Goggins is an anime character

I can't take that guy seriously.

If you lock him alone in a room, he will want to kill himself.

He's the epitome of a mouse running faster and faster in a wheel, thinking he's getting somewhere, vlogging his journey.

All Goggins does is work out with no goal except working out and bragging about how much he works out.

It's a sick decadence, really.

Growing up there was an old guy that would run all the time where I lived. Easily half a marathon every couple days, probably 70 years old, he was ripped. Way before Goggins. Ran with his head a little back and to the side and his eyes were always pretty much closed, never a water bottle. I never thought to look up his running career, I need to find his name.

Wouldn't mapping out examples of conformity in this forum post also be conforming? everybody listing off examples of conformity to conform to being non conformist. Just don't want to fall into the trap of thinking you're non conformist while also "conforming" to being non conformist. What about actualized in general? isn't that conformity to mind development of seeing human traps in general, but wouldn't that be a paradox? considering doing this work is also conforming to breaking out of typical conformist nature. A cat can't conform because it doesn't have concept of human language.

I think human language itself is one of the biggest traps of all, because just trying to reason and form understanding, so then it can be used to rationalize and conform to the idea of being awakened. You get to a point where language essentially collapses because it can't define past what a human mind is capable of understanding and explaining in human language. And that's essentially what happens when you try to define god. you hit a ceiling and human language doesn't work anymore. only direct understanding/experience of infinite consciousness. you're only defining what you can understand and reason with in language. But if the goal of this work is to ascend beyond normal human consciousness, then shouldn't you ascend beyond language? Because if you don't it keeps you in the loop of human rationalization and creating understanding. We are just little pockets of God trying to explain to ourselves in language to form a ground to experience reality and understand it. But whatever ground you form is just imaginary and self created. Obviously you can't get away from language after all if you're god being a human...
