  3. @Leo Gura What's wrong with heavy carbs like those?
  4. @Leo Gura How should someone approach the entrepreneurial journey in order to actually have the potential to increase human consciousness?
  5. Does literature provide value? Compared to self-help books, are literature ones inferior or not?
  6. @Leo Gura What do you think about Jordan Peterson?
  7. @eskwire Well said, totally agree.
  8. @eskwire How does literature grow you then? In my mind literature is entertainment and entertainment is usually toxic.
  9. This is when politics start to become relevant. Leftist political-correctness has instigated the death of many. This has to do with satisfying basic level needs. How is Europe supposed to move on when terror attacks are now just a part of everyday life? How can a mayor get away with sayings like "Terror attacks are part and parcel of living in a major city"? When your basic survival needs are threatened i dont think anyone intellectually stable can argue that it needs to be solved. Someone needs to take the responsibility. If we are not even thinking about talking about it, who will?
  10. @Leo Gura Morality is not relative. How can morality be relative when it is based in empathy. This is where the the golden rule comes from. Basically instead of changing our actions to line up with our morals, we change our perspective to nonduality so we can justify them. Seems too self-centered and egotistical. Also i didnt see Jesus kill and then justify his actions with this nihilistic view. If something goes against self agenda it is the mere idea of action. What is more threatening to the individual, to bone up and line up his actions to his values and morals or to adopt a nihilistic paradigm that allows him to do whatever he wants? If non duality is so perfect, the enlightened ones wouldn't mind if someone tried to kill them. At the end of the day it would save some children from unessecary rape
  11. @AlwaysBeNice You can say that for every job on earth. The majority of jobs add nothing of value to people. It is not about adding to society but to people. View society as something negative, we want to add value to people not to society. Marketing can be good if you use it the right way. Imagine Leo pulling a Tai Lopez ad campaing. He would get massive and basically manipulate people for their own good. I dont see anything wrong with that. Instead of demonizing marketing why dont you use it for the good. By being a beggar you dont help anyone anyway so you just party with the status quo which is the unethical ad campains in this instance.
  12. @Annetta Yes it did in Manchester. When bombings start being the new normal, it is alarming.
  13. @Lorcan "Make some money and then say you dont need it" is my rule. People are weak and use every kind of excuse to not put in the work. Yes you dont actually need it but it is ten times better than being broke. Also if you play it right you can actually provide some value to the world. So what else do you have to do? If you are in line with your life purpose you can get tons of money if you work hard as well. There is no life purpose that is not a business. Forget that ebay stuff though, it is a waste of time, not scalable at all. Start a business, make money, invest in real estate, make more money and so forth. I am not even going to cover the marrige/family scenarios without abundance of money. How many Rolls Royces did Osho have by the way?
  14. @SOUL Did you even read it dude come on. Generally Good=promotes love,hapiness etc. Evil=promotes pain,suffering etc. It is not about the accuracy of those thoughts, it is about having a guide for your behavior.
  15. @SOUL I didnt suggest it excist outside the mind, we basically proved that wrong with @username. I said that it doesn't help you anywhere to ditch that paradigm completely. It is damaging because you become an apathetic spiritual theorist. If you ditch the paradigm of good and bad you need awareness to make sure you don't make others suffer, which wouldn't be "allowed" as long as you hold the good and bad paradigm. This is a complex topic but you can't just say ditch good and bad, that is irresponsible. You need to be empathetic and realise that your actions can actually cause pain or happiness/love. If you can do that without the good and bad paradigm, good for you, but spreading it like the plague without taking into account the potential negative concsioquenses it is not a good move. @Nahm ?????
  16. @Nahm That's too theoritical, it doesn't actually help you anywhere so i dont see any reason to hold that belief. Even the fact that enlightened people try to do well in the world by writing books etc there is no doubt that they still want to provide value and help others. I don't know if you can do good for the world and still view it as perfect, if that is the case it would the perfect paradigm. The other end tilts too much on apathy which is levels bellow enlightenment.
  17. I would describe it like evil creates suffering and good creates love. I still don't see anyone here connect his spiritual theory with real life. If it doesn't connect with real life i can use your paradigm to justify rape, murder and other behaviours that make people suffer. I still don't see any reason to drop that paradigm of good and evil. Even Leo couldn't justify this with real life language and not spiritual theorizations. Also if something pushes self agenda it is probably the paradigm that doesn't allow you to have morals and a notion of good and evil, hypocritical nontheless.
  18. Don't finish. Business studies are the worst of the education industry. People who don't actually own businesses teach you about business. You can literally learn 10x better quality thoery with reading entrepreneurial books and trying out creating a business yourself. Just go for music if it is actually your passion. Finish uni when it is not your passion is the worst advice you can get especially in such a domain where the stuff you learn are irrelevant. If you give yourself a plan b you will always have an excuse not to pursue your passion. At the end of the day though you know what you really want to do. Are you going to pull the trigger?
  19. @Nahm Not that, the statement that the world is perfect as it is.
  20. @Nahm Justify that
  21. @Nahm Theoritically, that doesn't mean you don't do anything to improve it
  22. @aryberry Not for a a long time lets hope.
  23. @username If you want to give us your opinion that's cool, other than that there is no need for two people to do the job of one. Also i sense too much spiritual ego, sort that out and then we talk.
  24. This is going nowhere
