Carl-Richard

Heaviest classical piece performed on electric guitar.

Mmm, Fi and Te

What about the meta-worldview of holism? You need to integrate all sides and become whole

"He is playing a character, guys" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Getting nazi vibes (not because you're German ?). If you can write in English, you're Western enough to stay here It's good that you're progressing on integrating your inner Satan, but you need to keep it under control sometimes

Leo is a Westerner, his content is Western, his forum sections are Western, etc.

This forum is practically Western. If you're on here, you're immersed in Western thinking. Also, because we're a Western forum, we don't exclude people from discussions based on their background

Nah. I didn't live 10 000 years ago, but I sometimes like to discuss how life was like back then. Nobody is gate-keeping me about that.

I'm a Norwegian talking about US politics and nobody is harassing me about it.

I know this isn't that relevant from a global perspective, but there is this small but prominent political party in Norway called Rødt ("Red") who have been strongly anti-NATO since their conception, and their bigger brother Sosialistisk Venstre ("Socialist Left") have been back and forth on the issue for half a century and is now reconsidering their pro-NATO stance since the Ukraine war. EDIT: Oops, they're in fact anti-NATO today. They were reconsidering whether Ukraine should be given NATO membership or not (they used to be against it).

I submit that enjoying life and understanding life are synergistic. If you're carrying a heavy backpack, and it hurts and all you can think about is wanting to put it down, you don't have much time for proper understanding, and even if you think you do, your understanding is filtered through the constant aching. And your understanding can help you to put the backpack down.

Technology needs wisdom to not be corrupted. When were given self-awareness and conceptual thinking, we unlocked the power of technology, but it happened too soon, because we lacked the wisdom to use it well. That is why the story of the Garden of Eden was a fall.

You don't have to try to read my mind if you're bad at it.

My parents named me Carl-Richard (by combining the first names of my two grandfathers), which is such an odd name. It has definitely had many weird psychological effects on me.

You can't balance personal responsibility and compassionate care?

Who is talking about looking forward? lol "plz gimme insight"

Adults know how to properly balance the two.

Why should insights be lost?

How so?

What if the porn is fully AI generated?

The one true superfood

Burnout is when your performance drops significantly, and it's more visceral and actually physical than the feelings associated with a lack of discipline. It's like you lack basic life energy, and it affects everything else you do. On the other hand, the feelings that arise due to a lack of discipline are usually more psychological: emotional turmoil, indecision, feelings of inadequacy, shame and anxiety. You don't have the same problems with energy, only that you're aiming it in the wrong direction, and your mind will tell you about it.

The organism and the mind comes before everything else. How does the mind learn about math, physics, chemistry, programming? What are the traps of learning, of thinking you deeply understand a subject when you really don't? Which types of assumptions underlie each subject which most people take for granted and which skew their perception of these subjects and reality in general? Why are these subjects generally considered as more fundamental than other subjects? What are the historical reasons, cultural, psychological or biological reasons for how humans approach these subjects?

Disruptive practices that break habitual frames and also increase general resilience are perfect tools for spiritual practice. As for torture, if it's either intense and/or long-lasting, it could be considered a disruptive practice, which could lead to a shift in perspective that could facilitate an awakening experience. However, if it otherwise leads to permanent physical or psychological damage, it's of course not recommended.
