Drugs are the opposite of cool. The more into it you are the more cringe it is. Yes, even caffeine, alcohol, and sugar. Moderation is a virtue.

Meditation. Close your eyes, breathe normally, relax your body, and calm your mind. I go for a minute to an hour depending on things.
You answered your own question. It means different things to different people at different times. To know what people mean you must use your basic language comprehension skills or ask them for clarification.
No. In my culture it’s expected that we get help until about age 18 and then you’re on your own. It’s a sink or swim strategy. In my opinion this is short-sighted and we should be investing into the success of our adult sons and daughters and working together to ensure the best outcomes possible.
Approval voting. Simplicity is essential in my opinion. You can read more about it here. https://www.rangevoting.org/RangeVoting.html
You can choose whatever process you like. When a market exists then you’re still competing with the market. If a market doesn’t exist then there’s no competition. Either way it doesn’t matter what process you choose.
Some people say yes, some say no. Christians, agnostics, and atheists on all sides. I hope that answers your question.
Immigration. In 20 years Texas has changed from 70% white Americans to 50%. In 30 years all of America has changed from 80% to 60%.
Life finds a way to end itself. There’s an ongoing mass extinction event caused by humans. Completely preventable by the way. But we do not prevent it.
Realistically you make choices and say no to many things so that you have the time and energy to spend on the few things you care more about.
Notice what’s causing the stress and do something to help. Sometimes through meditation, breathing, stretching, exercise, sex, massage, good food, water, sleep, fresh air, sunlight, or some combination. In general you can change your environment or change your mind.
Health and happiness for myself and everybody here with me. I hope everyone’s dreams come true and they find happiness too.
Ignore what everyone on the internet says. They are wrong. Eat what you want. Just make sure everybody participating is comfortable. If you’re not sure then ask them directly and listen to what they say.
There’s no agreed threshold. Everything we do in life requires some risk, like driving a car or using the stairs. Some safe things are bad for you and some risky things are good for you.
The word consciousness confuses everybody. Just ask yourself what the rock is aware of. The more aware something is, like better eyes or a better brain, the more conscious it is. That’s why when you sleep you are less conscious than when you are awake but still more conscious than a rock.
Because a man tends to be stronger, faster, and more athletic than a woman of the same weight. It won’t work for football, track, or soccer.
You make your life what you want. Figure out what you want, health, happiness, love, family, something, maybe all of the above. Then you go and get it. You need to do this yourself. Help yourself.
Maybe all language, words, and sentences, and the meaning behind everything we share are just social constructs?
We already use them. Any interface between a brain and computer is a BCI. But as for a futuristic brain implant – absolutely not. We need to go the opposite direction and return to nature.
I used to watch favorite TV shows, long series, and try sleeping as early as possible. Watching shows is so passive and easy that it ends up working well. It’s really important to have fun and get good sleep, so I suggest focusing on that until you figure it out.
