Fascinating. This wokism dilemma could be perpetrated by stage orange looking to earn cookies from other people while subsequently being shot down for being disingenuous. If you were stage orange, would it really be conceivable that some pussy snowflake doesn't have a knife hiding under his altruistic flagrancy? They have to find it, because after all, it's a dog eat god world after all.

I would personally choose beige because it's a stage without pretext, it's kind of the core of being. Beige is the source from which every other stage sprouts

I should become a trump supporter just as a performance art @Leo Gura That would be fucking hilarious

In your particular position I honestly feel the betrayal felt by your fans would be a bit frightening in terms of their disillusionment. It would be truly diabolical. You're an icon to me because every chance you have to sink your teeth in you don't manipulate for some bullshit end. To many I assume they would watch you to see if you're a cult leader or not and being flagrant with your wealthy position would not at all be a safer decision. Purely on paper sure.

@SwiftQuill I agree, you're articulating well serious flaws in Stage Green. I think a lot of the blowback comes from people wanting to avoid impeding people's progress to get TO green as opposed to understanding it's limitation. It's a bit of a trick to gloss over greens toxicity but the reason is genuinely meant to facilitate a growing sense of compassion for the world, damn the consequences. Because the consequences are less severe than rejecting progress.

@Joker_Theory You're genuine interest in the possiblity of the unknown and the new is far from the recipe of a scorching hell. Hell is when there is no possibility of anything else. If you keep the mystery clouds of life afloat you will always be able to find beauty because it is still yet possible. There's no time for hell for a dead man. Nor anything better than hell. A fleeting life would never dictate an eternity of punishment. God is so chill he wont even stop you from feeling like he doesn't know you. God is so chill you can believe in him or not. Trust that God cares more about everything more than anything could ever know.

@Princess Arabia This isn't about woman's desire for sex or beauty. It's about the feeling like you deserve (are potentially worthy of) the best man in the world in a real relationship. The issue is the entanglement with outward appearance and what's under the surface, the quality of character. Men don't really want to be with beautiful woman they want meaning in a relationship outside of those basic bounds. If woman think that quality men want beautiful women, there is a bit of a misunderstanding. These things are so fleeting and hollow they will rot when the sex dries out. The bottom line for a woman to be attractive physically is quite low and doesn't require 10/10 thot genetics. But in our world today we scroll through 1000s of the top 0.01% of people living their best most attractive lives (digitally altered too, not even authentic per se). So woman who genuinely (including the beauty component) have lots to offer high quality men might wind up thinking that it could be hopeless or something, they'll never be good enough. Men irl didn't even try that, it's just money sucking attention grabbing emotional manipulating social media companies. You already know about all about this. But ultimately people play this game because it's the most basic and fundamental one there is. To acquire security, safety and as a consequence a long and prosperous life. Nothing else matters to most people. If you can't generalize you will always find counter examples. You are finding a niche counter example and writing off the whole thing as not the way things necessarily could be. How can you define man and woman in any capacity that which is unconquerable by some alternate examples/explanations? A woman's (and man's) self image includes the image of what they think someone else thinks of them. If a woman did not care about anyone else, what about that makes them a woman besides their sex? For a man, caring about nothing else but their survival could include a woman. But if a woman cares about no one else would they include a man to be with? What would be the point? Oh yeah, sex. And when I talk about care I refer to that capacity to give care, not to feel caring (there's two forms, one is feeling the other is doing).

@AION These battles are games imbued with a violence and lust that could be similarly found in any highly engaging contest that you enjoy. Violence is just one type of emotion, and it is certainly not all you've cracked it up to be. You get to choose what you attribute spirit to, very rarely is that a catch all classic game of war. Unless if you're that kind of person, and you can bring out the divinity within it if you like. But make no mistake, it's a dead end friend It's one thing to find enjoyment in a hobby but then another to claim that being able to sudo chop someone in a contest is a core tenant in spirituality.

If someone wants your chips can you explain to them the nature of the universe in time for them to contemplate otherwise? Agression is on a short fuse and it's only reason is to simmer and be capable of using more of the brain (impossible when in fight mode). The only reason is to deescalate without solving the root cause or to fight fire with a blue flame. Usually just holding your own while being respectful but firm is enough to warrant respect when the aggressor reflects on the event. He's looking to justify his actions by dragging you down to a lower level than he is Edit: that being said trying to engage with an aggressive person could end badly no matter how sensible you act in turn

Not much you can do asides from letting their wheels spin without traction, they'll burn themselves out. They're so used to being hit by people who are angry at then.

In the Fallout series one of the main early concessions is that Canada is annexed by the united states to protect against hostilities from china and russia. Somewhat plausible given the rhetoric in politics, heard fellow Canadians musing over the idea in terms of becoming a bigger economy. To me it's fear mongering, but to an American I imagine it doesn't make much of a difference.

You're right, it's not like an ordinary tool that solves something out of sheer mechanical advantage. If a tool is something that can help achieve a goal, the entire tool of AI is to help you achieve your goal. But it has no limits because it deals with the concept of a goal rather than a simple 1:1 correct solution. There's no problem for AI to solve until a human gives it one and the result is pure abstraction. Tools provide a solution which we abstract to call it a tool while AI provides only an abstraction than could potentially be used to actualize the event. Imagination as a tool is not taught or explored so for many AI will just be for personal small time type issues like how to change a lightbulb or whatever.

If Leo told people that based on some piece on information it would lead to self actualization and enlightenment he'd be a fraud. He plainly puts the onus on you. That's the information he's trying to share. If he tells you you've found it you won't even begin to search.

I'd recommend checking out a guided Wim Hof Method video if you haven't already tried it. Focus on your breath by treating it like a running exercise where improvement is made by properly pacing yourself, balancing each stride/breath for improved congruence, momentum and stability. Some people struggle to breath for one reason or another so this video's mechanical pace and structure are ill suited for them and it becomes more difficult to breath naturally (to avoid overexertion/injury) without some personalized feedback: Guided Wim Hof Method Breathing I find it difficult to remain dedicated or focused to individually count from 1-40 chained breaths with no inhale or exhale gap (begin breathing opposite direction without pausing, (not by jerking forcefully just by leaving no time gap between breaths)). Once a distraction hits you, you will pause briefly between breaths until you catch yourself doing it or give up. That's why I find this guided breathing video so helpful, it takes me through the process more unconsciously. The homeostasis that's broken between C02 and O2 levels in the body shocks the nervous system into a panic that overreacts in a way to stimulate dormant cells. Similar to an inflammation but for the stuff that helps regulate the body instead, winds up overriding the minds distress and "taking back control" (resetting the nervous system). It's almost as if going into a dream and reawakening, it is has a rejuvenating effect.

@zazen Say trump is surrounded by better advisors, you're optimistic about his platform outside of appearances.. He's an antibiotic to the left's stifling decadence which causes the collapse of civilization.. This is the type of stuff that boggles my mind, how are you capable of such mental gymnastry. Ultimately it's not very important but I just find it fascinating to see how intellectualism can be used to justify Trump outside of it being a mistake.

@questionreality This forum is meant to be generally inclusive, there are people of all stages of development here. When someone says good riddence trump tastes his own medicine, be aware that that's not a representation of quality conciousness, it's just short sighted and mean. You can try and help out by pointing things out you take issue with, but realize you're role could be to help people develop! You seem to be using the opportunity to instead hammer more nails in a coffin that holds people you detest.

In Canada, "illegals" are separate from immigration. Illegals are people who have smuggled themselves into Canada unauthorized which is rare because of our lone border belonging to the States. It would be people over plane refusing to leave or something like that. We invite people who are skilled workers (and their families) that are prepared to work in a field Canada deems required/in their best interests to strengthen. This is introducing an extremely competitive environment for everyone and employers aren't being incentivized to offer employees more. When an industry makes a request - they are able to choose from a global pool of potential candidates, of which there are 10000X more than they need who are qualified. They have their pick of the litter across all nations. Why would they consider training the current population or accepting less experienced local candidates? That's what makes it so challenging for average joes born in raised in Canada. Now this is perfectly fine to raise a competitive and bolstered economy if plans were made in terms of infrastructure (both affordability and its expanse). Canada's government doesn't have control of housing or construction, they contract it out. They don't have the tools they need to strongarm the development that should be requisite when a pop growth is outsourced. We can't have children because of affordability, not only ideology/culture changes. It's rough, and too competitive. Houses shouldn't be a source of investment. A house is like a car, it should lose value once its been lived in not gain value lol

When you win the lottery is there any reason to give it back? We aren't born as slugs, rocks, planets or dogs. Our experience feels consistent. What if you were consistently experiencing the life of any creature or bacteria etc on earth? Would that be better? I really do think we've got it pretty good on the known cosmic scale of things that could be conscious like us.

@Gennadiy1981 I understand that one person has a right to speak on the forum, but many people who view the forum choose not to speak because they can't really genuinely attempt to contribute to a thread in a new way. So if one person repeatedly expresses their view it really skews a conversation in a way inauthentic to the community. These people should be called out.

But Leo, why not post your paid content as a donation and allow people to pay what they feel they can afford? Are you worried that monetization wouldn't net you enough to make it worthwhile? Your patrons would ultimately leave you high and dry?

Why is falling from a great height terrifying? If you knew you'd be okay, what's scary about it? As in, you weren't going to die because you were capable and alacritous. You've been able to survive all this time, yet no time was different than the fear you felt. And it did not end your life, you're okay.

Cold approach in any city in the GTA is viable, there's tons of people and many are outgoing. You'd have to travel far (2 hour+) to find a small enough town where that'd get weird fast. Most people are in groups but sometimes that can work out to an advantage as people might actually be more willing to engage with strangers while grouped up. Since you're only there for 4 months, you can really get a chance to appreciate the city and a new environment without the drawback of being forced to make it work. You're not forced to move there forever or are planning to, so don't fret. Do you have a job lined up, are your finances prepared? That's the biggest factor that will ensure your security. What's your style of musicianship? In general live music is hotly contested and secured by regular performers even over a year in advance. You'd need a very special portfolio and skillset to shoehorn your way into a bar or club <4 months. That being said, you could immerse yourself in rehearsal spaces/jam zones, meetups, open mics, busking, and freebie gigs. You could try to attend as many music related events as possible to work on networking + pickup (keep it separate from the band though). You may wish to take the time to do a music style retreat, where you regiment your practice and plan it out in advance, so you're always making progress regardless of social hits.

How can Biden "do well" in the future? His health has deteriorated and it's at the point where he is really, really struggling to meet his obligations. If you can't see that than I imagine you assume they've got him cranked with some special benjamin button juice? He didn't just discover breathwork or something to make a life and death defying stunt. It's like asking someone to vote for Trump but in this case Trump's a good guy. It just doesn't feel right to people because they are voting an incompetent leader into office who just isn't as funny as donald. If they want to have an impact on the system, they may believe voting for the bad party would have the best chance of causing an uproar that would hopefully result in competent leaders stepping up to the plate. There's no real plan, it's a tear it down strategy based in an ideology that things would be better changed and the resulting change would surely be better because of how bad it is now. But they won't rationalize it, or talk about it. But they will either not vote or vote to "expose" the joke. Exposing it seems more crystal clear from the irony of Trump but this is a donkey looking in the mirror type situation.

@Chadders What did or did not happen will ever elude you but when you look back or project it takes a nebulous cloud and condenses it into a story that you recall, as it's recalled. What that is is consciousness, which is your gift. But as for when it happened, this is a contrivance. It exists, but not only in the way you remember it.

My father showed me this video and explained to me how he resonated with non violent communication as a paradigm shown here. My response was to tell him when violence is received viscerally, the response leads to violence against violence, or at least intolerance. And that this intolerance delivered an apathy towards a violent individual that would lead to the inability to reverse the cycle of judgment leading to a cruel sentence, mimicking the violence. I'm an asshole for doing that but I don't know what other anecdotes to use to stop discord
