Really sorry to disagree again but as far as I know I have no my bio written in Russian. So, some girl shares my bio in Russian sounds
dubious.

Are you sure you remember well? (Memory problem/question again, but can't avoid it).
You are misprojecting that, I want to show you I am better than commoner ppl... what?! You serioisly think so?!
Honestly, to me, looks/sounds something like that. Because in the reality you achieved more than the guys around your age (your generation) and you started to think that even in a place where we discuss omnilogy problems (including science, philosophy, etc.) all of us are under your knowledge. You, that was so surprising, even explained to us that Buddha was born B. C. How you will feel if I explain to you something like that: "可能你不知道,但是我告诉你:北京是中国的首都。你肯定会感到惊讶的。" Telling me that Buddha was born centuries before Jesus equals I am telling you (as a Chinese) that "Beijing is the capital of China."
And yeah, I am really surprised that you were practicing and being with a professor, but you still think Buddhism is so bad.
I was being too young and believed without the necessary proves, just because I was thinking that East Asians are the smartest people in the world and if there are so many Buddhists in East Asia, then it can't be wrong... And I was so wrong... The practicing and not only one professor (there were at least 3, who taught us about the Buddhism from different perspectives -- as a religion, as a philosophy, as history of the philosophy and so on) were real. "So bad" isn't what I said. I am saying that:
- If you want to ascend and becoming a noncel, becoming a true Buddhist is counter-productive and will lead you to a volcel status, which is bad for sure, for those incels who want to be noncels, not to become volcels. It's like wanting to be rich. If you want to make money, you need ways that will help you to get rich, not ways that will teach you how to be voluntarily poor.
- Exactly because I accumulated a lot of practice, knowledge and meta-Buddhist view, I could make the conclusion that the Buddhism may have some better sides compared to many other religions but it's not worthy compared with the nowadays science. What I believe now is only proven, true, real facts and I, as a critical and reasonable elder man, can't blindly believe dubious and totally unproven religious idealistic constructs like Karma, Samsara and other fabrications (捏造的 stuff, if I can use a Chinese term.)
I have got enough self-respect to avoid being gullible. Why are
you (
a man, who is targeting even IQ research, further mathematics /进阶数学/ and Harvard University!!!) so gullible?! You're demonstrating high level of
gullibility ("Classes of people especially vulnerable to exploitation due to gullibility include children, the elderly, and the developmentally disabled."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullibility). You're not a kid anymore, you're not an old man and even you had/have some psychological issues, you're not a retard. So, how it comes an IQ researcher, a further math fan and a Harvard oriented adult to have got "the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence." (from the same source mentioned above).
If you really knew about emptiness etc., you shoulda not thought Buddhism was 'pessimistic', 'suppressive', etc.,
For the first time we learned about the so-called "Emptiness" in 1994! I remembered it's original name (Shunyata, i. e. "Śūnyatā") and the etymology which is "nothing", "zero"! And these months it even was useful for my Khmer learning, where the "0" ("zero") is ០ (and is pronunciation is very close to the Indian one):
Value Khmer Word Form IPA UNGEGN GD ALA-LC Notes
0 ០ សូន្យ [soːn] sony souny sūny From Sanskrit śūnya
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_numerals So, again, stop thinking that
I (one of the first Bulgarian Buddhists and one who learned Buddhism from the best philosophers in South-East Europe) don't know about the "Emptiness".
So? The different Buddhist branches have different understanding of it. How it makes you optimistic and free? You must give up the natural (omnivore) diet, you have to suppress your sexuality, you have to forget about many things in the social sphere. How it's not suppressing? Can't you see the life of the real Buddhists? SO MANY SELF-LIMITATIONS (even more than in the Abrahamic religions!) and still, because you "just believe", it's "the best". With the same "success" you can tell me how true are the houris (In Islam, a houri (English plural houris, /ˈhʊəriz/; from Arabic: حُـورِيَّـة ,حُورِيّ, romanized: ḥūriyy, ḥūrīya), is a woman with beautiful eyes who is described as a reward for the faithful Muslim men in paradise.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HouriThis usually happens, particularly in the modern society where nearly everyone is 'attached' to everything, thus you can see lots of people doing crazy things
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, wait, wait, wait! One of the crazy things is just this (
the core of many problems) that you are taking something as a face value without any proof! You believe gullibly in Buddhist fabrications, others -- in Islamic or Christian... some even believe in the greatness of Xi Jinping! And the common here is that all of you DON'T QUESTION your believes at all!
And the people are "attached" because they have no choice usually. For example, you as a potential capitalist, don't need to worry about money, but most of the people have to! And this "attached" status is the only way for them (if they don't want to become beggars like many of your favorite monks). It's very easy to be "unattached" when you have it all, right?
for ex, Xi is trying all means to keep his own supremacy... the Brazilian has done close to one hundred plastic surgeries, and... my relatives fought with my father over the take-over of my grandma's ownship of her areas...
You're giving examples with more or less abnormal people. This type of "attachment" is too much. But you can't negate the normal attachment like: willing to have a healthier body, willing to have a better house, willing to have a safer life, willing to move to a better place... Without all these "attachments" you're just "living and waiting to die" (and, ah yes, believing that you're becoming something special like an arhat until death comes).
But I shoulda been opener, so that I can allow others to choose other 'Dharmas' to happiness... I am sorry for my previous 'attachment' to Buddha-Dharma.
It's/was nearly close to the proselytism (劝诱改宗). You're really too deep in all these fabricated (proof-less) categories, constructs and all this idealism is seriously misleading the incels to ascend and the poor people to do their best to get a better life (poorcels, included).
Many people are inept for Buddhism because of their lack of 'Buddha-Indriya'(佛根)...
Many people are just not willing to waste time and money for this. If you're busy and poor (a working poor like many Chinese and others nowadays) if you start to invest money and time for fabrications you'll end up as an even bigger loser than what you're (as a working poor or as a
precariat). I know you're far, far away from such future because you're one of the 1%-5% in the world but... most of us (even people with bachelor and master degrees like many here) aren't so okay financially, so we have no wish to drop into scams like religions and to donate our last money to some "guru", "preacher", etc. We're realistic enough and old enough to follow only proven ways, proven truths.
Well I am just a new learner so I don't even know how to cultivate it and persuade one person into Buddhism(Buddhism calls it 'restoring', but Buddhism also claims not everyone has the 'Indriya' to be able to be 'restored').
Oh, you're developing also a
savior complex?!

Check it, in case you don't know it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savior_complexWhat I am feeling about you now is that for some reason you don't admit everything is 'empty', thus u think Buddhism is pessimistic and inactive
Why I have to admit something that nobody prove? Because someone said so?! Do you really make difference between a said thing and a fact?
You don't admit everything is 'impermanent', thus you were surprised by my choice of learning Buddhism, seemingly just being coping with having given up ascending to you
Oh, how much wrong someone can be?! As a dialectical materialist and a person who strictly follows the science, I know that everything is impermanent. There is progress and regress, things change. And I am not surprised of your choice that much. I am surprised of the combination: "I like Psychometrics and Further math, and I want to be in Harvard" + "Now, let me teach you how the fabrications of the religion will improve your life!"
You don't admit 'dukkha' is not real happiness so you think Buddhism is suppressive...
If you want to admit that dukkha is not real, go now to Harbin, where is -18°C, take off your clothes, sleep only one night outside (to feel what's like to be poor, homeless and cold!) and then tell me again how "unreal" is it.
The only thing that distinguishes you from him are that he didn't even have no Guru lol.
The lol-ling is that a person who wants to be a scientist (Psychometrics, Further mats, Harvard, etc.) become believing gurus and being a victim of "There are no proves, but I believe." (You're the Second Tertullian

. You know him? In case you don't, take a look
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertullian (I hope this time won't be like "Yes, you gave me, but I didn't follow, so I'll write whatever...") He is the one who said "
Credo quia absurdum. (I believe because it is absurd.) ")

I think a further discussion is not useful so, yes, lock the topic.
