I understand your point, but in my experience it just isn't worth it. I have particular tastes which are difficult to please. Most people are not as picky as me. I am so picky that it's hard to find anything good. I am that way not just about music, I am that way about women, and many other things. I have extremely high standards. That's why my work is what it is. Finding things that satisfy me is very hard. So I pay a higher exploration cost than most people.

Look, eventually everyone has to draw a line somewhere. Are you open to eating a cockroach omelet? Why are you so closedminded? Maybe you'll like it. Eventually you reach a point in life where you understand yourself well enough that you know what you like and don't like. If you wish to pursue a life of endless openmindedness and experimentation, go for it! But don't expect others to follow you. Sure, there is a tradeoff, cost/benefit to exploration of new territory. That will always be the case. The cost is you will have to suffer through a lot of shitty music. If you want to pay that cost, go for it. I don't understand how the framework you want is different from my position. The highest framework would be to see the absolute beauty in everything. But I'm not sure that's what you're asking for. There is an epic set of books about how to develop an objective aesthetics beyond post-modernism. It's called The Nature Of Order. https://amzn.to/3Fbvvo8 (aff link) That's what I think you're asking for.

Why? How silly.

I am extremely picky with music. I will not listen to anything unless I love it. And that's a high bar to clear. I am open to listening to any song for 10-20 seconds in the middle. If I don't love it, I move on. Life is too short for listening to mediocre music.

My taste is not limited by genre. But there are some genres I generally dislike, not strictly due to them being bad, but just not my style. For example I will never like heavy metal or dubstep, no matter how well made it is. I also just don't care for classical music. Obviously classical has a lot of taste and art in it. But just too dry and boring for me. It's like watching nuns fuck. I rarely like rock. The harder the rock, the worse it gets for me. Softer rock is better. I am very sensitive to harsh grating sounds. I hate dubstep.

I agree that gold will not crash 50%. More like 10-20%. But in a saving account you are guaranteed 4%. I would rather get a guaranteed 4% than lose 15%. The problem is that all investments have so much downside and little upside right now. It's a very bad ratio.

The whole point of democracy is that foolish people can hand it away to a dictator. "A republic. If you can keep it." -- Ben Franklin Democracy is easily abused by bad faith actors who have no shame, in the same way that a good woman can be abused by an Andrew Tate. Even if Trump waa democratically elected he is still anti-democracy. There is no contradiction. Just like you can hire a school teacher who is a child rapist.

He is seriously biased and not objective. There is a ton ofindie news about Ukraine that is good and not anti-Ukraine. You are in a self-created echochamber.

Look, I respect Sadhguru himself. He is a serious man. But I have also seen his orbiter voulenteers in person. His organization is very culty. Not that they are doing evil things, but they literally worship him and do not think for themselves. This is a problem. So I poke fun of it. Typical spirituality is parroting things. I consider every so-called spiritual person a fake until proven otherwise. Not the other way around. I am done assuming people know anything. A spiritual person doesn't know how to tie his shoelaces until I see him do it. -

Obviously right-wing populism is just a grift for the powerful to do business as usual, but with zero checks and balances. And a real redistribution of power and wealth is not even on the table. The left loses and isn't popular precisely because being truly progressive requires not siding with power. Progressives don't have power because power isn't freely given, it must be grabbed.

Bitcoin will crash first. Bitcoin always crashes first cause it's all hot air with no ground. If the market crashes, real estate will go down too. Basically everything will drop in sync. There won't be a safe place to stand but cash. And even cash may be hit hard by inflation. The whole point is no one will be safe. We will all suffer for this idiocy.

Why would you assume that? These podcast guests do circuits. It's a well-oiled cash machine. Theo Von has people who just book guests for him, and Sadhguru has his cult monkeys who book all his public events. It's just business. You are attaching some spiritual meaning to it. But yes, most spiritual people are fools and have the political intelligence of mentally disabled children. This is not news any more. -
@ExploringReality Cash savings is oddly enough the safest store of value right now. Anything else you put it into is likely to crash 25-50%. There will be a huge liquidity shortage so cash will be king. Everyone will run to cash out, all at the same time as the finacial bloodbath starts.
