This is going on the opposite direction of personal development.

Is there something we can do for you?

That sounds an interesting avenue to move into.... But good! Assessing existential morals and ethics as they apply to reality. But is that possibly seeking meaning, or how we ought to act? Looking for greater meaning can sometimes be missing the point... Time will reveal all when it is released 😁 Some of the answers would probably lead to Chernobyl levels of brain meltdown

ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ Was it a ton of questions, or flow-like stream of consciousness dialogue that went spanned the topics naturally? I love it when spirituality dovetails and flows with some of the higher aspects of theoretical science. I am looking forward to this. Blog posts and videos are great, but it is always nice to see how you respond to prompts and dialogue. It reveals things from a different perspective. Thank you 😊

Unfortunately, life isn't as simple as a vending machine where you put coins in and the goods come out. That doesn't mean hard & good work doesn't pay; more that fairness isn't built in. Sometimes you do everything right, and nothing good happens. And sometimes, good does happen! Sometimes you do everything wrong and good happens. And sometimes, bad happens. This can be a hard lesson to learn if we are immersed in idealogy, or if we are attached to outcome. A lesson we all learn, with time. They key is to not fall into our own tale-of-woe and wallow in self pity.

I hated having to do it 💔 Welcome back, have all forgiveness and love 🙏 I had to quit alcohol. I am a deranged monkey on it

Title of the thread should be changed to 'irrational, misunderstood hatred. Help me out of this mindset' You clearly, desperately want help.

It is because of online dating, apps and much less facilitated contact with each other. An image online or video is the only way to initially assess someone. And attention spans are very short. I think part of the whole metrosexual renaissance (looksmaxxing) is almost like taking a clickbait thumbnail and applying that to a dating profile. Grab attention as fast as possible. Easiest metric for that is glamour. It's the foot in the door these days, especially for men who use dating apps where they outnumber women. It's the extreme ends of the looksmaxxing scale 'hardmaxxing' IE height surgery, jaw surgery, test etc that are the problematic manifestations of it. Many of us grew up without these apps, so it is easy to see that looks are just one part as we have evidence for that in our social lives. Younger generations only have the apps and live in an online world of millisecond attention spans. To them, looks trump almost all. They simply do not have experience to show them how it all really works (social skills etc and all the rest). Explains the rise and momentum behind those such as Clavicular (Breden Peters).

Because the answer got no closer to finding out what is behind an atom. The answers are born of simplicy. Not more concepts and large paragraphs.

@Ramasta9 no sweat, just natural frustration. You talking to a a bunch of addicts 🤣🤣🤣

@theleelajoker lol. Positively laced and dripping with sarcasm 😂 The funny thing is, looksmaxxing isn't new or innovative. It's 'metrosexual' rebranded.

Beg for the gruel

HA HA HA. No but I was serious >.< Also, I have slipped into meditative states on numerous occasions, that reflect this single pointed focus. In normal states my conceptual mind is so embedded up my arse you would need a full excavator/demolition crew to even touch the shit

Liquid courage is the old adage

Maybe it is to see through it, rather than see it

Really? His off-the-cuff speaking voice is whack as shit in terms of modulation. Sometimes he has a bit of word salad and lots of odd repeated phrasing. In addition, his general speaking tone can be VERY emotive. Aggressive, assertive, incredulous. I am all good with that tbh, doesn't stop me, as it reads like passion and conviction. In contrast, his audiobooks (I have listened to them many times) are a lot calmer. Thoughts, word pacing and phrasing is a lot more coherent. I am able to focus on the book in a leaner way that enhances digestion. Often I will return and relisten many times. I really enjoy that the audiobook is narrated by Ralston himself. I do not mind the tonal/pace change at all. If it were narrated by anyone else I would not be so captured. Different strokes ay?

Kinda hard to really engage or take any back-and-forth seriously when it is pure anecdotes, n = 1 experiments, and disregards unique genetics and physiology

Can you see how your answers are somewhat circular? The way you have answered here, prompts me to ask the questions again. As they were not addressed. None of this tells us what an atom is. Or what an atom is made of, and what it is further made of. What is at the 'bottom' so to speak.

What is a field of reality? What is reality? What is a vibration? What is coherence? In your words, how you define them.

@Breakingthewall What is an atom?

Are you afraid of emptiness, nothingness. No-thing? No real words for it. But you know what I point to. Or is it that you feel it is nihilistic? I notice you fear anything cold. Abstract. Empty. You always steer away from it. This would be somewhat limiting your worldview and understanding. due to avoiding a large part of enquiry. The problem with this 'absence of limits' is that that is ONLY how experience shows up. It is not what reality is made of. 'Emptiness' is what experience is MADE of. Experience without a centre.

The only time I am able to clearly separate concept from experience is at the point of orgasm.

Personally, I would prefer the book narrated by yourself, Leo. Over anyone else. Just preference, as you are a good orator. Get good 😈 New skill. Train brain. 😀 You would retch at how I pronounce vowels and consonants. They merge together into one drawl, and aussie accent/slang naturally abbreviates everything into monosyllabic trash

@Ramasta9 I mean yeah I speak from experience. I was chronically low on sodium for years. Doctor recommended upping my salt intake and it was a major turning point in my life. This is why I keep asking for widespread studies or more data. We have no idea if modern humans have adapted to salt. I feel like total shit without it. Can't think. No muscle impulse. Weak. Lightheaded. This was years and years of it prior to supplimenting with salt.

You never know - *I* could be the freaky one. My blood pressure is so low, usually if I am admitted to hospital, or see a GP who is not my regular, they attempt to sit me down and not let me walk around/get up for fear of passing out and hitting my head. I am not joking. I have had a few incidents where I have been restrained/labelled 'non-compliant' due to insisting I am okay and walking / standing. So my low blood pressure is anomalous. Way below what is normal. This is a genetic thing that runs in my family. I have been in emergency and pulled out saline bags because the nurses insist on pumping me so full of it to try to raise BP I end up bloated and ill. So this is the reason I add salt for sodium. I do not know how else to source it in my diet easily through food. I cannot fit much more volume into my diet as it is. And I only weigh 48kg @ 162cm. It is not like I overeat due to my additional salt intake.
