    @Nobody_Here do you mean 250steps per 14 hrs. This is very small amount. Remidnders every some time?@Michael569 thanks, very useful. Desk would be the first thing I would consider. Unfortunately I move often and it would be a bargain... So I need to find work as a 3d graphic designer as soon as possible so I have some stability.

    Sorry, can't delete the quotation

    250 steps per hour. You would still do workouts and the rest.

    There is a lot of chance that you'll outgrow your relationship at some point and figure out your partner and yourself aren't that compatible.

    This has happened to me; fortunately, I wasn't married to the person. But if you do a lot of personal development, you run this risk.

    The moments we spend thinking negatively about stuff that don't affect us are wasted moments and rather better be spent on creating our positive experiences.

    Ignore what you find disturbing. Your time is invaluable, and your moments are irreplaceable.

    I like this a lot. FOMO is a waste of time.

    Marriage doesn't equal happiness. 

    I met a girl on the weekend and we spoke about marriage, she had an interesting perspective. She said that the only purpose of marriage is to sign a legal document which outlines the consequences of breaking up. 

    Therefore, marriage is just the first step to divorce. 

    :D That was great. It gives me an interesting perspective because my parents have been married a very long time and still going strong. I come from a family whose marriages tend to last.

    That said, I have never married because I have found it difficult to find other people with that same mentality -- a partnership that lasts.

    The best thing about never being married is that I have never been divorced, either.

    Any Stage above the center of gravity for one's Culture will require some degree of exceptionalism to navigate and embody, simply because the support structures which help ordinary people imbue said Stage are either Limited or Non Existent

    Perhaps in a couple hundred years societies will be structured in a way where the natural 'pull' is towards Yellow, but that's a long way off

    I think @DocWatts gave the best response. A thousand years ago, the most important stuff written probably averaged around Stage Blue. Most people were at Stage Red and Purple. The average Stage of a nation seems to be Stage Blue or Orange in most modern countries, with very few at Stage Green. To be at Stage Yellow, you have to be willing to defy the norm and make a living doing it. It also helps to be born into a culture that is at least Stage Orange.

    In addition to having the privilege of being born in a First World country, it also helps to be older. It takes time to work your way into stages that are not in the default. Traumatic incidents help, too, in my opinion, because that forces one to step outside cultural paradigms in an attempt to heal.

    TL; DR: Yes, intelligence helps to reach Stage Yellow, but other factors are involved.

    . they wanna puke, and call it crazy that i wanna go meditate with monks, that i dont care about money, that im deluded, and such n such n bullcrap. My favorite i hear is "you should accept jesus as your lord and savior instead" then they get mad that i chuckle.

    You didn't drink the same Kool-Aid they drank, and they're taking it as a personal rejection -- so they're reacting with the same intensity as a spurned lover. I typically avoid these people when it happens.

    The rejection is not about religion. I get a similar reaction when I tell divorced people I've never been married. They start acting with the same intensity as if I was the person who divorced them. It would be ludicrous if their reactions were not so scary.

    Leo has a bachelor's degree in philosophy, but not all of us are able or willing to go back to school to get a philosophy degree. There is a philosophy section of Leo's book list, but what about a list (or advice about creating a personal list) for those who want to start from the beginning and perhaps go more advanced than the typical college degree program in philosophy?

    I looked at the philosophy program at my alma mater's undergraduate catalog, and it was a little too general and trying to be a little too "woke" to hit the complex issues. I did look at MIT's Linguistics and Philosophy department, and I may follow those courses. Still, I would appreciate Leo's input since he has a philosophy degree and figured out how to use his degree in the real world as a "philosophical entrepreneur."

    Yes, I'm just an idiot without a nuanced worldview, what gave it away? :D

    For the record, I'm _NOT_ against vaccines. I'm against 1) guilt-shaming others into taking vaccines and 2) acting as if putting a pharmaceutical into your body doesn't come with a set of risks. As long as those are satisfied I have 0 arguments against anything.

    Yes, you're one of the more intelligent trolls I've come across.

    Amazon’s “Cinderella,” 2021. It's marketed as being very “woke,” but it seems to be a Stage Orange Cinderella fighting a Stage Blue society, with nods to Stage Green such as a non-binary fairy godmother. I found it painful to watch, but my spiral dynamics analysis got me through the film. Three of five stars for educational purposes. https://www.amazon.com/Cinderella-Camila-Cabello/dp/B097YYZ87F

    It's hard not to be biased against suffering and pain though. Because it inherently feels just terrible-_- Science or God doesn't tell us that suffering and pain is bad but it feels bad and therefore it is bad. That's what bad means.

     

    People who don't feel physical pain often die in childhood from untreated injuries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain

    Feeling physical pain is a bias towards survival.

    Hi, my sister has contracted covid 19 and I read Leo's blog post that it would be beneficial to take supplements. Is there any that have worked for you and helped reduce the symptoms of covid? Thanks in advance 

    Supplements are great BEFORE you catch covid, but if your sister is unvaccinated and is showing symptoms, it's too late for all of that. It's time to get some Regeneron: https://www.regeneron.com/covid19

    I recommended Regeneron to someone in a similar situation, and it probably saved their and their significant others’ lives. 

    I'm vaccinated, by the way, and I want to prevent as many covid deaths as possible. I live in a high transmission area and have lost several people to the disease.
