@LfcCharlie4
Not a viewpoint but more of an idea. We should repurpose large plots of land, such as cemeteries and abandoned golf courses in order to use the freed-up space for more practical, "22nd century" aims.Of course, this will be resisted by conventional egos (removal of cemeteries by conformists/diplomats and golf courses by experts, achievers, and Donald Trump). So perhaps in areas where the majority of people have transcended lower thinking/being, we can clear the way and put in green energy technology, fitness/recreational parks, let second-growth forests bloom, or something else.

I like this one: you just have to change the colors, lower the U-cut and BOOM! You're Aladdin! Who would've thunk it.

This is setting the trend for clothing this year.This is all to say that you’re interested in creating your own style and want some inspiration
Jesus Christ, I've never seen anything like this before!
Very interesting.

That's the plan -- thank you for sharing!

This is VERY helpful - cheers!

This is surface-level stuff, but still relevant. A dating coach recently posed this question to me: "How do you dress when you know that women will see you?" As guys, we very seldom ask this because some of us assume that women don't give a damn about looks. After going in public and observing how people dress as an experiment (which I highly recommend you try), I realized that most women dress up very carefully and deliberately to look attractive. Although not a dealbreaker, it follows that style is pertinent in seduction.
Speaking form your own experience, how did you find your style that's both attractive and that suits you?

@Preety_India What's the drink in the back? Looks like beet juice

@Felli Did you accidentally take a bite out of the bowl? Looks great!

@Michael569 @Preety_India Do either of you know anything about the quality of PUR filters? I'm not at the stage when I can invest hundreds on something long term yet. Thanks!

@James123 Of course. But we're talking about ego development here. Be fluent in "your" paradigms.

@Cammy What is the most important question I should be asking right now?
It's funny because the answer to that question is that question. But seriously, it never fails, so give it a shot!

1 hour ago, Intraplanetary said:[D]o you think that not having sex AND not needing it still create problems?
If you don't need sex, then what's the problem? Transcending survival needs doesn't mean ditching them. It just means that they aren't top priority anymore. Or put better, survival needs become more automatic - they aren't a struggle to fulfill.
1 hour ago, Intraplanetary said:Let's say someone wants sex, hence goes to fulfil his ego desire but he has no need for a relationship and maybe never had one. Does this make a person somehow undeveloped? Lopsided?
Well, having sex is a part of life that we have the freedom to partake in. So looking at it holistically, yes, you're lopsided even if you claim you don't need it. (And being lopsided isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's just that you're missing a part of the puzzle if you want the most WHOLE understanding.) But as I say this, I have a friend who is asexual, so she really doesn't need to worry about that dimension. There are always edge cases with these things

@Username I'm curious, what's turquoise like from your subjective experience?

Ego development is just one line of development. In the field of developmental psychology, there are researchers studying different aspects of the self, and essentially all of these different aspects go through the same levels. So in theory, you can have a construct-aware ego, with a 5th-person, cross-global, cross-paradigmatic view. But you could still have less-developed relational view, where you've had limited relationship/sexual experiences. Think about a monk living alone in a cave. His development will surely be lop-sided like this.

@MrDmitriiV I'd say weed is hit-or-miss. It can amplify new insights you had just before using. But psychs usually do a better job of that.

@Tim R Thinking in terms of ego development, pluralists tend to be more compassionate about furry animals. Even so, most of them will still kill bugs if they're inconvenienced.
The difference-maker could be promoting higher spiritual development. Doing actual practices such as meditation, that calm the limbic system in your brain so you can chill out and not crush that ant the next time you see it. Ever since I started meditating one year ago, I've looked at animals with more awe and wonder. I let flies and ants crawl on me and just watch, without the need for knee-jerk responses. It's actually a fascinating shift in relating to the living world!

Yesterday "I" had my first genuine enlightenment experience.
I was two hours into a LSD trip and in the fetal position. As I gripped a bed pillow, crying in the face of sheer love, something clicked and it felt like a profound shift had taken place. The problem is, I don't remember "it" because NOTHING happened. The conventional self-sense, whatever you take that to be, dissolved into the rest of the universe, forming a complete union, which can't be seen, heard, smelt, whatever - because it is itself ! (Of course, language is dualistic so this entire description is and always will be factually misleading, because there was nothing to dissolve in the first place. "I" already am the universe.) Total mind-fuck. It shook my core and blew my whole mind apart. I get chills and goosebumps when I think about it.
As I anticipate an ego backlash, this sequence from Despicable Me comes to mind. The pillar is the 'ego' and the man is my 'mind.' Just for laughs!

@Max Stirner By far the easiest way is to work in a mill. I did that for 5 straight summers and made $2,400 per month. But it will be a complete culture shock and you'll realize how wage slavery can screw people up. Only do it if you have a strong and stable mind, with the intention of quitting when you have enough money and not getting trapped.

@LastThursday That's a solid explanation!

10 hours ago, onacloudynight said:So for awhile now I've been having these gut feelings about something being off
Gut feelings are the same as intuition. You're intuiting something about yourself that you previously weren't conscious of. This is good! Best of luck in creating the circumstances you want.

Hey man, I understand how you feel. When you're new to dating, you have no idea wtf you're doing. I've been there. In time, you'll realize the game is actually quite simple and it's best to just do what feels natural.
32 minutes ago, Vytas said:simple honest "You are great but I do not think me match each other"
This is a fine response. It's honest.
But if you really want to feel confident, the best way to go is to hire a coach. I really like Jad T Jones who I'm getting direct coaching from. He has some good YT vids if you're looking for some tips.

@Preety_India That's a wise move you won't regret! @Natasha That's awesome! I really want to do the LP course but just spent some good money on dating coaching (trying not to spend too much at once). Money management is a super-important topic; I was pleased to this this post.
-
@Natasha In the long term I'd say you can save a great deal by setting aside money for investment and putting it all into self-help courses now which transform your physical and mental health to such a degree that you can't help but make high-awareness money decisions in the future. Spend now and save later is my philosophy at the moment; I'll let you know how it's working in 5-10 years

@Fredodoow How have you and only you been personally attacked about your race/gender in a way that oppressed you? Examples?
Try some introspection. What if, and this is a big IF - what if you're deceiving yourself by clinging to false thought patterns. Make no mistake, every human who had ever lived has done it, so please don't take it personally.
