  1. Great production and engineering on this album.
  2. The need to appear pure and clean and above and over others.
  3. I think @Inliytened1 is being misunderstood in a way. I think he is trying to get real about dating in the way he sees it. He is always open to discussion. It is an interesting counter-balance to the over-intellectualized accounts of dating that seem to fly over the heads or under the heads of most people.
  4. Be willing to have a good faith discussion about ideas, even if you might not like or want to be challenged. This is a value of doing good philosophy: You welcome discussion, and even good faith criticism. If you just want to be right, you are not doing philosophy.
  5. This raises the issue of Epistemology. What is it to know? Who is the knower, and what are the criteria for knowing? If Truth can be known, then that naturally raises the issue of Epistemology. But can the conclusion to this philosophical issue resolve Truth in the spiritual sense?
  6. This is a great topic for a video you could create.
  7. I tend to see Truth as beyond Philosophy. Philosophy can serve a pointer function at best for Truth IMO. Truth is a realization. https://www.actualized.org/insights/profound-quotes-144
  8. Psychology is sometimes a real limiting belief. It depends.
  9. So which current Dems do you see on the horizon, male or female, that can do anything about addressing this problem, if any?
  10. Are you sick or is this just a hypothetical?
  11. I do because I am not socially out of tune like a lot of people seem to be. But to each his or her own. We have to deal with everyone as they are.
  12. Can you explain this more to me?
  13. I feel stifled by measurement as much as it is useful to me.
  14. I might see it on IMAX tomorrow. I saw it today in the theater. It is a good movie. Very meta. Reminds me of other movies I've seen like 8 and 1/2 if you've seen that one. Kinda does a nod to Wall Street. Very funny in a satirical way, and it is about being an actor in a meta way. It is a deep movie. Like a movie you could see a film or theater student make in school but done really well. The ending reminded me of Point Break or Terminator 2. It connected to a few movies for me in terms of tropes. It is an actor's movie almost. It is also kind of a meta exposure (I'm trying to not use critique) of a group of actors (creators) working together and the tensions and personal issues that arise in putting on a collective performance. And then the question is raised as to who the audience is too.
  15. Bliss assumes this architecture of the relative vs. The Absolute. But is there a duality between finite bliss and Absolute Bliss? Again, this discussion is very philosophically (ideologically) loaded.
  16. Be careful of thinking you can get it through philosophy alone. You get attached to ideology. But also study world philosophy. One more I suggest is do a lot of Do Nothing Meditation. Spend a lot of time by yourself and with others, with gaps in between. The solo retreat is underrated!
  17. You might examine the duality between relative and Absolute Truth. This became dogma on the path due to Indian Philosophy.
  18. I'm talking about career life purpose specifically. This means making your life purpose ideally your only source of making money.
