Sorry, no time frame.

Of course. That content is for a course.

Those weird quirky shapes are kinds of advanced thoughts. Humans thoughts are so weak that when you think of a chair you don't see a weird quirky shape in your mind.

I'm curious, how many of you here suffer from tinnitus (ringing in the ears)? What caused your tinnitus? How loud is your tinnitus on a scale of 1 to 10? Have you found any solutions that worked for you? The reason I ask is because I think I found a cure, which I plan to share in a few weeks.

Thanks everyone. Ya'll are sweet.

I don't know. Probably not.

Why else would you do such a thing?

Sunwarrior is full of heavy metals. Watch out. Powdered food is not to be trusted, no matter how expensive or "vegan" it is. Try to stick to whole foods.

@Nemra Of course once he's stung the emotions are real. I didn't say he was faking it. If you shoot yourself in the foot for attention, your emotions will be real.

He's not a masochist, he's doing it for clicks and fame. Mr Beast style.

I've had my umbrella out the whole time

Preety, a former member here, had BPD and it made helping her very difficult because she could not control her emotions. It got so out of hand that eventually I had to ban her. I hope she finds help. I feel bad for people stuck in such a situation.

This.

I am not going to get dragged into Destiny drama. From everything I have heard Destiny say, he has reasonable, grounded, and nuanced positions, moreso than most leftists. You don't have to agree with him on everything to acknowledge that. Destiny does a good job of understanding conservative positions, unlike much of the left who act like the left is always correct no matter what.

It's almost impossible to get fat eating whole meat, veggies, and fruits. Regardless of exercise. To get fat you need to eat lots of refined carbs, sugars, fats, junk, and sweets. Fat people are not eating healthy. My guess is Owen has been eating out at fancy restuarants again, like in his early days. Or just overworking himself and eating junky fast-food. Owen keeps himself so busy that it's probably hard for him to find time for cooking whole foods.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Yellow thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Yellow. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Yellow thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Yellow. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list. Stage Yellow Values: Nuance & complexity Openmindedness Perspective Novel concepts & POVs Generating fresh insights Understanding Systems thinking Nonlinear dynamics Sustainability, long time frames Going meta Big picture vs technical analysis Holistic analysis Synthesis Connecting the dots Penetrating to the core of an issue Identifying & solving root problems A multi-disciplinary approach Mixing hard & soft sciences Creativity, outside-the-box solutions Ecology Responsible ways of being Studying models Spiral Dynamics Natural hierarchies Education, knowledge, research, reading Reading lots of diverse books Clean content, concentrated information Life-long learning Expertise, competence, experience Context, learning from history Developing skills to become an instrument for the greater whole Independent thinking Neutrality: Being objective/impartial Designing solutions for the entire Spiral Meeting people where they are at Building bridges Social engineering Ecological designs Reducing the suffering of living systems Pulling ideas from many sources Combining different ideas, models, theories Left-brained Vision & purpose, being a visionary Requisite variety, mental flexibility Self-actualization Paradox Uncertainty Responsibility, independence, autonomy Being a lone-wolf Stage Yellow Examples: Abraham Maslow, Eben Pagan, Noam Chomsky, Fritjof Capra, Carl Sagan, quantum mechanics, fathers of quantum mechanics, David Bohm, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrodinger, Arthur Eddington, Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson, John Archibald Wheeler, Paul Feyerabend, Kurt Godel, Obama, George Soros, Joseph Campbell, Erich Fromm, Clare Graves, Don Beck, Spiral Dynamics, Ilya Prigogine, chaos theory, cybernetics, biomimetics, NLP, Alfred Korzybski, the leading edge of academia, futurists, StarTrek humans & Vulcans, Prime Directive, sustainable living, ecology, eco cities, conflict resolution, Shinzen Young’s mindfulness system, Wikipedia, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Jacques Derrida, Buckminster Fuller, W.V.O.

No

Ambition is probably the least recognized yet most important personality trait.

Probably not without some technology. What really where the whole tech cycle is headed in the long-run. All human technology is a joke next to the technology to permanently augment the brain for higher consciousness.

User @outlandish suggested we start a 5-meo mega-thread, as people seem to have lots of general questions about it. You can still create your own individual threads about 5-meo, and trip reports shouldn't be posted in this thread, but otherwise, consider this the place for general 5-meo discussion. Here's a link to Erowid's 5-MeO-DMT Vault, which has a lot of basic information. Note: Do not ask questions here about how to source psychedelics. That is against our Forum Guidelines, so it will be deleted.

@Miguel1 Yup, that's how it goes.

BPD can be a really taxing, stubborn, life-long condition. It's hard for such people to live normal well-functioning lives because their mind is so chaotic. It's no surprise that such people have a high suicide rate. It's hard for a normal person to understand the hell that BPD can be and how stubborn it is.

Obviously your DNA mostly doesn't change. Obviously your metaphysical identity as God doesn't change. But I wasn't talking about those. I was talking about your core personality. That also doesn't really change. Your personality is deeply connected to your strengths and values. But your personality requires work to unearth and blossom. So what changes is that you unearth yourself. And then of course stuff like your mind, your worldview, your beliefs, and your habits can change a lot if you pursue serious growth, development, and life experience.

I don't think it's realistic.
