@Ramanujan There are a lot of caveats with the notion of passion. You kinda have to carve it out. I think you need more than 5 years, because the mind is very stubborn. And you have to do more side work than what a phd can offer you. Also academia can screw your passion too. Passion is inherent to your condition as a human, you can't really avoid it. It is how you're able to get things done. Purpose is more straithtfoward. When you go to the foodmarket you have the purpose of eating.

Mastery is a rare thing. In a 3rd world country is extra rare because you have more survival pressure. But also, the examples on the book are of people of different countries and different times in history. You can't really overlook that. Some of them didn't even have electricity.

Ultimately you want to conform to none other than yourself.

Haiti is a country in the caribbean that shares the same island with the Dominican Republic, but with a very different reality. You can track Haiti's crisis and DR's success by how France and Spain managed each one. Their destiny is linked by its policies on slavery back in the conception. This documentary seems like scenes of a movie, or a very well made fps videogame. You can see how they need to move to blue in the SD.

As long as you're precise you don't run into much problem. What matters is how much you can grasp, how much changes you. Also a single word doesn't make the cut in the majority of cases. You need a thousand of different words to produce a single insight most of the times. Conformity is one of those words. As long as no one makes the effort to understand, the insight lies dormant. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Abiding to rules is a prerequisite for a lot of things in life. A lot of people are confomist zombies precisely because they don't care about rules. But to see that you need the example. You get it from life obviously. Also not every rule is the same. There is a rule to believe only in a Christian God and there is a rule of freedom of religion.

Funny, to me is exactly the oposite. I didn't find any value in 48 lop. Mastery is a book where you can take a peak into different expertise domains, Da Vinci, Jobs, Darwing. I loved that. A lot of useful concepts get ingrained indirectly.

Can you conform to rules but not be a conformist? Think about it. You're twisting words, but in doing so you aren't understanding much. If a word can have any meaning you want that's slop. Slop = noise.

The word "conformity" is not of this forum. You either get what the word points to or you don't.

@Leo Gura Beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

What about green? From what you post I sense you need to integrate more of green. As for me, yes, I do need to achieve financial independence.

Imagine being able to hear dog's language of barks. You would have to transform into a dog to see how they experience life.

Is Buddhism just another way of rationality?

RAADS-R: 56 / 240 from a cutoff of 65 and... CAT-Q: 66 / 175 of a 100+ threshold. But I went through a period of loner wolf though, and that makes you forget a lot of social clues which can make you think you have some sort of personality condition. Now I constantly look for social interactions. Few people consider periods of isolation as a natural thing, for me it was completely normal and necessary. But this kind of pattern is very different from autism. It also feels like I've avoided tons of unnecessary baggage that I see people constantly engaging with. Things that I was carrying before and I learned to operate without it.

This is a good one. A talk on how to let Spirit work through you. Just straight into how Mind constructs your success. The reality transurfing one, the part of the pendulum is good. But then it is just meh, alwasys the same "you repel what you put on a pedestal" stuff. Very cheap stuff.

Probably the best way you can understand it is picturing how babies/kids are attached to their parents. They constantly look for their attention. A dog is like a todler their entire life. Also dogs are blessed with excellent smell. Something to envy.

It is a feature of imagination. An expression of imagination. It is possesing the ability to imagine new things and trying new things without fear. Sometimes I operate on that level, very obvious after psychedelics or meditation for example.

That's a good starting point. But realistically it will take you months to settle some of those routines. And you'll maybe have to go one at a time otherwise it is too overwhelming. But yeah, once you settle some healthy routiness it is pretty much an immovable object.

Very cool read.

For example, I get the sense (I could be wrong) that the reason Poland had to close their borders is because they aren't as developed as some of their neighbors, or they are more poor so their firm isolation was a critical decision.

Europe is super densely poblated, and since it's very developed everyone wants to live there like sperm going to the ovum. So maybe that's an argument. But in your questions you're already assuming they're causing disproportionate damage. Do you actually know that? Maybe most immigrants are occupying the dirty jobs positions no one wants to do? Because your questions are simple to answer if you already understand the problem. But you kinda have to be responsible before using power. And with the cultural thing you fear, I mean culture is an illusion. To a newborn of that developed european nation, they wont distinguish a muslim trait as muslim, they view it as their country.

There has to be an equal effort of integration attempt by both sides. For immigration to be a good thing. If you can't grasp that you're certainly brainwashed!!! That is a serious challenge though. Like strucking a perfect balance. When you walk on the street and hate those immigrants, you're literaly not wanting to integrate them. You should get to the conclusion of them being unable to integrate after you try first.

@Ima Freeman The truth is you don't know how this will impact your country. You assume is a net negative.

If you're at supposedly at red and compose rap, I guess you're either healthy red or in reality blue because you have some basic education to be able to write some kind of lyric. To me the whole rap industry fits more into orange though. Red music seems to be more of a tribal thing, sort of singing a lyric about how you're going to behead your enemies. To prepare you mentally for that. But not to make it big in the rap industry. Those rappers wearing exaggerated ornaments seems to be part of orange. They might write lyrics about gang shootings and that but their lives don't reflect that. They're thinking about being famous.
