@Jacob Morres tbf Harvard does have the Hogwarts aesthetic. same burgundy colorway.

@Ramanujan ENFJ are awesome. Look at @Ero so inspiring man!

@Joshe Litte kids being influenced does not exclude adult children.

@Something Funny You don't have to. People's identity is way too caught up in politics. It breeds extreme emotions and extreme situations. Even if you are more level headed than 99.9999% of people. It only takes 1 possessed lunatic to spark the match.

@Something Funny No matter what a PoS someone is, political violence cannot be condoned. It will just make things more unstable and chaotic for everyone. @Twentyfirst Yes, it is fine to have views. But making your life and identity around that is a bad game to play. Better to focus on other things. And respect others even if you disagree with things. Turning everything into a battle is not productive.

Unfortunately, I think it really might be time to pack my bags and search for greener pastures outside this country. The Europeans were wrong about Americans. We're not just stupid. We're stupid and crazy.

@DocWatts It is a good point that when it happened to Democratic lawmakers, the country as a whole moved on. And it never really became big news. I can tell this is gonna be huge and as @Leo Gura predicted will only worsen thing both politically and socially. And yes I do have sympathy for him. But running a political social media empire has it's risks for both sides of the political spectrum. Hence you will never see build my life around it. It's a very dangerous game.

@Bashar How do you use it? Ran locally?

It seems like this is something hard to miss based on everyones experiences. I would say I have had deep meditative states induced through breath work, psychedelics, or even standard meditation. I've had experiences, plenty of solipsism. Becoming the universe. Becoming God. The cosmic joke. That's the way it hit me anyway. The joke is that you are that which you seek. The answer was right in front of you but you missed it for however many decades 2 1/2 that you've been alive. Circling around it like a blind fool. But I still don't know exactly what death is.

@Leo Gura I truly think an aligned AI super intelligence might be the only thing to save us from ourselves. Certain human's unquenchable thirst for power. Along with peoples proclivity to idolize such figures is impossible to overcome via the current paradigm.

@Davino I'm very impressed by your ability to handle these states, along with engineering education endeavors.

I see a lot of different systems claiming different benefits for higher levels of operating. So many people might as well be zombies. With few moments of lucidity throughout their lives. Below a collection of "self" improvement modalities I have collected over the years: n-back games (raises working memory, attention, and IQ), meditation (reduce mental chatter & presence), breathwork (physiological optimization), visualization, OBE / remote view, lucid dreaming, manifestation techniques (i.e. Reality Transurfing, various meditation, mental & emotional mastery), kriya yoga, other psychic abilities, hemi-sync tape Currently, I combine or switch around with different modalities depending on what I am aiming for medium to long-term. Does anyone here undertake any of these or practice other systems not listed? What have your results been?

@Hojo I am doing them recently also. I would even consider it my favourite part of my day. Btw when I do psychedelic breath work or something similar before hand I slip into the meditation like hypnosis.

Yes I've been experimenting with many systems over the years starting with Buddhist meditation as that was the craze 10-15 years ago. Kinda hard to figure out what works with my bloodline as I'm Hispanic so there's a bit of everything lol Jewish, Native, White European.

If you pull the plunge, fuck it... I'll do it also.

Law of attraction

@nerdspeak I would heavily consider living their tbh.

@Miguel1 Vegas lots of tourists coming and going which a lot of the girls you'll be gaming. Otherwise your pool of potential mates is much smaller. Vegas though attracts a lot of misfits and people from other states so it's like a city ran by outsiders. There is a sense of camaraderie and everyone lifts each other up. NYC hypergamy. Most success driven city in the world. Miami also kinda shallow vibe. But maybe I'd put it as number one because of Spanish speaking Latinas those are more down to earth. Also similar hypergamy issues as NYC hamster wheel hustle culture.

I mean maybe for getting laid. But surely Vegas, NYC, Miami are terrible for serious long-term dating.

@Inliytened1 Context matters. If we were in the 1930s he would be condemning the fuck out of Hitler. In a video breaking down God realization / enlightenment SPECIFICALLY... Probably looks and sounds a lot different then everyday human affairs. Or maybe he is caught in the web of this pernicious dream. 🤔 @Leo Gura Actually that would be a very good video idea. Navigating that dichotomy.

@Inliytened1 Leo stopped taking psychedelics 😣 He's caught in the dream now fighting windmills like Don Quixote. Just kidding lol. Yeah idk. I've thought about that too. It's hard to wrap my head around the relative and the absolute. And of course navigating things effectively.

And I'm sorry about your family going through that. Fortunately, I have the luxury of my ego being triggered by much pettier things.

@Inliytened1 Leo would be such shit show for HR if he worked for a company. "Leo we found a video where you said you love Hitler?" Which is why he used The Holocaust example. Not to undermine it. But because in our minds, Hitler feels like the closest thing to Satan. Arguably worse, since it's a real-life example. And pretty recent. I would argue that if he did not use Nazi Germany, serial killers, starving children, or whatever possible thing which we mentally perceive as the worst things about the human condition, then the point he was making could be easily missed as well. The human mind likes examples. It's easier to convey information this way. But no matter which example he used, it would strike a chord is just about any human. Because the darkness and worst aspects of humanity reach us all in some form or another.

@Inliytened1 Such levels of spiritual detachment are disturbing to just about any human being. I also don't like the rise of anti-antisemitism lately gaining traction. It's like we're going in fucking circles.
