Great stuff! When you're going through this phase, pursue that which inspires you most, and treasure that self-inspired energy. Best wishes.

There isn't going to be a bubble or one that pops. What we see is a hostage situation and the robbers aren't going home without their money. Which means at best, we see controlled demoliion, and at worse, widespread instability that invariably leads to increasingly more feudalistic geopolitics. This is a global condition now that was already pre-set through earlier decade long forecasting anticipating what is now societal predictive programming finding its natural tunnel. As one country falls another will rise, this is not a war among companies anymore, or countries, its geopolitical oligarchy, that's the overtone in the public's blindspot now. They've already run their simulations on what's to come and now they're just going to minimise the damage along the desired trajectory, and maximise it at certain price points because the only philosophy that remains competitive in this kind of game is that the "end justifies the means". That's the bank robbers code, and its all or nothing now. Case study examples of "look its popping" are just looking too young into the future of a technology that is invariably going to undergo far more developmental trajectories than what anyone anticipated pre-ten years ago.

This feels more like advertising from a personal however minor ego backlash than it does a reconciliation on personal views around relationships. You started off saying you can't do relationships because of the games, then you finish with "if it wasn't for the 'beautiful souls' (likely around age 25)". This feels like the games continued in terms of how you pursued women, you never found your lover and so now you feel regret for the intimacy you did achieve but have now lost, or haven't fully understood in a way that you can act it out properly in reality. And now you're pretending this was your internal doctrine the whole time all the way through, when in reality it now feels like a defense against potential pain from the intimacy that you actually seek. This creates a circular argument with yourself to justify why you will never achieve the relationship you want that's actually based in reality, not an idealistic image you have of your partner and real down to earth relationships. Just my off the cuff feedback. You do you.

Heading to Seoul soon, Henderson is new, KL will likely be my next marathon destination (just a great idea to run through all the beautiful spots, arrive at the airport and just jump on the plane straight to India). Yeah, I like peace as a medium, but I need a bit of adventure unless the tranquility is a disciplined interval, or for say, raising children.

Most people grew up doing sports of some kinds as kids, so they never needed a gym trainer outside of going deeper. Most people not only didn't have the right exposures to therapeutic techniques, this absence became funnel into every other medium that could corrupt it further; the entire entertainment industry (music, films, video games) comparatively speaking and a toxic social media environment that dually contributed to individual to group and back to further depending individual issues. It's not complicated. When a system is able to offload its management to other systems without having to be accountable to itself, it faces higher entropy which degrades the very functions that make it a phenomenon stable enough to call it a system in the first place. This is why simple yet effective ideas circulating like taking on greater responsibility and ownership in one's life creates the challenge positive stress needed in a person's life to restore and even better functions. Hierarchically, this also tends to be self-reinforcing here too where if someone is say higher up in a company structure their brains tend to on average work a little better relative to the proper exercising of the functions responsible to that role. It doesn't necessarily mean they are smarter than someone lower on the totem pole, though in general, higher status begets better brain function. That said, irrespectively, simply owning your life with as much responsibility as the senior position you should assign that level to, should beget most of the positive impacts here. Including with respect to how doing so aligns with the same esteem as moving up in seniority does to your own life. Isn't it interesting that the science shows that most people on average won't value their own lives as much as their social status reflects? That's the inference to draw on the correlation between social status and improved health, cognitive function and psychological stability. And its because evolutionarily, social status is inherently tied to feelings of safety, where its absence, can be correlated with nearly every therapeutic anxiety under the sun supposedly needing psychological intervention. Here's my straight up advice: For anyone, if you can genuinely find an amazing therapist, good for you, take that amazingness to generate a learning feedback loop that leads you to higher and higher self-mastery in a rigorous way and you'll be self-justifying your choice in a rational thought out way. The reality is however, that although I cannot account from personal experience, most people really struggle to find a good gym trainer here, simply because one, great therapists are rare in a cognitively ageing economy as per the first reference regarding degrading standards, and two, the psychological gym equipment just isn't amazing otherwise success rates would be reflected in the accounting books much more. Bottom-line, you must take personal responsibility for yourself in these regards. And here's a thing, that'd a damn good thing, and its going to make you feel damn good and empowered in the way I suggested including the positive cognitive and psychological benefits that will ensue. Interesting isn't it? By someone becoming their own saviour, and truly believing in that by taking on full responsibility and ownership there, they become the very person they feel safe around to feel loved again, and to love again, imbued with all the same psychological and cognitive benefits of the 'higher (social) status'; I stand by that hypothesis. It's a paradoxical way to heal self-love and for someone to embrace their lives fully, something that I wish for everyone here to experience in a healthy way. Best wishes.

Phenomenological Functionalism is how I would term what I said. My approach described is honestly what I would prescribe as at least one aspect of teaching a child to a person of any age on how to keep a diary, and or, what one main aspect of journalling should encompass. With the only limitation for the latter being that an adult typically has far less time unless they're studying psychology in some long form medium like university that it becomes reinforcing. This is GTA 6 for self-awareness without the need for a billiondollar budget but may just turn you into a billionaire one day, or at least if you start from a young age heh. My parenting techniques are going to be advanced kiddos!

It's a good idea (in part). It's not original in the way its implied, but its a good starting point. A purist philosophy must start from a functionalist approach. This isn't conceptual based, there are no a priori's. So directionally, presently there's a lot to miss and want there still for it to be workable. Pure Philosophy is a good baseline reading though, and its something not just Leo, but everyone should seek to expand on for their own template of contemplative reflection. Purist Philosophy sounds like a decent headline for an expression of adapting a "first principles" approach to philosophy. The first step is to identify the categories that you're going to be working with. First and foremost, they are functional. Like the function of being aware. "Functionalist Philosophy", which I would refer to as a way to engage in and develop philosophical introspection along with the self-awareness that conducts it. Functionalism is actually already a branch of philosophy, however it is mainly taught as a conceptual ideal of philosophy more than a first person practice which is how I would advocate it, something that I imagine would be more along the lines of what Leo may at least want to make as a central tenet concerning. The best way to explain my own use of Functionalism here from a "purist philosophy" approach is as follows. Imagine you never existed until this moment. You're in front of a desktop with a keyboard in front of you. Your task is to map your entire consciousness until you have completely mastered all of the functions that advance your personal agency. This isn't merely the naming of functions typical of the formal referencing of the term, it is to recursively interact with your awareness continually until those names eventually lead to mastery. You have no other task. You do not remember anything other than this one objective about what exists and or what could exist. Information merely appears to you in the moment and you analyse it as it appears. "Analysis" however appears not as "I am analysing" but an awareness over the analytical function itself, where you seek to become intimately aware of how you are analysing information. The moment you are saying "I am doing X" without having first mapping it, you are failing the task. In this sense, you hold a "revelational" awareness throughout as you are experiencing awareness self-referentially comprehend existenec moment to moment. This makes "Functionalist Philosophy" inherently self-referential, self-evidential and self-corrective. Doing it accurately, encompasses meta-recursive dialogue, where belief, claims, proclamations, dogmas, certainties, are tied to the awareness stating them, thereby reflective of that level of meta weight, with the level of absolutism held solely meta-relationally, not as a personal declaration or sermon. I urge the reader to give it a go. Relevant challenge questions for the daring: How long can you begin doing this task before you opt out and allow another story of consciousness begin to take over? What insights did you learn from doing this activity? How might you expand on practically applying the thought experiment better the second or third time around? Purist Philosophy, it's a good direction. But the battlefield needs some work, where it first and foremost must start operationally not semantically. As in "it does" more than "it knows", where knowing is understood in the recursive circular motion. That's where the least philosophical damage is done to truth, as best as a human can apprehend it within the restricted environment of our biological apparatus. Best wishes.

He gets paid to bring other people down. This is textbook. Classic 101 PSYOP on another person. I found it remarkable couple years back how easily swayed people supposedly so interested in science were regarding. I called him out on it at the time, he then got into a comment war with me at the time. He lost. It was so hilarious, I couldn't believe how further immature he was. This is the problem when you're not simultaneously advancing your emotional intelligence with and in unity with your broader cognitive apparatus. Our status quo on emotional intelligence is still so incredibly underdeveloped, my goal within the next few months to generate at least a couple of new models that are hopefully useful concerning. The whole idea of retreating back in time, mapping emotions, learning how to process them in real time, while also temporally, at the same time as reorganising an emotion with wisdom coupled, combined with developing the memory as a symbolic interface to serve as a reminder and motivational anchor on how to navigate future situations is so much more advanced than doing a performative intellectual rant on a modern day intellectual. Maps and models to come, most of the hours are spent in the phenomenology. But yeah, its a paid defamation ATM.

Maturity is the movement from imitation to authorship. Life experience synthesised within those bindings, is a life path devoted to making each stage of growth there, sewn strong, while burning ties to the rest. Because we don't just imitate, or 'conform' to the 'other', the imitation begins as a conforming to an internal impulse, which means conformity first and foremost starts with imitating a projection within consciousness that betrays our own authorship. This is the difference between the true definition of democracy and autocracy, and the measurement of maturity in the agreements found within them. How much is someone giving up their right to vote, for this moment right now, for their state of consciousness and its direction? Are you going to be the simulator or the simulacrum? Maturity and agreement here, is what separates agreement from conformity.

Mathematics is my favourite skill to build, the physical body and the consciousness that abodes within it is my favourite tool to rebuild with that skill. To add, awareness is entirely concerned of that which it is aware of. Any degree of self-consciousness is to be by that measure aware of one's own limits of consciousness as that awareness exists in that moment. Mathematics provides the strictest measurement of those boundaries, an alertness to my own short-comings of that which I should already be aware of but am not, or that boundary that I should traverse with my consciousness but I have not. This is the purpose of self-aware consciousness, and awareness, the measurement of that. One's level of consciousness, is automatically gauged as a limit to which one is aware of their own level of consciousness relative to where it is not, most especially, be able to articulate in clear dialogue to oneself what further areas of awareness in consciousness one still needs to master. Morever, the present strategies one is undertaking in reducing the friction that should exist between the awareness of these short-comings and the pull one should have to close them. It is the mark of a mature consciousness to both be content with oneself and discontent, even restless, with the gap that exists in this awareness between the actual and the actualisable. That is the very purpose of life in the context of our growth for consciousness. Any postulation of consciousness at all, is presupposing a working model of consciousness with that postulation, and that postulation at the very least comes with it, a measurement of how aware someone is relative to that postulation's advancement. This is why it is so pertinent to any path of personal development once it has reached this path, to conceptualise the boundaryless with boundaries that mark out areas of potential growth. Imagination, empathy, heart-mind-body connection, cultural understanding, social intelligence, dreams, physical stamina, fortitude, delayal of gratification, etc. With all of these maximised what may we typically see? And is this a greater and higher expression of consciousness than otherwise would be? What are all the practical ways in which one can add these categories to their own frontiers? If one truly understands the infinite maturely, then at the very least, one can figure out how to pick up a pen, get a piece of paper out, and mark out their areas of growth for the day, in a joyful, well spirited, supportive way towards, while viewing themselves as infinitely microcosmic in that dance. One thing now becoming memeticised is how personal development has just been turned into this dopamine drug or just another life treadmill to run down, and there is definitely a lot of truth to that, however it presents itself with another trap. The purpose of personal development like the purpose of any other thing in life, is understood relative to the limits of the consciousness apprehending it, which includes the maturity to which development is appraised. Any degree of sophistication beyond that cultural trend, whether towards obsessive self-improvement reversing the sense of meaning it's designed to instil, or rebelling against it entirely, is in service to understand purpose relative to context, so let me paint that picture briefly. We have this single life before us and the mature support of the multiplicity of life surrounding us. This causality engenders frontier points, how do I give more of my life each day? How do I explore more of life each day? Anyone serious in this endeavour, must measure it, inclusive of both the peace of that striving and the fight beneath it (or vice versa). Measurement, is why any communication to civilisation, to the life that breaths this opportunity in this moment right now and the awareness to seize it, exists at all. Measurement is not just in the conceptual, it is in our evolutionary instincts, memories, emotions and deeper essences, even tribe consenses even if personal opinion tends to go against the grain. Mathematics, is just my own main measurement at present, simply because I have learned to align it with so many other areas of life from those noted frontiers and beyond: physical, mental, social, spiritual, etc development. Perceive yourself rightly as grand, sacred, humble and eager, and you'll know how to position yourself relative to grandiosity, and the skills that await their furthering just outside its frontiers. Grandiosity is not bad in and of itself, we have this first word 'grand', of which all life is by virtue of its existence, then we have 'iose' kind of like 'virtuoso', and one of the goals of a consciousness relative to present understandings is to make it more poetically real, where music is reflective of harmony in the chaos. The skill of learning how to be a 'grand viruoso' in the context of one's own movement forward, is the opposite of being grandiosely unhinged. It is the accurate and well-earned self-respect to which one acknowledges within themselves because they've have taken the time to measure themselves correctly, and therefore can own themselves fully in that space, while pushing its boundaries with the mature weight they've set. Grandiosity is the fuel to be your full self, but like every other word when it comes to fuller, deeper, higher consciousness, it presupposes that you are perceiving the word with the maturity that places limits on its potential short-comings. So that the potentialisation, which needs the acknowledgement of the grand as its fuel, can actually result into meaning made real. When we are born, we are born to become our parents. Then we are born to become our environments. Then we are born to become ourselves. Only to then become born again to become the world once more. Only to become, ourselves, again. Languages are great for consciousness expansion in unique often hidden ways. I am learning French, Korean, Ukrainian, Chinese, Italian, Greek and English. Oh, and the US Keyboard as opposed to the UK version. Meta-language is probably my biggest venture in mathematics, in imagination especially. Best wishes

If you make it a habit to exert yourself harder on your methodologies (i.e. exercise/s) designed to train you further than any potential unexpected challenge may push you, you are preparing yourself to win a war you never even needed to prepare for. You, and likely anyone, will also most likely become a far happier person, in fact its one of the least significant overflowing benefits. I know this from personal experience. Best wishes, strength and harmony.

China is a great spot about now. Bangkok and Shanghai especially convenient for those looking for a luxury lifestyle on a much lower western budget. Kuala Lumpur would be my second choice for the more nomadic entrepreneur. Best wishes.

Keep it up, stay aligned with your progress! Best wishes.

@Zenterus It's really important during this phase of your transition to find grounded people to echo grounded maturity during this transition. Stick to basics, habits, goals that gives you deeper contact with the grounded earth. Attune to the people that already mirror this. Use this feedback loop to teach yourself to ground yourself, while avoiding influences that do not mirror this echo. That will create the safe learning environment you need. Best wishes.

It's a good idea to have many different circles and friends across many different areas, inclusive of philosophy. One's own views have a hard time of finding a common centre to the point of rigidity when this occurs. That tends to work well with creative synthesis that acts as a conclusion that bridges. This has a recursive conversational positive concerning your own input to discussions as well. Now one's leaning in to genuinely learn over repeating back preconceived conclusions. This is the problem of isolating oneself either in one's own mind, or just one perspective. Let's have a look at mind as an acronym. M = Map > model > Memory > Meaning I = 'I' > Eye > perspective > Optics > infinity N = Network > nodes > novelty > navigation > nexus D = Domain > Dialect > diversity > dialogue > design One more I'd add to M, as a 5th like the rest, is "Multiplication". That's what we are, but we can forget that for every one human, they reflect not just themselves but a time period that is beyond us in our perspective of them, and they themselves in their perspective of themselves and the picture of the world at large including our own. We are mind multiplied, healthy discussions in recognition of this foster the greatest of creativity even with the least experienced of people. Best wishes, have a rad time.

Practical action, grounded presence. It's the end goal of all self-mastery, in the end. It's the natural unfolding of all of life. Humanity has misused its privileged ability to navigate their personal developmental trajectory. This is what happens when power is given in undifferentiated ways. Interestingly, the ability to distribute power externally is a lesson on how we distribute power internally, which is often the biggest roadblock for most people concerning practical action with grounded presence. Humanity weakens itself most by not recognising its own power, and it starts with only one human, not identifying their own. It is in absence of recognition, appreciation of the powers in our life, that we misuse and seek that which is not divine to our journey.

Keep the middle ground. Some get caught in theory. Some get caught in experience. Some get caught in the delusion in between. Best.

And why not the exact opposite? Let's say you are right, how would you know you are right? How much have you learned about your own mind? Your own imagination? Have you learned the lesson yet, of how to be perfectly content exploring the universe within your imagination, and not just content, but have genuinely realised the meaning and value of it in discovering wisdom? Purely as devil's advocate, to me a human must learn the art of learning how to find perfect joy within their own mind to the point they're able to spend a whole day, meaningfully exploring and expanding their imagination, without contact with the sensory world. For a whole day, however practically that can be done. On a practical level, my goal is to be able to distill this into a training for people enough that they can practice certain exercises, possibly categorised as more advanced, that teach them to not just find joy in life through their imagination, but to understand that joy is first and foremost in the mind itself and that for external pleasures, they are learned or at most, evolutionary (food, sex, etc). To find emptiness in the world through this training, followed by the natural fulfilment within that makes them want to create in the outer world as an expression of that cultivated inner world. Where their sense of meaning, is developed from the contact of understanding how its very architecture is constructed and engineered through not just their imagination, but the emotional drive, like learning to be driven from pure joy, in its design. In regular life, humans are pushed between X and y where their sense of happiness, at most, occurs at some random reactionary whim of our biology, something that's say normally associated to occur during either the pursuit of goals or their completion. This takes away a humans sense of control over the process of their own happiness, its any wonder humans remain trapped in an external dream they're either falsely believing will bring them everlasting happiness or that they're moving away from in the avoidance of unhappiness. The external world through cause and effect, promises a human by its very design that it cannot provide sustainable happiness, that it will rise up and down due to changing circumstances. Barely, is the world cultivated from within, where a human learns to explore their own imagination inwardly, in a way that is purely driven by their own emotions and awareness of their own emotions. One example I will implore the reader to attempt which I doubt many if any people have spent much time understanding about themselves, is as follows. Simply close your eyes after reading and imagine an apple in a regular 3D environment (hopefully *most* readers are visual - apologies if you are not). Now dually engage with the apple with awareness and your emotions by: (1) Moving the apple back and fourth by whatever emotion you have. (2) Noticing the dilation of your own awareness as this happens, inclusive of understanding that you are becoming aware of how your own awareness engages in the power of this action while doing so. (3) Continue practicing this for the next few minutes or so until it feels natural and you feel you have generated enough feedback to learn from. (4) Now, focus on the feeling of joy, wherever it is present in your being, and attempt to move the apple with your awareness relative to this feeling and broader emotion. (5) Notice how your relationship to this exercise begins to change, and how it results in different ways your awareness chooses to move the apple. (6) Continue to practice this exercise through joy, and then begin to unfold this principle with the rest of your experience within your imagination. This is how you get the lights to start to turn on in a mind that was previously, well, empty of the belief that they could previously. Emptiness happens at the edge of fulfilment, and at the edge of knowing, truly, in the natural sense. As it is by the natural order of knowing, that one no longer needs to seek, or only does so through their understanding of its practical utility. That's, my contention at present, feel free to share further thoughts. This is, turning emptiness on its head, exploring the imagination of "God" as is memesized across the forum, that same imagination, as it would be said by some, that is creating this moment right now, for any one of us, to be able to read this comment, and for me to make it, in this world, and any world of course, in which we inhabit. Best wishes. Enjoy.

Best wishes. I will be in Ukraine early next year (can't really speak about locations). Updates are a good idea, but a personal choice. They will help you tune in more deeply with how you choose to interface externally in a way that allows you to better interally calibrate with your alignment there.

You should be revealing your ideas as far as possible not as 'perfectly' as possible. At the very least, run back and fourth across the most rigorous AI feedback checks and balances specific to your domain. Having a simulator sidekick is a must in my opinion, I.e. given X conditoins and y input what z. I recommend the inverse as well, so generating a "Problem companion" where you ask the AI to simulate problems and your role is to come up with solutions specific to your interest, niche, professional domain, etc. One of the structures I have built and do comparisons on, for example, is a list of the smartest people in my relevant industry or at least the smartest companies, then pruning for the best patterns specific to my industry, or specific industries of interest. Pruning for the best real patterns, allows you to avoid what are the biggest risks in creative fields, the "I think this is great!" When in reality, "its okay" and is likely to do far worse than one might believe. This is myopia sickness at its finest, any grandiosity whatsoever must be fine-tuned. In the creative industries its a double edged sword (responsible for biggest winners but also the biggest losers). Studying failure (companies, ideas, people,e TC) should be as purposeful as studying success.

Talking about ideas with friends that can potentially change the world. Leisure is a concept that was invented for the working class originally as an escape route to work which by comparison was and is often viewed as a prison by most. So much of what we believe to be 'leisure' is of course then, just market segmentation of types of relaxation, or what workforce ideology would call 'laziness' on the job, or 'higher status'; it'll be seen as more and more bizarre overtime as we look back. I express this brief point because to truly live your life in the personal development sense, its so important to foster relationships with open minded people where you can expand each other's reference frame on reality. In doing so, like what happens between two close friends in high-school or primary school, even if its as a mirror to whatever major cultural interest you have from Pokemon to Star Wars, you develop your own niche (cultural) language for how you view the world. These relationships, especially if they are group based, have always been a protective layer to whatever else is happening in the world where the more sophisticated the group is, the more the relationship between ones group and the world adapts to what is genuinely meaningful. This really changes the meaning vocabulary of what it means to be in integrity with the meanings we pursue in life when we have friendships where that is at the heart and mind of conversations that steer relationships. When control over the locus of meaning to self and the location of meaning to group in the context of co-created meaning can be taken back, 'leasure' then becomes a 'trust currrency' within group dynamics. Where whatever we do together is not a subject of what is going to just bring leisure, but what is genuinely going to foster closer and more meaningful relationships. In the business world, 1960's it was various sports, 1980's golf took off more, 1990-2000's drugs took off more (with 1960's of course in the general sense) along with charity events for more elite (and apparently sacrificial ceremonies of human babies?), and now we're heading into the consolidation of the 2010 era that first began entrepreneurship, where "Founder Consciousness", and variations of this, is now a thing that one can foster as its own closeknit consciousness, we called them "inner circles". When most of the positive emotions of our human experience can be mapped over our social interactions, that is when real meaning, real change, and real leisure, all happens simultaneously. That's my approach whether I am with people or not, I don't watch Netflix, play video games or anything like this really unless its just as a sport for a specific period of experimental time. This is in the general sense, otherwise specific relationships cater to specific subroutines, like I grew up playing tennis, music, gym, running and martial arts with certain friendships, relationships in general and family relationships having different patterns. These are all 'meaning ecosystems' that feed our sense of self <-> social <-> reality... Leisure. All of which are far more interesting for us to contemplate, get feedback on and build in new ways than we realise. Best.

All films are slowly coming to an end. Unless they're genuinely revolutionary, overtime they will more and more be phased out. The working class were hypnotised by the entertainment industry for generations. Now more and more of their fat assess will be at home, and will theoretically have more cognitive bandwidth to spare not only in the intake of ideas, but interpersonally. Films presented emotional aesthetics that could never be replicated in game aesthetics. This picture is now starting to change, and it very much seems like all the positives from every entertainment tech is via emergent behaviour converging on virtual reality. Virtual reality is also going to combine the meeting ground between people that films used to solve and the social distancing epidemic that has resulted from the tech gen, through interactive virtual environments, strictly social and game interactive. We already knew this decades ago, however this picture neatly describes the cultural transition we will go through that AI is going to add outgrowths to that we never fully anticipated. The grunge music of yesterday that solved teenage authoritarian exhaution, followed by gaming chatrooms that came a decade or so later, will be replaced by offline but re-routed local discussion servers in co-created AI VR environments between friends and online explorative environments that co-create amongst the demographics through both avenues. If one always wanted a girlfriend that enjoyed video games, chances are that this demographic is going to increase exponentially in the next few years. The yelling parents of yesterday at their kids for "playing too much video games and not spending time with the family", is now going to become a co-authored meeting ground with and without parents across many varied interpersonal dynamics and demograph niches.

I told everyone this film was going to be a flop. GTA 6 will be a flop as well. People don't create billion dollar projects to create flops or continue the engine of a conspiratorial dumbing down of an industry, again despite any partial truths concerning, most often they probably genuinely believe in the project. People are literally just becoming less creative. Use it or like a whole generation of who otherwise would have been creative people giving us the next E.T, lose it. Creatives also have this dilemma, "How far do I go beyond the norm before I risk being too misunderstood, and, how much do I remain true to myself despite the world slowly becoming less of itself?" If you have billions of people jerking off their psychological identities on TikTok videos all day, or whatever the social media is, their brain slowly regressing to a pre-primordial state, what does that mean for a demographic of people that want to show off the full range of their consciousness creativity, which is inclusive of cultural motifs like empathy and social intelligence? The inverse relationship is directly at odds with greedy incentives which will force at the very least, a creative compromise or empathy that is performed for the audience, not the product. E.T was one of the best films of all time, that said, your emotional intelligence has to have properly matured to be able to get it.

I actually feel like moderators should be held to a higher standard. Leo has shown this as well. This is now, growth overtime. @Miguel1 I encourage you to use this challenge as one you can learn from with dignity. Backing down and asking for support from others is asking people to also be an enabler on something that if you clarified within yourself, externally or not, would benefit your relationship to the forum. Passivity is what leads to passive aggression, calling things out as one sees them and then banning or reprimanding encourages passive aggression. @UnbornTao you're an idiot sometimes, granted, but we all are in our own way. People coming together on a personal development forum for mere passive positivity and endorsements from others is just as bad as people coming together to bring others down. "Truth", as the forum meme runs it, involves challenge, and if the 'forum' doesn't know how to refine how this requirement outputs against grace overtime, then "truth" can just as easily be used as a cloak where challenge is misrepresents truth and passivity subtracts from truth. Hard coded rules reflect the inflexibility of the forums identity itself, where moderators at least in spirit, should be emboldening at least partial frontiers. If the forum learns how to embrace conflict in a healthy way, it is a measurement of its growth trajectory. If not, it is a measurement of its decay. This pattern has stood the test of time for this forum, and reflects both where its contracted in areas versus where its expanded. No one should back down. Look in, and decide. Intervene, ban or reprimand where it is genuinely unhealthy for any growth trajectory. These things should be 'playground obvious'. I welcome challenge from others, that said, if its genuinely a waste for my time, I will ignore or have it removed if I view the content as merely self-serving to the individual and not the subject at hand. These are not "social manipulative games" Miguel. We are all consciousnesses, and we are etching for the truth, and to learn how to grow from it. Are you? I'll leave that question for you, and for you to answer of your own free will.
