Your vibe attracts your tribe sooner or later.

Playing civilization 3 always teaches me something, wether about history or how the reptilian brain works or how leaders rule.

I think you will figure it out. The best you can do from my experience is spend 1 day per week to only solve diet, health, physical activity, mental health (relieving the worry), mindfulness and improving your routine topics. It will make your day to day life much better.

Truth can severely reduce your life span if you really desire it. Such people leave their body prematurely, but we are not those people probably.

Same here.

Ok, if you change ur mind I could do my or your ideas or the mix of them on the rythm guitar. I feel I am more to collab than ever.

Do you want to collab locally or you want to collab here maybe?

By dedicating time to improve your own life, developing systems that help you and others. Researching what other people need and researching for new effective and convenient solutions that will help people solve their problems is one way. Open a Google doc and start writing, start inquiring. When you have something, make it as a business plan, then look for connections, start a company. Tough you need some experience with entrepreneurship. It will take years to get from A to B with fails, but you can. This is one way. Big things don't come easy, there's no shortcut. What do you want to enrich the world with?

I would argue that it's not the point, but it's one of the side effects.

I want to write/record an elaborate series about it. I have some answers and techniques that helps me relax from the projections of society. The "Grow up" criticism comes from a very insecure place. It signals that if you will fall into place "like everyone else" you will be safer and will not be considered a threat in a violent group think society. This is not the meta or status quo anymore. That's why we have more degree of freedom and possibilities to live our lives. "Grow up" is guilt and fear based conditioning. There is no such a thing for grow up. I was told "that I am a grown adult" and should do or know something because of it many times. Trump also is an adult, Putin also is an adult, why not criticize them for their short-sighted and childish ideas about how the world should be governed and if they truly wished the best for the world they should just resign. "Grow up" means "I don't have time to internalize why you do the things you do and I don't have an individual and holistic solution for you, yet I am insecure about what you do or how you think and I don't want to associate with that, so I want to change that within you so you are more like me." Also "grow up" means, the person who criticizes you are not in tune with their emotions. This tells you that there is more nuanced less materialistic way to be happy. You don't need a lot of stuff "grown people" have, "so please don't disturb me by entertaining an alternative narrative" that you can look for happiness by exhausting your desire of sex, playing video games, eating something tasty, living by yourself, not having children, etc. Of course some of that is delusion, but some things truly resonate individually to you as to what you should do with your life. And making other people feeling guilty about their own life is not productive at all and makes them an undesirable companion or friend. I have some people in my life that project a lot of guilt in this way and I should absolutely call them out for it if possible in the same sarcastic and shady way they comment so they understand what they are saying and I will do it more and more. Telling people to "grow up" is the most disgusting and shameful thing you can do in a life or reality with no reference point or abslute guide as to how you should live your life where you have different resources and experience than every other person alive today. The solution is to remind yourself to not feel guilty about who you are and when you need to you are going to quit whatever is not serving you anymore and trust your own innate intelligence. That is a major downside of relationships. There can be somebody who constantly nags that you should be something you are not.

If you do it, you will know it.

So the problem of OP is that he doesn't want to see projection of fear to a degree of realm of suffering. I can underestand that. I would tell people here to stop using the @Nahm argument when you don't have anything reasonable to say in a discussion, just say we are all one and don't provide any practical solution to a problem or question at hand. Just say something vaguely spiritual to stop arguing. That's like a a person coming up on stage and saying in a very passionate voice "everything is energy" yet few people really have healed something from energy healing and similar practices. Why? Because the solution is specific, not vague. The "you are already free" or "everything is one" is not enough I feel at least for most people. Even that has to be understood in what context you use it, what your thinking should be based in and time to integrate this concept and see the results in your meditation. So I hate these vague truths. They are truths, but they are impractical.

God bless this man. Been digging sc and sc2 scene recently.

The benefits of semen retention are there in my experience, but really happened after a long time. And I still have to meditate to "harvest" those benefits so to say. I feel more aligned with my flow of life ever since.

Social groups. Do you have hobbies? Craftsmanship, art, theatre, even dungeons and dragons, even video games, cooking, yoga, hardware, software, comedy, literature, spirituality, sports, charity, volunteering fasion, university, education, politics to name a few... Possibility to engage with people there. Women and men. Trough regular meet and greets you might land yourself a boyfriend. Though you have to practice some form of putting yourself out there, some self-reflection, maybe even working on your routine and chores as if you were in a relationship, knowing what you want and knowing what you are willing to offer. It sounds like a lot and it sounds complicated, but you have time to work on it. 5-10 years you will sill be relatively young and you have a chance to be increasingly content and happy with yourself with or without a boyfriend. Those other people who have it have their rude awakenings waiting for them, just later. Not to wish ill at them, but it will happen, because that's how life works. Also learning meditation and some kind of self-rejuvenating practice can make a world of difference. If you don't know where to start, before going to sleep, wish to be in a nice relationship, wish to be capable of living in relationship, because that can be a burden by itself. Immagine how would it look like without the possibilities or impossibilities. However I would argue to wish to be healthy first to enjoy the solitude and the company.

Jahahahaha! Love it.

My parents divorced. My grandparents had terrible time in their marriage. I don't have a good example of what relationships mean. I only see that as a symbol of status and some kind of power play thing which divides those who have it and those who don't. I see that as another thing that society tells you to do to not feel pressure about your life. Idk. Really. I don't know what the value of relationship means. And I am not family oriented also. My father figures are online hindu gurus who tell me to meditate. And I do that. And that's the only thing that works. I have an honest question to raise, what will a woman add to my life that I really needed? I don't know the answer.

Not to go conspiracy theorist and mention that Litvinenko was of a different caliber and not an UK citizen, but! "On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly fell ill. Earlier that day he had met two Russian ex-KGB officers, Andrey Lugovoy and Dmitry Kovtun, at the Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel in London.[17][18][19]" from Wikipedia.

Diplomatic risk? Are you sure? Whatever their press secretary says, the opposite is true. Trump doesn't care btw.

Essentially yes.

Huge part of Kremlin's opposition hangs around in YT.

Makes my blood boil everytime that happens... maybe I have the same fate in the future.

got me chuckling, Leo is a good sport though This is a good example. You should joke more.

Yeah, i understand you. I don't know what to do to be honest. I just reveal more and more of what I actually am, but I am far from that. I accept that I am rejected for who I am. And I am going to be. The fact that I will be single for the rest of my life is where I start. There is always life to build. I think the answer to socialize without sacrificing your true self are trough hobbies or art classes like theater or music. You could benefit from a fresh perspective and attempt to be more in tune with your emotions and expressing them to people around you. Being too logical is a no-no for intimacy. You can talk about weather, person or an object with a woman you find interesting and convey A LOT emotionally and in body language. You don't need so much logical depth in this situation.
