Obviously we aren't there yet. To really realize that ideal our government would have to become stage Turquoise. But we don't need to wait that long. Many of those non-western parts of the world will raise themselves to the west's level in the next 50-100 years. China and India are on the way. Especially if the US doesn't bully or exploit them. It would be great progress for the US to just stop bullying others. Many South America countries were terribly exploited by the US, with their democratic populist governments undermined for corporate profit.

Just to pour some gasoline on this campfire:

This hinges on how deeply you realize that you are the entire horse race and every horse in the race. If your identity is limited to that of one particular horse, then you will only cheer for that horse. But it is possible to realize that you are the entire playing field -- that we are all ONE -- and that life does not have to be zero-sum game. By working harmoniously we can all profit. Conservatives identify with one horse. Progressives want every horse to do well.

LOL This sounds so ridiculous once you have some God-realization. It's people like Pena who became tyrants and mob bosses. What Pena is missing is that if everyone in the world becomes feminine, there won't be a need for war. So the absurdity is that he wants men to be more macho in order to protect us from other macho men. LOL Masculinity: that which is needed to protect people from the savagery of masculinity.

Yes, there's no guarantee the west will remain most advanced forever. It's an endless horse race with different horses in the lead at different times. Which is why it's silly to make a big deal when your horse happens to gain the lead. Your horse ain't as special as you think it is just because it is your horse. The mistake is to cheer for one horse over all the others when you could be cheering for all the horses and the whole dynamic of the race. Right-wingers make this mistake of cheer-leading for one horse. A horse is a horse, of course, of course, which means in the end every horse dies.

@Serotoninluv I think you can say that white western civilization is better. It is objectively more advanced in many ways. The real problem is when you justify that with genetics, IQ, or some kind of innate superiority when the real reason has more to do with geographical and historical factors, and most importantly the situation is not hopeless or irredeemable. Underdeveloped countries and cultures are fully capable of advancing to the level of white western civilization. It will just take some time. So we don't need to treat them as hopeless, but rather help speed them along. And also, it's important to acknowledge the great qualities of non-western cultures. In some ways they are better and more advanced than the white west. India, for example, has crazy spiritual development which puts the west to shame. The general solution here is simple: start loving all cultures and peoples and treat them as if you will one day be born as one of them. Be ware of your own cultural biases and don't try to justify them like Molyneux does.

I wouldn't say that half agrees with his exact detailed justifications of white superiority. I'd say half leans right-wing. And I think plenty of right-wingers have a vague sense that white western civilization is better than the rest because it has historically been so dominant and successful -- regardless of how you explain it. I think at least half the country is ethnocentric, feeling like their race and culture is the best. Ethnocentrism is a more nuanced thing than racism. Stage Green SJW types would benefit from making that distinction. It's easy to call people racist when really they are stuck in ethnocentrism. They are unable to see beyond their bias towards their culture and ethnicity. Such people are not nazis, facists, or explicit racists. I would say, for example, that my mother is ethnocentric. She def has biases against blacks and others simply given her upbringing, but not in an openly racist way. It's subtle. I think A LOT of people are like that. At least 50% of the world population. You can call such people racist but you are going to turn them against you and make them stubbornly defensive. They will never admit they are racist. For example, if I married a black girl, that would def disturb her. I think that is super common in the boomer generation.

Alex Jones is a mentally ill, deranged stage Red narcissist. Far more dangerous than Molyneux. Thing is, you can't just ban all right-wing ideology, since roughly half the country agrees with it.

Actually a normal guy is better positioned because his mind is not so rigidly attached to an idealist philosophy. The average guy is not some absolutist about libertarian principles. Average guy just wants some basic stuff like healthcare, high minimum wage, etc. This is a tricky thing. The problem with any ideology is that it tends to radicalize people and things escalate quickly even when the original founders don't intend them to. Very tricky to regulate that. Lots of grey zone. Overall I'd say Molyneux was very much in the grey zone. Which makes it so tricky.

The thing about how worldviews and ideology works is that one is a true believer. One feels entitled and fully justified to one's worldview by definition. I don't think he was corrupted by money in this case. He's just a true believer in his ideology. He does not recognize it as an ideology. He doesn't see his worldview as useless or racist. He sees it as crucial and scientific/realistic. All this just boils down to a difference in worldview. And all worldviews are relative. The whole problem of racism is that racists never see themselves as racists, they see themselves as realists. It takes deep self-reflection to recognize one's own racists justifications as self-biased. This requires radical openmindedness and painful self-honesty. Being a philosopher, Molyneux fell into the trap of turning his philosophy into an identity which he is now committed to surviving and reproducing. It's not about money for him, it's about his pride and his identity. He's a very idealistic guy. Personally I wish him well. I think he has a good heart, although of course I don't agree with his ideas on race, IQ, and the superiority of Western European culture. He simply does not understand development psychology or how consciousness evolves. Banning someone like Molyneux might end up backfiring moreso than banning someone like Alex Jones. Molyneux is someone who could be debated and reasoned with. Driving this stuff underground could be like sweeping food under the kitchen rug.

I appreciate his commitment to non-violence. He is a cut above right-wingers like Alex Jones, etc:

Paradox is what happens when the dualistic mind -- which divided the world -- is finally forced to confront the consequences of that division in a sea of what is otherwise an Absolute Unity. Eventually all dualities collapse and all divisions get unified. Undivided = Infinity

It exists. It's just that existence is Eternal. Anywhoooo.... this cannot be understood without a radical change in your state of consciousness. So don't bother thinking about it too much.

Regardless of his white supremacy ideology, I can still empathize with him about his whole channel getting wiped out. That's a huge sting.

A race-baiter in the White House: Obama LOL - - - - - Well, that certainly seems to violate YT's 2019 policy:

Both

I'd like to see which video he got banned for. I mean, he was a right-winger, but overall I didn't consider him to be that toxic. Sorta in the ilk of Jordan Peterson.

Wait, Molyneux was banned from YT?? That is a pretty bold move.

Christian saints and mystics within the church.

Time is a projection of the human mind. Once you stop projecting it you will realize that the present moment is Eternal. No time = Eternity = every moment exists forever

A good example of how an otherwise smart and reasonable guy makes himself a tool of the alt-right by not understanding the Spiral.

The irony is that stage Blue is the type to hit a woman. Patriarchy explained by 007.

Lol, no! That singing is like a spiritual trance state. Like a mantra.

Notice, I didn't say it was valueless. I just said be careful. No teacher is all good or all bad. Except me cause I'm perfect
