This isn't true. It's an agenda parading as wisdom.

[@jazzyj2899]

@@CyanCooper what do you think is the agenda?

[@CyanCooper]

@@jazzyj2899 He wants to become the sage of capitalism. If you go on Twitter and say something that disagrees with him, he will block you. He’s not as wise as he wants you to think. That’s why the beginning of this video talks about not holding him accountable for the words, but for the feeling behind them.

[@jazzyj2899]

@@CyanCooper what does he gain from being that sage? I thought he was just sharing his knowledge. i think he admits once in this interview that he has his fault of wanting fame, therefore is no enlightened being himself.

The ego isn't dissolved or removed somehow, you just cease to identify with it. You see that the belief in a separate self was just an illusion. And without self there is no "other", and that's the realisation of non-duality.

All of what you are saying has happened to me, when I stopped smoking weed, drinking I lost a lot of friends. Less people viewed me as fun(girls dudes) it’s similar to losing a job or not having money, you lose but at the same time I gained peace of mind, people can’t understand why I’m less angry less paranoid less inner struggle. 🙂

[@byjmitch]

“The pursuit of pleasure leads to addiction in a time of abundance” Very easy for us to be pleasureful today - drugs, porn, social media, video games, etc. When you consistently use those things, and see the high they bring, it shows you the misery of the everyday world around you If you ask people who drink a lot what events they look forward to the most it’s probably events when they can drink If they go to the event and don’t drink, they’ll probably hate it/the convo/ the people/ etc. Breaking the addiction forces you to break the cycle and face the root problem. In that case, you’re drinking because you need better friends Breaking this cycle is hard because it’s socially unacceptable, and you might need to form new friends, habits, etc,

Did you do it?

[@jorq69420]

@@sp123 Got addicted to black tar. It tore my life, family and finances apart. It took me 8 long months to finally get clean but I did it. Before I got addicted my IQ was at around 105, while I was hooked I was at 98 or so, and afterwards my IQ shot up to 140. I just said this as a joke but it actually works. I'm going to try something else to see if it works several times.

03:26 The podcast discusses practical philosophy for health, wealth, and happiness. 06:52 Happiness is a skill that can be learned and developed. 10:18 Happiness is not a permanent state and cannot be obtained through material possessions. It is a process of self-discovery and understanding. 13:44 Being a happier person and having a peaceful mind can enhance decision-making and increase effectiveness. 17:10 Through pure knowledge, we can achieve happiness and increase our decision-making capability. 20:36 Finding peace from the mind is the ultimate pursuit of happiness. 24:02 The goal is peace, and understanding leads to peace. 27:23 Money and education are societal lies; truth-seeking leads to peace.
