I just don't get it. One day you write profound posts about god, consciousness, and philosophy that actually resonate with people. The next you're putting out pretentious garbage like this that completely contradicts your spiritual teachings. Maybe stick to what you understand instead of acting like you've transcended basic human connection. And if you really think socializing is such a waste of time and beneath your enlightened state, why are you even here posting on a forum? Shouldn't you be meditating in a cave somewhere, experiencing those supposedly deeper states of consciousness you keep preaching about? You morally grandstand on this non-issue as if it's important, and even worse, you basically call everyone else an idiot for thinking that socializing is enjoyable. You create this bullshit hierarchy where people who enjoy social connection have "shallower minds" - how is that any different from the ego-driven superiority complex you warn against in your spiritual posts? And that whole thing about financial independence being necessary for "true" solitude? Give me a break. Way to gatekeep spiritual growth behind economic privilege. You love putting everyone in neat little boxes - introverts do this, extroverts do that, young people need this, mature people want that. The world isn't that simple. Human experience is incredibly diverse and rich, and you're too wrapped up in your own narrow perspective to see it. For someone who claims to be so spiritually advanced, you sure spend a lot of time trying to categorize and judge how other people find meaning. Ever stop to consider that YOU might be the one wasting your life? All this grandiose philosophizing about spirituality while missing the profound beauty in simple human moments - that's the real waste. You preach about higher consciousness, yet you're blind to one of the most fundamental spiritual truths: there is no such thing as wasted time because all experience has inherent value. Who made you the arbiter of what's meaningful? People finding joy in conversations you deem "pointless" might be experiencing more genuine spiritual connection than someone sitting alone congratulating themselves on their supposed enlightenment. The fact that you can't see the divine in everyday human interaction while claiming to understand consciousness is the greatest irony of all. You dismiss simple moments as "petty drama" while preaching about deeper connection - do you really not see how fundamentally contradictory that is? And before you come back with some patronizing response like "If all things are relative, then just continue with your petty conversations" - that's exactly my point. If you were truly as enlightened as you claim to be, you wouldn't even feel the need to post something this tone-deaf. You'd recognize the beauty and value in all forms of human connection and realize it doesn't matter how people choose to interact or find meaning. The fact that you felt compelled to write this judgmental manifesto about how others spend their time shows you're still stuck in the exact kind of dualistic thinking you pretend to have transcended. For someone who posts about consciousness and God, you sure missed the point that deep thinking and rich social connections aren't opposites. They can actually enhance each other, but you're too busy looking down on "shallow" social interaction to notice. Your disclaimer at the end doesn't fix the condescending bs in the rest of the post. Maybe spend less time judging other people's paths to meaning and more time examining why you need to frame your preferences as spiritual superiority.
