Creative and planning thoughts aren’t stopped. In the same way you don’t think every word before you speak.

His free tour videos have too much of the rambling and yelling. He is better at presenting for his main videos on his main channel. I liked these recent free tour videos though, good delivery and great lessons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3mszliIb2Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivNrbE26Aps As for the conspiracy stuff, I have a feeling he’s going to double down on it. Owen said growing up he believed in conspiracies, but in his older videos would actually be critical of this belief and argue the people in charge are good people just trying their best and conspiracies were just cope for unsuccessful people. However the recent lockdowns and the media criticism he got seems to have changed him and lately he rambles about the “regime” and society trying to brainwash everyone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_French_presidential_election#Results the US media is ignoring the fact that in third place was a Marxist socialist candidate. If the communist party, socialist party, and Green Party candidates dropped out and endorsed him, he could have won as well. Also, interestingly Le Pen’s support was more from young people, it was the older folk who lead Macron to victory. It seems western countries are moving towards elections between far right and far left candidates, as the older people who vote for center or neoliberal candidates die out.

His free tour videos including this series haven’t been great lately, way too rambly and repetitive. He said he filmed a year worth of videos for his main channel that he needs 6 months to edit. I suggest waiting for those.

Shinzen Young is working with scientist to make technology that makes meditation far more effective. He said when he uses it it’s like a full retreat in 10 minutes.

You aren’t stopping all thoughts, you are stopping useless crap thoughts for the brains default mode network. Creative thoughts and planning thoughts are fine and come from a different part of the brain. https://jeffwarren.org/articles/neuroscienceofsuffering/

The issue with incels is not dating. They have severe self hate and mental illness, some of them were molested as children. They need to be removed from incel resources that brainwash them and get psychological help. some incels have gotten girlfriends and it just made them worse. For example the infamous jubilee incel did but he became suicidal after she left and refused to take his PTSD medication. As for the issue of men having trouble in relationships, there isn’t really a great solution, the current climate isn’t sustainable and the culture is toxic. They most importantly need to learn to meet their own emotional needs, have healthy boundaries, and a life purpose. Some basic attraction advice should be enough after that.

I saw this. As a fan of both here is my opinion, Eckhart is right, but Richard’s view is more helpful. Richard’s theory is that we have a main personality split into multiple sub personalities for a purpose. Eckhart’s view is that thoughts come from our ego which is the illusory sense of self. Scientifically Eckhart may be more correct. They are finding there is a difference between the “rider” and “elephant”, with the rider being our thoughts and sense of ‘I’ which is taking credit for the work of the elephant, our subconscious, which does 90 percent of the work http://happinessbeyondthought.blogspot.com/2012/08/elephant-or-rider-intuition-or.html however, Richard’s approach may be more helpful. The problem with Eckhart is even if he doesn’t mean it, people interpret his teachings through the ego, and beat themselves up for having thoughts. Of course, the part that is doing that is just the ego itself. Eckhart is giving a radical enlightenment teaching, but most people who read his books are not going to get that far, because they don’t have a serious practice. Richard is promoting ways to get the ego to calm down and be more manageable.
