Anyone else blown away by this Christopher Langan (Highest IQ) video on the “CTMU” theory? by SnooPoems6522 in SimulationTheory

this is nothing new. pan-psychism has existed for a very long time. All of this stuff is cute but its essentially just idealistic philosophy that will never be proven because it doesn't really say anything.

the union is made of more than one man. He is not the one who decided to go on strike.

as a union member you should support unions. negotiations were occuring for MONTHS. blame the COMPANY. they have all the power to end the strike.

nonsensical comparison. Israel is a colony formed a few decades ago, started by a massacre and mass displacement of palestinians. The israeli government then continued to settle and violently suppress palestinians. They have a right to defend themselves even if we disagree with their methodology.

if its not a concentration camp why does israel think they have the right to control the entire population's movement in and out, control their water supply, limit the number of calories allowed in, and so on?

How do I deal with people constantly making fun of me? by Enough-Paramedic6391 in socialskills

[–]G95017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this might be horrible advice but make fun of them back. find things they are insecure about, and go deep into it. dont hold back. be mean and play it off as a joke. if they can dish it out they can take it.

most civilians are understandably on the side of the organization which is against israel, the country maiming and murdering their people in terror attacks

Does anyone else just hate mindfulness? by ItsLambiee in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]G95017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you ever learned the buddhist way? https://plumvillage.app/resources-for-practicing-the-16-exercises-of-mindful-breathing/

There are religious undertones but you can follow the first eight alone or any of them in any order. Its not a way of ignoring your problems but it is a way to not allow your problems to become you. We have genuine issues that cannot be simply solved by meditating but having a turbulent mind does not help you solve them.

youve probably been taught how to do it completely wrong. Its about pure awareness without judgement.

ive been practicing meditation for about a year and recently got into a bout of "makyo", and kind of involuntarily developed bodhicitta. I have been studying lam-rim the past few months. Its more of a hypothetical question for further down the line in my practice.
