You are exactly right, men and women do not have the same responsibilities, and particularly because that exact reason, both men and women are oppresed in different ways. War, normalization of violence and intense dehumanization towards males it´s a pretty good example of "oppresion" to a only a particular gender because of certain beliefs (or facts) that the gender has about. Obviously women suffer the same fate. That it´s worse or better I´m not going to argue. As I said being born a women has significant disadvantages in any era of history but so does being born a man. Is whether what perks and cons what you prefer. Only focusing in one gender and calling the people we talk about men´s right "anti-feminism" for me it´s not consciouss nor empathic towards the whole population. But again, I´m a male, i could be self-biased.

Im changing my diet and introducing a lot of bananas and avocados. Both of these have plenty of potassium. Could it be dangerous for my kidneys that I eat a lot of potassium daily?

Yeah avocados have way more pottasium than bananas you right. I mainly focused on those two because of the calorie intake, the rest of fruits I like to eat but not a lot since for me it just seems im eating water and sugar haha, with avocados I feel i am getting more energy/nutrient than just fructose+water

Sometimes it has more variables than just identity. Of course, deep down is all due to identity, but in the relative sense, things from conditioning to relieve of trauma or as a means to cure artificially your mental illness, for example, can be all explanations of why people keep being addicted to stuff. And obviously, there are some stuff more addictive than others, you can't really compare the amount of pleasurable neurotransmitters that gives a pipe of crack or meth, to playing games on the Internet. Is just a whole other beast of pleasure that the brain has to let go of

I did ketosis in the past (abstaining from carbs/sugars almost completely, with the exception of some vegetables) and I felt different. I wouldn´t say I felt "amazing" I would say I felt less anxious in particular, and a mix of sometimes being strangely tired with others having amazing energy. More or less being in ketosis it´s being like on fasting but with less intensity. However now I´m far from ketosis. I am trying a diet that I would call "frutariancarnivore". This consists of eating meat,eggs, vegetables and fruits. So anything like rice,pasta,oatmeal,bread...etc I abstain. Legumes too although I eat some hummus here and there. Well, the thing is even if I am eating plenty of fruit, so plenty of sugars, I am feeling more or less the same as I did in Ketosis. Again, I wouldn´t say the same, the intensity (the clear-headed and the tiredness) are less intense now as It was being on Ketosis, but still it´s pretty noticeable. I am finding myself craving a good bowl of oatmeal even though I haven´t restricted myself of glucose thanks to fruit. I´ll have to try more this diet to get more definitive conclusions, but it seems there is a common denominator between all of this approaches (fasting,ketosis, and my "frutariancarnivore " diet), all of them having the same results in clear-headed, anxiolitic properties and a mix of tiredness and energy, from the first being the most intense in this feeling (fasting) and the least (frutariancarnivore diet), the common denominator it´s abstaining from grains / slow absortion carbs.

@Corpus Yeah, I commented that too but it seems some people have some magic power to know how pure is their LSD. I can attest even LSD straight from the lab sources have been underdosed. Everybody thinks their dealer is the "shit" until they go analize it (but almost nobody does, because again, everybody thinks their dealer is the shit) and turns out it was heavely underdosed (like most street acid) LOL

Then what would you call it to the fact that in several countries only men are forced to go to war ? Colombia´s Example : https://www.ejercito.mil.co/servicio_ciudadano/preguntas_frecuentes/quienes_estan_obligacion_definir_334204_334204&c Another one and this is from your natal country ..Only men can legally be sentenced to life-setence in prison: http://www.russian-criminal-code.com/PartI/SectionIII/Chapter9.html See, there´s a couple example of a pretty nasty things (war, prison) in where men are "oppresed" and not women. But it´s also true that in this countries women are more oppresed than Europe´s or America society. It just goes both ways as far as how intense the Patriarchy status has any given country. Usually men are less priviliged in abstaining from pain and violence, and women are less priviliged in enjoying freedom and status. The Patriarchy has always fucked intensely both genders for the good life of the 1% (Royalty, or whatever social priviliged social ground was present depeding on the era) However, I still think that women have been more hurt and oppresed by the Patriarchy through all history than men. But that´s just because I value more freedom than pain or fear. Probably other people will value more safety than been forced to experience calamities and would have choose to be born a women in almost any era of human history. I completely agree in your previous post about society Both men and women are puppets of larger evolutionary forces which drive the entire universe towards greater consciousness and love. I just think we should give more shout out to men´s rights, not because women´s probably need more attention and women´s right are less, which I think, but because in this sense much of the anti-feminism men will start going more pro-feminist. You have to realize that much of the males nowdays which support feminist don´t do it from a consciouss perspective of giving less importance to their male ego and realizing that society is going towards the destruction of very defined indentities and boundaries, but rather because of being identified with leftist ideology and lacking fundamental awareness about some men´s inequalities through history and still present nowdays. If they did they probably wouldn´t be so supportive of some feminism. The same goes for a lot of women, they are pro-feminist due to their self-bias of being a women, and not because they are consciouss enough to realize how much of their "female identity" is a society construct and not their own nature.

I agree that Patriarchy is not a consciouss system. However a lot of males nowdays just go against feminist because they feel they are being accused of having been on the "priviliged" side. Nowdays I don´t that much anymore because I know that consicouss feminists are about making men and women equal in social society and not waste energy on hating men. Patriarchy has been a system for survival, hasn´t been fair? Of course not. Does it have to change? Yes. For example, If I had to choose in what gender should I be born let´s say 600 years ago, I wouldn´t be sure If I´d choose men or women. If I choose women I would be subjugated to my men´s rules and I would be considered inferior. I wouldn´t be able to have a free life and probably I wouldn´t even pursue much intellectual roads even if i would be motivated to do it. Probably i won´t be able even to read a book. However If i choose men, I wouldn´t have a easy life either: There´s no doubt women have been oppresed. What it´s a little bit lol it´s to give the impression that men have been "priviliged" by the Patriarchy. The "priviliged" men by the patriarchy has been the 1%. Royalty and whoever the 1% have been depending on the era of time. In the late 150 years this 1% have been exponentially growing but also have been the awareness for giving equal rights to women. The rest (99% of males) have been living in brutal poor conditions, with massive obligations of having and maintaning and family and of course, with the obligation to go to die and get tortured to death at war. It seems there is no feminist movement talks about this "privilege" what they talk about how the Patriarchy subjugated women through all history. Again, of course the Patriarchy subjugate women! I´m just saying Men were also pretty fucked by it! As I said, I don´t know how much people would choose 1000 years ago to be born women or men. It´s wheter you value your freedom (choose men) more and you are motivated to risk having a life with fear or pain and responsabilities (war and social pressure) or value more a safe life (women) and choose that before having freedom and you are motivated to risk not having freedom and considered inferior.

The six pilars of self-esteem, by Nathaniel Branden. I love how the book´s key concepts are grounded not on the author´s opinion or even research, but just in your own conscioussness therefore what you discover about yourself being actually real and not just believing perspectives or thoughts.

I´ve been studying the last year to pass an exam to work on the postal services jobs of my country. I started studying for this because by the time I was not focused and I didn´t know what to do with my life. I just knew I should get a job. But then I started self-actualizing and realized I want to get proffesional as a software developer to become an entrepreneur. Now I am scared if I pass I´ll have to work on low-consciouss job, any advice to survive it before I can get a work in the tech industry? I am aware that the tech industry it´s also a wage slavery job but that industry I am focusing to get a job (start-ups) is full of entrepreneurship so that way I will be able to progress in my path and meet people alike. Also I am scared of a physical labor job as a postal services could be,at least a tech job i know i will be sedentary it won´t be detrimental to my physical being.

Yeah shifting is a very accurate word in this case! I agree!

It´s a forum. It´s normal that people here we engage in mental masturbation because usually the real work is not done by theorizing or having discussions of "logical truth" because the work is done by doing the practices and in general just embodying what you discover into your daily(human)n life. However I do feel dissapointed when I´ve seen sometimes people giving long-profound-spiritual advice threads about how they are so consciouss and then you see a thread 2 months later of the same person asking for advice in a very basic emotional self-actualization problem like "I get nervous with girls omg i cant get a gf", or "my father judges me ah what do i do", that really does hurt the reputation of what they said previously about being "so consciouss". But Then again, I might also have fallen too into this. Well, not might. I had. I´ve written some profound insights and then probably I see myself stuck in basic self-actualizing ego problems. That tells me I might be going to conceptual and again bullshitting myself, but that´s just how the mind works. It´s not about judging it but rather realizing it that you can start breaking free of it and fall less into the trap.

Interesting question. Idk, although fruit have plenty of fibre too, i was having plenty of it. However fibre from food might be different than fibre from oats/bread/pasta/rice

Because it´s a shitty carb. It´s very low nutrient dense , and high glucose spiking. It usually part of a bad diet of binging into sugars and carbs constantly (due to the glucose spiking, and not being never full due to be so low nutrient dense). Basically i wouldn´t say is bad per se, it´s more of an indicator that if you have it your diet, your diet is shit.

I want to try carnivore diet so bad But so expensive! I want to get another better paid job so I can afford trying that diet !

Yeah...but the feeling I have in my stomach after I eat them I dispase it. However meat, fruit or vegetables I always feel my stomach allright. With oats I feel bloated and sometimes even some pain like there´s "constipation" being caused by this oats/carbs man.

I´m not doing it to be "cool" lol. Oats make me bloated. Bloated and feeling full prevents me from doing sports and yoga. When I had to fast only fruit due to constipation, I realized how good I felt with a light stomach. That´s why I am trying to have diet withouth grains/hard carbs. Also, oats or any kind of similar carbs haven´t got any unique nutrient that other food do not have. Basically their unique appeal it´s their calorie aportion.

@Serotoninluv Interesting. Never have thought it like that. I wonder then, when we are students in a classroom we "know" that we are students, but we don´t identify with being a student because if then we would feel inferior?

I guess I have no problems but I keep imaging them ?

I was walking back home by the river´s boardwalk, thinking about why I am like I am, and how some people are (or at least look) so different than I am, including not only looks or personality, but just the way of living. This kind of thoughts always give me frustration and despair, emotions like "injustice", "jeaolously" have been very present in my mind the last 5-10 years, slowly increasing the past years although also slowly trying to become skeptic of them in the last year. The Realization The realization came when seconds later I had the thought in form of insight (because it was a kind of a deep "feeling" more than a thought) that this "fact", the fact of being an specific person with an specific identity is absolutely impossible. To you to be an specific person with an specific limited in time identity and nothing else, it would be neccesary that you (be careful in what you point to when I say "you"), in any moment of your life, you defined yourself and chose to become this "person" in fact. This hasn´t never happened, if that´d happened awareness will no longer exist in your experience. I have never defined myself. How could I do it? How insane decision would that be? I am not a person living the dream of not being awareness. I am awareness living the dream that I am a person. I keep telling myself and assuming that I need to "get somewhere", or in some kind of "state of mind" to realize some existencial Truth...haha, no!! I am Truth, in other words, I am the one who never defined itself

Yeah it amazes me how I once I started seeing clearly that I wasn't above anybody else, I started seeing people interesting and most importantly I stopped comparing myself to anyone.

Yeap, that´s basically it. I first I thought I was just scared of big doses but soon I realized deep down what I feared it´s some secrets of my psyche been confronted very clearly withouth any barriers If I´d take a strong ego total dissolution dose... (which is, theorically, exactly the best, but psychologically speaking not so much, if you don´t want to risk the fact of getting traumatized and not do psychedelics ever again). It´s best to tread lightly. Also, experience matters. I don´t see normal/responsible (regarding mentally safe, not morally which I couldnt care less) OP doing 400mg the first time although I imagine those doses were the "advertised" but far from being accurate if it was street LSD @Justine I would suggest too OP get the dose way lower and set an introspective intention (and setting) for your trips if you want to reconcile with psychedelics.

I can subscribe to the story of your friend, I think I am more or less the same case but in a less serious case. I don´t think Leo it´s responsible for the attitude of your friend, but definetely I think you hit a lot of very good and accurate points in your post.

Recently I´ve become more in tuned to my lack of self-love. But also I started to skyrocket my self-love by being aware that I lacked a lot through all my life. So let´s say in Christmas you are supposed to visit your family (my father´s family in this case), any other year I wouldn´t hesitate to visit, but this year I am more in tune with emotions and I feel that I this family is some what toxic to me, I still want to keep contact but I want to set boundaries. This for example implies that tomorrow, in new year´s, If i listen to my heart and put myself first I shouldn´t visit my fathers family. However let´s say tomorrow I feel still a lot of pressure to visit, I feel my ego can´t take yet the pain/responsability of accepting their not approval of not visiting. In the case I still go visit them, If I want to keep self-love I should be aware and accept the fact I am going there not putting myself first. By that mechanism of being self-aware of my lack of self-love in that situation, I at least can learn something. What is not very wise to do, is to neither of these: -Put out an excuse to my father´s family so I can avoid fearing their not approval of me not visit them -Lie myself that I should visit them because family is important to be close together and this is not a case of lack of self-love.

@Cykaaaa Thanks And good luck to you too! I´m sure you will make it! @Nivsch Thanks I´ll check it out
