I'm saying the hypothesis for why social contagion is a young female thing indicates that being affected by social acceptance could also be a young female thing.

In the video, social contagion in young females was explained by being strongly impacted by social validation from peers. Social acceptance would be social validation from the larger society. I think those would be correlated in some way.

If social contagion supposedly only affects young teenage girls, then why can it not also be the same for acceptance for coming out? Child history of dysphoria assumes that they're willing to come out in the first place. The level of acceptance is still a factor, unless they're so young that they're unable to understand social roles or feel social pressures.

I didn't feel that the numbers mentioned in the video indicated how much is social contagion vs. simply more acceptance around coming out (or some other factors). I think it's both, but we probably need better stats to parse out that distinction.

Hahaha careful with that Law of Attraction, clearly that is going to happen too now

LOL. It's the complete opposite for me.

"That hair"?! Just scroll down, it's still on page 1 if you want to see an absolute HOUSE ??

These guys are generally 6'3-6'7 and 280-450lbs ? I'm 5'11 and 178lbs I have a picture of my back if you go to Someone here's topic on testosterone ? ? ??

Go on podcasts or live television and plug your book.

Yeah and they need to hug you in a circle like you do on MDMA with your buddies (like all people do, right?... Right? ?).

I mean like Sadhguru, Rupert Spira; any enlightened guru. But I thought you were an OG! It's also called "The Grace of the Guru". It's contagious spiritual energy. All energy is contagious, but some people are more contagious than others. I'm not gonna link him here, but search up "Jan Esmann shaktipat".

It's literally just empathy; emotionally attuning to somebody else's state. It just happens to work with subtle states of consciousness as well. Consciousness is not stupid. This is Oneness in action.

I get into this state if I watch any spiritual guru video. It's called transmission.

Reading, lifting and eating ?

@ZenAlex Is Sadhguru psychotic?

I've performed music on stage before, and I guess I would go the acceptance route: accept the fact that you are going to be anxious and that it's not necessarily a bad thing (it sharpens your senses etc.). Acceptance as an attitude is a much more stable strategy than affirming some non-dual belief, because the non-dual belief is just a belief, and it's not certain that this belief will gain conscious traction when you bring it up in the moment (that you will embody it). The most certain thing is that you'll be anxious, and affirming it just for the fact that it's the most certain outcome is beneficial in itself, because anxiety feeds on uncertainty.

This is a common trap when trying to understand old philosophers. One must read past single words or sentences. Language of old is very different from today's language.

A smaller version than a strongman world champion from the 80s. Ok ?

Meditation is meaning, joining a monk temple is meaning, doing just enough to get by is meaning, avoiding drugs is meaning, even doing drugs is meaning. The question is just this: are you maximizing meaning or are you half-assing it? The experience of something being meaningful is not completely random. It's generally tied to something, and it's generally the things that sustain you as an organism; survival. Maximizing meaning is about maximizing that impulse across all domains. You wouldn't do spirituality or self-help if it didn't fundamentally sustain you as an organism. The end goal might be to transcend survival, but that is the opposite of failing survival. You're on the path of sustainable growth, and that has a certain structure to it.

@Michael569 ???

Literally what do you consume in a day?

When I say regulation, I'm not really talking about age limits for purchasing, or that this will have some kind of magical effect on deterring people from underaged drug use. That will happen anyway, prohibition or no prohibition. I'm mainly just talking about how drugs should literally be sold.
