Butters

Ehhhm, heh? I thought consciousness is one, and life is a dream? Now we're saying that consciousness can suddenly arise within consciousness? Why are we so loose with the terminology now? Or is this a lowercase-uppercase situation? This is confusing.

I didn't think this far. But being supportive of her goals is massively important, I wouldn't wanna hold anyone back from their goals. I meant this more as being a spiritual guide. Here, doesn't the wife submit to the husband? The nature of the feminine is submissive and the nature of the masculine is dominant.

Is this always true? Because there's many people with giant egos who didn't accomplish anything. So perhaps it's even across the board, and unrelated to big achievements?

Gen-z language: clocked-it, bruh, 6-7 Backyard wrestling Immature femininity: Ava Max etc. Modern pop music with the chorus upfront Imitating my favorite WWE wrestlers at home 😁 Certain authoritative behavior in authoritative professions: police, border patrol, security guards Red pill / manosphere Comedians' podcasts: Rogan, YMH, TigerBelly etc. Artist with fanatic fanbases: Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj K-pop LGBT culture (not sexual orientation itself)

What about the Kim Kardashian body type? That one I can't complain about though.

Putting a picture of yourself as a kid as your profile picture on social 😭 I think the social media examples are just endless. Blue checkmarks, there's so much more.

Well, that's just called being social, it's a nonverbal communication signal.

Hmm. I think therapy can be useful to give certain events a place or find some closure, but I doubt it's real serious personal development work or truth-seeking.

Yeah but that's the same then. I also just put mine in my cold outreach email signature. Why? Because it signals "hey look, I'm also in-group" and I hope to increase my conversion rate.

Putting pronouns in emails or social media profiles. Using AI to make yourself as an action figure to post on LinkedIn 🤮 Liking, sharing on social media in general. Joining BlueSky instead of Twitter. Gamertags, clans and guilds.

And is it even possible? For example: I can imagine a tiny pink elephant in my living room. Why? Because I've seen an elephant, I know the color pink, and I've seen my living room. But this is merely synthesis of existing experiences. This is not an original thought, just a remix. So, I want to know: Is an original thought possible? How do you define it? How is an original thought created? When, where, by what process?

I thought you were making these videos for people 100 years into the future 😂

For context: all guys are perverts. Step 1 is admitting you're a pervert. Yes you can go beyond the most beastly desires at a later age or by doing consciousness work, but it's important to realize every guy and most girls are pervs so it doesn't seem 'weird' or outcast.

Isn't 99% of therapists basically just reframinig you into their frame?

AI blog post with the Newport video was fantastic! I think you should make an AI video next. It could be of tremendous help to people who work with AI on a daily basis. So it wouldn't just be relevant to AI hype in the media but to our daily lives and communication with it. Every day I talk to ChatGPT, for my business and personal. Even though I understand what the LLM is, I do get mad at it sometimes. Isn't that curious?

Well then you should discover Etsytube. When it comes to Etsy success, it's 90% women. There's plenty of more mixed and mature content in the ecom space. Check out Chris Heckman.

Depends on who you jerk off

What do you base all these theories on? Clinical narcissists are deeply ashamed of who they truly are, and for a constant fear of being exposed they exercise this narcissistic behavior. Narcissistic supply is nothing more than externalizing everything, because truly looking inside is too painful for them.

That is not the definition. If that was the case they'd just sit at home with a mirror. Lower stages have a lack of self love. As self love increases, ego dissolves.

Externalizing love fits perfectly in the narcissistic mind, that's literally their whole psychology in a nutshell. This applies to all lower stages.

@Leo Gura is the world better of with a big ego stage Yellow leader compared to a low ego Blue group-thinker Trump voter? We use ego as almost a negative in this thread, but is it? And if not then why you keep pointing out big ego? Edit: my question doesn't really make sense. I am now confusing achievement with ego 😐

Conformity is just something the Mind makes up and does not exist. You don't have to worry about it.

@Leo Gura do you believe that everyone who voted for Trump has a big ego?

@Ishanga very nice. So perhaps then the correct statement is: High achiever = Big Ego IF they fully identify as such, and never take off the mask. But again, in the OP I said why can't it be equal across the board? Leo says there is a correlation. Perhaps the problem is the feedback loop of big succes.

So lower ego are meek and unambutious people? Worse at survival and therefor less material success? Does a conscious artist or entrepreneur flip the script? Where do you sit on the scale?
