  1. This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.
  2. That is irrelevant. Red is just one quality out of infinite. You can replace red with any other quality and the quality does not age. No quality ages. All experiences of reality are made of qualities. It doesn't matter that your senses change over time. Red is always red. But you may not have the ability to experience it. Just as you don't experience most of the possible qualities at all times. Salty is still salty even if you aren't experiencing salty right now. The contents of your mind can mature, sure. That is not the aging of qualities. Even if you are blind, red is still red, just as cold is still cold even if you aren't cold right now.
  3. White bishop e3.
  4. I met many decent pickup guys.
  5. Mostly. Or crowded bars. You'd be surprised. I knew a guy who would grab any girl, any place, any time. Just shameless. He would grab your mother at Walmart. Lots of various ways: Walk up, facing her directly, and just take her hands in yours. As she walks past you, grip her by the forearm and pull her towards you Hand of God opener Tap on her shoulder Reach both arms out towards her and signal her to grab them Convert a handshake into a low dance Walk up and hug her from the front Motion at her with your hands, come hither. You improve at it by forcing yourself to only do physical openers for a month. No talking.
  6. I would try white rook to d1. White knight to f6. White rook takes queen or creates checkmate opportunity with white queen.
  7. King is quite powerful and can make or break games if used properly, offensively or to guard key pieces. Advanced players know how to leverage the king to win games. Newbies don't. A pro's king is aggressive and dangerous. King is vital in close end-games.
  8. I do physical openers a lot. I spent months just doing physical game.
  9. Obviously it was bad because he was a degenerate addict and totally unhinged for a long time, driving his parents nuts. They did so much to try to help him. I know these kind of people. They are life-long addicts. Nothing helps them other than being locked in prison where they can't get drugs.
  10. It matters that you don't say something insulting or creepy. Other than that, what matter is your vibe. Of you open like a stinky creeper then that matters a lot. My wings and I give each other stupid openers to say, like "I want to squeeze you", "I like the smell of my own farts".
  11. This one was pretty easy for me to visualize. It kind of depends on where the king decides to go. He has a few branching options but they should all fail.
  12. It is not quality, it is lame. Dark Souls has 40+ cool weapons. Getting new weapons is what the whole game is about.
  13. There is no God for you until you burn down human ideas.
  14. @Yimpa Thanks for sharing that clip.
  15. There are barely any weapons in Bloodborne. That sucks.
  16. The opener is irrelevant. What matters is your ability to carry an extended conservation. But there is no way to learn this skill theoretically. You must go and throw yourself into hundreds of conversations. Trust the process. The more you do it the better you'll get.
  17. Of course. Tolle got wealthy from extreme good luck. If you want to guarantee wealth, you must work hard. But not necessarily too hard. There are easy ways to get wealthy. Most of them are just gross and unethical.
  18. Of course. But this contradicts the OP's question.
  19. We cannot tell you what is right for you as far as such a serious issue. If you are in a psych ward you should probably listen to the doctors.
  20. The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos
  21. What is the puzzle here? This is a simple checkmate proceedure. Keep checking white until he is dead. Avoid the queen's diagonal.
  22. Eckhart Tolle nearly killed himself. So that's an odd example you chose. A certain percentage of people become rich through dumb luck, good fortune, and just being at the right place at the right time. Tolle is an example of that. If Oprah had not platformed him, he would be a nobody. Osho's success had a lot to do with the special timing of his rise. It was a cultural moment. Yes, there are easier ways of making money. It isn't always hard work. Some situations involve little work but massive profits. But it's hard to ensure this situation happens to you in particular without a lot of work. You have to hustle and manipulate reality to create those opportunties for yourself. Think of hard work as you rigging the game of life in your favor, otherwise the odds are too much against you. Imagine you had to slave away 10 hours a day for 10 years just to rig one slot machine in your favor, but then you won the jackpot. That's what hard work is often about.
  23. No it can't because if the diameter is too small the difference in gravity at the astronaut's feet vs head will make them dizzy and sick. Very large diameter is required to make this thing feel more than just a merry-go-round. Imagine living on a merry-go-round for a month. You would go insane. The gravity needs to feel very consistent and even. That the challenge with these designs. Earth's gravity feels so even because Earth has such a huge diameter.
  24. By that logic I am a figment of your imagination, so what are you concerned about? Why are you letting my imaginary dentist disturb your mind?
