Here is a video where he talks about the 'alien' subject in more depth if anyone interested.

Now, this is gonna be an interesting one Lmao, good share!

This is a good point, there is so much distorting with using right angles, using great lighting, using filters, using photoshop etc. And yes, many instagram models are using steroids or things that are close to steroids. Thats in their best interest, to use a lot of tools to look a lot better on their pictures, especially if they have an additional business besides being an IG model(for example having a unique protein powder brand , or creatine brand or owning a unique cloth brand.

Was it the raw data, that lead you to this conclusion, or you had to use your own filter(s) to arrive here? You can't do anything with raw data, if you arrive at any conclusion in that case we are talking about filtering( interpretation, using unconsious biases, using focus to only see parts of the data) So at the end of the day, whatever you use as your basis, which you can use to justify statements like: Its unknowable I am unkowable or similar statements, that basis will be unjustified. It will be circular, just as anything, just be aware that you always use such basis (to make sense of the world, and yourself) that are unjustified. There will be a reason which will require another reason to back it up. Even this can show you the nature of reality and language. It kind of hinting that something that is the nature of reality, maybe isn't dual but more likely nondual. I wanted to ask you the question, that have had any awakening experiences or deep psychedelic trips? If you haven't do you think its fair to judge something from lower? In my vocabulary 'lower judgement' means, when you haven't tried that particular service/activity but you make judgements and assumptions about it. One last question about this: Do you think its effective to try to ground something that is ungrounded? (or it call be phrased that it is the ground itself) The need for grounding everything is in an of itself questionable.

Who is more likely to aim "lower" though? ( financially wise, lifestyle wise, social status wise etc) The gatekeepers most of the time are woman. So this higher standard thing, hurts the man side more than the woman side. Does that mean that woman should lower their standards? I don't think so, it just good to understand both side. Who has more options a man or a women? I think the answer for this will clearly show the getting laid aspect, of course it can be argued that woman have a harder time finding a good long-lasting realtionship.

Maybe there isn't or maybe there is. . But then again, how did u end up with this conclusion, that this problem cannot be solved? You used your human state, and your rational mind, so you trust both of those, instead of the potentially right God-state. You are saying, that you don't know, but at the same time, you trust your rational-mind, and human state to be able to use those in a way where you can make a proper judgement about the God question. I think you could even question logic itself, or questioning itself, could any of those lead us to the Truth? In my opinion or understanding there is 2 way of knowing. The first one is the one where you can rationally understand something, you can reason your way to find some answers for your questions There is the second way of knowing, which we can call intuitive-knowing. Intuitive-knowing for example, when you argue with someone, and you can clearly see this other person's body-language, his tone of words, his facial expressions and so on. But without contemplating deeply about it, you can instantly know if that person is angry or not, without going through the list i mentioned above. Sort of inutitive knowing is how you use your hand. You don't need to reason you way from all the beginning to be able to grab something you want to. It would be really hard to give a step by step formula for a computer how it can bend its fingers, and in what way, when it needs to bend its fingers, what does bending its fingers even mean and so on. When you do a psychedelic trip, or when you get some insights from doing yoga or meditation,it seems like you are getting those insights from intuitive knowing. You know something, you feel that you are knowing something deeply, but you not necessarily can reason your way to the consclusion, what you gathered from a trip. You could argue, that there are some cases, where this 'intuitive-knowing' looks like it gives you incorrect insights. It might, or it might be the case, that you are getting correct knowledge, but your rational mind can't know how to handle it. I think it could be beneficial to sometimes make this distinction between the two way of knowing. Now you can freely decide what you want to make of this, or which one you want to use more, or to trust more.

Yes, i agree with this to a degree. However, in the "God-state" or whatever we want to call it, there is no one to question anything, you are Absolute. You could argue, that thats another story that is highly prone to delusions. I think there need to be a method or a set of methods, that you can accept as granted, to discover something. (this all required for this state).But even if you don't go there, you can ask the question right now, what do you know about yourself, what do you think you actually are? Probably the answer that will pop up in your mind will be that you are a human being etc etc. Lets change your brain chemistry and see how your sense of self will change. Now, if we are really trying to seem objective, from this subjective experience (thats problematic to pharase it this way, but lets go with it for now), you only know that okay i am something that can examine itself, but i don't really know what i am. If i really radically change my brain chemistry, the very core belief that i am a human being can fade away.Soo, what am i really? So you start to change your states more and more,and then you discover the so called 'God-state'. In this state it seems like that you are infinite, you are Everything, and you are Absolute. It seems like, that in the God-state you can have a better understanding about the world and about yourself. I can use a more practical example. If i have a 2d coordinate system and i have 4 points on it, i can make sense of the points but only in a really limited way, because that particular coodinate system is only 2d. But if i were to use a 5-10 or 40d coordinate system (where we use an AI to make sense of some data) and we put that 4 points on that 40 dimensional coordinate system, in that case, i have no chance of understanding the data there, but AI has the ability to use its higher dimensional perspective and ability to make sense of the data. You could argue, thats not whats going on in the real world and framing it this way a little bit silly, i agree, but lets just go with it for a second. Now in the God case, we can put our Data on an infinite dimensional coordinate system, and make sense our data that way. It seems much more effective and precise, compared to the 2d coordinate system. So as we can see, we can look at the same data, and we can make better sense of that data, if we change our perspectives. So my argument would be, that not every perspective is equally correct or true.

Yes, this is also true. But i think there is some theory, that can be beneficial though. For example generally speaking what a woman is attracted to, how a woman mind's work, and how they think about men. With the necessary theory and with real world practice combined, even incels can get better success rate.

To be extremely clear about it, i didn't mean God but that you can dismiss that you are God, people do it all the time, so there you go. Now you can engage with the arguments that i have made.

Depends on the definition of God. You can get caught up on words, and dismiss the rest of the argument,thats all easy. Getting engaged with the content,rather then dismissing the structure, is harder.

You can dismiss anything even God if you want to, but only if you are using a finite self. You try to understand it, examine it, using your finite human self as a ground which can get to some truth. You are thinking that you are a human, because you are in that a state of consciousness, where if you self-examine , you come to the consclusion that you are indeed a human finite being. If we were to change you brain chemistry radically, your sense of self and your sense of reality could change radically.(You can say here, so God why need to change its brain chemistry to find about itself? - the answer is all this talk and concepts are only needed for our communication. These are just concepts and patterns that are needed as a story to open your finite mind up to other possibilities) The question is which state you will trust more, and on what basis? If you assume right now, that you are really Absolute and God, do you think that using this finite self to understand yourself would be sufficient? Or you might need to change your brain chemistry in such a way where you can expose yourself to infinite consciousness, so that infinite consciousness will become your identity, and the distinction between everything will sees to exist, and also that infinite consciousness, can use its infinite nature, to self-reflect. You can argue, that you don't want to assume that, because you ultimately don't know if it is true or not. However, if you want to entertain some ideas, to figure things out, then you might need to do some experiment. After that you can still say, that it might just be a delusion to think about ourselves as God, but again that judgement would be made in this finite state. Basically, examining anything from this state you can say that others can't say anything in an absolute way, because it is just a belief for them. From your state of consciousness it would be true, however, if you don't want to make yourself subject to this state, then you can play with other states as well, and see what other things are possible. So the question is, do you want to do some experimentation and discovery? If the answer is yes, the following question is, what state would be more better for God to understand itself better and to discover itself? My answer would be infinite levels of consciousness. Even for most of your ideas about what possible and what is not possible, is ingrained in this level of human consciousness.

True, even if we were just to use the context of the ego, we are talking in our heads all the time. In fact, that's one of the reasons why there is a more growing need for techniques like meditation and yoga (to be able to have a calm,quiet mind).

Very true. Why do we think, that more and more pickup coaches are out there? One main reason, is because there is a market for it, there are more and more guys who are needing such teachings/service.

You could do what @SgtPepper said. Or if you don't want to start in the gym, or don't want to go there yet, you can start with doing different variations of pushups. In my opinion, pushups can be really good for building chest muscle. If you are doing pushups, focus on doing a lot of sets and reps as well. If you can only do 15 pushups in one go, then do at least 3-4 sets with 10 reps. You can get really good at doing pushups, i think in a relatively short amount of time. Once you get at the 40-50 rep range, you can build up even more, or you can do it with some additional weight, or you can confidently start goint to the gym, because now, you will have some foundation to build upon, and to play with some weights. Don't get me wrong, you can start in the gym, but i mentioned calisthenics, because it is not really required to go to the gym. You can achieve some good results, just by doing calisthenics movement. At some point it could be beneficial to go to the gym though. It all depends on what goals you have, and what levels you want to achieve, and how you want your chest to look like.

I've heard some stuff that there are some cases, where you see some impact, but that impact is delayed, so it is impossible to track it back down , where it came from. Even if it wasn't delayed it would be super hard to understand the causality factor in a really complex system, but with the delayation it really seems impossible. I assume thats party one reason why there is this ingrained "philosophy" in healthcare, to try to treat the symptoms rather than focusing on solving the problem on a root level. The other problem i see as a layman in the system, that there is too much dividedness in the healthcare system. A lot of issue is targeted as if it could be well examined with one specific approach. If i have for example a problem with depression it could be because of 100 different things. The most mainstream approach is to go to a therapist. So that therapist try to solve my problem, and he/she can't solve it because it might be because of some dieatary issue. Or it might be the case, that I have depression because of not just my diet, but because tramuas and some other factors as well. It might be the case, that the therapist can solve some parts of the problem, but how could one even know if the psychology part is solved, if the depression problem is still present. Yes this is an interesting dynamic you are pointing out. It could be framed, that more and more people are trying to take more responsibility for their health nowadays compared to the past. I totally agree with this.It would probably take off a significant weight from the shoulders of hospitals and from the shoulders of doctors .

To be fair, every system and every philosophy and reasoning will be circular if we question it enough. So thats in an of itself is not a great critique. Every system will defends its "truths" with methods that are in that system, or with tools that are just based on assumptions that are need to be taken for granted. Logic in an of itself could be questioned: Is logic a good tool to find Absolute Truth or to understand it?

Do you think there could be a better way or approach to find out the causality factors, or it totally depends on the situation and on the context? How would you set up the healthcare system differently? How would a stage yellow healthcare system would look like in your opinion? Btw i agree with you, that nowadays more and more people are talking down on the mainstream approaches. But we forget that it is really effective on some level, and of course there will be parts where it isn't so effective. The question is, how should we change it so it is more suitable and effective for everyone. Probably my question is just partly right, because you can't just change one system (healthcare) and expect other bigger systems (economy, politics and so on) just to adapt to it, probably it will go the other way around, but regardless, what is you take on it?

To a certain extent, it seems like it is. But the real question is , how can one have more control over the dream. It would be interesting to find out a pattern for this. What is the formula, or the pattern for manifesting something from thin air (assuming there is one), and how can one be sure, that he/she did it, and it wasn't a coincidence. Or maybe searching for a pattern is wrong in an of itself, because there is the intuitive knowing, where you can know without reason, or in other cases you know something and you reason backwardly why you got that consclusion what you got. I would assume, that this kind of knowing would rely upon on intuitive knowing more than the other one.

Maybe we can, maybe we can't. It comes down to the question of, how much control you can have over reality? or How much you can manipulate reality? Using Leo's conflict theory can be very important in almost any field. Can we stop molecules bouncing around, just because we are using this philosophy? I don't think so, and i don't know if this philosophy can be good in an of itself for the use of manipulating reality. However, this philosophy can be a part of solving the problem, that you have mentioned. This philosophy can be at a more better use, if we use it to give us a better understanding about some dynamics in a certain field or topic or conflict or system. The body is fighting for its own survival agenda, and the disease fighting for its own survival as well. Because our survival agenda depends on our bodies, we will help our body's survival, so we will end the conflict between our body and the disease by escalating more the conflict counter intuitively. (because we are giving help to our body to kill the disease or to cure that particular disease)

I could recommend you to listen to some music, to distract yourself from the war a little bit

@Yoremo Even if nothing excites you at the moment, you could contemplate about it. If you really can't find anything, then you can "attack" this with answering the following question. What would be useful/worthwhile to do? Because if you can find some answer for that question, even if it doesn't excites you at the first moment, you can still feel some purpose there, because in your opinion it would be worthwhile to do. You can also change up your routine, you could move, change you evironment so you can gather more experience. You could try different kind of jobs, so you can have a sense what you are naturally good at ,or what can catch your attention. Make sure you are open to new experiences and places. I think one of the most important one is, to change up your routine. Make new friends, make sure, you have different kind of experiences. You could contemplate about jobs, and then watch videos about it, to see how those jobs are looking like in the every day world. Also, you could talk about people about their jobs, especially if you see that they are excited about it.

@Benton Interesting stories. Don't eat yourself up, your point was valid. I just wanted some more specific ideas, but now you gave some, so thanks.

Have you tried drinking? For some people, a couple of drinks can help to get more loose and to be more confident.

Don't feel bad about it. Its good to question things. Just make sure, you question your own beliefs as well. Have a great day!

What i would add, to my original writing, is to make feedback loops. Make sure you track down your progress. Lets be it reading or a new skill, that you have learnt from a book. Make tests, and make sure you have occasionally some feedback.
