A book better than GEB

@Flyboy I'll be more careful about how I post. You guys take the things I say way too seriously.

Nahh, this is fun, we need more of that

Who cares about Ekchart Tolle or someone like him say be in the present moment bro

Both spirituality and philosophy need way more punch than that 

We need to make it sexy

Otherwise it gets associated way too easily with incel culture and so forth by common people

We are already too stupid as a society

That's not my aim. My aim is to make it realistic.

Why? That focus will mislead people.

The goal should be facilitating, not hyping the content.

At that point you've lost it.

When the focus isn't in honest communication, integrity is broken. The goals change and turns into feel- good, rhetorical entertainment with no substance.

Recipe for misleading others.

Ridiculous strawman

If you think sex is only for entertainment, you have no idea what sex is

Why would the truth need to be sugarcoated?

Seems to me like you're saying that communication isn't enough, therefore turn the truth into something that it's not so that it makes us feel good and entertained.

Got it. But I'm talking about spirituality.

What? 

I'm talking about "spirituality."

I mean more like we need to work on increasing the appeal of this work

Within ethical way as much as possible and not in some cheap entertainment way either

It's a challenge for sure, some need to dedicate their lives to it
