I asked this question and used the text from one of my favorite writings: "Can you analyse this text and try to give me the MBTI type that is most likely the case for the person who wrote the text?:" This is what it answered: I've consistently thought of myself as a mix of an INFP and an INTP, so when I write something that is the deepest reflection of myself and the bot seems to agree, that's cool. I also tried it out on different people on the forum, and it's surprisingly accurate. I haven't seen it differentiate between E/I (e.g. ENFP vs. INFP), but it's nevertheless the same functions.

I think of intuition as all the inarticulated ways of perceiving information that are not discrete sense perceptions, which seems to touch on some of the things you're mentioning. In other words, you don't know exactly why something is the way it is, or where it came from, or why it occurred to you in that moment (you can only speculate), but somehow it seems important for whatever the situation is. It's not like a set-by-step process of deducing a logical conclusion. It simply occurs to you as if you're "seeing" it (hence it's a way of perceiving, and it's not articulated). This can apply to anything from choosing the premises for a logical argument, to vague feelings about something being off, to being compelled to do something a certain way which you can't explain.

Yes, inhaling any smoke is bad, not just marijuana. Shrooms aren't smoked (psilocybin mushrooms that is). I don't think it causes you to age that fast though. I think forehead lines may appear more or less pronounced depending on the day, e.g. because of varying stress levels, or even something as innocuous as emoting when talking to people. Also, consider that you've recently started smoking weed, a substance that alters visual perception and level of inquisitiveness.

It's more like a blank void, but it's not even a void, because it doesn't really extend anywhere. There is no point separate from another point. There is one point, a pure emanation. But yes, the descriptions are ultimately futile and don't make the experience justice. I did LSD 3 times and weed ~1000 times, and then at one point after I discovered the concept of mindfulness, I spent a week in the mountains with my family doing active mindfulness 24/7 sober (with heavy weed withdrawals, which also meant no desire to masturbate), and at the tail end of that week, I did my 3 first seated meditations ever, and on the 3rd meditation, I awoke. The thing about psychedelics, meditation, or any temporary change in state, is that it's a so-called "disruptive practice". It disrupts habitual functioning and allows for a constrast to arise, which allows you to become more aware of deeply ingrained mechanisms. Imagine being a fish that has only been in water all of his life. The fish doesn't feel the water at all. It doesn't know what it is, because it has always been in water and is fully habituated to the constant stimuli. If the fish is then suddenly lifted out of the water, they'll experience the constrast between water and non-water for the first time, and then as it re-immerses itself, it'll become more aware of the true nature of water. That is the essence of a disruptive practice. The explanation for why I awoke when I did is not mainly the fact that I had smoked weed so many times or done LSD a couple of times, but that I had spent a week where I didn't smoke weed and also where I did something completely new (active mindfulness practice). This was in fact a massive confounding of several disruptive practices. And then on top of that, at the end of the week, I didn't go back to weed, but instead I did something I've also never done before: seated meditation. Essentially, that week was like a huge active meditation retreat with a chronic pharmacological disruption (weed withdrawal) as well as nofap (another disruption), as well as being in a different environment than my usual daily habits (skiing in the mountains), which then finally culminated in another completely new practice (seated meditation). This is what it takes to truly get underneath your own skin. You have to see how it's like without it, and sometimes you have to go to the extremes.

No, but it helps kickstarting things. I'm talking about intensive 10-day retreats where you do basically nothing but meditating. It doesn't have to be through an organization, but that can certainly make some of the practical aspects easier. Imagine taking your current experience and gradually removing all the contents. Start with the visual field, your sense of hearing, then the sensations in your body, smells, etc. What is left? That is the essence of reality: pure consciousness.

@Someone here Brother, if anybody as inquisitive as you ever has a mystical experience, they'll become an actual sage. Don't hold yourself back Aim to try some psychedelics, or go on a meditation retreat or something.

This is not my usual kind of post, but I was (literally) blown away by this. So, I own an air purifier that I have in my bedroom: It's from Cotech, it's very cheap, and it takes in air from the backside and blows it straight upwards. Anyways, I have a routine of finishing off while standing (because it feels better), and one time I noticed that having the air purifier on high speed a few feet away from me creates a slight breeze on my back which acts kind of stimulating. So I've been doing that for a while, but last time, right before climaxing, I decided to place it directly behind me where it blew straight across my back, and it threw me into the most breathy climax I've ever had. It was as if the wind was blowing straight through me. I sounded like a freaking train leaving the station How do I explain this? At least for me, the area around my lower back becomes more sensitive the longer I go without releasing my sexual energy. It's to the extent that the times I've shaved my back (lol), I can have trouble falling asleep because of the short hairs slightly rubbing against the blanket as I breathe. There are of course obvious associations between sexual energy and the spine (kundalini energy), so it seems like stimulating the lower back during climax can cause a synergistic build-up of energy. I also think the upward-moving direction of the wind is important as well. If you have an air purifier like this one, or if you just want to try it out with a normal fan, tell me what you think

Would be good to know. Considering the base suicide rate in the world is about 1/10 000, probably 1-10 every video (assuming unique viewers).

So making one-liners about death being an illusion is suddenly not the reason why Leo is 10x worse than Tate?

I'm literally just following your statements to their logical conclusion. Making one-liners about death being an illusion => you're 10x worse than Tate.

Yeah, and he is 10x worse than Andrew Tate for making that video...

Yep. We know that humans are capable of human cognition, but a program that moves letters around is not anything close to a human. To claim that there exists anything akin to human cognition which correlates with such a letter-moving process is a wild claim.

You don't know that. I for one discovered Rupert's videos before Leo's forum.

Any suicides would be due to a misunderstanding of Leo's intended message, while any sex trafficking operations would be due to a proper understanding of Tate's intended message

Here is one such one-liner: Yeah, compassion = bad

This is just not reasonable. I don't know how to make you see this. Would you say the same thing for Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, etc.?

Bro, there are levels to this shit

It's this simple: is a human the same as a computer program?

Well, that erases all the points you just made about Leo being 10x as toxic as Tate. Regardless, I don't think you sincerely believe that repeating a New-Age trope of "you're immortal" is 10x worse than sharing a step-by-step guide on how to sex traffic innocent women.

You could make the case that some spiritual teachings should ideally be locked behind doors and only shared in an intimate teacher-student relationship, as was the case traditionally. However, if we look at the current reality, "death is an illusion, etc." is a common trope which has existed all throughout history in various religions, and today, there are thousands of YouTube videos from especially the Advaita community where this is mouthed ad nauseum. It's virtually certain that a Leo follower who is interested in spirituality already knows about this information. But sure, I think spirituality in general needs an ethical revamping. However, this is not even in the same ballpark as abusing and traumatizing tons of women in a sex trafficking operation aimed to only benefit yourself and sharing a step-by-step guide on how to do those exact things to millions on the internet.

I disagree, and you can't. But go ahead.

Why should those things be comparable? lol

I can actually somewhat agree to that in some specific cases, but "unambigiously linked" is ironically a very ambigious thing to say, and I wouldn't say that makes him 10x more toxic than Andrew Tate lol.
