Dance classes are a great place to meet girls. Yoga too. It's just hard for a socially awkward guy to gain enough experience there to get really good with women. But it is still worth signing up to dance classes to get whatever experience is possible there. If you are into pickup, you should sign up for some dance classes and try your luck there as well. It will teach you a less direct form of game.

The more serious concern is farming and producing vegan food and just living life, still results in the death of many animals. How many animals are killed to bulldoze a field to grow carrots? And how many are killed by all the chemicals we use? Human life in general is very destructive to animals on this planet. That is a truth that must be confronted. -
I don't buy this idea that psychedelics decrease brain activity. Psychedelics increase the interconnectedness of the brain.

You are completely correct. And yet, this is exactly how brutal life is for most organisms on this planet. Yes, you are contributing to that by eating animals. What you do about it is up to you. -
Being frugal is very good. However, you have to watch out that it doesn't backfire on you. It is actually better to invest most of your mental energy figuring out how to provide more value to the world and make more money, than it worrying about pinching every penny. Your goal should be to earn enough money to the point where you don't have to worry money ever again. But of course this doesn't mean you will become wasteful with money. Your frugality can hold you back from making much more money. This is the problem with it.

No, no, no. Do not abuse Spiral Dynamics in this way. Spiral Dynamics is a scientific model that only applies to humans. You guys need to learn the limits of models. A scientific model cannot be applied to everything under the sun. What Spiral Dynamics level is my coffee table?

That is the delicious paradox! There's really not a good answer to it other than to do a massive amount of psychedelics until your whole notion of a material reality melts away forever. I have become more conscious than most humans on this planet. But I still cannot tell you why psychedelics are as effective as they are. It's like a magic key. But if you think deeply about it, it's not so complicated to understand why it must work that way. Because your genetics and chemistry regulates absolutely everything about your life. If the chemicals in your body were off by just a few milligrams, you'd be dead. But the mistake you make here is to take that as evidence for materialism being true. But that's just bad epistemology. Just because your consciousness or life is contingent on chemistry does not in any way mean that materialism is true. Because what you're failing to consider is that chemistry is just Consciousness! Just because your player character dies when he is shot in the head in a video games does not make the video game world real or physical. That is just a relationship that is coded between various phenomena inside the video game world. A physical bullet is not actually killing anything in the video game world. There's just a rule that says: if these pixels collide with these other pixels, trigger a death animation and restart the game. Or consider your dreams. If you are running away from a serial killer inside a dream, and you lock the door behind you, why do you do that? Since this is a dream, isn't it obvious to you that the serial killer could just fly through door like a ghost? Why are you playing these games? And why are you running away in the first place? Isn't it obvious to you that if a serial killer stabs you that nothing bad will happen? But you see... the problem is that you're DREAMING. You're unconscious. So you mistake all these illusions for something substantial and physical. You actually believe that the walls of your house are physical. This is ridiculous if you just become a little more conscious. I am so conscious that I do not exist on planet Earth. Planet Earth is just a figment of my imagination. I exist nowhere. And I have no brain. That is Awakening. There never was physicality. It's pure fiction.

They certainly are. I just hope the cost is not too high for them.

@The0Self My issue is not simply a lack of thyroid hormone. That is just a symptom of a deeper problem. I have a genetic autoimmune disorder. My mother has it too. I've had it since I was a teen, and no simple external solution, like a supplement, is going to fix it.

This is also true. And therein lies the impasse. What Russia is currently doing is wrong. But they were cornered into it despite many warnings. So it is not like they are just acting evil for no good reason the way Americans like to pretend. This is why actually listening to each other is so important to maintain peace. You can't just disregard the warnings and boundaries of the other party. You can't keep crossing someone's boundaries over and over again and expect pleasant results.

That must be tough. I feel ya.

It is to some degree. You will never be perfectly unbiased at all times. However, you can transcend bias for periods of time suffienctly to access the Absolute and have genuine insight and understanding into things. It's like golfing. You will never be a perfect golfer, but you can be really good for stretches of time, better than everyone else. -
Some people struggle to convert T4 into T3. T4 by itself is useless if your body fails to convert it. Thyroid problems are a lot more complicated than just these two hormones.
-
I take both T4 and T3, but they have no significant effect on me. I tried high doses and it doesn't help. High doses are not good for long-term health. So I take moderate doses to normalize my bloodwork.

You make a compelling point.

You can rest assured it came from God. The racoons and Chinese are just middlemen -
Hell yes.

It's not so simple. You exclude half the world there.

Because INFINITY is ONE. God is ONE by virtue of co-opting EVERYTHING, until nothing remains. No remainders.

@Devin Yeah, its seems like 17 years old is about when they start doing it. It's like the most unclear situation. Not truly an adult but a child either. This stuff doesn't have a simple clear answer. I don't like it when either side acts like there is a simple clear answer on this issue. Balance is crucial here.

No. The only thing God chooses is Truth/Love. The rest is a necessary consequence of that one ultimate choice. Everything has to be as it is to maximize Love. God is nothing other than a Love-maximizing Intelligence. There is only one way to maximize Love. This is it.

Absolute Consciousness. Short-tempered? I am patient like a saint with the nonsense you guys speak You can become directly and absolutely conscious of the ultimate nature of Consciousness. Because Consciousness is Infinite, it cannot have any dependencies outside itself. God is a sovereign Mind that imagines all of reality around itself. Including brains, chemistry, psychedelics, science, history, time, space, and anything else you can imagine. There is nothing anyone can do to undermine God. Ever. That is what makes God, God, and not just another construct. God is not a piece of content within Consciousness, God is the totality of every possible thing. You're assuming that a brain can just exist without God. It certainly cannot because God has to create it first. Ultimately you have to ask, How can anything at all exist? And what you will finally realize is: Only within the Mind of God. All scientific studies exist within the Mind of God, and nowhere else. Because God is Everywhere. Before there was science, there was God. After science and mankind dies off, there will be God.

I'm just gonna take a wild guess here and say that this girl eats trash. If you don't take health seriously, the default is eating trash.

The bottom line is this: there are definite perks to being a hot girl, but there are downsides too, and overall they balance out so you shouldn't feel too envious. It's like playing an RPG character. Every skill point comes with trade-offs. The sexy elf is not better than the ugly orc if the game is well-designed. That's what makes replaying the game so fun.
