We need to coin a new term: Meta-cringe -- when you cringe at the ignorance displayed by others cringing at stuff because they think it is ignorant, AND at the same time you are fully conscious that your own cringe at their cringe is also ignorance on a higher level.

That's why I quit the AAA game industry within 1 year. It's a soulcrushing meatgrinder. Indie games are the way. AAA game development = Orange Indie game development = Green

Yup, we've seen it and discussed it here when it first came out.

You don't need to be a some enlightened genius to understand this. You can get this right now. Let's say you just had a baby and I presented you with a button to push. If you push this button, the baby will never experience fear or pain in its life. Would you push this button? Well, if you do, your baby will be dead within 1 year as it breaks it skull on something. How do you expect survival to happen if fear and pain aren't present? If you want an organism to stay alive for 80 years, you better program it with many fears and pains.

If you're classifying people as alpha or beta, your mind certainly isn't blank

If you read the comments section under my video: The Dark Side Of Mediation, you'll see a lot of ignorant people, many of them Christians, taking my points as reasons why meditation is evil or demonic. People have this naive notion that if meditation isn't easy, pleasant, and instantly positive, or if it creates emotional purging, then it must be evil. When in fact those negative symptoms are simply the process of the devil leaving your body. As always, the devil calls what is good, evil, and what is evil, good.

I will take Harris over Pence without hesitation.

Only from the ego's perspective. The Earth is 4 billion years old. Once you take that into account, we are making progress at warp speed. Perspective is everything.

@Johnny5 You don't know what you're talking about. Relative = Absolute If the end, everything has to equal everything else, otherwise you're still in duality, still not ONE.

@diamondpenguin I don't use weed since it's addictive.

@Johnny5 There can't be an absence of Everything since the absence itself is part of Everything. Stay humble, grasshopper. Your mind keeps creating dualities. The mirage is Absolute. Form = formlessness. Atman = Brahman.

Suffering is the absence of love.

There is value in the alpha/beta distinction in the sense that you can turn yourself into a much stronger man. Not physically stronger per se, but spiritually stronger. You can become a lion among men. Which is a good thing. But it must be genuine strength rooted in consciousness and Love, not some frat-boy machismo which is compensating for insecurity, fear, and lack of consciousness. Teaching men how to be strong is a great and important teaching. You just have to be careful not to turn it into toxic masculinity, which is all too easy.

Old fat hag in the blank

God designed the universe with such a narrow balance of good and evil that you can never fall asleep And yet, progress is always made. We ended slavery We got anti-trust regulation. We got the 8 hour work day. We got social security. We got legal women equality. We got legal racial equality. We got legal gay equality. We got coverage for pre-existing conditions. Luckily the status quo is self-defeating.

It's genius unless you're a black person who gets arrested for weed and locked in prison for 10 years.

Materialist cringe:

Well, actually, Trump lost the popular vote by several million. So it says more about our antiquated and anti-democratic system. In a proper democracy Trumpists would have no chance of holding power. Which is why they aren't strong supporters of proper democracy. As many dumb fucks as we have, Trump still lost the popular vote. And so did Bush.

Hatred towards Trump caused Covid-19:

Yes, yes, yes. Of course. Go visit Iraq or Liberia. See how life works there. Your entire worldview will be challenged. You will have an existential and moral crisis.

@Parththakkar12 If all people agreed to live peacefully, yes, we would not need a government. (Although even this isn't true.) And if all soccer players agreed to play fairly, we would not need referees. But this is fantasy.

You can't ever denuclearize because nuclear technology is used in power plants, space travel, chemistry, mining, and many other places. A rogue actor could always weaponize that technology. You are assuming people are well-behaved angels. But they aren't.

@Parththakkar12 Anarchism utterly fails in an advanced society of 7 billion people. No way. You can't manage nuclear technology and genetic engineering via anarchy.
