  1. I think i'm kind of addicted to listening to youtube videos and podcasts I listen to deep stuff but also to very non-deep stuff like interviews from actors, rappers and so on or news sometimes if there is an interesting subject (no covid) Just often find it very entertaining and it does give me joy and quiets my kind of obsessive mind. But maybe trying a week or so without it and trying to read more.
  2. some people find great therapists for me whenever i needed a therapist, i didn't want to go on a long waiting list so i just went to whoever was free, and those are often not that great i think i'll look for a new therapist soon-ish because i want to try some meds, for example racetams which are prescription meds here
  3. Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. Rumi
  4. it's true one time i had to eat a steak after because otherwise i'd have to throw it away and obviously didn't want that and it felt really weird to eat that bloody steak at that time while fruits are delicious
  5. i'm an intergalactic turd and travelling through time my time machine goes brrrrrrrrrrrrr
  6. i think spira is just trying to talk to as many people as possible, same with tolle etc. and if he starts talking a lot about god then many people will get turned off and say see ya
  7. well i'm glad then that i speak multiple languages
  8. so am i reading right that you think every person who got the vaccine is more intelligent than every person who didn't get the vaccine?
  9. what's so much "bigger" in terms of behaviour about something like jealousy, judgemental etc. than racism, unfairness etc.? the murder and rape thing might have been slightly over the top
  10. how to get laid pt 1
  11. never in my life been to a christian talk/mass/event etc. at a church even though i'm from a traditionally christian country
  12. maybe but i think it could also help you with your "trauma" (for the lack of a better word) of your father and so on. but if you ever try it just stay careful and humble.
  13. i deleted my fb account this year because i think it's a shit site/show would i work for fb? probably if i could work there for 50% in a creative department for a great salary
  14. did you ever try the shrooms?
  15. sure but i think many "optimists" for example see the future brighter/less problematic than it might be in terms of environment, global warming, peace, society and so on. you could say wether there is ww3 or not, nuclear apocalypse or not both is good, because everything is "good" because that's the way it is but those optimists think the future is good in the way that there won't be a ww3 or totalitarian state or environmental disaster etc.
  16. you know i've heard that according to "studies" most optimists see the world as almost too good. so that's also a form of delusion but a beautiful one.
  17. it's also a bit of a problem of introverted people who're often alone. because then you might not be enough around people who could tell you/hint at your blind spots
  18. yes exactly. then the question is who is competent enough to tell you about your blind spots but if multiple people say it then it's probably true-ish. i think some people pay coaches/therapists etc. to point those out
  19. i hope not i was actually trying if i can apply that "technique" of owning everything because IF you're god, then you are everything, dream everything, could also in a certain way say own everything if you're not a devil about it it worked a little bit gave a little placebo of confidence but not great, it's probably a feeling that you have to grow up with or learn over a long period of time and really ingrain, than just hear in a video and try to apply it
  20. i wonder what happened to the pakistani guy you talked about in the first episode who thought he owns everything probably got married
  21. personally i do have preferences. i was saying i don't mind if someone else also has their preferences. like why would i get mad/sad etc. if someone likes strawberry ice cream more than pistachio ice cream, even though pistachio is clearly superior. but i do hope as i get more conscious that i'll have less preferences etc.
