@BeHereNow I think you're projecting a load of things onto Peterson and not realising/ accepting that that is what you are doing.

Could have been Kung Fu Panda for me

I'd look into Dr Ramani's content

I think he is a v useful philosopher to study to help transcend the dogmas of western philosophy. Tho I think folks tend to aggrandise him a lot.

Ye I watched this a while back and didnt have a fucking clue what was going on ?

@2ndComing In bathtubs? ?

@Julian gabriel I think you're likely unconsciously using that as a way to meet your need for significance. To my understanding, if you found an alternative way to meet your need for significance then I think these thoughts would likely stop.

Perhaps just let it go, and sit with the emotions that come up. I think it could a useful life experience around the idea of learning how to deal with relationships that end without closure.

@Raptorsin7 When I wrote the message I was experimenting with using heavy metal to try to dive into some repressed/ suppressed rage. And I thought you might have some supressed/ repressed rage as well. So I thought it could be of value to you too.

@StarStruck In other words, I liked your way of thinking there

Good luck dude. You ever fucked with heavy metal btw?

Pride comes before the fall

@StarStruck Damn, I rate your way of thinking here

@StarStruck I think I read one of them. Didn't really like it to tho, to my recollection. I believe I tend to feel inspired when i listen to various of his speeches tho. In some aspects, I think Gary Vee was my version of Tate back in the day

@StarStruck What's your opinion on Gary Vee?

I don't think he would speak about the US jewish demographic in the way he does if he was tier 2. Imo, one of the reasons some folks will get really riled up about Kanye talking about the jewish demographic in the way he does is that it will probably have the consequence of increased hate crimes against minorities. I imagine various stage red organisations who tend to scapegoat minorities will feel empowered by Kanye's narrative. Imo, there's ripple effects to everything we do.

@Raptorsin7 I'd say things have taken a positive turn in various aspects for me recently. Particularly around the idea of letting go that I mentioned before. I'm kind of interested in exploring lots of different perspectives atm and seeing how I emotionally react to them, and what happens if i sit with them. And haha a sex cult would be interesting! Reminds me of a Neil Strauss story i heard once about a sexual healing community. And ye i think i could do with facing my emotions surrounding sexuality, I've been doing that a bit recently too, I'm quite into the idea of becoming sensual.

@VioletFlame I think I get you. I just want to try to keep Leo accountable, I think it helps when it comes to growth

@Leo Gura Okay well... if you misbehave again I'm putting you on the naughty step

@Leo Gura I like the intention dude. I will note that, to my recollection, you have made numerous similar statements about change before, and I didn't personally notice any significant change. So, I hope to personally see those changes seemingly eventuate this time. On another note, is profanity now against forum guidelines?

Hi all. Today I came to the perspective that I think I meet the criteria for having an internet addiction. I understand some might say that I shouldn't label myself, but for now I think its an important step for me in my journey. I was wondering if anyone can relate to this. Also, whether anyone had any resources. To my understanding, I've already watched all of Leo's vid on addiction and believe I understand that perspective. So, I think I would be particularly curious to hear about other perspectives. Also, if anyone has experience dealing with PTSD/ C-PTSD and internet addiction I would like to hear about that too. I'm pretty confident that internet addiction is a means by which i cope with the symptoms of, what i see to be, CPTSD.

@Raptorsin7 I like it dude! I'd say the same with me re being shamed. Rn, i'm watching the emotions that come up when I watch this vid. I'd say i usually would be pretty triggered by the thought that someone would say that im like either of these two. However, I just sat with my emotions and did the whole letting go technqiue on them, and now I'd say I'm a lot more comfortable with the idea of it, like it doesn't seem to me like it would be as big a deal.

@Raptorsin7 I relate to that dude. Firstly, that's why i set the timer, I think its probs does some help to just have awareness of it even if it doesn't obviously have an effect. Secondly, that's why i also currently choose to do things that trigger me, mostly via music or youtube vids atm, or external world, i.e. doing something slightly out of the norm and then sitting with the emotions. It seems to me you were getting triggered by people shaming you for advocating that Nick Fuentes guy, so perhaps go watch vids of people shaming the fuck out of him. Someone like Hasanabi might be a useful one. and have awareness on the emotions that come up, if they do, for a while.

@StarStruck You're welcome dude. I based my comment off what you wrote in the post. I didn't watch the vid. I'd say I picked up on the idea of your maybe spreading false narratives mainly because of my perception of the absoluteness of your language and what i saw to be sweeping statements. Does that make sense to you?

@StarStruck Respectfully, it seems to me that you make quite a lot of sweeping generalisation in your posts and comments. I note you say 'Tate speaks to the truth about male-female dynamic', to me that sounds like a lack of nuance. I respect what I see to be a courage and determination in your posts. For it seems to me you are willing to be the odd one out and speak up for things you believe in. However, I think the seeming lack of nuance in numerous of your posts and comments will mean that whilst you may well be helping in some aspects, i.e. bringing awareness, getting people to take action, in other ways I think you will likely be spreading false narratives. It appears to me that you come across as a confident guy. With that, to my mind, numerous folks will see you as an authority figure, and I think they'll be more likely follow their interpretation of what you say, compared to the average actualized user. So it seems to me that you might accidentally mislead some folks with the way you present your views, and the seeming sweeping way you appear to me to make them. I'm not trying to say its necessarily your responsibility, but I just want to bring this perspective to your awareness. Nonetheless i think there are a lot of admirable aspects to your viewpoints and posts, and I think there is a lot of value in various aspects of them.
