  1. @Timur Re-read what I wrote just above.
  2. If you're a quality guy, she won't lose attraction for you by you being vulnerable. This is a fear of your own you need to transcend. If you're afraid of crying in front of your girl, you totally misunderstand women.
  3. The #1 problem you guys have is you make way too many excuses for staying mediocre. Why do *I* care more about *your* success than you do? Think about it.
  4. You are the only thing that exists. Again, you're not appreciating this. Your mouth is parroting excuses but you're not actually contemplating the nature of your reality.
  5. You will sleep with far less than 2%. 0.1% or 0.01% or 0.001% is more realistic for a newbie. Lol That's not my problem.
  6. I only listened for 1 minute, but he sounds like a rational idiot.
  7. The entire universe ends. You're not appreciating this.
  8. The sick irony is that they are in fact God. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be changed. Hitler was God, and also we removed him from power. Just because something dominant exists doesn't mean we should continue to support it once something better comes along. Capitalism was good while it lasted. Now it's time for something better.
  9. We need more of the 60's, not less. No, I don't have to admit. The right-wing has gone batshit, meanwhile people are getting distracted with silliness like Steven Pinker's censorship. You need to get your priorities straight. A shell game is being played here and the key to this game is not taking your eye off the ball. The elephant in the room is unchecked materialism and capitalism. Not some SJW doing whatever. The left is not going far enough. Not culturally, but actually at where the economic power lies.
  10. Even if you are the hottest hunk on the planet, not every girl will like you and you will not be able to attract every girl. You should aim for maybe 1/3rd of girls liking you. The rest you ignore. Of course girls have different types. If you're not her type then you won't be able to attract her. The way you solve this problem is by talking to 5,000 women.
  11. It amazes me how these Integral Tier 2 guys just dismiss Green as something toxic to quickly skip over. That is such an anti-Integral take, violating the very core lesson of developmental psychology which is that you cannot just skip over stages. And it amazes me that they take a reactionary like JP seriously at all, as though he's not part of a regressive right-wing movement. To even parrot JP's talking point of cultural-marxists and Green as leading to gulgs is already to yield too much ground to idiocy and a fundamental misunderstanding of Spiral Dynamics. These Integral folks are naive about politics and they discount the power of true, healthy, solid Green. American society is nowhere near solid Green. So they cannot be Integral Yellow at any meaningful scale. By to ignore this just feeds right-wing reactionaries and fascists, making Integral people useful enlightened idiots for the right-wing. For solid Green to emerge capitalism just be significantly reformed and the workplace democratized. The key missing piece is that economically America is nowhere near Green even though on cultural issues we are more advanced. It's the economy which matters the most now, not cultural issues. Basically, here's my new rule: any public intellectual who takes JP's political ideas seriously is not serious. You're not a serious intellectual unless you can see through JP's bullshit instantly. We need to have higher standards for public intellectuals. And here's another rule: any public intellectual who takes Trump or the current right-wing movement seriously, is not an intellectual but a joke and his work should simply be dismissed without any further argument. So, it's a very simple litmus test. You can just ask any public intellectual: Does Trump's right-wing movement have any intellectual legitimacy? And if they don't instantly say, NO, you can just laugh them out of the room. And if any public intellectual says they voted for Trump, or will vote for Trump again, they are instantly disqualified as worth listening to other than for purposes of mockery and zoological study.
  12. I got the opposite impression of him. I could easily empathize with his whole philosophy. It makes perfect sense given the era he was born and his overall view of the world. Cheney was simply protecting America. Which is exactly what selfishness is at the collective level. Cheney was acting out of love.
  13. That's exactly what happens with ideology. People blindly follow the ideology without thinking about anything independent for themselves. Ideology is how humans create flocking behavior. Ideology cripples requisite variety and adaptability to changing environmental conditions.
  14. @FlowerNote You are inventing reality as you look at it.
  15. Any attempt to formalize or symbolize Infinity will lead to contradiction. Because Infinity is not finite. Except it is
  16. You are resentful because you have unhealed wounds and you feel hurt. Those wounds requiring confronting, accepting, healing, and forgiving. Go try to do it and see what happens. You weren't taught for the same reasons you aren't teaching the next generation. Don't expect others to do that which you are unwilling to take responsibility for doing yourself. If you don't do it, who will?
  17. @Nak Khid Stop blabbermouthing and go do some contemplation.
  18. @FlowerNote If you are writing a novel, the novel will contain relative truths. Whatever you write at the beginning has to match up with whatever you write at the end. So if you say in the beginning of the novel that a character was born 20 years ago, that's what is true relative to your imagination of it. If later you change it to 10 years, that contradicts your own imaginary narrative. So the key to maintaining a "reality" is to imagine it consistently and stick to your story as if it was real.
  19. That is the problem. You're taking this stuff on as belief, which is actually harmful. There is a huge difference between believing in Buddhism vs actually becoming conscious that you are God/Love. Nihilism is belief and ego based. God is Love and passion. Realizing that everything is imaginary should heighten your passion, not lessen it. It's awesome to know that reality is a dream. This is the best possible news! You should want reality to be mystical rather than material. Materialism is boring and bleak. Mysticism is awesome and magical. What better news could you receive than that EVERYTHING is imaginary! Think about it.
  20. It's amusing when people who use and glorify violence then act shocked and cry for peace when mild violence is used against their interests. Stage Green will certainly resort to mild forms of violence in the cause for justice.
  21. Because there is no difference. There is nowhere to go. Everywhere is equally good and equally nowhere. The mistake you're making is that you have a bias towards one thing or another. You think being infinite is better than being finite, but that's a bias! God doesn't have any biases so it is happy to become all things. From God's POV, becoming an ant is just as good as becoming Albert Einstein or Jesus or Hitler. Because God is all those things. When you are conscious that you are everything, you don't mind being everything.
  22. Not as awake as he could be. But also, Wilber spends a lot of his time talking about the relative. So you have to be careful with this models. His models are useful for relative world stuff. They are useful from the POV of science, for example. But they will hold you back from understanding the Absolute. Wilber's AQAL model is great in many relative contexts, like in understanding politics, for example. Just don't try to use it to get to God. If you want to make all this a lot easier, just take a psychedelic and you will be shown what Love is.
  23. I'd say this is beyond traditional Blue. It's more like healthy Blue/Orange with hints of Green. Enlightened Blue Hardcore Blue would not support something like BLM, LGBTQ+ or protests. They also misspelled LGBTQ+, Lol
