I think this will ultimately be predicated upon these 2 factors: 1. The kind of breeding ground each particuliar country has for these reactionary, post modernism twisting ideas, (each individual breeding ground consisting of common denominator national traits such as the ammount of ignorance, selfishness and the historical self awareness of each country) 2. Success of Russia on the world stage, both projected and a real one - seeing as there is no actual ideology behind these ideas (as opposed to what Goebbels was trying to do, which was very ideological and focused internally) and they adapt to each individual country, their only goal is successfull Russia, then by that logic success of Russia is also a neccesary component for the emotional impactfullness of these ideas In my opinion, even in the worst case scenarios (which is, for example, disintegration of the EU as a result of brainwashing effects of these ideas), Russians wouldn't be able to capitalize on these advantage, because they are a weak country and their only strength is nukes, which they cannot really use. And there are countries that are never going to get brainwashed by these ideas, ever, because of the threat Russia posses to them.

Hell exists and is possible to access. Just take some datura seeds and you'll see for yourself

I'm going to start volunteering somewhere. The questions to answer are at what, where, when and how I'm gonna be volunteering, in that order

Yeah, well. People's definition of what enlightement actually means and entails varies wildly to begin with. There are also many schools of thinking when it comes to spirituality, so to speak, I would dare to guess, based on your posts, that you took something from Leo but mostly lean towards neo advainta's no self kind kind of thing, or maybe both in equal degree, I don't know. Anyway, because of the deeply personal and subjective nature of this topic, it is very difficult to set goals. Also I notice that the kind of people interested in these topics are, in a very broad and crude terms, either deeply introverted and/or emotional thinkers, as opposed to being a combination of extroverted and/or analytical thinker. If you ever so much as heard of these topics, chances are you tend to spend large stretches of time alone, or you think more emotionally and intuitivelly, or both. But if you are an analytical logical extrovert, based on my experience they'd just brush all this stuff off and not even even consider it, dismissing it entirely, and just focus pretty much on survival matters. LOL

I'm not doing any of the "work" at all, not even meditation which I used to be doing back in the days, for at least 1 hour a day. Nor do I have any intention at all to take any psychoactive drugs, or do any contemplating, deconstructing or whatever. I did watch a big chunk if the videos tho, but ultimately right now I am embodying a human, so for all intents and purposes I might as well be a human, and therefore act and think like one. Though I do acknowledge that the core ideas of the stuff that's being claimed here is probably true with high probability, seeing as I have never managed to find any satisfying counter arguments against them, which of course is impossible due to their incredible depth I don't think it's really even possible to have a goal in spirituality

This is complete bullshit in my opinion

Yeah, they're the ideal choice if you feel like you don't really need your gums (or mouth in general) anymore

Except the reason behind that narrative wasn't ignorance, they knew tobacco and cigarettes were harmfull but they chose to keep it a secret because they were corrupt and funded by the tobacco industry, which even went as far as paying off scientists to create fake studies that supposedly proved tobacco's harmlesness, creating massive marketing campaigns starring movie stars and athletes, and even using feminism for their own benefit (a move feminists surely aren't unfamiliar with, LUL) pushing this idea that it's hip and cool and that independent women smoke LEL Nowadays tobacco industry, though still massive, is being held on a leash and that leash is getting tighter and tighter as the time goes on. And that's because the current narrative (that smoking is BS and harmfull) is... wait for it... CORRECT

What's next? Hidden benefits of snorting coke? LEL

I volunteer to manage his money, alright, and completely free of charge as well. Unreal

You're the ultimate God promoter aren't you Not sure what I'm seeking really, just sort of coasting throught life taking care of practical benign daily matters. Can't understand how some people want concepts like "marriage"

Marriage has no meaning or weight behind it nowadays I feel, it doesn't mean shit really. It used to mean something in the past, althought it always was kind of an illusion, but definitely a stronger one in the past. Furthermore, I don't even know if I'd be able to find someone I could marry, so I can't understand how I could even consider it as a goal of some sorts, it's like asking "Why go to Saturn?" Well shit, idk man. Seems kinda out of reach, no?

It is so much more satisfying to just do shit, than to fuckin talk about it

That's absurd. If even so much as one more country, such as Poland for example, would join the conventional war against Russia, that would already be too much for them I reckon. Imagine the whole Scandinavia, all 3 Baltic states, Germany, France and Britain joining in as well, that means bye bye for Russia in pure conventional war, not in the operation Barbarossa 2.0 sense ofc, but that'd surely be more than enough for Russia to not be able to advance even a milimiter more and to have their army decimated in the process

The degree to which this is true is up for the debate and depends on the sources from which you took these information. I can say the exact same thing about Russia (massive emigrantion of the young people, - especially at the start of the war - huge ammounts of young men dying, low birth rates). I also see news that Russian economy is kinda irreversably going down the shitter, with really no options left on the Russian side to do anything about it. I don't think BRICS would really save it either. Aren't country's economy and military industry inherently intertwined? Reality is that Russians failed to take Kiev, got pushed back from Kharkiv and Kherson, and took months to take Melitopol (even tho it was hopelessly surrounded and defended by low ammount of men). They failed to take out Ukraine quickly (which was the original goal) and had to actually start mobilizing men to match the strength of Ukraine army, which already wasn't ideal scenario to begin with. From that moment onwards they've been stuck in the attritional war they've been hoping they'll somehow going to win eventually, but the territory gains are abysmally small (almost equivalent to WW1 territory shifts) and have to be paid for by large ammounts of technical and manpower casualties. Arguably their biggest victory was imo ironically their defence of Zaporizhzhia oblast back in summer 2023, which was a really bad move on the Ukrainean part, but apart from that... I don't think the ammount of casualties are worth these incremental gains they've been able to get. And it is going to catch up with them eventually

Men + women. Obviously. Women can't create a life alone, or am I missing something? LOL Let them make life and let's see if they can defend themselves - and the offspring - against Stone Age wild predators. And also hunt, and build shelter all by themselves. Then we'd see how things really are and who needs who

Why should they? Ofc this is a decision only Ukraine has the rights to make, and noone else. But I don't see any strong evidence Russia is winning this war, and if we examine this whole war, from it's inception back in february 2022 up until today, it all seems like a costly failure and a debacle, really. And there are almost daily reports of their fuck ups, in this and that region, this attack failed, that resuply effort failed, ofc Ukrainean situation is not good either but if they really were on the brink of collapse, we wouldn't see so many failures being reported. This war reminds me of that Winter War offensive Soviets unleashed on the Fins, except that did not last for more than 3 years and Finnish army was a lot weaker in comparison. Ukraine is a whole other animal which Russians underestimated heavilly

Almost all advice I've gotten on the internet (including from these videos and this forum right here) is, for X reasons, largely inapplicable to my own life. I guess the core reason is that none of these advice givers really knows you, nor do they care about you or your situation, so it's just going to be innacurate and not tailored to your circumstances. I'm not even going to comment this guy as he is just another one of these dudes/people in general who seem to do this and benefit from it. Maybe it's time to stop giving these people needless attention

Vast majority of yall would literaly not survive without men, especially not in the earliest periods of human history such as the Stone Age. Men would survive just fine without women, in pure physical means. And this is still the case even today imo, with all the technologies we have. I feel like most women don't fully realize this, until they find out for themselves how non essential they really are in physical survival tasks, or they observe a man doing it much better and quicker. The whole civilization had been built on the backs of man, it's actually pretty crazy to think about

I could be a bit wrong as well, maybe increasing your potential to it's max, both mentally and physically, reaps it's own rewards regardless of it's value being or not being acknowledged by other people. Or maybe both you and the others are the arbiters of value. It's hard to say. Life is confusing

I think it is a cool thing to try to surpass your physical and mental limits and reach your potential, the question is what is it really worth, as @Schizophonia very accuratelly pointed out, if all that effort goes towards our postmodern narcisistic constructs, ultimately all your self improvement efforts only have meaning so long as the over arching objectives transcend your individual ego and your actions are providing a noticeable benefits to the society, and the society recognizes it as such (i.e. the usefullness). Like, imagine if David Goggins was doing all of this stuff he's been doing but noone really gave a shit about him, he wouldn't be taken seriously at navy seal trainings, etc. Do you think he'd remain so consistent at his efforts? I highly doubt it

He probably once heard something about Alexander the Great existing and he thought "Yup, this shit's been going on for thousands of years, if I say it I'm going to look like a sophisticated genius"

If you feel like you need no more fun in your life, just make some kids. It's basically guaranteed you'll stop having fun for the rest of your life. Imo having children is a very specific kind of responsibility, in that it's the only kind that hinders fun in life. You can have a job and have fun, you can have any kind of responsibility and have fun. Once you have kids it's over. Which is why I'm never making any, besides the other reason being that I don't like managing and I don't like being managed, I dislike both ends of the spectrum. It's annoying. Fortunatelly God has designed me in such a way which is very complimentary to this aspiration of mine

I don't like it either. It gives me an eerie feeling, as if I'm slowly conditioning myself into a narcisist just by reading that all of my ideas are great and that I'm great whatever I'm saying, of course this is impossible seeing as narcisism is a genetic and early childhood conditioning sort of mental pathology, but regardless constant ego gratification is unpleasant. Even just for the fact that it is repetitive and boring, and doesn't challenge your ideas I think it is actually a positive thing that a lot of people are complaining about this, means we are not so doomed
