  1. You can certainly go out sober and pump up your state in the club so much that you will feel intoxicated simply on fun. I've done this. It feels like being drunk. Dancing is a great way to pump up your state, as is approaching girls. Lots of approaches will pump your state up to crazy levels. Having good friends with you will also pump your state up. The best way to become socially uninhibited it to go out to nightclubs very often and push your comfort zone in the club with dancing, flirting, talking, having fun, etc. Hell, you can even fuck in the club! That will pump up your state for sure
  2. Nothing has to be. You can trust whoever you want, but trust does not guarantee truth. Every time you trust someone about something you are creating an opening for being wrong. So if something is important to you, you better verify it yourself. The unimportant stuff you can trust people on.
  3. God created itself, of course, since it is unlimited.
  4. Hot witch girlfriend? LOL
  5. Absolutely! Indeed We need to move towards one person, one vote, and seriously raise taxes on the wealthy and giant corporations, and break up monopolies, and ban lobbying, and publicly finance elections. These basic changes would solve most of the problems.
  6. Timothy Leary beat me to it: https://www.inman.com/2019/02/15/timothy-learys-trippy-lsd-den-hits-the-market-for-1-5-million/
  7. To be fair, his analysis is pretty sloppy. I'm starting to regret linking to him the more I watch his stuff. He's conflating all conservatives with fascists, which is just dumb. Classic Green trap. Find a better source. Most conservatives are decent people. If this isn't understood, there is a fundamental bias.
  8. Well, to be fair, by this logic cops shouldn't stop DUIs and all medicine should be sold over-the-counter. Government has always controlled what you can put in your body. Altering one's chemistry is dangerous stuff when done by fools. And we certainly need leaders. As a leader himself, it's funny how Hancock doesn't understand the importance of conscious leadership.

  10. They certainly won't help you understand politics.
  11. Listening to a game streamer on complex social issues? That's like getting career advice at a whorehouse.
  12. That's right. All rights are imaginary. Ta-da! Welcome to adulthood
  13. Wait till you realize that reality has infinite resolution. Notice that your visual field has infinite resolution. There are no pixels, contrary to what science told you.
  14. Meh... Look for better sources.
  15. Is there any other kind? LOL A nationalist with a global context is a globalist, LOL
  16. Of course Sounds, feelings, or anything else in his experience. He must have some experience, otherwise he wouldn't exist. It makes no difference what sensation you focus on. I use visual examples because most of us are highly visual creatures and our visual fidelity is highest. Plenty of Zen masters got enlightened by focusing on sound. Sound can be an excellent meditation target. As can bodily sensations like pressure or breathing. You can even focus on nothing and awaken that way. Since you are Nothing But it's hard for newbies to focus on nothing.
  17. I believe I am here because of my hard work and that I deserve it and that many people don't because they didn't do what I did to get to where I am. By definition, anything you have you will feel like you deserve. Especially if you worked hard for it. It's almost impossible to have a decent degree of success without feeling like you deserve it. If you did what Bill Gates did, you'd feel like you deserve it. LOL. And their life's work is helping mankind in other ways. Bill Gates' life's work was to make PCs available to everyone in the world. How many lives has Bill Gates saved by making PCs more mainstream and efficient? 1 million? 10 million? 100 million? How many lives have you saved with your work? You see... it's all so much more complicated than it seems.
  18. Okay, but how do you know that RIGHT NOW is true? Could RIGHT NOW be false? Don't guess. Look at what is true. And in the meantime just realize: I don't know. If you fantasize about a banana. Is that part of reality or not? What is reality? Locate it. What is fantasy? Locate it.
  19. Good. But how do you know experience is true? What is more true, experience or fantasy? And what is the relationship between experience and fantasy? Is fantasy a type of experience? Good In this case the only way you'll know if it's true is if you do the action and test it for yourself. Say banana 100 times and see what happens. Without doing that, notice, all you have a belief. The science could turn out to be false. This happens often. In practice, we can talk about brains as long as we remember that we are talking about a relative, imaginary construct of the mind. We can talk about conceptual stuff but the key is not to get lost in our concepts and start confusing them for reality. Again, you have to be extremely careful with how your mind weaves strong imaginary narratives such as: "To optimize my sleep I must change the brain and the brain is a real organ, etc." << all that is relative stuff. "The brain" is a conceptual narrative which grounds your entire sense of reality. Which is why it's so difficult for your to shake free of it. You see, you've hinged your very life on it. So this puts you in an existential bind. If you question the brain too much, you will lose a piece of yourself. Some part of you will die. And you don't want to die. To you, reality comes from the brain. To a Muslim, reality comes from Allah. To a kid, Christmas gifts come from Santa Clause. All these are imaginary constructs to which we grow attached and which are difficult to let go of because they are so fundamental to our worldview. If Santa Clause is imaginary, where do gifts come from? The kid is confused. He does not yet know the true origin. That takes work to discover.
  20. You might be surprised to learn that most elites don't identify as being elites. "Elites" is a notion that normies invented in many ways. I don't wake up every morning thinking to myself, "I'm an elite". But some normie might think of me as an elite if he sees my bank account. Often times an "elite" is just a passionate, hard working person doing his best to help the world as he sees fit. The fundamental problem I have with conspiracy theories is that they misunderstand the motivations of people. They tend to ascribe evil motives to people without recognizing that all humans, be they normie or elite, are acting out of what they think is best for the world. What needs to be understood is that when a normie wakes up in the morning and goes to work, he thinks he's doing something good. And when an elite wakes up in the morning and goes to work, he thinks he's doing something good. But how did his family get it to begin with? Of course later generations can free-load off the wealth of their ancestors. And in such cases the wealth quickly gets lost. Trump lost daddy's $400 mil. He would be richer if he just put all that money into a bank CD.
  21. Well... don't ask me. Look at what is true. Is it true that RIGHT FREAKING NOW is all there is? Don't believe it. This is not some kind of dogma you take on. Fundamentally this work is about seeking TRUTH. What is true? Is it true that your brain is imaginary? Is it true that a scientific theory is imaginary? Take a look. Whatever is true is what is true. My opinion about it is irrelevant. You can optimize your sleep without needing to appeal to some metaphysical notion of a brain. In the same way that you can eat a banana without needing to bring to mind the atoms which you imagine it is made of. Chimpanzees have been eating bananas for a million years without knowing anything about atoms. You can read about atoms, but don't confuse atoms for a banana. Atoms are imaginary. And just because atoms are imaginary does mean that you cannot now optimize how you eat bananas.
