Well, it's probably right (seeing all these celebrities going crazy with their endless amount of money) but I don't think starving to death provides a confident state.

[@rcla77771]

You fashion and maintain your state regardless of your circumstances.

[@d.pedroii2940]

however none starves to death calmly or confidently, it's one of the worst ways to die

i loved when a mcdonald commercial popped up right after he said “i have nothing against capitalism”

[@A_Random_Rat]

[@iwannaseethereceipts]

Well I came for some calming background noise and left with a spiritual awakening. And so casually, at that. What a brilliant man!

(There might be ads because of the 3 sec of music). I hope you enjoy this as well, thought Jacob Needleman's ideas were quite profound, too

...What happened to the Ainsley ASMR? :(

[@dragipandeliev9302]

Description says it’s not monetized but video is full of ads. Rule #1 of ASMR is no sudden loud noises. I’d rather watch 5 ads before a video than 1 in the middle

[@NeonExplosion215]

I have 10. Tempted to skip to them then scroll back :(

[@nightwishtech5329]

The video isn’t monetized by this channel. The channel that owns the original video copyright claimed this video and monetized it themselves.

[@Andreazor]

It's the way of KZbin now, KZbin itself throws ads on everything even if channels don't want it. Get yourself an adblocker if you're listening on PC.

[@Playstation1]

This is because KZbin is now forcing every channel even if they're not partnered to have ads

[@thechildfromthevillage]

If you have a KZbin membership you avoid all ads.

Time is our interpretation of movement. Mt Fuji doesn't care how many empires and buildings and land grabs there have been in it's 10,000 year old life. Yet we proceed as if Ancient Rome was 2000 years ago, sooo long. It's all the same. It's remarkable. Just my thoughts 🙂

[@TheAdekrijger]

@@TheBlackbirdii maybe you should stop protecting your own false beliefs you underpin your ego with. Instead of making baseless claims and telling others to look for the bases of those claims. You should try a strong dose of psychedelics maybe that will strip you from your ego and fear of death until then you are a scared pawn who is desperate for a master who confirms your delusions of "meaningfull" struggle because you are too afraid of loss and death. Stop taking life so seriously those who do make it miserable for themselves and everyone they interact with.

It's odd you posted this because this topic is all that has been on my mind in the last several months since the sudden passing of my cousin, my best friend. What does it all mean to exist and then to cease to exist? Why was I born now, and in this body, and to this family, and in this town, and in this country? I swear, it all feels like a simulation. :/

[@acejohnson6225]

I feel the same way.. But all my life I've felt like there's a reason for all of this. This feeling alone makes me believe in a God.

[@pluto2705]

there is one, @@acejohnson6225 . We weren't placed here at random for no reason, there was a plan to things.

[@Sacred-Lotus]

It is indeed a simulation. If time and matter are all “vaporware”, there is no meaning nor significance in any life-form. It just happens and then dis-integrated at some point of “Time”.

[@Almono]

Do you want to know what its like for you when you die ?? Its exactly the same as it was like for you before you were born 👀 Just have fun and be good. Life is so short. This guy is great.

[@Stadtpark90]

22:14 I just read “The immortality key” by Brian Muraresku (watch JRE #1543) and this is what he talks about: dying before you die (via psychedelics ego death; similar to near death experiences) gives that eternal moment: when religion talks about resurrection and eternity and being born again: this is what it really used to talk about; not some eternal life in the great beyond - but about eternity in the here and now; but that message got all watered down and replaced with a placebo. (The book really is about the “pagan continuity hypothesis with a psychedelic twist”: how Christianity and its sacrament evolved out of the Greek Mysteries and their psychedelic spiked wine and spiked (graveyard) beer / drink, and how the church was conducting the first “war on drugs”, removing the psychedelic ingredients from the Eucharist; cracking down on the gnostics, killing the witches / the women with the traditional knowledge about those plants; declaring every plant a poison that has psychoactive properties).

[@the1ntr0vert87]

You my sir have become a philosopher

[@vinanddex]

Needleman is an important philosopher with a lot to say to the distracted and frustrated members of modern society. He is also a documenter of the fourth way teachings of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky. People need to spend more time with his ideas rather than being fodder for tech and advertising companies.

[@terenchion1]

We are All the Same, except some can use their imagination much more vividly, Life is literally what you make it, live in the city be a banker work all the hours to have a nice home car and lifestyle to match, or be a delivery driver and work to make ends meet. Do nothing live on a desert Island and live off the land fish and enjoy humble things.All our imaginations have chosen those routes.. The world is what it is, the way of living in it is up to us..We are no more important than the bee that flies around or the dog that barks or the cow that moos... we all live we all die and that is it.. There is nothing more nothing less.. God is a figment of our imagination. there are around a 1000 of them.. most only believe in one... be like me and believe in none .... Oh Father Christmas is real though..... in my imagination..!! CARPE DIEM.....!!
