But it was needed. at the end of Breaking bad, we knew what happened to all important characters except for Jesse, and El camino delivered that relief.

bet. now imma learn that language, recruit bunch of of birds and create a theft empire. they steal money for me, i give them unlimited food, good business.

@Joseph Maynor can you explain more? do you have any youtube videos or posts about this?

the movie seems interesting and unique, but I'm a guy and too sexist to watch it since the main character is a girl 😪 (JK imma watch it asap and tell you what i think)

@gettoefl This is poetic, this is what I'm talking about. an insight like this won't help you practically with anything, it'll just help with understanding and how you relate to things.

@Eskilon that's what i said, it doesn't help you execute, but it helps with how you relate to how you execute and your results.

here's my attempt at answering that. The key distinction is this: not all truths operate at the same level. There are two layers we're dealing with: At the relative level, cause and effect are real. Effort matters. Habits matter. Identity matters. If you want to build muscle, you train. If you want to make money, you create value. This is the level where self-help, psychology, and skill-building actually work. At the absolute level, everything collapses. There is no separate self, no control, no inherent meaning. From this perspective, nothing is truly happening in the way you think it is. Both are true. But they serve completely different functions. Absolute truth is not meant to tell you what to do. It’s meant to change how you relate to what you do. For example, you still go to the gym, push hard, and track your progress. But at the same time, you’re less attached to the outcome. Failure doesn’t crush you as much. Success doesn’t inflate you as much. There’s a kind of lightness behind the effort. Another example: you still work on your business, improve your skills, and make strategic decisions. But you’re not psychologically dependent on it for your sense of self. That’s the real role of deep truth: orientation, not execution. Execution comes from the relative level. Freedom comes from the absolute level. If you ignore the relative, you become passive and ineffective. If you ignore the absolute, you become tense and overly attached. The goal is not to choose one. It’s to operate in both, acting fully, while understanding that, at the deepest level, there’s nothing to hold onto.

I'm Curious why we hurt ourselves ? what the mechanism behind that?

@PolyPeter biggest picture helps with understanding stuff accurately so i don't misunderstand you.

@CARDOZZO let's just focus on the point. using depression in this context should be taken lightly, and understand it as this pop culture version of it.

@PolyPeter okay now the picture is clearer. so would you say the breakthrough happens once one is conscious of what God is and what existence is? then comes the emotional work that'll serve as a way out? if we all compress that into one sentence, would it be "truth shall set you free" ?

@CARDOZZO i mean, you never experienced depression?

oh boy, i might have some bad news for you. your next break up will be as intense.

@UpperMaster the way i would put it is, vulnerability is expressed after dealing with neediness, not before. since you are being vulnerable because you aren't afraid to lose them or their validation. that's what vulnerable means, you give them a chance to reject you. if you are needy, it would be hard to be vulnerable. neediness is broad, it can be for many reason, it could be due to lack of abundance, or insecurity, or trauma, or conditioned beliefs, or inexperience, or dependance on externa validation.... for me personally, it was because of childhood trauma, i developed fearful avoidant attachment style because of that. (if you don't know, search what that is and you'll get a bit of understanding)

😂😂 bang on

what do you mean by emotional work exactly? So metaphysical understanding helps as well? this what i got from this: emotional work and metaphysical understanding.

didn't even see this line, it sums it all up.

@integral nice i love this framing. i always use the mental model of seeing everything as a skill, i guess i didn't apply it on this one 😀 reflecting back, it really is a skill, but one that is harder for some and easier for others.

@UnbornTao yed depression is a broad term but understand it in this context. I'm talking about that nihilistic feeling from being striped from conditioned external systems of meaning and value. you become misunderstood, judged, lonely, can't fit in, and lost and see life as one giant meaningless absurd existance. you know, the stereotypical saying of "ignorance is a blessing" and "awareness hell" there's this lame ass quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky that goes: "the more you understand the world, the more you destroy yourself. that's why fools are happy and intelligent people live in loneliness"

loss of direction, meaning and clarity. and identity uncertainty. too much uncertainty without clear direction. (there are exceptions, like loss of loved ones, struggle with survival, physiological stuff like you said...)

@Natasha Tori Maru yeah, but it's more like a skill than a mindset. it is play for extroverts because they're naturals. and True, Leo has done it and also his videos around game and relationships are king.

what do you mean by multidimensional intelligence? you mean holistic? or more specific?

@ROOBIO i had the same problem, and this is what i wish i knew before: distinction between thinking mode and social mode. thinking mode is being in your head using logic and trying to figure out things with thinking, observation and analysis. that's what introverts are best at. social mode is a skill, it's not logical. you can't think your way into it. it's a state where your nervous system is calm, you are present, spontaneous and have high self trust in handling social situations. find balance between shutting off either for the favour of the other i used to always turn on thinking mode, like an anxious autistic mf, which backfired in every social situation.

@AION Without a calorie deficit, no amount of “metabolism fixing” will cause fat loss. But improving your metabolism makes that deficit happen more easily, sustainably and more healthy.

this is exactly what i’m talking about: i saw this viral post saying: “this is the universal male experience… staying up at night stressing how am i gonna make this work and gaslighting yourself into believing you will” that’s not ambition. that’s trauma + identity pressure + hero arc being romanticized. it's the "i need to suffer to be worthy" that's too much unnecessary suffering. real ambition is way less dramatic: boring routine, boring systems, trial and error and long term thinking. no hero arc. no self-gaslighting. just systems, iteration and repetition.
