So many people got their lives literally destroyed by these things. And we're supposed to trust the doctors, the "experts". Nothing saves you from being diligent and cautious and looking at things thoroughly from many angles before deciding on something that might change your life forever, "doing your own research", no matter how hijacked that notion has become. If you blindly trust a machine that treats incredibly serious side effects as business as usual, you can ultimately only blame yourself and your own ignorance. (NOTE, VERY IMPORTANT: I'm not saying you should stop taking psychiatric medication if you're currently on them or that you should reject them if you're in a truly urgent medical situation. But you should sure as hell think twice about starting them if you have the choice and you're not in a truly urgent medical situation. And if you are currently on them, you should consider looking for legitimate medical options for tapering off them safely).

It's two very different things to claim to read people's state by being with them (virtually or in person) versus claiming to know the state of any person you have never been with or could ever be with. Reading someone else's state by being with them is quite straightforward. It's called empathy. But some things require more subtle attention and perception to know how to read. I know some people who probably couldn't read a saint from a rock. But yes, the issue of claiming to be more awake than anybody in the entire world goes way beyond the issue of reading people. It's about making firm statements of things outside your experience or evidence (which is not to embrace solipsism; it's to acknowledge that you haven't met or don't know about every person in the world). And even if you do meet or know about somebody, your knowledge of them can be flawed. So even then, firmly claiming one way or another will be most likely a mistake of epistemology (if your epistemology is sensitive to any form of nuance or probability).

OMG LOL haha What do you think about Big Jan (RIP; he's not called that, that was a joke; Jan Esmann)?:

That image is the funniest thing I've seen in a damn while.

As long as you do what you want and be honest and authentic about that. God will show you what you need anyway.

I would be careful about giving out trophies like this "great work!". It's obvious that the main issue is about letting go. All the "insights" are linguistic mind stuff and feelings (which if you like that, all power to you, but they seem like distractions in this case from the real issue of letting go). Psychedelics don't make you let go. They can only make it more clear that you're not letting go, that is if you don't distracted by the noise your ego makes when reacting to it. At the end of the day, only you let go. And the process for this is very simple. And if you feel like you don't know how to let go or you want to let go but you don't feel you can do it, find out how you can get to that place. It might just be living life asking yourself what do you want. And the more you do that, eventually you arrive at a place where letting go is what you want. For this, psychedelics can be a major distraction (again, because you can get lost in mind stuff). The saying "put down the phone when you got the message" is for this. Those who have taken psychedelics many many times seem to sooner or later arrive at this place where the letting go issue becomes blatantly obvious, but they can still get lost in the noise. And perhaps, that's when the experiences start to get more difficult. It becomes harder to ignore and getting lost in the noise becomes increasingly futile and dissatisfying. And to somebody on the outside, when you describe getting to that place, it becomes easy to identify the oscillating back and forth between running into the wall of having to let go and then retreating back into mind creations.

You let go yet?

1. If you want, look up all the people who have left either quietly or loudly in the last few years and their reasons for it. The Reddit thread I linked is a microcosm of that. That there are a few who have decided to ride through it or have other reasons for staying doesn't negate those numbers. But even in the worst cults you can imagine, people stay, so what does it tell you really? "Leaving" as a metric for how bad it is just doesn't work very well either way. "They were brainwashed". Ok, then are you brainwashed? 2. I can write a 50 paragraph post on literally nothing and that will be a normal day. Besides, my intellectual investment was honestly in talking about what a cult is and then the cult members got emotional. The most emotional I've got here was because one person doesn't know how to have a discussion without treating it like a one-up-man contest. And that was an issue in other threads as well entirely unrelated to this one.

Solipsism makes sense if you're a spergy narc.

Self-fellating The symbol-depth (not tied to concept) style of communicating is familiar to me as a person with half bipolar genes. The tendency towards clanging is deep within me.

Less trying to speak to a child, more speaking coherently with what I have to say. If there is a word you don't understand, that's one Google search. That doesn't mean I will never explain or elaborate. But not every slightly mighty word every time it's used.

At some point I stopped trying to speak so damn "neutered" and be more free. Schizo would call it being phallic.

😢

Regardless, it's just bot running down the script. A serious engagement would not make the cognitive hallucination that giving a con means you have to leave.

Would you say others don't even exist inside your own mind, or do they exist inside your own mind?

According to Sadhguru, it was to escape religious persecution. Which if it's not the entire explanation, might be partially true, maybe more than we think. Regardless, y'all think it's some kind of spiritual requirement to sit in a damp ass cave 💀 Cultural conformity.

Show me one concept you cannot learn anywhere else.

There are pros and cons. And I acknowledge the cons. The question "why don't you leave?" is often a rhetorical question saying "it can't be that bad if you don't want to leave", so then I'll answer this is what the cons are so we're clear on what they are and you don't get to act cute with a rhetorical question.

When the leader of a movement has a self-admitted autistic fixation and that same level of fixation starts to become the normal, that's probably a sign of an unbalanced society.

The initial question was about having sex more often, not specifically "sex drive". More women = higher seduction rates, plus you can simply build up a habit of having more sex even if you're not feeling it very much, just like some people have a habit of jerking it every night even when they're soft.

Just a little too late for Ozempic, or just fast a little. Imagine choosing death over fasting a little or eating some veggies.

It's worth not taking looksmaxxing seriously just to avoid viewing somebody's face through some autistic scoreboard rather than the holistic feeling of beauty. I pity somebody like Clav who treats human faces like the way a car nerd treats sports cars when they open up the hood to look at the motor. I had a similar response when I learned about the name of species of trees in botany class in university. What I used to simply enjoy as a green nice tree suddenly became a label, a word, and everytime I would look at a tree, instead of being brought to silence at the ambiance and radiance, my mind vomited (in Norwegian) "Ask", "Osp", "Plantanlønn", etc. I was so annoyed, it ruined trees for me for a solid while. And then I wasn't even analyzing them much in detail. It was just one word usually (or "what tree is this?"). And here you have Clav looking like he is reading a blueprint for an architectural project.

And in that case (assuming "produces" is in any way more illustrative than "causes" and doesn't merely function as a synonym which also needs to be explained, which he didn't explain), the sentence before that was completely dead weight.

Ask AI what a circular definition is.
