  1. That's not what was implied. Don't confuse who one would have a baby with vs being around females. Love does not mean that you will have a baby with any random person. Sexual preferences are a highly personal thing. That's all my message was pointing out. It's okay if your sexual preferences are very specific.
  2. But the point is, piloting can be done by a computer. Policing cannot. That analogy fundamentally misunderstands the challenges of policing. It cannot be done algorithmically. And the pilot's life is not in danger by the passengers. The pilot wants to not fly into mountains precisely because it aligns with his survival. A cop being nice to criminals is dangerous to his survival. If drunk people broke into the cockpit on a regular basis, pilots would shoot them.
  3. They happened RELATIVE to you imagining them. Our culture imagines Rome happened, so I speak relative to that. You are confusing relative and absolute domains. It is impossible to speak of anything other than relatively.
  4. It could be regulated and taxed a lot more. Ethics on Wall Street will also improve. Investments will favor more conscious and Green companies. Selfish companies will start to get shunned and shamed and become bad investments.
  5. As a culture a consensus will grow about the limitations of Blue and Orange, opening up to a Green worldview and value set. This is already happening, as we see in the news. Racism, for example, is becoming impossible to maintain in public without shame. Endless capitalism is starting to be questioned and shamed too. Pretty soon the Wall Street types will be ashamed of their work as their peers start to see them as devils.
  6. 99.9% of women I would not touch with a ten foot pole. God isn't a fool
  7. All that is relative stuff happening within the dream. The Matrix is an illusion and yet when you are inside it you must play by its rules. Like a video game. History is imaginary, but we speak of it as if it is real. Everything we speak about is only relatively true.
  8. My oldest vids used green screen, which cuts a few pixels off the face, making it not true to life.
  9. They will also mature by then and learn the error of their ways. Those in charge quickly get smacked in the face by reality.
  10. @Akemrelax Maybe it doesn't fit you because you're more in the middle. If a model doesn't work for you, just ignore it and move on to something else. For me it offers valuable insight into my personality.
  11. In that case what are you worried about? Are spoiled children gonna take down science and universities?
  12. Survival and reproduction are the true lies. Stop buying into that materialist foolishness.
  13. Stop assuming any of that requires a brain. It occurs in the current moment as phenomena. It occurs in your consciousness, obviously, since that's where you find it. A video game character can do all those things without a brain. What you should be wondering is how some pink colors can think, learn, meditate, remember, etc. Your mind is not in the brain, the brain is in your mind. And mind is nowhere, nohow, and nothing.
  14. STEM, just like the police, isn't going anywhere, so I wouldn't worry about it. You have to not let the latest silly or absurd fringe example color your view of the world. There is a whole business now of getting outraged at some one crazy edge-case as if it's mainstream.
  15. I'm not sure which serious people are saying that. I think the claim is more that these fields have been heavily dominated by European white men for a long time and that more opportunities should be made for minorities.
  16. A simple way to explain it is like this: If you cut open the skull of a video game character, you will see a "brain" there (if the designers programmed it that way). But that thing is not at all what is controlling the video game world. Perception in a video game is NOT coming from the avatar's brain or body. The brain/body is just part of the entire simulation which does not hinge on any one part within that simulation.
  17. Science certainly has biases in it. Biases at the epistemic level, metaphysical level, and then at social and cultural levels. Is there some systemic racism and sexism in academia? Almost certainly.
  18. As with most things, it's part-true. All models of reality are partial and limited.
  19. Meh... Drama, drama, drama. Stay calm and carry on. It's like people want change to happen, but then as soon as it starts happening they start whining. Weinstein doesn't understand the relativity of science and materialism. Therefore he doesn't understand Post-Modernism and why it is challenging STEM. The epistemology and metaphysics of STEM needs to be questioned and deconstructed, and you're not going to stop that from happening no matter how hard you try. This is fundamentally what people like JP, Weinstein, Sam Harris, etc. do not understand. STEM and academia will never get shut down. They are just being questioned.
  20. Because you're not in a position to appreciate the depth of the questions you're asking. If you are serious you will need to spend years and perhaps decades carefully contemplating and deconstructing all this. You are basically asking, "How does reality happen at all?" and the answer to that question is so radical that if you knew it, it would kill you. Watch more of my videos and contemplate them deeply. Nobody is going to give you these answers. You must have major awakenings to understand. Your mind is playing a game with you. It is imagining reality, and it will do everything in its power to make sure you never become aware that you are constructing reality, because otherwise reality will disappear. Your very life hinges on it.
  21. No, you help people where you are at. Because you can't help yourself.
  22. If you really care about a thing you will work on it every day for years.
