Not all, but much of it is. Much of the local culture is.

My analysis is mostly looking at the Spiral development level of the people in that region. There is no way in hell a stage Purple/Red, highly tribal people, would be able to sustain some peaceful democracy regardless of outside influences. The entire region is too underdeveloped right now for peaceful coexistence.

No Haven't spoken to him in 10 years. Such people cannot be fixed.

Sam has a lot of experience and wisdom when it comes to politics. What I admire about him is his no-nonsense groundedness. If you ignore the fun half of the show, then you can clearly see Sam's expertise and wisdom. But people like to skip the serious first half of the show to get to the fun half -- where, yeah -- he makes a lot of fun of people. It's fun but shallow. But it draws people in to the serious half. The problem with overly young pundits is that they simply lack the maturity and experience and wisdom. People in their 20's and 30's are simply too immature to do solid, grounded political analysis. They are still too utopian. Guys like Vaush, Kyle, etc. are still too young, too edgy, too immature, etc. They need to ripen into their 40's and 50's to really get good I think.

All that is the case. But, I still think that Iran would have had a conservative backlash regardless. There is no way that Iran would have been able to sustain some thriving liberal socialist democracy. It's not developed enough for that. There is still way too much religious fundamentalism there, and the US is the not the cause of that. The US is merely exploiting such things for its own gain. Like a hyena picking at a crippled animal. The hyena did not take down the animal. The animal broke its own leg. Of course this does not excuse the US's exploitative behavior. And if the US has not taken out Saddam, he and Iran would still be at each others throats. It's really hard to say whether taking out Saddam was a net positive or negative in the very long run. In the short run it was bad.

I think you're being too charitable there. These people are absolutists in many ways. If you tell Vaush that fascism is only relatively bad, he will probably call you a fascist, Lol.

You can also ease up on meditation or change up the way you meditate.

The limit of your morality is set by the limit of your consciousness, selflessness, and capacity to love. The bottleneck is not morality. It's consciousness, selflessness, and love.

LOVE!

We aren't. Which is why drugs exist.

@Aaron p Are you comparing batches from different vendors or are you comparing plugged vs vaped, or both at once?

Survival and ego are Love. Evil is Love.

The final solution to Truth is surrender.

If only it were that unified. The whole region is tribal as fuck. Even folk of the same Shia sect won't get along. It's deeply tribal, which requires autocratic unification through oppression and genocide.

Hahahaha... Good luck with that one. Your entire society will collapse with one stray mutated gene.

This is an important point. I agree with this. The human psyche is far too complex to simply fall into 4 categories like: "sociopath", "psychopath", "narcissist", and "normie". It's a complex blend of thousands of variables which no psychologist fully understands. Yet still, some people are just straight up flaming narcissists. My Dad was a pretty serious narcissist/sociopath. Hehehe.... That's golden.

Well, I include Iran as part of the Middle East. It makes no difference to me which sides are taken. The entire region is underdeveloped.

We'll see. I talk about relativity a lot in less direct ways.

You got it

It's important, but the cost of Arabs selling so much oil is that Americans will interfere with their affairs. You can't have one without the other. So it's not proper to say, "Well, if only the West didn't interfere with the Arabs they would be thriving democracies." No they wouldn't. They would be ruthless monarchs living in the middle ages. The West has accelerated Middle Eastern development despite the obvious exploitation. The West has also accelerated the East's development despite the obvious exploitation.

I do have a video: How To Have Amazing Sex (For Women)

@Maxman Do a urine test for heavy metal toxicity. Heavy metals cause brain fog for sure if you got too much of them.

He did silent retreats.

Skeletons in the closet for sure. Many of them should be anger prone and verbally and physically abusive. Child porn would also be likely for some of them. The whole anti-pedophilia thing that right-wingers love is largely a projection.

Much of the Middle East is still extremely tribal stages Purple and Red. Such countries cannot sustain democracy. The US did not cause that although it exploited it.
