@My_Name_Is_Mud Ignorant comment nonetheless. First of all the only reason meat is a product is because the majority is unconscious and they eat meat because it's tasty and that's what they have been indoctrinated to. In order to produce all those veggies some animals have to die so that justifies to kill billions of cows and pigs aswell? NO, it just a logical fallacy that justifies your unethical behaviour. @Evilwave Heddy The egg and milk industry is almost as violent -if not more- as the meat industry and why would someone want to eat something really unhealthy? It really bugs me why people dont get it, maybe it is just ignorance but if you put the effort to educate yourself and you are not a spoiled brat that can't give up his artery clogging and carcinogenic foods you are going to be the healthiest you ever been.

Not to feed your egos but it is self-explanatory that there are no counter arguments against veganism especially if you are a part of this forum which at least shows that you are not the average Joe. Love this guy, we need more people to get educated on the matter and eventually follow along. @egoeimai Did you stop? if yes why?

@eskwire I aim to get the life purpose course for sure but i am resisting the idea of finding a job since i don't really think it is going to be a valuable expense of my time and i am also really comfy at the moment. @Leo Gura I don't believe some structural advice is going to pave the off-road. It is not that black and white and there is some room for guidance for sure. Maybe a book recommendation or some subjects i should put my focus upon or even some generic technical advice. Anyway i can think of too many ways to tweak my education but If i knew the "correct" answer i wouldn't be asking the question in the first place. Also are you going to add more books on the Paranormal/Metaphysics & Epistemology categories?

Where did you see me say that? This is the definition of red herring/strawman logical fallacy, what do you try to accomplish with that statement? I never implied anything that suggested any killings. I was just critizing their ideology. Not a holy pope but a holy book (Quran) in this case which in fact promotes violence and bigoted beliefs. Their holy book advocates killing infidels and gay people. It is not my opinion it is a fact. Quran promotes violence and hatred. Why do people who criticize islam get murdered then? What are you trying to do here? be tolerant of intolerance?

The idea is good but generally people are misinformed on the subject if i have to judge by the discussions on nutrition section. So to get facts straight the best diet for your health and well being is a plant based diet which is the diet you are designed to consume, yes humans are herbivores. Now that we got that out of the way this is my favorite breakfast so far: oatmeal non-dairy milk walnauts almonds hazelnuts raisins goji berries bananas strawberries Just eyeball the portions and mix them all in a bowl. This is extremely filling but If you still feel hungry in the morning after eating this just finish it off with Leo's shake and you are good to go.

First of all to clarify I am against any kind of racism. @zazed Islamophobia killed my brother? You have probably been emotionally manipulated so i am going to rant on this one. Islam has nothing to do with racism. Islam is an ideology and SHOULD be criticized like every other ideology. You feel sympathy for muslims but the truth is that a religon that commands its followers to kill infidels shouldn't be welcome with open arms. Islamophobia is a made up word that is commonly used by emotional manipulators and leftists to support the radical beliefs of islam, terrorism and push their political agenda. If you criticize a religon that supports murder of gays and infidels makes you racist? Are ideologies races from now on? Maybe christians should call out christianophobia when someone criticizes their religion. This is straight up manipulation for gullible people that can't think for themselves. Hope you can see the pattern here and undarstand that islam is NOT a religion of peace. If you are still skeptical about this check what happened in Sweden or should i say the rape capital of Europe where Muslims are allowed without any background check and violent crimes increased by 300% and rapes by 1472%. tldr: Criticism of Islam and its followers is not racism but a must for everyone that supports peace.

Socrates replied to The Monk's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I am almost on the same place as @The Monk. Although i think i am on a different paradigm right now. I used to have this high judgemental, what-are-these-people-doing kind of thinking but it is pointless. If you tell them face to face about whatever issue you see, it just flies above them or worse they get offended. So now I just accept whatever it is and just make it fun. One way to overcome the concsiousness gap and connect with these people is humor in my opinion. This sounds really interesting, can we shine some light on this topic? -

@Leo Gura Lets say you dont have any issue interacting with everyday people. How should you relate to ordinary people then? I just want to know what attitude do you have when you meet new people. The issue i personally face is that even if i have the mood to meet new people i excuse myself because there is not a stractured step by step way to do that. I recently have dropped out of uni and I dont seem to have any interest in football,nba,video games, drugs(recreational) etc. How do you connect with ordinary people like that then? is it even worth it? and how do you distinguish devoloped vs non devoloped people? -
College is good for proffesionals that are going to need the degree like: Doctors Engineers Lawyers et cetera Your post shows that you have entrepreneurial tendecies and college is not the best choise for entrepreneurs unless you are lazy or have the habbit of not finishing things. If so far so good check if you have any of the following characteristics that identify that you don't need college: Strong work ethic Obsessive personality Fully undecided Great in sales A bit rebellious Competitive and self-disciplined Good at making friends Have a mentor Disclaimer, this is just some juice from a book about college i recently read which was written by a successful entrepreneur.
