  1. Hey Leo, as a psychiatry resident in Europe and fan of your work, I just wanted to give you props for your recent posts and interest on the mental pathology domain Keep it up! In case you ever feel the need for some exchange of views on this topic, feel free to dm me
  2. When I finished high school I was more interested in scientific subjects and to the more typical ones of the medical field and it seemed a career where you could make a good living and also help other people. In the second year of uni I had also started delving into the world of Game and self-improvement-psychology, I saw a psychiatrist myself for OCD-depression-panic attacks who helped a lot. Then actually in the last few years of my medical studies I started finding boring some of the subjects like cardiology, surgery, endocrinology, etc (basically the ones that are typical medical core curriculum) and I liked studying psychiatry for the exam, then I also got in contact with one of my professors and also thanks to him I managed to do some forensic psychiatry internship which I liked and I started going just as a student to help in the emergency psychiatry department. Then when I had to choose my residency my score was pretty decent and I was a bit uncertain whether to actually choose psychiatry, cause I also got passionate about emergency medicine and anesthesia-intensive care. In the end since I liked more the kind of work-life balance of psychiatry + I really like the fact that you could help and impact people in the domain of their mind problems + the fact that it's a subject that is very much related to philosophy, spirituality, sociology, then I made to choice to start officially start the career in psychiatry. I am taking an extra university class which will also allow me to work in a forensic setting.
  3. Totally agree to what you are stating As far as what I've seen Ken Wilber's work is really genius, I will delve more into the AQAL if you think it is going to help me making sense more deeply of what I see every day in my work.
  4. Even severe conditions like bipolar 2 disorder and schizophrenia are more common than we think (thank God in Europe at least the toll of the opioid crisis is nowhere as near as the prevalence in the US). Depending on diagnostic criteria the prevalence of schizophrenia can rise up until 1,2%! Diagnostic criteria are quite an epistemic trouble in psychiatry - no other medical field in 2025 has the quite as much an epistemic problem - you don't see endocrinologists fighting about what diabetes really is or internal medicine doctors fighting about the definition of pneumonia, but you can find psychiatrists in the same hospital not fully agreeing even on what something as common as depression really is
  5. Up until now, I've worked during my residency mostly with acute patients-emergency psychiatry (suicidal attempts, suicidal ideation, acute schizophrenia, mania, depression, behavioural disorders), then also with more day-to-day clinic setting conditions like adhd, depression, old age cognitive impairment, mood disorders and personality disorders
  6. I am doing the opposite, at the moment. Forcing myself to use more AI and try to use it wisely and consciously and make the most out of it
  7. How do you realize a game on your own? Can you make a blog post about it?
  8. Discussing philosophical theories... it would be nice a long 3 hour video on existentialism! Actually, it would be nice on any philosophical current out there
  9. He was refering that is way more construct-aware than the other people in the videos, whose reasoning was much more similar to a monkey (meaning very basic and not nounced at all) than to a human with a brain
  10. Let's not understimate also the fact that he ended up hating the Woke culture after his son's transition, as stated in the interview with JP, he blames the cultural brainwashing of the "Woke"
  11. CHATGPT Determining whether you are an artist can be a deeply personal journey, as there isn't a definitive checklist or criteria that universally defines an artist. However, here are some common signs that might indicate you have an artistic inclination: Passion and Creativity: You have a strong passion for creating things and exploring new ideas. You often find yourself lost in your thoughts, imagining new possibilities, and expressing yourself through various mediums. Expression: You use art as a means of expressing your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Whether it's through painting, writing, music, or any other form of expression, you find a way to communicate your inner world to others. Experimentation: You enjoy experimenting with different techniques, styles, and mediums. You're not afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new things in your artistic endeavors. Observation: You have a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the beauty in the world around you. You often find inspiration in everyday objects, nature, people, and events. Persistence: You are willing to put in the time and effort required to improve your skills and develop your craft. You understand that mastery takes practice and dedication, and you are committed to honing your artistic abilities over time. Impact: Your art has an impact on others. Whether it's evoking emotions, sparking conversation, or inspiring change, your work resonates with people on a deeper level. Identity: You identify yourself as an artist. You feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose when you're creating, and you can't imagine your life without art playing a central role. Remember, being an artist is not necessarily tied to recognition, fame, or traditional measures of success. It's about embracing your creativity, following your passion, and expressing yourself authentically through your chosen medium. If you resonate with these characteristics, chances are you have the soul of an artist. MICROSOFT COPILOT Determining whether you are an artist can be a personal and introspective journey. Here are some signs that might indicate you have an artistic inclination: 1. Emotional Connection: Artists often connect emotionally to their surroundings. If you find yourself deeply moved by colors, shapes, or the beauty of everyday life, you might have an artistic sensibility. 2. Imagination and Creativity: Do you frequently imagine and create things? Whether it’s doodling, painting, writing, or crafting, a strong desire to express yourself through creativity is a sign of an artist. 3. Appreciation for Beauty: Artists tend to notice details that others might overlook. If you find yourself admiring sunsets, architecture, or the play of light and shadow, you’re appreciating the beauty around you like an artist1. 4. Curiosity and Wonder: Artists often have a childlike curiosity. If you’re fascinated by the world, constantly asking questions, and exploring new ideas, you’re exhibiting an artistic mindset. 5. Passion for Expression: Artists create because they feel compelled to express themselves. If you feel a burning desire to communicate your thoughts, emotions, or experiences through art, you’re on an artistic path. 6. Time Perception: Artists lose track of time when immersed in their work. If you find yourself absorbed in a creative project, losing hours without realizing it, you share this trait with artists. 7. Desire to Share: Artists want others to see what they see. If you create art not just for yourself but because you want to share your perspective with the world, that’s a sign of an artist. Remember, there’s no definitive checklist for being an artist. Trust your instincts, embrace your creativity, and enjoy the journey of self-discovery! 🎨✨ @Leo Gura Do you agree with what the robots said? Or have something specific to add
  12. Nice what change do you notice by 2 years of chelation? Did you do it non-stop?
  13. Is it a group therapy session for rich narcisist egomaniacs?
  14. I would be amazing Like "What good game looks like: mega thread"
  15. The problem is that usually infield that is posted even in paid programs is just bits of flashy game, you don't know whether the interaction actually went to a close, and so on. The ideal to learn is to see a good wingman in real life
  16. Another Tate cult propaganda move either if it's true and either if it's false
  17. Mmmh I don't think that the US or EU would let that happen that easily. Probably the will compromise just on Donbass
  18. They are NOT vitamines or supplements though, they're proper drugs
  19. How much do you take?
  20. Do you still suggest and think that the best resources on Kriya are the ones that you put in your booklist?
  21. True, the thing is that for some supplements (take for example omega 3s) you probably won't feel any immediate tangible benefit on the body, since they mostly work long-term to prevent diseases
  22. Israel has made his mistakes in the settlement expansion and in the Netanyahu policies, but in the end I didn't hear any commentator actually speak about legit alternatives to the current reaction of Israel to the massacre
