Lol I wonder if Alex Jones is actually blue. He seems so insane sometimes I wonder if it’s all an act

Ben Shapiro's reaction to 'Imagine' by John Lennon is the EPITOME of Blue demonising Green.

Look into the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community where you learn how you can become financially independent at a very young age such as in your 30s where you don’t have to work to live your life. When you reach that point you’d be freed up to do as much spirituality as you wanted and your work would be extra, and you’d only do it if you genuinely wanted to. -

People gotta stop ragging on capitalism so much. It’s the only viable economic system that can work when society gets to a certain level. The more important variable is the level of consciousness the people who are engaging in the capitalist system are at. -

This is a real quality video. I love how at around 1:30 he talks about how he used to believe it was just brain activity and that was completely shattered once he had a breakthrough -
@aurum Whilst that can definitely be the case, don’t you think that can be a one sided view of looking at romance? If you don’t experience any romance you could be missing some pretty cool experiences life has to offer imo.

Depersonalisation ain't enlightenment at all. It's a dissociative mechanism humans evolved to numb ourselves during periods of intense anxiety. It's quite a disturbing symptom and I struggled with it a lot, but it goes away when you stop ruminating about it.

I doubt it was psychedelic. He seemed too eloquent and sober in the second half of the video -

Depersonalisation and enlightenment are very different things, don't confuse the two. DP is a symptom of anxiety where you become numb and dissociated. In my eyes they're nearly polar opposites, but can sound similar on the surface -
Are you maximising other areas of your life too? Do you have an attractive lifestyle? Are you maximising your looks (gym, style)? Looks, money, status and game are all important, despite what the PUAs tell you.

Similar thing happened to me when I was watching the video. I started contemplating what language actually is, and that it's just pure sounds with no instrinsic meaning, and it really fucked with my sense of reality and I had a mini freak out. -
Yeah I watch it, it's pretty valuable in terms of entertainment goes I think! I loved in the White Christmas episode how sitting and having nothing to do was a form of torture.

Todd Valentine has a free course, Winnergame.

Go pickup I think. It'll provide more growth through having to learn social skills and putting yourself outside of your comfort zone more. Those skills will stay with you for the rest of your life. Do career, wealth, or social circle as an end in themselves because you want to. You don't want to be relying on indicators such as wealth because it may attract the wrong kind of women into your life. Also if you play the social circle game, you're probably going to have to surround yourself with people who aren't into self actualisation in order to get access to the hottest girls. That'd involve club promoters, DJ etc who live the part animal lifestyle, which would be a distraction.

This buddhist teacher gives a nice addition and says basically the same thing as Leo's brain video

This really helped me grasp it. -
Same with Yoga in general.

I think 100-200 years is a bit optimistic

In this video, he goes on to explain the presuppositions of science, where are themselves not/could ever be scientifically tested. For example the Species-Individual Structure, which would state individual 'things' should exhibit the same properties universally. This presupposition of science must already be accepted as true, therefore science cannot objectively test its own presuppositions. Is there scientific method itself therefore a strange loop that isn't grounded in anything ultimately?
