@Nemra women's sportswear.... Don't get me started. The argument goes ... 'it's comfortable, and functional for the gym' I'm sorry. What do girls do when they get home? Do they lounge around in their comfy skin tight, shapewear, revealing gym uniform with makeup on? Or do they whip off bras, take off makeup, tie hair up and get into oversized cotton t-shirts/hoodies and loose pants? And mark my words many, many chicks have makeup on in the gym... 'no makeup' makeup. I'm all for girlies doing as they please. But let's not pretend here.

I sense you might need to hear this: as well. And maybe spirituality wriggling out of a self won't help.

Of course, I never denied or negated any of that. That was never my argument. Were you trying to personally give me some advice here, and in your original comment to me? The thing is, the very thing you preach 'if only you knew me' applies here too. If only you knew me, you would know I am all about the above quotation. But I also love me some Machiavellian humour in witnessing the hubris of another. I have mirth 😃 I never assumed you were judging me, just making a statement on projection and human nature in general. I observe this is the second time you have stated this in reply to me. So it sure feels personal. Feel free to correct me. I meant no offense to you at all.

Just assumptions - and see, this is why I laugh at myself and Russell! Everyone so serious! You might need a laugh too 😃

Notice that you judge me also and this is its own form of virtue signalling. I didn't take anything personally. Nothing was personal toward you.

No one did. They read the comments and comment on the comments bringing their own context. Love it.

Yep, me too. Always founded on assumptions. Sometimes true, sometimes not. In this case I simply see crazy self-serving behaviour and it makes me laugh. Shit for which I laugh at myself also

The act (in this context!!!!!) is operating outside integrity - he doesn't believe any of the new beliefs he is trying on for size. His actions and his inner world do not align. He merely adopts them as a virtue signal, or 'get out of jail' free card. They are farces that will be thrown away if they do not serve a use or purpose. Perhaps a jury with sympathise.

Crowds. Mass panic situations and crowd crushing come to mind. And mindless crowds/gangs of people on sidewalks with no situational awareness, all relying on each other to look out. No one does. They block all paths. Lovely! Also, custom number plates in special letters to signal status.

I mean, yeah he is suffering. I feel bad for anyones suffering. But his behaviour is to be rebuked. I'll always laugh my arse off at the hubris and arrogance of someone who is so stupid they honestly think they can fool anyone with such an act!

Story of my stepdad. Criminally charged and incarcerated in maximum security prison. ...deadass found Jesus

Pure virtue signalling and using the blanket of religion to attempt to redeem himself 🤣

Replying again to this one - I always considered the effects hormonally of sex without a condom, and what the woman being on the pill might do transmission wise, hormonally. I personally cannot take any form of oral contraceptive. The effects it had on my personality were... absolutely bizarre.

My comments were just in general and not personal.

Cheers - but is airbourne transmition less potent? Despite being faster, that is...

@integral Are you attributing all of these contaminants to JUST inhaling? What about skin absorption? I mainly ask because while pt.1 can be inhaled, if I am not mistaken, it is skin to skin that hormones are exchanged. Predominantly. I suppose skin absorption adds another layer of horror to your chemical hazard escapades

Every statement is a confession.... >.> <.< @enchanted Yep! People love to give themselves over to authority. It provides certainty. The brain loves certainty as a function of survival. Sad, as Leo constantly reminds us not to take anything he says as truth. Test it and check it for ourselves. Yet, again and again, followers jump to the beat of Leo's drum. I think many followers also approval seek with Leo, and are so desperate to feel valid they do not question enough.

I should have worded it better - unhealthy types perceive those dudes as 'boring'. But they aren't, it's just that women with attachment issues cannot recognise healthy love so they dismiss it. This is also a heavy function of maturity in general. Young women... These days. I simply don't understand them. They are being brainwashed by extreme feminism in the algorithm just as men are falling into red pill....

Totally cool 😃 I'm so very sorry you suffered that. I have been blessed to never be abused sexually. I can never know the pain it has caused you 🙏🏻

@Rafael Thundercat no one is doing what this transcript suggests.

In general women with attachment issues are attracted to the fun charismatic guy, or men with dark triad traits. It isn't as clear cut as put above. Goes for both sexes. Securly attached women (or people) will be attracted to the 'boring' dude. Other types of women don't have a healthy idea of what love is, so mistake other traits for it and self filter out the best, healthiest men. The same goes for men also. If I am not mistaken approx 30% of the population has secure attachment. A lot of red pill and pickup relies on attraction techniques that only attract women with these trends of issues with attachment. It effectively filters out healthy women - leading to confirmation bias this is 'what women are attacted to'. In reality, it's not as simple or clear cut.

Great read, thanks for sharing. @Basman the longer a cognitive bias is present the more embedded it becomes. The bias is feeding a belief founded on feeling and emotion, repetition & reward. And like you raised, it becomes a cognitive shortcut that never gets challenged. Shame is usually a key driver, but these sorts of thinking patterns also serve a sense of competence, belonging and control. The shame factor comes into it when the belief is tied to an identity that makes being wrong feel being being 'less'. Which is a threat. And threat management is probably the dominant driver once identity is involved like this....

It's gonna be GoDmAXxING and tRiPMaXXiNG next - end me now

@Miguel1 I suspect there could be some jestermaxxing in @Questioning Mark's post

Just because I intellectually and cognitively understand and empathise with a pedophile, does not mean I risk my own morals of the matter. It is a detached understanding . Different to affective and feeling empathy - where we feel for another's suffering without the understating. Real power is mastering the two axis' of empathy, and not getting swept up into moral judgement, but understanding it.
