Deep meditation in a Vipassana retreat. I strive to be that person every day to at least some extent: full equanimity over all my sensations and a strong resolution into all my sensations. I don’t know much about Buddhism but that day I learned that this thing can indeed lead to not suffering. How can you suffer when all experiences you’re having are not judged, not even subconsciously? You can’t. This was so lifechanging that my username is named after it on HN

13 years ago, reading online how to seduce people. It’s mostly toxic advice, but not all advice is. Without it I am fairly sure that I would still be a virgin, whereas now I’ve enjoyed several long-term relationships. And before some get triggered, I’ve never tricked anyone in bed, nor did I follow the mainstream advice. My cornerstones in this area are: improvisation, playfulness, meditation/spirituality and coming from a frame of not needing/craving sex but preferring it (meditation/Buddhism teaches the distinction well).
