  1. "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world, today I am wise so I am changing myself" - Rumi
  2. Left is more conscious than the Right but being above them both and seeing the meta is even more conscious. Leftist tend to engage in endless non-sense debates with Right-wingers and also mocking them, which I dont find very conscious. Leftists on Youtube also especially use alot of "Outrage" clickbait, "Look at this crazy conservative and how stupid he is!". or "Look what the Trumpers did now!"
  3. At its core, yes, I think so, but there are different flavor to it, the old school church had alot of asceticism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilice https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylite https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-flagellation
  4. Never implied that, I was making a larger point that the most common perspective here is from Pickup, being respectful to women and Pickup dont co-exist, atleast not Pickup in its Stage Orange form.
  5. You should add him (Schmachtenberger) to your examples list. @Leo Gura
  6. You cant equate a plastic toy to giving herself up to man. That logic doesnt fly.
  7. But most guys here follow pickup here, which teaches the opposite of this "Shes just testing you, bro, she actually wants the D."
  8. If they are ready for it, truth is most arent, especially Blue people.
  9. Follow your bliss.
  10. Lol, I remember Rali, he used to do reaction videos to Leo.
  11. Feedback Loops (Positive and Negative) Equilibrium Non-Linearity These are essentials concepts too.
  12. Did you plug it? Jk, happy for you Leo! My time hasnt come yet, old folks first here.
  13. The system has a sensor that quickly senses when something is wrong, the system calls the wrong pseudo-science. When the system adheres to rationality it is in homeostasis, it is intact and healthy. There are agents within the system, we could call them hardcore followers of science, alot of them become debunkers. This is how the system keeps out irrationality. How the system keeps itself alive. Rational -> That which confirms rational bias/schemata -> keeps homeostasis -> an irrational intruder (pseudo-science) -> doesnt conform bias/schemata -> the system goes to attack or makes itself distinct (We are not that) -> The system is kept intact The system is also strengthened by distinguishing itself. Its an adaptive system. To keep itself alive it needs to keep being science and rationality. If it changes too fast and too much it loses its core identity. The only way for the system to evolve is to add new components by exploring non-science and so it slowly but very subtly does otherwise its quickly a dodo bird. And heres the dilemma: Ultra-rational and closed = extinction Rational but a little open = continued evolution Balance is delicately held. Sorry if its a bit messy or wrong lol, Im very new to systems thinking.
  14. Its usually the traits you feel you dont have that are hiding in the shadow. For example, maybe you fancy yourself very smart and so when someone calls you dumb you feel triggered because you have not allowed your ego to be dumb, you feel its not you, everyone can be dumb, its just human nature, were not perfect. The traits we DO accept in ourselves (usually the good ones) we are conscious of so they are not in the shadow, they are in the light so to speak. I didnt work on any traits more than one day, but I contemplated the trait in myself throughout the day (I did the exercises in the morning) so I have never felt the need to go back to them. But if you feel yourself getting triggered you can for sure go back to them, up to you, no strict rules. Although now I have discovered new Shadow Traits in myself recently so I will do some more traits soon. Yes, I highly recommend the book, its one of my top 5 books, life-changing.
  15. Context? Alcoholics tend to drink everyday or go on week long benders. Are you addicted to alcohol?
  16. I never claimed this is scientific? This is just a quick contemplation. Neither have I claimed science is bad for doing this, Its just what it does, any scientist would agree that they are defenders of rationality. Try to see more meta. Unless youre making a meta-joke.
  17. This is my Shadow routine I did 2 years ago. 1.Write a list of personal traits. 2.Go down the list and find the ones that •You feel you are not and/or... •Have a tension about them and/or... •Would trigger you if someone called you out on For example "Why are you so angry?" If that triggers you then thats a part of your shadow. 3.Go through memories of moments in your life where you have been angry (Be radically honest!) 4.Write atleast 5 positive things about being angry 5.Let yourself fully be angry and be okay with it, if you have to scream then do it, if you feel angry while doing the exercise thats good! 6.Do this with all the traits you have found, there will be atleast 10-15 traits you have repressed. 7.Do one trait a day so it settles in your psyche, dont do more than one a day! Important! This is emotionally taxing, you dont want to burn yourself out. 8.Love yourself and accept this trait, see and feel how it makes you a more complete person. I learned this from Dark Side Of The Light Chasers by Debbie Ford and put my own spin on it.
