  1. @Leo Gura You gotta straighten yourself out, man. People look up to you and copy your behavior.
  2. I remember watching this in primary school in class. Everybody was like "he is crazy", while I was like "if it's like he says and it's the only thing that truly fulfills him, then why not?" ☺️
  3. Ok, then it was a moment of clairvoyance. Some people have that from time to time.
  4. So you saw a guy from 200 ft away, you saw the guy again and you weren't sure but you guessed it was him and you were correct. That's called using your intuition
  5. Plants and smaller animals aren't thought to have a big capacity to suffer unlike a pig or a cow who have big brains and complex emotions. A pig has the intelligence of a 3 year old child and experiences a similar range of sensations and emotions. You have to eat something, so you would try to eat that which minimizes the amount of suffering, which is why you choose to eat less complex forms of life if that is your concern.
  6. Eggs contain things that are required for producing and maintaining testosterone levels. It's not like they're a magic pill.
  7. I compulsively look up the definitions of words all the time. It's just a thing I do.
  8. Sounds a bit autistic to me
  9. Whether paradoxes can or cannot exist, if you're using logic to justify either case, you're limiting reality to logic, which means your answer might not be true.
  10. What makes you think that? What happens when you talk to a girl?
  11. If you don't bother to look up the words, you're not very autistic. Add 5 points ?
  12. This is the most insane Meshuggah song I've ever heard. It's quite literally insane.
  13. The world won't suddenly go vegan. It would be a slow and gradual transition. A similar example would be when we went from using horses to cars. The population of horses was decimated, but not over night. Of course, this was a particularly big technological revolution, and the transition was rather fast, so it lead to an increase of horses being sent to slaughterhouses, but many were simply sold and repurposed and died due to more natural causes. Regardless, fewer horses were bred as the horse industry downscaled, and that would happen with the meat industry as well.
  14. If I'm a genius and I'm thinking thoughts that nobody else is thinking, am I delusional? That is essentially what a classic hallucination is: seeing something that nobody else is seeing. As long as you're not mistaken about the nature of the thing, e.g. you're the only one who can see it and you're aware of this, it's not delusional. As for it being "real" or not, in this case, it's not real to other people, but so are many things. Of course, most people define "real" in a naive way, i.e. what most people in their tribe think is real ("consensus reality"), which at least for modern people tends to have materialistic connotations and tends to exclude hallucinations. So they will of course disagree that entities are real, unless many people start seeing them.
  15. A guy called Timothy Leary. Not the sole reason, but he exemplified the first wave of naive and idealistic Green, which was not strategic, not systems-aware enough to foresee the pushback from the mainstream.
  16. Oof close. Same. Being a bit sensitive can definitely make you a bit of an introvert.
  17. So TikTok isn't exactly bringing anything new to the table, just bringing it to more people.
  18. That is a bit different than understanding that reality is complex and that you can't model everything. Now you're questioning the very act of modelling itself, which is a dark road to go down. The truth is that some models are extremely effective at making predictions, and that doubting their reliability without a specific reason is completely irrational. Sure, if you one time actually experience the floor collapsing beneath you, then that will certainly throw you for a loop, but at least wait until something like that happens, or else you're opening Pandora's paranoia box.
  19. Nobody below 22 yet? Cmon, I know there are autistic people on here
