@bazera I think you're perhaps brainwashed if you think that spiritual pursuits is worth more than having children. What exactly are you looking to find through it?
Perhaps take a large dose of a psychedelic and reflect on it, once you see the truth it's not so much a quest that you're on more a journey to align your life to it. If you genuinely don't want children and it doesn't appeal to you that's one thing but if you think you're going towards the more valuable path by forgoing it to meditate in your basement, respectfully that's idiotic.
I just turned 30 as well last summer but personally I've wanted children for a long time. It's moreso about building my business and dating life so that it doesn't become a trap for me to fall into. I see it as incredibly fulfilling in terms of building a tribe and teaching the next generation in a way that's more lasting than just having conversations with friends. I'm also incredibly into women so I'm very excited to mix my genes with the ones I like most and for us to embark on this journey together and build our own multi century dynasty as it also seems that humanity is soon going to explore the cosmos and break the barriers of biological immortality.
I look forward to a big banquet with hundreds of my kids and grand descendants in 500 years.
The problem with thinking spirituality is more important than children is you're already infinite bro, what are you looking to find out before you actually build your dream life?

The point of life is to enjoy whatever you enjoy doing, wheter you enjoy having an impact on humanity or not is irrelevant. Do whatever you enjoy doing is what matters. Some people want a lot of money and status and thats okay, but others do not. No one option is superior than the other because Death exist. Whatever your impact is it wont persist because everything changes, so dont kid yourself thinking youre too important or more important than others because you choose to be a CEO or something.
Do whatever you enjoy. Life is a play, nothing is really important as people tell you.
Sounds delusional and nihilistic to me. If you choose to avoid responsibility that's on you but I'd argue it's not morally justifiable and makes you a lesser being.

MDMA doesn't do this as good as mushrooms or LSD.
The point of the substances is to raise your state of consciousness so there's no reason at all to take MDMA which damages serotonin receptors in the brain.
We want the growth not damage.
Where is your source for MDMA damaging serotonin receptors in the brain? It just got approved by the FDA for PTSD treatment, I don't think anything like what you claim has been decisively proven. Research it for yourselves though before consuming.

It's one of the better episodes IMO, was one of my first actualized.org episodes. I find a lot of people lack strategic thinking and strategy is one of the most important aspects of life. Your life would be destroyed and you would be enslaved pretty quickly if the leaders of the nation you're living in right now were not strategic.
I will rewatch it actually.

I think beauty and aesthetics are an important aspect of life. Both genders have more to offer than their looks and need to bring more then that to be a high quality partner(especially men) but it's definitely important.
If you're a man then status, networking and wealth will do infinitely more for you than being good looking. I've tried myself and I'm a pretty good looking guy and it helps to get attraction but I hit a major roadblock. Was way more successful in dating when I was living with a club promoter and being in a social circle that had a culture of casual sex.

I'm highly introverted and care a lot about status and money. A lot less recently these past few months as I've been using generative AI to do some worldbuilding and create my own anime/video game. I now realized I can create an alternative to the real world if need be or even more beautiful is create mix that enhances both. Really looking forward to creating my own cryptocurrency and blockchain so that my fantasy characters in my world actually interact with our own world. I believe the first provable parallel universes will come from VR/crypto.
I don't get why most people are not more obsessed with status and wealth. It's obviously not the whole picture and you need to do it from a state of development but most of the issues of scarcity that you have in life are due to your lack of status and wealth. The whole reason leftists/liberals dislike the state of the US government is because they're not powerful enough to change it, don't have enough resources to have a deeper impact and don't have the status to influence important people.
How can anyone credibly argue that status and wealth are not some of the top values to have? I know the importance of truth and love being on top of those but if anybody doesn't have those in their top 10 they're bound to have not that much impact on their own life let alone have NO impact at all whatsoever to their greater city and country and our civilization.
Why choose to not be able to have an impact?

23 hours ago, CosmicTrekker said:However, in the case of Taiwan, the only reason that it sustains continued existence as a separate political entity from the rest of China is purely due to the political machinations of the west. It is not for the protection of a politicallyl proclaimed democratic ideal, but rather a mechanism to maintain western self-interests.
Only 5-15% of Taiwanese report wanting unification with China, where are you getting the idea that the west is the force keeping Taiwan sovereign?

It's because it implicates much further than just the american political elite.
A lot of European politicians and nobility were involved.

Never been to thailand but I do find femboys attractive. Planning on going to anime conventions to game and meet some there this year.
-
You're welcome. Well if you'd like feel free to share your life purpose and we can explore how deploying more money towards it would or wouldn't help actualize it faster or more powerfully.
-
@Joshe Way better ways to gain structure and discipline than to sell yourself to a corrupt authoritarian organization.
@machinegun How deeply have you worked on the principles on this forum in terms of introspection and meditation? Have you taken psychedelics? What about specifically 5-meo-DMT and something like(not a psychedelic) MDMA?
Sounds like you need a mystical experience to make you experience some divine love to set you on the right path. Or in less woo woo terms you need a fucking W my guy otherwise life is just draining and depressing I agree. How is your life purpose doing not some vague bs like helping people but if you were a genie that could manifest your perfect exact dream life, how close are you in % to achieving in today and what's stopping you?

10 hours ago, Joseph Maynor said:I seriously only think about money when I feel like I don't have enough. Otherwise money never crosses my mind. I have no desire to live extravagantly. In fact, I probably could pare down my life and reduce my expenses even more than I do.
Then your life purpose is weak IMO. You need money to achieve scale and efficiency.
You're not too interested in helping solve the problems of the world?

Talks about a quiet civil war brewing
-
Yeah I think it's important for us to talk about and think about these events as they happen as it's basically applied spirituality and epistemology.
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”
The Iran situation is hard to keep track of with the internet blackout but I hope they stay safe and unite for a better future.

trade war against Canada now

Yeah I agree, there is a reason these guys don't wear body cams. They hate accountability and responsibility. Truth will expose them.
The foundation of western society is rule of law and the legal system and their abuse of it has to be thoroughly documented.
The agent that killed Alex Pretti yesterday is not yet identified but the last one that killed Renee Good is Jonathan Ross. Shame.
-
@Basman When you put it like that I agree with you, humans should be more in touch with their survival and also help other nearbys and create strong intentional communities.
Really sad that people end up homeless in modern cities.
-
I don't think I have an addiction though because I've quit it before intentionally for productivity periods. I did 75 days last year of no fap, no alcohol and no weed and wasn't particularly hard. Afterwards I started again because I didn't notice that much of a difference and just wanted to test my willpower mostly. I'm not convinced my life would be better off if I quit smoking entirely but there are a few subtle things that do bother me like compulsive behaviour for one I don't like the feeling of anxiety I get when I run out of weed it proves my weakness.

1 hour ago, Basman said:That's just the economic reality of it currently and a bit besides the point. Being able to afford your own house is a luxury. It's a cultural expectancy based on post-war economics that made it normative to buy your own home. The more time passes, the further we move away from the economic golden age of the boomers. You expect and value independence maximally like it's a given. There's a good chance that's your culture speaking.
Just try to consider the benefits for second. A lot of our social problems are due to a lack of social connections.
I don't understand your point and who it's speaking to. You're saying if you can't afford to move out good and take it as an opportunity for community building? I mean sure but also work on a business and empower yourself economically so you're not codependent and lacking independence.
-
I think communist ideals will be applied through AI ubi and post scarcity. Past movements were corrupted by survival, scarcity and authoritarianism.
-
I agree with @aurum that it's more reminiscent of codependency rather than powerful interdependency.
It's important for young people to have the independence and sovereignty to be able to survive in the world without the help of their parents and family. They should still hold ties with their community but in a voluntary fashion not because the global economy is collapsing for middle class and lower class folks.

He will be powerless to do so if powerful democratic leaders with strong anticorruption bias and a stage yellow consciousness arise as I believe will be the case.
In other news the US might be heading towards another government shutdown due to this:

I agree with you. I think we are headed towards the unification of the global order into a world federation that goes beyond national interest into global interest. The current crisis of international law regarding the situations in Ukraine, Gaza and Venezuela foreshadow this as well as the rise of a new possible robotic military peacekeeping force under the control of the United Nations.
There is a movement advocating for this called World federalism.

I think it'll be very important for the democratic party to unite in the midterms and propose new effective action to oppose Magaland

@Alexop Philosophy is not a job. It's a process. Synthesizing all your findings into products and services that can help people consistently(standardization) is a job and ultimately a business.
Plenty of brilliant people that think about stuff all day long but can't anybody else with it. You can call them philosophers or delusional, up to you.
