Someone here

Seriously though, Where do you find "relative" and "absolute"? Did you capture them in a jar or something? I don't just use my mind. I use my senses also. Solipsism does not make a whim of a sense. This whole conversation is absurd and hilarious. We need to get off our damn computer when we mentally masturbate over "others aren't real bugaboo" and socialize with real people. I'm done here. @Gesundheit2 what's your IQ?

@Breakingthewall At the best case scenario.. Solipsism is undebunkable. There are no arguments against it. That doesn't mean it's true. You gotta get over this thing man, you genuinely seem obsessed to the point of danger. Either accept that it's real and you can't change it, or decide that it's not and don't worry about it. Being in the middle of the road is the least safe you can be. Don't rush into conclusions such as "there is only me and others aren't real" because you know it's bullshit. And I know that you know that it's bullshit. Because who are you talking with If there is only you?

I'm a human. Human make mistakes. I was subscribing to a false worldview. And now I'm back to my sanity again .I know I exist and others also exist. This should the obvious thing ever. But unfortunately Leo has corrupted our minds with his solipsism crap.

Dude ..this is utterly hilarious..the very fact that you are communicating with me means you know I'm real . Other people exist..can't you fucking see them ? It's hilarious how (someone) suggests that others aren't real whiile talking to others. If you truly believe you are the only one then you should shut the fuck up and isolate yourself for all eternity and don't talk any people.

I used to believe in solipsism. I was brainwashed. I no longer subscribe to this utter nonsense.

BS. Obviously other people exist. Anyone who says otherwise should be put in a mental hospital .

I agree with this. Another way of looking at the spirituality is this.. We were born awakened and through life experience, circumstances.. the spiritual/awakened state has been blanketed and covered over. As the coverings are removed and thinned it begins to reveal the layers. some of which are painful, others joyful. It is a journey of awakening to and unlearning those things which have dis - enlightened us. The goal isn't paradise either. The goal is to realize that you are already in paradise. So it depends on how you Define your goals and expectations of your spiritual practices. If you assume you should reach to a particular euphoric state in the future.. You will be disappointed. Because spiritual life is not a hedonistic life. The spiritual path was always a stoic path. Think of the Buddha when he became enlightened. He was close to die from hunger.

Bruh!

U r welcome. If you love it, you'll do it. It just depends on how much you care. If you don't, don't worry about it; just enjoy music by listening. Focus on the enjoyment. You just need to play with some consistency if you want to keep up your skills. Thankfully you don't need large blocks of time.. short sessions, if productive, are all you need. look for local bars or coffee shops that have open mics. You'll get to play for an audience, plus you'll meet other musicians!

Did you try to make music? I use a app called edjing mix to mix songs and create my own music. It's a whole different story when you actually listen to a song from your own making. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edjing.edjingdjturntable I'm also addicted to music lol. When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. Playing an instrument is definitely your go-for hobby to get smarter. Almost every smart and famous person played an instrument: Einstein played piano for instance.

@mmKay I actually was thinking of eating animal's balls.. Is it (pardon my dumb question).. The sperm and the free testosterone In the testicles that increases testosterone levels? Also it feels kinda gross and unclean to eat it raw . At least I should clean it up and boil it to kill the bacteria and so forth.. How do you recommend eating it?

Thank you so much. Appreciate your help ?

@Michael569 didn't mean to discredit you. Hope It didn't come off as that by you. I'm interested in learning about nutrition more. I want to eat and plan my meals better beyond simple calories (which I do right now) In the past I've followed a Paleo diet for times and have found it worked well for me because I enjoy meat and most veggies so didn't have a hard time upping those to reduce my carbohydrate intake. However, that being said I didn't really know much about the science behind the nutrition. To be clear I'm not looking for someone to recommend diets, I just want to understand the science behind nutrition. I'm looking for good starting points to take a scientific approach to understanding nutrition and am frankly overwhelmed by the number of options out there. So, are there any good launching points you recommend? Books, blogs, or videos that would help me understand? I'm mostly a newbie , I hardly know what Is considered real food and what is considered junk food even is so anything is appreciated.

Don't worry. Rant all ya want I honestly rely on quick Google searches for these kind of informations. The education system in my country regarding nutrition sucks. Through a quick Google search.. I found tat that soy has phytoesteogens, literally meaning “plant estrogen”. Some research shows that regularly eating soy products like edamame, tofu, soy milk and miso actually ause a drop in testosterone levels. Now, this is all based on uncle Google. I don't know from where should I get my information.. How to trust any source of knowledge.? Why should I trust you for example? Now, this take us into epistemology.. But that's me being a smart arse.. And that is a Lil bit off topic lol.

@Michael569 thanks for the info mate. I want to just make a note that Unfortunately, nowadays our diet is strongly based on types of food that basically work and mimic estrogen in the body like all the soy and all the sugar. This is one of the reasons why there is a real low testosterone epidemic in modern humans. Thanks again.

@Michael569 But I can confirm that when I eat boiled eggs it makes me feel a rush of masculinity through my veins. Why is that? Are you saying There is no single food that is best for boosting testosterone levels? some nutrients and foods have been shown to have a positive effect on testosterone production and regulation. These include: Zinc-rich foods: Oysters, beef, And yes.. Eggs! Healthy fats:, such as avocado, nuts, and eggs again. Vitamin D: Foods rich in vitamin D, such as fatty fish, eggs. I know It's important to have a balanced and varied diet. It is the key to overall health and well-being, but I did some research on the topic and yes, some single foods or nutrient can be relied upon to boost testosterone levels.

Works for me as well. Spices and animal products make me feel horny. Will try it. I'm craving raw egg's yolk now. Can confirm the cold shower thing. I actually massage my balls with ice cubes. It works because the more cool your testicles are the more semen it produces. But didn't know about caffeine.

For me personally I find the "raw" part gross. But from my experience.. Yes , eating BOILED EGGS? increases testosterone at an insane amount but remember this is only possible if matched with other healthy dietary habits such as cutting your sugar intakes,eating more fiber rich foods and not processed foods, drinking sufficient amount of water , etc . Finally, WORK OUT . I promise you guys , your testosterone levels will go up to the moon.

Leo has an amazing video on Not-Knowing. Please go watch it if you haven't already. My claim Is simple... I don't actually know anything. I have no idea at all what anything is. That doesn't mean I can't brush my teeth or I don't know how to tie my shoes. I'm speaking about an advanced thing. Nothing is wrong with relative knowledge. But in truth. You don't have a clue what anything is. I feel like a broken record for saying it, for some of you that's nonsense I've come to expect from this forum. Unfortunately, the vast majority of members here don't want to hear the raw fucking Truth. and not a single one of them can offer any compelling reason to believe in their ideas. Recently I've been constantly contemplating the question of death.. What happenes when we fucking die? no one knows the answer, and anyone who says otherwise is lying whether they realize it or not. Maybe this world is a simulation the way Bostrom suggests. Maybe it's an elaborate illusion conjured up by the mind like Shankara thought. Maybe it's just matter like Dennett describes. The point is that no one knows. If you are looking to explain away reality then you are looking to demystify the mystery, but it’s always there, you are always there and you are always a mystery. The answer you look for is to have no answer and that is why you don’t find it, this doesn’t satisfy you, you’re always thinking there must be more, something you’re not getting, but you’re here, what is there to get? When reality asks why it exists this begins the apparent disassembly of itself, it divides itself, because it feels it is not enough, but all those divisions are it, what new answer can it expect to find? To ask “why” is to believe that what “IS” is not enough to satisfy you, there must be “reason”, but reason is boundless for what is the very reason of reason? Reason is there for its own sake, there’s no reason underlying reason, every reason reached you can ask “why”... Every single one, and you’re free to ask why for eternity but you’re chasing your own tail. Reason itself is circular reasoning, the most perfect reasoning, it is because it is, you can subdivide reason and create a whole universe but it’s an illusion, the only reason is just that it just is.

Yes smoking can cause erectile dysfunction. Short term solution :Pop up some Viagra or Cialis. Long term solution :Eat healthy and hit the gym

This is a follow up of my thread here the realization of how little I knew hit me like a wall when I started my first year of college. I was so clueless about so much.. and the realization of how much there was to learn flooded into my mind and made me feel so small and insignificant. But this realization was also, honestly, thrilling. I had a seemingly unlimited amount of awesome shit I could learn and so much of it was fascinating. Of course, I could never dream of learning anything more than a fraction of the knowledge that exists.. but still, a lifetime of learning was something I realized could happen and I was excited. But now I feel that there is a huge gap of not knowing compared to the the stuff I know. It seems impossible to figure out just even the basic things in life like your choices of career, life purpose, marriage etc.. So how can I fill that gap of not knowing (let's just call it that)…?

With me it’s got to be blondes. I know, I know I am being sexist, but it’s true when they say blondes definitely have more fun. I have a bit of a story to tell, but first I will show you a picture.. (see the picture below?). It illustrates perfectly the type of hair I like. I don't know Why am I so in love with blonde girls?lol Long straight blonde hair does it for me. Feel free to vent your wrath in the comments . I really don’t care what anyone thinks, I have wanted to express my feelings for quite some time about this. Here goes. I just love the way their long blonde hair flows over their shoulders, even better if they have deep green eyes. I could sit and gaze into them for hours, they could just melt the coldest of hearts with a single glance. What’s not to like. Beautiful blonde hair combined with a great personality, it’s got to be a winner. Check this girl out.. I could sit there and stare at her for a decade lol (no she ain't a pornstar and I don't know her name)?

To be honest my friend, I'm exactly like 90% of the Indian youth who are unmarried. Most of us are single, we want somebody in our life, and we fall in love with every beautiful girl we see just to console our heart. We imagine that beautiful girl we see, as our girlfriend, become happy for a moment and get on with our work with that happy thought. Then, well we see another beautiful girl. Same story all over again. Also, the moment we see that beautiful girl's boyfriend, the thing that comes to our mind is, "That lucky bastard", and we move on.

Haha I knew this thread was going to be hilarious. God what did I do lol. Let's hope this is not going to be locked.
