  1. Hahaha Ok dude. You sound really triggered out of nowhere in your attempts to defend your weak argument. Do you agree that there are advantages to reading, right? How do you think you would gain those advantages if you read only once in a while? The advantages of reading require consistency. Reading once in a while it's like trying to lose weight by running and eating only apples once a month just because you are in the “mood”. This is ok by the way if you are not a type of a person to do anything daily but just because you don't like or enjoy it doesn't mean that it's not beneficial for others or lame. It’s much better than a daily TikTok scroll for hours or trolling decent forum members with nonsense.
  2. Reading books is not lame. It is a source of high-quality information. If you are a curious person who loves to learn and expand your horizons, books are perfect for that. There are books about anything and everything. There are many advantages to reading books, including novels. Reading trains our brain to focus (an antidote to a short attention span), improves memory, helps us hold complicated and nuanced ideas, strengthens critical thinking, and expands the imagination and more. If you read like a robot just to memorize things, you are doing it wrong. You should read slowly and contemplate the material you read. Books give you material to chew on. You don’t even have to agree with the author! You can argue with the author (in your mind or in notes). As a remedy and an antidote to your hubris, I recommend reading at least 30 minutes daily. Start with The Shallows by Nicholas Carr and Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman to understand how illiteracy and people who don’t read books can negatively affect society on many levels. You guys with your illiterate mentally bring a lot of trouble upon us.
  3. Cool… It launches in 5 minutes...
  4. Feminism is not a movement that is built on blaming men; this is a very shallow view. For most, it is a movement for gender equality. It is not ideal, of course, and is always evolving. It criticizes the patriarchy and strict gender roles, and it expects more accountability from men as a group with more power. Men don't listen to feminists because of misogyny and because of the shame in realizing how brainwashed they were by patriarchy, how much harm it caused them as individuals and how much harm they caused because of it. This shame should motivate them to be better people rather than killing the messenger (women and feminists). Killing the messenger and blaming it is the most coward and low conscious thing to do. Feminists can't decide for men or do the work for them to become better men, this is up to them.
  5. While men are definitely hurt by patriarchy, they are not exploited as much as women are. This is why they never call patriarchy out in the same way women do. Feminists have never failed men in the way patriarchy has. People like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson are the very men who harm and exploit men but point the finger at women and feminism only to distract them from this fact.
  6. Young people were born into a neoliberal, postmodernist, and nihilistic society. They are the symptom of the problem, not the issue. Older people talk about them arrogantly and get offended by their behavior, but this is only because young people, unconsciously and without realizing it, hold up a mirror to older generations, reflecting the horrible state of society something that older generations usually put a blind eye on and love to brush under the rug. Instead of questioning how they, as adults, contributed to this environment with their ignorance and stupidity, it is always easier to mock and make fun of younger people. Which is a behavior of a bully. It is easier to hurt someone who is weaker than them to make themselves feel good about themselves rather than confront powerful and wealthy people or do an inner observation. This is why I will never be the grumpy old woman who complains about younger generations. I would rather complain about the politicians and the corrupted adults. There is a trend of young people who are aware of the issues in their generation and actually do attempts to gain back their attention span, literacy skills and and more analog and slow living.
  7. Since we live in a patriarchal society built by men for men, with a majority of men holding power, I think that men are more responsible for teaching younger men to use their sexuality in a way that does not exploit women’s suffering. Men are socialized to view sexuality and sex in such a distorted way that what brings them arousal is control, violence, and domination of female bodies (death and destruction) rather than raw eroticism (life and creativity). There is no problem with sexuality per se, this is part of being human. And I wish there were more healthy education about it, which society is lacking. Yes, most people are like animals, but we should strive to do better to become human, for God’s sake.
  8. Nature is many things, including egalitarian. People say that nature is cruel and violent, but this is a myopic view of nature. It is far more complex and diverse. Human nature is also more complex and diverse. An egalitarian society is a society in which leadership is truly earned through wisdom, skills, and abilities (rather than taken by force) and is also situational. Humans did live that way for millions of years, so this is not impossible. If I had to build a society from scratch now and select the shared values, I would build it with a more matriarchal leaning. I'd keep the healthy masculine values and balance it with more feminine values like community rituals, beauty, spirituality, motherhood, and children, because from my perspective this is the right thing to do and can benefit everyone, as it is more aligned with our human needs. But I am biased because I do not benefit much from this system, which is heavily leaning on masculine values while repressing the feminine. It actually contradicts most of my values. For some, especially those who have privilege in this society and are in a convenient position, my view can be threatening.
  9. Yes. Given the fact that women globally work twice as much as men and earn half of what men earn, using what you have as a young, beautiful woman as an opportunity to improve your survival situation is very rational. It is also amusing that privileged men who have never been in their position criticize these women’s character rather than criticizing the society that set the conditions for it to begin with. And then those women are seen as the predators who are scamming poor men, rather than the true victims of the system they really are. Men can do better. Young men should be held accountable for their lustful behavior and develop some character instead of consuming content that exploits the vulnerable position of women in society.
  10. It depends on SD. The foundation of a nation-state is Blue, and people in Blue are often the patriots willing to die for the state. Orange is too individualistic for that, and Green doesn’t understand what the point of wars is to begin with or why humans can’t just be one big family. The reality is that borders require sacrifice in blood to protect the inhabitants of the territory, with its collective identity and shared culture and values, from other hostile cultures. This is an inconvenient truth, but someone has to do this labor until humanity is more developed.
  11. Trauma survivors, especially those who have done inner work, are like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
  12. I think that people, especially conservatives, but not only, confuse sex with gender. Sex is a biological fact, there are literal physical and hormonal differences between males and females. It is mostly pretty obvious who is a male and who is a female. Gender, man or woman, on the other hand, is a social construct. It is a role, a persona, a performance. The characteristics of the role depend on the society. Women and men are not born women and men, they learn it, they are socialized into it. If we talk about masculine and feminine energy, both sexes have both. Every individual has its unique combination and balance of feminine and masculine energy.
  13. This is indeed legendary.
  14. In my opinion, depression in this modern, stressful, meaningless, and nihilistic society arises because it is not aligned with our emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs as human beings. It is something most people experience at least once in their life. I think depression is a normal, rational, and healthy reaction to this type of society. When society is sick, it is natural to feel depressed and anxious. This is not a personal failure but a systemic issue. The scary people are those who can live in this dead environment without feeling depressed or anxious, probably because they delude themselves, cope in some way, or due to genetic factors. Delusion in particular can be a great help in surviving such an environment. Narcissistic people are very good at it. However, not everyone can delude themselves to that extent. The most depressed people are usually the most realistic ones. I think that if society were more ritualistic, valued play as much as work, and embraced more feminine qualities, people would be less depressed. Highly intelligent people are often socially isolated and misunderstood, which can contribute to depression. But I don’t think high intelligence alone causes it. Anyone can become depressed if their basic needs aren’t met, humans and animals alike. In my opinion, the best cure for depression (besides sleep, exercise, nutrition, etc.) is to find ways to meet the psychological, emotional and spiritual needs that the system fails to provide.
  15. Yes, I live in the north. Thanks for the advice, I’ll give it a try. I like tea 😊
  16. What if from an NHI perspective you understand Love as much as this orangutan understands what he is doing 😊
  17. From my observation and study of my dreams, I see them broadly as portals to information/inspiration. I try not to dismiss them and write down every dream, because it may contain something valuable, no matter how silly it seems. Different dreams carry different kinds of information. Some are simply the “junk” of the subconscious, parts of our psyche we are mostly unaware of which can be valuable, especially for shadow work. They can reveal repressed feelings, needs, desires, and even fears that appear as nightmares. Sometimes dreams place us in situations where we must make decisions or solve problems related to real life, as the subconscious never rests. Some dreams seem to predict future events. From personal experience and stories of others, these dreams usually occur shortly before the event and are relatively rare. Some dreams are messages from the deceased. People often dream of loved ones within a year of their passing, and these dreams can feel especially vivid and real. Some dreams feel like spontaneous out-of-body or astral experiences in other dimensions of reality. In these people may encounter unusual beings or entities (NHI). These dreams often feel extremely detailed and vivid, almost indistinguishable from physical reality, and may carry spiritual messages. They can resemble a DMT-like experience. There are also lucid dreams, which are less about receiving information and more about consciously influencing the dream. This requires practice, as it’s easy to forget that you are dreaming. Other dreams unfold like well-crafted stories in entirely different realities, almost like watching a movie. Some dreams are more literal, though most are symbolic. Understanding dream symbolism both collective and personal can be helpful in interapting them. This is why in my opinion it’s important to track dreams. it helps reveal patterns and recurring themes and is a powerful tool for self-understanding... perhaps the best one. Dreams in general remain a mysterious phenomenon. What your personal dreams are like?
  18. All good, as long as no one plays Light Yagami. Sometimes people don’t know how to handle God realization without it becoming an ego thing. It’s never about identity or dominance or control over others, it’s a deeply internal and private process. Once one “finds the Death Note” (metaphorically) and “see the Shinigami’s face” they don’t go around harming people just because they can or because they are bored. They observe.
  19. Yes, the judiciary is unlikely to approve it. Some days there are four or five a day, and other days there are none. On average it’s one to two per day. I suppose it’s more frequent in your area?
  20. There was already a death penalty carried out against a Nazi in Israel, his name was Adolf Eichmann.
  21. The pup 😍 I'm genuinely tried of waking up to alerts in the middle of the night with cortisol levels of 9000000. How are you? What do you think about the recent law passed in the Knesset today?
