@J beastly there is no shortcut. just don't make this longer than it needs to be. feel all the pain you need to feel. don't postpone pain.

@Serotoninluv i'm not saying that statistical significance means causation... also, those (funny) correlation charts are meticulously built, with adjustments on scales and lots of other tricks. it's easy to build an algorithm that looks for periods in which at least a pair of variables present high correlation. what i posted is completely different. i did no manipulation and i didn't cherry pick data. banks using signs to compute credit risk is an old practice and is well known by mathematicians who work in credit risk analysis agencies.

@Aldo i don't know, but banks use people's signs as a variable to decide whether they're going to give people loans or not. crazy, huh? but if you look at the data (i did) and perform hypothesis tests (i did), you will be astonished by the statistical significance of people's signs on their discipline to pay their loans. CRAZY, HUH? self-induced placebo effect? something deeper that we don't know yet? i don't know. i think @Serotoninluv would enjoy this approach. edit: here's the actual screenshot of a jupyter notebook that i was writing when analyzing a dataset containing approximately 60k clients of a bank. "True" means that the client defaulted a payment of his loan for more than 6 months. "False" means the opposite. the p-value of 0.0 is a better approximation than you'd think. if it were 1e-30 it would say "1e-30". thus you can admit that it's lower than 1e-30.

@Sauvik do it. but don't expect it to fulfill you for much longer. as you mature and grow, you will notice that there is a DEEPER level of relationship that cannot be achieved by friendships with benefits.

climbing much? live here now...

oh, the "i am of a special kind" delusion. such an old movie.

because we are nature itself. being harmful to the environment is just like being a destructive entity in your body (virus, bacteria etc).

end? what are you talking about? who are you?

@Athemnajar work with your body as well. emotions get stuck across the body and you certainly need some relaxation and body awareness practices. i can almost guarantee that you won't feel better just working inside your head and taking drugs. c'mon, it's been 4 years. try something different.

@sidaz10 i think there is something fundamentally wrong with your diet. i'm no professional, though. go to a doctor.

duality is supposed to be fully embraced with responsibility. life can't get any juicier than that. beneath duality there's nothingness (infinite potential) and duality is the result of pure magic. the fact that the universe can experience a human being, say "i", write poetry and appreciate music is just a infinitesimal display of the supreme power of existence. fight no i find what i points to for i is yet another finger

started meditating quit porn & masturbation ditched controlling mentality quit alcohol & junk food embraced emotional pain for healing purposes

ah, i see. but the sad part is that those people are usually truly smart and aware of circular logic, which makes them even more frustrated with their process of thinking... (i'm talking about my past experience with philosophy )

@Shin i'm talking about what i see, dude. i see no circular logic there. i used to be a philosopher myself. i don't know what you're doing.

this is true in so many levels... i personally know a lot of people (mostly guys for some reason) that are adept at western philosophy and are still unable to make any noticeable progress in their lives. it becomes a complete waste of mental energy and, for some reason, they become addicted to mental masturbation! contemplation and mental masturbation are the same things for them. i remember this guy in particular who was addicted to kant and his "meditation" book, which was a complete waste of time. just another game for the mind. those guys are usually pessimistic, neurotic, unfriendly and nihilistic. the mind can be a real vampire and waste vital energy.

@Paul92 fight no i find what i points to for i is yet another finger

@sk1n1m1n afaik, fibromylagia is closely related to emotional issues. do you have any severe trauma? anything related to your childhood, relationships, parents etc?

example: start a blog and teach what you have to learn. teaching is the best way to organize mental content.

@LoveandPurpose build something with the knowledge you'll need. create a real need for your learning process.

because you enjoy. there is no other reason. enjoy your life and that's all you need to do. everything else is nonsense. leo does what he does because he enjoys it in the long run.

@Paul92 what do you enjoy doing? do you have a plan to survive after your parents die?

@Paul92 i REALLY think you're trying to bypass some fundamental problems. like, can you go out and have a simple conversation with a girl? how is your relationship with your parents? are they divorced? does their relationship hurt you? don't overlook basic emotional problems. deal with them first. ground yourself. you can't go anywhere if you're just drifting around.

you're being dogmatic and that's why you're stuck. forget about what leo says and do your own investigation. as an analogy, it's like trying to solve complex ordinary differential systems without knowing how to solve simple deterministic linear systems. kill your buddhas. be your own authority. learn how to solve linear systems first.

it's not neo advaita. it's just people. people take their ignorance to wherever they go. the world is full of ignorant "christians", "buddhists", "yogis", "atheists", "agnostics" etc.

@kieranperez thank you. i'm gonna watch it later.
