The dirty truth is that there are thousands of states and stages of woke consciousness, way more than any model describes, and they cannot be mapped in 1 or even 2 dimensions. There exist states of consciousness which sit completely outside and beyond the 10 Ox pics. And virtually no human knows or understands these rare states. The truth is that we don't have any accurate maps or models of consciousness yet. The maps available today are like a 1st grade kid's crayon drawing of the Earth.

The vast majority of spiritual teachers are coasting on innate spiritual talent that they were born with thanks to the right genetics and so forth. Of course they never tell their students this because it undermines the grift. I don't really have any problem with Tolle. I just find his teachings too weak-sauce and bland. But if you like it, doesn't bother me. There are many different styles of spiritual teaching and they will not all appeal to everyone. If Tolle's teachings really worked then millions of people would be enlightened. And of course that's not the case.

No It's a function of ego.

Anything is possible. I'm just talking about what is likely. But that's the whole problem. He is so immersed in fighting the progressive crusade that he would not surrender it in order to take time off to learn about radical new things. Similar problem with Jordan Peterson or Sam Harris. These people are so invested in their careers that they aren't able to reach higher because their careers would get jeopardized. The hardest pill for Cenk to swallow would be surrendering the progressive crusade. I highly doubt he's willing to do that. I'd say Weinstein is definitely Yellow. He just sometimes reacts to things from a personal, wounded place. He has some shadow to integrate and some personal biases to transcend. But I consider him Yellow.

It would be almost impossible for him now because he's all-in with TYT. The TYT crew and fanbase would eat him alive. They would see it as a betrayal and caving to centrism.

Screws are generally okay. A screw is usually titanium. It's really fillings that are the problem. Although ideally you would replace your metal crowns with all-ceramic ones. But this is not high priority.

Your motivations are backwards. You are asking how you can be a bigger leech. What you should be asking is how you can provide massive value to the world. That is the proper way to get rich. This is counter-intuitive. Your selfishness will backfire on you. It would be wiser to solve your situation through selflessness. I am not saying crypto is bad, I am saying your selfish mindset will keep you poor. So if you really wish to be rich, start thinking seriously about reversing your mindset before it is too late. Notice how you want something for nothing. This is sure way to failure. If I did business this way, I would be broke.

God is infinite creativity. So the closer to God you get...

@Hello from Russia Nukes can barely be built and managed by large countries the size of Iran. No hippie village can build, maintain, or regulate nukes. Nor iPhones. @aurum I think you have a good point that the future will require both scaling up and down. But on the issue of agriculture I think that will be scaled up even more, not down. I don't buy the idea that the Earth is running out of resources. I think the Earth can sustain 100+ billion people. We just need to use the resources wiser. There is no reason why we can't do sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture at mass scale. It's just that capitalism doesn't incentivize such things. Yet.

Cenk is running up against the limits of stage Green.

You can search specific sites via google like so: site:actualized.org/insights/ xxxxxxx Replace xxxxxx with your search term. You're not gonna create a better search than google's. Just learn to use it properly.

@aurum I'm saying that the solutions these eco-villages test and create are not solutions that actually address our problems as they exist at the global level. And the village level will never work at the global level. What I'm saying is, ceating one of these cool eco-villages is actually a cop out from solving the really big problems. The world is not going to scale down, it's going to scale up. These villages assume the world will scale down to their level. But a group of villages cannot build iPhones or manage nukes.

@Hardkill Cenk's heart is in the right place but he's a bit too full of himself and blind to a higher reality.

Yeah, it's hard to find DMSA. That website is one of the best sources for it. Their shipping is not so great during Covid. But their DMSA is pure and excellent. You should get the 100mg pills.

Not realistic. When bodybuilders add muscle, they also gain fat. Then they do special cutting phases where they shed the fat while keeping the muscle but not gaining more muscle. And usually they use steroids to do that because you would normally lose muscle too. Gaining muscle requires eating a lot. Eliminate refined carbs and sugars to reduce fat. And do cardio.

Even that is not so easy to find in most places during the day. You are going to waste more time looking for the girl than talking to her. It is much more efficient to just to the mall for 3 hours on the weekend and do all your approaches back to back. You will also build up a nice momentum that way. You have to be pretty skilled to just cold-open a random girl you see walking past you as you're going about your day. Most guys will never muster the balls to seize that opportunity. They will just talk themselves out of it. It takes a lot of approaching to get confident enough to the point where you can seize such a spontaneous occurrence. It will take you 30 minutes just to psych yourself up do it unless you are experienced. It's much easier to talk about approaching than actually doing it.

As someone who developed and launched many sites, I can tell you one thing for sure: no matter what kind of site you build, no matter how great it is, it will not make you any money without you bending over backwards for years to make it bring in money. Coding the site is the easiest part of the job. It's so easy it doesn't even deserve much worry. The real problem is how to make it popular. Making a site that brings in $10k/month is much more challenging than you imagine. I have achieved it in the past, but you don't even want to know the kind of manipulations and money that I had to invest to make that happen. And the internet today is way more competitive than it was 10 years ago when I did those things. And most of my sites failed entirely, bringing in zero. As a rule of thumb, the realities of business are 10x to 100x harder than you first imagine. That's not say you shouldn't try. Just have very sober expectations for the work involved.

Sorry, not buying it. It's pipe dreams, not real systems thinking.

Stage Orange self-help is very common and popular because that's the center of gravity of our culture right now. It suffers from all the problems that stage Orange suffers from when taken too far.

@Preety_India Be mindful of your lack of nuance.

You have an unholistic view of holistic medicine. True holism does not exclude the material solutions. I was pointing out the double standards and bias of your example. It is silly that you strawman holistic healthcare as "a faith healer". That would be like me strawmanning a hospital as a money-hungry capitalist scheme. Your notion of holism is, ironically, unholistic. True holism would not exclude the good parts of western medicine.

@diamondpenguin That's some fine shadow work right there.

It's not just because of that. The problem is deeper. The problem is the closedminded, materialistic, non-holistic way what western medicine approaches health. If you watched this week's episode on Holism, you'd know what health is actually impossible without holism. It isn't so clear which is more full of shit. They are both full of shit in their unique ways. When you get a serious illness you'll gain a new appreciation for how full of shit western doctors tend to be. And I'd like to see an open heart surgeon heal someone's depression or auto-immunity.

Only after I did it myself by leaving all the doctors behind. If I was listening to my conventional doctors I would be fucked. And still, the diagnosis I got is very limited and partial and is not sufficient to give a clear picture of the root cause or how to cure it.

For serious detox you'd have to do 20 to 50 rounds. Depends on how toxic you are. I've done around 20 rounds and still feel I need to do that much more. And I never had metal filings. If you had metal filings removed you'll need to do a lot of rounds, which will takes a couple of years at least.
