@narkuser All the basic self help, including subconscious training like hypnosis, visualization, positive affirmations?

@julienw Well, to be fair to him, he's got health issues and editing those hour plus videos can be mentally stressful, plus PR nightmares to handle, and plenty of trolls, haters, critics and death threats to manage. That and more issues, makes it very reasonable for him to have longer releases of videos. Unless a person does something similar to him, most just can't relate to all that stress. I sometimes don't, and maybe you don't too. In the meantime, I draw and stuff, so I don't be just waiting for him making content.

@zurew Nice post. Yes, it'll be interesting to see how A.I drawing programs would effect jobs around the arts work. Not just for visual art jobs like illustrators, comic artists, animators, but also for musical related jobs like sound engineering, lyricists, music productions, and even kinesthetic types of art like dancing, martial arts and more. The next question then is, if you happen to have been training yourself up for a few years, say for example, drawing to become a illustrator or comic story board maker/pencilist or whatever, and an A.I program happens to be in that field, what do you do with the cognitive dissonance and stress from having to come to terms with your field becoming even harder to enter?

@assx95 To me, it seems it's the reverse, that day game is more brutal than night game. If you know what you're doing, plus a bit of practice, you can pull off much easier night games than in day game. In day game not only do you not have night club elements that could have made cold approaches much easier not there like the blarring music and drinks, but you are far more self conscientious and too critical and analytical of any action you could take as a possible mistake.

In nature, psychedelics functions, in some plants and animals like insects, as either poisons or to manipulate behaviours. For example, some parasites that prey on Cicada use psilocybin as a way to make male Cicadas horny all the time, to help spread itself to other Cicada, while eating the majority of it's abdominal structures out leaving husks of it's matter. Another example is naturally occurring 5-MeO-DMT in small toads, as poison and bitter flavoring. Why? To discourage predators from eating the toad.

@DocWatts Might make sense then.

@Yarco They might not go that far. We'll just have to wait, and see how it plays out.

Related to Halloween:

I honestly don't know where to put this topic exactly, so for now, as it is some kind of intelectual framework and philosophical book, I'm putting this here. I've seen many adverts now about this interview and this book by this biology science author, and I went to see this 'life changing' interview, and here it is in YouTube: I advice you watch it in full, and share your thoughts below. Here are my own rough thoughts about this book: In terms of complexity, Spiral Dynamics stage of development, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, states of being, life experiences and other domains of life and other lines of development, also learned this from Integral theory by Ken Wilbur, I think this thehumanconditions author, prof Harry Prosen, and the interviewer, along with the book he's selling as the magical cure for all of the human condition, is a fine example of the more intelligence you have that's narrowed and reductionist, the more stupid and hubris you have. Honestly, he's making this out as the one cure for all of human suffering, when there's so much to reality and life in terms of complexity and development, that if there ever was such a simple cure for all that existed in a form of a book or video format, then long ago humanity would've saved itself from it's own predicament when the technological development for scrolls, newspapers, books and video existed. When in human history does it show that humanity saved itself when it invented the book or the internet and video making? No such historical evidence existed of when humanity did save itself when it invented new technology, so...this is highly not the case that such a one, short sighted cure for all existed beforehand that this promotion and marketing interview makes it out to be. Notice the blindspot, epistemically speaking, that this Harry Prosen has for viewing this problem, it's mainly viewed from a stage orange/blue lens, from a biologist/scientific, and rationalistic view of the world, reducing the world and trying to generalize, distort and delete parts of the world to fit inside this Rubrics cube that his stage orange value system is trying to fit. While, in terms of cognitive development, he's well developed in terms of mathematical, logical, linguistic intelligence, other types of intelligence he seems to have lower development, like musical, bodily, spatial, natural, interpersonal, intrapersonal, philosophical and existential intelligence is a bit lower. It seems that his moral development is just above the binary good vs evil, but not enough to include other degrees of it. Also, his state of being seems to have a high degree of mind bias and head space preference versus body and heart space preference, which skews and further distorts his view of reality. While he seems to be in his 60's-70's80's, and lived a longer life, that doesn't seem like he has had richer life experiences holistically, broadly and generally in his other domains. Seems like he has just spent a good quarter chunk of his life indoctrinated into academia, and less actual life experiences in a wider sense. I feel like, and this part is intuitive and speculative, that his sense making of the world is hijacked by whatever indoctrination of his upbringing of the world, and because of the rigidity of his mind now, due to old age the mind is far more close minded, now it seems he's locked into this position, of forever trying to justify that his one point view, his one book he's selling, and his hijacked life's work, is enough to save the world, also called the sunk cost fallacy. The harsh, realistic, pessimistic, and Nihilistic sounding truth, even though it hurts for my idealistic and philosophical side to hear this, is actually it's not the case, but it is too late for this prof, he has forever doomed himself into a corner to fight to the death for his distorted sense of reality. Hopefully he could become humble and save himself, but it seems very unlikely. Waht are your thoughts about this thehumancondition? Enough to save the world?

@Stovo Also, could be the case they just want to flex their military might a bit, because other countries like the USA, Russia, North Korea, are doing the same too. Why should the USA be the only country allowed to flex their military?

@Fleetinglife Yes, nationalist and communist support too. Forced hand force?? You mean settle their differences in a martial arts tournament? If that's the case, the issue is quickly resolved.

Also check out luna remix's, they are pretty good, techno genre with industrial rock and roll, with a bit of gaming ost.

@LSD-Rumi Yes, Leo did say he was gonna lie intentionally and troll us, so it's expected at this point. Berserk is a way better series than Carnival, especially the 90's series it's really good, you actually learn something from it, as it was inspired by several philosophical ideas, life purpose, and other art works, plus the original source material for the show is filled with so much detail it's amazing.

If this is true, then it's abuse of the FBI. They are not supposed to be used like this in some political drama, they are supposed to be solving cases across the USA, unless they changed what the FBI is supposed to be? Hopefully they were used legally.

These are also good examples of how your life purpose gets corrupted by hyper stage orange big corporation, wolf of wallstreet style, masquerading as inclusionary and for diversity, and for minority representation, when you passed away long ago. Technically, since Amazon has made a series without actually having the actual written rights of the Silmarillion and permission from the Tolkien family, the Tolkien family could pursue a law suit, even if their defense is it's an adaptation, it could be argued against convincingly.

@Stovo True, the current regime is trying to rally more support from their nationalistic portions of China.

@Someone here Bro, why present them as if there's a schism between Stoicism and Hedonism? There isn't, just your mind likes to chisel a chasm that isn't, instead of hemming in what is and isn't with your oven mites. A mind that likes flying in mental denial gymnastics like a hamster bike wheel, riding to chase Hedonism with haste into smithereens, needs a bit of Stoicism, to bring boiling toil to simmer to then stillness. Another mind too stone cold, itching for a cinnamon roll, told to hold in those boney base urges, needs a bit of Hedonism, cuz he/she gonna miss the bliss of life and thrive in the wrong way, in deep fried, thick mile sand oil. So! Like the Taoists, practice Daoism, cuz they so chill to pendulum switch and balance, symmetry and asymmetry, the D with the T-T to the !D-LIKE A T-BONED STEAK IN A MYTHICAL DREAM!

Another interesting video, of a person who has a Tulpa, and has had a religious background and discusses the two concepts: Shows a bit how a phenomena like this can effect a person to a degree.

Really good analysis, not as biased as the above videos: https://youtu.be/LLj2qamFUuI

@Devin With this issue, we can only speak from our perspective and experiences so far, so for me it's not needed. I fulfill myself more deeper than a friendship can.

@Bird Larry Yes, psychological conditioning and ideological programming. It's thought policing if there are other ideological ideas in the information ecology that the collective wants to control for and against with their own agendas they want to propagate instead. More recent example though, is Disney, once a visionary business, now corrupted by stage orange corporate greed and stage green woke culture. The Youtuber's reactions are great insights into what a stage orange/blue individual would react like:

@Bird Larry Because lyrics are a sub set of music as well, and what you typically get when you have both linguistic and musical intelligence working together, to create meaningful arrangement of sounds. Although yes, the key part here is meaningful arrangement of sounds, which most pop culture nowadays kinda miss, unfortunately we have gone deaf tone to both meaningful arrangement of music instruments and lyrics, with the over use of techno and electro modified voices and instruments. However, there are a few very talented artists who can combine music and lyrics meaningfully, just check out Eminem.

Another good video, one of a hard core fan:

@benny It's not funny, when you have a click bait title, and a video loosely connected to it. That's the main issue, treating this place like it's tit tok. It's not. I do like the video though, even though for 2 plus hours straight it focuses on the biases and lies of JP, with a flat sense of humour. I relate little to the guy. Good share though, but less promo please.

@Tobia Yes, it just focused on the lies and biases of JP, that's it. nothing else but that, for 2 plus hours straight with a forced sense of humour, saying what other people with negative views of JP are saying. Nothing new there. However, it has little to do with the click bait title of this thread, which is the main issue. The issue is inconsistency and needing simple titling, not some exaggerated title.
