  1. Yes, yes, yes. Of course. Go visit Iraq or Liberia. See how life works there. Your entire worldview will be challenged. You will have an existential and moral crisis.
  2. @Parththakkar12 If all people agreed to live peacefully, yes, we would not need a government. (Although even this isn't true.) And if all soccer players agreed to play fairly, we would not need referees. But this is fantasy.
  3. You can't ever denuclearize because nuclear technology is used in power plants, space travel, chemistry, mining, and many other places. A rogue actor could always weaponize that technology. You are assuming people are well-behaved angels. But they aren't.
  4. @Parththakkar12 Anarchism utterly fails in an advanced society of 7 billion people. No way. You can't manage nuclear technology and genetic engineering via anarchy.
  5. But libertarians are not such humans because they don't believe in the collective responsibility necessary to create such a society. You cannot have a healthy peaceful society of 7 billion people who all act like individualists. That kind of attitude will result in a bloodbath. It is like you are trying to form a worldclass soccer team with people who are ideologically opposed to team cooperation. Effective teams require individual sacrifice for the collective. A libertarian doesn't even want to pay taxes, for fuck's sake.
  6. Lol No! Libertarianism is more zero-sum survival than democracy. If you want to see how libertarianism works, look at the animal kingdom. It's every man for himself, raping and killing to survive. It's not peaceful at all. Peace requires monopoly of force and strong regulations.
  7. Breaking News: Fox who guards hen house issues strong warning against leaving hen house unguarded
  8. @RendHeaven You are obviously a beta demon
  9. It is too hard to know. I can't get into their heads. Why not just appreciate every teacher as he is and focus on your own attainments?
  10. Dude, you don't understand relativity. Please stop acting like a know-it-all.
  11. The data pretty clearly shows that Scandinavian countries have the highest levels of happiness, health, and overall well-being of all the nations. So clearly their Social Dem systems are the best mankind has invented so far. They seem to strike a good balance between capitalism and socialism.
  12. I was sorta forced into it because of my health problems. So I'm not a good measure of such things. I was forced to explore many supplements I otherwise never would. If your health is good, then it probably won't be worth it for you. And it also depends very much on your salary. I have money to burn.
  13. Said the ego-mind Lol How about filling the mind with macho human bullshit? Maybe that's more dangerous?
  14. Those sound like shitty friends. Fuck 'em. Find better ones. A true friend is supposed to be able to feel happy for you when you are succeeding.
  15. No risk, no reward. I've probably spent $5k-10k on supplements over the last 7 years.
  16. I think this is just a difference of perspective. I don't see any substantive disagreement here.
  17. All colors, sounds, sensations, feelings, tastes, smells = raw data It's the most fundamental stuff of which reality is made of. These are the true "atoms". You can't boil down the color red any further than itself. You can't boil down the taste of salt any further than itself.
  18. Some people I've spoken with say it is possible, but I'm doubtful it will truly be eternal. From what I understand, all dreams and all forms have a beginning and an end. The only truly eternal and changeless thing is the Godhead itself, which is Pure Infinite Love. I don't believe that God can lock itself out of its own house permanently. That would be rather embarrassing and unGod-like, wouldn't it?
  19. I was making a Star Wars joke. Han has some Red, but I'd say his center of gravity is more Orange. In the first Star Wars movie Han's entire character arc was about him going from Orange to Green. He was this selfish, independent jackass who was too self-centered to join the rebels, and at the last second he changes his mind and flys in to save Luke from Vader's tie-fighter, enabling Luke to make his shot and destroy the Death Star. So, basically, Han Solo's story is that of a selfish jackass who had a change of heart and became an SJW. Star Wars: Rise of The SJW It's amazing how conservatives can love Star Wars and yet not get that the entire movie is about being a SJW.
  20. @LarryW Of course reality is a strange loop.
  21. Of course it's all a matter of perspective. There's not some objective solution to such issues. It's all perspectival, relative, and contingent on one's survival agenda.
