You're limiting your consideration to a belief system. What do you have at hand? What are you experiencing and going through? Question what that is. That's enough. And it can be done in the process of living life.

Appreciate it

I'd say the fascination from sports such as soccer and basketball come from the fact that they are fun and engaging games; grounded, physical, objetive pursuits, like a bodily art form that produces powerful flow states. Real skill can't be faked, has to be continuously demonstrated, and is transparent in these sports. One can't pretend to be a great soccer player, whereas in many aspects of society one can fool others into thinking he understands things he actually doesn't.

And/or Gotama as the legend goes.

If you mean being alone, that may be right. When it comes to loneliness though, this theory just seems to validate people's victimhood. The cause of loneliness isn't external.

It may be true that we're lonelier than ever but I think this loneliness stuff is more profound than we make it out to be. I wouldn't blame conditions on newly invented causes. Coming up with novel "crises" seems to be popular as of late. This is done to offload personal responsibility, waiting around for someone else to resolve it for you. Turning it into a "social" cause, putting your sight outside of yourself. It is a distraction. And those crisis aren't "real."

Done. Would be fun.

Is this for real?

Well, be honest, or refuse the question. "None." "My religion is science." Or whatever.

Some sort of poisonous Mr. Burns' fruit. No idea.

Ok, thank you.

@Danioover9000 @Carl-Richard @zurew In short, what are they talking about?

To be honest I don't care about this topic, but that something is natural doesn't mean it has to take healthy forms. You're talking about something else. Whatever.

What's natural is the drive to have sex. Heterosexuality is the norm but I think both sexual predispositions have occurred throughout history.

Hey, enjoy!

I think enlightenment and narcissism are completely different but not mutually-exclusive. Without transformation work, a person might be enlightened and narcissistic, arrogant, etc. Another aspect to consider is that deep, personal consciousness can make one act in a way that can be easily confused with traits such as arrogance and over-authoritativeness. As a society, we don't consider direct knowledge possible so this understanding might show up as preposterous to many. "Who do you think you are, claiming to know the nature of anything"? Hence the likelihood to consider these types of individuals as cult leaders. By the way, useful to consider that not every enlightened guy is doing the same work.

Wondering whether Rockstar's humor will remain irreverent and offensive on this GTA. The charm of this franchise is culture critique and pointing out absurdities and hypocrisy, among other things.

@mr_engineer Ok.

Look into your resentment. Get over this childish behavior of yours.

Leaker ruined the hype imo. Interested in how the AI is going to be improved on this one.

Only personal consciousness will make a difference. Get who and what you are, then contemplate what life is.

Depends on what context you're using. Intellectual understanding is necessary and useful as well.
