Of course that happens because progressives live in an ideological echochamber. The Green worldview is an echochamber. Yes. For sure this happens. Sam Harris is a good example of this. Some far progressives might call me just another centerist neoliberal.

Because God's body is wondrous.

Sadhguru clearly said it wasn't a belief system. But Ralston is overly dismissive of anything not of his own making.

@SwiftQuill So what are the points you want us to understand that you feel we are missing? Did you watch my 2-part series called Where Does The Left Go Too Far?

@SwiftQuill You are correct that some far left progressives are overly occupied with identity politics and have turned it into a kind of dogma/paradigm lock which overlooks individual details and even issues of economics and class. Some extreme progressives can say stupid things like, "Men are the problem". There are definitely excesses on the left. There are problems with cancel culture and automatically believing any accusation a woman makes against a man, and so on. There are problems with demonizing the police. There are problems with open borders. There are even problems with excessive weed legalization and lax drug enforcement.

You stated your points quite clearly. I don't have time to summarize them all. Bottomline is that you feel affirmtive action has been unfair to you and overcorrective. You feel that the white male perspective has become marginalized and beat up by lefties when in reality life is still difficult for white males.

@Clarence You seem like one of those highly sensitive people. That is a challenging way to live. All I can say is that you gotta desensitize yourself to life somewhat. Life is a harsh and dirty business and things will get broken, lost, or die on you. It is not your responsibility to babysit mice. About your ear, I can relate because I went through some difficult ear problems. I suggest you visit an ENT doc and have him check your ears for wax and do some tests. But in the end you will suffer a lot in life unless you get serious about letting go of all those excessive worries. You can't micromanage life that much. Let life flow more and surf the waves of chaos. If you cannot even hold a job because of all your worries then that's clearly very dsyfunctional. You should fixation on safeguarding everything so much and focus more on being creative and productive. Don't pinch pennies when you could spend that effort making dollars. This requires a shift in your attitude towards all of life, from defensive to offensive. You need to live more offensively and boldly. Take some risk.

@SwiftQuill But bro, I am a white male. Why is it that I do not feel oppressed by affrimative action and feminism? I participated on manosphere forums. Why did I not have a problems there? I applied for jobs and I didn't feel that women had it better than me. I share my opinions all the time and no one had canceled me or rejected me. And I say some radical shit. You are seriously complaining that tech jobs are biased against white males??? This isn't serious. I think the real issue is that you are struggling in life from personal issues and challenges and your mind is looking for something to blame, and wokeness fits that bill. Look, just because white males have certain privilege in general does not at all mean that being a white male is easy. Some white males got it really hard. I am sorry that you were dealt some bad cards. It definitely happens. It can happen to anyone. But if you are not getting a tech job I promise you it's not because of wokeness. I know the manosphere inside out. It's got a lot of toxic stuff in it. With that said, you can also find good advice in some parts of it. I did. But if you are honest you have to admit that the manosphere has a lot of toxic, depraved ideas that poison the minds of young men. So you can see why wokeness would denounce the manosphere -- because it is deeply sexist. That doesn't mean you can't get some valuable advice from it to improve your life. But you understand that Andrew Tate and men of his ilk are perverts.

Let's start a list of the best music for listening to on psychedelics. Obviously taste in music is very subjective, but try to post the best of the best here. This music should work well with psychedelics and tripping. Chill, moody, down-tempo, ambient, techno type stuff. There's lots of obscure psychedelic & chillout music that can be found on SoundCloud.

But this is a cartoon caricature of wokeness. "All males are privileged" is not a serious political position. It's a FoxNews meme. I don't really see this happening. Leftists are concerned about income inequality and class. It is obvious and acknowledged that many white males are poor, struggling, and need help. Again, not really. She is part of an oppressed class in narrow ways like with regards to sexual harassment. Or lower income. A bad job market affects men and women pretty equally. You make it sound like women got is easy in a bad job market. Dude, cis white male perspective dominates every platform and medium, and it has for 200 years. Come on. When you make arguments like this is weakens your case. How would you know if the pendulum was swung too far? By what objective measure vs personal outrage?

His work is so full of jargon that I don't know who will understand it. It obfuscates Consciousness more than it clarifies it, IMO. I have a hard time believing that anyone reading his work will awaken from it.

Actualized.org IS Gnana yoga. But even so it will not be enough without changing your state. You can question mercilessly and have a sharp intellect but without changing your state you will never understand God.

It is crucial to distinguish criticism of wokeness from below vs from above. Of course wokeness can be criticized from above, but most criticisms of wokeness are from below, as an emotional backlash, ideology, or culture war nonsense. I have criticized wokeness from above. I have several videos on that topic: Where The Left Goes Wrong. And blogposts. Just because you've been denied some jobs or whatever for being male doesn't mean much because you also need to take into account how often women are denied jobs for being women. Or blacks for being black. Or gays for being gay. Wokeness doesn't mean that white men are priveleged in all cases. You can find exceptions. But overall white men got life easier than every other demographic. You have to be careful not to conflate your personal situation with public policy matters. You lost a job due to being a male? Okay. But what does this have to do with what the best public policy is? You can criticize wokeness but you gotta do intelligently. When you say the Lego Store didn't hire you because you're male, how do you know that is the reason vs them just picking someone who is more qualified? If you have an anti-wokeness worldview then your mind will just spin a story to match it. And when some place does hire you, will you care whether they hired just because you're male? Will you complain about that? When you make your politics so tied up with personal benefit and employment, that's a sign that your politics isn't very good. Because good politics isn't about your personal needs, it's about what is best for society at large. Woke politics does not personally benefit me, since I'm a rich white male. But what makes me developed is that I don't even care about that. It doesn't even cross my mind how I can benefit from politics. If you want to do criticism of wokeness from above then you should be coming from this place, not personal grievance from losing a job.

I don't know how to quantify that. The older they are the lower in quality. My best understanding hasn't even been published yet.

OP can apply the advice given and decide for himself what works best. My job here is done.

If you already have attraction all figured out then of course your concern is now finding quality personality and character. You are like a girl who takes attraction for granted. You people are completely out of touch. Like millionaires swimming in money. You don't even understand what poverty is.

Well, my understanding of everything has increased 10x since that video was recorded.

Dude, I still got PCs running Win8 that I have used for 10 years without a single virus.

Mind your spiritual fantasies.

There is no better example than Chris Langan of why IQ will not save you in this work.

Call the Ghostbusters.

But also sometimes an old fool CAN just take a psychedelic and awaken. The point is that intelligence is not the main factor, or else all the smartest people would be awake.

I know. And I told you that's a mistake. You have invented a self-reinforcing delusional tautology. Like: The Bible must be true because by my definition it was written by God and God cannot lie. Or like: science must be true, because if something isn't true then it cannot be real science. You can craft all sorts of definitions like this, but you will get reality wrong by using them. The critical point in all this is to realize that you cannot trust your own mind. You're trying to skirt this point with clever mind games but that will fail because your mind will deceive you. That's not a maybe, that's guaranteed. You are already in a state of self-deception, you just don't realize it. The point is that there is no way to trivialize the distinguishing of truth from falsehood. This is like a law of the universe which you are trying to short-circuit. You're trying to do the psychological equivalent of traveling faster than the speed of light or building a perpetual motion machine.

The part where dating cannot just be about manipulating women into sex, it has to be about integrity, emotional connection, intimacy, communication, and all that stuff. Character matters inside the relationship.

You don't need support. It will work just fine.
