Of course! That's the absurdity of all this. It's like one group of theives angry at another group of theives because they haven't yet stolen as much as them, and their solution is to solve this problem is to steal in a more organized fashion.

I'm starting to regret even teaching you guys about pickup. Bunch of horny devils looking to wreak havoc.

Of course your defintion of maturity is subjective and relative. The problem that academics and scientists have is that they do not admit the subjectivity and relativity of their own work. So they use that label "subjective" in a demeaning sense and apply it to everyone but themselves. Which is the chief delusion. Do not expect scientists or academics to understand or acknowledge such things because they have thoroughly brainwashed themselves as a prerequisite of success in their profression. You can't get a man to understamd a thing when his job depends on him not understanding it. Relative is the concept you're looking for here, not subjective. Human standards of beautiful people are still totally relative to culture and human biology. A dog does not find a super model beautiful. If we changed your genetics and culture what you find beautiful would radically change. And then there is the absolute perspective which is that everything in the Universe is infinitely beautiful. Which is Absolute Truth. But most people are too self-biased to see it. You see, the human or animal mind is simply selecting a narrow, self-biased slice of Infinite Beauty that serves its survival. Ta-da!

And, as I said all along, daytraders are not your friend: You guys are too easily hyped. Learn this lesson for the future. In the future, expect Wall Street to hijack social justice movements to make mad money. That's what you invite them to do when you act like a mindless herd animal. And the only difference between hedge fund managers and daytraders is the amount of money they have.

Way too broad. You have look at the details of every case. Science is very technical by its nature.

@Mason Riggle You begging for a banning if you keep up this nonsense. You have no idea what you are talking about. Be here to learn.

The devil's epistemology rabbit hole:

Lol You don't get it. YOU are all there is. There is no discontinuity in Spira's consciousness because YOU are conscious! For fuck's sake. Your conscious is Absolute and there is no other. You guys are arguing pure delusion. All your arguments are wrong. They are not even within the same plane as Truth.

@Raphael Life is never gonna get too boring. There are entire galaxies to explore and hot tri-titted aliens to bang

@charlie cho Please contain the cringe. Just improve with girls. Don't become a douche.

That is not Biden's fault. That is the just where America is at. He will deal with it as best he can. Obama faced the same obstruction. Republicans don't have any good ideas so all they do is obstruct progress. It's not possible unify a country when 30% of it are deplorable devils with zero shame, integrity, or wisdom, and while right-wing media is frothing them up into a raging frenzy for profit.

No! Wake up!

There's no such thing as birth or death or unconsciousness. You're imagining all of them NOW.

I could retire now and play video games for the rest of my life. It was never about the money.

@Mason Riggle You are as deranged as MAGAs who think Trump was playing 4D chess the whole time.

The day the pandemic ends, you thirsty guys be like:

@Mason Riggle Look, dude, you're way over complicating this. Sam Harris is simply stuck in materialism, rationalism, atheism, realism, dualism, and scientism. Don't get all weird about it.

This is false. You might as well say, for something to matter it must operate from the Christian paradigm. You're giving Sam too much credit.

No, I think it's just a matter of social evolution. The culture has shifted up since 2008. The Overton window has shifted. People get more liberal as society evolves -- even despite MAGA. Conservatives are usually fighting a losing battle. Every liberal president who is elected pushes the envelop forward a bit. Which is why progressives need to calm the fuck down and be patient. It's not going to happen overnight. 8 years of Biden/Kamala will move us considerably forward even if they are neoliberals.

You don't get it. It isn't even true that falling off a cliff is bad. That is your bias. See, by not contemplating such things you have already fallen into falsehood.

It is true that there are tradeoffs between a zoom in vs a zoomed out view. And yes, a scientist would have more technical details. But the scientist would still be wrong and limited in many ways. He wouldn't just be missing spiritual stuff, his science would be hindered too! In the case of Sam Harris he is simply wrong. He's got nothing over Spira. Spira's mind is superior, and if Spira decided to put it to use in some technical field he would do well and be more innovative thanks to his superior mental flexibility. Sam's mind is paradigm locked.

@Hello from Russia That is far more practical than enlightenment for most people.

China's giving it a solid go
