@Yimpa Sounds like you're having fun and a bit of orgasm with this new discovery

I just noticed something a bit strange. The member count is too low compared to the guest count. Is this because most guests are actually AI crawlers? Or is there another explanation?

There are infinite dimensions in space. It's not just length, depth, and width. These are just three out of an infinite number of dimensions. Or you could say there aren't really any dimensions, just pure space. Dimensions in this case are the concepts we use to describe space.

At this point, even if I suck your dick you will accuse me of being a vampire, a snake, or a cheap whore

@LordFall Yeah. Thanks for sharing your stories. You made me feel less embarrassed. Technically, it's not my first approach. I have tried approaching a few times in the past and failed, so I didn't stick to it. But practically, I am still at level 0. I have no idea how to start up a conversation and how to lead from there. Once there's rapport, it's no big deal for me. I'm good at relating with the girls I know in general. But just the first blocks, I don't possess the skills for breaking the ice and make quick small talk conversations. And I can't even chat up stranger guys, so it's not related to anxiety. I just don't have the skill yet.

@Zenterus @Leo Gura Thanks. I guess I'll start approaching from now on, just to practice and see how it changes my life. I won't be focused on getting the girl. I will try to focus on the process.

@Inliytened1 @Sincerity Honestly, and despite everything, I admit he is smarter than me. That's why I expected better from him. However, I don't like the disrespect and I still think that he is wrong about this topic. But thanks guys. I appreciate your efforts. I hope he calms down and detaches a bit and comes back in good faith.

Today I was walking at the park, and I saw a girl sitting there on a bench. I don't normally do this, but since I see you guys here talking a lot about cold approaching, I said to myself what the hell let's do this. And I did experience some tension before the approach and even a bit during. It went terrible, however, like really terrible she wasn't able to speak. Literally she said nothing. I said hi, she gave me nothing. I asked a question, she turned her head away 😂 I told her if you are not feeling well, I will go away. She gave me the same non-response. And I walked away. It's not fun at all. I don't feel hurt by the rejection, though. But like how do you even get a stranger girl to talk to you? I've had GFs in the past, but they were all from social circle. Some of them even initiated contact with me. This pickup thing is different.

Now you are giving him homework too. Very nice. It's simple, actually. Name-calling is childish. It's clear, visible, evident. Doesn't require much effort to spot.

Yeah. And I clarified that it isn't the important part of the analogy. Respect is the important part. You missed the point entirely.

@Someone here How do you reconcile that God is something more than you with Leo's "God is you"? Nice

@Natasha Tori Maru You're so cute haha

Sounds very Sufi. Are you secretly going to the mosque?

@Someone here

The context here is different. We are not in an academic setting, and I am not required to look at anything if I don't feel like it, even without any reason, I am not obligated to continue a discussion. However, I did have valid reasons to disengage, like an already long enough engagement followed by delayed replies followed by name-calling and disrespect. The same principles of respect apply universally. You don't get to disrespect others and then demand things. "Others" can be strangers, friends, colleagues, family members, or anything else. Decency and respect come first between humans, then everything else.

@Carl-Richard Good. I hope so. Can't say anything about something I didn't even look at. You haven't met the basic respectful engagement rules for you to demand such things. You just can't go to your university and throw shit at your colleagues and demand that they should look at your "evidence". It doesn't work that way. You will get fired until you apologize, and even then, maybe you'll be accepted back, but probably not. I am still offering generosity. Provide a pre-recorded dream journal that doesn't require me to think twice about it. It's lazy, I know. But it's still more than what you deserve after the disrespect.

I didn't forget that. I forgot the context in which I said what I said. My standard isn't science. Science is just one application of the standard. You could give me a pre-recorded dream journal and it would be enough for me. It would be something that would satisfy the three components I outlined that science does satisfy. It would poke my eyes out etc... But regardless of that, and to your question, human memory is not perfect, and it is a very common experience to forget many things in normal healthy people. This is like common sense that you are missing.

Unfortunately, you are not a psychiatrist to make such diagnoses. You are merely a self-proclaimed psychic who can magically diagnose people through the internet. And your success rate for now is 0%. But I get your desire to paint me as such. It's normal. And it's gonna be okay. Trust the process. But despite your massive ad hominem, here's a rough chronological order (from memory) of your shifting local standards: First, it was about your personal precognitive dreams. Then, it was about convergence of sensory streams. Then, it was about morphic resonance. Then, it was about Tom Campbell. Then, it was about shared dreams. Then, it was about a weak meta-analysis. Then, it was about Dr. Cardeña's review. So clearly, you don't have any standards. My standard is clear: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Whether the evidence is coming from science or direct personal evidence does not really matter. I am intellectually flexible enough to accept both. But you don't have either. If you did, you wouldn't be so desperate in trying to convince me. If you did, you'd actually say: "Here's the truth, take it or leave it. It makes no difference to me." But it seems like you're trying to win an argument. And on top of that, you project that behavior of yours onto me, which I purposefully ignored multiple times btw, because being so eager to play the projection card doesn't help my truth. It's evident that it didn't help yours. Or maybe you're just unsure of your own beliefs and trying to achieve more certainty through my approval. In this case, I'll save you time and effort and confirm that I will not look at your "evidence" until you apologize for the disrespect and name-calling and start engaging in good faith like a respectful mature person. And even then, my engagement with the topic is not guaranteed anymore.

I've engaged long enough. You took too long to reply. The discussion lost momentum and I got bored. Nothing personal here. If anyone else did the same, I would probably feel the same. I never lied. It is possible that I forgot parts of the discussion and said things differently in a way that contradicts some things I said in the past (thanks to your delay). But you're not engaging in good faith, so you assume the worst. I never played psychological games or ego games or any kind of games. I am being fully honest and transparent, always have been. I clearly stated that I wanted to leave the discussion. You kept trying to pull me back in. You've made this discussion about me. As if my approval is more important than the truth. Oh, no. Oh dear almighty Carl'im, have mercy on my powerless ignorant soul. Redeem the error of my ways and guide me to grace. Please don't throw me down the torturous forum hell of your ignore list. I mean I'm already "psycho" as you put it. Are you trying to invoke a psychotic break or something? Grow up, dude.

Mind-blowing 🤯 Did AI draw it? If not, which app is this?

You do have a say; an equal say, not an authoritative say. It's funny you thought of a pink elephant in specific. I had written that exact thought "pink elephant" a few hours ago in reply to you but then deleted it. I also added silly descriptions to the pink elephant but different to your descriptions, I was thinking about the elephant's tusks and trunk if that helps. I decided to delete it because it didn't come out as I intended. It's fascinating to think about this coincidence, actually. But I still wouldn't consider it psychic. It's likely that we both saw the pink elephant picture posted by Lordfall yesterday and our minds worked in similar ways for some reason that made us think that exact thought. Look here: I don't understand this part. Could you elaborate?

You said your precognitive experience happened in a trance state between waking and slumber. This means you've entered a state of altered perception. But it doesn't mean now you get to decide what perceptual openness means. You don't even have ownership of that experience. It happened to you. Then you interpreted it as meaningful. Then you reported it. None of that says anything about how valid your interpretation is.

@Natasha Tori Maru To me, an insight is not different in essence than any regular thought, except that it is derived through direct personal contemplation (like you said), and usually comes in the form of a breakthrough that carries more emotional weight and has more impact on the psyche and/or even directly on behaviour. An insight is a fresh new perspective that feels good, although it doesn't inherently carry more truth than a regular thought. A regular thought can be more truthful than an insight, but the lack of novelty makes regular thoughts (which are basically old insights) feel pale in comparison. An insight often comes with an "aha" moment. But one important thing I'd like to mention is that clinging to certain insights can turn them into dogmas. So, through induction we can infer that it's not just the content of the insight itself that matters, but how we relate to it. Do we call it absolute truth? Do we call it a delusion? Or something in between? The answer makes all the difference. I think, regardless of how insightful some thought may feel in the moment, the most important part is always about how we relate to it.

@Carl-Richard And no, I don't want your approval. It's not an ego game that I'm playing. I'm just asking for basic respect.

@Carl-Richard That last phrase has nothing to do with the discussion itself, but with your conduct as a human being. I am not happy with your constant name-calling and bad faith engagement. I reported your post, so mods can take a look and decide. What's the point of putting me on ignore if you're going to read my comments anyway? Like am I supposed to get hurt or something?
