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.

Lasertek-Park I sometimes think about starting a lasertek park. It would have all kinds of stuff. It would be soft park parkour oriented and so would allow for many creative maneuvers. I would integrate hiding options and as many diverse weapons as you can possibly get with lasertek. Maybe robots as well. Different game modes from king of the hill, to team fights to zombie fights. A place where you can experience your whole being alive and go all crazy without much risk of getting injured. It would be very inclusive also. For example for elderly people there would be a big sign: "Respect the elderly. Elderly get bigger guns." and they would get bigger guns.

All of this talk about about potential stock market chaos under Trumps administration makes me nervous. I have got some money, not a lot put into widespread fonds. I wanted it to be as safe as possible. Now I fear that I could loose money but I dont think that cash is a good option either because of inflation. Generally I am just looking for advice from people who know this stuff. It's generally said that you should always think for yourself but in terms of investing I am honest about my own ignorance, I have no idea what clever investing would be right now and I am not interested in making a deep study in this dry domain. If I could find people with integrity who give investing advice I would very much be interested.

Its not the first time this question came up in the forum.

I once had a similar intuition that there could be a reality which was exactly that, manifestations of things which obeyed completely different rules of reality like fire out of ice, happiness out of wooden blocks, water out of rock material, ... yeah you are right that would be pure consciousness = without limits. I wonder if there is any connection to art or abstraction here. The more you manifest yourself in this dream the more you feel that the rules of reality are real and hard, the more your consciousness grows the more loose reality gets. Maybe between everyday consciousness and pure consciousness there is a happy medium where reality can be viewed in a more loose way so that you get out of the box of ordinary reality while still making sense and connecting to the manifestations at hand. -

Men also require community to survive but not to the same extend as women. A women without protection is an easy victim especially for rape. Men need to fear that a lot less because they dont give birth plus they have more muscle to protect themselves. Generally you could get more out of abusing a women while its also easier.

Heartbroken Project for sometime in the future perhaps. Imagine you have a large block of glass, shaped like a heart preferably and you let that thing explode in a thousand pieces. Then you put the pieces all together into something new and beautiful. The metaphor is obvious but beautiful and also deep because there are an infinite number of ways to put the pieces back together. If you could find material which breaks in ways that are suitable for building (like Lego) you could make a set out of it and sell it. A creative project for heartbroken people to heal.

That way of thinking is corruption. What being fashionable means is largely dictated by societies group think. So by wanting to be fashionable you look for a high status position in society. It's mostly not an intrinsic motivation. If I wanted to pursue something because my outfit pushes me in this direction I am playing the game of group think, so I am pretending and loose the real thing.

No I disagree actually. I think method acteurs are getting close to not acting but natural acteurs to it differently. I do some amateur acting myself so the nature of acting is often an object for my inquiry. And I haven't figured it out really. What I can say is people often get roles close to their character so the jump isnt that big. A confident guy with a big ego will easily play the bad guy and will struggle to play a weakling and vice versa. I think thats true for both natural acting and method acting. I personally never did extreme method acting but for some roles I got a little more into it then others. When you really get into it, it can be really tiring. When you do natural acting it can actually give you energy. Its insane. It's something other people also report that they can get energy from acting. One time I played a collapse naturally with very little energy required. I just knew intuitively how I would have to look with my eyes/ avoid eye contact, how to distance myself, how to make the right pauses and everything just intuitively without effort. It's like I just tapped into intuitive intelligence. I was shocked about how light it was to play that role and how instantly I could get out. Method acting might be forming your ego into a role while natural acting might be letting go of your ego and letting your intuition take over. If both go to extremes, they touch.

@MarkKol Well it's correlation not causality. People with more strength seem to have more testosterone, probably better health, probably take more drugs which means they are more likely to take risks etc. So these people could get laid more with or without the strength and adding strength through training might do nothing for you.
