So, if avoiding people and things that are bad and self-loving crazy people full of hate and contradiction then yeah, I am pretending to be above it, who wants to be like that much less be part of the same???? But I am sure you would not be able to grasp how someone in today's world would not wish for exposer to this world or its people. I love the world just not the current cultures effect on people and how the talk and act and judge on a whim for no good reason filled full of anger and rage. it is sad, I avoid it so I am away from it not above it, have fun out there, be careful what you say and how you say it in public who knows what they will do for no good reason, that's fact look at current events and history and you shall see.

@@llamaczech i do know that, and as far as i know, he never denied that fact. he said multiple times that he's horrible in terms of hygiene and his lifestyle is terrible and people should avoid it. while i do get where you are coming from, my personal opinion is that even if you suck at something, but know and understand the subject, you are free to speak/criticize people for that subject. it would be hypocritical imho if he lied about his personal lifestyle and criticized people based on that. but hey, that's just my opinion, and i do get your point edit: spelling

[@llamaczech]

@Никита Вишерский ...but every time he opens his mouth about such things, its something that isn't unhygienic, or at least that unhygienic (being in the literal ocean near each other), or is something that comes along with equipment to clean the thing (a time he criticised someone for exercising at a gym without a shit comes to mind, even though gyms everywhere provide disinfectant spray and wipes to clean everything down after use). In short, his criticisms of hygiene literally stem from not knowing how hygiene works. It isn't a case of "he sucks at it but at least understands it" he just straight up doesn't understand it. You know his joke/catchphrase/ironic statement thing about "why would I wash my hands, my dick is clean"? That didn't start as a joke, he just started trying to be in on the joke when people started memeing on him living like that. Its the whole people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones thing.

[@ismokestorebrno]

The most alarming thing for me about this retreat is the breath-work part.. Because, there is actually some science behind it and the experience can be potentially quite dangerous for an individual. For those interested, i will explain a bit bellow. There is a technique, caled holotropic breathwork. Envisioned and by Stanislav Grof, Czech/American psychiatrist, a controversial figure in psychology. He created this technique after studying and experiencing "psychedelic" states of mind, both of himself, and others... The idea was to achieve similar "dreamlike" state while concious with more individual control over it, with a major contributing factor of set-seting diad. That's whats problematic here, which shall be later explained. Theory aside, now what actually happens to your body while breathing in a certain way for a longer period of time, wile also blindfolded, with powerful ambient music playing? You inhale, exhale, inflate and deflate, focusing on just one thing. 10 to 30 minutes like this. The level of oxygen in your bloodstream gets wild, your heartbeat above 150-180bpm, easily, veins open to the maximum, muscles shaking, exhausted, like you just ran for half an hour. But you're sitting down, or lying even. But thats just what happens to the body. The exces of oxygen, which such activity facilitates can mess with the brain as well, and maybe quite surprisingly, a person can actually achieve a state of mind in some ways quite similar to a psychedelic "trip". One of which, the extreme dependence of set and setting. In the case of the video, the set is just dissastrous in every possible way. And for the setting, that would depend on the individual, but based on the buzzword "connection", i think we can make an educated guess. Erases the whole individual, ironically so. It appears to be aproaching, almost of the border of hypnotic, which is another dreamlike state. Whoever says, this isnt cult, maybe, possibly. But the herd is there and so is the shepherd. If not a cult, definetelly culty.

I appreciate that he said 'assuming you don't have some disorder' when talking about making yourself happy. I'm schizoaffective, and part of that means I suffer from major depression; I recall hearing that all the time growing up - this idea that if I wasn't happy, it was somehow my own fault. I looked everywhere for happiness and couldn't find it, in an era when depression wasn't taken seriously by society and nobody ever thought to offer me antidepressants. Arthur Fleck had it right when he said "the worst part about being mentally ill, is everyone expecting you to behave like you're not" - it is devastating to one's self image to be unable to feel happiness and have everyone tell you that it's you're fault you're always miserable and you should just choose to feel better.

@@ao05851 thats not what he's saying. He's saying that everything in your own mind is still your own fault, disorder or no. The best course of action is to get help for it and not accept that this is how things just are going to be. When people have disorders they cannot help fighting by themselves, and they try all these things, most of the time it leads to drugs and more and more wild ways to cope with feelings and thoughts they have no way to control. That is why there is a whole medicl community and chemical changing prescriptions in order to fight this stuff. its a constantly evolving issue that changes sometimes by the day, so being pushed in the right direction is always a good idea...but a place like this where all they do is foist bs on you and do psuedo therapy then charge 10k for just the information is literally what these fitness and money gurus do all day everyday. it's bs and harmful.

For Mae, they cant change being schizophrenia which makes it harder for them to make depression go away.

Honestly I think my mother is a narcissist but tries her best to be a good person and is nice to everybody, but she is just missing that.. something. Maybe I am too, I feel for her tho, yes the narcissism comes out but she has subconsciously guided it to only express itself sideways - she doesn’t directly be rude or mean or manipulate anyone. But even trying her absolute best you might feel that she dislikes you from her mannerisms, expressions and overall nature. Yet all the while looking for your approval, not leaving any space for herself to exist, except the whole interaction feels like it’s geared towards trying to make her feel comfortable. It’s like she just can’t zoom out to a big enough picture to see that all her words and emotions towards others comes from a place of selfishness… it’s sad really

Honestly fucking hate it too. It's usually 3 to 4 mins max into meeting someone when they ask you that question. Also one of the first things someone judges or labels you on. Alas, the world we live in defines you by that.

[@chriscampbell4857]

I don't see a problem with that at all. When you don't know anything about someone, it's a quick way to get an idea of what they like and spend their time doing, and what they are (presumably) good at. You could ask them the same in three separate questions, but why? I'm a computer programmer btw. ah damn it.... now I'm "limited and stale".

Money cannot replace everything. There are a few things money will never buy. But many of the people that involved with money so much have lost it. This is the corruption that alot of money can create.

If you ever need coaching for an actor on how to express horror, look no further. Assmon shows the true horror expression, one that blends confusion, anxiety, horror, disdain, and so much more. Its a journey that he takes us as things develop on the screen and we can appreciate as he emotes. What a journey.

Or to have to pay $4 grand only to have a "safe" place where you can be / or discover yourself. Indifferent of the kind of help, valid or not, this festival is providing, it should be available outside of the label of what kind of money the people makes.

The power of suggestion and the need to fit in or be special can make people do ANYTHING, specially for the narcissistic type or people who have suffered abuse or neglect. All of these "breathing techniques", doing dances or poses (ie. yoga) and thinking it can "heal" you it's all pseudoscience bullshit, but in the mind of these people, they believe it's working so much, that in some cases it actually does work. This is what that guru scam artist said but in new age babble. It's pure willpower and pretending so much until the point you actually believe it yourself is reached.

[@DKZK21]

34:56 I think this sort of guilt or insecurity that comes from being very successful/wealthy has less to do with having done "evil" shit to achieve it and more to do with just how much of that success is also attributable to luck, circumstance, and all sorts of other factors that are entirely out of their control. A ton of extremely successful people are enamored with the idea of being self-made, it becomes part of their identity.

[@cosmicllama6910]

Exactly, the vast majority of people like this had wealthy parents or grandparents, or their family had connections. In most cases they got some kind of support along the way that most people don't get. Like a girl whose parents gave her a condo to rent out for extra income, telling people "If I could pay off my student debt, anybody can!"

[@prismaticbeetle3194]

God gives u wealth or he does not... it is 100% out of our control, and wealth is not always a blessing in my faith anyways

[@NitBeanTheMachine]

@@cosmicllama6910 "Exactly, the vast majority of people like this had wealthy parents or grandparents" Not really, wealth and income are mostly factors of intelligence, and non-shared environment. Inheritance has little to do with it on average. Certainly there can be some people where that is the case, but it's not the norm.

[@cosmicllama6910]

@@NitBeanTheMachine being self made is the exception. Most of them are like Musk, celebrated when really he just inherited an emerald mine. I would be celebrated for no good reason too if my parents were rich enough, I could even be in and out of rehab and people would still treat me like a human being, unlike poor people who are treated as subhuman when they touch drugs.

[@NitBeanTheMachine]

@@cosmicllama6910 I mean most 'rich' people are not musk, they aren't billionaires, they're just people who save up money over time and accumulate assets. Again, if you analyze adopted kids, there's no correlation between their wealth and the wealth of their adopted family, but there *is* correlation to their biological family. Wealth is mostly genes + luck that is outside your home.
