Burnout is when your performance drops significantly, and it's more visceral and actually physical than the feelings associated with a lack of discipline. It's like you lack basic life energy, and it affects everything else you do. On the other hand, the feelings that arise due to a lack of discipline are usually more psychological: emotional turmoil, indecision, feelings of inadequacy, shame and anxiety. You don't have the same problems with energy, only that you're aiming it in the wrong direction, and your mind will tell you about it.

The organism and the mind comes before everything else. How does the mind learn about math, physics, chemistry, programming? What are the traps of learning, of thinking you deeply understand a subject when you really don't? Which types of assumptions underlie each subject which most people take for granted and which skew their perception of these subjects and reality in general? Why are these subjects generally considered as more fundamental than other subjects? What are the historical reasons, cultural, psychological or biological reasons for how humans approach these subjects?

Disruptive practices that break habitual frames and also increase general resilience are perfect tools for spiritual practice. As for torture, if it's either intense and/or long-lasting, it could be considered a disruptive practice, which could lead to a shift in perspective that could facilitate an awakening experience. However, if it otherwise leads to permanent physical or psychological damage, it's of course not recommended.

For people who use TikTok in here, what do you usually use it for?

I'm a capitalist — reality is infinite value. I'm also an anarchist — reality cannot be encapsulated by a finite set of rules. I'm also a libertarian — I'm free to re-define words whichever way I see fit, without thinking about the social consequences. This is how I feel when I read discussions about solipsism.

You're giving a reductionistic read of what writing is and what thinking is. Writing is a type of thinking. It's not as simple as copying and pasting the contents of your mind over to text form. It's a recursive process of thinking something, writing something, re-reading it, evaluating what needs to be written based on the last phrase and the text as a whole, etc. Writing, when done properly, allows for a deeper form of thinking, one of structure, focus and refinement. Thinking is never just one thing. It's always embedded in a context. When you're talking with somebody, you're vocalizing thoughts and getting a response, and you build thoughts on top of that. When you're watching a movie, or going for a walk, you're responding to the input from that environment and building thoughts on top of that. Writing is a special type of context that is very conducive to organizing your thoughts and formulating in-depth thoughts in a longer format.

How exactly would you do that? Can you train your legs to walk faster than a car?

Not writing things down is like not using a phone. It's a mind-extending tool, and it can be used quite effectively to organize everything from general life problems to emotions and intellectual ideas. The mind is not transparent to itself. You have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind, and the conscious mind has a very limited capacity. Also, the very act of thinking itself is limited, nevermind useless thinking, but even so, most thoughts are in fact useless. It's usually a repetition of the same thing for the 100th time, or wishing something was different, or some fear or frustration. Many problems can be solved and many hours of emotional labor can be avoided by simply writing it down and commiting to a decision on how to move forward, no matter how small that decision might be. Your memory will not be as good, but it's like how our legs aren't as strong as if we didn't use a car. You will still choose to drive if the situation is appropriate. In general, using mind-extending tools in a smart way when there is no reasonable scenario where you will not have access to such tools, can only be smart.

For all of you guys coping, listen to your common sense. None of this is ok behavior. This is embarrassing.

Because reality is a certain way. Imagine that reality is like a river. The water flows downstream. Why can you not paddle upstream just as easily as downstream? Because that is the nature of the river.

@Leo Gura You gotta straighten yourself out, man. People look up to you and copy your behavior.

I remember watching this in primary school in class. Everybody was like "he is crazy", while I was like "if it's like he says and it's the only thing that truly fulfills him, then why not?" ☺️

Ok, then it was a moment of clairvoyance. Some people have that from time to time.

So you saw a guy from 200 ft away, you saw the guy again and you weren't sure but you guessed it was him and you were correct. That's called using your intuition

Plants and smaller animals aren't thought to have a big capacity to suffer unlike a pig or a cow who have big brains and complex emotions. A pig has the intelligence of a 3 year old child and experiences a similar range of sensations and emotions. You have to eat something, so you would try to eat that which minimizes the amount of suffering, which is why you choose to eat less complex forms of life if that is your concern.

What was the miracle though?

Eggs contain things that are required for producing and maintaining testosterone levels. It's not like they're a magic pill.

I compulsively look up the definitions of words all the time. It's just a thing I do.

Sounds a bit autistic to me

Whether paradoxes can or cannot exist, if you're using logic to justify either case, you're limiting reality to logic, which means your answer might not be true.

What makes you think that? What happens when you talk to a girl?

If you don't bother to look up the words, you're not very autistic. Add 5 points ?

This is the most insane Meshuggah song I've ever heard. It's quite literally insane.
