This one thing in particular I love about Leo. He is bro'ing you. That's the coolest thing a teacher could do if you ask me. It's a feature, not a bug. Other teachers treat you like a baby, Leo treats you like a bro and as an equal.

That's just more mind. Not my thing. Sorry.

I proposed that question to highlight a different truth. To me, there's no dilemma because there's no morality to being with. We create our moral codes and then give them authority over our lives. That's what the mind always does. It creates problems that it cannot solve. Discard the mind, and there will be no problems. Simple as that.

There is also absolutely no reason why I can or should feed a basket of puppies either. If I chose to ignore them and let them die, would that make me Good?

Simply because murderers die faster or get locked up, thanks to the collective. So, you don't see people walking around killing each other exactly because of that system/status quo, and you follow the status quo because it's difficult to go against the stream. We are chimps, and we copycat each other. The less criminals there are out there, the less likely anyone else will become a criminal. Crime rates are getting less and less because of the stability that is provided by the collective. Positive feedback loop.

@ivory I could live alone for eternity and not be bothered by it. Only if I had enough resources.

You can wish to not be bored again Clairvoyance, or perhaps more precisely, knowledge of the past and future, all of them.

Most people think they are inside the body, not the body itself. And some people think they are not the body. So everyone agrees that they are not the body. What they disagree about is the location of the observer or the sentience and whether it exists or not, more precisely, people disagree about their existential nature.

Because it feels different. It is advertized a lot. It makes you vulnerable. From within the materialist paradigm, yes it is.

You do have a cute smile though. I saw your profile picture once and it was spectacular I can recall it from memory anytime I want. So maybe use it more, and make sure you show your teeth, cuz they look amazing.

Look what I've found! Another Easter Egg! Translation: Rule number 520: "Don't go around chasing butterflies. Fix your garden, and let all the butterflies come to you." I've found this calligraphy (very popular for tombstones) two hours ago during walking meditation. It was written on a block near the railroad. My life has always been rich of Easter Eggs, sometimes even really unpleasant ones, but still. At the first sight, I was surprised to see that quote. It says rule number 520 so I assumed it would be one of the rules of love, from the book "The 40 Rules Of Love", which is a modern novel written by a female writer I don't recall her name, that talks about Rumi and Shams Tabrizi, which were Sufis and in love with each other. Shams was a Sufi wanderer, and Rumi (before Shams) was a logical Islamic figure and a religious leader (Imam). Shams taught Rumi about Sufism and thus they fell in divine love together. Shams said it was destined and he was only simply following God's orders. Anyway, I did a quick search, and turns out it's not one of the rules. It's not from the book. It's just a random quote. The reason why this is a special thing is because it's very rare to find such things. It's the first time I've ever seen a calligraphy in the streets. It's always just stupid graffitis that have no sense of creativity, not even colors. Just black graffitis, sometimes preceded by a hashtag sign. And that's it. So, I'm assuming it's been written by someone who has got recently dumped, and was trying to move on. The calligraphy though is interesting. He/she expressed themselves in an artistic way. Or maybe I'm assuming much. Maybe it's just someone practicing or showing off calligraphy and happened to use that block as a canvas. It's not perfectly written and has obvious flaws, so I favor the second possibility. Someone was practicing. Nice try God, next time surprise me with something different.

That's deep ??

The shyest girls are the naughtiest on the inside (hence the hottest in bed ), unless she's cold. Shyness is a very attractive feminine trait. It gives the masculine energy the space to manifest and dominate freely. It shows how compliant, yet at the same time naughty, a girl is, in a very sexy way. Vulnerability. It's like the biggest sign on the hook-up highway. I'm guessing the reason why you're not approached a lot is probably because you're not giving off the signals. There are certain dynamics for girls to make guys approach. Could be a smile or eye contact or something else depending on the situation. It's a hunting process, and if you don't offer your lure, then what do you expect?

You can stop thinking about it and just work for no particular reason or purpose other than killing time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus "The origins of viruses in the evolutionary history of life are unclear: some may have evolved from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from bacteria."

Understandable. It's interesting to see it put this way. I'm guessing for him, it probably seems like quite the opposite. But since you've already set your mind on this thing, it's pointless to keep trying to talk you out of it. I didn't like the political subforum in the first place anyway.

I was trying to understand @DrewNows's perspective. Maybe that's what the raising vibration thing is all about because from that point of view it makes perfect sense.

Not that they don't exist, but it's debatable where they come from. One theory suggests that they come from the body itself, not from the environment. And the difference between viruses would be due to the different external forces that make the body release those viruses in response to the environment. So, in this case, the immune system is the biggest factor and distancing oneself from toxic mental environments, such as ones full of fear mongering, would be the best way to protect oneself.

Absolute beauty is another topic entirely though. But yeah I see your point, and I myself am a little bit shaky on the impermanence thing, but how would I ever know? Suppose I lived 10 years in peace of mind, how can I guarantee that would continue to be like that until my death? Another thing to consider is that we should also not disregard the years of suffering and internal conflict that preceded peace of mind. So, maybe peace of mind is not the final state, but just a stepping stone on the path towards something else.

Perhaps the guy isn't well informed about these topics. I myself have seen different microbe species directly under the microscope a few years ago. But viruses are still in theory land until now as far as I know. That's why there's no cure for viral infections btw. But anyway, I don't believe his ultimate point was to deny these things, he was more focused on the importance of the immune system and raising vibration which is popular within energetic kind of narratives. I don't really see that worthy of banning, perhaps a warning would have been enough. The guy was never a troll. And if he's not distorting people's views on the forum (since I saw no one agreed with his views even though he's been like that for a while, so it feels more like healthy challenging of the mainstream narrative), then he's probably just working his stuff out, and imo the forum is a good place for that. Just don't take it seriously as long as it's not causing harm.
