  1. See, this is why I don't understand this whole "we're working on this amazing technology to advance humanity" bullshit. If that's the case, why you launching PORN to ChatGPT? https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2025/10/15/ai-porn-is-coming-to-chatgpt-in-december/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
  2. My experience of me is central in my head, behind the eyes. When I experience an itch in my foot, I clearly notice a signal from a distant place (foot). The I noticing the itch is behind the eyes as usual. I've never experienced my life from any other area of the body. I don't experience life from the knees, I experience it from behind the eyes. This is where the "I" lives. However, when I close my eyes or get lost in thought, the "I" sort of... disappears? Or is no longer centralized? This is rather mysterious. And how is it possible I can get lost in thought while driving a car or doing other complex tasks with my eyes open? It just doesn't make sense.
  3. Probably nobody cares since it's such a small part of the world, but this week Wednesday we went to vote for the Dutch parliamentary elections. Results in my opinion are kinda meh, as I was hoping for a much stronger Left-wing victory after 2 years of complete populist mess. These parties are: 26 - PVV - Right-wing populist (anti-immigration party) 26 D66 - Left-wing liberal 22 VVD - Right-wing conservative 20 GL/PVDA - Left-wing (Green + Labor) 18 CDA - Christian conservative 9 FVD - Right-wing populist 4 BBB - Right-wing populist 3 DENK - Left 3 SGP - Right-wing Christian conservative 3 SP - Left-wing (Socialist Party) 3 PVDD - Left-wing (Animal Party) 3 CU - Christian conservative 2 50PLUS - Old people party? 1 VOLT - Left-wing progressive In case you're wondering how these elections work: The Netherlands has 150 seats in the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives). Each political party gets seats in proportion to the votes they receive. Example: If a party gets 10% of all votes, they get about 15 seats (10% of 150). After the election, parties form coalitions (team up) until they have at least 76 seats together, which gives them a majority to govern. Every major party has already ruled out PVV after some were silly enough to try and govern along them. So D66 gets to form their coalition, hopefully over the left wing.
  4. As I was meditating on the couch, my neighbor came to let the cat out her window which she always does. This window looks right into my home and she knows I sit there sometimes. She was bare chested and hang out the window for a very long time, much longer than usual. Then she went back inside. This shows you what is possible if you keep doing this work. I manifested those during meditation. Unfortunately she is not very attractive so I did not pursue further, but it's better than nothing.
  5. My neighbor flashed me.
  6. This is the reason I don't wanna visit Dubai. No character, fake luxury built by modern slavery.
  7. I posted about this before, gambling is everywhere! And it's not a good thing. It's a very low consciousness, bad thing. This is what happens when you're only interested in the money; you turn your loyal audience into gambling addicts. This why integrity matters when you're a public figure.
  8. Today I did this kundalini yoga from YouTube I felt quite nice during and afterwards, and clearly felt the energy moving up the spine. But then I saw this video where Sadghuru says that Kundalini Yoga is not safe because you can go insane, lose ground But Leo talks about insanity as part of this work. Also the Kundalini Yoga videos have thousands of views, not every viewer goes insane. So I'm a bit confused here. I also enjoyed Yin Yoga but it's not the same.
  9. So I've been doing the kundalini yoga from the same video I shared and I like it. I haven't gone insane, but I am careful not to overdo it. When I don't feel like it, I simply skip the practice. Often times I don't go beyond the heart of throat Chakra because those last few are just more intense and not necessary for me to do a lot. I also recommend doing 20 min silence meditation afterward, instead of going directly about your day. I think it has definitely been helpful in increasing my awareness, but I would recommend taking it slow and take some time off when you feel it gets a bit much.
  10. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I will actually be in Thailand next year 🇹🇭
  11. I was wondering what kind of spiritual group activities you guys take part in. I am really a lone wolf but I think it's healthy to do some stage green stuff every now and again. I think this weekend I will go to ecstatic dancing event. I always enjoyed those in the past, though it's mostly just old people. Also used to go to yoga class but not so much lately. Most yoga people don't do yoga for spiritual reasons.
  12. You can say this about literally anything.
  13. That's a tough one. Individualism: this might apply to all Western countries but still. I've lived in Indonesia for a few years and I really missed my privacy and ability to just do whatever the f*ck I want. Architecture: I think many cities have a perfect blend of modern and old Dutch style houses, churches, train stations and other buildings. Egalitarianism: everyone is pretty much equal. There are facilities for drug users, homeless people etc. Those who have a low income can receive government money to pay healthcare or childcare. This is also part of the cultural values, to a degree. Least favorite: Weather: spring and fall are lovely, but winter can get depressing. Not enough AC availability in the summer. Conformism: but that's just because I've been here so long. You wouldn't notice this if you're not Dutch. Prices: are quite high. But it's also very Dutch to complain about the weather and prices.
  14. I loved watching this video so thought I'd share here. Plus she's Irish, what's not to love?
  15. I wouldn't put it that way. Relax, enjoy, take your time.
  16. You are projecting your own desires on this scenario. In perfect unity there is no desire to form any exclusive relationship with one person.
  17. @Emerald that's not how it works though. In practice if you develop yourself more, your interest in 'attracting women' is lower or goes away. There's no reason to commit to any relationship, including sexual.
  18. That's a fantastic and inspiring answer.
  19. Largely true, but a minor contradiction. If you just speak less and do more calm physical guiding you'll be just fine. They will project their ego fantasies on you. But if you speak too much you'll break that. It's still annoying that you can't find a "true" partner but it it what it is. God is in love with every woman, why bother committing to one? Why do you need to have sex? God sees the divine mother in every woman, but you want to be a mother fucker.
  20. It's not that hard to understand. I go out into the street, I do stupid magic tricks for tourists but it makes them laugh. They give me some change. There: I created money out of NOTHING. I wash windows, I charge $20. Maybe I smile, make people feel good about themselves, crack a joke, I charge $40. The soap only costs me $2. I made $38 out of thin air. I feel sad, I spend my last dime on a warm meal. I have no money. It's all relative. It's not real. It's just an energy. It's purely the PERCEPTION of it being abundant, infinite or finite. If you believe that money comes from exchanging your time then you're not aware that this is only one possible interpretation. Some people make millions of dollars with no effort. Money is merely something we MADE UP to represent value. When perceived value is exchanged, money is exchanged. It's not real. Countries can print more of it; billions of it, trillions of it, quantilizallions of it (we can make up new words to represent new quantities of made up money, who cares!). Money = Energy.
  21. Nobody said that. What's the reason you think it's a lovely place? I think it's repulsive and has no culture or warm atmosphere from what I've seen. They also don't respect personal freedoms and have homophobic laws. No thanks.
  22. I put this one on as I went to bed. I was very careful listening to it and I was confident it's not AI. His voice and this audio sounds so authentic, until he started to speak about social media. If AI voice is already this good, you never really know if voice is authentic or not.
  23. Oh yes, definitely more left compared to the U.S..
  24. International Waldo Day!
