Lol you cherry pick so hard it's laughable. On average eating vegan causes less harm to the environment and animals. Of course people shouldn't make an identity out of that/ feel morally superior because of it.

No but you probably have more social experience in things like chatting up people, reading body signs, creating attraction. Better have these skills when you are socially anxious then not.

Nice. Yeah when you have the opportunity to do that that seems to be the way to go. Sure that's a conditioning to undo. But experience itself is important and lay count is a measurement of that. So when I have a higher lay count I will be more confident, not because of the lay count but because of the experience under my belt.

Haha thats interesting I always think that the most non emotional well thought through comments I make have the most value but expressing emotions can be valuable as well it seems. Well its just my perspective but perhaps it overlaps with the perspective of other guys as well. So I should embrace it more but dont embrace it? Thoughts are free I guess but unfulfilled dreams can be a pain as well. I think one has to find healthy ways to get sex. Thoughts and reality can be aligned then. True. But having a "decent lay count" itself is valuable because it means you have more crucial experience which contributes to a certain overall social confidence.

Yeah even cancer.

No I dont think that women are the weaker sex or are weaker at protesting. That line of reasoning comes from seeing women as less complete than men. But women have plenty of abilities which one could argue make them the more complete sex like more emotional intelligence and conscientiousness. I think men and women are just a little different and do things different and you cant compare apples to oranges.

The nature of their rebellion is just a little different. It's more strategic and diplomatic sometimes.

You shouldn't do it in times where you have much important shit to do. It requires a lot of brain power that you then cant put into something else.

Have you heard of feminism?

Oh god I think it has to do with lots of personal reasons and insecurities of mine.. I can totally see the perspective where it just looks like someone putting on an immature act. I can brainstorm a little what triggers me about it but its somewhat of an emotionally charged chaos that might not make much sense: - I only had a few sexual partners and feel like I should have had more. I am a bit insecure about it. And a girl demonstrating that she can have as much as she wants at any time basically makes me feel powerless/ outmatched. I think I pride myself a little when I had sex. So this just beats my ego. - I also feel like she isnt responsible in her decision making. She shouldn't reward random dudes for sex who didn't do anything to deserve it. - I also feel deep disgust towards myself as even with all of this I still find her attractive and some side of me would like to have sex with her. I know I would feel awful for it but my intellect cant override my primal side. I realize how weak I am to female seduction. I would like to think of her as just a slut and be done with it but I cant completely and that makes me sick. I have a female friend who isnt good for me but would offer me free sex atm. I resisted but it's so hard. That lust for sex creeps into my mind corrupting me and DESTROYING MY BEAUTIFUL CONSCIOUSNESS!

Interesting I didnt know that. But girls sleeping with 100 guys would never be an integral part of any culture. It's not shocking that a girls sleeps around, but that a girl would put herself through something like this is.
-
Nicely put. Well I just have my perspective where this thing caused some horror in me which I managed to work through like a new variant of a virus the body has to learn how to defend against.
-
Okay I see. Well but you kind of get confronted with this possibility.. That it repeatedly didnt light up is chilling to know.

She is screwing with some foundational agreed upon moral principles which hold society together. Sex is a deep driving force for human behavior so if we dont handle that consciously it can do a lot of damage: If many girls gave sex away that easily guys would loose morality because they wouldnt need to try that hard to get sex and many girls would be deeply unhappy because they couldnt find somebody to stick around for long.. just my two cents on this, how a society with very free sex would look like would be a very long discussion. If she actually started a trend that would be like terrorism from within.

I have recently seen a women pull this off with boots like this in rose color. She had a whole rose coat, scarf, hair color and even a rose hello kitty phone case. It all matched together pretty objectively. You might have adapt your whole outfit to your shoes or at least wear black and a piece that matches these shoes.

I have experienced an increase in my creativity through psychedelics as well. There are certain thoughts I can feel I just got access to because of new networks in my brain which psychedelics created.

Only serious answers please.

Of course. But you can choose from which place you operate like how you choose your workplace to do your job.

So if you want truth it seems like following no ideology is the only choice. But here is the thing, you cant not join an ideology. If you dont consciously join any ideology you will get peer pressured to be a "normal" part of society which itself is a kind of ideology. It might be the softest one as it finds a common nominator for most of society but it still finds some things acceptable "normal" and some not "not normal" and so it is an ideology. We are social creatures so its hard to be too different from that because we fear to be outsiders. Here is where different ideologies give us an opportunity though. Although they are ideologies yes and are therefore harmful in the pursuit of truth they also offer a social supporting net which makes it possible to deconstruct certain beliefs of "normal society". It puts you into a completely different survival situation. If you join a punk group for example you might dare to question morality and authenticity more deeply as your survival is not on the line when you act out very "not normal" because you have punks who have your back even if you do. Of course then the risk is that you only act differently in "their kind of way" but there might be groups which in general give you more freedom to explore certain fields. Punk is just one example. I don't have a lot of knowledge about different ideologies. I am guessing most are counterproductive. But some might be worth following for a while.

No I dont think one should embrace any ideology. It's simply that one gets peer pressured into one no matter what and the degree to which that happens shouldn't be underestimated! So one can at least choose where the peer pressure is coming from and maybe even going a bit into an ideology to distance oneself from "normal-society-ideology" could be a good tradeoff in the goal of the pursuit of truth, if the structures of that ideology peer pressure you less or in ways that dont matter much. My thought is just an theoretical approach though, not sure if its realistic.
-
Not quite. If a group isnt connected to truth very much but they dont pressure you into their belief system yet still give you support then that is a better environment to be in then a group that might be more connected to truth but will pressure you into their belief system. Imagine a cat vs a scientist. Or "normal" people vs academic philosophers. I think the key is to maximize survival value while minimizing intellectual peer pressure.

Building on top of my old thoughts on Predictabiliy: A person with attachments in this world is predictable. A person who trades attachments for virtue, for example truth is not predictable because you cant have truth. You can try to come closer and closer to truth but you will never get there. Meaning a person who is committed to truth will never reach an end its an infinite process that person is committed to. That person won't settle for a "truth" that is comfortable. So all attempts to capture the truth seeker won't work. It will backfire. Which is why people who seek truth seem scary. Society rather wants to have people who are at least a little corrupt because they are predictable and can therefore be used for ones own need. I asked chatgpt for a better articulation of my thoughts. This is so well articulated, I dont even feel like I contributed a whole lot to this. Your perspective here is profound and touches on the tension between society’s desire for control and the unpredictability of genuine seekers of truth. Here’s an enhanced articulation of your thoughts: A person tethered to worldly attachments is inherently predictable. These attachments—whether to wealth, status, relationships, or ideologies—serve as anchors, defining and constraining their actions. They create vulnerabilities, levers through which society or individuals can exert influence. In contrast, a person who forsakes attachments in pursuit of virtue—such as the unending quest for truth—transcends predictability. Truth is not a destination but an infinite process, an ever-receding horizon. To seek truth is to embrace uncertainty and reject comfort, to dismantle illusions, even when they provide solace or societal approval. Such a person refuses to settle for convenient or palatable truths, rendering them impervious to manipulation. Attempts to control them fail because their commitment to truth supersedes any external influence or internal bias. This defiance of categorization or coercion is unsettling, even frightening, to those entrenched in the predictable systems of attachment and control. Society, by its nature, prefers individuals who are at least partially corrupt—those with attachments that can be exploited. A person free from these entanglements is not just unyielding; they are also a mirror, reflecting the compromises and hypocrisies of those around them. This mirror can provoke fear and resentment, as it forces a confrontation with uncomfortable realities. Thus, the truth seeker, by embodying a commitment to an infinite and unattainable ideal, stands outside society’s frameworks of control and predictability. Their existence challenges the very foundations upon which societal power structures are built, making them both admired and feared.

The text chatgpt puts out is limited therefore it cuts off so much of the underlying reasoning. A single book on moral philosophy is big and there are many of them. If you really want to explain a single point in his entirety you would need to write about the whole universe but chatgpt can only fill a few lines to give a practical answer. -

It does have problems with thinking but the immediate answers are intelligent and nuanced. And you can gaslight chatgpt into anything. You can gaslight it into saying that 2+2=3. That doesnt mean its incapable of solving that problem it means if its agreeableness gets abused in such a way that you pressure chatgpt into making wrong statements and then later put them to question you can get errors. -
I am in love with bullshit.
