  1. I don't know why Youtube recommended this to me. I don't watch his videos. That hurts a bit. The world has never been fair. This PewDiePie's Japan video has garnered almost 700,000 views in only 13 hours, while the Japanese castle video embedded in my original post has garnered only 33 views after 5 days. The Japanese castle video contains at least 100 times more beauty (and spirituality) than PewDiePie's Japan video. The world is indeed absurd.
  2. Moving up the spiral is similar to any meaningful change, such as breaking free from addiction. Real change is accomplished not via knowledge or conceptual understanding, but via bone-deep emotions and will. That is why being sensitive is crucial. Sensitivity can lead to integrity and discipline, which sustain meaningful change. When sensitivity blends with open-mindedness, intelligence, and experience, genuine change becomes an automatic result.
  3. How did you know this is true? Those 2 narcissist roommates might have gaslighted you. This sounds like you are experiencing narcissistic abuse. This is very bad, and you should not tolerate it any longer. Tell those two narcissists to leave your apartment. If they resist or threaten you, report them to the university principal and the police. Make sure you document everything—for example, proof of you paying the bills and evidence of them leeching your money and controlling your finances. Documenting everything is important so you can provide evidence to the police. Those narcissists might seem strong and brave to you. However, that's only true from your perspective because you don't stand up to them. You have allowed yourself to be controlled. The truth is that narcissists are internally weak and cowardly. That's why they pick people they think are weaker than themselves to control or bully, because doing so makes them feel strong and enhances their self-esteem. You're probably safe inside the university, so it's better to stay there most of the time. Minimize leaving the university after driving them out, because it's possible they will retaliate. However, you must stand up for yourself and establish boundaries. If you can't do that for whatever reason, it's better for you to transfer to a different university to eliminate those two narcissists. Here's a good video for you. It can help you understand narcissistic behavior and abuse because the presenter himself is a narcissist—though more self-aware than most. You can learn a lot from him. I recommend that you watch all of his videos, if possible.
  4. One possible solution is for you to move to a cheap country so that your $50,000 goes a long way. You don't even need to get a job with that amount of money. For example, in the Philippines, it's possible to have a decent standard of living with $500 per month (including rent, food, electricity, water, and internet bills). You just need to be prudent. You can stay for two or three years and use that time to heal yourself or build your dream life. I have seen a few Westerners (both Caucasians and Black individuals) on YouTube whose lives were miserable in the USA, UK, etc., but improved when they started living in the Philippines. They experienced significantly better lives in the country; they decided to stay permanently. One of the benefits of living in the Philippines is that its culture is among the most similar to that of the USA in Asia, making it easier to adapt. Also, most Filipinos speak English well enough.
  5. Yes, life resembles trading: high risk, high reward; upward and downward trends; pullbacks; highs and lows; entry and exit; support and resistance. I have always been amused every time I discovered trading's fractality in life.
  6. This is what I love about Stage Green. I wish there were more people similar to him around the world, especially in my vicinity. But such goodness is too rare to exist in real life.
  7. In a few ways, pets are indeed "slaves", similar to kids. But that is not necessarily bad. In fact, they need to be "enslaved" to a certain degree for their and their owners' survival. What matters is that pets and kids have decent "slave owners". You wouldn't be alive today if your parents didn't "enslave" you when you were a kid. Lastly, what I said about pets making life more beautiful and meaningful stays true. This is true not only from my perspective but also from my pet's perspective. When I look at my pet, I see beauty, intelligence, and love, and I feel these higher qualities inside. I then express them to my pet via words and actions. My pet, in turn, feels what I feel inside. It's a deeply beautiful experience; a romance with existence. Try to remember your childhood experience of having a cat. Perhaps you can gain some understanding of what I'm saying. Not really, especially if the human companion is decent. Many pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and otters love their human "slave owners".
  8. Sin Chang-won is a notorious South Korean criminal who gained fame for his daring prison escape in 1997 and his ability to evade capture for over two years. He was often referred to as a "modern-day Robin Hood" due to his actions of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. - CoPilot If the information presented in this video is accurate, that means he is more of a hero than a villain. The rich steal money from society enormously and shamelessly, but "legally". That is why there is a massive wealth gap between the top 1% of society and the bottom 50%. There should have been no jail time for this modern Robin Hood, especially that he has never murdered anybody. At worst, 5 years of jail time because it's also a valid argument that he violated the law, regardless of the intention. And 30 years of jail time for Park Geun-hye, the South Korean president and Lee Jae-yong, the chairman of Samsung. But where are these corrupt, rich Koreans? They have been pardoned after a few years, and the others have never been indicted, instead, they have been perversely celebrated. Society is absurd! If South Korea was replaced with USA, China, or Philippines, what I said would stay true. I value Justice, Fairness, and Sense more than Legality, Tradition, and Conformity.
  9. Recently, I have been contemplating the fact that I will be 40 in just a few years. I feel a bit horrified and struggle to accept it. Then, Spotify randomly played that song. Retrospectively, 4 decades pass too quickly. Life is, indeed, too short. I feel mono no aware because my 20s have passed, and soon, my 30s will also be gone. An aspect of me wants to cling to my youth. How about you? Do you want to live eternally?
  10. That's sensible. I understand because I feel the same way. I wonder from time to time whether I really physically peaked when I reached 30. Perhaps, I actually physically peaked when I reached 25, but I was too internally destroyed to notice. I felt internally and physically weak. Retrospectively, I clearly see that the internal state dictates and manifests in the physical state. The first time I felt like myself (after many years of internal and self-healing work) was when I reached 30 or 31. I experienced a sudden and constant surge of energy throughout my body. My physical state began to align with my rejuvenated, empowered internal state. Everything started to flow naturally. That is why I said I reached my physical peak when I turned 30.
  11. But there is nothing wrong with this. Pets make life more meaningful and beautiful.
  12. That was entertaining. 1:02 made me 😂.
  13. I disagree. As I have said in my previous post, honoring divinity alone is not enough. The quality and frequency of spirituality and awakenings you have don't even matter if you neglect your humanity because, in the end, you have a human self and existence. Paradoxically, neglecting your humanity betrays your divinity. I have clarified it in one of my previous posts that having a good lifestyle and diet is important. I don't think this is true. If you observe your body, you feel pain when there's something not functioning well. The human body is designed to become old and eventually fail. So, pain is unavoidable. And knowing that your body is mortal and will eventually become sick and rot results in mental-emotional pain. Just listen to this old American in the video. You don't need to watch the entire video. The first 8 minutes are enough to communicate his message. I agree. Even this integrous MIT neurosurgeon clarified it in his viral video. This shit is not only true in the USA, where he is from; it's also true where I am from, and true where you are from.
  14. If it's something new and important, or extreme, or complex, it's always difficult to imagine or understand initally. But as you continue to think about it and consider its merits, you'll begin to see the sense behind it. As I have mentioned in one of my previous posts, Caucasians (and blacks) reach their physical peak in their early 20s. It's my first time encountering somebody from that race claiming a physical peak at age 40. But if you feel your claim is true, then congratulations. It is until your knee joints hurt and fail to function because of old age. I don't think it's true that most people's path is discovering who they truly are. They just want to be with their family or friends, eat, work, and then die. But yes, a long, healthy, and quality life sounds very inspiring. That's true. But at this point in my life, I am more focused on my human version. I feel the pain of being limited, but I still want to honor my human self and existence. I want to blend divinity and humanity, and the unlimited and limited into a unified entity: me.
  15. I have a pet dog who I love and I consider him my son.
  16. He is the Michael Jordan of spontaneously spewing humanshit (BS). But yes, gambling can be a good profession if the gambler is strategic. There are more similarities than differences between gambling, stock (currency, commodity, etc.) trading or investing, and starting a business. All activities risk money for the opportunity to gain money. A gambler, trader (or investor), or businessperson can be strategic or reckless, and they derive excitement and other emotional stimulations from the activity they participate in. I had a quick conversation with ChatGPT about this topic a few days ago. But there is one thing which separates starting a business from the other activities: directly producing value. From society's perspective, starting a business is better and more beneficial.
  17. It seems you know more about the band than I do. I also want to be big in Japan, but what I mean by big is unique to me.
  18. The melody is decent. But what makes it interesting and capture my attention are the lyrics.
  19. Yes, I'm Asian and probably reached my physical peak when I was 30. Asian males peak in their late 20s or early 30s, while Caucasian males peak in their early 20s. As a result, Asian males (and females) age slower. amen! Why not? God materializes things via me. Humans are God's "co-creators". It would be exciting to stay young for at least 500 years and witness the changing of seasons and generations.
  20. amazing animation! Yes, it's true that a 50-year-old is generally wiser than a 25-year-old. But NOT all old people are wise, and NOT all young people are dumb. It seems you feel more fulfilled the older you become, congratulations! The past few days, I have seen on YouTube men in their 60s and 70s who prefer to live in solitude. According to them, it's more fulfilling because they don't need to deal with people's BS. People are selfish and deceptive, so it's better to avoid them. I feel happy that I'm in my 30s but can enjoy solitude for consecutive years. But I also acknowledge that the point of life is exploration, experience, learning, appreciation, and enjoyment. That includes spending time with people. Otherwise, it would be constricted and limited.
  21. Thanks for the encouragement. But as Mayweather said, Beauty is skin deep. was created by an ugly motherfucker. He has a point because beauty is both internal and external. If by young, you mean young and dumb, then yes. What will you do in Japan? When I was there, I enjoyed the beautiful landscapes, the clean, organized streets, the polite and respectful (but also deceptive) Japanese people, my Japanese ex-wife, sushi, and the Japanese four seasons, along with the cherry blossoms and autumn foliage that come with them. It's the most beautiful place in the world.
  22. Who wants to stay young eternally, your ex-girlfriend or you?
  23. I agree. But no, probably won't materialize in our lifetimes. We have no choice but to endure capitalism and corruption. That sounds a good daily routine. Vitamin D is very powerful. It preserves bone strength and is anti-cancer. https://youtu.be/FH6W5ArDBfo?si=3l69FoQoTImkdNm0 I don't like ingesting artificial vitamins, so I bathe in the sunlight every few days. Sunlight is an all-in-one package; it also strengthens the muscles, veins, immune system, improves sleep, and even increases testosterone. I don't have the medical evidence, but my intuition on this one is strong, so I take it as truth. And the fact that I feel healthier and more masculine after doing it for a few months, confirms it. I don't know what to say. I hope you'll find a way to rectify it because I remember watching a documentary which showed people who regularly eat fruits and veggies tend to live at least 10 years longer than those who don't. You're lucky. Oh! That can be an inspiration. Now, I have 2 gray hairs and I don't like it. But I still probably look younger than my age despite gaining some weight.
  24. By better, I assume you are referring to a Resource Based Economy. Is that correct? Or are you referring to UBI? Damn! That's what I fear about becoming old aside from the appearance deteriorating. I hope you are handling those problems well. How has your sleep been over the past 20 years? Is it high quality? As in, deep and at least 7 hours long? And how about your diet? Did you regularly eat fruits and vegetables? That's a good point. But would you want to stay eternally young for at least 100 years, or you're satisfied with how things are? I would want to stay young for at least 500 years.
  25. I had never heard the song until Spotify played it without asking for my permission. I researched the song and was surprised that it has been in existence for 40 years. So, I feel worried about becoming 40 soon because an aspect of me wants to stay young eternally. Then, the song "Forever Young", which was released 40 years ago, was forced into my ears. The universe is teasing me.
