NSA, not NASA. Google what is NSA.

That's the problem. People don't fucking read, hence they are so easily fooled and misled. Bingo! They want someone to tell their ego exactly what it wants to hear. The ego wants to be validated in its worldview, not to deeply question it. See, the big difference between what I do with my work is that I try to invalidate every part of your worldview. So it hurts. No matter what you believe, if you listen to my videos I will tell you things that you will hate. Hence I can never be mainstream. Mainstream is all the stuff that validates the ego. Mind candy vs mind veggies Be ware of people who tell you things you want to hear.

My guess is, once Trump is kicked out, sued, and publically shamed -- Trumpism will die out rather quickly and be replaced with some new brand of right-wing movement. Trumpism will look so ugly soon that it will need to be re-branded. But of course the fundamental ideology will still remain the same. Right-wing populism and its delusions are not going away soon. Think of the Tea Party in the Obama days. They basically rebranded themselves as MAGA.

Of course they will try to make their own niche platforms to maintain their bubble of false reality. But, this will not work because all these right-wing platforms will be shunned by mainstream platforms and they will become very niche radicalized places with such extreme views and lack of moderation that they will eventually get shut down. This is what we see with platforms like 4chan and 8chan. Eventually even the hosting companied and payment processing companies will refuse to do biz with them. So will major advertizers. And so they will be relegated to the darkest underbelly of the internets. If there's one thing running this forum for 4 years has taught me it is this: no healthy online community can exist without serious and swift moderation against devilry. Exactly like society at large. A healthy society cannot exist without police. All the major online platforms are learning this lesson very deeply with the destruction they have caused. Facebook, YT, Reddit, Twitter, even 4chan. Operating a massive online platform is a great responsibility akin to having a child. You cannot have a policy of letting your child do whatever the hell they want. In the end, the vast majority of people prefer healthy, well-moderated online platforms that are free of trolls, extremists, cults, and toxic conspriacy theories. In the end, truth wins and falsehoods die. That's the beauty of truth. It always wins eventually.

Lol If you say so

Muscle testing is not a reliable method. It's too prone to confirmation bias and self-deception.

Blue-Yellow is an oxymoron. You probably just aren't familiar enough with the stages yet. If you think you're Blue-Yellow, you're probably Blue but like to think of yourself as higher.

How many? State the actual number.

Privacy rights are important to fight for. But this particular battle has been lost long ago at the business/consumer level. It needs to be waged at the federal level with privacy laws and regulations.

Yeah, well, Thomas Kuhn still didn't understand metaphysical or epistemic relativity in the end. So don't take him too seriously. Kuhn's work is middle school level stuff, really.

Dude, there are so many better alternatives to JP that it's hard to know where to start listing them. Literally walk into any bookstore, ask for the self-help aisle, pick any random self-help book from the shelf and it will be better than listening to JP. The people who are awed by JP have simply never read any self-help authors or teachers.

You realize that your ISP can read all your chats and web history whenever they want?? People have this silly double-standard when it comes to Facebook. Companies have had your data for decades now. This is nothing new. Your bank knows your entire purchase history. And the NSA has back-channel deals with all these companies to see your data.

EVERYONE is a good man, until he's not. There is no such thing as evil men. It's the good ones who create evil when their consciousness lapses. Even Trump is not an evil man. He's just deeply wrapped up in a wounded ego that never received the proper love.

Yes These people are brainwashed by the right-wing populist conspiracy theory alt-media echo-chamber. It's not just fringe stuff though, it's also FoxNews and the like. Basically any right-wing media source in the last 4 years. Including stuff like Tim Pool, Brietbart, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Jordan Peterson, etc. consuming all that trash ideology adds up to mind-cancer. Their sense of reality is so delusional and reactionary that they have lost all sense of decency and common sense. In their minds their actions are fully justified because they legit believe that pedophile communists are taking control of America. That is their worldview in a nutshell. Yes, of course. But Trump was a huge assemblage point for all the worst right-wing tendencies. Trump basically took stages Orange and Blue and appealed to their deepest and lowest fears, insecurities, gripes, hatred, anger, greed, racism, and nationalism. And they swallowed his con hook, line, and sinker because it felt so good for their egos to get validated. It's like dangling red meat before a starved beast. That is the epitome of demagoguery. Hitler did the same thing in 1920's Germany.

If marketing is something that appeals to you, then you are not a creative person to begin with so there's no problem here

Yeah, but I'm tired of explaining the obvious to people who don't even care about truth.

Dude, that will take YEARS of legal battle. No court is just gonna allow a US President to sit in jail awaiting a lengthy and complex trial. You gonna lock him in jail for some angry tweets? No. He can be charged after he leaves. For example, he can still be charged for the Mueller probe crimes.

But how long does that whole process take? Can it be done within a week or two? And what do you think Trump will do during those two weeks where he sees that he's being kicked out? He will go into hardcore attack mode. He will take off the gloves. He will fill his entire cabinet with fascist goons and loyalists and they will fight it as though they were fighting a real coup attempt. Is that worth it?
