I think your YouTube channel or blog would greatly benefit from coaching experience.

It's the other way around then you think. They aren't sleeping, non-adhd people are sleeping. People with ADHD are caught up in or distracted from direct awareness (first order truth) and have problems focusing on concepts (second order truth). Do you agree?

hmm maybe idk. You raise a good point. If everything is qualia, how would that moment I experience be created? Yeah maybe a truth reality that underlies experience seems plausible but thats just so deep speculation. Well you can have mystical types of experiences where you can become conscious enough to see how reality is formed and that in the absolute you form it (from what I read). In that moment reality might only be qualia as the conscious creation of reality is an experience (qualia) and experienced (qualia) at the same time. When you aren't as conscious in everyday waking consciousness though idk how it is then. Buttom line is, I need to trip.

I heard a few podcasts some time ago where people talked about their experience with polyamorous or open relationships. They said it took them years of getting used to it. When they knew that their partner was having sex with someone else they were facing their ugliest demons and were often times suffering from their jealousy. But they reported that after 3 years or so they became okay with it. They were still jealous but they weren't fighting their jealousy anymore they just accepted it and through that were in peace with it. They also reported other benefits like a feeling of security as there were less secrets or reasons for breakup and a new sense of self love because their partner came back to them even if he/ she had other options so they learned that they were capable of a unique kind of love which other people couldnt provide. Focusing on the point of jealousy though. Do you think the claim that they were in peace with their jealousy is legit?

It's advised for women to eat tofu because it decreases the chance of breast cancer!!

What negative effects have you experienced?

"From three years ago, he had started restricting his carbohydrate intake with the intention of losing weight" So he was trying to loose weight. Calorie restriction leads to lower testosterone levels and lower libido. Is the possibility eliminated that it was that and not the soy?

"However, in their literature review, Messina et al. concluded that feminizing effects are not observed in men who consume even a much larger amount of soy isoflavones than normal (12). Another meta-analysis similarly concluded that soy protein and isoflavone intake does not affect serum testosterone levels in men (13). The effect of excessive isoflavone intake in men is thus controversial." The research if soy isoflavones cause feminization seems controversial. "Although some studies have found that isoflavone intake has no effect on feminization or gonadal hormones despite its estrogen-like effect in men (12,13), several interventional studies and case reports have described feminization and hypogonadism due to excessive isoflavone intake. Because interventional studies by excessive administration of isoflavones are impossible due to safety concerns, the accumulation of spontaneous case reports is important. Gardner-Thorpe et al. found that men who ate soya flour (containing isoflavones 120 mg/day) for 6 weeks showed a moderate decrease in serum testosterone levels (from 19.30 nmol/L to 18.20 nmol/L) (9). Martinez et al. reported that a 60-year-old man who drank 2.8 L of soy milk per day (isoflavones 361 mg/day) developed gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction, and a diminished libido (10). Siepmann et al. reported that a 19-year-old man eating a vegan diet exhibited erectile dysfunction, a diminished libido, and a low FT level as a result of consuming isoflavones 360 mg/day for 1 year (11). The present patient's estimated isoflavone intake was 310 mg/day." Oh so they dont directly make studies to view the effect of estrogen on men because it is regulations forbid experimentation if people can get harmed as a result. So they take the case reports instead. Interesting how all that works.

Seems a bit like cherrypicking. Here would be a counter cherry, does that disproof anything?

I wonder if their value increases over time. I mean it is funny af.

Qualia is experience. Thats what I think god is. If I think for example that I am a human and that god doesnt exist then that is a certain experience (qualia) and that is part of god. Materialists sometimes make the mistake that they think that some things aren't qualia like that math and physics aren't qualia but of course doing math and physics is an experience. And what I also mean with all encompassing is that god is a mystical experience (truth) and also not a mystical experience (untruth).

I had opened a thread maybe a year ago which wasn't well received where I talked about a problem of mine where I accidentally flirted with everyone and the conclusion back then was that it was illusion or unconscious behavior on my part. I can explain this with ADHD a lot better now as I see the contrast when I am on meds as this flirting doesnt happen as often anymore. I literally flirted with other people because the flirt itself felt good. I never wanted to achieve anything with it. It was like looking at a great sunset for a moment, forgetting time and space and not attaching to it at all. The problem wasn't that it was unconscious behavior, the problem was that the behavior was too conscious. Both too conscious and too unconscious behavior are bad. Our collective consciousness isnt suited for that level of free love. Love is treated as an exchange thing. Thats how it is manageable for everyone. Thats my take on it now. Maybe it's not the whole story. What I dont think am deluded about though is how the exchange of free love is unconscious. It's an incredible high conscious experience. All stories and plans of what to do with that moment are second tier truth - you have got first order truth in the experience of the exchange of free love which feels fucking real.

I was asking you because I didnt understand how god would be able to see everything at all times. That would be a certain kind of god. I think God is Qualia. (Qualia is basically experience) Qualia as an all encompassing absolute though.

Didnt you open a topic once where you said that you love math?

There are only so many combinations you can make out of a few ideas. With more existing ideas the possibilities for combining these ideas rises exponentially also. It's like math, there are 6 possibilities to order the numbers 123 and there are 720 possibilities to order the numbers 123456. Of course thats not exactly how it is in the real world but you get the idea. Maybe also some very crucial ideas were invented which allowed for a lot more possibilities. We are also a lot more people on earth and have higher living standards which helps.

Meta problem - Daniel Schmachtenberger I have been listening to Daniel Schmachtenberger lately. A reoccurring theme in his talks is the meta problem: Things which evolutionary win often aren't the things which are good. For example back in the days nature loving hippie communities lost against egoistical brutal kind of communities and so the genes of the egoistical brutal kind of people got through and we are all now fucked up because of that and wish we be and live in a place with nature loving hippies. It also applies to ideas: The idea which is most marketable wins over other ideas which might be better but not as marketable. If one wants to change the system there is no way to get around these machanisms. One needs to embace them. If one wants to change the system he has got to put himself in a strong position in the system so he can use his power to change the system for the better. This case of cars represents that idea actualized really well I think. The producer of the film were in a position of power as they could deliver a piece of entertainment/ art to a very big audience. The cars are cool especially Lightning McQueen. And for the big finale McQueen chooses empathy over winning, stage green over stage orange. I remember what an emotional moment that was for me as a kid and how much it got me thinking. I got so much development out of that.

@Atb210201 @rachMiel What do you think god is?

edit: Oh its from here:

That is possible of course. But his perspective is very understandable. Most people aren't open minded enough for radical spiritual insights. He could have had a few attempts of telling other people about his knowledge and had bad experiences with it. I havent heard of that but it certainly sounds like a weird claim.

What if he really was on a higher level and people really couldn't swallow the truth so he has to tell them white lies and in his loneliness he built a comfortable bubble for himself where he enjoys his own jokes. If he wasn't on a higher level then that behavior would be out of place of course.

+ what Leo said So you talked about wanting to be more sexually open as your gf told you she would be okay with a threesome if it made you happier?

Well if you go back in time with the knowledge you have now you haven't gotten back in time as there is the future mind then in the past body. That could be incredibly weird. Like I am way more mature now then 10 years ago and I think people would notice. But when you look at it less realistically - on the one I pissed away so many good years and I could have had so many great experiences but on the other hand I dont know how I would have turned out without difficulties. It's a mystery at the end of the day.

I get it. I dont know if I would feel very different. It's just that I feel like this is such an ego and illusory thing believing that you own somebody that I think there has to be a valuable spiritual lesson if you deconstruct that - maybe like a harsh 5meo trip.

@Ampresus Oh this is so funny. He just got a week of ptsd, he is fine now and still in love with his girl it's all good. You just have to let it go. Eventually you can get to the level of the guy at 14:04

That triggers two things in me. 1) an absolute terrible feeling like seeing a bunch of carnivores devour a corps of someone you love. That thumbnail captures it perfectly. (thanks nilsi) 2) potentially a very beautiful non egoistical love. Imagine you like to see your girl get gang banged by other people because it makes her happy and she is happy that it makes you happy that it makes her happy. It's a thing.
