No, it succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. I just found even higher things.

We could use a few more Mods here. If you're interested, and you have a track record of making decent, mature posts, feel free to PM me. You will only be picked if I see that you have a solid track record of mature, even-keeled posting. Drama queens need not apply. Thanks!

@mandyjw Still playing games.

When I wanted to make my own video games, on my terms, I made a plan to start an unrelated business to earn money to finance my dreams. Within 8 months my business was making money, I quit my day job, and worked on my biz for a few years to become financially independent. Today, if I wanted to, I could spend the next 10 years just sitting around making whatever video games I desire. If you want something bad enough, you will devise a plan to make it possible. You will never become successful by thinking inside the box and doing what every other fool is doing. If you really care about music you will find a way to make it happen.

@mandyjw You are full of shit and playing games.

I will be locking any threads which try to claim that Covid-19 is not dangerous or promote conspiratorial thinking about the response to this virus, trying to frame it as some elitist power-grab. If you don't like it, this forum is not for you. I expect collective responsibility of you guys.

No! You are God

Banned

Lol People are making millions in music. If one man can do it, so can another. Your time horizon is too short. You need to plan things out better. I'm not saying you will be able to support yourself within a year or two. That's unrealistic. You must be realistic with your plans. Maybe consider getting a day job or starting a biz so you don't have to stress about money. Following your passions often requires building up capital. This is complicated stuff. Reading books and taking course is less than 1% of the work necessary here.

Meh... Banning people who violate ToS is proper. The notion that banning them makes them stronger is just not borne out by the results. Letting someone like Alex Jones remain active on a major platform is toxic and the right wing plays victim all the time anyway. There is no upeasing such people because they are rabid ideologues. Their minds are rotted and their egos gigantic. All online platforms MUST be moderated or they turn into vile 4chan. This is a law of the internet.

WTF are you talking about? You can make millions of dollars as a musician. You are not trying nearly hard enough. You are giving up before you even begin. Being a musician is perfectly pragmatic if you are serious about it. But no one will put you on. You must claw your way to success by developing crazy talent. You kids these days have no work ethic or commitment. You are spoiled rotten.

My work is not focused on healing heavily traumatized, dysfunctional, or abused people. That is remedial work for psychotherapy. My work is focused on what to do after you've moved from dysfunctional to functional and you want to reach the highest levels of human potential. People have different needs. There cannot be a one-size-fits-all solution here. In a sense my work is too advanced to be useful for avarage people. You have to be seriously interested in pure understanding beyond any personal gain. If you are wounded, you are too selfish and too needy to care about pure understanding.

So, it is clear that you have gotten ahead of your skiis with spirituality. Stop worrying about spirituality and focus on shoring up the base of your pyramid. Go figure out your career and financial situation. Then you can return to spirituality. You need to teach yourself how to be pragmatic and how handle your basic survival needs before you go trying to transcend the world. Lucky for you, truth is not so important for this pursuit.

@commie

@Keyhole I am just being humorous. I didn't laugh at that. I laughed at a bunch of rabbits mysteriously dying.

Stop spreading bullshit here.

You're kind of a dick.

But MA FREEDOM!!!

It's funny cause it's true.

The more feminine she is, the more drama she creates. Feminine is emotional and floaty. Which is why the highly feminine seeks the highly masculine to ground itself, and vice versa. That's why the hottest girls are often the most batshit crazy and not worth the hassle to keep. But alluring like sirens.

@GroovyGuru You just need to burn through some karma. You're young. Go enjoy life. Come back when you're exhausted chasing material rewards. Spirituality requires high maturity and ripeness.

Have you tried an interpretative dance?

The practical way to solve this problem is not to reduce people's ability to vote but to make higher education free and easily available to everyone, and to raise the quality of the education system. Almost everyone pays taxes anyway so this is a moot point. And people who pay taxes are certainly biased against paying taxes for purely selfish reasons. So you're not avoiding that problem. Big tax payers routinely corrupt the government in order to avoid paying taxes. The takers aren't the poor, the takers are the rich.
