    I learned it through experience that the idea of love can just be a fantasy brought on by my own ego, never loving the person truly, rather loving an image of the person my ego created. I disagree that we have to be ready for love or to love ourselves in order to create a meaningful relationship though

    Over here in Asia, we say that Authoritarians, Totalitarians, Feudalism or a government mixing all of the 3, good example was the Japanese government in 1945 and earlier, they were motivated by race, nationality and religion. And basically has strong leadership ruling above all others. Making strong laws, for example a Samurai's daughter cannot inherit her father's Samurai title. Tats sort of thing. But Democracy tat is motivated by Money, Greed and Propaganda. Tats why many societies in Asia has tat Very negative perceptions of this term "democracy", better we don't have it than we have it...

    For me the 'self actualization' is what resonates. I believe most of us know what our strengths, weaknesses, desires, and potentials are. When we act in a way that is authentic to self we are gaining confidence, esteem, and getting closer to our nature. In a world where we are pulled in so many directions by vices, distractions, behaviors et cetera it is the ultimate power to have introspect and live your life the way you know you are capable of.

    "Democracy" is tyranny! The terms "democracy" and "republic" were taken from Plato's "Republica", a dictatorship controlled by a small ruling elite. Republics are nations controlled at the top by judeo/masonry, no matter thee political colour. Before, nations had catholic monarchies... but judeo/masonry planned to replaced them with "republics"... republics with a "democracy". Monarchies cared for people and protected them, republics with a democracy don't! See the big picture? How the entire world was and still is fooled with 'democracy' and 'republics'? Elections are theatre for public consumption. The 'rule of law' is an euphemism for the j€wi$h talmudism system [babylonian talmud of judaism/pharisaism, not a religion] which is 100% biased against the gentile world. Flipin' heck, you guys never read the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"? It's all there!

    good perspective on this particular path to tyranny... The desire for wealth is a pretty clear corruptor. The fearless and the stoic don't wish to rule, and we can't make them. 🤷 Government seems to be destined for corruption and tyranny.

    I think the explosion in addiction rates among the newer generations has to do with all of the baby boomers and gen xers that got divorced. Divorce, especially at an early age, is incredibly traumatic. B/c of my parents' divorce, I will not have children until I find the right woman, one who I'm with for like 5 years at least.

    I work 12 hours a day at a physical job, then i come home and do a 2 hour workout, all while in the middle of a 20 hour fast. When i finally finish and get to enjoy my first meal, that food is so damn satisfying. Im 39 and ive been living this way for 20 years and i wouldnt live any other way. My friends and family always tell me that im going to get sick or injured because of my lifestyle, yet im in great health and i have the same energy that i had in my twenties while they are all aging faster than me. Most people have no discpline so if you can stick to a grueling routine, you will be better off than the majority of people.

    Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Dio Chrysostom stated that luxury makes pain harder to endure and dulls pleasure. - Modern comforts and pleasures contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and physical issues. - Michael Easter in "The Comfort Crisis" argues that lack of physical struggle and over-reliance on comforts lead to long-term health problems. - Our ancestors engaged in intense physical activities for survival, unlike modern sedentary lifestyles. - Modern conveniences have only been around for a tiny fraction of human history, leading to "comfort creep." - Comfort creep makes old comforts unacceptable and shrinks our comfort zones unconsciously. - Physical inactivity due to modern comforts contributes to obesity and chronic ailments. - Pleasure and pain are processed in overlapping brain regions, maintaining a balance. - Overindulgence in pleasure leads to increased sensitivity to pain and diminished capacity for pleasure. - Abstinence from overindulgence can reset the brain's reward pathways, restoring the ability to enjoy simple pleasures. - Techniques of self-binding, like setting limits and creating barriers, can help mitigate compulsive overconsumption. - Voluntarily seeking out pain through healthy activities can lead to a more enduring experience of pleasure. - Physical exercise, cold water immersion, and setting challenging goals can improve mood and reduce unhealthy cravings. - Historical figures like Diogenes the Cynic embraced discomfort to maximize pleasure and strength. - Main message: Embracing discomfort and pain can lead to greater strength, pleasure, and joy in life.

    More and more, I am seeing young men embrace philosophy. Typically stoicism, which I highly approve of, but in my counseling, we’re all over the map with philosophy and history, and it is very encouraging. Those of the sessions I live for. Great kids and they’re figuring it out in a tough path that will not respect philosophy.

    I totally agree that too much comfort and ease, these days, does weaken us on several levels. However, comparing us and our lifestyles, to those of ancestors, omits the fact that most of them also died before the age of 40. In the earliest days, more like 25 to 30. So balance is the ideal, imho.

  • @cheeseburgerinparadise7124

    I love you channel, but I want to point out. You are not right about vigorous psychological debate. There is no vigor anymore. There is paranoia and fear. If you’re an independent thinker, you are up against the monolith of feminist, who just followed the path of least resistance. I’ve been an addiction counselor for a decade and I’m currently mental health focused and trying to get back into a addiction. The field of mental health is not open to discussions. If you disagree even a degree by the most minor people will report you and you lose your license. It’s pretty disgusting how close minded psychologist have become. It’s not surprising, considering many of them are feminist in their ideology . Even a form of therapy called feminist treatment. It basically consist of connecting all of the woman’s problems to the patriarchy, and somehow that is validated, even though it offers no therapeutic benefit.
