Nope When you act like a devil, don't be shocked when others act like devils to you.

The problem is that while everyone is railing against Green, the reality is that Green has only just begun and we don't have anywhere near enough solid Green. People are yelling and kicking about Green when Green has yet to take power. The only way forward is to dismantle the corrupt corporate neoliberal capitalist plutocracy, and that can only happen at solid Green, and it still decades away from being actualized. All those people complaining about Green are just useful idiots for the corporate plutocracy. While they complain about cancel culture and SJW's, corporate plutocrats are sucking up all the country's wealth and killing the environment in a way which will be catastrophic. The name of the game is distraction. People get lost in cultural issues while neglecting the real issue, which is the rotten economic system which has corrupted government. Ken Wilber is not right on this. He's discounting the capitalism problem. What goes on at college campuses is irrelevant compared to the capitalism problem. Even if 1000 Jordan Peterson like professors are fired, it all means hardly anything compared to the capitalism problem. The priorities are so out of wack, even among Spirally aware people. The culture war is a huge distraction and it fools even intellectuals like Wilber.

@Consept That's some grade-A devilry.

Pornhub is like eating at Arbys.

It makes little difference. The two are not incompatible.

No it can't. You will never persuade a materialist.

@RiverFlower If you are not fully conscious, then whatever you're doing is counter-productive. The entire point of this work is raise consciousness. So don't lose sight of the ball.

All of God's Will has been given to Absolute Love. Thus nothing about it can change. But it contains within it infinite change. God's Will is precisely whatever is being perceived by you right now.

No But you are not saving that sperm. It's getting produced regardless.

The problem is that you guys are not aware of your self-biases so they warp your understanding of reality.

No there aren't. The only rule is: have sex. There is nothing special about you just because you hold off sex. That's all fantasies and games.

@Tarzan Insulfation technique is not so easy to get right. You have to make sure there is no drip in either direction and you have to keep massaging it into your nose for 5-10 minutes until it is fully absorbed. 15mg is a good starting dose. It should be intense, but manageable. Plugging is far more pleasant.

Your dose was way too high. All you got were more stories that others fed to you and fantasies. That is not good enough. Take a proper dose, in silence, keep your eyes open, and don't move.

Babies are not enlightened.

That's just your bias for selfish reasons. No one has to suit you.

She doesn't need to fall for it. Everyone knows that sex will be happening. She just needs a plausible excuse so she doesn't feel like slut. So the guy provides this excuse even though both parties know it's a game. The guy can't say, "Let's go upstairs and have sex." Even though that's exactly the truth, it make her feel too slutty. So now's a good time to start building your stamp collection, boys

Most women these days in developed democracies are taking care of themselves. I've never had to support a girlfriend financially. So the idea that women are somehow demanding that you buy them things is simply untrue. If you're buying stuff for women, you're the one who's playing into that provider frame. I expect my girlfriend to pay for her own stuff most of the time. Nevertheless, I don't have a problem providing for the woman in certain cases as long as she's able to maintain a job/career of her own. Like, if I had children with her, I'd certainly expect to provide more for her and the child since she's providing her body and emotional energy to raise the child, and probably taking time off work and sacrificing her career. You can find women of various kinds. Some women are more traditional and want to play the old patriarchal role where she is the house wife and you are the provider. But many women today don't want to play that role. These are stage Orange & Green women. These the ones I like. I would not date a stage Blue woman. But you can certainly find one if you want one. So really, today, we have the best of both worlds. It's just a matter of knowing what you want and then going for it.

You are the only thing that exists. Forget about babies and focus realizing that YOU are God dreaming up babies.

It doesn't matter that you didn't mention it. It's still an operative force because what you're talking about is cultural norms. And cultural norms are shaped by survival necessities which have existed for thousands and hundreds of years. Your thinking about this is far too short-sighted and self-centered. This isn't about you or your desires. This is about how the human species deals with survival challenges. Sex and intimate relationships don't exist for your amusement. They exist for the survival of the species. The standard of men being providers applies to the last 300,000 years of human evolution. Good luck unwiring that. You might as well be asking, why are women expected to be youthful and sexy? Why should they do this? Why is that fair? What's in it for them? It seems stupid and unnatural.

Consciousness and intelligence are related in some way which I don't know how to specify. But they are not strictly identical, at least not until both become infinite. Consciousness and intelligence range from zero to infinity.

You do understand that sperm is not retained by the body. It is peed out if it goes unused and new sperm is constantly being produced whether you ejaculate or not.

@bmcnicho Carry a baby for 9 months and squeeze it out through your legs. Then let's talk.

It's wisest to seed an excuse early on in that date which you can then call upon as a reason for going home at the end. It's good to have something in your house which is of interest to show off. For example, your aquarium, or a photo album of your travels, or a dog/cat, etc. Something so you can say, "Let's go! I have to show you that photo album I told you about" or "I'm thinking of remodeling my kitchen and I want your advice." Rather than making this a lie, try to actually have some cool stuff at home that's worthy of showing off.

More excellent work from Abby Martin and Chris Hedges. Chris Hedges is brilliant.
