@Chives99 I speak for myself mostly, and I may overestimate the dangers of social isolation here, but it never really bothered me that much, especially because I have higher value systems, I think differently and make sense of reality in different ways, am morally developed enough but my circle of concern not that big enough that I'm concerned with other communities, or parts of my own community, am introverted in personality trait among other types and traits, have different states of consciousness and have paranormal and supernatural experiences, well lived life experiences around the world, and other lines of development in areas of my life that makes me more unique and resilient to loneliness. In fact my mind LOVES LONELINESS, it feeds off of the isolation, and I enter into states of creativity and higher consciousness that most people can't relate to or access soberly. I don't even care for dating, short term or long term relationships. It doesn't matter to me if I fail to get a one night stand, or dancing body to body with a potential GF in a nightclub, not getting a number. The loneliness actually helps me reset. In fact, I am the happiest Incel of them all. I just, like I can understand their loneliness problems to a degree, but I can't empathize with them struggling with being alone. It just invigorates my soul. And, of course, a healthy porn and fapping habit helps, and a high quality pillow to boot, can help too.

@How to be wise To be fair, genetics is a factor among many other factors that can contribute into if a country is more successful, overall, than another country. It's when a person makes the few additional leaps from using the genetics factor, and weaponize a fact against some out groups. that point is the main problem, not the fundamental factor of genes because it is the case that some people are radically different, different body composition, different brain shapes, different sense making. There's genes for happiness, or genes that make a person blind from birth, or give them extra sensory input into their vision, causing them to 'see' colours not normally there, and other freaky things that most people just take for granted. Geography is also the 'genetics' of a country too, yet we don't see how people argue heatedly that it's 'eugenics' or 'racist' or 'ethnocentric' to point out a country's limitations of geography.

@supremeyingyang The conclusion was in reference to the cardinal, staying power, and mutable traits of the zodiac symbols. A cardinal just means a person who's likely to be a strong starter, a charger early on, like a sprinter, but doesn't has the predisposition of the 'staying power' sign and mutable sign, which means that the sprinter can burst speed and gain a lot of distance early on, but after 3 or so minutes, loses power quickly, and not being mutable means that the person can't adapt as well to changes in situations and other people. The rest of the paragraph was me laying out the complexities of this situation, as I like to think broadly and in holistic ways, so yes I tend to extrapolate other empirics from other contexts and weave together a complex idea, to show that this isn't a simple situation. Andrew Tate's life isn't so simple than what most just assume nowadays. There's real world, environment and circumstances that do shape a person into a Swindler or con artist, to which Andrew Tate is mostly the victim of a system that failed him, but manages to not fail most average people or other groups.

@supremeyingyang Of course I'm serious. Why do you think I'm posted that way? To troll and hate on Andrew Tate? Has Tik Tok ruined your brain and common sense too? I posted to express my complicated opinion, and both understanding and empathy for Tate's situation. Sorry astrology or science isn't your cup of tea.

@How to be wise Shows you how powerful ideologies indoctrinated into your mind from upbringing, self biases and preferences, diverse life experiences and worldviews are, and how states, cognition, moral systems, and values systems deep in the psyche, all dictate how you interpret life and the world.

@Sincerity Okay, asking more questions and contemplate more in general, like Leo's '64 questions', and contemplation videos. If you don't mind, could you list some more specific technics you use to generate more insights? For me, I'm starting like an ideas generating journal for businesses.

@Nilsi If this is actually true, then I do feel sorry for the guy. As much as a person is in charge of their life purpose, sometimes life and circumstances and environment can derail a life so quickly. If I did an astrology reading on Andrew Tate, without other pieces of information like his stage of development, cognitive and oral development, personality typing, ego development, state of consciousness, life experiences and other lines of development in different domains of life, without checking his natal chart, I'd assume a few things, that he is born under the sign that has the fire element, maybe under Ares/Ram as the Ram is a cardinal sign, meaning a very strong starter, but may not have the same endurance power of say the Leo, or Sagittarius with it's mutable sign.

@Devin I just have a few questions. When Leo made his life purpose course, without spoiling the material inside the course, is it mostly geared for an American audience? Is it more for the capitalists and the entrepreneurs in the USA more than other foreign countries?

@Nilsi Okay.

@Girzo Standard, and a bit boring.

@julienw I can confirm, because I felt after some time of listening, it's one of those 'lost in semantics' podcasts. I feel that Leo, and very few sages in the world, really understands how tricky this work can be. I was optimistic that maybe it would be good if Lex Fridman and Leo could talk, but I don't think that it would be productive. I even think it would be like the Kanye and Lex Fridman episode, and I can already see how he would be so triggered and defensive by Leo's revelation. Who wouldn't, especially if you're a Scientist/computer nerd into the human braun, being told that the brain doesn't exists, and that you're GOD and INFINITY IS EVERYTHING, or if Leo tones it done, you are NOTHINGNESS, or not real at all. Yeah, I can see how radical levels of open mindedness and wisdom is needed, that whicb Lex unfortunately has little of, despite him saying how'd he'd love more and so on.

@Devin Sorry, I am a special person, so humor doesn't come easily to me.

@Devin You can LOL all you want, it's still bad faith and not productive. Don't be not cool.

@Nilsi However, sometimes taking something too seriously can backfire. Just look at my post about the differences between the male and female mind, and here, the conservative and liberal mind. Not a overly serious post.

@Devin Dude, no shot. Please don't be bad faith and uncharitable, and try to goad OP with hinting you're being a bit racist and ethnocentric. Not cool. Address his points directly and not his character or demographics please. Don't be not cool.

@How to be wise Maybe you meant in this thread. However, the entire forum and website is majority western division, not eastern division. No amount of psychedelics, and supernatural powers of shape shifting reality, is going to change the current statistics that this forum is majority western predominantly.

@Nilsi I was specifically referring to the western bit, I thought you and that other user meant this entire forum is eastern division. Maybe this thread, but the rest of the forum and website is western, sorry.

@Emerald Fine, I screwed up the bolden parts. However, you haven't addressed the issues in my previous post, and again, I could be wrong, seems like you're now dodging the possibility that you've actually directly addressed to me than to OP. If you got an issue with a Furry in the thumbnail, just say so. No need for the passive aggressiveness and differing to OP constantly.

@How to be wise @Nilsi Actually @Carl-Richard is right in claiming this forum is mostly western dominant. Just look at the map here in Actualized.org, in the life purpose course page, and roughly how many use Actualized.org, mostly from the USA, Canada, and the UK and other European countries. Other places from the eastern cultural divisions, are not the majority here, the majority are from western divisions.

This is a really good video, I wish this is the level of discourse here in the thread:

@Someone here Actually, it's a bit the other way around. At least in democratic first world countries there's far more outrage and outcry of these sexual assaults. In other parts of the world, there's still deep stigmas of dealing with those situations, and worse, reporting a case like that is discouraged, and can sometimes result in ostracization, sometimes even death. At least in the USA and in the Sweden governments, they enforce way more justice than other parts of the world.

@Devin To change context a bit, look at the anti culture movement in the Nixon era, what happened? with age and time, those hippies ended up being in the left leaning universities, some as professors now, now a part of an establishment. Notice how, 30+ years ago they were more hippie and new agey in their thinking and movement, but now they mellowed out a bit and, became a bit more conservative and moderate. Again, it's the wheel of time. I don't mean to conflate the left, middle and right, but again, to me, it's a wheel. What can I saw? Age changes people man!

@Emerald The bolded parts are an assumption based on what OP has written here, and nowhere else in his past posts, which means you have to acknowledge that, if you're entire post from that point was all about the bolded statement, and it's proven to be false, then you are operating on faulty assumptions. Now, I'll assume OP'S point of view and engage with each of those questions directly as if I'm OP, which yes I'm assuming a lot on my part in answering these questions in good faith. Also to readers, disclaimer: we'll be talking about rape. 1. Big assumption and binary. Of course we should prosecute cases of rape when it's reported to the authorities. However, I don't see how this question relates to understanding the conservative mind vs the liberal mind, not political views, the NATURE OF THE MIND. Instead, I'd recommend you tie in this rape question with OP's main idea being discussed, the nature of the conservative and liberal mind, for example when a rape happens, the conservative mind closes down and becomes defensive and guarded against, from the rape experience, to a rape story, because the subject matter is dark. 2. Problematic question, as the built in assumption is there's a false reporting of rape potentially speaking. Here, I'd also agree, and reserve the right, in the legal system, for the authorities to also verify claims of rape. I am not in opposition for or against the charging of the rapist, or the rape victim, I am more in favor for a fairer and more careful investigation, for both sides involved, which is why the American legal system allows, with justification, counter suing and other lawsuits. 3. This question is also problematic, because to imagine yourself getting raped can be triggering and too dark for the reader. There's a lot of factors involved here that also determines to what degree the reader is going to imagine into the scenario, from the stage of development, to cognitive and moral development, personality typing and traits, ego development, life/lived experiences and other lines of development in various areas of life. 4. This is a follow up question from 3, which is even more problematic because, again, this assumes the reader is willing to imagine this dark scenario inside their minds, and go deeper into the rape visualization. Also, for specific factors, sometimes 'holding your tongue' is part of SURVIVAL, as some places in different parts of the world would silence such reporting, and some people with different psychological development won't act as the average would act in these specific cases. 5. Well, what about theft? while this has little to do with the rape questions you're asking, this breaks away to a different context now, with is fine and I accept the change of context, at least theft is lesser dark than rape. Now I can imagine a situation that deals with theft. 6. This depends on the context. If I was a single father in a line to buy some McDonalds, and my wife is playing with my children, and my wife saw a homeless looking man steal a wallet from some other woman's purse, that woman is distracted, a table behind her children, should she call out the theft? If she does, then it puts more risk on her, and our children, a table away from the thief, and calling this out when she and our children are too close to them, puts more stress onto the thief who might get more aggressive to them. The question then becomes this: Can you admit and acknowledge the possibility of silence and compliance, as a form of self defense, and that sometimes it's the BEST FORM OF DEFENSE? Also, in some places on earth, if you publicly call out a theft, a group can gather and chase down the offender, and beat them up, or chop their hand off. Look, I have stated this before, but again I can't help but feel that you're original post is addressing me more than OP. Yes, OP may have introduced a rape scenario in his original post, or not I don't know, but I've replied to him, and attempted to steer this entire thread into a more specific context, a sexual context, where OP and some can see the differences in a conservative mind dealing with a liberal mind attempting to introduce them to some kink or sexual roleplay, in a DnD setting. That's my post that's trying to give a more specific case of showing how a conservative religious minded person has dealt with what he perceived as a betrayal of trust and perversion, especially when in context he describes that he's a recovering pyrography addict, a Christian, and the person in question who betrays him, is his Fiancée, and he warned the DM, PC and his Fiancée that he felt uncomfortable and wishes to roleplay without the sexual themes, to which, their liberal minds do not acknowledge and respect his wish. To me it's too coincidental that it happens to be my post you are indirectly referring to more than the OP's.

@Nilsi Sure, although it's still subject to time and relativity.

@Devin Helpful to think of the left, middle, and right, as a gigantic Ferris wheel, the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. What's then left, becomes the middle, and finally, becomes the right.
