Yeah I’m aware, and to break the loop, the first step is understanding what creates the loop. There are external forces like those imposed upon North Korean citizens (though most of us do choose our country and such details/circumstances before birth), but it is often an internal force that we impose on ourselves or bind upon ourselves. If internal, it’s most likely a matter of remaining in a “comfort zone” of sorts. The comfort zone is where stability is guaranteed, but it remains cyclical because it can only repeat events which you are comfortable with, and shut out events with which you are not. Therefore, to dissolve the looping mechanism we have to step outside of the comfort zone, even if stability isn’t guaranteed. The comfort zone is so enticing due to a guaranteed stability or preparedness for any situation, but you can choose to be ready for things you aren’t ready for, if that makes sense. Spontaneous (but not rash) actions, trying new things, deep thinking for oneself rather than allowing others to think for you, disabling repetitive automatic thoughts/actions, things such as these will bring one out of the comfort zone and allow them to dissolve their cycle or loop.
That’s the basis to breaking free, and naturally more things will follow once you start to break free from it.

I can’t figure out if this world is more AR or VR… do you have any ideas?

It’s holographic, so it’s hard to compare it to either of those technologies. The physical Universe is essentially made up of an inconceivable amount of fibrations, particularly Hopf fibrations, which allow for a holographic projection onto 3D planes of existence. It can also be thought of as holographic particles with a wave-based relationship. In other words, the subatomic particles of this Universe are related by a “wave function” that creates/determines things like relative distance, mass, and more… It would get potentially too complicated to go fully into detail about it here but that’s kinda the basis of it. The bottom line is it’s a holographic simulation of sorts, that allows for density and physicality. Light is one important component for allowing this to be possible. The bending and gridding of light in space induces density (simplest example: black holes) and the more light is criss-crossed over itself, the denser the object made of it gets. It’s difficult to see what I mean without certain experiences though…

Cambodia is very safe, if you go to the right city. You can buy a 6 month visa for 130USD. A year is closer to 300USD.

I already replied via DM about this, but I’ll reply here too. I don’t know too much about Cambodia at all or how the lifestyle will work (if there’s convenience stores, if most places come with wifi, average prices for food, if there are places open at night or 24 hours so I can eat, etc.)
However it does sound like a nice policy after some quick research about the visa extension. This is the first country I’ve seen where you can extend a visa indefinitely without having to work there and without having to leave. I like that, so it’s on my radar now and I’ll have to research more about it. As it stands now though, the instant fee to even enter the country, on top of expected food/stay costs, makes it a choice which isn’t possible for me at this time. It would be a good place if I had at least a small income of like USD$500 per month or so.

I eat about of kilo of Basil every day, or yardbeans… with pandan noodles. Ive never felt better…

Wow 😭 I don’t mind that kind of food but I hope I’d be able to cheaply eat more delicious things there too 😅

Go hang out with the homeless guys at longshan temple. There are some crazies out there but there’s also some that are totally chill. They know where to get free food, make friends with them. My understanding is they get some food from the temple and a social services building that is nearby. Either way they were willing to give me free food just because I sat down next to them to drink some bubble tea.

Dang, I was just around that place two days ago when I got lost trying to find https://maps.app.goo.gl/rWKxUSB69g8Xae9JA
I will try to go there again, hopefully won’t get lost this time… and I’m definitely doing it at a dark time of evening because getting lost in the heat can bring about hopelessness… 🥲
