You need to value both health and money. It is not one or the other. In some cases even, you won't have health without money. This is a symbiotic wholistic concept. In addition - you WILL need medical assistance at some point in your life. These systems need us to contribute back so we can benefit from them through integrating with society. Give and take. You need to find your own balance. Compromise 🙏

I think of situations like this as domain related intelligence. Someone can be outstanding in a field, and then reveal the most absurd, irrational and unfounded opinion (in a different domain), I am left open-mouthed. I know the person I am speaking to knows how to operate effectively on a few levels. But there is always some aspect that is so crazy, the only thing you CAN do is laugh. You cannot control them. Anger could be the friction felt internally due to this lack of control. It is also prudent to note - you opinions change. One day you might wake up angry at yourself

You have revealed a lot of your circumstances on the forum. I go by what you, yourself, have admitted to. You aren't this fragile little snowflake that will dissolve into uselessness with the hint of a warm breeze. Sorry to be so harsh and blunt, but you need to consider that if you didn't have these concepts running around in your head, they would not be placing extraneous stress on top of your current issues (whatever they may be). The placebo effect is real. Your mind is creating stress through these ideas. You want your circumstances to be not your responsibility - you want to blame everything external. Forget all that and simply focus on what you have the power to change. If you were taking care of everything you need to, you would not be having the experience you are currently. This wild contradiction is at the heart of your repeated cognitive dissonance. I won't bother you any longer with my replies, as I can see the futility of this. Only know, that I want the best for you. And these hard words are a form of compassion and care. x

Those little fuckers are weird. Macropods that have NO fear of humans. Just rock up say hello mode Not like kangaroos, which really terrify me. Half the clips of them look like AI. It is those huge back hunches that give me the fear - when they do that shit standing on their tail, and kick with their legs to gut you? Nightmare fuel.... And their upper bodies are jacked as fuck...

Sorta feeds into Kubrick's sudden death a few days after showing Eyes Wide Shut to Warner Bro's. NB Eyes Wide Shut is about a satanist sex cult

I'm not talking about chronic physical stress, I am talking about life tasks in general. Wholistically taking care of the things you should attend to. Don't overthink it. Forget about glucocorticoid hormones. You don't need to know any of that stuff. Psychosomatic stuff is real. Consider some of this could be mind generated.

@SQAAD keep challenging yourself to increase your capacity to deal with pressure. Small things every day. One extra thing for a week. Slowly. This is how you increase your threshold for stress. Upping your resilience. Don't just give up when you feel stress. This is a natural response of the body pushing you towards something.

You can do it. For sure. I do the above, maybe more exercise and I have to care for my grandmother (97) and run a construction business also. If I can - YOU can 🙏 Do it enough that it becomes a habit. Repeat repeat repeat until you beat it into your nervous system and becomes a habit. A reflex. You won't even think. You will wake up and engage. Practice makes perfect. That's it ! One thing I find powerful; always chain tasks. Never say 'i will do this' it is always 'i will do this, then this'. Slowly chain more and more. Twos go well initially so you aren't overwhelmed.

Never trust a charming person. Charisma is a form of seduction. Immediate red flag for me in business relationships and interpersonal.

I am with you, absolutely. Negation in dyads in particular - great operation to arrive closer to a true/false state. 'Not that' really stops the mind from prematurely closing the loop with a nice sounding concept - which we want to avoid totally. For this reason I enjoy negation type interactions, as I view it as an act of care to prevent me from settling on a false landing! I am mindful not to claim my thoughts with an attachment as well, so I do not feel provoked egoic-ally 'This is my statement, my claim' rather than 'A claim, a statement'.

@Ramasta9 My old man goes there twice a year to relax and reset. But less off beat and more touristy areas. He wants me to go with him, but 'I need you to run the business while I am gone'. Bastard! I love him. It is a lot of responsibility. I only do it so he can relax. If I were to visit, it would be to explore and not for comfort

Even the language he uses - the incel slang - is conformity. Htb, ltb, jester, mog, htn, mtn, chad. All conformity.

I think that is his core issue, but he states otherwise. Over and over again he states he just wants to chad-mode mog. Chasing girls is jester mode etc. A waste of time. He even says it is a form of cope. His favourite word. You have to hate yourself to do the shit he does imo 😂

He is conforming to an entire beauty standard via ratios of facial balance etc (one of many things be is confirming to)

He is not doing it to get girls. He states himself, if you watch his videos, he does this to mog. His aim is to be at the top of the dominance hierarchy via looks, because he argues this is easier than producing something useful to gain wealth/money.

You can't see the conformity in that statement above, alone? Almost everything be does is group think without considering long term consequences.

All statements or positions regarding truth can be a frame. 'the self' is a frame This is why it is bias. And why no self is a thing.

I think you are trying to bring nuance to seeking, but I cannot see anything new being added to the biased nature of humanity. I almost feel like I want to link all the videos on bias and how they expound on this point, but I understand this would be a disservice because you have implied you are touching on something new. The problem is - I view all human seeking having inherent bias. Which is also something Leo talks about so much I sometimes want to punch him lol So this is a form of agreement over and over. I think some of the AI additions have confused the matter, only because AI likes to rotate around to different points that don't always string together in rhythm. More just random shotgun fire of points.

The truth itself (whatever that is) or the path to it?

If you mean to point to 'all seeking carries a frame', well, yes. That is a given

All good then, as the Truth relies on no frame or interpretation I think you make comment on accessing truth. Which I think has been expounded upon. But I cannot remark on the rest of the reply as I am stuck at the prior inquiry regarding terms. I think I return to 'the truth cannot be spoken'. Or perhaps, Truth is not contained in words. Won't stop people trying Mistaking the pointer for the thing itself etc

Explain what you mean by 'orientation toward truth', and 'conceptual frame' ? These are going to mean different things to users. Be sure these two things can be equivocated - to me they are not the same. To me; a frame adds structure to what is seen as a content-full lens, like a set of assumptions/filters that interpret experience. But 'orientation to truth' or 'I want truth' doesn't appear as a structure to reality. I see it as a constraint on inquiry. It could also be viewed as an orientation to falsehood in an effort to reveal and deconstruct. I do understand and agree with the OP. We hunt for feathers, we will find feathers. More feathers than anyone not looking. But I will need to see a really good breakdown of the above 2 terms. Orientation to truth appears to answer questions about evaluation, no? Making this a frame seems like a stretch, as frames answer questions about reality. And therein lies the confusion - a simple difference in understanding of terms might be the issue.

I am very much struggling to get through the verbiage with this one. It did not clarify much for me.
