@StateOfMind nope. It's embeded in the human nature. Check out Maslows hierarchy of needs and contemplate how it reflects your life. If you observe your actual experience without distractions, it's literally this way. You sh1t, eat, drink, breathe. You strive for a home, some friends, some sexual intimacy, a career, a meaning in life, then creative expression, contribution and self actualization and possibly self-transcendence. You can use this model to ground you every time you feel you are disconnected from the process of developing yourself, as in " okay, what is the most " urgent " thing to be working at for my precise situation and circumstances at life? Ofc every life is nuanced and different, but there is an overarching similarity in the psychology of human being's needs. And if you don't belive me, test it for yourself. Stop doing everything. stop going to school, stop going to work, stop working out, stop reading, stop eating healthy. The fact is that you will still be alive, and breathing. And boredoom will kick in, and you will get drawn towards certain activities, in a certain order / priority. See how you evolve over the years back climbing Maslow's Pyramid. Edit : it would be also usefull if you explained yourself better when asking such questions

@Average Investor yup same here. I'm amazed that peanut butter, flax seeds, sesame seeds / tahini, egg whites and BRAZIL NUTS make me bloat, swell my throat make my stomach hurt and give me brain fog. And I've been eating these for years without noticing before.

i was scared of scrolling down thought it was ricardo

nice narrative and self fulfilling prophecy, gotta try that one out

@Captain_Diabetes everything depends of WHY are doing it, as with everything. Are you running away from feeling conditioned and judged by your current location? Sometimes moving may fix the issue. Others, it sticks with you untill your inner game is handled. Wherever you go, there you are. Are you filling the void inside, distracting yourself from emptiness by getting stimulated and occupied going from here to there? Are you getting away from a toxic environment? Are you wasting your resources? Are you doing it to flex on social media? Ofc there are many positives that you can think of yourself

This hits so different now LOL

Last time he went missing covid happened. This time he goes missing and we got a borderline civil war in America. Coincidence? DONT THINK SO.

I think conspiracy theories also have a lot to do with the need to make sense of the world. Just in the same way cavemen may have thought of thunders as god's fury for disrespecting mother earth. As a way of reducing fear , having a feeling of security and sense of familiarity over what is going on. Thinking you know something kind of blocks you of thinking more about it, right? It would be a very fundamental need in Maslow's hierarchy, at the same level as physical safety, shelter and so on.

I think if inmortality was a thing, these people would come up with the most thrilling screenplays with the best and most unexpected plot twists ever. Damn. Also, people don't want the truth. They want to be right. Or feel they know the truth, or feel they are right.

Teenage boys very often show huge ammounts of toxic primitive masculinity. Theft, bullying, fights , throwing rocks, torturing animals, etc.

SO this is still going on. Thoughts? https://www.saveurope.eu/

Good argument, haven't thought about that one . Ultimately you could, but we are selfish and extremely biased towards our own species. Cannibalism has been practiced throughout all of history, specially during famines and wars. Definately I wouldn't do it if there is plenty of other food to choose from. It would feel wrong, bring up emotions and there is extreme social pressure against cannibalism. And I don't think any other healthy human being would commit cannibalism if he had other food to choose from. Slaying and torturing animals just to eat them would feel wrong to any non-sociopathic people who are ACTUALLY INVOLVED in the process by being there, seeing it and experiencing it . But when you are disconected from how the sausage is made, when you have it that cheap and that convenient, when you have been raised in an environment where animal meat has been eaten for your whole life , then it's way easier to put no thought into the whole process. The animal meat industry is definately cruel, low consciousness, extremely profit oriented and borderline inhumane. But it's also true that there is a market demand for it , that humans have been eating animal meat for their entire history, and that feelings / morality aside, it is nutritious and delicious. It's also true that by you yourself abstaining yourself from animal products and not supporting the slaughter industry, you will not make the rest of life forms stop eating eachother. Definately not in your lifetime . What I mean is that, If humans don't eat the already dead animal, then scavanger animals will, or works, and bacteria and fungi. What I envision as a sustainable animal industry in the very far future would be huge farms that let the animals live their ENTIRE LIFE in optimal conditions, and later it's okay to be eaten since death is an inevitable part of life. If they weren't eaten by humans, they would be eaten by other animals, worms, fungi, etc.

@Hero in progress hmm. Is it okay to eat an animal if it died of natural causes? like age, for example

Sooo... Why was " Storming the capitol " so different from what happened with " Storm area 51?

@Leo Gura what's the very root cause of what's going on with the radicalized people? would you say it's ideology, dense ego, lack of purpose in life and low levels of consciousness?
