Stress doesn't exist? Hundreds of thousands of people have used the site and I receive tons of messages from people it has helped with not only stress but also things like grief, C-PTSD, etc. But thanks for sharing your feedback.
Do you have a background in clinical psychology, or any proof that what you're doing has any long term beneficial effects?

What am I meant to think the experience of providing IT support shares with that of the bodhisattva nature, such that quoting the ever tiresome Watts at paragraph length is meant to aid understanding of either? It's just a lot of self-aggrandizing humblebragging nonsense, "look whose name I drop and you don't." Good grief, in this millennium having had an encounter with Watts doesn't even really qualify anyone as bei…
Your reading comprehension seems to be lacking. Maybe you should read more books? What I meant to convey, seven years ago , when writing that comment making the analogy to Zen Buddhism (as described by Alan Watts at least) was that there are those who come to understand technology and immediately go off and despise and belittle all the people who don’t understand it. There are also those who come to understand techno…

Studies of what? Bunch of teenagers that are already hooked on short-form content, whose attention span is non-existent?
You're arguing with a grifter, you know. Best case he's going to crib what you say to sound smart. Why help?

When I’m tired or uninspired I notice laughter gives me energy

#240I've been collecting videos for years that make me shed tears. I don't easily shed tears if it feels a little too manufactured. Usually what works best for me is just seeing actual genuine unprompted emotion, though sad scenarios without any emotion can do it if the sentimentality is balanced well. Tried maybe 5-6 videos on the site and none of them worked. :/ Just watched one of my old videos, boom, instant tears. D…
Sorry it didn't work for you! Everybody is different and I tried to include a variety of universally tear-inducing videos. But of course it won't work for everyone. I've found it works for about 90% of people. What videos make you cry? Curious to see how they compare. Also, not all the videos on the site are sad. Some are happy tears.
Basically anything absolutely genuine and authentic, especially where I have enough information to understand the context of their emotion so that I can relate better.
