I'd say it was entertaining but nothing ground-breaking. Its not the sort of cerebral skull-fuck of philosophy that most users crave More like philosophy with padded punches

It must be experienced 🌱

@Xonas Pitfall 🏁🎯⛳

You would be surprised just how some normal humans cannot handle this. They are so repressed and stuck in the rat wheel, that stopping all stimulation for 20 minutes to breath causes a lot of emotional shit to come up and overwhelm them. In fact it is openly known meditation is not recommended if there is any sort of emotional stuff running amok inside. And just about everyone I know is so repressed...

Hell yeah I am looking forward to this. Balls to the wall

Do you feel like you are wasting time? I have been through phases of this feeling in life. I got to the point where I realised 'why am I fine wasting time trolling people or gaming, but I am not fine wasting time working?' The difference was I couldn't bare the thought of disappointed or not being enough. Not on the time wasted. Not on meaninglessness. I decided I was okay with wasting time building shit even if the money meant nothing and I didn't successfully build anything. I just sort of - snapped. Anyway I don't have any advice, other than my story. ❤️🌱

The curdled stench of conspiracy, hearsay & fantasy

Muahahaha Annunaki !

This always has me intrigued. John Anthony West & Robert Schoch are the major proponents I believe.

So have some integrity and take it up with Leo. Stop with the drama. Stop with the petty games. Stop trying to have the last word. I'm locking this.

Honestly - to me - and I don't speak for the moderating team this is just my opinion: The insight reads to me like a lot of intellectualizing away the bad feeling of lashing out and losing self control. It genuinely appears like you coping by twisting the interaction to fit some philosophical frame. The barber did you wrong - ok. But that does not mean retaliating is needed in such an extreme way. It is possible to assert yourself without blasphemy. I can think of many other higher conscious ways to deal with the situation. And no I will not list them because if you are doing the work they are obvious. The reaction you had is not reflective of any sort of higher self or ego integration.

Oh ho ho watch the opinions of the users wielding pitchforks coming at you 💃💃💃💃💀

That's what he's after 😇 'my competitor is Jesus' - BJ

Yes - because as I said they do not require their belief systems align - that is not a high value for them. If it were a top value that each share the others belief the relationship would dissolve. They have some values that are higher to them that do align that bring them together in a loving relationship. You can have individual personal values YOU adhere to - but what you require and value from a partner can be completely different. I don't know how to express this any clearer.

So once again you are misunderstanding the topic. The above signifies they have personal values that mean they do not require their partner to share their belief system. So 'having the same belief system' is not a high value, or value at all.

@AION Much of your ideas lean toward red pill. But a discussion for another time. You do realize you value 'growing together' yes? And you would prioritize a partner that also has that value? Just an example of where you might be missing the broad nature of values alignment.

Again, as I said, that is a particular life stage you are at. I was there also - and it is necessary to learn what you value. This is also why I raised it might be difficult to understand given the fact I have a lot more experience within relationships. I am almost 40. I spoke about having and knowing values - not about what they were. So you don't know my standands and if they are high or not. This is your assumption and what you are looking for. Cognitive bias - and you have this because it feeds your red pill ideology that women's standards are too high. But you know nothing regarding my standards Feelings always come into it. Haven't you heard the phrase 'Sometimes love is not enough?'

And being attracted or finding older women attractive may not even happen - one of my exes is in his 60s and he has never been attracted to older women. He was always going for 30-40 year old age range. And then some dudes report they aren't attracted to younger people because they seem like 'pups', and they have always been attracted to women in their age range as they have aged up. But the fact you are an extravert is a huge benefit. You will run into someone

No one is suggesting you tell someone else what they should value - and I think this is a mistake. It is all about being conscious of your values and having good clarity around self awareness. As you get older and more mature, and you know what you want, you naturally become less accommodating to tolerating a value misalignment that is a non-negotiable. There are always many, many people who will have values crossover. This advice might sound unfeeling to less mature people who are at younger life stages. But it is not. It is honest. And about not wasting someone's time. Having the maturity in wanting to build a long term future with a partner, rather than a feeling laden fling. Relationships always entail sacrifice - but when values align a lot of the little things matter less and love can bloom in a healthy, mature way. You willingly sacrifice, surrender. The bond is stronger and deeper because it is built on the integrity of honesty. Keeping that honesty is integral as what we value changes as you pass through different life stages.

I think Bernardo really attempted to make it clear science is not incompatible with his view. And he spent a bit of time on it. But then he states 'everything is mind' and I do not recall him actually going in depth into what he means there. That would confuse the fuck out of viewers, and cause materialists to dry retch. So, you end up with a cesspool of tik tok philosophers who think they can even touch on the topic at a surface level. There is a serious lack of thought with the comments. Half of them stand on the wonky stilts with arguments containing more holes that swiss cheese I expected Alex to push back a bit more. I actually got the vibe this was an appeal to normies.

Honestly, I do not know... maybe it's just a change of address? I am looking forward to the experience of it. I do not fear it. I fear the dying process (pain etc), but not death. Fear of pain is something I cannot shake.

Ha ha ha! Didn't even get past the preliminaries to the contract stage

It is very useful to be aware of what you will compromise on - and what you will not. I have found in the past some of my values I am willing to be slightly looser with, if the guy is a sweet match. I sort my values into: absolute non-negotiable - willing to accommodate/compromise - no preference. Sometimes you just don't know until you are presented with a value clash. Which is why it is essential to know yourself & what you want prior to a serious, committed, relationship. This also ties back to being just... high consciousness. Values can also change, but typically your top values remain static.

Yep 😊 Tbh the only reason soccer and rugby are differentiated here is due to AFL - it uses the same ball shape as rugby but a different game entirely. I wouldn't expect anyone but locals to be into it

No rugby is rugby. Soccer is soccer. Football is football. THE ISNESS it b real. But in all seriousness in Australia, football is its own seperate thing to soccer and rugby.
