Espaim replied to Danioover9000's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
At university I am around so much stage green extremists I just gave up discussing whenever they start talking about any political issue, despite being a leftist myself. Open-mindedness is preached everywhere but it's hard to find someone who isn't blind by ideological rage. They have open "debates" but any slightly different ideas that go against their values are heavily repressed, ironically. I do empathize with them though -

You can understand the mind alone. No need to study for years in an university to do that. If you plan to work in a psychology related field, then do it. Ps: I'm a psychology undergrad. -
I was very into leftist movements and causes and even went to some protests between ages of 18 to 21. This was during university. I'm still at university, but I'm questioning the effectiveness of those actions. I volunteered at some green organizations but they don't seem to have a great impact in the big picture imo. There's lots of pointless, anger-filled discussion, left extremism and loose and poorly-planned actions in my POV. They are not pointed at the core issue but go tangential to the actual (systemic) problems that could be addressed. I can understand and empathize with the pov of those people though. So, that being said, what is your approach to these topics? I admit I haven't studied enough to have a nuanced opinion yet, but I plan to do that.

Leo is the most committed person to truth I've met anywhere really. But remember he was built on the shoulders of giants. A great part of the wisdom he is sharing has already been existing for thousands of years. He is a genius at compiling it all. Let's give him the credit but no idolization, please. -
I talk with lots of people of different backgrounds at university, being an extrovert myself. I'm noticing the patterns. It's pretty obvious that some courses (humanities) skew green and constantly criticize the STEM part of the university. And vice versa. It's like an ideological war and I watch the conflicting values, understanding that they don't understand each other and are trying to impose their own values on other people. The humanities part criticize the STEM for pursuing money, success and ignoring politics too much, and the STEM part criticizes the other side because they are kinda inefficient, due to discussing too much and going tangencially, discussing feelings and placing too much emphasis on consensus even if that's not the best course of action to achieve a goal. I can see the partiality in both perspectives but I had some backlash when trying to point it out. I'm misunderstood by both types. As a tangent, Blue isn't very present in university but it helped with my family relations, as now I can get along with my family and older blue people really easy now that I know they couldn't be any other way due to their upbringing and etc. Right now I don't know how to deliver what I can see but I hope I will learn how to do it. Or not, really. Maybe I shouldn't do anything and just focus on my vision. I'm just showing my appreciation for this model. I've been studying it for years alongside with other models. It's awesome to be able to understand everyone's values and be non-judgmental(for the most part) even if i don't agree with them. Awesome ??

Situations like these are rare. I treat people kindly mostly and act non-judgmental, but I'm not a doormat. More like assertiveness. I am rarely passive-aggressive. I have had several times were I told people right away I didn't like what happened and try to solve it as fast as possible so both parties don't hold grudges. I also read the non-violent communication book and it's on the back of my mind to solve these kinds of situations. Nevertheless, experience is king. On the internet I couldn't care less though. Too many toxic people to bother with wasting energy to be kind so I just ignore or block them. No personal attacks
-
Sorry. I didn't get the meaning of what you asked. Are you asking if I get triggered easily? Offended often? If I have anger towards "enemies" and "evil"? I'm emotionally stable most of the time. And I had several people tell me I'm very calm and patient.
-
Ok. Gonna keep that in mind
-
The first time it happened it bothered me cause I was heavily moralized by Green people, but now I'm fine with it. Looking back, it was funny cause they didn't know exactly what to criticize(cause I already integrated many Green values). As I said, I understand why they do it, so now I just shrug it off.

How deep are you into your university course? I quit 1 year into Mechanical Engineering and went to Psychology cause I knew I would be miserable as an Engineer. I thought deeply about my future and I would probably out myself cause the work would bring me too little joy. If your major doesn't help you to advance in your life purpose, yes , It would be better to quit. And I do have lots of ideas I could implement in this domain of work. You don't have a life purpose yet? What the hell are you doing then? Find it. You don't have infinite time in the relative domain. Time to start thinking about this. It being "interesting" isn't enough. It has to be interesting but also have demand and contribute a great deal to society. If you have a novel, ground-breaking idea in your field maybe it'll work. Otherwise you're wasting your time. That being said, you have to have a backup plan. You can't just outright quit and do nothing all day. Are you going to be an entrepreneur or what? Do you have any practical skills? I'm just offering some tough love here. Don't take it personally; I've gone through a phase like yours some time ago.

Depersonalization or maybe schizophrenia -
Hey buddy! I hope you're having a nice day @Thewritersunion Do you mean it would be good to not get fixated on the models? To think whatever I want to, regardless of what tier it belongs in theory?

Lots of XXXP and one EXXJ Probably won't be successful but it will be fun

Better to do it sober... But hey, if you really want to do it, a LSD microdose from 5ug to 15ug works If you feel rumination is what is preventing you from acting social, N-acetylcysteine could help you too. And it's not a drug.

Very rarely. Only if I consume drugs that alter my state of consciousness significantly (outside of psychedelics). There's a level you can reach in spirituality where you see that you can't really die because you're not the body. That being said, I don't see what's the point of doing it. But I do have empathy and I can see that if I was suffering enough that would be an appealing idea.
-
I bought a 25 tabs batch of what I believed was 250ug each. It had lots of good reviews. I almost always took half a tab and it gave me the normal LSD experience. The day I took the whole tab I didn't even want to touch psychedelics anymore for years (already got over this lol). It took me several weeks/months to understand everything that happened during that trip. Better be safe than sorry and traumatize yourself; take half or 1/4.

If you think there is, there is. If you think you'll deal with low consciousness jerks who will try to fight you then it could be useful. For me personally it's useless really. I can't deny it is cool to watch though. If someone wanted to kill me they could do it ? . Only a bullet would be needed
-
No. This. Maybe do it on a microdose. Watch the 30 facets of awakening video.

Many e-books have built-in shortcuts to chapters - I have a 7 year old Kindle I still use to this day. I prefer to use e-books because: I can read any book I want, anywhere, without carrying like 1kg worth of books. It's possible to adjust the size/type of the font. On the other hand: it's very annoying to write notes. If I want to write down notes about a book, I'll need to actually have a paper by my side. Regarding using a tablet: e-ink readers don't put so much strain on my eyes as tablet/smartphones screens do. TBH it's just like a normal book.

What was happening before you were born? -

I have noticed something similar. People on different spiral/ego development stages react differently when I tell how many drugs I've tried (the answer is yes). And it's still shocking to some how I'm not addicted to any of them. And... I learned the hard way to never mention I've done any drug except alcohol to Stage Blue and below. But I think they intuitively know I'm not "pure" lol
