  1. @PsiloPutty That would take some Googling, which he is not prepared to do. He would like you to grow the mushrooms for him and regurgitate them into to his mouth like a mama bird
  2. Of course, because you are just reacting to it from ego identity. That's your problem right there. It would be wise to actually do some reading and research before talking about feminism. I would bet that 98% of JP fan have not read a single feminist work. That is the whole appeal of JP: he offers and ideology with which to demonize and attack others without doing an serious research into their POV and why post-modernism arose in the first place. This whole JP fandom is rooted in lack of education. You must learn to take on other points of view, not just insist on your own being right. All POVs are partial and relative. That is the lesson of post-modernism which is being missed by JP fans. They do not give a rats ass about seriously exploring other POVs. Which requires reading and research.
  3. @Your place at Heart Wikipedia: Names For God
  4. @Brittany I would not classify him as purely stage Blue. He is definitely much more nuanced than a solid Blue person. Solid Blue is like Mike Pence or Jerry Falwell. Peterson is not a religious fundamentalist. He is very Orange with stripes of Blue and some hints of Yellow, and a big inflammed Green shadow.
  5. Yellow is generally in favor of more social engineering, not less. Yellow just wants to do it in an integral, Spiral conscious way, using a systems theory approach. All stages basically want to socially engineer society to fit their values. Yellow wants to socially engineer society to accomodate the entire Spiral, recognizing the value each stage offers and the need to help people grow through all stages up to Yellow. Don Beck and his work trying to teach Spiral Dynamics to Israelis and Palestinians is the epitome of stage Yellow social engineering efforts. It's really eye opening to read about. My work to integrate science, spirituality, and Western philosophy is also very Yellow.
  6. @martin_malin As a counter-point, isn't it curious how no enlightened master or yogi speaks from a memorized script? I wonder why?
  7. A) God wants EVERYTHING! That's what infinity is: EVERYTHING! God includes all possible dualities, including good vs bad, open vs closed minded, love vs hate, order vs chaos, peace vs violence, etc. God necessarily incorporates all of it. That is God's Love with a capital L. Nothing is denied. B) I give a list of names for God from all mystical traditions in the video: Mystical Traditions Around The World. There are like over 100 names for God outside Islam.
  8. @CreamCat I'm curious, how many scholarly feminist books have you read? Please post us a number.
  9. Speaking from a script is a totally different skillset from speaking off the cuff. Which skillset do you want? Practice that one. As a middle way you could practice speaking based off a PowerPoint outline, that way you have some basic notes, but not entire written out sentences. Speaking off the cuff is far more enjoyable and powerful. It is the harder skill to develop, but really worth it.
  10. @Geromekevin I would rather get kicked in the nuts than try to convince Scott Adams of his self-delusions. There are some people who are beyond help. Trump, Sam Harris, Scott Adams, and JP are 4 of them. There is no awakening a closed mind.
  11. I mentioned the colors of most countires in my Spiral mini-series.
  12. @PukkaDanks Make sure you broaden your sources and research. I get the feeling some of you just watch my videos and then whatever I say, you think is the right thing for you to do. The LP must come AUTHENTICALLY from you, not from copying stuff I say because it's just the shit that's at the top of your mind because your mind is filled with my videos. Double-check that you are not just aping me. Have the courage to find what is authentically within you (which I did not put there).
  13. @CreamCat Killing men?? Who are you talking about? No serious person fits that description. If you are going to use your mind to cherry-pick the worst of the worst, you're in big trouble. You have to look at the center of gravity of groups, not at fringe nutcases.
  14. @CreamCat Psychopathic? Lol I don't think you understand what that word means. Do some feminists go overboard? Sure. Jailing people without a trial is wrong and should be resisted. But this does not make feminists Red or psychopaths. It's just a political position you disagree with. A Red psychopath is Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers.
  15. @CreamCat Wilber criticizes Green from above. Peterson criticizes Green from below. It's very important to distinguish where the criticism is coming from and what the proposed solutions are. It's possible to criticize Trump, for example, for not being conservative enough -- the way a Nazi might criticize him. That does not make the Nazi a good guy to listen to. P.S. I don't find Wilber an astute political analyst. At this point in time the moderate right wing is a far greater threat than any potential radical left. What goes on in universities should not be compared to what is going on at the national level. There are no serious radical leftist voices in mainstream politics at all. You do not see socialism being seriously discussed in mainstream American politics AT ALL. No one is talking about elimination of private property. When you start seeing serious political pundits on CNN advocating for abolition of private property, THEN you might have a point to worry about some sort of radical leftism movement. Until then, it's a tempest in a teapot.
  16. @RichardY Well, as long as your juvenile mind is entertained I guess the rest of us can disregard all the human misery his administration is causing, from droning civilians to caging children to shredding environmental regulations.
  17. @graded24 You are overlooking the obvious: what you see is all there is. Nothing is a simulation or even an experience of anything. You have 100% direct access to Absolute Truth at all times. Everything you see is directly the Absolute Truth. But simply by virtue of your belief that you are a seperate self, you are missing this most obvious think. Nothing is hidden. The reason you aren't understanding it is because for you to understand it you would have to realize, "Oh fuck! There is no me!!!" And you are not yet prepared to that. Because you are only considering solutions which assume that you were born. Except you were never born. Your birth is just a story. If there is no you, there is no one who is perceiving experience. Which means experience isn't really experience, but Absolute Truth.
  18. Nobody is totally wrong. Hitler was not totally wrong. Every perspective always has some grain of truth in it.
  19. @RichardY Are you trying to say Trump is not a moron? Cause even all of his closest aids and colleagues acknowledge as much. The only ones who think Trump is not a moron are those who are at roughly his level of consciousness.
  20. You must buy the books. Don't be cheap. There is no such thing as an "online library". That is called copyright infringement. By buying books, you support the authors who wrote them.
  21. @PukkaDanks What is the most meaningful way to you to raise the world's consciousness? Be concrete. What do you mean by "raising consciousness" and why is that meaningful to you? Why is business being used to achieve this impact and not something else? Why is business meaningful to you? What is the point of business?
  22. You could make a religion out of science, and even Absolute Truth itself.
  23. As I've said, don't be so damned literalist about it. It's a useful model when used properly, within limits. Once you start debating if someone is 755 or 756, you've stumbled in your own stupidity. What you should be more concerned with are the general differences between the 600 range, 700 range, 800 range, 900 range, and so on.
  24. @Kosmos I watched a 2 hr debate on God by JP and Matt Dillahunty. In those 2 hours he never once said what God is. Because he does not know. I can tell you what God is in two words: Absolute Infinity
