  1. Same bullshit as the claims that Iraqis were taking Kuwaiti babies out of incubators and throwing them on the ground. They are just recycling the same stories at this point. It never happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony I'm also confused... are the Chechan's on Russia's side or Ukraine's side? I thought they hate Russia and have a long history of conflict with Russia themselves: https://oc-media.org/features/we-have-only-one-enemy-this-is-russia-the-chechens-taking-up-arms-for-ukraine/ How do we know this dude isn't pretending to take Russia's side, just to put out BS propaganda that makes Russia look bad? If they ARE doing crazy stuff to babies, how do we know these orders are official and coming from Russia and not just psycho Chechens doing their own thing?
  2. How much effort did you really put in? How many people did you talk to? How many months did you try for? Just change your default state, EZ. It takes time though. Some people turn their life around, lose 100+ lbs and keep it off for the rest of their life. Some people stop smoking weed all day and go on to be productive members of society for the rest of their life. Lots of people don't go back to their previous state. That alone disproves your theory.
  3. In my opinion, only if you seek the truth at any cost. I don't think boredom is a good enough excuse. There is enough to do in everyday conventional life to fill many, many lifetimes. It also seems to be a natural development/progression of being a more developed person, or living in a more stable and developed society. Boredom as we know it seems like a pretty new development. Caused by social media shortening attention spans, too much free time, purposelessness. If you're bored, just take a 5 minute walk in any direction and something new and interesting will probably present itself.
  4. are you male or female do you want pectoral muscles or boobs
  5. the king is back get those youtube downloader links ready if you wanna watch the whole thing jk
  6. Sorry to hear the job fell through, but I'm glad you aren't too upset about it, and hopefully you can find success elsewhere really soon. You're stronger than I am, great job at sticking to your morals and values. You can tell your grandkids that you did what you felt was right in the face of extreme adversity and consequences. Once you've created some of your own work, let me know, I'd love to watch and support it. But they can force you to accept theirs, right? Yeah it sounds like moreso than just a miscommunication, the person relaying the information was intentionally malicious and sabotaged you because of their own strong beliefs about vaccines. Either way, it sounds like you dodged a bullet in the long term.
  7. Yeah. By all accounts if you examined my life I should be an incel. 5'6", overweight most of my life, introverted and a bit socially awkward (although people say I make good first impressions). But I've still had multiple relationships and now married. When I think about it, most women in my life have approached me or expressed an interest in me first. I don't know if I've ever asked a girl out or escalated unless I already pretty much knew there was a 100% chance of success. I was thinking a while back how even back to elementary school, I realized in retrospect that I had missed all these signs that probably at least 4 different girls were very strongly hinting they were interested in me. Sometimes they would even say it explicitly. My self esteem was so low that I just thought they were trolling or something and I brushed it off, even saying no to girls asking to hang out, etc in a few cases. There have probably been numerous more subtle cases that I haven't even realized yet because I'm just socially clueless. I can't really explain it except luck. I don't think I've actually met a self-identifying incel in real life, so maybe I'm underestimating how abrasive they are. Or maybe I do have some "inexplicable charm" as you put it that draws women to me. "Not having to try" is a general theme in my life I guess, I pretty much just coast through and get everything I need effortlessly lol. If I had to put in real effort / face adversity and I wasn't just lucky, I'd be fucked.
  8. How do you know you're correct that Russia is the true aggressor in this situation? Because that's what Western governments tell you? Very few people are total psychos that will just attack without some rationalization in their mind for why they're in the right. You especially can't get away with that on a national level when you have constituents to report to. Everyone on every side of every war in history has thought they were on the right. Otherwise they would've stopped fighting. Keep in mind that all of history has only been written from the winner's point of view. Yes, I listen to podcasts and videos put out by groups that the ADL and other organizations label as hate groups. On both the extreme right and left end of the spectrum. It's not just virtue signaling for me. I think freedom of speech should be nearly absolute. You can never trust the people who have the power to silence others, they always have an agenda. Even if in their own mind it's a noble and virtuous agenda that will make the world a better place. Like I said above, no one thinks they're evil. Especially the people who currently think they're on the right side of history.
  9. MSNBC, CNN have a lot of pro-American, pro-Biden propaganda videos Is the Biden admin paying the US media to do positive coverage of Ukraine, like how they gave news companies $1B in total through the "COVID-19 Public Education Campaign" to encourage the kind of coverage of COVID-19 they wanted? Would that be close enough to be considered state-sponsored media? I guess we'll find out eventually. They've already done it to mislead the American public about how bad inflation really is too: https://nypost.com/2021/12/08/white-house-working-with-media-to-get-positive-biden-coverage/ Quote from the article: "The media treats Biden as badly as — or worse than — Trump" Come the fuck on. His handlers won't even allow the dude to answer questions from the media after press conferences, or when they do, it's pre-selected softball questions Your non-propaganda, totally not all orchestrated behind the scenes, US news in action:
  10. nice. absolute gigachad jawline can you squat 200 lbs below parallel tho
  11. I was obsessed with this plant and knew everything about it at one point. I had 4 or 5 nice big healthy plants, 2 different strains. Wasson-Hoffman and Blosser, I think. I only ever took enough leaves to make a big wad and chew it once. I didnt experience anything except it made my legs feel really light, like they were floating. Even when I was standing it was like I weighed maybe 50 lbs. This was like 2015 or earlier way before I was into anything truly spiritual though. Never tried the extracts, I feel like it would be a disrespect to the plant and it would kick my ass for it. Sadly I moved across the ocean and had to get rid of all of my plants :(. After a couple kids did 40x extract and jumped out windows and Miley Cyrus talked about salvia, a bunch of governments including mine made even the plant illegal to buy or grow :((( I havent seen any cuttings for sale since, although I also haven't looked in recent years. This is one plant I really feel a spiritual connection to and like I have an obligation to grow it, never felt anything like that before. There truly is something that gives it a sacred vibe, even though it just looks like an unassuming house plant. Other types of salvia are common garden plants that look very similar and I dont get the same vibe from them. It's like the plant is concious and wants to be worshipped, it raises your vibration to be in the same room with it, like you're in the presence of Buddha or some shit, its nuts.
  12. Any time you find yourself making hyperbolic statements like this, it's a good time to double-check your own bias. If the Taliban is a barbaric corrupt terrorist organization, then wtf do you call America? Glorious enlightened freedom liberators?
  13. 80 IQ: getting laid makes me feel good so I like it 100 IQ: pickup objectifies and preys on vulnerable women so its wrong 120 IQ: getting laid messes up your dopamine and motivation so its wrong 150 IQ: what's the point of getting laid if everything is imaginary 200 IQ: OH GOD IM COOMING. EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING IS COOMING TOGETHER. IM HAVING SEX WITH MYSELF. OH GOD.
  14. Yes, Contribution / Impact is one of my top values and I combined them. You could even combine Significance, although I had Excellence/Significance separately. For Values Pass 5 my definition of Contribution / Impact is: Having my name and ideas be known Mentioned in books and articles My ideas or inventions being used a generation from now or built upon Making existing products better than anything else that's been done and building upon them I see it as a less toxic alternative to seeking fame/celebrity/recognition/reputation/prestige I treat it as a must-have when filtering out whether a particular activity could be a life purpose or not. It helps prevent me from picking something overly niche that will only help a handful of people. I use it to determine the overall scale of my life purpose. You could interpret it differently. If your life purpose is to be a great parent, then you can have a massive impact on just one or two children. If you interpret it that way, then it's about how profoundly you change someone's life. But personally I'm looking to have impact on a societal/cultural level.
  15. I think so. I refer to it as psychic vampirism. You've probably had an experience with friends, family members, or coworkers who seem to suck the atmosphere out of a room as soon as they walk in and drag everybody down. These people emotionally drain energy out of other people around them. It can be intentional psychic attack, but in most cases it's unintentional. Every time you engage in drama, upset someone, rely on them for support and advice, or are just in a bad mood around someone else, you're probably unintentionally stealing energy from them. You probably weren't engaged in that kind of activity at a retreat though, so it's not obvious what the mechanism would have been. Maybe she was attracted to you and so distracted by her thoughts that she couldn't get into state herself. Opposite of being a psychic vampire, maybe she was unintentionally feeding that desire and energy to you.
  16. I would avoid trying to self-diagnose yourself with a mental disorder and turning that into an excuse, a crutch, or a center point of your personality. If you really want to find out, I would go see a psychiatrist or psychologist to get formally diagnosed. Maybe you are schizoid. But also maybe you're autistic, or just asexual. Maybe you're just on the extreme low end of what's normal for empathy. Or you're just an introvert. Or it's social anxiety masquerading as a lack of interest in socializing. You probably know yourself better than anybody. So if you can't figure it out, strangers on a forum probably aren't going to be very effective either. Get a professional to help figure it out. Especially if the idea has been bothering you for a while or it's something you think about a lot, as opposed to just a passing curiosity. Once you have a formal diagnosis then a therapist can help you put together a treatment plan, if you'd like to develop closer relationships. Or help treat associated conditions like anxiety or depression.
  17. It's not contradictory, you're just conflating two separate issues. Having sex with 20 different women over the course of your life before settling down vs. Having ongoing sexual relationships with 20 women simultaneously Sleeping around when you aren't in a relationship is not polygamy. It's a temporary life situation. If you aren't doing it for a religious reason, then usually I'd say yeah. Unless there is some moral reason why you're only sleeping with one person, then for most people it's simply due to the fact that you can't get more than one person to sleep with you. Imagine if you only ever tasted 1 fruit and then had to choose your favorite fruit, vs tasting 20 or 100 fruits. What if you only tried one banana, but it was either incredibly under-ripe or rotten. How would that impact your overall view of what a banana is like? It gives you a lot more perspective and nuance about what's available and allows you to figure out what it is that you actually like
  18. A no fly zone puts NATO at obligation to shoot down any Russian jets that enter the airspace. This puts the US at war with Russia by default if (when) it happens. Maybe nukes get involved, maybe they dont. But the action sends the clear message that we are willing to start WW3 over Ukraine, and probably would. Conventional warfare on a global scale for the next 4-5 years would be hell enough even without nukes. Dont think that just because it didnt come to the shores of the US during WW2, that you'll be safe at home this time. If the options are WW3 or give Russia a couple provinces and hope they dont do it again in a few more years, I'm gonna go with the latter.
  19. Can you provide any sort of document or formal declaration where world governments declared that their global agenda was love and unification? I have personally never heard this. (Not just in a baseless way where they say something that sounds nice, and then go on supporting and funding wars. After they make such a statement, I expect their actions to match their words) Would you feel differently if the global agenda changed to something that you strongly disagreed with on a moral level? Or do you think we should always go along with the global agenda "for the greater good"?
  20. See Leo's post about it here: I'm guessing it'll all be back up and running in a week or less. If it's any consolation, I've had access to the course since 2015 and this is the first time I've seen the videos go down or become inaccessible. Aside from occasionally just the entire site being slow.
  21. Is this 1% thing in their Terms of Service or they are just randomly deciding this all of a sudden? Sounds like some bullshit. Not the most spiritual approach but I would be making a Youtube video about it and roasting them on social media. As an influencer with 1M followers you can do a lot more PR damage than $5k. Just be sure you've got backups before doing that and getting fully terminated I know a podcaster that was self-hosting episodes on their "unlimited" web hosting only to find out it's not truly unlimited, sort of a similar situation. They at least negotiated a month or two with their host to find time to relocate their content. I feel like you could probably pay a virtual assistant to transfer all the files to a new service for you and link everything back up for under $5k. Probably cheaper and less stressful than negotiating with people holding your content hostage in the long run. Not to minimize Actualized.org but I'm surprised you're in the top 1% of Vimeo clients alongside brands like Starbucks, American Airlines, CVS, etc. This might be the canary in the coalmine... move now or be forced to move anyway when they become insolvent in another 5 years.
  22. Every self-hosted video on the blog is unavailable, not just the solipsism ones. All the videos inside the Life Purpose Course are also unavailable lol. Either he accidentally let his Vimeo account lapse or they are having some major technical problems on the backend.
  23. Wtf is the maze of life lol Still way way overthinking 1. If the last 500 videos didn't do it for you, why do you think the solipsism video is going to instantly awaken you and solve all your problems? More cope. There is no magic pill, the solipsism video isn't a magic pill. I caught it in full before it was pulled down and I'm not enlightened. Presumably you already watched the videos titled: Spiritual enlightenment - the most shocking truth, What to do after learning about enlightenment, Spiritual enlightenment part 2, enlightenment part 3, how to become enlightened - the exact step by step process revealed (he literally has a video called this lmao, if this didn't do it for you, I don't know what will.) Enlightenment FAQ 1 and 2. How isn't that enough for you? 2. The solipsism has been reuploaded multiple times, you can do a really basic search and find it if it's that important to you You need a break and you're overthinking Mega overthinking and also probably hypochondria. If you ate anything containing wheat or corn or refined sugar today there is probably a whole list of things to worry about before heavy metals. Most people live empty meaningless lives, with or without Actualized.org. If you've been at this for a year or more without seeing an improvement, obviously it's not working and maybe it's time to try something else instead. Lots of non-spiritual people also live extremely meaningful happy lives without ever thinking about spiritual stuff. How much time do you think Elon Musk or MrBeast have devoted to enlightenment?
  24. If you have to even ask yourself the question, the answer is yes. I also don't even know what you mean by Actualized.org Actualized.org is the spiritual practices. How much do you really need to get started? Watch a 2 hour video on meditation or whatever and you have practical steps you can take for months without coming back to it. This sounds like cope for the sake of maintaining an addiction. How are you defining Actualized.org? Are you addicted to the videos? Are you addicted to the forum? If you have an unhealthy relationship with any of the material then you should take a break. If you find it difficult to take a break, that indicates 10x more that you need to take a break. 10,000% overthinking it. Pure cope, using spiritual devilry to avoid real responsibility in your life. You don't need balance, you need to forget everything spiritual and go back to just being a normal human for a month.
