  1. You should be concerned and it shouldn't be denied. Acknowledging the absolute does not negate the relative. They're just different perspectives.
  2. What if you had boobies?
  3. Shouldn't be too hard when you only get your perspective from other people anyway
  4. Do you fear being feminine?
  5. Yeah I know nothing about MBTI, that's for sure
  6. I struggle to find a definitive difference between the traits Sensing/Intuition and Perceiving/Judging. I feel that both go under the Big Five trait of Openness and that there is a very severe overlap between them. https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/ They are so freaking similar. Can somebody walk me through the differences? Thanks
  7. Follow your bliss, man.
  8. LOL. I took the test myself and it was garbage hahaha. SD cannot be evaluated through a standarized test.
  9. I was speaking in his terms. I wouldn't use that language normally. The universe doesn't really "want" anything. It just is what it is, and that is Truth. Man, some people have a really hard time with analogies on this forum. No, of course not, they're completely different. I was talking about pain True. Falsehood is also relative.
  10. His whole topic is essentially "atleast we're not Africa".
  11. The universe definitely wants it. It's just you who doesn't want it lol. Depends on the context. The pain I experience from doing a deadlift is almost blissful. Call me a sadomasochist. In the psychopath's perspective, we're the ones with the damaged minds that we allow other people to take advantage of us.
  12. That was a request to give a more concrete answer. Now you just went in the complete other direction lol.
  13. I have no idea what you just responded to.
  14. Jesse Lee Peterson is the master of loaded language and black-and-white thinking. Never take him on his word lol.
  15. Whenever you assume something to be objective, you're denying the importance of perspective.
  16. In a practical and colloquial sense of the word, maybe. However, it would be more accurate to say that you're using an addictive substance in a relatively responsible way rather than in an irresponsible way (abuse), which after all is what medical professionals are assigned to do all the time (morphine, adderall, antidepressants etc.). Many people do very addictive drugs rather infrequently, and they're relatively fine. Then again, some people define any use of illegal drugs as abuse, so there you have that
  17. On the topic of dependence, I can't find any information anywhere about dependence or withdrawal symptoms, but they do create tolerance. I've heard about people taking psychedelics frequently, like once a week, and they only reported about needing to up the dose, but nothing about dependence afterwards. Psychedelics are weird. LSD on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysergic_acid_diethylamide Notice the nuance between "abuse" and "addiction". That's nice. On the topic of addiction, according to this study, if you define addiction as increased mesocorticolimbic dopamine activity, psychedelics aren't addictive: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1635740/ That doesn't mean you can't abuse it though
