    Just a couple of interesting insights i got regarding my native language that I want to share with you guys.

    In our language the word "све" (sve) is translated to the world "all" in English.
    Found it quite interesting when I noticed how this word is the core of other words, and how this plays out.

    све (sve) -------------------------------- all
    свет - све-т (svet) ------------------- world
    свето - све-то (sveto)  --------------holy
    сведоk - све-доk (svedok)  --------witness
    светло - све-тло (svetlo)  ----------light
    тло (tlo) = ground/base > svetlo = light = ground of the all, base of the all.

    This also linked up to some English language insights for eg.

    light - used in - light as low weight, and as "light from a candle"

    -when does one become enlightened, or follows the path of the light, one becomes lighter. (got this from long ago, I assume almost everybody around here got this as well)

    -holy = wholey

    Maybe I am stretching it too far, but does a thread in this spirit have potential for a mega-thread @Leo Gura

    My understanding of feminism might be quite limited. But here it is.

    The way I see it, if it does not empower women to be what they want to be and allow them to be free to chose, regardless of what that may be, its no feminism to me.

    On the other hand the styles that tell women what to do, or even worse teach them victim-hood, those I find quite damaging. Sadly that is 90% of what I've seen around. At least in the west.

    If you have something short and specific to do, under few minutes, something that has proven to yield results. Than yea. If you use it strategically and wisely it can be useful. 

    But If you engage in scrolling or story clicking of any sort, you leave yourself open for mind hacking. The app is designed to keep you hooked for as long as possible. It wrecks your dopamine response and will make life all around less juicy, carrier, discipline, relationships, all of it. And no, you can not fight it and have control over it, you will fall for it. That is how it works.

    Proceed with caution mate. It is sticky stuff.

    That is fucking amazing! :D

    Now that's a proper strange loop!

    Keep searching for more examples.

    I want more strange loops! We need to have the biggest repository of strange loops on the planet here.


    Haha, yeah. My mind enjoyed this one in a painful way.

    Tried to figure out how was this technically made and ended up with loss of appetite and vomiting sensations ha.

    I am experimenting with these kinds of things, it is inevitable that I will create some myself at some point. I do 3D art and vfx. We'll see how will it turn out. :)


    These are also cool, not sure if strange loops, but it is borderland territory for sure. 100mcg less.

    It certainly can, depending on who is listening. But try to see it this way.

    Music teaches you to work with energy, both express, accept it, move it, see the limits and lessons from it.

    Imagine it this way. Lets take anger for an example, a common "negative" theme in red music. If you got angry lets say in some random daily situation, you would probably see it as something bad happening inside of you, something that should stop happening, or you might just unconsciously let it control you and rage around. You might not, but a teen will.

    When you listen to music containing anger, you let the feeling flow freely, you are fine with it, you observe it and accept it, you see that this is something happening to other people and you bound based on these feelings, by accepting this feeling it feels good. No one listens to any kind of music in order to feel plain bad, no matter how dark the music gets. There is a transformative element to it. When the show ends people either want more, or at least exit the show joyful and smiling.

    I have seen this to be quite true in 99% of the cases I've encountered, I am musician myself. One of the project I engage in is a stage red metal band.

    You may be in a dark place, seeing all the shit in the world, watching shitty news, living in shitty place, having violence around you, these things can brake you and turn you into a lost cause. Music seems to feed into it, but it does not. It can appear to be that way in the beginning, but as you listen to it you'll get better.

    It can be the spark of light in your world of darkness and as you fall, you'll descend towards the light.
    I know 2 people that almost committed suicide, it was the darkest of music that stopped them and helped them keep it together. They listened to it for like half a day, every day.

    its free... shadow work.


    Also here are two neat quotes: :)

    No tree is said to reach up to heaven unless its roots reach all the way to hell.
    The amount of light one can create is proportionate to the darkness one is willing to confront.

    Exactly! That was my intention: it’s the epitome of unhealthy stage orange. Now that I think about it it should have been posted in the stage orange mega thread. ;)

    Yeah, I can understand them though, I was almost baited into this kind of stuff when I was blazing trough orange. This debunker stuff is so ..... sticky.
