  1. This whole format is based on a need for drama.
  2. Okay. You seem to have strong opinions on this.
  3. Yes if you want to show up in person especially, you need to make sure you look good. You do it for others as much as for yourself.
  4. @Natasha Tori Maru Causation is an aspect of creation. Or the creator. So in a way we create our own lives. But this doesn't mean that others don't have a role. But this gets into the self vs. other duality.
  5. We're not always in the mood to love everyone. But in hindsight, we can see how we played a part in that.
  6. I wouldn't take it to this extreme.
  7. Sometimes is also a good retort. Sometimes. People do not appreciate this enough. Sometimes this, yes, sometimes that, no.
  8. You can work on your look. But it is a balance though. You have to be conscious of what you are doing. We are all concerned with our look.
  9. The heart of politics is you need more than one to agree on something. That is the social contract.
  10. @UnbornTao It is a short book. He is not a philosopher, more like a scientist touching the shallow end of the pool of philosophy. When I was an engineering student in university, this book was part of my transition to philosophy. It is a brief book, almost 100 pages.
  11. What is weird is when people think they are improving their look but it actually makes them look worse.
  12. No one will have the motivation or drive to create what you want to create, so I wouldn't worry too much about someone stealing your business ideas.
  13. I like how Leo is just laying out of this whole hornet's nest.
  14. I would say yes and no. The duality between religion and spirituality should also be examined. It is not so clear cut.
  15. I read Feynman's "The Meaning Of It All" in college and it was one of the experiences that led me into Philosophy.
  16. It put me at stage orange? Wow. I do feel like many people should re-integrate orange and I guess I emphasize that sometimes.
