  1. Do you believe that Allah can end the conflict right now and bring lasting peace to the middle east? Absolute Control: Nothing happens in the universe except by His will. If He decrees a matter to end "today," it simply happens. The Best of Planners: Muslims believe Allah has a plan that surpasses human understanding, even when facing tyranny or war. What is likely meant is that YOU as God can end all conflict right now. "Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves". Again the above verse assumes you are God! You have to change your view to see the world as God. But don't you think this seems judgemental to innocent people in the middle east? Or are they punished for being lower development stages? Like they have more internal conflict than westerners so they get more outer conflict?
  2. Past two months I've been in Portugal and I see a LOT of old school dating here. Many teenagers but any age range really, just couples on dates. Would you enjoy this? I think this is what the conservative model is about. No hyper individualism or hyper sexuality, but proper dating. That means committing and falling in love, possibly at a young age, and being serious about that. No cheating, no exploring, no messing around. Focus on being in love, not sex. I've seen so many same-age couples here that were head over heels for each other. The downside is of course you are falling deeper into the illusions of the world. It ties into traditional family and cultural values and totally ignores personal development or spiritual deepening. In my opinion the Western model is superior: fuck around, nothing is too serious and a heavy focus on personal success and development. I mean, isn't it better to work on yourself and then EARN that amazing woman? You wanna just be given a cute girl at 18 and that's it?
  3. @Leo Gura that's kinda been my experience with Muslim girls, total freaks.
  4. @Apparition of Jack you are totally right except of course It's not like people voted for this. Especially this war I think pretty much everyone is against except for Israel.
  5. I know the airline delays aren't the biggest concern but damn, it's pretty massive: As of march 1, 2026, hundreds of thousands of travellers have been affected by widespread airspace closures and flight cancellations across the Middle East following military strikes involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran. The scale of the disruption includes: Passenger Impact: At least 90,000 transit passengers per day are typically handled by the three major affected airlines—Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad Airways—all of which have faced massive operational suspensions. Flight Cancellations: More than 3,400 flights were cancelled across seven major regional hubs on Sunday, March 1, including Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH), and Doha (DOH). This follows over 1,800 cancellations recorded the previous day. Global Delays: Approximately 19,000 flights have been delayed worldwide as a ripple effect of the regional standstill.
  6. As a dumb Westerner I am really surprised at Iran's power. I always thought modern hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi were modern and safe, now I see them burn Same for Israel of course. Appearantly that iron dome only protects against short range missiles.
  7. Ha, if only things were this simple. The real world is messier than this. Russia can barely grab a football field of terrain in a country they thought they could invade in a day takes them 2 years. They're destroying their own economy with this dumb war. China is equally messy and is having a hard time keeping up their economic growth (hint: they won't), not to mention aging population. These giants you imagine aren't real.
  8. Yeah but humans have spiritual development. If the whole world was at Tier 2 war would be extremely unlikely. But yes true that everything is created by God, right in this moment. The only problem is that God realization must be unrealistic in a war zone. To develop spiritually requires stability. Agree?
  9. A conscious discussion about AI, mostly around coding and whether or not it replaces programmers and jobs. Later in the video touches on philosophy and epistemology.
  10. It might be more useful with rigid / rules based stuff. For example: I followed this course in cold outreach and I imported all the videos into NotebookLM. This way I can go there and always ask "is this cold email good?" and it will correct me. But I've used it with spiritual teachers as well. Just make sure you use NotebookLM because it tends to stick to the supplied material.
  11. What has been your experience dating ladyboys? I am talking to one now who I met online. She's nice and all but I can't help but feel that it's a dude, especially after we had a video call. My only other experience was with this girl I met on tinder and it was amazing. She was extremely good looking, like you couldn't tell her from a woman. I will be visiting Thailand, possibly later this year.
  12. Whats deeper than everyday life?
  13. Leo: "Ladyboys are totally gay dude" Also Leo: https://actualized.org/insights/women-will-never-satisfy-men
  14. What are high standards but ego? Unwilling to give up the self in unification of the two. Surely stage blue has more collective ego, but this pickiness? Also ego.
  15. Can you describe in your own language what is the problem in the dating market? I'm curious.
  16. Now it comes in waves. One moment it behaves normally then the next it is incredibly slow or I get that insufficient storage error.
  17. Not to be a dick here but how do you know she actually did that and didn't not do it on purpose? Did having the kid with you grand her a visa?
  18. So far I've done this video and have done this exercise without the video. It works well. But I wonder if there are other techniques to open the heart more? What I've done is just put my attention in the heart and imagine light coming from the heart. I've also combined it with pleasant memories and gratitude. How do I open it more?
  19. What is the thing for Tinder that gives you the highest leverage in 2026 as a male? My results have always been abysmal and I don't know why. I once asked a cute girl and showed her my Tinder profile and she got upset saying I look really handsome IRL, implying that my pics were bad or misleading. I've always been bad at this stuff, but at the same time don't care enough to make better pictures.
  20. Why does it have to be Thailand? But yeah my first intuition also said Asia. Saw a documentary once about kids in the Philippines growing up with a single mom and no dad cause the guy just went back to Europe and didn't take responsibility. So op is doing a much better job.
  21. He already said South Africa I believe. My question (only if you want to answer of course): is the tension in your relationship caused by cultural differences you think?
  22. The website is soooo slow these days this doesn't even load for me 🤦
  23. I have several more questions. First of all, where did the cosmic horror post go? Because there you said something like humans being less important than certain bacteria, but earlier you made humans feel special by saying we are more conscious than animals, aka closer to God. I forgot my other questions now.
  24. Dead 😂. See this is why we have the forum, Leo would never post this.
  25. Congratulations. How has your life changed? How do you do the travel? Did your kid get your Swiss passport or where are you raising your kid?
