There's no disagreement. They impact the mind greatly. In positive and negative ways both. The negatives are short-term, the postives are long-term.
Psychedelics make the mind unstable. But that instability resolves long-term.
My mind is more stable today than ever.
Explained above.
Instability is a classic problem is spiritual work. It is not specific to psychedelics. Meditation creates it too. Therapy can create it too. Intense self-inquiry.
I'm just clear that I don't have trauma. But I have no way of proving it to you. You'll just have to believe me. I have not had a traumatic life.
What you think is trauma is just ego.

The point is OF makes whoring too easy and too convenient.
I am not saying it is more toxic than porn. It is less toxic and that's the trap.
It is like weed is more of a trap than heroin. Most people are too afraid of heroin but ruin themselves with weed thinking it's not so bad.
I disagree. There are doctors who quit for OF because it pays better.
Girls are paid millions to be remain airheads. This is bad for them.
Hot girls have no other incentives than to be sex objects.
I dislike the toxic incentive structure OF creates for women. Raising a decent daughter has become harder.
Porn is heroin. OF is weed.

@Boost Women don't care about your hobbies or work. They care about how you make them feel emotionally.
The uglier you are the more you need of the following: charisma, fame, wealth, personality. Or you just need to talk to many women to find one who likes you. The worse your looks the more women you'll need to talk to.

In India, rape means 5 homeless hooligans gang rape you at knife-point for 3 hours until you are barely alive. In NY, rape means you had sex with a guy while drunk and regretted it the next day.
There's 1st world rape and then there's 3rd world rape.

I steer clear of the freaks. Normal girls are crazy enough for me
An untattooed girl has a mental illness rate of 50%. I don't want to know the rate of tattooed girls. Lol.

There certainly exists an LGBTQ ideology. Which is different from just one's sexual desires.
Your sexual desires are whatever they are. But then stage Green builds a complex web of beliefs on top of that.
For example, calling someone transphobic for not wanting to date trans people -- that's part of the ideology. Or calling someone transphobic for not wanting biological males into women's sports. These sorts of views I disagree with.
Don't forget there are plenty of gay conservatives like Peter Thiel or Dave Rubin, which shows the difference between sexual orientation vs ideology/worldview.
For example, telling school kids they can be whatever gender they want is a kind of ideology. And I don't agree with it.
Of course. Most gay people don't push any agenda. They just want to be treated with equal legal rights and respect.
But you can't deny there exists a small vocal minority of LGBTQ political activists who have pretty weird and radical views. These LGBTQ political activists do not have a deep understanding of truth or reality.
I am not partisan. I don't care if a position is left or right, I follow reality, truth, and common sense.
Right wingers make valid points sometimes. I am not a fan of excessive Stage Green SJW ideology as found on college campuses. It is very conformist and delusional in certain ways.
I am conservative is many respects, in the sense that I understand the harsh realities of the world and I don't like utopian views. I am sensitive to when liberalism goes too far. I do not like liberal decadence and frivolity. I like an old school approach, minus all the bigotry and dogma. I do not like things like free sex, drugs, rock & roll, and slacking off. I do not like sloppy and reckless ways that college kids live.

It is just a natural consequence of understanding reality, society, and self.
All I do is pursue understanding.

@Magnanimous That's so individual. You have to discover what you want out of life.
My values are not necessarily right for you.

I never drank once with going out 100s of nights.
I don't enjoy going out or partying. I did it as a personal development project. If it was up to me I would barely talk to humans. I could live on a deserted island and be happy.
Well, the fact is, the finite human self is a total fiction. It was never real.
So is it possible to be self-less? YES! It's the only truthful option. Everything else is a lie.
Will it be easy for you to surrender your self? Fuck no! That's the last thing on Earth you'll do.

just do it. observe yourself. verify if your suffering will go away. verify if your suffering will grow. have your direct experiences because these are the only ones that bring you true wisdom.
don't ask anybody how to live your life. just do everything consciously and observe the consequences.

Hello, 
This will be a quick post, but it catches up with me often, if not daily, its that I'm almost mid 20s now and an utter virgin, 
I've questioned about my own sexuality but overcome it, and even shamed for it in the past which were never accurate accusations, although I was somewhat confused, unfortunately - I helped friends lose their v card, and I once had money and resources to meet women, but unlike my old friends who got laid multiple times and women would even seek them out, and never myself, I get extremely frustrated - I once had my own home, a nice car, and a lot of money due to hard work between school hours, to which it is all gone after my parents divorce, father's death, mother spending 30 k of my savings on divorce fees and finally my best friend ending up in a mental ward due to his heavy drug addiction (I became friends with him to start an innocent YouTube channel but he got hooked on weed, acid and then the harder stuff) and this all happened within maybe 2-3 years, and during my real lows this best friend would play serious mind games during my grieving and tried to tempt me into cocaine and I was alone and said no, and I was suicidal, and extrememly lonely and no girl really was compatible - and after getting kicked out of the house because my brother and his gf owned a dog which the owners didn't like and I now live on my Mum's sofa, I failed University in order to prioritize moving out (some months ago) before I was blacklisted for 3 years to not move into another house, but that Uni degree I now need to start a career I can no longer pursue, and I am virgin, and sometimes it gets on my back and I need solid advice for the love of God,
Guys overall its been dog shit and I haven't yet killed myself, okay, and I'm a virgin, 
My question is, for those chads out there, is sex worth it? Am I missing out? Do I simply focus on myself and look at this more in the future around 30? For the love of god, its been frustrating me like an overgrown sort of American Pie, I don't know, thank you

So I signed up by accident with integrallife.com ($1 for first 30 days) and there is a guy who applied Spiral Dynamics / Integral Model to stages of relationships: Tom Habib. It is quite amazing and eye-opening. It also more or less shows that Pickup-Lifestyle might be at red / purple and is actually caught in pre/trans-fallacy.
On integrallife.com:

https://integrallife.com/the-higher-stages-of-couple-love/

On youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKcEYJUv348

It would be interesting to compare and contrast how is pick up done at different stages of spiral dynamics for example stage red, orange, green and yellow. I wonder how would that look like. I need you guys to add examples of pick up artists at different stages as well as give me your opinions and analysis on this.

I don't have much emotion behind it.
Mostly it's just sad that humans are so unconscious and negligent.
And there is a feeling of how deep Reality is. The dysfunction of mankind is so deep it's stunning.

I do judge sloppy and irresponsible people.
Like addicts, criminals, perverts, liars, degenerates, scammers, etc.
I don't tolerate that kind of behavior and mentality.

I agree. I want to be less judgmental. But when people behave like such animals it is hard.

I do not observe any eating rules. I do pranayama any time I feel.
Waiting 3hrs after meals is very excessive.

Dude, you don't understand sports.

He's not dangerous in that way, he is dangerous because he has no understanding of how government runs, and he would be easily impressionable and influenced by the alt-right crazies in his orbit.

Only cause it's not so easy to find a child to fuck.
You gotta be mad horny for a child to risk life in prison.
If sex involved a high chance of prison, I would never have sex.

Yeah, it's few. Less than 10% globally.
Mild Green is pretty common but solid deep Green is much rarer.
Much of that mild Green is just cultural conformity.

No, there are many more clues than that. You have to connect all the dots.
Jerky is definitely a code word.
Also, calling it cannibal is rather sensationalist. Eating placenta is a known thing. This isn't something new and it isn't the same thing as cannibalism.
And I don't buy into any Satanic claims. That's more sensationalist moralizing, not factual.
I am not claiming Satanic child sacrifice memes. The situation is much more nuanced than that.

Condoms are a huge problem for me. The sex is just not good with them. And without them the risk is not worth the pleasure.
Jerking off is better than condom sex.

In a certain paradoxical sense, yeah.
Your friends and family will certainly feel like you're being selfish for neglecting their survival.
Humans have a twisted sense of selflessness: where being selfless means serving their survival.

Girls do this all the time. It's their problem, not yours.
Girls don't take responsibility for being slutty. So don't worry about it. Don't take their bullshit seriously.
Impossible to say. But 1-2 is great. 3-4 is not ideal but acceptable. 5+ is bad.
A lot depends on how much time has passed.
