Sam is brilliant at ripping Trump apart.

So do it then. Sounds like you got low self-esteem issues. You gotta be the prize in the relationship. Not her the prize. You are falling into the classic trap of making her the prize. This is because you gotta work more on yourself, strengthen yourself until you feel like you are the coolest person in the world. Who you are as a man should be more important than any of her accomplishments. What kind of man worries about his woman out-accomplishing him. Come on! That's a weak-ass attitude. Own your manhood. Being a man is not necessarily about who you are, but who you're destined to become. See yourself as a lion!

Sounds like he ain't giving her good sex. Quality matters.

I sound like a broken record, but psychedelics can fix that pretty quick. Also, you can be intimate without necessarily dredging up old traumas and things. Not sure why you're so eager to go into that. I mean, she's not your therapist. She doesn't need to know every weakness you had in the past. It's almost like you're trying to build negative intimacy when you could just focus on building positive intimacy. If everything is awesome now, what's the point of delving back into the past?

Second thoughts in terms of what? I will usually peg them at some stage in the Spiral then I'll know how much they can be trusted and how they can be expected to behave. Of course I basically don't trust any human to not be self-deceived and selfish or subscribed to some limited and partial ideology. -
I can't tell what JP's deal is. Is he actually into self-help or is it all just a comedy routine?

People doing name-calling or personal attacks will get warnings.

Too late, they killed it for ya Actually, Understanding IS Love. How can you Love when you don't understand what Love is? Matt's style will resonate a lot more with feminine females than mine will. My style will evolve. But my bias is towards understanding stuff. Every teacher has his biases. Find what works for you.

Politics is dirty business. But the alternative is worse. You can't have a society without politics. The solution is Conscious Politics and raising our collective level of development. -
No only that, but the vaccine will take months and even a year to fully roll out, so you will hear about any side-effects from real-world victims. There's no way the side-effects will remain secret. It will all happen out in the open. If people die, we'll see it. You won't even have access to the vaccine until millions of other people get it before you. But the idea that people will be dying from this vaccine is absurd. It's not gonna happen in any significant degree. But people die from Covid something like 1-3%. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality And Covid has many other harmful effects beyond 1-3% death rate. You could easily lose $10,000 in hospital bills alone! There's just no comparison. The vaccine is 10000% better. And the sooner people understand this, the sooner our economy can recover.

Of course there could. But you must weight that against the very well-documented serious side-effects of Covid. The mistake here is considering risk in isolation from other risks. The question is always one of the difference between two risks, not any one risk by itself. Perhaps the greatest risk of all is the damage to the economy if we do not stop this virus dead-cold within a year. This will harm billions of people. The economy cannot return to normal without stopping this virus. Pretending like the virus does not exist will not work. We can't just will our way back to normal.

There are serious side-effects to owning a stove. So what? You're using ridiculous logic. A million people will die without a vaccine. This is not speculation. It's already half-way there. No technology is perfect. But given the mess we are in right now, we don't need anything close to perfect. We just need something better than 1 million deaths and a 10 year depression. So far the most common side-effect of the Pfizzer vaccine is like 7% of people get fatigue. Governance is never about perfection, it's about minimizing harm and risk in reasonable ways. AKA, strategy. Even if the vaccine killed 0.01% of people, it would still be worth taking. But the vaccine will be much much safer than that.

Classic nationalism, classic Blue. Absolutist worldview where my culture and my civilization is the greatest, all others suck and must be dominated into submission. Men run the show, women exist to satisfy man's needs and raise his babies and heirs.

Except the problem there is that it's the parents' whose survival needs are being met there while the survival needs of the partners is often being ignored. You're dealing with 4 competing survival needs there: husband, husband's parents, wife, wife's parents. Which makes for a very loaded political game. It will be difficult for Truth and Love to compete with all those interests.

Haha! Classic noob mistake: diving in too deep too fast. That's like selecting a 30 day meditation retreat as a noob and then not liking it. Exploring psychedelics requires years of patience.

@Husseinisdoingfine Yes, of course, classic Blue.

@Mikael89 You have to distinguish between Absolute and relative domains of knowledge. Nonduality is about the Absolute. In the relative you can still be very deluded or mistaken.

This kind of stuff requires higher forms of world government which even America and Europe is not yet ready for. The notion that you can just treat the whole world as one giant collection of humans and just distribute resources to whoever needs it << we don't live in such a world, not politically. The world is deeply divided and tribal still. Which creates all sorts of inequalities that cannot be easily equalized from one part to another. Help from outside can work. It just has is limits. The country has to develop to a higher point on the Spiral, which takes hundreds of years. Any country Orange and below will have crippling poverty. We at least need stage Green. And people love to hate Green these days even in developed countries. Which shows you the depth of our problem. Poverty is not really a farming or shipping problem, it's a mental development problem. It's a catch-22. You need better access to food to increase mental development. But you need high mental development to create better access to food. So there is a lot of struggle and slippage as the process tries to bootstrap itself. -
You're not horrible, you're just engaging in creating illusions and playing sneaky games. That's life as a human. It's sneaky.
