  1. Solipsism is your ticket to infinity though. As long as you imagine other consciousnesses you are less than infinite; I don't see how you could have both simultaneously. They are both true, but you cannot be in Australia and Alaska at the same time.
  2. What kind of mad logic is this You will find yourself alone and horny at times, that's just life man. Even if I had a bunch of supermodels lined up just waiting for a booty call, there will still be times, where I would prefer to just rub one out and get it over with.
  3. Being as well read as someone like Ken Wilber, John Vervaeke, Daniel Schmachtenberger etc. is an insane accomplishment and probably one of the more rewarding things one can do in life.
  4. And what do you do when you're home alone and you're horny? You just hold it in til you're blue in the face? This is such silly logic. You think you're a man for getting blue balls or what?
  5. I don't really get it either. The funniest thing is that all those men empowerment ideologues demonize porn, instead of using it to empower themselves to not be reliant on pussy all the time. The logic behind this is so twisted, I don't even know how to make sense of it.
  6. You certainly can't read something like "Sex, Ecology, Spirituality" or "The Matter With Things" in a day, but a lot of the source material of Wilber could be comfortably read in a day. Also, remember, Wilber had a clear goal for reading these books (understanding human development), so he just has to find the bits and pieces that are relevant for his endeavors. He doesn't have to understand every single word Nietzsche said or know every detail of quantum mechanics, nor did he. I don't even know how much Wilber read and I'm not making any claims on that, I'm just telling you what's possible.
  7. Good thing I don't hold that worldview.
  8. Wilber knew exactly what he wanted to know and he just went and did it.
  9. I can read a medium sized book a day if I want. You can use reading techniques to multiply your speed significantly (which I'm not doing). You can also just read the parts that you care about. Some former president of the USA (I unfortunately don't remember who) used to read a book everyday before breakfast. There are levels to this game lol.
  10. That's not even all that much. You can easily read 400 books in a year or two, if you are serious and know what you're looking for.
  11. It depends what you mean by stupid. Monogamy selects for traits like being nice, loyal, content etc., while polygamy selects for dominance, looks, (possibly smarts). Some may even say this is deteriorating western culture lol. From natures perspective you could argue that the best specimen should reproduce unhindered and all the other men should be monogamous and raise the children of their women (even if they are not their own). Monogamy is just the only sensible mating system in our current society. Polygamy is really only ethical, if we can ensure that everybody gets to fuck (otherwise were back to survival of the fittest again).
  12. Its obvious that you dont give a shit about a girl you have known for one day. If you really care about monogamy, or at least want to give it a serious shot, you just have to bite the bullet of getting to know each other, going out, doing activities together etc. I wouldnt even put that on a limited capacity to love; its as with everything - the more time you spend with it, the better it gets, the more time you want to spend with it. Its just a pain in the ass to get to the point at which the relationship will be meaningful enough to justify it.
  13. Lol pls dont tell me you were the guy recording that Daniel Schmachtenberger disstrack.
  14. For somebody who watches so much Schmachtenberger, your confidence intervals suck balls man
  15. Plot twist: the pedophile Leo hung out with was actually Michael Jackson.
  16. I appreciate it, maybe something science/philosophy related, but I definitely don't have the same passion for mysticism, or whatever you would call it, that you have.
  17. "Tantra" by Feuerstein or various books by Santa Gamana, but they kind of suck balls.
  18. I've read books with 100s of pages talking about Shiva and Shakti and all that crap, but you actually made it come to life in a few paragraphs (and you're always so enthusiastic, which is awesome). You should become a teacher or something, that would suit you so well
  19. That's not what philosophy is to me. If it doesn't change the way you experience reality, and is in turn influenced by your experience of reality, it ain't philosophy.
  20. I love philosophy as well and I don't want to rob you of your joy for philosophy, but wouldn't it be cool, if you actually could experience the things you are speculating about? There is still plenty of room for philosophy and new ideas, but just speculating about something from an armchair position is not really philosophy in the first place.
  21. You are inquiring into these things daily, what exactly do you wish to achieve with that? If you're not serious, you are just wasting your time, in which case you should rather focus on getting laid or whatever you are ready to handle at this point.
  22. You are speculating that there is no one behind your mother's eyes, but that isn't really true. The consciousness of your mother is the same consciousness of you and you can look into her eyes and recognize that. You wouldn't say there is no one there, unless you had some kind of Neoadvaitaesque worldview (or you didn't know what the fuck you were talking about).
