So there is no such thing as vascular dementia. Great, thank you.

You say the dumbest shit sometimes I don't know how else to put it 😂

We're obviously talking about sub-clinical "diabetes" in quotation marks here. If you didn't have dementia, you would understand this 😂 (jking). And if you simply eat less (which skinny people tend to do), glucose obviously becomes less of a problem. Nevertheless, spiking your blood sugar with cola and fast food will cause inflammation, even if you're able to clear it from your blood eventually and you don't have chronic elevation and severe dysfunction of insulin as in real diabetes.

I had some severely decent earwax buildup from sleeping with earplugs for over 5 years and not getting my ears emptied out. It was pretty bad because I often had trouble hearing what people were saying if there was a lot of environmental noise. And music always sounded a bit muffled (not to mention one ear more than the other), so that alone was a good reason to get them cleaned out. I initially bought some DIY ear cleaning device from Temu which broke after 3 days — who would have thought that could happen? — and I made some decent progress in cleaning (but I don't recommend it because you can easily hurt yourself), but I eventually got them cleaned out by a doctor (my mom lol) by flushing them. It only took 10 minutes from entering the office and doctor preparing everything and removing all of it. Here is the before and after hearing test using an app on my phone: Before: After: (It seems like I registered O dB according to the chart at 2000 Hz on the after test. Maybe I hallucinated that one, or maybe not). I highly recommend it. Music is so amazing now and I can actually hear people talking to me and things outside when walking.

I can see how some of my parents decisions moved me in a certain way that could've made more life either more easy or difficult. But whichever way, I'm privileged to say that these things were also in their own way a gift.

Let go of your attachments — don't hurt yourself, just let go of yourself. Let go of not wanting to be here. Let go of not wanting to be in this body. Let go of not wanting to be in this story. Let go of not wanting to be this identity — sexless, aging, suicidal, burnt out, writing endlessly into a void. Let go of being that identity. In general, whatever thought that arises in your mind, tell yourself "whatever happens, I will be ok". Once your identity, your "oughts", die down, you will see your identity as that which existed before you were born and which will exist after death. But the odds are that once you experience this, you will want to not go all the way and instead pursue those things that you're repressing in the world. You want sex, you want connection, you want things. But it does not hurt to go there. In fact, it might be the only way, other than getting help the other ways you mentioned.

I am the Zen stick.

Am I right in saying taking 5-MeO-DMT but not letting go of your attachments is fake spirituality, or is that too radical? 😗

Let's not forget that "fake spirituality" in this case does not equal to "untrue factual claims". That's an easy but mistaken implication here. I challenge anyone to actually disprove the factual claims of "New Age BS". And if not disprove, explain exactly why they're unlikely hypotheses.

Most "New Age BS" haven't been categorically proven to be untrue. You just assume based on some preconceived (and often not well thought through) notion that it's highly unlikely. But if anything, thinking you can turn yourself into an alien live on camera (and your followers being like "oh really? Tell me more!") 😜🤫

Translation for non-French people: "When I'm hungry, I crave cardiac arrest" 🤣.

Reason and human imagination grants the ability of conceiving of an unknown separate from what is immediately known (Being), which allows you to postulate something outside of what is right here, right now, which makes Being only absolute with respect to the known. But that is not in itself to argue in favor of any particular unknown more than any other. The unknown could be anything. Being could be limited and outside of it rests a pink elephant, but you can't argue for that absolutely; it might as well be green, or yellow, or a bird. And if that is the case, why bother with it?

We're living in a more dark and twisted version of the movie Wall-E.

I look at small kids today the same way I look at the cockroaches you poured energy drinks on for fun when you were a dumb teenager. They're like small Frankenstein monsters wired out of their minds.

You just described stereotypical New Age. New Age in general is the individualistic "assemble your own spirituality" (which you in reality just got pre-packaged from some YouTube guru, hence how different from religion is it really?). What I described as "stereotypical New Age" (presumably "false spirituality"; I didn't watch the video), seems to fall under the two first categories below, while the "true spirituality" New Age falls under the last category: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age

AI therapists, AI porn, AI-generated educational videos. We're screwed.

Think of it this way: do you think your own IQ would decrease if you went to church and sang songs every Sunday instead of raking your brain over the same TikTok brainrot you usually do? Fun fact: singing in a group is actually a powerful meditative tool (and meditation, believe it or not, is associated with higher IQ). See how I have to paint everything with a New Age brush for you to swallow it? It's almost like you're religious...

What's the point of being Enlightened?

Or genetic freaks who just sit down and suddenly hours pass without them noticing.

I haven't tried it yet myself. What you got? Oh that's right, you don't eat vegan food.

Yet some "humans" sit still for 13 days without needing those things.

Is that really impossible though?

Spirituality is the practice of adopting a spiritual ego and then deconstructing it. If you are aware of this process, you will save yourself a lot of self-deception. You will also be more accepting and less reactive (less egoic) about the spiritual process. This also means that all tools, be it intellect or feeling, are accepted and not neglected, as they are seen as an inevitable part of the process and also that it must all be let go off in the end. To react strongly to these things is ego. Accepting them and eventually letting them go avoids excessive and self-referential/meta ego (which is the messy kind).

@all Do you guys still not understand that you have to give up everything? It's so simple it's tragicomical.
