You don't care because you are a far leftist. Normal people care. And they don't like it. You would be wise to read the room rather than telling people they shouldn't care. When a young man walks into a voting booth to cast his first vote, does he care to vote for a party that says it's okay for men to not only be pussies but have pussies? To vote for a party that wants to allocate part of his paycheck to given men pussies? You have lost your sense of reality.

Sure. But to change that you gotta win elections consistently. Good lucking doing that with leftist goofy shit like drag shows for kids.

Reality is not a simulation, it is a stim-you-lation. I am the stim-you-lator

It's not so direct. They probably lost because their vibe is off. The party that says Canadian men need tampons. That's how you lose elections. Canadian men are such pussies they literally need free tampons by law. The jokes write themselves.

But the leftist party lost. Who won is a neo-Lib banker. A Joe Biden type. The Canadian far left lost.

Look at Canadian restrooms. There is your law and policy. It's not as theoretical as you make it sound. If leftists were given power, they would do some goofy shit. They just haven't been given power. Look at the border. Look at immigration. Look at gender in sports. Look at drag shows for kids. Look at BLM riots. Look at drug legalization in Oregon. Look at the national debt. Look at inflation. Look at DEI in university admissions. These are real issues, not just smears.

He does sometimes make insightful points about how ideology works. But as far as the nature of ultimate reality, he is profoundly lost.

It's not made up. The left has bad and wrong policy ideas. I am not partisan so I will call out bad ideas on right and left alike. I don't care if it helps the other side. You are dismissing the legitmate ideological problems that exist on the left. I am not talking just about fringe crazies. I am talking about blindspots within mainstream progressive politics. Those blindspots certainly exist, they are obvious to anyone who isn't all-in on leftism but they are constantly denied by folks like you. You just denied that tampons in mens bathrooms are real. So you are not aware of your own side's positions. The problems I describe are not merely a right-wing boogeyman. They are real. The right does have some legit greivances with the left. It's not all bigotry and propaganda. I am not buying into reactionary narratives. I am doing first principles thinking about politics and collective survival, which reveals serious blindspots in leftist ideology. I would hope you give me more credit than that after all the political analysis I've done. You are equating me with some Joe Rogan airhead position like litterboxes for kids who identify as cats.

Awesome!

@integral Haha! That's great

Blast that through a mega-phone at Emerald

I don't know. I'm making an intuitive guess based on my understanding of Consciousness. If remote viewing was entirely fake there wouldn't be so many people reporting about it. That's my guess. Same thing with UFOs. There's just way too much smoke for there to be no fire. But it's possible it's an elaborate illusion, I can't rule that out. History is basically hearsay unless you have some hard artifact of it. But even if you have a hard artifact there's no guarantee it means what you think it means. Basically, my solution to history is to not take any history too seriously. It's mostly entertaining stories. I wouldn't hinge my worldview on any of them.

You serious?

I never said low consciousness isn't consciousness. Jesus. You are impossible.

@Osaid But you do experience various degrees and states of consciousness throughout your daily life. You are not as conscious when you are sleeping as when you're awake.

I'm pretty sure that if leftists had carte blanche they would put tampon dispensers in men's bathrooms. Not that I personally care. It's just bad vibes and bad optics in terms of winning elections. Just because you are a sane leftist Emerald, doesn't mean there aren't unhinged leftists out there.

Yes! God makes distinctions. You are treating distinctions like they are some evil thing.

No, they are not other. You never see infinite brightness. All the light you see is some degree between zero light (dark) and infinite light. Blink your eyes and you will see degrees of light. No such thing is implied. Low consciousness is still consciousness, as low light is still light. You are confusing yourself with your own strange framings.

Your experience is Absolute Truth.

There can be loose dreams and rigid dreams. Just because it's rigid doesn't mean it's not a dream. A dream can be as rigid as a brick wall. Just because H2O goes from gas to a block of ice does not change the fact that it's the same H20.

There is no contradiction. Lower consciousness does not contradict higher consciousness any more than dark contradicts light.

Dream

But even false things are true (have being). Depends on what you mean by falsehood and truth. But disregarding truth is not going to turn out well for you in the end.
