She clearly needs to watch the Self-Bias episode

You sly dog

@Matt8800 You gotta try some 5-MeO-DMT. It will blow your mind. Total omniscience is possible.

@Serotoninluv Of course it's all relative and there's a spectrum. People are free to define these terms however they want. I would say progressives are usually more left than liberals and progressives really care about making structural reforms to the system without too much concern for maintaining the old norms. One of those old norms is the dogma that capitalism is the only viable system and an absolute good. To me a progressive cares most about making serious changes to society to improve it. A progressive sees not making enough change as more dangerous than making too much change. Which is the polar opposite of a conservative. A progressive has a vision for how great society could be if we get our shit together and act big as a unit. Here's a good analysis of this issue: I consider Kim, Zizek, Bernie, Warren, and TYT progressives. Definitely not Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi. They are centrists. Basically a progressive understands the inherent limitations and injustice of capitalism. Whereas everyone else is in denial about it. I consider myself a progressive, but I don't consider myself a socialist. I think there are some serious problems with socialism which socialists are in denial about as well.

Here's a great interview:

@Serotoninluv Zizek is a supporter of Bernie. His position is that he's very much against Neo-Liberal Third Way corporate Democrats such as Joe Biden, Hillary, etc. He wants serious progressivism / social democracy. Zizek is basically more leftist than even TYT.

Truth is utterly paradoxical. That's not a bug, that's a feature.

Goodness is a facet of God/Truth/Consciousness.

Accepting Fox New propaganda shrinks your world.

Strictly speaking you do not need to follow any moral rules to awaken. Just like how you don't need to follow any rules to learn math. But if you are very wrapped up in acting from ego (being highly selfish) you will, in practice, not likely ever awake. So all that Buddhism is telling you is: stop being a fucking devil for a bit so you have a decent chance to awaken. Stop your whoring, theiving, and hoarding. Not because it is evil, but because it interferes with meditation. Yup It would be nice, but it is not a necessity. You are free to be a devil. There are no shoulds in the universe. The point is Totality. This means that some will be awake and many won't. The awakened person understands that most people should not be awake. There is no why or should. You are free to do whatever you desire. Things are Good regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not. Awakening clears up confusion. Confusion is okay too. It is part of Totality.

I have a BA in Philosophy. Overall I was quite disappointed with it. So I gave myself a PhD in God. That solved the problem.

You lucky fucking communists!

@Matt8800 Have you met machine elves on DMT?

Awakening is not normative. You are not obligated to awaken. Awakening is not better than not awakening. So yes, Trump will not awaken, but there is no one in the universe to say that is wrong. In fact God loves Trump just as much as the Buddha. It is us humans who judge Trump because it affects our survival and we are self-biased in that sense. So we can rightly kick Trump out of office, but that has nothing to do with him being bad in any absolute sense. It is a relative matter.

@Extreme Z7 I was talking about philosophy degrees. A Masters or PhD in engineering is much more functional. Philosophy in particular is not meant to be studied in a university. This preverts the whole point of philosophy. If you want to do serious philosophy, get yourself a bag of mushrooms and DMT and start doing yoga.

You are projecting your own ego all over the place here. Just notice that. You are thinking with your dick.

It can help you get to solid Orange and introduce you to some Green concepts. But once you exhaust Orange and go solid Green you'll want to let RSD go.

Hard to say. Scandinavia has a strong Christian influence. That certainly plays a role.

That's the kicker! No one. Whatever you imagine is what goes.

Why? It will mostly be a waste of time. You can grow far better on your own and save the the money. The only reason for a masters or PhD is if you want to be university professor. It serves no other function and it certainly won't help you understand Truth.

We are not going to be discussing extraction methods or creation methods on this forum. Remember that extraction and creation puts you into a whole nother category of legal problems. You will be treated as a drug dealer, not merely a recreational user. So do not go this route. If you are living with your parents you should not be doing this stuff at all. Be careful and don't fuck up your life.

That's exactly right. Damage and suffering is relative. According to you Hitler caused damage. According to Hitler he was improving the world.

MAOI + 5-MeO-DMT can be lethal. Never do that.

@Bodigger Stephen Paddock fatally shot 58 and injured 422 people in Las Vegas, 2 miles from where I live, using a bump stock and an arsenal of over 20 weapons, plus another 19 weapons found at his home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Paddock Just think about that.
