Holy shit Destiny is so weasely. Skip to when he talks to Vegan Gains: Vegan Gains is being extremely precise and clear in his speech, and Destiny is being the complete opposite: he is literally stumped when he is asked to define what he means when he says "probably" for the 40th time of kneejerking the same obfuscating response. Also notice how he hides behind "I don't care about pointing out dogwhistles, I only care what somebody says directly" and " I don't care about single tweets people have said, only a holistic account of something they've done or said in a specific context". He has constructed a perfect fortress for weaseling himself away from reconciling the inconsistency between having enabled Fuentes' antics and his worldview. EDIT: Vegan Gains did well in the beginning, but it went downhill pretty fast after he did the "it's the only logical conclusion" thing and when he called Fuentes and Hitler stupid.

A bare amount is beneficial for things like mental health or even physical health, but we're talking about a quantitative trade-off: the less time you spend socializing, the more time you can spend thinking, meditating or improving yourself.

There is nothing to leave.

Nope. Norwegian high school lasts for three years (15-16 to 18-19). She was in third year when I was in second year, and there was one music class for third year and one for second year, and we didn't really have classes together (except for a few projects), and she was rarely in class at that point as her fame had started picking up (she was 18-19 in the video above). The only time I "interacted" with her was one time when me and my friends from second year were walking in to music class and she was sitting on a table talking to a friend, and we locked eyes before she left. Alan Walker also went to the same school, and my friend partied with him one time.

If you look at how the words are generally used, you never see somebody calling an earthworm "an intellectual", or saying it has a sharp intellect, or is engaged in intellectual activities. On the other hand, "intelligence" is often used to describe things like animal intelligence ("the worm is able to locate food without seeing; it's intelligent") or even non-animal intelligence ("mushrooms and trees are able to communicate through mycelia and root systems; they're intelligent"). "Intellect" is used to refer to human capacities like conceptual thinking, abstract reasoning, sapience, while "intelligence" can be used to refer to everything from simple life forms to intellectual geniuses. The problem with modern society is that people tend to treat intellect as the only form of intelligence that actually matters.

I think a superiority complex can often occur as a way to compensate for something that you're lacking which is often quite obvious. For example, I didn't do well in high school (for a myriad of reasons), and I would develop a superiority complex around that which said: "actually, I'm really smart, if you just get to know me... my friends call me smart all the time... just wait, I'll show you".

My breakfast: 3 organic eggs, scrambled on medium heat, slightly runny. 3 super-thin slices of toasted 60-90% whole wheat bread. 1/2 of a hand-sized fruit (e.g. orange, kiwi, apple, peach, etc.) Spread the scrambled eggs equally on each slice of bread, eat them warm, and eat the fruit as a dessert. And if you say "cholesterol" or "acrylamide", phOk you.

Frank Zappa is a goldmine of these kinds of quotes:

What about instead of remember, you can't shake the feeling?

Lol just scroll through my latest posts on the death penalty.

He can still have an opinion. If you want my personal experiences, I study psychology, and I noticed the time I went for a short practice visit where minorities meet each other to practice speaking Norwegian, after speaking with a person who wasn't dumb by any means but just new to the language (he had a PhD in math didactics), and afterwards while speaking to my classmate, it felt like my mind was severely slowed down from having simplified my language for 2 hours straight. I think social interactions in general work the same way. Regardless of what you're talking about, you have to simplify your thinking so that people can understand you, and it might make you less smart if that is how you spend most of your time.

Lol. We disagree with Leo all the time.

Adversity is a broad concept, is all I'm saying.

@Roy I get it, you hire people and pay them by letting them stay in the bunker. I was thinking "hire" implies money payment.

Where you gonna buy shit?

How do you hire someone for the apocalypse?

This is a tad presumptuous. You don't know Leo personally. Socializing with the right people can make you smarter.

New Agers throwing their hands up in the air is actually a part of every subject on this forum, apparently.

I'm saying society was poorer 100 years ago as a whole. Regardless, if you're serious about spiritual practice, you should generally avoid entertaining thoughts that externalize responsibility ("x, y and z is not my fault, it's society's fault"). If it's a part of your life and you can't change it, it's not making your life harder. It is life.

Poverty is a constant distraction.

An amoeba or an ant is intelligent, but they don't have an intellect.

Compared to 100 years ago, not at all. You were distracted by survival all the time: poverty, disease, famine, war, etc.

At one point, you need to let go of that. You can't spend most of your day being bummed out about it, because then it will never happen. And stop blaming modern society. Your opportunity to become highly conscious is 100x greater than 100 years ago.

What?
