That's a strawman- I mean a weedman. Apples and oranges. All kids play video games. Get with the times.

I live for the day when this gets its own little spot in the philosophy 101 books that all the college freshmen have to force themselves to read . Imagine the level of mindfuck and frustration from having to read that when most people even struggle with stuff like Karl Popper lol

What an incredibly simplistic way of looking at it. Yeah let's just ignore the fact that all his friends are also playing that game. Young people can't just pick and choose which culture they grow up in. Do you know the type of social isolation that happens when you don't participate in the same activities as your peers?

McCain truly respected Obama more than probably anybody else. There is a reason he wanted him to read his eulogy.

But is that what YOU want? Don't listen to Leo. Find out what you want for yourself. The ego doesn't exist.

They're Hasidic jews.

Purpose is discriminatory, discrete, dividing, guiding. Being is.

I go red everytime I do deadlifts at the gym .

Dare I say he is relatively relativist . He is trying to clothe subjectivity with objectivity, which is syntactically taxing and excessive. Maybe he is using it as a rhetorical device, to maintain good optics, or it's just based on an internal drive to be objective.

Tbh there is nothing you can do to stop people from spending 10 hrs a day at the computer nowadays.

I was actually given a RuneScape membership from my mom for christmas when I was 11, and then when we were about to pay for it, my dad read that it was for kids over 12 years old, so I didn't get it. I was devastated. My closest friend was given a membership years ago, but they didn't care. When I look back at my life, it was actually a defining moment in forming my personality. After that, I would almost never ask my parents for anything, because I was too afraid to get rejected. (I know that this story comes off as relatively privileged compared to most children in the world, but it's nonetheless a story worth sharing). My friends would buy the newest playstation, all the newest games, the newest phones, computers, clothes, shoes etc.. And me? Basically nothing. Of course I would get these things sometimes in birthday or christmas presents, but I never dared to ask for these "cool" things. I dont know if this is related, but I also never asked my teachers for help during math class, even if I struggled with a problem (similar dynamic there). I later found out a way to pay for membership on my own (PaySafe cards), and I stuck to RuneScape as my only game. The fact that I was denied it reinforced both my love for it AND my avoidant behavior, because instead of potentially getting rejected, I could just stick to RuneScape. My friends have always been perplexed over why I virtually haven't played any other games, and I was too, but I think I've found atleast one reason why that is. I also believe this "trauma" was one of the driving forces behind my short descent into drug addiction (which I resolved through spiritual growth). I had these deep hedonistic impulses in me that I had repressed to protect myself, and these started to bubble over once I got introduced to weed. Long story short, I turned into a very problematic kid in my later teenage years, but I came out of it more or less unscathed. I'm not telling this story in order to convince you to do anything a particular way, but rather it's one way to say that parenting is a tightrope walk. You might think that you're creating a perfect human being by denying your child the option to overindugle, but it might backfire on you. Now, games with explicit violence is a touchy subject, so I won't say that my story is comparable to your situation, but I think it can help to provide some general perspective.

You have to distinguish between sensation and experience. Normally, you do require functioning sensory apparatuses to have a particular sensation (sight, smell, touch etc.), but the experience of this sensation is not bound by anything. Infact, the sensory apparatuses along with the sensations they produce only happen "within" experience. If you want to be really careful, it seems like sensory apparatuses do cause sensations in certain situations (that is most of the time), but they don't cause experience. Sensations come and go, but experience always is.

There is something called emotions

The title is misleading btw. It's a disagreement between a moral absolutist (Blue) and a moral relativist (high-Orange). Notice how the absolutist tries to frame the relativist's views as ridiculous.

@Brittany He is early green at best according to my estimation (vegan activism). His disagreement with Sam Harris isn't very surprising either as moral relativism is pretty much a staple in rationalist circles. He is a strong materialist (explains his determinist view on free will). He might go yellow later in his life or if he stumbles across some type of consciousness expansion.

Is it true that you can't spell "you're" or are you just pretending that you can't?

High CBS males. Your femoid attraction potential is directly proportional to the chad bone structure factor (CBS). I'm of course kidding.

What if you asked the rabbit who successfully escaped all the wolves? As a serious wolf scientist, you should want to find ways to falsify your hypothesis, not just ways to confirm it. Just because you've found evidence of one hypothesis doesn't mean there aren't other valid hypotheses out there. Falsification is a more information-dense process of testing hypotheses than confirmation, thus you should also ask the rabbit about what failures a wolf can avoid, not just the strategies that one wolf used to succeed

The acid will often show you what you need to work on. For example this chronic tension in the body, do you know what causes it? Is there a solution? This monkey-mind - is there a solution? Try to fix these things and try again. Then see what new stuff it wants to show you. I remember the first time I took acid as a completely ignorant 18 year old. I had spent hours thinking about funny things that I wanted to experience during the trip ("trippy shit"), and when I actually ended up tripping, I discovered that I had this chronic feeling of dissatisfaction of constantly wanting to experience something interesting. This feeling of constant pressure, along with other forms of existential despair, became the focal point of my trip. Essentially, my trip brought me in direct contact with the truth of "Dukkha", as conceptualized in Buddhism (commonly translated as "suffering", "unhappiness", "pain", "unsatisfactoriness" or "stress"). I was frenetically grasping onto finite experiences in order to feel pleasure, and rather than keeping my focus on those pleasures, my focus was painfully directed towards this feeling of emptiness. As disappointing as it was during my trip, it was arguably the deepest insight that has stuck with me ever since the beginning of my spiritual journey and all the way up to today. Dukkha is the most intimate aspect of life: it drives the very impulse of survival itself. Nobody has not felt the ramifications of Dukkha, and it stays with you all the way til your grave... unless you wake up and see through the illusion of separateness and merge with Love.

He doesn't exactly need help to do that

How do you define tribes? Is it a group of people who share common cultural values? If so, then tribes existed long before Homo sapiens existed. Humans are natural pack animals. But what distinguishes a tribe of humans from say a pack of wolves? I would say it lies in the complexity of the culture: explicit cultural artefacts like tools, locally bound survival techniques transmitted through language; myths, stories, rituals etc.. Different wolf packs may have different behavioural patterns depending on their local environment (a form of culture), but the way these are mediated are through lower forms of learning (imitation) rather than higher forms (language). I believe Stage Purple naturally arises in pack animals when there is a symbolically rich language present, and that is estimated to have existed as far back as Homo erectus (1.8 million years ago) or even Homo habilis (2.5 million years ago). Humans came on the scene merely 200 000 years ago. I would assume that Beige is reserved for pre-linguistic stages of childhood development (0-6 months old), although it's fair to assume that the level of language development required to sustain Purple in a homogeneous population would be equivalent to ~3 years old.

Realizing infinite love feels exactly like death from your limited perspective. So you still have to die, but death is imaginary in an absolute sense.

Who is this duality? ?

Yo mooji is so 2015.
