btw. nothing against my generation i love them all and i enjoy being sensitive although it can be really annoying

yea i think so. but when did they start recording numbers of depressed ppl? like 40 yrs ago? maybe these statistics are also making us more anxious homo sapiens sapiens have been here for around 150k yrs? but you're from russia (like leo) there i think you can extremely see the differences between generations (never been there though) one came out of the soviet union and is hardened and the new generation is probably flabby and sick like in the west?

our generation is more like ayyyeee i think a face tat would be a great idea

the generations before us, seems like they worked, had children, they did complain sometimes and were traumatized but they still went on etc etc. and with us it's more like "oh i'm sensitive" "i'm so fatigued" "hmmm work is not for me yolo" "i'm depressed stop hurting my feeling" " i want to follow my dreams" "i'd like to do it but i'm a bit anxious" "moms help me" "i want to find myself"

it's cute and funny when it happens though like "i'm not afraid of death, it's just an illusion" you think you get a heart attack or something and then it's more like "oh no pls don't take me this time, i'll be even more loving and live a better life i promise"

i also mean slow as in for example cancer which can take months or years

yea we're still wired like hunter gatherers who have to be on the lookout all the time some of us more than others

someone could also say that all your depression etc. is "just a delusion" really? nah i don't think i would

it's funny because i was thinking about that when this pandemic and vaccination started that in a worst case scenario it could muddy the connection to self or consciousness glad that's not the case for the people who replied here

it's so interesting how some people are mostly optimistic while others are pessimistic i think i've read somewhere that a big part of it is genetics

here's another question would you rather go fast, or go slooow? or it doesn't matter either way?

Surely there can many delusional insights and visions etc.?

how do you know that?

goat sex = greatest of all time

sometimes i trick myself and think i'm not afraid but then when i get heart arrythmias or palpitations and then i think nooo pls don't let me die like that or when i used to get in strong turbulences on a plane i'd also think don't take me out like that god, i'll become better if you let me live (even though i've never been religious) haven't been on a plane with turbulences for a long time now so not sure how i'd react now i'm also afraid of weird accidents and heart attacks apparently hurt a lot

Or has anybody overcome it? I've had that since very young and it's a very stubborn and sticky feeling which gets triggered pretty easily. It's often a feeling of not being wanted to be in a certain place or with certain people this creates shame. But it could also be triggered just walking through the city and be "seen" maybe a part of me is afraid that people could see something in me that they don't like but i'm not even sure what it is. Then sometimes i use a mantra like "god wants you to be here" etc. and sometimes it helps and sometimes not.

microdosing has often/sometimes caused anxiety in a friend of me and also made it almost impossible to sleep for him that night, so i'm not sure if it's the right way, he could try it again though.

a tough read because it's triggering shame etc. or because it's complicated to read? well i'm not sure how to answer that

haha yea i love that word, it's funny i tend to agree with you here. this just seems like another form of "tribalism" frank yang i haven't seen too much of his stuff, on one hand i find him inspiring because he's also really fit and a good violin player etc. and goes deep in on the consciousness stuff he's smiling too much though, is he laughing at us, is he trying to portray a happy enlightened guy or is he just happy? <--this isn't so serious

everything's just a perspective but i guess we can all agree that slavery was very damaging for many people and the ripples and traumas are still felt most of us would probably also agree that factory cattle farming is terrible for said animals and we shouldn't do it.

yea many people are losing their marbles for sure still pretty interesting times though

nah that sounds too cultish

well they want you to buy their "stuff" and if you don't need their stuff to be happy then they have a problem

maybe because of the mass suicides by cults which happened a few times also i do think that there are powerful people who'd rather have a lot of people ignorant than enlightened <- not saying this is true btw

also don't give people 100 yrs jail time, that's nuts i think the max here is 20 yrs
