To think you need to suffer a lot in spirituality to me seems like a red flag.

It depends on what we mean by this. I find women do like guys who I find to be a bit nerdy.

@Schizophonia Those are often caricatures of conservatives in media though. I've met conservatives who are some of the most responsible, decent people.

I find that I suffer less as I get older as a general trend.

Interesting. I tend to have peak energy at night.

It is weird to me when people say Donald Trump is a conservative. There is some category error going on here.

I'm not sure bro.

That is a great scene. I love that movie.

I like stage green and I live in a stage green city. But oftentimes, stage green is a narrative that is learned through education, especially college and university. The abstract, universal academic ethic is often more intellectually ambitious and more abstract -- than a more action-oriented stage blue person would ever espouse to be beholden to.

But if there were never a swordsman, you would never draw a gun.

I would say yes and no man.

People who can't identify nerds might be nerds, not to be mean haha.

I want to be careful with how I inquire with you. I want to be diplomatic. One thing I find odd is your obsession with body. That is unusual to me, so can you help me understand this concern?

Yes. You wouldn't be free otherwise. I see you are integrating more freedom. But you are doing it in a backhanded way still IMO.

Aesthetics is central to all of experience at a very high level, not just with respect to the past.

Alien consciousness just means me right?

"Fight for truth" is not always completely understood. We just assume there's the truth. We don't appreciate "power" in relationship (or relation) to what truth passes (gets big) and what stays silent (stays small), and how that matters and so on. Contemplate this one.

I wouldn't typecast conservatives with such an extreme counterexample, but I see where you are going.

I call this the "wonk factor" when I interact with people more and more.

We all suffer. Suffering a breakup is one of the worst forms of suffering. Especially if you love the person deeply.

But localized empathy is still empathy. Like calling a family member to check up on them.
