As an ex hardcore evangelical Christian, yes, they are idiots. But I don't know if it would be fair to say that they are just idiots. There are many lovely, lovely religious peeps. A lot of them have legitimately good intentions and at the end of the day...and it helps a lot of people. If the options are 1-Being a homeless drug addicts, and 2- Going to church to gain a sense of higher purpose. Then you know the obvious choice. When someone's at that level, more rudimentary spiritual frameworks usually helps them the best (it's associated with order, stability, structure, morality, health, etc.). There are many cool religious people. So are they idiots? Yes. But they're lovely idiots, just don't get too involved with them (they can be a bit unpredictable and dangerous). Of late, I'm trying harder to avoid terms like idiots, morons, dumbasses etc. these are very judgemental terms. Perhaps a better term could be...dangerous rudimentary spiritualists.?

This shit is next level

As far as my studies have concluded the most pertinent risk with psychedelics is the fact that you don't really need much experience to use them I mean people use them to party as well. So what you end up with is a notable percentage of the demographic of psychedelic users that are just young naive or otherwise stupid people who don't know what they're doing and who may be taken massive dose or maybe they're not using their psychedelics in an intelligent way. While they won't kill a person in and of themselves they can cause serious psychological trauma if used incorrectly. Unlike other tasks and activities (like flying a plane or conducting brain surgery) you are not required to provide any evidence or answer to anybody to prove that you are going to do the activity (in this instance, psychedelics) in a safe and controlled way or that you are adequately educated or actually capable of doing it in a way that you're not going to harm yourself or others. Using psychedelics has no safety net like this kind of thing. I myself know that I did myself a degree of damage with overusing dmt and taking doses that were just way too high for my current level of development. Although saying this, I also recognise that they gave me a s*** ton of strength which was arguably required for me to have enough consciousness to get a massive breakthrough and essentially secure the safety of my entire life. So I guess it's a double edged sword. One way or another you can't just banned a powerful and useful technology just because it has the potential for causing damage.

NI - UK 0/10 Im actually glad my country is 0/10, if it were something like 3/10 it would make the decision to leave more clouded and harder.

He's still promoting misogyny, advertently or inadvertently. 👎🏼

Progress update, ive been eating chicken thighs, broccoli, cauliflower, boiled eggs and ***red lentils*** and ive lost 1st 4lbs in like a month. Super happy, actually shocked at how easy it is when you just get the super effective magic pill and exploit it. For me the magic pill is red lentils, i eat a cup of them every day for breakfast, 1 chicken thigh , a couple eggs, a protein shake and some vegies and the weight is dropping off me like a used condom. 1 cup of red lentils is like 230 kcals and it fills you for like 7 hours, especially when washed down with a diet whey meal replacement protein shake. >Guys, red lentils are the 5meo of weight loss< They're so easy to cook as well, you just cook a shit ton, freeze half of it and eat a cup a day, all the energy you could ever want.*

to me the purpose of life is very similar to the purpose of art...for example; ....to express, communicate, and evoke emotions and ideas, creating aesthetic experiences that reflect and influence culture and society, and ultimately enrich the human experience beyond mere utility. - Gemini

@Vercingetorix <3 although bro i think the focus should maybe be that you can absolutely attain the happiness when you let it go. way i see it, i only let something go so that it can flow freely in its cyclical pattern and come back to me. like im in the middle of a massive circle and it flows around and comes back through me, typically a with a lot more

I'm looking for some hardcore, insightful resources or channels that go into what to look out for when deciding whether to try and build a relationship with someone. Red/green flags and possibly even tests to identify whether a relationship with someone should be pursued... YouTube channels, websites, articles, coaches, guides etc. ----- I'd love to hear about the psychological aspects of what makes for a good relationship and how to judge whether to invest in people as potential partners. ----- Here is some of the research I've been able to formulate thus far: Key Psychological Aspects * Attachment Theory: Understand how your style (secure, anxious, avoidant) and theirs impacts the relationship. * Communication: Look for clear expression, active listening, empathy, and constructive conflict resolution. * Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Crucial for managing emotions and responding appropriately. * Shared Values: Essential for long-term compatibility. * Conflict Resolution: How disagreements are handled is vital. Look for a desire for understanding, not blame. * Respect & Empathy: Core for a strong bond. * Autonomy: Healthy relationships allow individual growth and shared connection. * Past Patterns: Clues to relational maturity. Top Resources * The Gottman Institute: Research-based; see "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" or gottman.com. * Sue Johnson (EFT): Focuses on secure emotional bonds; read "Hold Me Tight." * Brené Brown: Insightful on vulnerability, shame, and empathy for authentic connection. * Dr. Ramani Durvasula (YouTube): Identifies red flags and unhealthy dynamics. * HealthyGamerGG (Dr. K - YouTube): Practical insights on well-being and relationships. * Esther Perel (Podcasts): Nuanced discussions on modern relationships. * Books: "Attached" by Levine & Heller (Attachment Theory); "Crucial Conversations" (communication). How to Judge * Observe: Do actions match words? * Self-Reflect: Know your own needs and boundaries. * Intuition: Don't ignore your gut feelings. ------- So, that's the list so far, I'd love some high consciousness relationship teachers, gurus, guides and coaches. Feel free to share your favourite love doctors 🩷 Thanks in advance ✌🏼

I smell Christianity . Beware. The tao te Ching says is well: (48) The pursuit of knowledge is like adding to your daily store. The pursuit of the Tao is like subtracting from your daily store. Subtract and subtract until you reach non-action. By doing nothing, everything is done. The world is conquered by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning.
