@Elham Riight... So would you say consciousness increases your interest in things generally? So you found something you see more meaning in? Or why do you say the other activities were just short-term satisfactory kind of activities?

That's some very motivational words there. I personally find myself getting attracted to so many different things and developing love for them that sometimes won't last. What do you think people like me should do in order to be more clear on what they want? Assuming that this sudden decision has been working out for you so far.

This literally applies to everything, in order to do something, you sacrifice something else, and making the wrong sacrifices and dedications can ruin your life. It's not like you are escaping that by being single. Fearing that somebody will use you can be the greatest predictor of that happening. If there is a better opportunity for them and you truly love them, why wouldn't you allow that? Also why not try to create that opportunity for others and yourself? So what is that thing that you do instead of relationships and having kids that fulfills you? Can you name one thing from your life now?

Sorry Preety I did not mean to advocate for arranged marriage, patriarchy or rape by mentioning that example of a Bangladeshi woman being ok with getting her husband chosen by her parents. I thought it would provide a different perspective.

Some really do. I know a girl from Bangladesh who got married at 19 to a guy her parents chose for her and she feels good about it actually. She is actually sad that her friends started to judge her after this happened. I guess it is not impossible for women to agree with patriarchy. But at the moment I don't think there is a country in this world without patriarchy and it can be very toxic, even though I sometimes have difficulties distinguishing between when it is women victimizing themselves too much and when it is an actual issue.

Finally, at least one person overcame their survival biases x)

Leo if you do not want to hurt your reputation on a bigger scale in the future, you might try to just tell one person about your idea. Or tell 10 people so that you have more feedback. Instead of posting something on the internet where thousands can see it. I know it would take more of your precious time, which I absolutely understand, but perhaps the reputation not lost would balance this out, although I am not sure if you value this highly. Basically I am trying to say that these lessons you have been learning recently can be learnt in an easier, less harmful way, if you only talk to people. I do not know how many people you socialize with regularly, online or offline, doesn't matter that much in this sense, but I imagine it can be hard to create content that you are satisfied with for an audience you only have online interaction with.

@meow_meow I often see people treating self-survival as some sort of superior epistemological argument, when it really isn't. Don't take your life too seriously man

@Travelion Probably like 1-2 days

Yeh most of us overlook the obvious x)

@Preety_India It is the most recent blog post.

Bad for them

@Shin Thank you for your contribution Shin, this video is such a life saver for psychonauts XDD

@Daneel Riding your bike to work is another story/role.

@lmfao I don't know if you still believe this ideology of like some 'server owner' or a 'clan leader' in a game being somehow superior, powerful, authority. Many of these people are in a seriously bad condition in life, they are addicted to drugs, having a hard family situation, mental illness etc... Just surround yourself with different people I guess, I don't think these people can be helped, people have tried...

@yiyinspired This is impressive for a new member, usually new members do not understand Nahm x)

That's really good progress, I mean, I know people in similar situation to you and it must be really tough to get out from there, amazing work!

@Daneel I mean you said you find it exhausting, but previously you mentioned that feeling like you can be natural felt amazing. So I thought maybe it is the acting that tires you, since you also said you can't stand acting. What are the reactions of your ego that you end up regretting?

I picked it up and I love it, I am just so confused after every scene It makes me self-reflect on what roles I play. Oh sorry, I did not know that about you, I hope I didn't sound ignorant. Reading this, I am not sure, whether you don't enjoy social interaction because you have autism or because you cannot be authentic in social interaction (having to develop acting skills). I am not trying to belittle your condition or anything like that and I kinda understand that if one perhaps did not develop any social skills at all, it might be very hard for them to make friends and do other social things (but I also think this applies to both people with and without autism), but I also want to say that even when people who do not have autism interact socially with people among whom they need to act in a certain way, it also is not enjoyable for them. Do you think people will judge you if you acted naturally? Do you believe you cannot act naturally? Let's frame the question a bit more, do you surround yourself with people who you (maybe justifiedly) believe that they would judge you if you acted naturally? Do you think there exist people who are not this way? (I suggest answering yes to this question if you answered yes to the other question) Sometimes people who have some rare condition become more sensitive and aware, I mean many people would simply judge that person with ADHD without thinking twice about it, but you do not do that. Don't you think that's perhaps an advantage? I mean sensitive and aware friends are scarce and in demand.

Have you ever tried improvisational theatre? It's funny how it sometimes happens that when you act in a scene with other people, at the end of the scene you might be kind of unsure whether you are still playing a character or not x)

Is there any proof that you are human?

There are unconscious people who talk about meaningless stuff even in the most conscious school and work environments. It is to be solved inside. But luckily you can actually choose your friends or talk to people not only from your college, there are more people behind the walls

That's a really interesting contemplation to do, thanks. How did you meet them?
