@The Redeemer Hey dude, Sorry to hear this. Sounds to me like dissociation. -
@Leo Gura Bit of a naive take imo. There are so many reasons why they might lie about it. For example, they wanted to study some sort of captured technology and not alert rivals to it. And there are numerous instances of guys with top level security clearance lying under oath in american history. Just looking at the NSA spying example from a few years ago.

@Holymoly Here's my take on it. Valid point about many leftists lacking systemic thinking. Though ironic coming from a right winger. Then the writer makes various unevidenced claims, i.e. detroit, voter movement. Pretty childish first paragraph on the last side. Final paragraph on the last side is pretty valid.

@bensenbiz You're welcome mate.

@Someone here Mostly owing to my being persuaded by the epistemic regress argument. I.e. every argument works using the premise-premise-conclusion structure. So, for any claim (conclusion) to be sound (true) it must have sound premises. But every premise itself can be seen as making its own claim. So, for any premise to be sound it must have sound sub-premises. Then the same is true for the sub-premises, and the sub-sub premises, and so on forever. The result is that no premise can ever be deemed sound, and consequently no conclusion/ claim can be either. Meaning that any truth claim is essentially arbitrary. Consequently, although I get the irony of making my own truth claim here, any claim to an objective meaningfulness of life is arbitrary. Which is a claim which i think would put me in the camp of nihilism. -

@Someone here Imo, awakening and nihilism are very different. Nihilism is the place of the intellect. Awakening, to my understanding, has to be directly experienced I disagree with that. I'd class myself as a nihilist. However, I don't believe human existence is a mistake or something that ought not to be. I'd class those kind of views as more coming under pessimism or anti-natalism categories of thinking. ---- That said, I like your thinking about surrendering as a path to the good life. Interesting thoughts dude. -

@Someone here I dunno dude. It just sounds like nihilism in fancy language to me if you don't have the direct experience. -

@Someone here Your views expressed in your original post. Are you intellectually theorizing about what you think is the case? Or have you had a direct experience which inspires your views? -
@CARDOZZO What is taught in that book? i.e. noting meditation, concentration etc
-
@CARDOZZO Ye me too. I think there is actually a comparison between Ingram's approach and Kenneth's in the linked article. Seems Ingrams is more about speedy labelling, and Kenneth's more about more complex labelling.

@Someone here Direct experience or intellectual theorising? -
@Yimpa Hi a plant, i'm ulax

@SQAAD Maybe some embodiment work could help, i.e. yoga nidra.
-
@Rishabh R I'd say meditation, getting secure attachment style via depth psychotherapy, and having sense of purpose
-
@Bobby_2021 Ye Tate is a sick fuck. Or in intellectual terms, very red

@Selfnaught I say go for it dude!

@StarStruck Love, acceptance, respect, belonging
-
@r0ckyreed Free association baby! I think this vid could be helpful:

@Leo Gura Wdym dude? Magic trick game is the most high conscious game there is
-
@StarStruck I'd make the distinction of situational v core confidence. Core confidence requires self acceptance, Situational doesn't necessarily require it. Situational is borne out of a perception of competence. Core confidence is borne out of a perception of worthiness.
