Have you tried an interpretative dance?

The practical way to solve this problem is not to reduce people's ability to vote but to make higher education free and easily available to everyone, and to raise the quality of the education system. Almost everyone pays taxes anyway so this is a moot point. And people who pay taxes are certainly biased against paying taxes for purely selfish reasons. So you're not avoiding that problem. Big tax payers routinely corrupt the government in order to avoid paying taxes. The takers aren't the poor, the takers are the rich.

If only a psychedelic breakthrough could be captured on paper.

You gotta constantly work on it and keep your mind open. Which gets harder with age as your mind becomes cemented. That's basically inevitable. It's just a question of degree.

Lol. This reads like a joke. Wilber is not integral? LOL Wilber places Buddhism on top? LOL Wilber is Red-Orange? LOL Mystics are not the most developed humans on the planet? LOL These people don't understand the brilliance of Wilber's work. That's because they lack mystical consciousness.

Truth/Being/Love is not an abstraction. And it has nothing to do with survival. That's exactly how devilry works. The devil always ends up getting hoisted by his own petard. Devilry always backfires and undermines survival when taken too far. Milo has been totally disgraced. I doubt he's swimming in money. Well, tough titty. Bullies get their comeuppance. Karma. This is a classic characteristic of selfish people. They flaunt their selfishness and act cocky, until one day someone bigger and stronger than them acts selfishly towards them, and then they cry at the taste of their own medicine. When you act like an asshole inside any community, don't be surprised when one day the community excommunicates you. When that happens, of course your survival will be severely hampered -- because survival is a communal affair, yet you were being a selfish bastard, acting as though only your individual survival was at stake. NO! The entire community is at stake. Roosh was acting like a dick and he got slapped for it.

EVERYTHING is always free. Including slavery, murder, rape, genocide, war, oppression, etc. Those are all perfectly free things. When a dictator oppresses you, that's total freedom at work. The problem is, you don't want actual freedom. You want security and comfort. You are just confused about what you want. That explains it.

Libertarians.

Don't hope. Awaken to Infinite Truth & Love.

My grandparents had a rabbit farm. By the time I was born they had eaten all the rabbits so I had none to play with.

@fluffy Your perspective is too little-picture and short-term. My perspective is big-picture and long-term. In the short term devilry will always be the case. In the long-term, Truth and Love will crush every devil.

My dad broke the news to me and I cried a lot. Never spoke to her about it.

Yeah, because you're part of a COMMUNITY, you self-centered fuck. This test has already been run. It's called: the last 10,000 years of human history. Conclusion: You lost.

Hahahahaha.... Let's see how much of a winner your are when we enslave your children. If libertarians were left on their own, they would be completely enslaved and exterminated. Because they are gullible fools. Like dodo birds.

When I was 7 years old I had a bunny. Then I went on a 2 week vacation while my aunt was supposed to take care of my bunny. When I came back they told me she left him outside in the sun in his cage and he died.

Not Truth, Not Being, Not Love

Does it? How do you know your asshole isn't fooling you?

Ideology and survival always serve each other. The function of ideology is survival of the self. And the self cannot survive without money.

Red loves Red. Which is why Trump loves all the Red authoritarians around the world and they love him.

Lol

You have to be careful with how you measure things, your personal selection biases, and how you define terms like "conservative" since it is all relative. A) Even old people today are still more liberal on many issues than they were 40 years ago. For example, 40 years ago most people viewed homosexuality as wrong/a mental illness, most people were openly racist and sexist, and would freak out over talk of socialism. Today, the culture has evolved so much that same people have come to accept many liberal positions like gay rights, women's equality, anti-racism, etc. B) Most people don't do any serious inner growth after they hit 25. They get stuck at whatever stage they are at at 25. Such people will get entrenched in their worldview and double-down on it. This is explains why they become conservative. They just stay in place while culture around them evolves. It's a relativistic thing. If culture evolves but you don't, you will look like a dinosaur even though you haven't really changed. If you were born in the 1950's and you got stuck in your development, then by the standards of 2020 you will look like a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc. Because your mind is still living in the 1960's. C) The majority of people do not advance even one stage after their 20's. Because they do no inner work. So most Spiral evolution happens generationallly and collectively, not at the individual level. That guy born in the 50's may still be conservative today but his children and their children will be a lot more liberal because culture has evolved a lot and their minds were not stuck in the 60's. I doubt this is statistically valid. This is probably just your selection bias because you are young yourself. Also, youth are easily influenced by trends and propaganda. Their is a significant chunk of American youth which is brainwashed and radicalized by right-wing propaganda and ideology. Christian youth, young conservatives, incels, alt-right, white nationalism, people who follow Jordan Peterson, etc. Even today many youth are raised by stage Blue conservative parents who indoctrinate them. But overall I think if you do careful statistics you will see that youth are far more liberal than their parents. Even conservative youth is still gonna be more liberal than their conservative parents. You just don't appreciate how bad their conservative parents were. Today's conservative youth is still far more liberal than people were in the 1950's. Almost no conservative today would say that schools should be segregated by race, that blacks shouldn't have a right to vote, that it's okay to beat women if they act up, that gays should be put in jail, and that socialists should be put on trial as traitors and blacklisted. Yet these were all common positions in the 1950's. You'd have to be almost blind not to see how much society/culture has liberalized in the last 70 years. It's a shocking rate of evolution. People just take it for granted.

You mean Tucker Carlson? Zing!

They didn't jump on it to make a good living. They jumped on it because that's their level of consciousness/development. Ideologues are true believers in the BS they peddle.
