Swap the skin colors and see how it sounds > How are you going to tell me what I fear is racist. If I say I fear a black man with a suitcase and a trench coat in an elevator. It just a fear Sounds classic redneck 😭. No hate just saying 😅

Is he pointing to having conscious conversations?

:[

I think yes. Elon Musk has been pushing a lot far-right propaganda and has shown support for fascist leaders through X. A few weeks ago he was trying to normalize and get Tommy Fergurson out of prison, who quite literally was a former leader of a far-right fascist group in the UK lol. He also is pushing for far-right leadership in many european countries.

Me former, everyone else latter. All you need mhm

> that there always come a time where I give up on a certain habit. and then it becomes so much more difficult, than before, to build again. i'd imagine it should be the opposite. each iteration gives you wisdom on the topic and make it easier to implement. like you can gain insight into what worked and didn't work and what to change up for next time though starting up a habit again after you stop can take a decent amount of activation energy , rather than maintaining a pre-existing habit because you need to deal with a change. that could be why you might find it difficult to come back after you drop a habit, however it is completely normal and part of habit changes to deal with that initial resistance

I used to have a mild addiction where id eat out of boredom. for me developing a powerlifting goal helped me to be motivated to eat right and healthy and also gave me things to do. i think it might take several different things outside of just breathing i think. probably a combination of a higher goal that work toward instead & tactics when you get urges i do wonder why this is the case and why this happened. i would assume changing your coping mechanisms to healthier ones should be effective at a first glance. i think figuring out why might help: > The reason of my addiction is boredom but I can't replace it with anything. i would also recommend looking into the field of addiction. it is very well studied. just make sure to find information this is directly applicable for you

trump just did a crypto rug pull worth hundreds of billions on his first day of presidency regarding nazi-ism, maybe watch a World War II documentary with them. I've seen like 30 of those at this point, they can be really effective at ingraining the horrors of Nazism. documentaries paint nazis in a very horrible light (rightfully so ofc) so i think it might sober them up

Not sure if it's been posted already but first day in Trump and Melania run a crypto scam worth hundreds of billions lol HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA this is quite disappointing though. here we have bernie, a dude trying to end billionaires, nearly winning dem primaries and now we got trump who's probably going to severely make the issue worse and benefit the billionaires

@Majed potentially you could find something meaningful within computer science. there is a decent array of career choices within computer science. just a thought

i think it's entirely down to how you respond to hurt. like instead of developing hate or faulty belief systems, using healthy coping mechanisms like mindfulness, processing emotions well, forgiveness exercises, cognitive reframing etc. there's a lot of effective approaches

@jacknine119 nice. Leo has a video on that one too. Very practical book imo

psychology of money is an important one for the mindset aspect of money

not an expert but i'd bet no that's 800(!) calories just from butter btw.

if people are challenging you too much this is probably more-so an exercise with setting boundaries. it's definitely okay not to be open-minded all the time especially if they're making you feel violated being open-minded is supposed to be for growth. if you feel people are attacking you more than you're comfortable with i dont think that's a time to be open-minded. it could be a people pleasing tendency i suspect

I'm probably 35-45% orange and green each. And the rest yellow

@Leo Gura how many hours do you have? 1700 is quite good, it's 96th percentile

@Lyubov pretty much my opinion as well I do wanna say that I think the exploitation claims are vastly blown out of proportion. My dad came to America on an h1b 30 some years ago and he comfortably raised a family of 4 in a high cost of living area. He was also paid equally to the rest of his company. I know many people in this same situation. Not sure how many are actually exploited

Yeah the movement was mega racist, probably the worst I've seen toward indians in America. At least in my lifetime Mix of jealousy, white supremacy and anti-indian sentiment is what it seems like to me

@PurpleTree I did account for being wrong in my comment

Hm not catching the logic. I was exploring a possibility, sometimes unconscious biases come into play. Doesnt have to be true though but I suspect it's the case

For exploration sake, how is your own behavior toward them? Do you think you might be creating a self fulfilling prophecy/confirmation bias? When i am kind i notice most people match my energy, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality. So maybe it could do with that?

I remember reading this one a few years ago https://www.amazon.com/Experience-Insight-Simple-Buddhist-Meditation/dp/1611808162/ref=asc_df_1611808162?mcid=c836bd94a40e3f78b90b92eb75629ccc&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693033695478&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12771427384004161331&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1026515&hvtargid=pla-929917253172&psc=1&dplnkId=a751ee72-5dff-481e-9fad-d576c0593ee0 Very inspiring book on the theory and practice of insight meditation. Damn just reminded me how much gold there is out there

i spent a lot of time developing my ideas and contemplation abilities. i think mine got pretty decent over the years however, i am shifting my focus to being all in on embodiment. i feel like my development and life mastery is 100x more important than the quality of my ideas (while still important). i want max level embodiment essentially a similar focus as me

Sf. I wanna be around the tech bros lol
