I can't drag and attach files as this forum won't let me. How are you all embedding your images?

Read the post above for context. In the above video, Leo talks about how the avoidance of truth leads to suffering. How most people, including myself especially, avoid the truth for decades. The result of this is a snowball effect, which creates a tangle of self-deception, fantasy, delusions, which are remedied by dysfunctional coping mechanisms. I listened to this and I immediately thought of myself. How is it that I could be so miserable and ineffective in as a student, all while denying that my defficiencies. Deluding and prevent myself from seeing the truth; that I'm not an academic, I'm not good at academics, and I will never be a hard scientist. The video above, there's one part that really spoke to me. Timestamped at: 46:20 This part struck me like a bullet. Recently I returned to my unhealthy habit of smoking, and chronic internet usage. I deliberately do this to numb emotions I don't like feeling, in this case; guilt and shame. I began smoking a pack a day, which I compulsively do to block any negative emotions and feelings from arising. I'm becoming worse with my internet usage, now staying up on my phone until midnight, because its an effective way to shut my mind down from experiencing negative emotions. Edit: Another timestamp which resonated with me was 48:43

THANK YOU.

Massive problem I face. One way I would motivate myself was simply reading my classmates accomplishments, seeing what internships they got, what classes they were able to pass. If I saw someone I knew was doing better than me at more difficult classes, that would be the motive I needed to stop slacking off and get to work.

@puporing Thanks for your support and help. I do definitely think that the "old school" parenting model that was applied to me was mostly ineffective, as it made me a mental wreck. Obsession over academics and grades has been the bane of my existence since I was a very young child, and it was I was never offered an alternative to succeeding in the world, the focus was always school. I have a lot of healing to do, I had a (suicide) plan, materials, date marked on my calendar. I seriously think Leo saved my life, as I called the crisis hotline and instead of help I was bounced back and forth between different lines, because apparently I didn't call the correct one.

This is an amazing video: I'm posting this to remove a binary concept that a lot of New Agers seems to fall victim to, which is that the Abrahamic religions are nonsense that involve prayer and worship with no actual spiritual practice, and the Asians traditions are the only traditions which actually raise your consciousness. But this brings me to an interesting question, what happened to Islam? Why is it that Yoga is not talked about at all in Muslims circles that I'm familiar with within my community, friends, and family? How did Islam go from the Sufi mystic Mansur Al-Hallaj proclaiming, "I am truth", to what I see in the video below?

This video as well really spoke to me. Paying attention to my grades and being very serious about schooling was a survival strategy I adopted as a young boy. My mother used to be very harsh towards me, and her harshness was always around schooling. I have memories from when I used to attend elementary school of all the times she would shout at me. I vividly remember sitting with her, she was '''''''''''''''''helping''''''''''''''''' me do elementary school math homework. I was struggling to remember the concepts, as I had a sever issue with not paying attention and daydreaming away instead of focusing, so she grabbed the back of my head and slammed it into the math textbook several times. She would yell and curse at me very loudly for any academic failures and poor grades, and so getting good grades was the obsessive way for me to receive love in this situation.

Amen. Not just university, but education. When in high school, I was diagnosed with depression. I would wake up each day groggy and miserable (most likely due to the compulsive phone usage, which would keep me awake until midnight). I was angry and bitter, and diagnosed with depression. Each day I would arrive and continue school with a scowl across my face, which would give me a headache. I was constantly late, constantly complaining, and yet I refused to accept that academics may not be right for me.

What country is this? I can definitely empathize with the sex part. I don’t pursue other Middle Eastern women because quite often they’re Muslims.

I could see the warning signs since high school that Academics and mathematics was not for me. When all the other kids could answer the math and physics tests without studying, I would always have to hire a tutor, and still fail the test. I hired a tutor last semester, and still failed every calculus quiz. I was in denial of this truth, fooling myself that it was the education system's fault. Btw New profile picture, I hope you all enjoy the new face reveal.

I live in Maryland.

Do you regard Sociology as an important science and field? Its offered in University, and even was mandatory when I was pursuing Physics. It does offer very decent insights into society and has produced very brilliant thinkers; Marx, Durkheim, Weber, etc... My Physics path is no longer viable, so I'm switching majors to my other passion. But I'm insecure because a lot of people dismiss Sociology as not a real science. I remember one time, Ben Shapiro said that Sociology was "a completely made up field with some interesting insights". No one dares to call Physics a completely made up field, because Physics is just true and part of reality. Its an objective fact that objects fall at the speed of gravity at 9.8 m/s squared, or at least they on the planet Earth. Here, at the 0:18 minute mark, Ben says that Sociology is not a "particularly expert field". Here's Feynman, call social science a pseudoscience. So, questions: Is sociology a legit field Why is it dismissed as not real?

But is Sociology a genuine science?

Does anyone else watch Geno Samuel's documentary series?

Its also banned in China, but you won't hear a peep from Elon about this because that's were his Tesla manufacturing happens, and not in America!

Jordan Peterson demonizing Michel Foucault: Serious questions: Are the accusations presented in this video by Peterson true?

I just noticed something possibly chauvinistic and classist about this song. Jordon's character is portrayed in the beginning as a lowly pizza taco delivery boy. In the end, he puts on a black hoodie and joins an antifa march. What do you think he was trying to depict here?

What happened to his right eye? He's getting way too old for this.

Shall we never forget Jordan Peterson's post-modernism song.

There is one specific point in the video where Leo claims that all the least bias-ed humans who have lived in history have been murdered, or never had children. That the humans who live today are the descendants are the most selfish, biased, and egoistical humans. What? The least self-biased humans were killed off? Was this a serious historical event? What happened?

I consider myself a New-Ager, but only because my definition of New Age is a catch-all-term for spiritual but not religious, individualist spirituality where the practitioner doesn't cling to one tradition.

Hitler was objectively right wing as he was a big fan of industry, for whom financed his movement. He was definitely not pro labor as he had abolished the trade unions. https://apwu.org/news/magazine-labor-history/notorious-part-history-may-1933-dissolution-labor-unions-nazifascist
