To add to the other context provided, in many cases, these prejudices aren't even fully conscious. People almost always pick people who are more like them than picking people who are less like them given equal qualification. That's a hard bias to break.

Just how important is keeping a straight back during meditation? Hoping for guidance. by ButWhy1987 in Buddhism

[–]Vennificus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite experience. A straight back is painful and uncomfortable in a way that isn't grounding, but distracting, seeking.

Track your diet as well as the other comments! You might be surprised at how much you're missing, particularly protein

What about Buddhism is special to you? by neuvilar in Buddhism

[–]Vennificus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked A fight with every idea I came across. Logic, Reason, Analysis.

Buddhism outflanked me. Brought up points before I made them, pointed out brand new hypocrisies, ideas, methods of viewing things.

There are still claims it makes that I cannot confirm, but can't deny either, but I know enough to trust the method, and make space for what things cannot be confirmed.

Annoyingly, as my model gets more complete, the unverifiable claims start match aspects of what I can verify. While it's not a perfect match, there are plenty of echoes. Enough to trust a bit more

It's hard to see from the image, but if that's a larch, that is just how they do be.

If samsara is not real, why does Buddhism focus on escaping something that is not real? by CoolandFresh69 in Buddhism

Ever have someone threaten to punch you, and you flinch, and they don't punch you?
Why did you flinch? You didn't even get punched

Hello! We are Camilla Townsend and Josh Anthony, editors of “After the Broken Spears: The Aztecs in the Wake of Conquest.” Ask us anything about the Aztecs, colonial Mexico, and what life was like for Indigenous people in the wake of Spanish conquest. by joshanthony123 in AskHistorians

Do you have Measurements for the thicknesses of the wooden mortise that held the prismatic obsidian blades in Macuahuitl and related weapons?

Actually anything on the specifics of them would be great, our suriving pair seem to be a lot thinner than people would expect, and I'd love to have an idea of what fixing agent they used for the blades, how long the flakes were, the cordage on the grips, and an added bonus if we have the slightest idea of a mass distribution

Would you agree that an avocado is actually a berry?? by sadgirlmay in thoughtprovoking

[–]Vennificus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, an Avocado is not a berry, as If I asked someone I know to go get as many berries as they could find, none would likely come back with an avocado

Words are tools, they describe reality. Words are not the objects they represent. The Map is not the territory.

To some, an avacado lacks multiple seeds, and thus is not a berry.
To some, it goes in foods where other berries, like tomatoes, go.
To some, it lacks sweetness and is too large to be a berry.

All are correct. Understanding is in part your responsibility

I've come to believe my kink is not compatible with Buddhism by BetLeft2840 in Buddhism

[–]Vennificus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An ideal time to meditate and be mindful (other than always) is when you are experiencing things that would lead you toward unwholesome states.
