A wild chimp will tear your arms out of your sockets. They are called animals for a reason.

With any vaped substance you gotta go extra easy on the dose. It's easy to take a big hit and get in over your head. Baby doses. Since vaping is so fast, it's easy to redose if you undershoot. Impossible to undo if you overshoot.

Big no-no.

Lol Nice libertarian fantasy. Judge: "So, young man. Which prison do you want to go to?" Criminal: "Hold on Your Honor. Let me check the Yelp reviews."

Yes, definitely. We gotta look for the low-hanging fruit in police reform, like body cameras, banning choke holds, etc. Some stuff is cheap and easy to do.

Not specifically that way. I have made my own vape carts. Otherwise I just prefer using a oil pipe. It is the most direct way I know. No need for fancy electronics.

Actually, it is, if you are calling for a 6-man squad of police per incident. You have to think through the practicalities of your policy proposals. If you steal a cop's taser, expect to be shot. Not so difficult. As for Floyd, that was an excessive case and some kind of reform is necessary there. No choke holds is probably a good new policy. It seems that lots of people have breathing challenges so choke holds end up killing people unnecessarily. The key here to find practical policies which will solve the problem without costing too much time or money.

No, I vape without harmala. I haven't noticed that harmala changes the vaped trip too much. But I haven't tried doses of harmala beyond about 60mg. A large dose of harmala might make the trip very potent, so be careful.

Lol That's the job! Police deal with such situations every day. You cannot have police walking around in packs of 6 just because some big guy might overpower one of them and steal their taser. In such a case, you kill the guy. Policing is not free. It costs a lot of energy and resources. Police need to use their energy efficiently. They cannot coddle every idiot they encounter on the street. If you waste the police's resources, yeah, get ready to have a gun pointed at you. There is a trade-off between fairness & the energy required to deliver that fairness. And this equation has diminishing returns. Which means that to go from 99% fairness to 99.9% fairness might require a tripling of energy invested. Are you willing to triple your sales tax in order to get that 0.9% of extra fairness? These are the real-world decisions that politicians and police chiefs must make. It's a delicate balancing act.

That can work when there is huge demand for that industry, as there is with programming. But even so, many of those people are probably miserable because they are not suited to be programmers, they did it forcefully.

@nowimhere Yes, you want the HCl harmala extract. Seeds are crap. You plug the harmala mixed with a few drops of vinegar + light coconut milk. Wait 30 minutes. Then plug the DMT mixed with a few drops of vinegar + light coconut milk. The larger the dose the more it will sting. To get a breakthrough this way you'll need quite a lot of DMT. 50mg+ or even 100mg+ But the trip will last much longer. I actually prefer to vape DMT because it stings the ass too much given the needed dose. But you can experiment around and see which you prefer.

That's the catch-22. The more conscious you become the less willing you will be to fill roles requiring low consciousness to succeed in them. That's totally foolish as not all people have the personality type suited to succeed in science. And if everyone became a scientist who would fill all the other roles? Mankind's strength comes from our ability to specialize into roles.

That's a big part of it. Cops are self-selected to be more tough-guys than the general population, in the same way that bouncers are selected to be huge dudes. The average person cannot become a bouncer. If you observe a lot of cops, you'll see that they even share some physical body characteristics. They have a more alpha appearance than the general population. An LSD-taking hippie is not gonna apply to be a cop. Cops needs to be law-and-order types. Oh, wait! Maybe that's the solution! 10 mandatory trips of LSD for all cops!

That's what God is doing. You need a deeper understanding of karma. Karma IS the thing which equalizes the field and allows everyone to reach God. It's just much more complex and indirect than you want it to be.

Yes, of course. I totally get that. If you're in poverty you cannot even afford to pay a speeding ticket. - - - - - - - More regarding that Rational National video: We have to recognize that those who are given power are likely to abuse that power. So like the Standford prison experiment showed, people put in positions of power over "criminals" are likely to abuse it. That is a problem deeper than racism. How do you stop cops from wielding power in a bullying way when they are upset? That's not easy to do. Remember, cops are human and they have egos. If you piss them off, yeah, they will crack your skull just for the satisfaction of it. It's very difficult to train a cop to be totally fair and neutral, especially under stressful conditions. Being a cop is harder than being a judge. A judge can be neutral in the comfort of his office and high chair. A cop has to be on the streets dealing with punks and idiots all day long. Imagine a judge trying to be neutral while the defendant is spitting in his face and calling him names. The courtroom has the luxury of decorum. And even so, judges are human too and they are not always neutral. The general problem here is: How do you train highly conscious people who are given lots of power? Any given cop or judge can only be as good and uncorrupted as his level of consciousness and development allows.

You ain't gonna fight the cops with a tazer. In this case you let yourself get arrested and deal with the aftermath. I have yet to see videos of cops killing people who surrender without a struggle. Such cases are very rare and would deserve severe punishment for the cop. I agree that police culture is very self-serving, as we see with police unions who defend their own unconditionally in a self-biased manner. This should be reformed and improved. Any predatory behavior must be reformed. But I think 99% of cops cannot be reasonably called predators or kidnappers. But then again I ain't black and my experiences with police are not from the ghetto. How it works in a ghetto, I dunno.

@Serotoninluv I learned everything I need to know about Detroit from watching Robocop

What's the difference? Karma is not some mechanism of doling out punishment to bad people. Karma is the natural consequence of whatever finite form you have and whatever actions it takes. When you throw a rock in the air and it lands on your head -- that's karma.

Space in that model doesn't represent space, it represents Selflessness/Love/Consciousness. Your separation from the Godhead is not a function of space or time, it's a function of lack of consciousness and Love, or fear. The Godhead is outside of time. Time is something the finite fragments of consciousness imagine as part of their material dream. The Godhead exists outside of time, Eternally. So the Godhead literally spends Eternity in its formless state. And then at any point in Eternity it can imagine time and thereby limit itself to some time-bound dimension. Since God is unlimited, there is literally nothing preventing God from doing anything it wants instantaneously without a how. If God has to ask itself, "But how can I do this?" that would be a limit! The whole point is that when you realize you are God, you realize that no how is necessary.

Karma. Don't just assume that the karma of the suicidal person will be wiped clean. Suicide probably incurs serious karma, whereas the selfless path purifies all karma.

Actually this correct. You can't appreciate policing until you've personally done some form of it. The thing about policing that most people don't understand is how relentless it is. The volume is very high. You are handling borderline cases all day long for years. After arresting hundreds of people and dealing with thousands of devils it makes you jaded. You can't handle each case like a snowflake. There are too many devils to treat each one like angle. Devils take advantage of your generosity. You don't shoot one of them, and he stabs you in the back with a knife. I agree this could be improved upon. Like, don't shoot in the chest or head unless he has a loaded gun. But then again, if a criminal was shooting a tazer at me, I would shoot him in the chest. That's a serious threat. It is the height of arrogance to steal a cop's tazer and use it against him. You thereby practically leave him no choice but you shoot you. That tazer was the cop's humane tool to arrest you with.

You mean this Wendy's case?? Or some other case? I think the Wendy's case is not over-policing. Other cases are different, like Floyd.

Firstly, policing is hard everywhere. Secondly, it's harder in the US because we have a unique culture here and a different level of development. Policing will always be harder in less developed countries and countries with higher economic disparity. Western Northern Europe is more egalitarian with less economic disparity and slightly higher level of Spiral development. Europe doesn't have a huge legacy of slavery to deal with.

There is an ennegram personality type which loves to get its sense of purpose and meaning from enforcing laws and justice. These types of people love to do work such a military, policing, bouncing, security, etc. It's a valid personality type. Such people serve an important function. They are not bossy per se. They actually value loyalty and they can be healthily expressed. But if they become unhealthy then it can look very ugly as abuse or tyranny. "When fighting monsters one must be careful not to become monster." is one of my fave Nietzsche quotes.

There could be such a difference. But is it really worth the hassle of sorting through all that shit? There is a big difference between conscious polyamory vs cheating. If you both agree to be in a polyamorous relationship, no problem. Then it ain't cheating. The problem happens when people fool themselves about polyamory when what they secretly want is to use polyamory to find the best mate they can and then ditch all the rest. It's not a true commitment to polyamory, it's a manipulative and selfish ploy.
