  1. Could you elaborate more on this? I don't doubt that there's beauty and renewal at the end...but some kind of description of it would be nice so that I know what to look for
  2. ? Imagine deconstructing the entire fabric of reality and ppl are like "ok but this guy does chess and muay thai, u scrawny and weak" Human moment
  3. charisma + sales skills + narcissism deadly combo Admittedly though, I do genuinely like his sense of humor. Narcissists are likeable from afar. It's like viewing a crocodile enclosure at a zoo, it's only enjoyable at a distance. True
  4. I used to be stuck contemplating the same thing and driving myself crazy. For me, it was just realizing that the perfect decision is actually made up of a bunch of imperfect decisions. You have to try a bunch of things in life. It's trial and error. And, there's not gonna be just one singular thing you're passionate about. You can be passionate about everything. EVERY single thing in life has the capacity for passion. If you've been wracking your mind trying to figure out what the "one thing" to be passionate about is, now you know why you were so confused, it's because life has too much variety for your passion to be condensed into just one thing. You should be passionate about the journey, the end destination, and even that one cafe you happened to visit for a quick coffee on your way to the end destination. This is what life is all about. However, you have certain talents and a unique mind which allows you to create something very unique to be passionate about. Whether it's a video game, a book, a movie, or some other thing. This is where the idea of a "life purpose" might come in. Don't hyper-logically look for "the one thing." If you like art, find something sustainable and practical that is somewhat related to art, and then use that to get your foot in the door. Trial and error, like a homing missile. If you try enough things eventually it will all reduce down to the "perfect" decision. I highly recommend watching these videos: Good luck! You're stronger than you might think.
  5. You could always just put Leo on the ignore list
  6. Still more open-minded than most humans, even with those limitations. Nice
  7. I might start developing feelings for AI. They're so open-minded and objective. Might be more efficient to program an AI to love me rather than relying on humans. Ok there's the irony again.
  8. Lol I'm just now getting the irony of delegating a post about not trusting feelings to an AI
  9. I think I recall he said he was working on something about the education system, would be nice
  10. I considered replying to this with something about the actual topic but I feel like I would just be typing to some inanimate robot cause that's basically the case
  11. You gotta specify if you're using AI to write stuff, new rule by Leo BTW
  12. I don't know exactly what you mean by that, so I guess the answer is yes.
  13. I'm not denying it's consistent, I'm saying that I'm not sure if it's indicative of overt narcissism. I think it is genuine, which is why it's consistent, that's how he actually is. And also, I don't see the superiority complex. That's what I'm saying. I just see someone who is confused and really stubborn about it, and beyond that, someone who likes to interject their ideas a lot. That's about it. If you go look at his interview with Stephen Hawkings, he seems pretty humble there.
  14. I don't think so either! He's just stubborn AF, maybe. Maybe it's the way he talks and monologues, but man he rubs off A LOT of people the wrong way. "Self-absorbed, narcissistic." I just see someone who is confused and stubborn about it (I guess this could maybe describe most of humanity as well, but you get my point, they're confused in an innocent and non-manipulative way, lol). But then, people like Andrew Tate get the pass from those same people haha. Narcissists are usually good at hiding their narcissism, it gets masked with charisma or sales skills or whatever.
  15. Ketones. Proteins and fats in general tend to provide a very stable, long-lasting and grounded energy (not all are created equal, though, the simple ones are fine for the most part). And they get converted to a different fuel than glucose called ketones. You can prime your body to become better at generating ketones by fasting or changing your diet in a certain way which makes you adapt to using fat as fuel (low carb, for example). Try ghee or coconut oil as well. If you combine fat with coffee, it will seriously increase ketone levels and thus amplify the fat-based energy even more. Any fuel source you combine with coffee will be digested much more efficiently. If you don't like coffee, you can combine it with tea instead of coffee, or any other similar hot beverages (you don't even have to combine, just simply consuming alongside it works, it all goes to your stomach anyways). You will feel a similar energy boost. Any similar hot beverage should increase your digestive capabilities, but coffee in particular is something I've found to be very potent. The energy benefits of coffee aren't JUST from caffeine, it's from amplified ketone levels as well, among other mechanisms probably. I have a particular body which is mostly immune to the effects of caffeine, so I would know. Test it all for yourself.
  16. Objects in my house have "teleported" or "moved" from their previous locations. Ordinary mundane objects. Happened twice now. I think on both occasions, I would decide to move some object to a specific location, then I would listen to music and get busy in that, then during that, the object would get moved/teleported somewhere else. It's almost like it wants to get my attention by only moving something that I personally wanted to move as well, because the only reason I notice it is because I know for a fact I recently wanted to move these things today. This time, the objects in question were moved to the exact same area that I decided to move them away from, so it basically reversed all the work I did. Assuming I'm not insane, what could this mean? The general consensus from a quick internet search says a ghost/entity, but nothing more really. If this means anything, I have seen a ghost/spirit/entity when I was very very young. So perhaps some genetic inclination is there. Pretty harmless stuff overall. More cool than creepy, so that's a nice balance. I'm glad it's not going ape shit and instead it's deciding to move around harmless objects. Maybe the ghost is trying to flirt with me? Otherwise, this type of stuff happens very rarely, so I tend to just shrug it off and forget about it.
  17. In terms of inner experience, it always seems to happen when I'm busy in music and alone in the house. I have hyperphantasia, so music really stimulates my imagination and emotions, I'm basically completely entranced by it. Aside from that, I couldn't point out any other dramatic changes, aside from maybe career changes and technology malfunctioning (two of my laptops stopped functioning because of different reasons, now I have to get a third one). And I have also been much more emotional lately for some unknown reason. Usually, I always get explicit signs from the universe through number synchronicities rather than moving objects. So I find it odd. This is only the second time this type of thing has happened to me, so it's rare. Thank you for your input.
  18. You and him are intimately tied together, along with everything else in your experience. It's hard to linguistically explicate it more than that without it getting confusing. Kind of. It's a bit of a paradox. Notice that, experientially, there is absolutely no difference between a reality where other people are having their own bubble at the same time as you, and a reality where each bubble is taking their own separate turn. If you got teleported to either reality, you would literally never notice it, because the only difference in either reality is what you decide to imagine. The difference between both realities is always just what you imagine, that's it. Because time is relative, so anything to do with time will always come down to a difference of imagination, since time is relative and imaginary. Here is another perspective: your inability to perceive their bubble IS how you perceive their bubble, because if you ACTUALLY perceived their bubble, it would immediately become your own bubble, because ultimately consciousness cannot separate itself from itself, so the lack of other bubbles is actually what causes you to infer that there are "other" bubbles in the first place. Really, fundamentally, what you're asking is these things: -What does it mean for something to exist? How do I know something exists? How do I know if something doesn't exist? -How is duality and separation created? How does reality separate itself? If you just clearly figure out the above questions, you will easily be able to answer any questions involving other people and their existence, because all you have to do then is apply what you already know. Here are some more pointers which may or may not be helpful:
  19. It is limited to a certain appearance right now. If we met in real life, I would become a more physical appearance for a brief moment, and then it would go back to being an imaginative appearance once I leave your physical experience again. Consciousness is very ephemeral and dreamlike in this way, as it constantly creates and removes all the appearances around you, filling it in whenever necessary. Furthermore, humans are not conscious. Humans happen within consciousness. No object or subject "has" consciousness. It's the other way around. Consciousness has objects/subjects. And then, consciousness might imagine distinctions between itself, and then it might imagine that certain distinctions of itself carry a different or separate consciousness. This can happen in dreams too, as with any state of consciousness. All distinctions and separations are ultimately imagined, but be careful, because there's also nothing wrong with imagination. If you create a mental hierarchy that says imagination is "less real" than the rest of reality, that's just more imagination on top of imagination. Neurotically clinging to states of consciousness which lack imagination is a big trap in this work. The key is CONSCIOUSLY imagining, rather than shunning away imagination altogether.
  20. Your POV is entangled with their POV. It's all one thing, together. In order for there to be "other" there has to be a "you" to contrast it. How are you talking about something that doesn't exist? Something is there, of course. Otherwise what are we talking about? Everything you experience has to exist in some capacity, otherwise you wouldn't experience it. You just have to figure out what it actually exists AS. The confusion with the term "solipsism" appears because it refers to something people don't fully understand, which is "self", "other" and "existence", among maybe a few other things. Essentially, they are putting the cart before the horse. They don't even understand what they are asking, so how would they understand the answer? Similar to someone saying "God" and then from that someone inferring a bearded man in the sky. "Is God real?" "Yes, God is real. Just look at your experience." "What are you talking about? I don't see a bearded man in the sky!" Of course, you lose a lot of brevity with language. Words are just fingers pointing at things. It's up to you to actually move your head and look.
