@Rahra are you a Muslim?

Do you think that an average or pretty blonde would get more atternion next to Megan Fox? Or that Megan Fox would look better as blonde? Stunning blonde couldnt beat stunning brunette bc there is a rule.. dark hair makes face stand out more( so the stunning feautures will more visible) and blonde hair draws attention from face, making the stunning features less noticable. Thats why when a girl with noticable flaws like crooked nose or weak jaw look better after they bleach their hair. It draws attention away and all u see is, ''wow, a blonde '’ Notice how Megans hair makes contrast to her face, if she was blonde, it would eat her face up. But i think many men would notice blonde more than stunning brunette, but in countries with alnost nonexistant number of blondes bc its very rare there.

Hell yeah.. The blonde hair is the biggest turn on for me ?

Yes, of course. If some being without any margin for error knows everything that is going to happen, then what you are going to do is perdetermined. If your behavior is predetermined, you have no choice but to do exactly what is predetermined and have no free will. Those who will try to redefine omniscience or free will get around that. Omniscience and free will are fundamentally incompatible. Do you agree?

Absolutely. In fact, no human will ever know everything about a non-trivial subject. Being an expert in one field only requires one to know a significant fraction of what other experts know about the subject, enough so that you are recognized as one of their peers. If someone claims to be an expert it's a strong signal that they aren't one. Most experts in any field realise how much more there is to know so refrain from claiming to have expertise. And I've been slapped in the ass and shocked by how little I know as soon as I started studying philosophy in college. But also I realized that I can bullshit my way to success. I don’t have to be an expert at all. It is only important that other people think I am an expert. Just as long as I can be the one-eyed leading the blind. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it does not.

Thanks for the great response Well, lemme tell you how I see things and see what you can make of it. Throughout my time at school I always assumed the learning in life would stop as soon as I graduate. Learning was for classrooms, life was for freedom. After graduation, it didn’t take me long to realise my assumption was wrong. Since graduation my learning has only increased, in most cases exponentially. In the 5 years since finishing school I’ve taken two online courses, countless Treehouse lessons to learn how to code and have attended numerous meetups etc I used to feel like I had to know everything to be good at what I did. However, I've realized two problems. The first is I don't have the slightest idea what anything is (on a ontological level) and the second is that knowing everything means you can’t become an expert in anything. Instead, I should learn whatever it is that I need to help me move from A to B. If I want to improve my communication with my people, I should learn about communication. If I want to improve my skills at writing, I read a book about writing, and so on. Knowledge is important because if you do not know you can't function. In all fields. Even if we approach It practically.to be successful in your job and to Earn money you have to know how to do your job properly. I think this is obvious and I don't need to elaborate. BTW I'm already writing a book and I'm getting close to finishing it and I hope I can get a bunch of cash out of it. Doing what I love ad and getting paid for it. Best of both worlds.

The user @Gesundheit2 lives In Syria. And he used to be very active for years (posted every other day). But since the last earthquake in Turkey and Syria he disappeared. If anyone knows him personally like @Loba, or if he himself is doing good please confirm. Thanks.

Very elegant answer. I enjoyed reading this. Thank you. Oh of course, you are correct man trust is absolutely essential to modern living. I trust that when I phone someone or write to you on this forum ,that magically my words get converted into electrons and bounce around satellites and cables to influence a stranger in some far flung remote corner of the world. In some small way, if you’re reading this, you’ve connected with a guy from the other side of the globe . Isn’t that incredible?

@Gesundheit2 glad you're doing well, friend.

Thanks dude. I like your posts. But I have a question.. How do you trust something you don't know? You can not trust the universe, unless you are willing to take a leap of faith in that direction. Everything is connected, me, you, other people here, plants, animals, the elements, the weather. It's all a web, kind of like a spider's. I guess Unless i show myself that i want to take a leap of faith and give in to the unseen, thus then receiving the information I seek, that trust you are suggesting for won't come to me unless I start knowing who am I and what existence is. Which is currently In my mind it seems near impossible.

Maslow's model is certainly accurate, but it has always seemed self-evident to me. I never understood what the big deal was about it. Isn't it obvious that most people worry about having enough food before they worry about whether other people like them?

Ok. I see. But he had that second account for quite awhile. He is even naming it Gesundheit2. So I do not understand why did Leo all the sudden decided to remember to ban users with two accounts.

Exactly! I think that's called the butterfly effect in physics. Is that you can't fully predict the outcome of any system because the probabilities are endless. ALL I know is that I know nothing and it was a lot easier than knowing everything. in fact I find it hard to believe any of us earthlings know ANYTHING (for sure) at all. I'll grant you most people think they know a lot of things but all we really know is regarding relations between things. We know nothing about absolutes or the nature of things in themselves, which is what I would consider real knowledge. I don’t think there is any person who can claim he knows everything on all matters. There will be many subjects, many issues you won’t have least knowledge . I don’t say its great thing to say I know nothing but its quite normal and honest admission. To admit, when you know nothing, on a given subject is great thing. You definitely should go watch It ASAP. One of Leo's greatest 'hits'.

I hope he is just taking a break from the forum. Why was he banned? I hope it is True bro.. It's just he became my internet friend. I'm concerned about him.

Obviously the 'true' you cannot die. Because the true you isn't anything in particular. We can destroy the whole universe and nothing will remain. And that will be you existing as nothing. But Im particularly concerned about what exactly is going to happen when the body stop functioning.

Good analysis. In my opinion, death depends on the point of view. You lose your consciousness, your Mind and your Body. Your atomic compunds though, have the chance to be the building parts of a new living being. If there is anything else about us, it would surely also find a way into our world's equilibrium to be used as someone else's. Death is just a word. We are just impossibly complex chemical reactions. Nobody ever saw death and came back to tell us about it, so fuck all hearsay. I agree that we don't have a complete evidence that we ourselves will die because we only observe others dying. But at the same time we are decaying every single day and getting older and weaker.. What will be the end of this decaying process?

Well.. Like I said In OP there is a paradox between relative knowledge and absolute knowledge. As we look back into human history, in this context, statistically, all of us will die. But, you and I haven't died yet. Therefore there is no concrete evidence that we will die. You and I can live on together forever. We could have children and watch our children's children have children, and we'll be hoverboarding through interdimensional realities with our great great great grandchildren. That's ultimately unknown. That's from the absolute perspective. The possibilities are endless. Ofcourse I'm scared shitless of death. So are you. Maybe you are just in denial about it. But I'm fully aware of my fear of death.

I think the Elites don't want us (the 99%) to be healthy and happy. They like to feed us junk food, junk education, junk media and junk drugs. The real medicines have been discovered thousands of years ago: Cannabis, Magic Mushrooms Ayahuasca . They literally done studies on them and found that they can cure depression and addiction. Needless to mention the spiritual and existential breakthroughs it causes . But yeah ..if toxic garbage like cigarettes are legal..I don't expect something less damaging and more healing to be illegal.

In what ways ? Have you had a psychedelic experience before? I don't know because I haven't.

Of course you can't drive while tripping balls ....that's obvious. Has nothing to do with legalisation imo.

I didn't smoke for two months now and I couldn’t be more happy Since quitting my breathing has improved. This is great accomplishment My sense of smell has improved too. and my asthma has not been an issue, which feels amazing. My general well-being has improved. The chronic pain I possess from too much nicotine burning in my lungs has ceased . This could be attributed to the fact my blood is more effectively circulating throughout my body as the carbon monoxide levels within my body have re-stabilised. Overall I feel like I'm getting my shit together in life ..health wise ..financially..sex life ..etc . I would say my life finally "works ". However I want to understand how to heal and recover the damage as an ex-smoker ? How to erase All the damage I've caused to myself from years of smoking? Just trying to get a sense of something here. If I'm a smoker and I quit, the Internet tells me it takes 1 month for my lungs to start healing if I totally quit. I assume the lungs are healing bit by bit every day after quitting and it takes a month to rebuild lung health enough to categorize the lung as in-recovery. My question is, is my understanding correct? If that understanding is correct, if I reduce smoking to once a week will the cumulative effects of lung regeneration overcome smoke inhalation? To further explain my thought, let's assume I'm starting with 0% lung health. If I don't smoke, the next day maybe my lung health is at 1%. After a week, I'm at 7%. If I smoke on the last day, let's say I take an impact of 5%. Next day I'm starting at 2%, then by the end of the week I'm at 9%. Of course these numbers are made up nonsense, just trying to get a more concrete understanding. Thanks

anyone here managed to fully quit all refined sugar from their diet? When I go even for 24 hours without sugar I feel lethargic and my mood goes down hill and I crave something sweet. I'm considering only relying on fruits and honey.. But how do I stop craving ice cream and chocolate bars etc?

In this thread I want to discuss the concept of 'shared consciousness' and being able to see others as one's own self as we are just bodily diverse beings of a common consciousness. Or at least we are the same when we are stripped to the level of our true selves. Sometimes we sense what others are thinking or going to say. Is it because of the common consciousness that we share or merely because the sense that we gain from practice (getting used to the people that are close to us? These days I'm experiencing a lot of Deja vu and it's driving me nuts lol When I further think about the concept (maybe I have thought too much), can we really have an accurate expectation of others? If all that I see is me, and all what others see are themselves , including even me,then this should be possible? Right?

@Holykael I won't argue with you about the existence of free will.. Rather, I want to understand why are you obsessed with this issue?

What's BMI? No im not overweight or obese. I'm pretty slim and fit.
