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

Hey with that logic you should rant against the patriarchy. There are *many* male incel shooters that hated women.

@Romanov gotcha. he is tricking the public to a good extent though >the 2017 Trump tax law: Was skewed to the rich. Households with incomes in the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, compared to an average tax cut of less than $500 for households in the bottom 60 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center (TPC).[1] As a share of after-tax income, tax cuts at the top — for both households in the top 1 percent and the top 5 percent — are more than triple the total value of the tax cuts received for people with incomes in the bottom 60 percent. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/the-2017-trump-tax-law-was-skewed-to-the-rich-expensive-and-failed-to-deliver bottom 20% received an average of $80 in tax cuts

how is trump populist? he's big on tax cuts for the wealthy, supports corporate, is anti-union, doesn't care about social programs (repeals them too) or social issues

So basically... republican? (Just jokes 😭)

What did you feel it was lacking?

not sure about the specifics here, but one thing i learned is that most philosophies have their place in some shape or form. in some contexts, a philosophy might be good in extremes, some contexts none at all, and other contexts somewhere in between

Isnt this moreso a trap of stage green rather than green being bad inherently. I think Green can be integrated with healthy orange to my knowledge

Another thing I thought of was that there many factors that contribute, outside of just your age. Things like age, prior foundation, self esteem, mindset, strategy, mental and physical health foundations, # of responsibilities etc. So while I do think age is a factor, if you optimize other areas you can still make extremely significant progress in building skills. I don't think it's as big of an issue if the rest is optimized well Also consider that while elite performers do experience declines, consider that when they decline their skill efficacy may be moving from maybe the top .00001% -> .001% over 10 years

I think to some extent yes, but you have a lot in your control still. People still learn new things when they're older. I know people who first start med school in their mid 30s. Or people pick up weightlifting in their 40s. My dad picked up yoga at 50 and hes quite good at many of the poses and theory (and he was pretty unathletic before). Majority of it is a limiting belief imo

damn. that's some good questioning, nice one
