@Clarence If what I said here depresses you, then I am glad I held the content back.

Of course there are risks. But even with a trip sitter there are risks. It really depends on how good your self-control is and how unhinged your mind gets. If you have poor self-control and you cannot discipline yourself to carefully stick to tripping protocol, then use a trip sitter.

What I said went completely over your head. Taste is not about me. And just because I have taste does not mean it's perfect. I could develop it even more.

I want to make a video about taste. Yes, I think you can develop taste. You can do it by spending a lot of time contemplating the difference between examples of good taste and poor taste. If you do that for years you will build a neural network in your head, or an "eye", for this vast abstraction called taste. This is what good artists do. You should spend a lot time contemplating: What is taste? The more consciousness you apply to it the better your taste will get. There is probably also a genetic component to good taste because most people are simply tasteless and I'm unsure whether its possible to train them to have it. I don't know since I've always had good taste. But I've also spent a lot of time training it. I can look at a piece of art, or music, or a logo, and immediately tell if it was made with good taste. In a sense it is a consciousness of beauty.

I'm not kidding. Thanks! I appreciate that. That kind of content is exhausting to make.

I have some very powerful videos coming soon. The less videos I publish the more profound things I have to say and the better they will be when I finally say them. If I delay a video by a year, the video will be 2x better when it finally does come out because it's had a lot of time to marinate in my mind. I have topics and videos which are so deep that I don't even record them because they would blackpill and depress you guys. And yet, they contain life-changing understandings.

Why do people assume I believe that my tastes are universal? You take me for some kind of fool. Whenever I share something I like that does not mean you will like it. This is so obvious I shouldn't need to explain it.

What is his religious view?

Memes celebrating psychedelics. Post 'em if you got 'em.

Very sus to "keep in touch" with 6 ex's. For what possible reason? If I had to keep in touch with 6 ex's I would want to kill myself

I don't know enough about Go to know if I would like it.

People have been doing that in Russia for ages -- jumping into frozen ponds. This is not like some new thing.

My health makes it very unhealthy for me. If you are in good health then it's not as big a deal. But still, you should assume it has a toll.

Yup

At that age you need more constructing than deconstructing.

I don't trip any more. For health reasons.

It's obvious to anyone with taste that that is a masterful painting, assuming it isn't an AI rehash.

Not since teenage years. Huh? It's pure chess. All the principles apply other than lame memorized openings.

I still have serious spiritual work to do and if I made a bunch of commitments to business, career, etc I would never do it. In order to really grow I had to stop making videos as I did for 10 years.

This work is no lark.

I deconstructed everything so much that I disillusioned myself on many things, like the fantasy of being a spiritual teacher, having a career, being popular, being admired, leaving a legacy, saving mankind, doing good for the world. These are fantasies. Being a leader is a kind of fantasy too.

Some are cheering, some are cringing.

Nah, it's eye-opening and fun.

It's not something I care about. The reason my work is different is because my motives and values are different. The things most humans care about I do not.

Because I do not want to play the game of being that guy -- the social media influencer careerist. I deliberately do not try to build a popular well-oiled self-help guru brand, which becomes an end in itself. I go out of my way not to do business. You want me to be a strong classical leader, and I appreciate that, but I am more of an anti-leader.
