  1. Browsing the forum the other day I saw Leo say something like "only a fool wouldn't write down an insight" (paraphrasing). The idea being that if an insight is good and worthwhile, you'd be an idiot to just rely on your mind to remember it. A.k.a just make sure you write it down.

    Over the past few weeks I've made sure I've written down the insights I've had about life even at the most inconvenient of times- waking up at 2am to take a piss, or 6am when my child woke up crying. Every time- even when it's inconvenient I've been making sure to write that insight down. It's been very helpful.

    I encourage you all to not trust your brain to remember things, but remind yourself that there's only so much your mind can remember at one time. Write that shit down.

    One bong hit.

    Weed hits me harder than 5-MeO-DMT. Don't ask me why.

    This sort of validates my feelings that I've had a lot of enlightenment experiences with weed but i'm not ready to try anything stronger cause, I've always felt like Weed was potent enough to let me see reality as it is.


  3. All you people calling Leo racist here are nuts. I love diversity and think it's a net positive for most societies in general, by I too- don't want to live in an ethnic enclave. In Sydney, Australia there are quite a few suburbs that are 90% middle eastern and while I hope these people get access to good healthcare, good schools for their kids etc. YOU would be the one out of place living there.

    There are cultural anomalies that are weird as fuck like people walking around shouting at each other when just talking, the air smells like spices from their countries (coming from the restaurants and shops), and there's almost no english signage anywhere. I've got no hate against these people but I would not choose to live alongside them, purely for my own comfort. If it was a regular neighbourhood with only 10% of these ethnicities that's completely fine and wouldn't give me that weirded out feeling of being in another country within my own home country.


  4. I used to be passionate about my business that I've created, but in the last year I've had so many moments when I felt like I need to move on and do something else with my life. However, I've just had a nice short break and had that feeling of enjoying work again. 

    I think the Covid lockdowns and sudden societal instability messed with my mental health and now I'm unsure if I actually dislike my work or if I like my work but am depressed. 

    I was just wondering what other thoughts you other forum members may have?

    Green tends to overcorrect on racism. Green is motivated to correct inequality, which ironically requires treating people unequaly.

    Handicapped people get special treatment. Is this right or wrong? Who is to say how much special treatment is too much? What if we gave every handicapped person a helicopter, would that be fair or unfair? Who gets to say?

    I do feel bad for handicapped people though when I see a newly designed suburb and the sidewalks are not suitable for them. I think of the elderly, and all those in wheelchairs. I think being more woke about this issue won't do anything but good to society

    There is a sort of ethical problem with this approach which I never hear anyone talk about. By leeching the most wealthy, ambitious, and educated people from 3rd world countries we are dooming those countries to remain mired in low development. It's very problematic for many countries when their best people fly off to the US or Europe.

    Brain drain. Even in Australia which is a 1st world country obviously, our best and brightest will zoom off to the US or UK in search of higher pay and better jobs. 


  7. You should do an investigation of school curriculum. I've noticed a lot of teachers in schools are actually stage green (especially public schools) and actually teach somewhat stage green curriculums. This is especially true in Canada, Australia, I'm guessing California. It's an interesting observation for sure, kinda makes things seem less bleak. However you do get a hell of a lot of backlash from idiotic parents in places like Florida who think it's wrong for a teacher to talk about being LGBT or that teaching tolerance is CRT or whatever.

    Putin's invasion is wrong, relatively speaking.

    I am not taking a neutral position. I am just trying to get you to see his perspective. Seeing his perspective does not make invading Ukraine a good move. It's probably not even a good move for Putin. I think he is overreaching on this one, and yes, Ukraine deserves assistance.

    With this move Putin has made himself into the bad guy. If he hadn't made this move his position would have been much more understandable and defensible.

    Your metaphor of Putin having a gun up to his head if Ukraine were to join NATO was very easy to understand. 

    Let's just hope the rest of the world does not get too destablized (i.e. China deciding to take Taiwan) or nuclear war.
