  1. Intelligence without wisdom is not true intelligence. We have a severe lack of intelligence within politics and even science.
  2. You have no idea and you're just gambling. Be careful playing markets. It could just as easily follow a logarithmic scale down to zero.
  3. That is precisely why 99% of people will never wake up. The pursuit of happiness and relief from suffering is the biggest ego game of all. If you want to be serious, stop caring about happiness and suffering.
  4. The current Dem party is aligned with many social dem policies. Corporate interests are a strong influence in any major party and they will continue to be until we pass a Constitution Amendment banning money in politics. The Dem party just needs more progressive and non-corporate social dem voices. We don't need a new fringe party. Just elect more folks like AoC and slowly take the party over from the inside.
  5. Yes, but that's not why Truth should be pursued. That's too selfish and petty a reason. As if escaping suffering is the most important thing in the Universe. Haha!
  6. Progressives have to be very careful how they frame themselves because the lower stages will deliberately seek to misunderstand and demonize new ideas. Biden was able to win because the socialist label simply could not be reasonably stuck to him. Only a total idiot would believe that Biden is a socialist.
  7. Thanks Of course the human body/mind is the ultimate bottleneck here. We can only expect so much from being in this form we're in. A human is not designed to understand all of Infinity. We should consider ourselves lucky that we were born humans and not donkeys.
  8. I don't like this negative framing. To me the pursuit of Truth is the most positive thing. It has nothing to do with suffering.
  9. You mean confederate flag or actual KKK?
  10. My DMT trips are deeper than my 5-MeO trips. Yeah, you took too much and traumatized yourself. Turtles win the race. Slow and steady.
  11. No The desire for Truth comes from God. There is more than one way to awaken. You can awaken through deep suffering, I just don't recommend it.
  12. People do not vote on policy. I think Sanders would have been so demonzied as a socialist he would have lost. Progressives are in denial about this.
  13. Defunding police was a very stupid progressive move. They are certainly out of touch with average folk on that issue.
  14. My pleasure. But you're still a long way away from deconstructing science.
  15. Lol Joe Rogan presents no existential threat to Sean Carroll. I do. After talking to me, Sean will be in a depression for a month curled up in a fetal position in the corner of his CalTech office.
  16. They are wrong in the say way that pissing into the wind is wrong. You yourself will gripe at the suffering created by it. If you enjoy suffering from your own self-imposed limitations, by all means go for it. No, not all imaginations are equally valid. Some are much more toxic, dysfunctional, and delusional than others.
  17. Yes, this is what basic LoA is about. By using your mind properly you can use your imagination to bootstrap material success. Every successful person does it, whether they do it consciously or unconsciously. For example, the way I created Actualized.org is by visualizing it a lot and visualizing myself in a role where I have all this understanding to share with people. And after years of work, here it is. People can laugh, but I literally materialized Actualized.org into existence.
  18. @Preety_India Harms the lungs. Watch out for vape carts. Oil pipe is the simplest and most direct method. It's really easy once you get the hang of it.
  19. Nonsense and fearmongering. Psychedelics do exactly the opposite. They increase your capacity for natural insights and they raise your baseline state. Can they make you lazy? Yes, because compared to practices like meditation, psychedelics are so much stronger that you will be disappointed with meditation. It's hard to convince yourself to invest 20 years into meditation once you've tried something like DMT.
  20. Best thing I've found for vaping is a simple glass oil/meth pipe and blow torch.
