@Juan LOL Shit posting can be quite addictive.

@PurpleTree I think for some people, to develop deeper understanding and empathy, it can be very difficult to see multiple POVs in a situation, because on one side it's becoming and being threatened and victimized, so unless a person has been through similar they might not be able to empathize, but on the other side that's doing the perpetrating atm, to see that POV requires one to be comfortable being in a perp's POV in the past to compare to and have some kind of ground to develop empathy. However, mostly nothing is effecting what to objectively do in a situation. It can be the same actions in a situation, but coming from different motivations.

A good video on the POV of a russian philosopher from the older generation: https://youtu.be/-LRNckuFYMU

@Carl-Richard Ok, thanks for the info.

@Hsinav The interviewer or the interviewee?

I think this is part of Destiny's first take before his second take:

@PurpleTree Contrast that video with the video below, from Destiny: Which one is more open minded and considerate about POV? I feel that Destiny is too sunk cost to be non partisan in this issue, despite his rhetoric and rationale being sound, he benefits too much from western culture, as most of his audience is western, while Mr. Girl is able to host and question this Russian philosopher's POV from Russia's side.

Let the info wars and ideological warfare begin. One country blocks another country's media outlet, well the other country blocks theirs, which counter intuitively makes it harder to understand the other side.

@Vercingetorix It's hard to say what one thinks, when the video is blocked from viewing.

@Preety_India Great suggestion. Takes the pressure off of dating a bit, Clubs are not the only places on earth to find romance.

@K Ghoul I can see how we could use this to rally some social media outrage, but I don't see how this could be used in court.

@K Ghoul I think it's possible, but it's probably more work to unpack the technical jargon and spin up a counter to this. Easier to do is to rally up social media, for example twitter, but it'll be tricky with the subject matters covered here.

@Antor8188 The point is to experience peak experiences with dating and pickup, despite orgasmic experiences and other outcomes being imaginary. Depending on various factors and your preferences, you will be sexual, date and do pickup, or not, and both are imaginary. Either way you prefer to do, will be done, and that's ok.

Can you sue them for this?

@Raptorsin7 They always had a shaky cam in their vids?

@Knowledge Hoarder If you think about it, it makes sense, if behind the scenes Donald was partly backed by Putin financial speaking. The main motivation for the invasion of Ukraine would still be to deny Ukraine joining NATO, but I think partly it was to put political pressure on Biden and give more opportunity for Trump or the Republicans a few more chances against Biden.

@mandyjw Well, from the limited context and information I have, I have to assume you are behaving cult like for the first half of your speech. But I don't see how this place is a cult, I can freely come and gofrom this place, a typical cult leader won't allow this, Leo sucks at being a cult leaader, sorry. People who keep using this point to attack are dreaming, deluded, in denial and are too sunk cost in fallacy and in their positions to see how dumb that attack is really. If anything, Youtube drama Reactionaries have more similarities to a cult leader than Leo, how they band wagon and sat and do stuff to excite their followers they have. Way more similarities to a cult.

@Thought Art I think he meant with calling it elitist, is that there are barriers of entry to accessing the necessary psychedelics, at volume and at certain levels of intensity, that it's not easy to go through wothout having the extra cash for it,because it depends on your value system, cognitive and moral development, personality traits,states of being and general and specific life experiences and genetics that will act sometimes as barriers of entry. For example, if your value system is more stage blue and less stage orange, have an American cultural upbringing, worldview of a boomer, cognitively cllose minded in general, morally an absolutist, sees world more in binaries, is too habituated with normal states of being, has limited emotional range, has few general and specific life experiences outside of the USA, is middle to low class, has a wife and children to look after, intimacy problems, too busy at work, a few hard core addictions and several or so soft addictions to work through, has a hobby, health and fitness declining and needs attention, less frey matter in brain to develop more open mindedness, and has low intrapersonal intelligence to be aware of a potential ideological view of spirituality and psychedelics, well it becomes already an uphill battle for such a person to do the work needed.

@mandyjw That's kind off a limiting definition of a cult, so at any point I call Neo advaita to any spiritual topic I disagree with? It's more of a way to deflect and rebut a point, but that's rhetorical rather than a cult. A basic explanation of a cult, is that a cult leader or recruiter isolates the new member in their compound, then slowly over time breaks down their old identity to a society/culture and old life they were living, further seperating them from their friends, family, community, while slowly building in them a new identity towards being in the cult, being a follower of a cult leader, using various manipulation techniques to break down old identity and construct new identity. The cult leader is especially narcissistic, may have degrees of sociopathy and psychopathy, and is neurotic and fears the loss of control over each member of the cult. So how is this place a cult, when each member still has self agency and autonomy to leave whenever they want to? How is Leo Gura a cult leader, when he mostlt gives warnings and disclaimers against turning this work into an ideology, warns against dangers of spiritual work? No actual cult leader is this self defeating.

@Inliytened1 Can we agree at this point that denial is infinite? I see there being no compromise between you two at this point.

@K Ghoul I'm not defending him, I've warned him several times in the past myself about have more brevity and better writing, but he hasn't changed. So really, if you don't like the user and their post, ignore him. I'm also not speaking only to you, but to other users in general of this ADD tendency to not like anything lengthy, it's an interesting pattern to point out, but I'm not attacking anything.

@zurew I can imagine it, it would be like the Lord of the Rings books heavy with the details and settings. I'm not defending @Fleetinglife, I'm just pointing out a pattern, that for some people that holds true, that they need to appreciate a wall of text as is. Historically speaking, in the times of ancient Greece, and probably latin, they didn't have punctuation and grammar with their scrolls, and no spacing between symbols, so it literally was a wall of text that had to be red and interpreted as such. Yes, there was a time we didn't have punctuation and grammar and had walls of text, in scroll form.

@vizual That's a bit too harsh. Everyone has different learning curves and learn like A.I, trial and error. He'll sooner or later be a pretty decent mod.

@SOUL We can say that societies and cultures at large do have some cultish elements to them, in reaction to differences in cultural values, moral frameworks of the population taught and ingrained, and various cognitive developments in each in group and out group, how they think, what collective states they experience day to day. We can see this more with smaller groups, both currently and in the past like with Charles Manson and Osho's Rajneesh compound, although in Osho's case in more his second in command that orchestrated attempts to take over Oregon county and political positions. However, to me it's more obvious that there is much more cult like dynamics with Youtube reactionaries that feel the need to stir up drama, gossip and rumours, and clip out and take out of context pieces of information and misinterpret what is really being said properly for the views, and getting followers along the band wagon, versus a personal development website owner, who covers topics found in self help, but also philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, non duality, spirituality, psychedelics use for personal development, who has repeatedly warned and had disclaimers in the description boxes down below each video against misuse, misunderstanding and not turning this work into a blind ideology. Again, no offense to Leo Gura, he lacks the qualities necessary to be a powerful cult leader. Those who are trying to make him out as a cult leader, are really not seeing that if he was a genuine cult guy, he would suck at it. I'd be familiar with what makes a cult leader a proper cult leader first, before accusing a person of being a cult leader, right?
