Butters

Awesome @Lyubov, I am doing the same and currently in Portugal and Bangkok in a few weeks. My plan is to stay there for at least two months and see how I like it. I plan to have a base in SEA somewhere, probably Bali. Met guys here who have been traveling as digital nomad for 4+ years. So cool.

But Leo, isn't one of those big death bed regrets not taking enough chances in life? So in that sense isn't the extreme extrovert doing a better job?

Yes, down dogma, up dogma.

What if you accidentally cut someone off in traffic? What about all the 'harm' that comes from being underslepped for example? Like being rude etc.

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.

Why would you have to probe whether or not it's a good hobby here? If you enjoy it then go for it.

The other day I posted a thread cause I heard about this article: Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? in UK Vogue. Because THIS IS HOW WOMEN THINK OF THEIR BOYFRIENDS NOW! Have they not told you this? But it's not their fault, it's the GUYS FAULT! Today I was at the university library sitting across this girl, normal day. Her 'boyfriend' shows and doesn't know how to act and start obsessively PDA'ing her and she's really not that interested. He continues, to the point where she LEAVES THE FUCKING ROOM! Then I just peek over at the guy cause I'm like 'wtf is this' and this wimp is shaking cause he's probably having some anxiety attack or whatever. THIS IS WHAT WOMEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE DAYS! And I got this confused with feminists being assholes in my previous thread. No. It's the MEN's FAULT. Fix yourselves. Become someone a woman will be proud of dating.

What dosages and timing?

This year I realized how stupid these holidays are. Why do I need to be in a celebratory mood because the calendar moves to different digits? Makes no sense. These holidays are for people who have no goals, who don't get fulfillment from achieving milestones in their career or personal life. So they need these artificial milestones, to feel like something has been accomplished and celebrated. Stupid.

Dramatic title but I am going to reduce my usage of ChatGPT and cancel my Plus subscription. Why? Because its pre-programmed communication style is FUCKING AWFUL! using the phrase "no fluff" and “shouting into the void” constant “curious what others think” sign offs that never actually respond to anyone contrast framing everywhere, it is not x, it is y, repeated over and over fragmented, pseudo profound sentences. short. isolated. trying to feel reflective over explicit signposting, things like “here is the key takeaway” or “the important part is this” "you're not imagining it" Here's the original Reddit thread btw if you wanna have a laugh: http://reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1pmu4fc/the_em_dash_giveaway_is_gone_these_are_the_new/ Look, here's a conversation I was having about an order in my business being delayed and refunded. Look at this: Why would you say "without making it worse"? Why is this thing even suggesting making it worse? WHAT!? I never fucking said later today! Why is it programmed to talk like this? Do you know how many custom instructions I've given it already? These just get COMPLETELY IGNORED! What a useless piece of junk. Also hallucinations seem to be getting worse. It just talks with confidence until I ask it to actually look that up online and then it does a full 180. This might be because it's programmed to weigh the user's conversation style preferences heavier than factuality . Something I've not seen in Google Gemini. Now that's me talking about ChatGPT as a chatbot / companion. Of course the GPT models are great and I'll continue using the API for coding and other tasks. But seriously, they programmed the chatbot to talk to absolute morons and I'm unable to overwrite its default behavior.

Although they exist, they're outliers. It takes time to get to a level of self knowledge, self awareness and general and specific knowledge to build and grow a successful business. From Claude: **Most common age range: 40-50 years old** The most comprehensive data comes from a 2018 study analyzing U.S. Census Bureau data on founders of high-growth companies. They found: - The average age of a founder whose startup had substantial growth was **45 years old** - For the top 0.1% of fastest-growing startups, the average founder age was **45** - A 50-year-old entrepreneur is almost twice as likely to start a highly successful company as a 30-year-old For "regular" successful businesses (not high-growth startups but solid, profitable companies): - Most first-time business owners are in their **early-to-mid 40s** - The 45-54 age group shows the highest rate of entrepreneurial activity - By mid-40s, people typically have 15-20 years of industry experience, deeper professional networks, and some capital saved **Why older founders succeed more often:** They have accumulated industry expertise, developed better judgment about market opportunities, built professional networks, gained managerial experience, and often have some savings or access to capital. The "20-something founder in a garage" story is real but represents a tiny fraction of successful businesses. Most people who build sustainable, profitable companies do so after spending years learning their industry first.

Do you believe that spiritual experiences are something most people benefit from? Can most people who desire to expand their consciousness? In another thread someone said something like "some people go to 10 ayahuasca retreats and nothing changes" and that is true. Some people go to 6 Tony Robbins events per year. Can we then conclude that some people simply cannot expand their consciousness in this lifetime? And does that then make a kundalini retreat or a yoga retreat or a psychedelic retreat completely useless to them? Surely it's still time better spent than being on TikTok.

How do you know if haven't fully integrated Green yet?

I don't get this. I had a much more concrete question at first, but I thought the general question is a much better one. But specifically, for example: I don't really care about nature or feeling bad about climate change. Does that mean I haven't fully integrated Green yet?

Can you share your experiences? But yeah the idea of combining LSD with molly for example does sound heavy.

All the best for you

Guy lives in Vietnam on very little money to focus on music and YouTube full time You can make $1000 pm online and live like a king in Asia, Africa, South America.

I doubt it. The spirit of Christmas is not to do a silent retreat, it's so socialize and with family, often in combination with alcohol to make the thing bearable 😝

No

I think it's because of the position of the earth in relation to the sun mate 😝

WWE is far more dangerous if you look at all the injuries and lasting damage. These guys put their bodies on the line 200 nights a year while UFC guys fight like twice a year.

Brock Lesnar is a beast. Early Lesnar was roided up like a mf but man, look at that physique. Then he went to UFC and won the championship, which is totally unheard of. This man is a true freak of nature and one of my favorite WWE superstars. Also Leo would be happy to learn Lesnar is very nonconformist 😂

What about Hitler?

After seeing that Altman video I decided; might as well boycot them lol.

Good for you man. I've only ever done MDMA at techno clubs and then end up watching porn for 6 hours on the comedown while smoking weed. Comedowns were pure torture.
