Great point. Fair. I guess the point is to assess where most of your actions, behaviors, and motivations come from, rather than what one actually understands.

@Leo Gura watching you achieve a new level of awakening between 2016 and 2024 was like watching Goku break through "the highest level any Saiyan has ever reached" over and over in Dragonball Z 😁

Haha indeed — it goes to show. Absurd if you think about it.

Indeed. Sleep too. Helps making better decisions. Society should create ways to facilitate good quality sleep. Bryan Johnson pushes for this — some of the positives aspects of his work.

I think really the question is how do we upgrade society and individuals to become long-term, sustainable thinkers.

It's a systemic problem. Both policies and people are short-sighted, in that they don't have the capacity to think and act in alignment with long-term outcomes. For example, some of the causes of most chronic diseases are being overweight and consuming excess calories and refined foods. Thus, most people could avoid or delay — with some probability — CVD, T2Diabetes, etc., if they had a healthy diet. Yet, they continue to consume the same crappy food for years and decades. On the collective level, eating crappy food is seen as fun, encouraged (e.g., tax reduction for some junk-food companies), and normalized. So, the modus operandi of physicians is just a reflection or this more fundamental way in which people and society operate. Whenever we meet a new physician, we should expect they operate short-sightedly. Which implies that getting appropriate healthcare requires effort to research and curate whoever you choose to be your doctor.

Great post, fully agree.

Self-knowledge, courage, and self-reliance are fundamental. Know what your values and principles are, and act in accordance with them. Trust that by acting from first principles you will achieve your long-term goals. Authenticity is closely related to integrity. So also be more authentic. Another important facet: think long term, sustainably. Short-term thinking is a recipe for acting without integrity because you think you can get away with stuff.

Wonderful. I did a DMT trip this Sunday that looked so much like this. After coming back from the "infinity of colors", I opened my eyes and starred at my fireplace, which I transformed into a small spiritual corner with a few statues and plants. The Buddha heads and Ganesha were alive.

Read Corey Wayne's book 15x and apply it to the tee. No joke.

Good question. I'd guess it probably arose in the Mystery method and whatnot era. It's a shitty name indeed, haha. They can do it both consciously and unconsciously. In my definition both qualify because what matters is the purpose behind the shit test (feminine trying to unground the masculine — basically seeking reassurance that the masculine figure in question can indeed ground itself). The less grounded a masculine figure appears to the woman, the more she will test it. And it doesn't matter for how long you've known someone. For the feminine what matters is that the masculine shows up grounded in the now. These tests are not only verbal statements as it's usually portraid in pickup, they can come in many different forms.

Shit tests are about the feminine trying to unground the masculine to see if it can.
