@Leo Gura Is it even possible to do science for the sake of getting truth? All science is done using language and language is in the way of getting to truth so science can only go so far right?

Are you sure she's just arrested ? You can consider her dead already

The male domination that has existed for thousands of years has been there for good reason. Because of gender specialization which contributes to survival one gender had to be stronger physically to ensure the safety of the family and because of the harsh realities of survival in the past women had to totally rely on men so obviously women no longer had a say in anything and men became the dominent gender because their difference to women at the time was more favorable by nature but now since we don't live in that harsh of a world anymore it no longer matters as much that men are stronger so their trait is not more favorable to the degree it was in the past so now it's about favourable traits that lead to more money which is what gives men domination at this point and men are more success oriented than women so again men dominate but as we go on and societies go from stage orange to green and yellow then at that point women's trait might become more favourable and be the dominating gender which is hard to imagine a world like that so I'm not sure . The point I was trying to make was that the differences between men and women make neither of them inherently good or bad or more dominent and you can't compare those objectively and they get meaning and become good or bad or more favourable only when nature and society pick one over the other. So the domination of men will not go away until a very radical change in humans happen collectively that leads to different values that favors women's traits more.(no time soon)

@ZX_man In fact I think women have it easier to achieve enlightenment because women generally have an attitude of surrendering to what is rather that fighting against it like most men do .

It made me cry towards the end

@SFRL I'm just starting to see how messed up men's idea about women is .

@Nahm That should do the trick just what I needed.

I was looking at a picture of myself when I was only couple of years old and I wanted to hug her so much but she was no longer there she was truly gone because that body is certainly not there and her personality and her mind are no longer there, either. I don't even have her memories anymore and memories are what the self is revolved around. So basically she's dead and this dying process doesn't only apply tho childhood years but we are constantly evolving and in that process we are constantly dying and being reborn because our bodies, our minds, our memories and even our DNA is changing all the time, the things we thought were the most static in our lives. That realization made it easier for me to see the highly shaky grounds of the self.

What do you think about Artificial Intelligence ? Do you think they will ever develop to the level of human consciousness ? I personally fear them. I think it'll be a real scary world in just two or three decades

@cetus56 Nice

@Dodo Yeah exactly that's what I meant, too that the sense of self is continuously changing but perhaps not the authentic self which can't really be defined and pointed to.

Please keep it removed it's way better this way.

I'm ray 5 but not the purest form of it.

So Leo is his last episode keeps saying your mind has more control over you and as I was thinking about it I got really confused like okay we tend to think of ourselves as separate from others but when it comes to the mind we also perceive it as separate when it should be the only thing that we shouldn't perceive it as such so for example when we're doing sth out of habit and the mind's hands are forcing us to do it it feels like we and the mind are separate things so what is the mind and what is the 'I' ? is it like the mind being constantly at war with itself? it doesn't make any sense as to why it should be that way! In other words who is the mind controlling? Itself but how ? it seems like a strange loop cause for a controlling to happen there has to be two things.

You actually said it in the end . when I wrote that I was still watching the first 20 mins.

@DocHoliday with my experience of time passing differently I think if you think of it as a spectrum it's like at either ends of the spectrum which is either too muck information procces or too little time seems to just stop but in the middle with just the perfect amount of information process time goes by very fast like in the flow state. And aside from the mind there is also a biological factor at play. If your heart beats faster time goes slower and an example of it would be kids; kids experience way longer days than adults and I hear it a lot that old people always say as soon as I hit 40 I don't even remember how time passed. It's like until 30 it's one half and then from 30 to the day you die is like the other half in how you experience it.

Another interesting fact : it costs one million Tomans in my country which is not that hard to make but still a lot.

What I've realized from reading all this is that the number one reason for people to start personal development is being bad with dating and social situations. That's interesting. All ego driven and survival driven motivation that leads to a radically different place.

@sgn I tried many different things to see which I like and enjoy doing the most and I learned one thing that whatever idea you like on paper when you start to actually do it it's much more ugly and painful in practice because almost any job that looks good on the outside will require hard work that's not pleasant and certainly not what you imagined before. Don't be afraid of the hard and unpleasent work and the path to get there you just have to like the outcome . with time you'll come to enjoy the process as well.

Yeah this has happend to me before a couple of times. once I was working on a geometry problem but I couldn't solve it and since it was late I went to bed then in the middle of the night I woke up because (now it gets funny here) I was trying to create the shape of the triangle with my body by moving my feet a lot and then solving the problem. There were other times when right after studying math I went to bed and had dreams of numbers and stuff. And when I meditate right before bed I have some of the most creative dreams ever so I guess if you combine it with some math beforehand that can happen Your mind brings up stuff in your sleep that you've been working on in your day and meditation just clears it out even more and might wake you up in sleep.

Yeah remove all of it even if it is for some time to see how it plays out.

This is part of a Persian poem and I love it so much so here's the translation of it which reduces its beauty to 1% : The one who is truly enlightened is the one that cannot talk and cannot be found. Until you are not free of your body and your mind you will not know of the one you love.

@shahryar You know why it's that bad in our country because governments ruling is bad enough but now imagine a religion ruling the government.It makes it the worst because religions assume that they already know the ultimate truth and even if their truth doesn't seem to work they don't care they wouldn't change how they think because they have faith that it should work. Just makes the idea of reform even worse.

@shahryar It'll change sooner than you think. When Khamenei dies Iran won't be the same besides the changes bitcoin will bring really gave me hope. Which city do you live in? I live in shiraz .

I just want to know some of your life experiences and if you have put your life together right now I'd like to ask you some questions : So what are you happy for having done when you were a teenager ? What do you wish you had done sooner ? and what habits would you have put in place when you were younger? What would your advice be to your younger self? and Leo is your advice to teenagers and students the same as before ?
