Well. Do the work you love for the sake of that work. For its own sake and the satisfaction you get from it. If you have that you already have more than most people. It really is a great joy to be creative and passionate about anything. And if you really love that work enough it should be enough motivation to position yourself to make a living off of it. You have to figure out how yourself. Maybe start working part-time and then on your Life Purpose on the side at first.

When Trump is not low-consciousness enough for the crowd: Pretty funny but also very sad. So many rotten minds who won't take the vaccine Edit: Actually Trump might be afraid of losing supporters if they all die from Covid lol

@Leo Gura What do you mean by Togetherness? That the Oneness includes all seperate things?

This conversation reminds me of this: It's an interesting video

Start with some discipline. Read at least 10 pages a day. Or 25. Whatever minimum amount you can manage. But yeah ideally you build an enjoyable reading habit

I used to like McDonalds as a kid. Now I literally cannot eat it lol. And it makes me gag

@Noahsteelers34 Maybe first spend some good time strategizing. How are you going to become financially independent from your parents and take care of yourself? How are you going to combine that with working on your skills and towards your LP? You could try living with your parents for a while (if they allow it) or move to a small dorm room or studio. You won't need a full-time job for that.

Hmmmm....

JP: "How does this information fit within my framework?"

Interesting old video on chaos and fractals:

Thinking about it gives me goosebumps...

Watch this. He lays out his entire epistemological foundation (from back in 2017, but it's still really good) Only thing I'd add as Principle 0 would be something like: "this framework itself is limited"

Very sad story. Appearantly Euthanasia is legal in Belgium and some other countries too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_euthanasia Psychiatrist from the docu: I think this really shows the need for radical changes in mental healthcare. We have no idea what we're doing...

Yes Euthanasia is legal here in the Netherlands. Idea from our "neo-liberal progressive" party D66(6) (whilst massively cutting and "americanizing" our healthcare industry) I guess in some very specific cases euthanasia is an acceptable option, if everything has been tried and the suffering becomes unbearable. But it's absurd they are euthanizing children now. That party is also pushing for "Voltooid Leven", meaning that if you're 75+ you can choose for euthanasia without needing to be sick or suffering. But again, whilst massively cutting elderly care while they're in power.

Red To Blue:

Who cares, every member state has a military already.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/22/football/allianz-arena-rainbow-colors-uefa-spt-intl/index.html Lighting the arena in rainbow colors was supposed to be a statement against Hungary's Stage Blue anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Now UEFA forbids this saying: UEFA is definitely a Stage Orange organization that doesn't value the well-being of minorities. But I guess we already knew this given the stadium in Qatar was built by slaves, a lot of whom are dead now.

We should be careful in our interpretations and conclusions. Let's first put the gun violence in Sweden in perspective: This is data from 2012 but I've see similar data for 2015 and beyond. Sweden doesn't seem to be doing that bad relative to the rest of the world. Especially the US. And then, is Stage Green goverment to blame for this? Sweden had a liberal-conservative PM from 2006-2014

Right. These people long for things like "simplicty" but don't necessarily see there's a trade-off. It's similar to some spiritualy-minded people wanting to "get rid of their minds."

Amen Life is a work of art

Interesting story: It's from the same guy who made the Samadhi movies some of you may know. I found this quite interesting but I do wonder how he could have possibly encountered these "beings" without any psychedelics. Unless he deliberately leaves that out.

Guess I'll join the discussion, lol. I've never been able to ejaculate too many times in a row but my ejaculation can last really long lol But after ejaculation is indeed a good time for contemplation. Usually my mind immediately jumps to deep thoughts after it happens without any effort.
