Hello from Russia

He is getting involved directly in a sense on this forum. He is participating and answers questions here a lot. Nice analysis, though

I invision it as a mix of "Spiritual", by which I mean deeply contemplating and inquiring into the nature of art and surrounding topics and what they mean metaphysically and "Life-purpose" in which there'll be practical topics on how to be creative and resourceful as an artist (producing more and better, more profound artworks and probably some practical real life problems surrounding that aswell). And maybe also a small fraction of that would be a "Theraputic" kind of art where we'll be disccussing "art-therapy" and different flow-states you can go into while doing artsy stuff. Sort of art-meditation. For me, though, the most important is Art philosophy (inquiry) and Life purpose kind of art

I'd actively participate in it. I found contemplating art, design and creativity can lead to very profound practical insights and breakthroughs, so I'm all in for that! @Leo Gura , need your attention, man

How old is she? If that is indeed that much serious for her, I would respect her and move on, the most noble thing you can do. I wouldn't try to convince her to "surpress" her desires nor would I suggest compromising your values and goals in life too. What do you want? If you want kids soon aswell, you can try to negotiate with her and make it in 5 years or so but only if you want it and only if you want to be with her for a very long time

Yeah, that realization had a big impact on me too. Explains so much of human's ignorancec

I think you HAVE to be a populist in order to have a chance in that race. Doesn't make the racer worse tho

Wtf you're talking about man. This career is okay even if you're 50 years old, I know DJ's like that. How age is limiting you in this industry?

Just start doing meditation and visualization exercises and you'll grow your real size (not physical one) very fast. Physical size is almost useless to have a good sex although it appears as it matters

My biggest disappointment with meditation was that this field is big as fuck. There is all kind of meditation disciplines and there is so much stuff to master (Concentration, observation, feeling your body, breathwork, visualization, contemplative inquiry, witchcraft, meditative sex, etc) it's just overwhelming. Once you get into this swamp you can't just focus on your breath anymore, like you used to do when you were young

@MuddyBoots Yeah, I agree, there is all kind of information flowing around in society, a lot of it is probably wrong and far-fetched. Even those people who are closely related to these problems I believe can be highly dogmatic and believe what their professor or textbook says for granted. And then they try to make the hype out of this information. It's very hard to know who to believe in those kind of things and this situation being very far away from our "casual" problems that we face every day (Such as issues with health, money, carreer, etc) doesn't really motivate us to do anything about it

The problem is, it doesn't get enough exposure in the media. You know a lot about this stuff because you've studied it a lot and invested shit ton of time focused on that particular subject (or set of subjects). From my point of view, I don't care almost at all about these problems because they don't exist in my perception, I believe the same happens for 99% of people, they just don't know

Can confirm, good shit, indeed. I've read about 30-40% of his booklist already, planning to go for 100% in the next 2-3 years

There is one good book about this topic called "Integral relationships" or something among these lines. The author took various models, most known here are spiral dynamics and Ken WIlber's integral theory and laid out a pretty good advice for so called "integral aware" relationship seeker

How do you take fun and chillout ? Do you play video games ?

You're drowning in symbols and believe in them too much as though they are real, guys. That is what Leo is basically saying to you. 1+1=2 is true in the context of mathematics and our language but if we strip away the cultural meaning of symbols and the math theory behind them it doesn't have any meaning whatsoever, but you treat them in way although they do. That's a false assumption you're getting pointed into

Hell, you can even become a Meditation and Yoga teacher and charge $ for it. I imagine it is very easy to setup in the current 21st society, especially if you live in the west. You can just rent a space in the gym and do marketing inside of the gym and on social media

Whatever you like. You can make money off of pretty much anything if you're very good at that thing and learn some biz and marketing skills. You can make money off of bodybuilding coaching, diet coaching, graphic design, playing music, electronics, voice overing, copywriting (this is huge), online marketing, social media management, video editing, making illustrations, making AI algorithms, selling (being good at deals), project management. There is tons of stuff, don't limit yourself to just programming because it's a trendy path right now. Following masses leads to mediocrity by definition

I'd set a high priority into deliberately developing mastering and expertise in some domain that you like, so later you can avoid wage slavery and instead focus on your growing and enjoying life.

Interesting observation

Why do you think Hitler is evil? Contemplate your reasoning

Just buy a good laptop instead with the same price. Way less tempting to game, but at the same time, you get good ergonomics and good mobility if you buy a good machine

Yes, gonna divorse my wife and order one. Wouldn't marry if I knew those exist

I'm sorry, where did he say that Russia is stage red?
