Such people and such "science" is not to be trusted. This is liberal dogma, not real science. Of course liberals want to believe that laxness has no cost. This is one of core flaws of liberalism, it sees only upside to laxness.

Sparingly!

That can be true, but that doesn't mean it comes at no cost. Psychedelics are not good for you long-term. They offer a trade off: you purchase high consciousness now for costs down the road. So you must use them sparingly. The self-deception is if you think you are getting a free lunch. If you understand that there is a real cost, you will use them more sparingly.

Maybe the issue is that you're assuming its backwards when it isn't.

I don't buy that. Sounds like a very dubious claim. And the point is not deterance. The point is justice and a culture of strictness and consequence rather than laxness. Laxness itself is the crime. Laxness on murderers eventually leads to laxness on corruption, laxness on white collar crime, laxness on guys like Trump. It's a culture of laxness which allows corruption to run amok.

@PurpleTree It would be nice if you didn't resort to such cheap strawman arguments with me.

I dunno. Gamer culture behavior is quite toxic. I'd say Destiny is the perfect embodiment of the chronically online gamer. Which just goes to show how problematic that sub-culture is. I don't think Destiny is some unique predator. He represents typical online juvenile male behavior. This is how a typical gamer male would behave if you have him power, fame, and money. The disturbing thing here is not that Destiny is some exceptional online predator freak but just how typical and "normal" he is for that sub-culture. I think many young men would behave like him if only given the opportunity. Which is why these kind of scandals are common within the streamer community. Corruption as an online influencer is very easy because there are virtually no ethical standards, no one to oversee you, yet you have lots of power to exploit your followers sexually and financially, and most influencers are very immature and under-developed humans.

At this point it's hard to justify appearing on his show because the bad vibes will rub off on anyone who appears next to him without addressing his toxic behavior. It is a shame because he has very good political analysis.

Growing up means facing the just conseqeunces of one's actions. If he's keeping silent to avoid losing a case, that puts him deeper in the low integrity hole. He should settle with her, pay her some money and just admit he was wrong and will do better going forward. He's got money to spare. This would be a good use of it, to clean up his image a bit.

Coddling murderers is not some great moral achievement. Millions of people die each year needlessly. Focus your consciousness on them, not on the obvious psychopaths. Don't forget that we have finite resources and murderers don't deserve a priority to them.

No. Trump is the result of laxness, not strictness.

I don't see that. Shooting a mass shooter in the middle of his crime doesn't lower us. Neither does shooting him after a fair trial. Life is harsh and serious crime has serious stakes. People need to be more aware of the serious stakes for toxic behavior. Coddling a murderer does not serve consciousness.

Destiny is definitely in the wrong. He has a long pattern of very immature gamer-culture behavior: It would better for Destiny to just come forward and issue a blanket apology for his past, admit he was wrong and very immature, and that he intends to work on himself and evolve going forward. Destiny has some very good political positions and arguments. However his gamer immaturity is really holding him back. This is where he needs some deep actualization work, to shed that corruption from his psyche. Then he will be a powerful thought-leader. But if he refuses to outgrow it, it will hurt him.

I don't have a problem with death penalty for assassination or mass shootings with solid video evidence. It's a fair punishment.

Good work. Keep at it. Sober life is king.

Robbins is not a scam, self-help is not a scam, the problem is the corrupt way in which it is marketed and sold. And also the shallow materialistic versions of it. There is a grifty quality to Tony Robbins and his ilk. There is a fakeness to it, as you saw in that video. It's similiar to religion. Religion is not a scam but it is so corrupt. If McConaughey wanted to do a legit self-help course he could, but instead he got seduced by the Tony Robbins crew into this fake cringe grift. And the problem is that Tony Robbins' crew have deluded themselves into thinking this is an acceptable way to teach personal development. This is like preachers who tell you that God will give you a place in heaven if you just send a check for $100 dollars.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Remember, at the end of the day, Trump is just a hyper-capitalist neo-liberal who wants everything privatized for profit.

Yarvin is like American Dugin. Sounds intelligent on the surface but utterly depraved in substance and praxis.

Juvenile fascist BS:

By realizing that everyone starts life from a position of total ignorance and the only way to learn is to make mistakes and study the feedback. By realizing that being wrong is nothing personal. You did the best you knew at the time.

Yes, escalate.

That's very different. Black dancers are not the world's most powerful oligarchs.

@Jayson G You are misusing the news. You should consume news in bits to get important new developments. Not mindlessly clicking on every bit that some algorithm serves up for you to consume like a pig at the trough. Check the news once a week, and don't read anything about topics you already figured out. You know Musk and Trump by now, you don't need to consume any more about them. You don't need to consume every latest nonsense they said. And you don't need a bunch of more AI news. Either use the AI tools or don't. Enough reading about them. We know how AI works and you don't need the latest model, they are all basically alike. You have to focus your attention on what really matters. News is never what really matters.

Yes, you guys are way too chronically immersed in the news. Stop consuming news for 3 months and see how you feel. You're getting lost in a social narrative. Go outside, touch grass. When I started my first business in 2008, right in the middle of the market collapse, I didn't even check the news for 5 years. During that time I made a bunch of money and didn't even know or care what the economy was doing. If sat around watching the financial news every day I would have probably been so depressed and pessimistic that I wouldn't have even worked on my business. The news narrative -- regardless of what it is -- is NOT reality. Stop watching news and go work on something creative. Go make some art. You will see that all this news stuff is a stupid distraction. You are not improving the world by sitting around worrying about the news each day. Recognize that Trump's #1 goal is to leech your attention. Trump is an attention whore and he will waste your life by distracting you from the important work you should be doing rather than watching his stupid reality TV show. Same goes for Musk. These narcissists are just attention whores who are too pathetic to generate their own love so they steal it from you like vampires. Stop feeding the vampires.
