@TrynaBeTurquoise But the deeper question is, why are you so obsessed with understanding the words of a 2000 year old man when you cannot even verify if his words were accurately written down? You see the deeper problem here? Your approach is so hopelessly indirect. God is sitting right here! Yet you turn to some 2000 year old book written by we know not who. It is as though you are in the middle of having sex, you stop, and you ask your partner to watch some porn with you instead because you want to know what sex is. The key to spirituality is directness. The enemy of spirituality is indirectness. Cut out all the middlemen. They cannot truly help you.

Yeah, in space. Just spit-balling. Someone's gotta think up new technologies.

Why play these abstract mind games? Just realize: You are God! You are Jesus! The end. People make this shit so complicated.

Just selfishness & survival.

It's not about stopping enjoying it. It's about finding a higher purpose in your life, something that you find more meaningful. You don't need to stop enjoying porn. And there's nothing wrong with enjoying porn either. Porn is just part of the beauty of reality. Be grateful it exists.

It means you imagine it. It exists only because you create it. If you stop creating it, it will stop existing. This is not a matter of belief. It is a matter of becoming conscious of how you are creating it. For example, you are not yet conscious of how you are creating your own brith. You have confused the idea of your birth for some real event outside your own mind. It doesn't even occur to you that your birth could be imaginary. In other words, you are basically insane, imagining stuff like a psychotic. The most importing thing you are imagining is that you are not imagining but that its all real.

Stop confusing yourself with that human body. You are not the human body, you are EVERYTHING.

You only need to block like 1% of the sun. It wouldn't be big deal. Tis better than 20 ft of sea level rise.

@Nivsch Green New Deal Research it.

No, I'm just aware he's mentally ill.

Low quality thread.

You gotta be careful because some of them are so screwed in the head he will rape your daughter and slit her throat while you a preparing him dinner. Some people are just deeply fucked up to the point where you will not reform them. Being nice doesn't always work. You guys who follow me will largely be okay. But there a millions who listen to Joe Rogan without thinking carefully about epistemic issues and they can get brainwashed. Alex Jones is basically a cult leader. He is dangerous.

That's precisely the kind of attitude that a devil will exploit to his advantage. You have to appreciate that a devil doesn't play fair. That's what makes him a devil. If you give him the benefit of the doubt, he will exploit it. Which is why once some proves himself to be a pathological liar, narcissist, or con artist you should never take him seriously again. The way a con artist works is precisely by conning you and then repenting and exploiting your soft heart to con you a second and third time. Trump behave exactly in this matter. Which is why nothing that comes out of his mouth can ever be given the benefit of the doubt. Given his past history, everything that comes out of his mouth should be considered a lie unless proven otherwise. That is how you properly deal with a con artist. You don't trust him ever again.

I say this half-jokingly, but also half-truthfully: How green is you poo?

Strange loops here are to be expected. All explanations are partial, limited, and ultimately self-contradictory.

No, he does it because he's not conscious enough. "Forgive them father, or they know not what they do."

Just because you have a mentally ill friend doesn't mean you platform him to your viewers. It's irresponsible to platform such a person to millions of viewers as though it's all just in good fun. It's like yeah, I'm good friends with Hitler, so let me give him my platform.

Oh God. Why does Joe allow this shit? He's way too soft on Alex Jones insanity.

What we really need long-term is a new transformative technology that will either: 1) remove carbon from the atmosphere, and/or, 2) block sunlight from reaching the Earth in the first place. I envision a sort of giant thin film set up in space which simply blocks sunlight from reaching the planet like sun glasses. With such a technology we would not only eliminate global warming forever but we could actively regulate the temperate on the planet to maximize consciousness. But something like this needs to be funded by big government research. It's quite obvious that advanced civilizations learn to regulate the climate on their planet. As a species it's like we're living in the age before air conditioning. Imagine being able to selectively regulate the sunlight in desert regions like the Sahara or the Gobi, making it lush and livable! We could even install a UV filter so people don't get sunburned.

If you are prone to depression then contemplation could be problematic in the sense that you will get lost inside your own mind. You have to careful here to balance between theory & practice. For a depressed person going to the gym might be more effective to change one's mood than contemplating on the couch about one's mood. But it the long run you should build yourself up to the point where you can contemplate things without it driving you deeper into depression. As you become more developed and conscious it will be easier for you to let go of being stuck in your own mind. Kriya yoga & meditation helps a lot with this. If all you do is sit and think (without any yoga or meditation practice) you will end up getting lost in your own mind. And this will create various kinds of dysfunction. So watch out! The mind can be a very dangerous thing. Then again, being mindless can be even more dangerous.

He should look in the mirror then.

JP is actually a smart guy with some good insight into psychology and human nature. But his politics suck. There are two very distinct sides to JP: his academic side and his political side. The problem is he mixes them so it's like he prepares you a fine gourmet meal, but with a turd on top.

Oh there will be major backlash if Bernie get elected. The corporatists will start flinging shit like never before. See, we've never seen the corporate elite truly get their feet held to the fire the way Bernie would do. Big industries like oil and gas, coal, pharma, health insurance, Wall Street, banking, etc. will be in an uproar and will invest billions in ads to manipulate their way back into power. Billions will pour into the Fox News propaganda machine. It will be get real nasty. They will do everything possible to take Bernie down. Because this hits them right at the heart of their survival agenda: money! The health insurance industry will fight to the bitter end like a cornered animal because if Bernie get his way, they're dead overnight. They have nothing to lose. They will go down swinging.

Horror vs comedy is a duality
