Is anyone here a graphic designer, comic book artist? Freelance or working in a company? If there are, what are your experiences like? Am I the only one artist here?

@DieFree At least he's exiting now then later or never exiting university.

Stage blue/red at it's relative core.

@Mason Riggle Yes, I said that Donald Trump was indirectly inciting the mob to storm the cqpital. I don't disagree I said that, so whats your point you're making? That I'm not allowed to disagree/agree with myself?? Yes, there are laws against those that incite insurrection, sedition, and treason. I agree such laws exist. What are you trying to say? Yes, I agree with the definition. The only thing here I don't agree on, is that the definition isn't expansive enough to include all types of insurrection, sedition and treasons, such as violent, militarized coups/insurrection on one end of the spectrum, and the other the legal and behind the scenes, lobbyists types of sedition. Do you agree/disagree that insurrection exists in a spectrum, that insurrection isn't binary?

@Mason Riggle I don't know why you still misunderstand me. Read the below again. So where exactly do you agree or disagree with me here??? Is it about Donald Trump? I disagree with his role in being the president at the time, but I don't share and bask in the collective hatred towards him either. I also recognize that he is a manipulator Is it the sedition? I'll be back later, after I'm done with my life purpose.

@Arcangelo I get it's insensitive. Maybe he thinks it's you being arrogant about your reading.

@Arcangelo Oh ok, that's one example. By the way, are you ok with @Ivan Dimi accusing you of your claim that 'if somebody is dumb enough, then they deserve the consequences' being arrogant?

@Ivan Dimi @Arcangelo was replying to another user, not you, so I just found it odd you had to come in and point out his claim being stupid and ignorant, when it's between him and whoever he was responding to. And I'm asking you, to explain to me, what's so arrogant about his claim that if somebody is dumb enough, then they deserve the consequences? By what standard would you use, to determine if somebody is deserving of the consequences of them being dumb? What if they weren't dumb, but had incomplete information that they were working from? And don't expect the majority of people to be like Leo, always introspecting their positions to near fatalistic levels. Not everyone is taking skepticism to the nth degree and are aware all the time of their biases.

@Mason Riggle We'll agree to disagree then.

@Mason Riggle I think the January 6th insurrection, compared to other insurrection events historically, and in other areas of the world, extremely violent, bloody coups, where the mob is using open/conceal carry munitions and militia, that's an extreme and proper insurrection to me. That's my own personal view on a violent uprising, but I'll concede and include your view and expand on the possible forms of insurrections. And I'm not completely disagreeing on this issue with you, I do want those sedition charges to be passed against those involved directly and indirectly in the jan 6th insurrection for the duture. What I feel insecure about is if this can be later used against 'peaceful protests' when it's mostly non-violent in the future.

@Mason Riggle It makes it less of a crime. This is why we have the legal system, with different levels of charges and punishments, like first degree murder, second degree murder, third degree murder, premeditated murder, crime of passion ect. Plus, for every charge, we have different degrees of sentencing, 1 year, 5 years, 10-20 years plus probation, 25 to life with/without parole, death penalties ect. If we don't have these degrees, then using your analogy, if I carried out a bank robbery, the charges against me would be blanket and general, for every type of thief and how the theft is carried, instead of it being like first degree premeditated, or second degree by accomplice, or a crime of passion/opportunity, and considering what sentencing is appropriate, we don't have that, and instead we charge all thieves as only premeditated, or only give out life without parole/death penaties. We would have a huge problem. The main issue, is if I want to punish Donald Trump and his administration, the oath keepers and other groups in that event, and the sedition charges are not aligned with the Jan 6 insurrection, then I'm and my team are gonna have a serious uphill battle to try and lay charges against them. It's like if I'm a prosecutor and charging the bank robbers, but I'm going for life without parole/death penalty instead of carefully attacking the actual specifics of the crimes committed, the judge and juries might have more doubt in accepting my case, and the defense team would have more room to undermine my case as to severe a charge. However, if I pursue a lesser charge, or a charge that matches exactly the crime done, I can handle that situation. That's sort of what I meant, to not jump too quickly in calling an angry protest as insurrection, because those people would then call every violent protest, left or right, as attempted insurrections. Notice how that can swing back and be used against left protests as well. Another example, is the O. J. Simpson case, a different context, but look at how the specifics are mishandled. We ideally don't want that playing out.

@Felli Not quite true. Most people can develop skills without understanding what their actual life purpose is yet, so really you don't have to set the condition that you have to now learn, train any skill only after taking the life purpose course. Transferable skills I would highly focus on training, because it keeps you flexible in markets and shortens future training times/efforts for careers with relevant skills. As a throw away example, a transferable skill is drawing with writing mediums like pencils, pens, markers, pencil charcoals. Why? because those specific actions/activities, is transferable to using a digital pen on a pad, like the Wacom Intuos, for graphic design, 3d modelling, ect, that use the same/similar behaviors of drawing using a pencil. This off course isn't limited to drawing, any field has interconnections with soft skills. The same skills for tradition drawing, can be used for graphic design in digital arts, which can also be used for painting, which can be used for architecture, which is used for... Plus marketing research, marketing, ideas generating, business psychology, and you are good to pursue whatever life purpose you want.

@Ivan Dimi What is arrogant about @Arcangelo "s claim that if someone is dumb enough, they deserve the consequences?

@Raptorsin7 I hope to get married to a soulmate.

Here are a few sources about chinese face reading and astrology which is quite profound spiritually speaking. Worth some contemplation: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi95IqT9bv1AhXxmFwKHdVvD0cQFnoECCkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scmp.com%2Fmagazines%2Fstyle%2Fleisure%2Farticle%2F3120953%2Fwhat-lucky-face-according-face-feng-shui-and-how-can-you&usg=AOvVaw3PvXfYrMctrIfvLInd7nK7

Here a source about Chinese face reading: https://www.philadelphia-acupuncture.com/chinese-medicine-face-reading/

Think about it. As social creatures, with eyes facing forward, we as ego can connect to other egos by looking at that ego's face, and vice versa. Through thousands of years of observation and record keeping, some ancient cultures, like China, has a collection on how a person's face reveals their latent potential as a human being. On top of that, they combined it with reading what the skies show them, in conjunction to what a person face is. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi95IqT9bv1AhXxmFwKHdVvD0cQFnoECCkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scmp.com%2Fmagazines%2Fstyle%2Fleisure%2Farticle%2F3120953%2Fwhat-lucky-face-according-face-feng-shui-and-how-can-you&usg=AOvVaw3PvXfYrMctrIfvLInd7nK7 If a face is not significant in spirituality, then why do we sometimes feel empathy, or what another person feels, from just looking at what their face is making? When we see a sad face, sometimes we feel their sadness, and when we see a chuckling, laughing face, we can't help but feel that emotion, from that facial shape.

I'm actually liking this new schedule Leo has. Besides basic self help, less hours of talking about high abstract topics like psychology, philosophy, spirituality, ect, the better, because it gets tedious to take some time and energy off of my day to slot in an hour to 30 mins to watch a hours long video, then to spend 30 min to an hour or more of note taking, and hours of contemplating on that day, and repeat the cycle the nedt day on the next 30-1 hour segment of the video. One video every month or two, the quality would be higher, and less invasive of viewers time and mine. Don't forget as self actualizers we are pursuing a life purpose, so ideally a high amount of free time goes into training skills and habits to provide massive value later on, and unfortunately in the past part of my distraction, was also watching videos, not just cat videos, but Actualized.org videos, a bit more than focusing on building skills at that time. The new recent changes, I'm now getting to focus more on building skills instead.

@Batman In your perspective, this could be the case. However, for the majority of mankind, for some who haven't heard of spirituality, and some who haven't even practiced any spiritual techniques, they don't know of and realized no-self. For survival, in a social situation, a person is face to face with another. What is that face to face? it's the ego of one person, connecting and absorbing information from another ego's face, such that it can predict to some accuracy the potential of that person, from looking at their facial gestures, structures, and overall head shape. Leo's overall head shape that widens starting from the eyebrow ridge to the temples, and characteristic features of facial structure, is highly associated with people with some spiritual talent, and higher thought activity than normal, aka those more prone to philosophical thinking and comprehension. I've had a number of interactions with people face to face, and most of my observations line up with what Chinese face reading says about facial structures as I was observing that person and myself, and asked certain questions to verify. In fact, the strange thing about Chinese face reading, is if you bring up a list of faces who are criminals, and a list o faces of people with spiritual talent, and a list of faces of people whose personality type makes them biased to romance and love and long term relationships, a Chinese face reading professional can tell you with around 75% accuracy, the spiritual, or other domains of life potential of a person, from facial structure alone, plus from talking to them briefly and typing their personality types.

I've seen a movie called 'Don't look up' on Netflix. It's a good comedy movie about political ideology, misinformation, the epistemology of how the current social matrix handles a collective extinction, and some metaphysics, all told in a comedic format. If you haven't watched, I suggest watching it. For those who have, what are your thoughts about the movie?

@Illusory Self From my limited knowledge about zone of genius, I think it ties very closely to what is your uniqueness, who you are identified as a self image, and what actions/activities/field of interest comes easily to you, as if it's a natural trait of your being. It's also tied to your zone of excellence too. My zone of genius happens to correlate strongly with chess, drawing using other mediums like pencil, and video games and reading books and fanfiction. That's a specific list of fields of interest to me, and actions and objects. I then go further with the visualization and try to find the qualities and values I'm fulfilling behind those specific things. For example, with chess, I like to think forward and figure out a serious of moves before actually taking action on them, with drawing I like to construct mental spaces and locations and plant objects in it, in perspective. and video games I like for the fun, and I like reading stories because I get to see their world, and seeing how characters interact in their environment and with other characters in 2d/3d spaces. If I want to pinpoint and hone in on my specific zone of genius, I look at those three values and see what do they have in common? Chess and video games have in common, training my mind's ability to see in 3d and visualization. With Chess and drawing, I exercise how long I can hold each images of pieces and the board. I keep going, find the common value and skill development that each activity/action/field of interest is providing value and improving a skill, and that is very close to zone of genius. If you asked me what I find so easy to me, it's thinking in 3d, and constructing stories and generating interesting ideas.

R.I.P Bob Saget, you will be missed. Let's not dwell too much on speculation of how he died, but how he lived and inspired others.

@Epikur No, journalists are doing their job, it's just that Joe choses to niche down and do a comedic journalist take. However, he underestimates how some people misinterpret him being serious, when he's joking.

@HypnoticMagician Try the experiments yourself: go to a red room, and try doing mental tasks in there. Then, go do the same thing in a blue room, and tell us what you've experienced in the real world. If your imagination is good, then just imagining going into a room with strong hue and brightness of a colour would bee enough in strongly effect one's state and mood. Of course, it's not entirely objective, nor is it entirely subjective. It is both, plus cultural upbringing and life experiences that can vary to a degree each meaning in a colour for a person. One who sees red, experiences anxiety, would be different to another that experiences excitement seeing red, at the same time, under the colour of red is a set range of meanings of power, violence, passions, while also still variable as well ect. A few sources, and here's one of them: Haha Lung, and his book Mental Dominance. He also has worked in the Black science institute and studied various forms of manipulation, from physical to psychological, and in that book he covers briefly how colours effect some people's psychology to a degree. Another source, the colour psychology chart: While this is an extensive chart about each meanings associated with each colour, it is not completely representative of all meanings in a colour.
