@krockerman Stop speculating and do the practices.

@SunnyNewDay Don't post that PragerU propaganda here.

I think it's great. Of course they have a lot more growing to do in other areas, but hey, they're growing pretty quick for the Middle East. You gotta keep in mind that all growth is relative to one's starting point and geographic & historical situation. It is incorrect to judge Dubai by American or European standards. When you compare Dubai to Iraq or Saudi Arabia you see how great it is. When judging countries the key is less-so judging their absolute position but their rate of growth and willingness to change. One of the biggest problems in America is that our system has become so stubborn and resistant to change.

He's critical of Green from above. And he's mostly talking about Green as it crops up in academia. I think the thing he's overlooking is that our national politics is nowhere near as advanced as academia politics. So while it makes sense to criticize Green academia from above, this creates confusion if people try to apply this more broadly to our national discourse. The national discourse is so regressive that it's got miles to go before it reaches solid Green. By over focusing on criticism of Green Ken might inadvertently play right into the hands of the status quo and the right-wing. It's important to not draw a false equivalency between stuff like Fox News and excesses of academia. Whatever criticism academia deserves, stuff like Fox News deserves x10 more.

You guys have been so spoiled with free Actualized videos Of course paying 22k seems absurd now! Lol

Maybe we should. I kinda like the sound of "Society, Environment, Politics" And then those of you who aren't interested in that topic would see less of those threads in the Self-Actualization and Spirituality sub-forums. I wonder if there's a conscious society/politics forum anywhere on the web.

That's not a good method. Pick one of the following: 1) Read your script word for word while your video shows various related imagery, not your face. 2) Show your face but speak without a script. Speak naturally, the way you would to a friend. You could have an short outline of your key points just to keep you on track.

This is good. But also, some girls need Words of Affection. Read the book: The 5 Love Languages. Learn to do Words of Affection because this is the top love language for many girls.

This is a problem on its own which needs to be resolved anyhow. What is the point of doing a job that a donkey could do? The whole point of machines and AI is free humans to be their most creative and artistic. But being creative and artistic requires serious development, sense of life purpose, and vision. Worrying about how to keep humans doing donkey-jobs is a disservice to humans. Show humans how to be fully human. I don't see a serious AI coming online within the next 100 years. Nothing that could rival a human's creativity or intelligence. There will be many AIs who are good at crunching big data sets and doing very narrow task extremely well. But this is not a rival to human creativity, vision, wisdom, leadership, consciousness, and love. - - - - - - Humans and AI can work wonderfully together, leveraging each others strengths and compensating for each others weaknesses. Think of Data from Star Trek.

@nowimhere All this has been discussed to death in the Kriya Yoga Mega-Thread.

What you're probably looking for is Transpersonal Psychology. A few universities offer it. Like this: https://www.sofia.edu/psychology/matp/

@nowimhere Try Kriya yoga.

An unconscious student mistakes a guru's consciousness for unconsciousness.

All things are imagined in the now. Welcome to the Mind of God.

Its full power really shines on a week-long retreat. Kinda tedious though.

The alt-lite and alt-right YT rabbit hole is well documented to radicalize young white males. Young white men who resonate with JP's victim complex will definitely be suseptible to alt-right ideology. He is unwittingly helping to radicalize people against liberals, progressives, women, social democrats, and LGBTQ. PragerU and FoxNews are right wing propaganda channels, and he appears in their videos. Like Trump, he knows not what his words are doing. The alt-right desperately needs intellectuals and academics to give them an air of credibility. He fits that role. He is a fool's idea of an intellectual, just like Trump is a fool's idea of a rich person.

No they won't. This is a myth. The US used to have a 75%+ tax rate for rich people. You cannot currently move away from IRS taxation. If you are a US citizen even if you move overseas you still owe the IRS money. You can't just do a bunch of business in the US while living offshore as a citizen and not pay taxes. Not to mention that most desirable countries have fairly high taxes.

Where does the now exist? Where does the universe exist? Where does anything exist? No where

Most young men who follow him have no idea about the Spiral, so they will not be able to discern the limitations of his worldview. Moreover, these young men use his worldview to deepen and justify their toxic masculinity and hatred of feminism, creating a gateway into the alt-right, incel-ism, RedPill, white supremacy, and all that jazz.

To be clear, nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy as long as you understand it's a fantasy. Since there's nothing but fantasy you might as well enjoy it a bit.

Here on Actualized, when the pizza lacks mushrooms we throw it out

@Pouya Don't over-estimate AI. Humans have no idea yet how to create truly intelligent AI. Most jobs are not getting replaced. There are tons of creative jobs for humans.

@Identity Problematic people exist on all sides, but not in equal proportion. Racism and reverse-racism are not equivalent. Likewise with feminism and toxic masculinity. Be careful with false equivalency. It's a very popular form of self-deception these days.
