One scary, one cute.

@LordFall So, it's interesting to you that people can't focus and get grounded, and do deep work? It's interesting that some people have scattered pieces of defocused attention spans damaged by the digital environment? I don't care for whatever lists of 'leisurely' hobbies you do on the internet, that's more excuses to over consume social media, the extreme example here is Tik Tok in question, no doubt on average the young are getting trained to chase quick fixes and expect quick feedback all the time on the internet. Yes, today's age, you get to replace tv watching with social media watching, still 6 hours going into what? Booty twerks and sped-up clips? I agree, the ultimate aim of the internet and social media, is to engineer multiple personality disorder, narcissism, and sociopathy/psychopathy, through inducing more and more novel chasing and quick fixes per post and per clip and click bait whatever. It's all to make the one person feel so entitled to almost anything they post that one person would get shocked with just a tiny push back. Yeah, self-esteem not a problem for most people! Notice it's most young people, not some 20% that do manage their social media consumption. I say TIK TOK because IT HAS INCENTIVIZED YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND OTHERS TO FOLLOW AND COPY THEIR VIDEO FORMATTING! VIDEO SHORTS! MEANWHILE, LOOK OVER THERE AND NOT HERE WHILE WE CLEAN UP SEXY POSTS AND VIDEOS THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSTED! As the new and steller example and beacon of light for all of social media, TIK TOK is already in a position to be that much more dangerous.

@Thought Art Mind blowing insight.

I think, for the time being, it's probably a great idea not to go do podcasts at the moment.

@something_else

Part 2 coming soon. Should have titled it to 'All the sins the left has left us, for death, part 2'. I'm 15 pages in to listing all the left problems, and you guys call yourselves leftists, tsk tsk.

@inFlow I think the psychic that reached to @Leo Gura was tailoring his explanation to him to make it make more sense, if you know what I mean. Let's assume Leo had played Dark Souls or some game where you die and respawn a lot. The analogy and metaphor would make sense. Advaita Vedanta has a similar modal of how consciousness gets bigger over time.

@Thought Art Have you first watched the following videos:

@Thought Art How do you know he is? And what proof do you have that he is?

@BenG I know that this thread's main topic is about men's rights and the dark side of the me-too movement, but I don't know why there's a lot of derailing, trolling and inflammatory remarks in this thread. Can you tell me what's going on in this thread? I'm not trying to make an obscure point; I'm trying to gain clarity about why there's a lot of obscure writing in this thread. What do you mean about my head being funny?

@something_else How do you know what state of being I'm in?

@something_else Which decent humans are you referring to? And how do you know that most aren't motivated to be a 'white knight'?

@mr_engineer Is this a rhetorical question said in excitement?

@Ulax So, do lectures equate to complaining, in your view? Do you mean the educated, academic philosophical lectures, or the colloquial meaning of 'lectures'? If I want to bring some positive changes, what are some of those changes do you suggest to me?

@mr_engineer Say what to Feminists? And what type of Feminists are you referring to?

@Ulax So, what would you say to @mr_engineer to help him improve on his persuasion tactics? What are some examples that would replace what you think is him 'complaining'?

@BenG That was a guess on my part. Is my assumption wrong? If so, could you explain to me what type of person joining this online community looks like to you? So, it really was a typo? If you don't mind, can you tell me if it's pieces or places or what would be the correct phrase and intended meaning you'd use?

@mr_engineer What made you triggered against @BenG? Was it because of him misinterpreting what you've written? If what you claim is correct to @Ulax, that you 'don't have any stakes in this, I don't have an agenda to convince anyone.', followed by 'I'm still trying to make sense of how feminists get away with this level of self-delusion.' why would you use syntax and exclamation to suggest you were surprised and frustrated in the following 'On my end, this still is an open-minded discussion!'?

@mr_engineer Could you walk me through your justification, if you don't mind? What did you mean with 'My attitude, my opinion is what matters.'? When you wrote 'You got a problem with that?!' are you joking or are you exaggerating a bit?

@Ulax Sorry, what did you mean when you wrote 'Ah fairs my dude.'? Is it similar to writing 'Ah, that's fine my dude.', or 'Ah, fair enough my dude.', along those lines of words?

@Thought Art *Respectful, and full stop, or period. (.)

@BenG Wait, so when anyone finds this community, they are automatic saints? Oh, and is it piece, place or price? Peace? Pieces? Peaches?

I guess OP is already done and gave up on this thread. Thanks guys, it's been a very fruitful and entertaining conversation, let's pick it up next time kay?

@John Iverson I'd suggest you get yourself an investing for dummies book, and personal finance for dummies. It's a decent book that if you follow its advice strictly, you'll earn some decent returns on whatever you invest, be it stocks, real estate or small business.

@Optimized Life To be a bit fairer to you and demonstrate to others how you've conflated the experience of rape trauma to the experience of false accusations and jail time, let's look at this from a different context and situation. The context is fitness, and the issue is which fitness programs or which ways to exercise. What you did, is you took the power lifter/strongman's fitness program, were they prioritize lifting heavy to very heavy weights, with certain types and ranges of exercises, and you took the bodybuilder/marine/navy training program for endurance, and conflated the intensity of the power lifter/strongman fitness program and falsely equate that intensity to that of the marine's and the bodybuilder's, it's no big deal that experiencing high intensity can be highly traumatic and stressful, look at the marine's and bodybuilders! The D.O.M.S (damage onset muscle soreness) and higher metabolic stress is far more concerning. The main issue is you had to downplay the negative effects of the stresses of the strongman/power lifter, and by doing so, you've written off the experiences of the power lifter and strongman and over emphasized the troubles of the bodybuilders and marines. Yes, in context to fitness, every type of fitness program is designed to increase some level of stress, in order for your body to respond and adapt to those stress levels, but that doesn't mean every fitness program is equally stressful and equally bad.
