What if you keep cutting yourself more and more every time, with the pain getting more intense every time, until you die? -

Multiple thoughts, perceptions and sensations can appear in the same consciousness, which is what people are. -

Does me choosing to cut myself twice a week lead to the same level of pain as me not choosing to do that? -
You think that is what happened? It's probably some ToS stuff.

Hitler is bad relative to a set of values that I hold. That is why I don't support neo-nazi parties. It's true that my values are not absolute, but they are my values that I hold as a human being, and as long as I exist as a human, I will act in accordance with those values. It's just like eating food. From the absolute perspective, there is no reason why I should eat food, but I'm still going to eat food. Do you eat food? -
In other words, virtue.

Tl;dr pls :>

Does a neo-nazi party have just as many advantages and disadvantages as the democratic or republican party? -

So is politics. -
Decisiveness, taking things one step at a time, self-forgiveness.

There is a thing called adaptation, which makes you adapt to your circumstances, but there is also a thing called dynamism and growth, which allows you to change your circumstances, but which requires challenge. Living on the balance between adaptation and challenge is what growth is, and that is where most pleasure is found. When you have adaptation but no challenge, you have degeneration and a downward spiral of of more and more pain. Look at drug addicts, sick people, or dying people. Are they experiencing more or less pain? Are they growing or degenerating, active or inactive, responsive or inert, living or dying? -

I couldn't see shit. -
Meshuggah is in a league of their own though. They basically revolutionized modern metal all on their own. And they're jazz fusion inspired. And aliens.
-
If they're not time travelling AIs from the future, they're at least aliens from outer space. Just listen to Fredrik Thordendal's soloing style in this song. It's like alien morse code or something: Omg the "blue jeans and bloody tears" was so funny. It's like a fever dream.

That has existed since the early 2000s. It's called Meshuggah

Based. You want an entourage of disruptive practices to go along with the main event. That is how you increase the odds of a deeper transformation taking place. And this is actually supported by Western science, just the very cutting edge of cognitive science.

@Gesundheit2 Omg that is so genius

I had a fully spontaneous awakening while sitting an university lecture ?

She would drag him to an orgy every day by the sounds of it. I don't think the true solution here is more sex.

I think surrendering fully to God and giving up control over your human existence is the biggest challenge in life, and all the other challenges are just practice for that moment. -

It's easy to say that. -
Bro that was not the intention Solutions are usually wet, biology is wet. Mechanical devices are dry, elementary particles are dry.
-
Depends if you want to know more about wet stuff than dry stuff. Some of the concepts overlap, like the table of elements, temperature, energy or space and time. So technically, no. Physics comes before chemistry in the terms of things like particle physics and quantum physics (which informs the table of elements), but things like classical mechanics or astrophysics does not.

Feeling like you're constantly on the verge of psychological death for 2 years straight. -

You can try, but don't be surprised if you don't like what you see. I can only speak from my experience (which also happens to line up with many schools of thought on the topic), but also, there are of course cases where young people have woken up and didn't have an averse reaction at all. Besides, when are we ever truly grown up?
