  1. You can't predict infinity.
  2. Things are all good until somebody feels like saying something is bad. Good is the default state.
  3. If you define "human behavior" to be 0.0001% of what it means to be human, then sure, have your 93%.
  4. Predict my next sentence. Predict my eye movements. Predict my bowel movements. Predict when one of the oxygen molecules in my lungs are being dislodged from a hemoglobin molecule. Predict the next new technology. Predict when the next car crash will happen. Predict who is the next person to die on earth.
  5. Unless it feels like you're literally dying every moment of your existence, there is a good chance you're not awake.
  6. You have to admit that what you're saying is only a matter of perspective.
  7. Absoluteness denotes that there is no opposite. It's all good.
  8. What is a mystical experience?
  9. You must have been tormented with existential questions for your entire life before you're able to accept that possibility.
  10. I'll echo my sentiment that it's a good introduction to SD, even if it's a bit inaccurate in places. It's accessible, well-made, and to the point. It will probably bring more people over to Leo's videos, so I don't really see any downsides to that. If there was one thing that could be made more clear is how the model oscillates between individualistic and collectivistic stages and how this is uniquely expressed through each stage. However, I could see how adding too much complicated lingo could subtract from the accessibility aspect. Man I just had a wild thought: what if a YouTuber with the production style of someone like CGP Grey or CrashCourse made a SD introduction video? Ah gawwwd?
  11. Sit with your eyes closed and feel.
  12. Intermittent fasting, restricting masturbation, getting enough sleep, meditation.
  13. I apologize for my formulation being overly complicated. Let me try again: You're scratching at something that appears to be a paradox and a self-contradiction, but that is only from the perspective of the mind, because the mind only sees relativity. The point I'm getting at is that the world is simultaneously rich in differences while at the same time being all the same. It all depends on which perspective you take (the relative and the absolute). The absolute is only accessible through direct experience.
  14. Principle is survival.
  15. Stop hurting yourself. Relax. Give up.
  16. I think everyone has a whacky phase where you're getting accustomed to the new reality. How whacky depends on your prior cognitive development. If you're Tier 1 when stumbling across awakening, you want to share your insights to everyone without understanding that people 1. don't care and 2. think you're crazy.
  17. Got a little bit of the same vibes. Green is misunderstood in general. The video works well as a general introduction to the model. You shouldn't expect a detailed walkthrough from a 25 minute video.
  18. Great video. A little bit corny explanation of Turquoise though.
  19. Sometimes it's just best for simplicity's sake to not circumnavigate the rules to accommodate a single person.
  20. Also don't forget that there are only so many ways to arrange words in a finite sentence
  21. Just because he is orange doesn't mean his points are invalid.
  22. I also shuffle between INFP and INTP according to cognitive functions (all my tests are basically dominated by Fi, Ne and Ti). It makes more sense because they have the same auxiliary and tertiary functions (xx > Ne > Si > xx). INFP and INFJ share zero similarities in cognitive functions. INTP and INFJ share two functions (Ti, Fe) but they're all in different places: INTP = Ti > xx > xx > Fe INFJ = xx > Fe > Ti > xx Try taking a test that measures cognitive functions directly.
