  1. Meaning what is it? Do you know Viktor Frankl Men’s search for meaning? This is PurpleTree’s search out of meaning. Meaning is exhausting. I used to think everything has meaning. It was silly.
  2. I remember when i was a child. I always wanted these action figures like robocop, turtles but especially batman. I would attach so much meaning to these dumb figures like my life would get much better if i had them. And if i didn’t have them i couldn’t be happy. And i would try to guilt trip my mother into buying them.
  3. 1-10 10 being the best Did the Universe/God/Yourself drop you in a good spot? I live in a small-ish western European country. I would give it a 9 probably. Beautiful, democratic, free, safe. The family i was born in could have been better because i basically only have a single mother. Grandparents died young and so on. And i think this is one of the biggest problems of the west. Small families, very individualistic lifestyle.
  4. It’s quite subtle but there are goals in everything. For example people pleasing = having relationships, being liked, being safe and so on. Looking cute = being liked, getting attention, being safe and so on. Being seen as a victim = getting sympathy, being liked, being safe. And of course this is all very innocent but in a way it also seemingly strengthens the structure of self through time and projecting into the future and so on.
  5. Well no because you don’t really have free will to do anything.
  6. It’s s good poster here more underachievers
  7. Before fruit nonduality after fruit duality, knowledge and suffering.
  8. Yea maybe because they don’t know the concept of avatar and don’t use that word. There are also different kinds of Christians, maybe gnostics saw it that way. But who knows i don’t really care about any religion either way.
  9. You have a lot of „knowledge" Who holds all that knowledge?
  10. I thought on a lower level they’re polytheistic but on a higher level all gods are an avatar of the same one god brahman the ultimate reality. They also have the trinity with brahma, vishnu, shiva. The problem with hinduism is that probably many religions came together over the course of centuries or millennia so stories meanings and gods change somewhat. Similar to Egyptian deities. And in a way you could say jesus in an avatar of the ultimate god probably.
  11. You’re wording it wrong. Maybe you could also say. Russia is such a hell hole. Such an abomination of humanity. Such a shithole country. That many Russians rather go to Ukraine to get blown to pieces by Bayraktar drones than to stay there. While we in the west have something to live for.
  12. Most interactions with others have goals like establishing a hierarchy or getting something from the other person. Getting better, becoming a better person. But the one having all those goals is maybe just a mirage, so what if there are no goals actually?
  13. I mean Russia in a way is fighting for its existence. Remembering glory days. Fighting against becoming irrelevant. A bit like Maga. But in a way the fight seems hopeless because of demographics etc. And now a war with a lot of casualties. Russia has to be autocratic to keep the Chechens etc. in line but there could always be a rebellion.
  14. Sure but now with the rise of China, Russia has a new shot with BricS the global south and stuff. Also Russia has perfected propaganda and is undermining western countries with supporting far right parties anti EU parties, brexit and so on. They thrive in confusion i feel.
  15. What Russia wants? I don’t know. Maybe more Vodka, more Sputnik, more Blini with Caviar and more of that funny dance where go down. Also did you know Tetris is Russian? but also maybe they want to stop US hegemony and having more influence themselves.
  16. I think it’s possible or quite likely that Maga and right wingers in the US go from very pro Israel to anti Israel or even antisemitism.
  17. Hope seems like a very helpful thing. It seemingly keeps many people alive and whatever with a hope for a better future. It can also be „bad“ in the story. Like a woman staying with a violent guy in hope he will change. Sometimes it’s better to lose all hope. Hope can keep us trapped in fantasy stories and time.
  18. Gosh Jen Shmuckiro is getting destroyed in his own comments section. I haven’t even watched the video.
  19. Huge explosion in russian ammunition depot. russias 3 days special military operation is going great but here’s a question, which channels are the least biased in terms of reporting losses/gains on either side in your opinion?
