    @Frosty97 It's partly right, if you look at the other side of the coin, it will look different.

    Insights are alright, but if you don't try to counterbalance them, they will turn and grow into ideological stories that will end up making a lot of sense to you. In that case, half a rotten apple will amount to a rotten apple, despite there being truth in the whole thing.

    Let's say, in the brutal face of survival, both men and women held together the best they could, collaborating together the best way they knew. Women and children were spared in most sieges and they were protected by the defenders and even left alone by the besiegers. Some powerful leaders were more oppressive, but some focused on building a better society, one that everyone can benefit from. In certain societies, like the "vikings", women enjoyed more rights and freedoms. You can go with this narrative all day long too, bringing endless examples, but it would also be wrong.

    As much as I understand it, what makes people good at teaching is having their blast animal in a balanced position.

    For some that do not know. Blast is the introverted perceiver function (organizing information) working in a loop with the extroverted judger (bringing it to the tribe). The loop happens regardless of the order of the functions. All types have a blast loop since all types have Oi and De, but its mostly the position of the extraverted judging function that influences teaching,

    The worst spot to have Fe, or Te in regard to teaching would be to have them as the first or last function. On those spots, they are the most neurotic and unbalanced. It means that those people will communicate with other people in a more unbalanced manner. There can also be a love/hate relationship with the self/tribe, can say personal things and is more likely to take things personally. The ExxJs will over-blast since they got Fe/Te as their first and Si/Ni as their second, which can look like watching 5 min video and talking 1 hour about it, vs the IxxPs consume first, blast last, which can look like, I need to gather a lot of information before I can start talking to the tribe about it.

    This is less the case with IxxJs and ExxPs, since they got their Te/Fe in the middle, which is less serious and more playful. It doesn't really take the tribe or self seriously. Their main neuroticism there is order vs chaos and it is more "things" related than " people" related. The you/me, teach-listen talk is more fluid and playful. They are also less hesitant and better in bringing the information to the tribe. In the case of IxxJs it would be more structured, like an idea tower and in the case of ExxPs it would be more like a pile of ideas. Ni/Si, vs Ne/Se on the first spot.

    An interesting watch xD

    So would you rather your family members be raped every day then in front of you? Intruder taking turns raping you and then your grandma and then your little kid for the rest of your life? Or would you rather die fighting trying to defend your family? 

    Well if this were the case, it means diplomacy failed, which certainly was an option. If there are no further options for negotiating and the situation is as you describe it, then I would ofc fight. It's still hard to say because extraordinary events will change you in extraordinary ways, including your behavior, so that is my best bet.

    But make no mistake. I would still take responsibility for my part in it. The intruder didn't just come in and start raping out of the blue and certainly didn't come here without a reason or history. It's not some street hobo that randomly jumped in and started doing evil deeds. But a neighbor with whom you had long relations. Maybe you even lived in the same house. There were many attempts at diplomacy before and during the war, especially at the start of the war. Maybe you had the agency to not allow the situation to get that bad, but you failed. Maybe you are in the situation that you are in because you were misled by the very ones offering what they strategically call help.

    To me, Russia, Ukraine, and the west are sitting at the same table of responsibility. Blame and vendetta are only possible when you are not taking responsibility.

    So if a murderer gets into your house and you ask for help we should all just refuse to give you help because providing help will just “prolong the conflict”?

    Even if one family member died in such a situation, I would rather do whatever will keep the rest alive and the house intact. So if I want help it would be for that end. 

    If help means, the local gun dealer comes to aid and the intruder is dead, but also my family and my house is wrecked then that is not help in my book.  It's like a teenager beating up a small kid with a stick and you give the child a knife and you call it help. You will probably not, but that is the language the local arms dealer might use. It's devilry at its finest.

    @StarStruck @no_name C'mon guys, no need to talk that way. Remember the forum rule " Treat this forum like a temple" Where did that go?

    Or .... I am misunderstanding and you have some chemistry going on there.

    @The Mystical Man  Even among metalheads, it's quite rare to find someone that likes this type of metal. It's quite niche.

    Anyway, this is the place I go to when I want to be carried by the unyielding ocean (sound) waves and inevitably end up hitting the ocean floor, consumed by wrath. It's more like a theatrical and perspectival thing for me than music. That's my way of moby-dicking around :P

    Still, I find the book quite attractive for the very same language/literature reasons. I went through Milton's paradise lost and some of Edgar Poe's work a few years ago, it was quite a blast in that regard.

    Pretty intense stuff man. Has that Norwegian BM vibe all over the place xD

    Here is something in the same spirit:


    Recently I've been into folkish stuff. I quite like the bodily and dancy part of it. Gets my energy high and moving throughout the day. I almost feel like I am on a microdose. xD

    Spirituality is NOT scary. It is a joyful, fun, relieving discovery, not terrifying. If you feel like shit about the so-called 'spirituality', you've been led astray.

    To get and/or grapple with some insights, you literally need to go insane. It is quite uncomfortable for the mind.

    But if you are grounded and skilled in this kind of work and have generally made a better life for yourself and the ones around you, then it would be easier for you to handle it. That is how I understand it.

    Leo himself had said on multiple occasions that his work is about inquiring about truth and getting and sharing insights. Which is not integration and certainly not about feeling pleasant, joyful, or comfortable.

    I am not denying that these might be some of the effects of this work, as u have already pointed out, they certainly are. But during the event and sometime after it, you are bound to be at least a bit psychologically unstable.

    Well, since I've been practicing OBEs I can easily turn off my senses and get past them.

    When I am sober, this whole process lasts for 10-40 minutes. But if I am quite high, I close my eyes and do nothing, it happens automatically in less than 10 seconds. I forget the room, the position I am in, that I have limbs and a body. The result is usually a strong sudden body jerk as my mind automatically panics and tries to remember the body.

    Anyway, I get the heartbeat thing to some degree. It's usually the very same thing that prevents me from making an OBE exit. I can easily forget about it while in my buildup stage, but I tend to get both excited and afraid when an exit is about to happen, so my heart rate goes way up and I feel my heart beating strong and loud, it takes my attention, ruins the state, and re-grounds me here.

    So, does this mean that your take falls more in line with what Destiny's position in regards to the algorithm shadow banning certain content creators based on words used and views expressed? Because I get the feeling that Destiny while debating this guy from counterpoints complaining of getting conservative views shadow banned by social media, for instance in this case twitter, doesn't want to appear to agree with the guy by writing off his position, but how he justifies his own position about shadow banning is that it doesn't happen at all, and seems to want to say it's more the fault of how these conservatives market and promote themselves.

    Last year a friend of mine got banned from FB for racism and similar accusations and had to write a letter to get unbanned. Just posting this song.
     


    Nothing racist or nazi in it. But it's the maker of this music that is nazi. It looks to me that FB made the algorithm ban anything connected to this guy. If it can happen with plain art, a song about the night. I assume it can be pretty much be the same case for conservative political posts or videos.

    So if I take my friend's example, it looks like you don't even need to say something wrong in a given piece of content in order to be ban worthy.
