  1. Not necessarily could just mean rich parents or "wrong" priorities. But it doesn’t matter anyway do whatever you like obviously.
  2. There is no doer really there is seemingly no or almost no free will. So i highly doubt that you can decide anything really.
  3. So who’s going to be our John Connor for the resistance?
  4. Well maybe for less deep and non sensitive people it’s easy. Buddha said life is suffering. Trump probably doesn’t suffer much. You’re maybe more of Trump and i’m more of a Buddha nahmean? whatever just kidding.
  5. Nice. And who will pay the wages of those people who lost the jobs? universal basic income?
  6. Well maybe. Maybe it’s also because "a person" is trying to control stuff that can’t be controlled. Or maybe for other reasons. Or maybe for no reason. It’s unknowable anyway.
  7. Yes but even the pressure to feel free and get to freedom is a pressure. Then one day you feel free the next constricted and then you’re pressuring yourself. Also the pressure we put on other people to be and act a certain way and do things for us. I guess it’s different for everyone but for me the pressure i put on myself and others has always been quite high. Just apparently, allegedly maybe it’s just energetic or whatever.
  8. Cars are like the worst investment in terms of depreciation compared to a rolex or whatever. Also who are you going to show off to? Nobody cares about your car. Buy a small kia piccanto and you’re fine. I mean if cars are your thing fine. But just to show off?
  9. I’d rather have a Rolex day date, presidential, sky dweller etc. than an african or hawaiian mask for sure.
  10. That’s why i said maybe not specifically a Rolex but another swiss luxury wtch can just be appreciated as a nice piece. I can appreciate a rolex for it’s looks, mechanics and history. But i wouldn’t want one because its just the watch that every braggadocious guy and drug dealer etc had.
  11. I did have a rice cooker already over 15 yrs ago. Grains do taste good.
  12. Well i think for luxury swiss watches or whatever there is also the factor of appreciating the piece in terms of mechanical engineering and beauty, durability, history etc. Maybe less so a Rolex than compared to maybe a Patek or whatever but still. Also recently it’s a decent investment.
  13. That grains taste horrible and 16 of your american weight make 1 delicious thing was mostly a joke. But then i went on to talk about gut issues and such but you guys seemingly only read what you want to see.
  14. Well have you looked into no duality? Maybe it’s true. And if there’s no free will your psychology and Jungian concepts seemingly mostly collapse.
  15. I don’t have values. There is no me really to have anything. I don’t own anything. there checkmated.
  16. Well i don’t have free will to feel sorry for the cow or not.
  17. Well they do taste great for sure. For example lamb is so delicious but because it’s so cute i try to only eat it like twice a year. I once heard a comedian make the point that you wouldn’t want a lion to feel guilty about eating you, at least he should enjoy it. Same with humans eating cows, it’s weak to eat it while being sorry for the cow and it helps nobody. Now you’re killing animals and don’t even enjoy eating them. Better fully enjoy it. But anyhow i don’t believe in free will anyway so it’s whatever.
  18. Well it’s also that i have some gut issues and meat is one of the proteins that are healthy ish and available for me. I don’t do well with chickpeas and eggs for example. So i mostly prioritise my well being over others. But i would be in favour of banning most factory farming etc.
  19. Well it depends how i look at it. I can look at it from many different angles. Generally it’s sad to see these animals suffer. But i’m hoping for lab meat soon.
  20. Yea but grain isn’t delicious. So 16 (of whatever weird american unit way to measure weight) makes 1 of delish.
  21. It’s not just western. Russia for example has a very high suicide rate even among young females i think. And not just attempts but success. And many European countries are very safe and have very low school/shootings/killings etc.
