Hahaha I just had to. Enjoy djent 🥸

Last night, I had a dream that I was being chased by several tornadoes. Then today I read about the tornado incident in Kentucky with an estimated death toll of 100 people, which is the worst tornado event in the history of Kentucky. About two weeks ago, I had a dream where PsychedSubstance got kicked out from his own house. Today he released this video: The night my dad's boss died from drowning, I had a nightmare where I was being chased by a ghost, fearing for my life. I usually never have those types of nightmares. What is this?

I'm not really into astrology or anything, but this one was interesting (not suggesting causality here though; just an interesting thing that happened): H. M. King Harald V died during the lunar eclipse (last lunar eclipse was 6 months ago), and when he died, there was allegedly sunny weather throughout the entire country (allegedly 2 months since last time it happened): 10:51 https://chatgpt.com/share/6a98c8dc-48a4-83eb-85e8-fe98f9a1f597 "Death followed by rebirth or renewal": death of H. M. King Harald V, coronation of H. M. King Haakon VIII. "But everything is death and rebirth or renewal; nothing special there". Yeah, which is why I'm not usually into astrology.

It was very important, especially because I valued it for doing exactly that, deepening one's intellectual capacities (meanwhile if you simply go there for e.g. career, then you might not get as much benefit in that direction, although it's unavoidable at some level). Also, the particular degrees I studied touched on so much of Leo's content, it really consolidated those things. Leo himself has said something to the effect that if you don't go to university you're not taught how to think rationally (so it explains why so many people are irrational). The thing is, while this is true, college forces you to learn things you otherwise probably wouldn't learn. It forces you to be a kind of a generalist at some level (that's at least what an undergraduate degree does to you), and that gives you a good foundation for understanding things (even if you're limited to just one field, which you usually are, because every field eventually links to "reality" in some way, think of it like a big web of connections spreading outwards). For example, there are not that many 'degrees of separation' from say understanding what research ethics is (which you have to learn in essentially all degrees to various extents) to what laws are vs what is ethics, what the government does and what are its limits (what other institutions exist, how do they work, how do they link together with the government, who in an institution is responsible for what, etc.). What I also often notice in people who did not go to college is they lack basic epistemic practices like judging the quality of one's sources of information. Also, simply learning to read and write at a higher level (and to write clearly) is invaluable for learning how to think. And not least, you learn to work consistently towards something, you learn structure, which translates to anything else you will do on your own that requires those things (I would most likely not have started coding a website or started seriously exploring the kind of business ideas I'm currently exploring if I did not go to university).

If I pick the wrong color by accident (t-shirt, or pants, or socks; that's my entire outfit, I'm a man), I get like dysphoria or a kind of allergic reaction. It's completely based on how I feel, I could go several days with the same color.

"Reality is [insert projection here]". "Mental illness". Huh, interesting. It's a scary thought but something tells me OP could be suffering of such severe hyper-concretism that when he says "reality is mental illness", he says that because that is literally what his experience of reality is like, and that saying that would be literally true for him. "I'm mentally ill so reality is mentally ill; that's literally what reality is, I am reality, I am God". "And me and God talk to each other like buddies", because that is also a sign of hyper-concretism, thinking of one's relationship to God like a relationship to a person; maybe even "God" literally talks to him as a voice in his head.

There are different points of the path. You should do what you want to do. That's the path.

Think of Absolute Truth / Absolute Reality as a gun with a single bullet in it. Think of "other people's experience", "my experience right now" or any conceptual division you come up with, as slices of pizza you have to cut with a knife. You shouldn't expect to slice a pizza with one gunshot the same way you would cut it with a knife. When I see solipsists asking whether other people have or don't have experience, whether their experience "right now" is all that exists, and whether this is absolutely true, I see somebody trying to slice a pizza with a single gunshot.

Schizo-autism.

Man you're out there.

Motte and Bailey is pretty much the "style of argumentation" you're engaging in. What specific Muslim countries? In what way are "the majority of muslims" dangerous?

Well, it holds up perfectly: poverty, low education, and cases of religious fundamentalism trampling human rights. Now tell me how "Islam/muslims are bad" holds when Afghanistan is your metric.

He is doing "social dynamics" 👀

When Monster Energy takes a cab to the airport in his country, he is fearing for his life. He could not live in New York City where the mayor is a muslim or live in Michigan where a muslim won the Democratic primary and is running for Senate. He could not live in the UAE where Europeans and Americans flock like birds as tourists and entrepreneurs. He could not visit Istanbul which has a lower crime rate than Malmö but higher percentage of muslims. He could not participate in a Chess tournament in Saudi Arabia because he would be paralyzed in fear and not able to think. Qatar, Kuwait, Brunei, Bahrain is off the table, even though people who earn 5x his salary travel there for business meetings many times a year. He could not enter an Uppsala university classroom to learn Muslim theology because he would fear being beaten by the Muslim professor with 2-3 decades of academic experience. He will now concede that these things exist and they are not too bad. But then he will continue to focus on areas of crime, poverty, low education, young males, and cases of religious fundamentalism trampling human rights, because that's how his narrative keeps afloat.

That's definitely not true. It can make you more awake depending on how you approach your sober state and psychedelics. If you get caught in a psychedelic hole where you only do psychedelics and nothing else, it could leave you at the same place in the sober state. But if you aim towards a higher state while sober with other methods, psychedelics can aid you in that.

If you go against your values and you notice it leads to a lot of suffering, that will make you more assertive in the future to not do that. But you have to notice that you're about to go against your values and know that you have to be assertive to avoid that. Many people go in that trap (they go against their values and they suffer but they don't notice or know how that happened or how to go around it).

@CosmicExplorer I was about to post this myself but while giving the summary "you think AI is shit because you're running the shit version".

The first guy I know who died was into weed and psychedelics initially, then benzodiazepines and coke (I met him before he was going to work one time and he was coked up and on benzos and I was like "ok so we're there"). Then he was into opioids (not sure if it involved heroin) and then he died of a drug overdose. He seemed quite lonely once when I met him and he asked me to do amphetamines with him but I had to go to a dinner so I refused. He had friends but he seemed a bit troubled (he was constantly high on weed, quite introverted; he had a horrible trip on salvia I heard; perhaps there was trauma involved, before or after that). He was our trip sitter when me and many of my friends first did LSD (he was spooked off psychedelics at the time; he could only do it while on benzos). The second guy was an ex-roommate (not from my university). First he was into weed, then we heard he stopped working at his job and his girlfriend broke up with him, and later when I and another roommate had moved to a different place, that roommate met him randomly in the city and he told me he had started doing heroin. That's when I thought he might not have much time left (we were approaching 27-territory). Then the next year, he died (I found out only a week or so ago). At the end he was living in an "emergency housing" and then he asked for immediate admission to a hospital because he felt "sick" but was refused, and then he left the housing, and 12 days later, he was found in a lake. The guy was into Sadhguru. The third guy died very recently and a friend told me had recently been admitted to the psychiatric ward for "attempted murder" (which I think would likely involve an amphetamine psychosis, but he always had violent tendencies; he one time knocked out and robbed a mutual friend for skimming some weed he sold him). He also robbed another mutual friend who had offered him to stay at his place I think free of charge (like wut?) together with another person. He was pronounced dead on a Monday, perhaps he ODed during the weekend (maybe alcohol or something else). So that's drugs.

Or a cigarette pack in your pocket. You know what is even more tied to us? The dopaminergic circuitry that gets hijacked by repeated administration of addictive substances. That circuitry is involved in essentially all forms of (proactive) behavior. And in fact, porn addiction can be said to be about that circuitry rather than the innate sex drive you're talking about. The OP talks about how he is completely drained, yet he keeps coming back to it. What is drained? The innate sexual energy. What is being triggered? The dopaminergic circuitry. Natural sexual behavior responds to the buildup of sexual energy, it's constrained; addiction is habit, it can be magnified almost endlessly.

It's that society hates ugly people more than ugly people.

What's more deceitful, is to use AI to write your text without disclosing that it was used.

That's how emotions are supposed to work: directed outwards (usually at the "source", although that can be socially/morally dubious at times as you say; but if not that, at least directed outwards). Pulling the energy inwards and into the mind, that's like creating an entirely different problem. Our king (H.M. King Harald V, RIP) just died a few days ago and the new king (H.M. King Haakon VIII) has always struck me as repression example #1. So extremely controlled and lack of affect, but you can feel there are things under the surface. I saw it during his first speech as king and during interviews about the recent royal scandals. There is energy there that wants to do shit. Sure, being emotionless is more "optimal" often in some ways, but if the emotion is there, it's there, whatchu gonna do, hide from it?

That reality exists is 100% certain. Reality is God.

Idk o_o I like emotions that are short and sweet, like "road rage" that lasts for 5 seconds.
