I just wrote about it deeply to my audience (I got feedback telling me I should write a book about it) It goes something like this: --- Groupthink makes you believe your peak years are your 20s. Why? Sex, alcohol, party, healthy, little responsibilities... Your body responds, your mind is fresh, everything is new and you can 'maximize dopamine'. But what happens when the law of diminishing returns starts to work against you? (and it will). What happens when new things are no longer exciting? Thats the 30 year old dip. And a huge gap is created between guys that make a shift and the ones who just give up. Most people buy the lie 'your 20s are your prime', because they are trapped in pleasure seeking. And that doesnt work after 30. People need a shift. A shift towards spirituality, life purpose and self-education. A shift towards eudaimonia, mindfulness, bliss, peace, awakening. A shit towards enjoying simple things in life. Things that are not glamorous per se. Leo has a video titled: ''why valuable things take time''. Well, thats true. You can go have sex, or get drunk tonight, but thats not the good life. The good life is more sophisticated than that. The good life are the things I mentioned above. And that requires work, patience, discipline, integrity and maturity. Damn, even as I go through a challenging period in my life now, I feel that the negative emotions Im feeling are more 'pure and deeper' that the ones I felt when I was younger. - This is top tier stage orange advice: And most people need to play the orange-green game for a couple decades (It seems Kant was a party guy until 40...) But what 1stMan does not see is the spiritual side; so for us, age can be an even bigger upside. +40 is when you can get really deep results in spirituality, life purpose and self-awareness. For me the keys, now getting into my 40s are: -Health: Strength training, healthy nutrition and stretching/mobility training -Life purpose -Spirituality -Constant self-education -Optimism/Vitalism And of course, arguably the most important thing of all: Life really does begin at 40. Up until then, you are just doing research," -Carl Jung

Top tier video. I was getting distracted by tons of things lately and I was noticing that I was being pulled back into groupthink. Just 1 hour in and found it truly valuable. Time to get back to the drawingboard.

Yeah, the left is totally wrong about immigration. They wont admit that, because admitting that would be accepting the far-right premise. Its obvious that the numbers of immigration in Europe and the US is getting out of hand. Some people live in their bubble, but when they travel to some specific cities they realize whats really happening (because they wont accept the data). I know people that vote for the left but admit that the far right is correct about immigration. Its not about hate, its about whats best for your country and for your people. Its about having solid borders, the same way you have them at your home. You invite people in, yes, but there is a solid standard.

Of course its clearly demonstrated A quick google search is enough to find out.

hahah the second paragraph is exactly what most right wing parties propose. In fact if you say that to most leftist, they would label you as 'extremist' or 'fascist'

This is a easy one. You can have an awakening on psychedelics and change nothing in your life. Your baker could have and awakening last year on dmt and you wouldnt know. You dont transform into an Osho-like character.

Its not an experience. When the self disolves and you realize you are One, there is no experience. You can label that after the fact. The ego can recall it like that. But its not. If you get drunk and somehow you have an insight that your wife is cheating on you, and you are correct, then that substance showed you the truth. Is that a non legit way to get that realization? The truth was there all the time. You couldnt see it. But now you see it.

Mold? lol These people live in their own bubble of health optimization...

but are you genuinely and permanently directly conscious of your true nature or the nature of existence? No. You will just have memories of exceptional experiences that you thought gave meaning to something, and it may help you challenge some conventional assumptions, but it won’t give you a direct consciousness of the nature of you or reality. >Enlightenment is not the same as awakening. Direct means direct, drugs can NOT be direct—by definition they are completely indirect, since they are not YOU! Direct means it must be you, not an experience or perception of any kind that you have, which are actually both indirect >Yes they can. He talks about experiences or perception, but the ''drug'' can get you to Oneness, the colapse between subject and object. It seems like he talks about having cool visions, which of course is not awakening. You can totally understand what you are without experiencing/perceiving nothing new (0 changes in the content, just a change in CONTEXT). Therefore, no drug, no change of state, no perceptive-experience, no matter how fantastic it is, can produce a direct consciousness. >He still asumes that the drug cannot erase (momentarily) the object-subject duality. These are true believers, who may also pursue Buddhist teachings and have lived in monasteries and such. But all of these drug induced experiences and rituals haven’t changed their life at all, except very temporarily, and certainly hasn’t increased their consciousness at all. So, there’s that. >LOL. Cherrypicking. And if someone says to him that he had a proper awakening with drugs, he would dismiss it. So damned if you do, damned if you dont. I know two people who’ve had enlightenments that tried this drug to see what it was about. They report that it is a strong and demanding drug that can have positive or negative effects, but none of it increases consciousness or is enlightenment. >Same as before. There are yoguis who took mushrooms, and said that yes, that it was the same state they reached from years of meditation. So, who's right?

Dan Peña just read 5 books in his life. And one of them is his book lol

Dude, this is so deep. Had the same a couple years back in an awakening. Almost no one talks about this.

LOOL

I guess with age you become a bit more angry (more dense energy like he says), but take George Carlin for example. Hyper funny. He transmuted anger into comedy like no one else.

oh oh Just the first 2 minutes. He always respond to: ''will this approach work?''' '' FIELD TEST IT' But keeps talking about psychedelics, and not testing this.

Owen was so funny back in the day. Damn it. It was better than most standup guys. Also Jeffy, Max, Julien pre-2015 were very entertaining. Maybe RSD makes more money now, but it has no soul.
