    @PurpleTree You're making a correlation between people pleasing and wanting to make others feel comfortable. They don't necessarily have to be connected. I'd say you're a natural, just a little insecure about your skills.

     

    well it often seems to come from a place of trying to get somebody to like me, rather a place of lack than abundance and free sharing

    Then later Saw this couple in public transport i know. And she asked me what i did in the city. At first i had the irge to say some stuff but then i just said “nothing i was just in the city, you?” And she said she got some tattoos and stuff

    so here i fought against the urge to say something entertaining and it was nice and i was proud

    I often have this egoic urge to say something funny when i meet somebody

    it comes from a people pleasing energy and wanting to make others feel comfortable, cut through the pressure of awkward silence, control the environment etc

    for example today the weather was horrible, so i already knew if i see someone i know i’ll say something like “enjoying the good weather i see” which i did and the guy laughed

    then later i saw a guy whom i know and his gf leaving a steak house, and i said “having a little steak eh was it good”? And he was like “yea having a little steak it was nice”

    then one guy with a thinner jacket than mine i told him he should get a thicker fluffier jacket.

    the urge so say something is quite strong, maybe i should just remain silent. But won’t then the people throw rocks at me?

       Not limited to gangsta rap and rap culture, but black culture and Ebonics and how as a culture it evolved throughout history, starting from Scotland to then migrate to the southern states where hillbilly and cracker culture permeates, and that machismo and bravado then travels northwards:

     

    Well even in europe.

    i’m no german but i understand german and know their rap scene. Most (gangsta) rappers there aren’t black but mostly arabs, some germans, turks, balkans, some russians etc

    and for sure it influences kids in a bad way

    it’s wild though people like 50 cent who is mostly straight edge and doesn’t do drugs or drinks but he raps about it and then kids listen to it

    i do think gansta rap helps to turn kids into materialistic superficial retards

    @PurpleTree Ive lived in a developed country with a very strong Muslim community.  They naturally drift away from radical ideas.

    The news is propagating Islamophobia because in their religion is a sin to hoard cash and keep it for yourself in excess.  Their religion is closer to socialism and communism.  That's why the west unknowingly hates Islam. In contrast the Jews are the polar opposite to Islam, this is why they cant start eachother... The irony is they don't even know why.  Both groups do a great job sticking together and have no idea how similar they are from each other.  Despite of the low number of Jews there are in most places their ability to stick together better than any other race, this is why they are so successful in everything.  This makes Jewish people more paranoid because they feel the whole world will gang up against them once people realize how good they are at working together.  

    lol

    @PurpleTree So does spirituality.  For every terrorist act with a riffle, there is a drone strike with a larger foot print of destruction.  Ultimately it is love that will gather people together.  Something science does have a good history of doing.  Some kind of healthy balance needs to be achieved, the Sam Harris atheist movement has belittled ideas like compassion.  

    All it takes is a virus in a lab or an AI that can nuke us all to wipe out all of life.  As far as religion goes, as people start to develop out of survival, the more they will see thru all the bad ideas and concepts of religion.  

    alright that’s your opinion 

    i think islam is holding people back much more generally 

    i‘ve seen leos video on „scientism“ though and also heard other people talk about it

    If you are talking about being more conscious and understanding that we are not made of matter, yes.  
    The ego manufactured progress so science is the best at it which is why the world is so hung up on it.  

    Science creates blind spots and people take what science says at face value.  At least in religion, deep down inside people will question it internally.  

    The greatest lies are always unseen and the ego manufactured itself to hide the truth from you.  There is no science that can bring people to the truth

    Doesn’t science say we’re made up of weird stuff like atoms/quarks and mostly empty space not just „matter“ and advocates for things like meditation?
