Of course that's what I'm saying. I've been saying that for years. When I call people stupid, I truly mean it. I'm not just being arrogant or immature. You have to realize just how stupid the average human is. This is like an existential realization. It's not polite to ever say in public because of course people will hate you for saying it. But be careful because not everyone is stupid. But if we are talking about the average voter, then yeah, the ignorance is so deep that it will be hard for an Actualizer to understand. It is a mistake to assume people are more intelligent than they are. This is a mistake that many progressives make and one of the key reasons they lose elections. It is a deep paradox that mankind is both so intelligent yet so stupid.

Obviously! Of course vibes and popularity is relative to your opponent. Kamala had vibe problems.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha....

It's not irrelevant because the base needs to be jazzed up to win elections. Swing voters certainly find Trump's fascist vibes appealing. To them Trump represents masculine power, strength, economic success.

This is good:

To you. His base loves his vibes, and so do many swing and indie voters. Trump is a master of vibes. His vibes are exactly what drive people to vote. His vibes are perfect for half the country.

Do not equate this to Covid or inflation. People will not feel or notice climate change or butchering of medicaid. This is an optics game. Even when Trump screws thing up the ignorant social media will scapegoat wokeness and blame the wokes. You can't win this battle on facts. It's all about people's perceptions. Most importantly it's about the perceptions of the more ignorant people. Ignorant people don't understand climate change, medicaid, government agencies, nor institutions. They don't care! They care about guns, Jesus, and Joe Rogan making fun of women with dicks. Can you crack a good woman-with-a-dick joke? Then you got the right vibes. In politics, you're dealing with children. Children want candy, not a policy lecture about climate change and systemic racism.

Obviously it's more than just vibes. The reason I insisted on vibes is to correct people who overlook the vibes and get lost in policy debates. The point is not that it's only about vibes. The point is that it's more about vibes than intelligent people want to admit. I often say simplistic and exaggerated things just to correct for the absurd views people have. It's meant to be a slap in the face. When Kyle Kuliniski or Cenk Uygur is rambling on and on about how popular progressive policies are in the polls, he needs to be slapped across the face. Because he's missing the point and misleading the audience.

By demon he means a poor brown person begging for coins on the street corner as Tucker drives by in his Range Rover while sipping his latte?

You can even boil the principle down to this: Just vote for the least toxic candidate.

That's so simplistic. Obviously Biden's vibes took a nose-dive during 4 years of the media ecosystem beating on him. And even just his age. Vibes look bad when Biden mubbles on TV and hardly walks. Also, Biden got a huge advantage in 2020 due to Trump mishandling Covid. Covid basically lost Trump the 2020 election.

@martins name My notion of "highest stage" excludes toxic versions of all stages. Obviously you don't vote for an unhealthy toxic verison, unless the alternative is an even lower toxic version.

It doesn't matter if he did. What matters is that people blamed him for it. He was pretty decent. He was over demonized by the right and the left because both extremes want an extremist, and Biden is just normal.

Vote for the highest stage running who has a decent chance of winning. That's the principle. Do not vote for people who have no chance of winning even if they are Jesus. Jesus is never going to win an election so don't even consider that option.

That's the trap. The truth is that you don't know if it will work out. But instead of just accepting that, Christians force faith on themselves. Faith really means: you don't know but you wanna act like it will go your way because your survival needs it to go your way. I don't need faith that a crocodile will not eat me. I just don't know. Maybe a crocodile will eat me one day. That's the simple truth. Whereas Christians walk around telling themselves every day that they have faith that a crocodile will not eat them. This faith will be eventually broken by God because it isn't true. It is not just that Christians have faith in God. They always conflate faith and God with their personal and social survival needs, which is a corruption. The problem isn't merely that Christians are corrupt, it's that Christian ideology necessarily creates corruption. Their corruption is not coincidental, it is causal. My argument is, if you want to free yourself of corruption, let go of Christian ideology.

This video does not contradict vibes it confirms vibes. Biden had bad vibes. Vibes are also set by media. Alternative social media ruined Biden's vibes with their ignorant analysis and spread Trump's macho fascist vibes. That alone is enough to shift an election. Of course inflation was a huge novel factor. The development of people doesn't change fast enough to swing elections. What changes is how the media inflames and stokes the fears and passions of various development stages by playing up the vibes. That's exactly what swings elections. It doesn't matter what the actual stages are, what matters is how they are preceived. If you demonize Green all over social media, Green will lose.

Arnold is a conservative like a bird is a dinosaur.

Come on man. He would easily win because he is a giga-chad celebrity. Not because he is rational. Arnold is vibes on steroids. American elections are popularity contests.

That doesn't mean what you think it means. The reason I'm not interested in what people call enlightenment is because it is not deep enough to reach God. It took me a long time to figure that out.

Foolishness is self-correcting as it plays itself out and necessarily fails. Now we watch it play out and fail. Those who are incapable of educating themselves will be educated by the laws of reality in broad daylight.

Of course. Infinite Illusion is Infinite Beauty. People are just too stupid to see the genius of it. Welcome to God.

The tools are too weak and the epistemic foundation is missing. Appreciated. Thanks.

But you shouldn't assume that Yellow will have your politics. Yellow could be politically spineless I think. There's way more than that. Jordan Hall for sure. Ken Wilber. John Vervaeke. And many more. I see Schamchetenberger, Wilber, and Hall as actually Turquoise.

Peak libertarian stupidity is afoot. The dragon of corruption and megalomania is loose. This is what happens when no one is properly educated and spiritually bankrupt.
