man i heard the new james bond movie is supposed to be really weird

don't want to derail the thread but I have friends who have gotten really into AA over the past couple years and they are now moving closer and closer to shit like this

it's basically a pyramid scheme that doesn't help you but helps the group, then. i know plenty of people here in l.a. (which is admittedly perhaps more obnoxious about it and here it's more culty perhaps) who have experienced it and the ones who are acolytes are, of course, super into it (which is stupid imo) and the ones who have friends who have gone that route share similar tales of them changing for the worse w/r/t being a spokesperson or recruiter waaaaay too often.

why is the language of these things so technical and so meaningless? is it trying to sound scientific? it bothers me so much!

overcoming brain injury

Read this as overcomBing brain injury. Which would indeed be mysterious.

Mindvalley seems like taking green advertising to an extreme ... pretty gross to play on peoples' moral instincts to extract $$$million$$$ out of them. tut tut, etc.

^epitaph for this entire movement, if you can effortlessly pretend to be in possession of one meaningless skill why not 20, quantum jumping is kinda the ultimate cause u just beg the universe to bestow expertise upon you

just watched the vid, and sorry dudes but I actually kind of think if its just about thinking something dumb so you can try and make art that's fine kind of?

But then when it comes to basking in the monetization of everything and spreading the horrible thought process that led you to make what you've made then it becomes indefensible?
