Sure, the machines are inherently bad for our brains in some ways, but it also has us fully plugged in, so the wise choice is to dive into the rabbit hole and retrieve as many carrots as possible

Don Beck and Chris Cowan used Clare Graves' Emergent Cyclical theory as the basis for their model, and developed it while working with various projects in South-Africa and America. The empirical basis of the stages was mostly laid down by Graves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_W._Graves

I think watching something like ToE with Curt Jaimungal won't really erode your brain though ?

Well, either way, I get really hyper and cranky at the 5 day mark.

Ejaculation releases prolactin, which reduces the production of testosterone.

I think the game that is being played is showing me yet again that the Twitch space is not a healthy space and that I should consider getting my entertainment from elsewhere. The moment somebody says "he is a manipulator", my brain just shuts down and starts overthinking and doubting everything. It's not a good state to be in. Just merely having someone plant the idea and reassert it while you keep engaging in the situation, is damaging. The best thing you can do is leave. Just because it's online and you're watching from the outside doesn't mean it's not damaging. It's just experienced through the frame of parasociality. It still has the same psychological effects. So yeah, I think I'm leaving this for now (the MrGirl drama specifically, and maybe all of Twitch at some point). I'll wait until the article comes out.

There is nothing wrong with asking rhetorical questions, certainly not in absentia ?

If you don't pay your taxes, your present moment will inevitably be screwed.

The quality of the present moment is inevitably determined by the future.

If you didn't get the point: something being natural is not the end all be all of what makes something good or bad.

Cooking is not found in nature.

The only time I've heard about things having a golden glow to them is when Jan Esmann talked about "God consciousness". I think I heard it one of his BATGAP interviews on YouTube.

I have an implicit rule for myself to only speak about spirituality when asked directly about it. If you do it that way, it'll most often be something which is easy to talk about. No need to preach something which sounds cool.

@KH2 Oh, that was a poem That's what past me just whizzed.

He is going to talk about MBTI in 3, 2, 1...

Please be honest with yourself: are you Nick Fuentes right now?

@thisintegrated @Artsu Let's not call each other derogatory terms like child or retard.

Example?

Or just uncapped human curiosity.

Which claims?

@Tyler Robinson How is this relevant to the topic?

Even thisintegrated thinks it's vague. That says something

Well, there are a lot of good trailers out there

That's what girls do. Men just imagine something they saw at the gym.
