I won't be doing college because of going into debt. My family can't afford that, and I have not had any work experience or been anywhere on my own before to be entirely honest - I have absolutely nothing, and I need to work on getting a work ethic and understanding how to act independent before I can even think about long term goals. I don't know what I want to do with my life and I should have thought about it sooner, but I need to start small rather than get all worked up over college.

Not to mention due to the circumstances in my country aside, going to college is entirely undesirable for me. I'll have to think about another path.

A 5 minute youtube series isn't exactly going to have the highest quality but for what it is I find it quite enjoyable. Just sit back, have fun, and enjoy.

 I could not agree more. 

Of course, I'm tempted to play devil's advocate for a second and say that there also exists mindless worship of doctors and scientists accompanied by ignorance of all the corruption that goes on in the fields of science and medicine...but only for a second.  More importantly, yeah, never cared about celebrity culture. I really feel that they're just milking this drama to get people talking about the Oscars again and I don't care. I, and most other people, have more real problems than ever in recent history to worry about right now. 

Couldn't have said it any better myself. 

I can certainly say I am not at all fond of celebrities. The entire culture itself is defined by toxicity. But, we are all at fault for letting it become that way. 

Be lucky you have pony dreams. You know how deep my dreams get - and I have not had a single pony dream in at least a year. 

@CloudMistDragon

I am definitely glad that you were prepared and I am right there with you in agreement on 2021 and the future out look. I stand beside you in what capacity that I am able to for 2022 and beyond. In these times we need loyal and dependable people. I hope I can be one of them.

@Sunny Man and Izzy Man

I can tell we share similar thoughts on some of the things in this list.

I hope they explore more of what Argyle was like in the show.

@The Recherche

Indeed. I hope we can talk on Discord again soon.

@The Recherche

I understand how you felt, while I am not one who enjoys information being withheld I can understand why you would. I am glad that things have changed for the better. For me personally it definitely has changed for the better. I am out of high school a few months now and I feel so much happier with the various personal choices I made. I don't regret returning to these forums a year ago and I definitely made a mistake in leaving for as long as I did. I also definitely feel as if I've developed a lot more in the past year, I don't believe a lot of the things I once did back then when we talked. 

It is amazing to see you again, it really is. You were one of my best friends, it absolutely sucked when you just left in the manner you did. I always knew you would return. 

You should continue to seek new experiences and new beginnings. 

The lockdowns haven't done anyone any good, nor do they help with anything at all. You truly have nothing to worry about, I hope your friend forgives you and understands but this is something you need to work yourself out of, you can do it. 

Of course they do, I think there are infinite dimensions.

No magic means no windigos. Maybe somehow they died out?

I am so happy you made this as well!

Time to me is just our perception of things. I truly believe that our minds have evolved to perceive it in a linear manner because that is what our evolution allows, while I believe the nature of things is non-linear. That means there is no past present or future, it is all one, it is just our minds interpreting that in a linear frame of mind as that is what our biology and consciousness allows currently.

Wood? How would anyone feel safe on wood? I've never been on a roller coaster though.

Some actually break those limits...

Most definitely.

We like to believe we are free however our bodies have engrained genetic codes that give us certain traits. A template from which our personalities and lives are crafted. You are free to act within those parameters, and of the sum of all experiences you have. The way that I see it as, that is much like a guiding hand. If the future is something that is going to happen it will already happen the way it will based on the sum of all interactions. 
 

I do not consider it pointless though because we are all free to act how we choose and we all can be who we want to be (within limits).

I believe that we make up everything that we see and do in our own minds. 

Part of me believes that as well. 

No doubt in my mind that we do. I believe that we do live in a simulated reality although the way it is created is likely more complex than we can really imagine. I've always had the feeling that a lot of things we see aren't real. I've never felt satisfied with just saying "This is all there is", I'm satisfied with saying "This is an illusion". To say things are simulated by computers to me isn't something I believe in when it comes to the universe. It may all just be a holographic representation of a non-physical concept reflecting off of something else, or it may be a biological computer, based on how the universe resembles the human mind and body. Could go even further, the universe may just be the brain of a higher level entity or something. Who knows.

@PawelS

By non-physical I mean something that isn't able to be quantified by our current understanding of physics. It could also be something entirely beyond the physical plane, consciousness might originate from some trans-dimensional realm we don't have access to. 

I personally believe consciousness is a combination of physical and non-physical sources. Some might call it a soul.

If we think about a universe in our mind, does that count as an observer? If there are unlimited universes out there, wouldn't a thought be enough to make it exist? Or does the thought have to match the exact universe in its entirety? Wait, I just answered my own question I think: If there is a universe out there that is as small as a thought about it, then it does probably exist (if a thought counts as an observer that is).

This is messing with my head

That could very well be the case. If you think it, if you can imagine it, it probably exists somewhere and some place.
