I bet my hat Leo will say this is still selfishness 💀

As selfless as you can be if you care to survive and mantain your form

I dont get how can there be greater good without selfishness.

How can one transform without selfishness,lead,be effective.

Do you get how can there be a horrible bad with extreme selfishness right?

I guess selfishness here means gaining while taking from someone else.

Selfishness means form and limitation, so that your form plays in the balancing act of Reality, that's the greater Good.

And btw, my point was meta, the example was a vehicle for it

You can discard the example and get the meta, that was the reason for communication

Although the example I believe deserves credit on its own as well

What's an extreme selfishness? Like loving myself so much my head explodes?

I dont know what balancing act of reality you mean?

Im talking to you not Leo 😂

@NoSelfSelf I build upon Leo's work as math builds upon numbers. If you don't know the basics we can't talk. If you don't know what selfishness is or what the balancing act of Reality is, that lies on you, contemplate it by your means. After the work, you may find that it aligns with what other talented individuals have grasped

Totally. His blog posts are all so narcissistic, condescending and negative. I don’t know how anyone can stand to read it.

A case in point! 

That awful, pretentious format as well…

Too much selfishness and too much altruism are the same thing. I think the whole point in such things is to find the sweet balance between two extremes. 

[UnbornTao]

Let's concede that certain observations might be "factual", just maybe. Given that, what's threatened by certain posts may precisely be "selfishness", as something within you gets confronted by an occurrence that is by nature independent of your self-agenda.

@koops I attended an event for dynamic meditation. I brought a friend from work and it was just us and the two organizers. Turned out, they were part of Osho's commune in its hay day. One of them said he witnessed poppy smuggling. Probably the stuff that Sheila used to tranquilize the commune with when it got routy. 
Fun times

I like it. It's a reality check. The reader's feelings shouldn't matter here.

If this "negativity" upsets anybody, then it has done its work well.

You have convinced yourself that your selfishness is good for the world.

How delusional.

True greatness lies in transcending your biases, aligning with Truth and devoting your life to serve a greater good.

This is selflessness

I'm not a fan of the shoehorned positivity.

I can just hear the cartoon trumpet fanfare as the new message attempts to feign an uplifting emotional trajectory.

Practically speaking, the added lines shift emphasis to imply that "greatness" is the goal; transcendence, truth, and good are framed as virtue-pillars to feel good about oneself.

The focus is subtly no longer on reality checking, but rather on feeling good. Which is exactly what the original message is warning of!

In bed with the most attractive women on the planet.
Her: So what you are into
Me: I'm into weird creature design, concept art of scifi environment alien places exotic colors, sometime creepypasta atheistic 



For real i love george lucas and his artistic spirit, its insanely inspiring to me to watch any behind the scene of the original star war
a movie like this for me is nothing short of a miracle its insanely beautiful  how much they did with their limited technology

One time I was in bed with a girl and I told her:

I wanna go to a Chinese supermarket, buy a chicken foot, tie some dental floss around it, and hang it around your neck.

@Leo Gurayou are so romantic. You must have girls crazy for you Casanova!

“ You can turn creature design into a life purpose. You could make a whole YT channel devoted to how you design weird alien creatures and use that as your portfolio and parlay that into a career as a creature design expert for film, games, etc. What a fun career that would be! What is stopping you from becoming the world's leading creature design expert? “

 

Funnily enough Leo, you described my current career.

If you’re interested, I’d suggest looking at Terryl Whitlatch’s books on creature design, as she had the pleasure of designing a lot of the creatures you would see in star wars. These books are full of some fascinating illustrations along with a few things you can learn. 

Currently I’m learning how to design, 3D model, texture and do CG fur for creatures. I can show you some things I’ve been trying to work on!

Theres all sorts of things like anatomy, life cycle, adaptations, environment, diet, social adaptations, etc and also general design principles you have to think about when designing such creatures. 

I’ve talked to people who do this for a living and they have enormous moodboards on all sorts of animals and creatures that inspire their work. 

Food for thought, I could nerd on about creature design since I’m deep in the rabbit hole.
