@itachi uchiha Censorship isn't limited to the left wing, the center and right wing political ideologies can also impose censorship to other political ideologies. There's also self censorship as well.

@Yarco That's a good question. I think it'll be similar to if you were unjustly issued a warning or a ban, in which case the person PM another mod or administrator and provide evidence like quotes or posts to build your case. Obviously it'll be tricky because what is the standard considered valid evidence to show you have progressed in personal development to be allowed in the political section again? Is that 6 months of doing a self journaling? Is it 6 months of good posting and behaviour? Do I need to show pictures or videos of parts of my life showing how much I have changed?

@Truth-Seeker I guess Leo didn't want to over focus on the excesses of green when there's more excesses of orange.

@mmKay Amazing, my musical ears found this very pleasant.

@BipolarGrowth Yes, there are a ton of beautiful models to look at.

@Arcangelo Nice music.

Also, Zalinsky likes to ski and have a cup of tea.

@Jenkins I think it's best not to name yourself after an animal.

@A_v_E Too much social media?

Looks like an interesting debate about state holder theory. Watch the video and share your thoughts below, whether Destiny made a convincing case or not about this issue: https://youtu.be/EHxlD8UwmKk My take on this, is that there's a conflation between capitalism/socialism, and confusing parts of capitalism that is healthy for unhealthy parts. I ultimately think that this solution will auto correct into a hybridized system between capitalistic and socialistic economy. What are your thoughts?

Because most people are not interested in self actualisation and truth, and would rather do dumb shit. In my opinion though, Will Smith, despite his success, is a victim of not knowing how mismatched his relationshipis with his wife was. Similarly with the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case, instead of screening out his potential GF, and was still dealing with the lose of his wife he decides to go deep too quickly with Amber, who has a more domineering personality to Depps meak one. All these celebrities, despite massive successes, are not into personal development and into getting more healthier relationships.

@Kamo I also agree that tik tok, video shorts and reels erode attention span, in fact these are the elite extremes examples of what social media consumption, if not in moderation, not intentional and done in an unconscious manner, does to your focus. I am probably the only zoomer alive that consumes very little social media, other than Youtube educational content and wikipedia for bios.

@Epikur This takes accountability partnership to a whole new level. The crew that was making super metriod did this too, sometimes working so late that the work place became a temporary living spot for some of them. Insane work ethic.

Firstly, has anyone here heard, learned and practiced NLP and spirituality? If so, what are your experiences with these two fields? In my opinion, while there's value to NLP, because ultimately NLP and the thousands of techniques it has is meant to develop a healthier self image and self concept of you as an ego, qualities of that self image, and resource states that are triggerable lkke anchoring a state to an external or internal trigger for example, for a person, spirituality seems to go mostly a different path, one of deconstruction of the self using various spiritual techniques, so it seems to me that NLP is like a compounding interest, where it gets better and is meant for long term growth of a healthier ego, versus spirituality that is meant to ultimately shatter that self image. For example, if you were successful in self inquiry, or had a mystical experience that shattered your ego, that's great, except the backlash that follows isn't helpful, and is a backlash coming from deconstruction of the ego too soon, and without some techniques to ground yourself, or to reform a stronger ego, you are far likely to linger in that negative space self inquiry or other methods of ego destruction can typically create. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

@Juan Amazing art work! Is this done in a digital software or done analogue first?

Happy belated Birthday Leo!

@Rokazulu I don't see how it's connected to the mainthread, like is it tbe free speech issue? The misinformation in internet? Mostly from CNN and other reputable sources, and a few from my own direct experience. Also had an Uncle who caught Covid 3 times, the first 2 times he never had a vaccine, got it when he went bike riding in the Scotland area when this virus was spreading, and suffered terribly. The third time was after he was vaccinated twice and experienced much less suffering from the virus, but the virus was so bad it may have traumatized him. It ain't no cold or flu.

@Husseinisdoingfine Better computers.

Although Freud was a bit of a nutcase and a perv, if you looked at the historical context and saw what was around him, and the collective attitudes then, he was onto something when treating Victorian women from hyper mania and hysteria.

Well, it seems circular, in that jealousy and envy, as an emotion, signals a lack of quality, behaviour or material circumstance that a envious person perceives when the person sees another person has that which they lack. In this context, It's the power play and not wanting the actual penise itself, because most women in history were subordinate to men, creating this power dynamic between the two that makes women, actually, crave to gain more power, but in their own way. Also, Freud's brother was the one who influenced much and is the progenitor of making the foundations of marketing the predatory aids we mostly see today.

@Rokazulu Vaccines give a spoiler warning to the immune system to be ready for the virus,whatever kind the vaccine is based on. 10 plus years later for studies for each case, fully, partly or no vaccines to show how vaccines prevent increases in covid deaths. Leo isn't saying the vaccine will make you immortal against Covid, he's saying the vaccine lowers the death toll significantly. We will have to wait in the future for further research. BTW, why have we strayed so far off the maintopic of the thread?

@bejapuskas Unfortunately, we are heading to intergrate into some kind of multiculturalism whether we want to or not, so ideally those immigrants should assimilate mostly and quickly into the culture they are living in and be of value somehow, otherwise why leave your homeland to immigrate to a foreign country if you mostly don't want to assimilate? Of course it'll happen gradually because of lingering attachment and some resisting the changes, but ultimately that's a losing battle.

@thisintegrated Is this who you really want to be? The guy stuck in the rut? What if, instead of those objects and situations making you feel boring, you were actually willing the bordem in your mind? What if you were withholding that excitement, curiousity and happiness, from yourself, because you feel like you didn't do enough to reward yourself those states of emotions?

And other topics like psychedelics briefly with Glink, about some childhood traumas and suppression. Destiny I think comes in after a few hours. Also a good showcase of bowblak getting triggered by Mr. Girl's near constant interruptions, likely due to him having some autistic and schizophrenic mind, these cognitive types of minds are way more literal and binary and don't like interruptions much more. https://youtu.be/OYMAf2ArucE What are your thoughts?

@thisintegrated Really?
