  2. I like how Leo is just laying out of this whole hornet's nest.

  3. Religion was the original self-help

    I would say yes and no. The duality between religion and spirituality should also be examined. It is not so clear cut.
  4. I read Feynman's "The Meaning Of It All" in college and it was one of the experiences that led me into Philosophy.
  5. It put me at stage orange? Wow. I do feel like many people should re-integrate orange and I guess I emphasize that sometimes.
  6. Yes. Because you hold a duality between awareness and mind.
  7. I think his opinion is somewhat overstated. From my taste over many genres I can identify the excellent albums. He is a little too cynical sometimes.

  8. This looks like a delicious salad I might make.

  16. I think we should be careful of diagnosing people of NPD. None of us are authorized to do that. It is easy to do though, but it is a clinical diagnosis.
  17. The hyper-rationalist approach only works when that rule-set is enforced.
  18. Good point.
  19. Okay. Great.
  20. Okay. I'm not going to disagree with you.
  22. You need to meet people at least in Zoom. That is a minimum.
  23. @prophet Can you elaborate more?
  24. That is my view. People like to say the infinite doesn't know the finite. I say the infinite and finite are joined. The finite allows you to know the finite. But that is not all you are. It is a both, and not an either or. This is just my perspective.
  25. I have a more nuanced perspective. It's like a yes and no on the "I". Part of the I is illusory, but part of it is more true than most people think.
