I do judge sloppy and irresponsible people.

Like addicts, criminals, perverts, liars, degenerates, scammers, etc.

I don't tolerate that kind of behavior and mentality.

I'm not saying judgment is wrong, but it can be overstated in a way that is not conducive to relation.

I agree. I want to be less judgmental. But when people behave like such animals it is hard.

My sister actually does a lot of booking for them, if you ever need a last minute entry for their shows.

Like addicts

What about people who are 'addicts', but not to serious hardcore drugs like heroin, but to something like cell phone or cigarettes? 

Do you harshly look down on cigarette addicts who can't seem to quit? 

Like this woman at the 10:00 minute mark.

Also, this documentary is really good, I would recommend it.

Hi Leo in regards to your two posts on India. We have just been in Sri Lanka doing the exact same things the young chinese woman was doing and maybe even more dangerous things such as walking without guides through slums at noon.

^^^ Your post reminded me of this recent story of a Sri lankan guy jacks off in front of female tourists.

Its gonna be way different for you since your a guy. Any female solo traveling in these countries should be on high alert always

We met many females from EU contries during our 3 week stay. They had nothing but positive experiences. Not to say shit doesn't happen sometimes in developing nations. 

Again it's important in such countries to not draw attention to yourself and be especially weary of clothing attire choice to minimize chances of bad experiences (both sexes but especially females).

Also in these countries trust your gut feeling when assesing situations. If something doesn't feel right get out of there.

Do you feel disgust behind the judgement? It is a common one for me. And often I find the feeling of disgust arises prior to the thought judgement appearing - or me being aware of it. An extreme turn off is felt.

On the flipside of the above - my feelings of disgust are simultaneous with deep compassion. I have a contradictory set of emotions/feelings that arise together; I understand what drives people to extremes of degeneracy. I also project my own capabilities heavily onto others; when they fall short I can be harsh. I remind myself often there are others out there who are simple. Double digit IQs. Developmentally behind. Brain damaged.

I am in a position of privilege. It is very easy for me to project my aptitude onto others and judge when they fall short. There is a limit to responsibility in the absence of rational intellect, education and competency.

You should also consider nuance in india as well. There are many safe areas within india - esp in nicer areas in cities 

I've been to india several times and never witnessed harrassment either (lived there for 1y+). But i also dont know what its like from the pov of a non brown woman so theres that

I also have read abt white women that live in india that that say that they havent experienced harrassment 

Edit:

I also do recall now, without doxxing details, i was in an area of where there were around 1k indian people and around a dozen non indian women, and at least from hearsay, i didnt hear of any incidents of harassment. So theres that

I don't have much emotion behind it.

Mostly it's just sad that humans are so unconscious and negligent.

And there is a feeling of how deep Reality is. The dysfunction of mankind is so deep it's stunning.

There are many functions at play contributing to this dysfunction. Illustrating them has always been a huge portion of your work.

Not to say sadness is an incorrect emotion in this instance. There's a possibility more subtle emotions hide underneath the label of sadness, that would reveal where the judgement portion would stem from. Stopping and observing in the next instance of the despairing might reveal more subtly in the feeling. Not sure.

Feelings are a strange one, as they are a powerful and intelligent system evolved as a protection mechanism for survival. But they do all sorts of juju when the intellect is involved.

Anyway, thanks for the dyadic

I have put 50 hours into it so far (I beat sts1 on a20, so naturally I was looking for more spire)

I had to slow down because I let it consume my life...

It has big issues and is easier than the first game right now, but it's fun. What do you think of it?

I'm unemployed and can't afford it yet. It's all good though, I still have a lot of juice to squeeze out of the first one!

@Leo Gura Just finished this one

Dark Web Child Abuse https://www.actualized.org/insights/dark-web-child-abuse

They catched a few from the web, but of course that this stuff is far from solved. This is the tip of the iceberg.

Life feels much more mystical and spontaneous in childhood, then we get used to it.

@Leo Gura Is child more connected to what you are referring or did I misunderstood?

Somehow it feels that life got much less exciting once I grew up and survival pressure increased.

Yes. Mildly.

Lost in the sauce.

No time to stand around and smell the roses. Go work the salt mines.

It's something else when your ordinary life itself gets mystical.

There isn’t so much rape in India, the rate is similar to other countries. It’s just that there are a billion Indians so more incidents take place, but not more proportionate to the population than most other countries.
