control who gets sex. Men invented morals around women being sexual is bad and implemented it into religion to give it authority. I wouldn't want to do porn or want a girlfriend who did porn but some people have a free attitude towards sex. Why shouldn't they do porn? I don't see anything wrong with that. Women being forced into prostitution is sad but that is something different than a self-confident woman who choses to do porn. Nothing wrong with that. Did I sufficiently spoil porn for you, yet?

Can skating be a life purpose?

Vitamin B12 (other B-Vitamins and Folic Acid as well) Omega 3 (linseed oil is 50% Omega 3 and very affordable, Chia oil is 60% Omega 3, both vegan, obviously) Both helped me a lot.

When you consider the total time that the Universe exists, the human life is very brief. You could say, every living being is a dead being on holiday. Most of the time, you're dead. Your time on Earth is your holiday. There's nothing important to do. If you seek for a deep universal meaning, you will find deep despair. There is no universal meaning, no meaning that is The meaning for everyone. That does not mean that there is no meaning. You can choose one. The backside of that freedom is that you have to choose a meaning. If you don't choose a personal meaning, you'll have none and your stay on Earth won't be enjoyable. It's a hassle but it's still freedom. The bottom line is: If you're on holiday, the most important thing is to enjoy the experience. Why do people fly to some tropical beach? What's there to do? Why do people fly to Paris, Rome or Tokyo? They walk around, do sight-seeing, go eat. What's the point? I didn't understand this for most of my life. And I was angry that someone put me into this world. Don't bother killing yourself. You will naturally die in a blink of an eye anyway. Pick something that feels right to do and do that. Enjoy your holiday.

T99 - The Skydreamer 1992

At first I got the impression that mister Carrano is really full of himself but I listened and I have to say it was worth it.

I thought, I'd open a thread to post all those videos that I find helpful for personal growth and inspiration. First is Ray Dalio. Dalio shares many noteworthy thoughts how to develop yourself, learning from failure, working with your weaknesses, meditation etc.. After a while he talks about finance.
