Addictions are being out of harmony with your own nature. Divine Will is sustaining your entire being, your body and mind and all process within it. You have a certain function, a certain end, as a result of your nature as a human being. An addiction is in conflict with the natural harmony of what you are. So, in some sense, the less addiction you have, the less friction there is in your own nature, the more in-line with Free Will, or Divine Will, you are. This will be perceived as bliss or peace, or freedom. It is when you can follow your end. This is the purpose of suffering. Suffering is the friction which keeps you on tract with the harmony you have designed as Divine Will. Your suffering is a necessary part of that harmony. But, with enough wisdom and growth, you can come into harmony with yourself, and with the world, such that there is little to no friction. We could say that is the maximization of Free Will, which will naturally take place anyways. That is basically the history of evolution. -

I am glad it is making sense for someone. -
Love means acceptance, and acceptance means existence. The Ultimate Acceptance of Suffering is to suffer. When you say "How do I accept suffering!", you don't actually mean "How do I accept suffering.", you mean "How do I make it so suffering does no longer bother me!". But suffering is bothering. You cannot accept suffering in such a way that it will no longer bother you, because then you would exstinguish suffering, you would destroy it. Your existence, no matter what state of consciousness, is an Ultimate Acceptance of existence. What you call the most unconscious state of suffering, that is what Ultimate and Complete Acceptance of Reality looks like. That's God accepting Suffering completely. You idea of how wrong suffering is, that is part of your acceptance of this existence. You cannot do anything but accept reality, because, acceptance is existence. It could not be any other way. What you are trying to do now is be Christ without being Christ. Christ carried the sin of all of humanity. It means, he accepted the suffering and selfishness of all of humanity. This means, he realized that he was the suffering and selfishness of all of humanity. Now, you are trying to carry the same cross, but you have not yet realized the nature of your true being. Once you realize the nature of your true being, none of what you described will be a problem to you. You will have the strength to carry the suffering of the entire universe, of all universes. You are suffering unnecessarily because it is the ego trying to carry all the suffering. And the ego is not designed to carry all suffering. It is designed to carry it's own suffering. The ego is an ant, it is not the colony. It is not appropriate for the ant to take on the burden of the colony. The individual ant simply has to carry it's weight, to do what it was designed to do as an ant. If you accept this, much of your unnecessary suffering will cease. As far as your true self is concerned, you already accept all suffering, all selfishness. You are in fact the cause of it. You, the ego, try to carry the burden of God. This is your problem.

The way I think of it, Free Will exists, but it has nothing to do with an agent. All free will means is Causeless Cause, or Divine Creativity, which is the ground of all Being. If an agent could control their Will, it would not be free, it would be "Controlled Will". Choice is illusion. And all Illusion is created through Free Will. That's the tricky thing to understand here, I think. The choice is created through Free Will, but so is all of existence. Every particle in the universe is created the same way. The laws of nature are created and sustained the same way. And this is just existence, this is the flow of reality. You cannot not focus on Being, because Being is just Existence. Any state of consciousness really is just a state of existence. The idea of "Me" just means existence. It could not mean anything else. So, when you say "I make choices" this just means "Existence manifests choices". The Causeless Cause. Free Will is always here as it is the Cause of all existence. Yet, Free Will can only be realized to the individuated consciousness through the dissolution of certain states of existence. At that point, the human mind will say "Oh my God, I am free! I am free! I have always been free!". And then it is realized, that all choices ever made, that all of existence, was due to Free Will. Not anyones Free Will, but pure Free Will. Your sense of free will just points to the Causeless Cause, an inkling of True and Absolute Freedom, which is the ultimate nature and source of all of reality, all of existence. -
Absolutely, from my experience a majority of people who engage with this seriously are scummy crypto-bro, get-rich-quick type of people who try to replace actual hard working individuals with the most low effort nonsense you can imagine. In the end, all these people will be the first individuals who get replaced by AI, because they are too stupid to see they are teaching the AI how to do the very jobs they are trying to get from AI.

This is true. it would not be as much a problem if this awareness existed and measures were taken to integrate these people properly. But the competence for this is simply not there, we see it fail over and over again. On the other hand, these countries are depending on immigration to maintain their populations, which is also becoming an existential threat to many nations.
-
The biggest obstacle you will face with creating such a space is men themselves. Men are conditioned to surpress their emotional side. Men hate sharing their problems with others because they are taught they need to be stoic. Other than that, nothing really prevents you from doing it. You are creating a lot of narratives that I think stem out of your own neurosis and mental conditioning. You are overthinking this significantly, which is also a feature of internet culture.
-
One of the more frustrating aspects of immigration is that a large percentage of people being imported are stage blue, and it can make it feel like we are kind of setting back society a little by having to regurgitate all the same things we have already dealt with the in relation to the native population. And it's not just blue, you have to consider that these people will have to grow through stage orange as well, so it just creates a lag effect. It's not as noticable in society that don't have much immigration, but for example in western to northern europe the shift back to stage blue-to-orange culture crash is noticable.
-
It's kind of funny because, by that logic if someone accuses you of anything, it's automatically the case that there is a 50% chance that you are that thing.
-
My bigger worry is that we have cases of monetary companies like banks and online banking cancelling people, and all of them doing it in unison. That's just insane to me.

For why China would not be able to protect Saudi Arabia? Because China has absolutely zero military experience, and the few incidents that have occured over the past two decades were absolute embarassments and failures. The scale of operation required to protect Saudi Arabia from the numerous threats requires enormous military power and sophistication, which we have no reason to assume China has. That's why Saudi Arabia is so hesitant to actually commit to China's proposals. I'm not going to spoon fed you all the information. Just read up on the geopolitical situation of Saudi Arabia and on chinese military capabilities. Saudi Arabia basically has to hope that it can create new allies and change the geopolitical landscape by weaseling out of the current status-quo.

I don't know where the conflict here is. It sounds like this is a good opportunity for you, even if it's just for the experience you will gain. So what is the problem?
-
I would be skeptical of this, the entire article basically just talks about the self-reported success of the chinese diploment, who are notorious for their lies. I would wait a few months and see if any of this actually leads to anything. Saudi Arabia will not be able to rely on China for it's security concerns, because China does not have that type of competence. The Saudi regime is currently facing existential threats to it's power.

Do you by any chance have the studies he is referring to?

This is not true. Loneliness of men is due to technological advancement and how we tend to interact with it. Men don't have a self-concept of shame because of toxic masculinity narratives, that is exceptionally rare. This mentality is the root problem, the internet dynamics created these dynamics, and you have fallen victim to them as much as "they" have. You are angry because of the narratives that captured you thanks to the sophistication of internet algorithms. They are as miserable as you are and are looking for someone to blame. They don't see it as silly, they see it as seriously as you do. That's what so silly about it. You are being as silly as they are and you are not realizing it because you have been captured by the same dynamics as them. You are them, you literally do the same. The internet is dividing us friend, it is creating delusional narratives to do so, because division causes war, and war is social engagement. Monkeys love war, and so the internet, tending to increase who we are, creates war for us. If you want to be angry, be angry at the social media companies that are doing all of this completely consciously, and not caring one bit about this ruining society.
-
No problem, it's always useful to correct such simplifications.
-
You are overreacting to this problem, because it is a personal issue to you. Taking a stand against it will just create more opposition, this is exactly how the dynamic functions, this is how the internet currently is structured. You will create more resistance, which will bolster the opposition into their position, and both perspectives lose sight of any common ground. The urge for you to do this is the same urge for the women who are invalidating this issue. It's all the same game, and you are participating in it as unconsciously as they are. This is not the way to escape the game, nor how to resolve these dynamics. You have to take a few steps back first and see how silly all of this is, and have enough distance to realize this is not actually threatening you in any way. Then, you can focus on simply helping people if you still view this as an important problem.

Sure, some might get bullied out of it, but we should find a high proportion of detransitioners who have a normal gender-to-sex biological ratio. I find it unlikely that someone would be bullied out of transness after they went through sex-reconstruction surgery and so forth. Either way, using this, we should be able to detect false "trans"-people before initiating gender therapy, and reducing the detransition rate significantly.

The sad thing is, I actually gave him the root cause of these ideologies and he was not at all interested in discussing them with me. Instead, he started to discuss with other people who are not interested in discussing this topic, which makes me question whether or not he himself is actually interested in discussing the topic.
-
Very interesting if true. This would make it easier to diagnose true trans people and eliminate the subset of people who are mentally ill and buy into the ideology. I would say a brain scan should be required to approve the treatment of more significant sex change therapy, if these changes are not present, the individual should probably be treated as having a mental disease more similar to body dysmorphia rather than being a transgender person. This also would imply that gender is not a social construct, but actually a structure in the brain. The fact that humans have a tendency to create seperations between the sexes in behaviour, fashion and so forth would be a biological reality, but the specific ways in which it manifests would be a social construct. So, gender is a brain structure, and the specific manifestation of gender roles are a social construct. Similar to how the capacity for language is a brain structure, but individual, specific languages are social constructs. They should devise a study where they look at the brains of detransitioners. If this is true, they all should have the brain structures corresponding to their sex.

How do you know this is not just a self-created narrative? Not all that is happening during a trip is an insight into the nature of reality. Much of it is just a processing of your own kind of belief system. This is why people can be brainwashed using psychedelics. You can turn any kind of narrative into reality for individuals. I think you need to learn primiarily how you yourself are creating narratives, and how you have difficulty observing how these narratives influence the way you perceive reality, or the way your own personal reality is created through narratives and concepts. So, what you need to do is create distance between yourself and concepts/narratives, and observe how the process of narrative creation functions and how it influences your subjective reality, and how completely relative these narratives are. It would be good if you reached a point where you realized all narratives are just concepts. That everything Leo told you about God and Love is just a narrative and nothing more. It could not possibly be more than that from your point of view, so you have to create a distance to those narratives, and see them for what they truly are. Just stories you self-create.

There is a condition called HPPD (Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder), and some people report to have it permanently, or for months and years.

I did some more research and it actually seems to just be an ocular migraine. Not sure if this is an after-effect of the substance, or caused by something else.
