@Aspiraling Wizard Then that begs the question: where did you get your stats from?

@Mosess Regardless, you should know that when it really comes down to it, at the end of the day, you're really on your own. There is nobody that can really help you find out who you are except yourself, nobody you can look to for advice other than yourself, nobody you can trust other than yourself. To know yourself, you must trust yourself and only you.

Actions speak louder than words.

My bad lol

All you need to know is that his idea of preparing for a debate about communism was to read the communist manifesto, a revolutionary propaganda piece written for peasants in the 1850s. His fear of socialism and the left is overblown. Social democrats won't take your freedoms away.

Relative/absolute fallacy: conflating the relative domain with the absolute domain.

Any examples?

I'm not trying to sound like an absolutist here, but don't you think there are more decent ways of handling that situation other than ritualistic torture? I was just pointing out how he, like many other people in that community, inhabit more red qualities than most people (nothing more, nothing less). Breaking the law in itself is most often red, but glorified violence is probably THE hallmark of red.

There is a nuance there that we can point out. Integrating blue/red in a healthy way isn't necessarily the same as reacting to and closing yourself off to green, which is often the danger with these types of red pill movements, but of course they do serve their function. It's better to unite the otherwise unruly and repressed masculinity under a blue framework and a community like the one Elliot is providing rather than leaving it unaddressed.

Who said it wasn't?

I was helping the dude with his personal development based on my own experiences of personal development, but ok

Being a hippie atleast stops you from being an ethnocentric nationalist.

Two wrongs don't make a right

As long as you can tie your shoes and get to work on time, you're all good, buddy.

Do whatever you feel is right. You'll get used to not being able to relate to people the same way you used to. I was in your shoes 3 years ago myself, but I still hang out with other people despite all that. There are still many ways that you can connect to other people your age.

I do realise it, and I don't pretend that I'm not doing it. I'm saying I am doing it, and you're also doing it.

Ok. You were supposed to show me which definition of the word that you're willing to extend your authority to. Only you decide what is an authority. The only way you can awaken to yourself is by trusting yourself.

Do you?

It's cool if it happens for 3 seconds and you can snap out of it, but when it becomes your new baseline, it feels like the end.
