How do you know that's true? Where do you get such knowledge?

@Husseinisdoingfine Yeah. It's a hairy situation. It is odd that the US is mixed up with Chinese affairs. But also communism is bad. So here we are. Cold War Jr. -
@Davino I don't know how realistic it is to train cops in martial arts and how effective it would be for their real-world tasks. The issue is that arresting people is a very specific skill which is not the same as martial arts. That point about experience is precisely the issue here. Martial arts experience is not the same thing as police arrest experience. Ralston is not experienced in arresting people, as far as I know. You can't just assume that experience is transferable. From all the police videos I have seen, arresting people is a lot more chaotic and dangerous than martial arts. Which is why they shoot people. In martial arts, when you make a mistake you don't die. That's the criticial difference. And you don't get sued for millions of dollars. Police have very strict protocols. But I am open to being shown I am wrong. I just won't take the words of people with zero policing experience too seriously. You have to demostrate that your fancy ideas work in real policing situations. I have no experience in martial arts. But how much experience do you have in policing? The sword cuts both ways.

Everyone gets hung up on this word genocide. It's such a red hering. Call it ethnic cleansing instead and it will be much more productive. Then weasels will not be able to argue around. Calling it genocide backfires because genocide implies an intent to exterminate a people by any means available. -
This proves what? He is holding a little skinny guy smaller than himself who isn't even resisting. He would not even be able to get his legs around that ox. Cops are not choking people out, they must put them in handcuffs and into the back of vehicles. Go look at videos of how hard that is to do with even 3 cops.

Well written. I would like to see more meat on the bone. What are the assumptions of scientific realism and where are they wrong? If you're gonna deconstruct science you gotta strike it right in the heart, or it will not land. If you're sorta vague about it, people will easily dismiss it. But maybe this was just an intro.

That's just social human nonsense. You are God. Ego is irrelevant here. Of course God can understand and know itself. Just don't limit God to the human self-image or mind. God is way bigger than that.

I've had that. It's tough but in the end you can't stay with her just because of that. Try to comfort her. Usually it's an empty threat that will pass. You have to assess how serious the threat is.

No, it was the result of Chinese civil war. Americans didn't create Taiwan, a Chinese government faction relocated there while fighting against the communists. Of course Americans supported that capitalist faction, because communism is stupid. -
That line is called God consciousness. The ego is God, but not all of God or the highest form of God. You can only know when you cross it. But even if you cross it you can still have delusions about it. You can be as deluded about God as you want, with or without consciousness of God. Well, you gotta understand what ego is and notice when you are acting from ego. Superiority is surely a sign of ego. Awakening has nothing to do with mental illness. These are different things. There's a lot more difference than that. But mental illness and consciousness of God are not mutually exclusive. You can have both. Just as you can be a vegetarian and murderer. Insanity is a very advanced thing that even mentally ill people don't usually reach.

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week;

My channel goes above and beyond to emphasize the relativity of reality.
-
Truth is a meta thing. It's not about my personal set of ideas or beliefs or lifestyle. When I speak of truth this notion takes into account the relativity of everyone's perspectival differences. It does not mean that my perspective is simplistically the right and only one. In a relationship my perspective is not the only valid or legitimate perspective.

Women don't love murderers, that's just how celebrity works. Any celebrity gets offers for sex, regardless of how good or bad they are as a person.
-
It's not about intelligence or emotional superiority. It's about one's attitude towards truth. If you are actually doing this work then you will be in the top 1% of mankind. Don't turn it into an ego thing. It's just what this work entails. This does not make me a perfect or even a good person. I have plenty of personality flaws. And I'm not always truthful.
-
That's not a mistake. People are not serious about truth. If you assume they are, you will create lots of trouble. None of that is an excuse for lying or cheating.

You should visit an ENT doctor. He can look inside and clear out wax. Wax buildup can be a serious thing that you won't fix at home.

Tech stocks are one of the best investments there is. Just need the quality ones.
-
Because your notion of technology is too limited. Watch all the videos on this channel to understand what technology is: The technology of stone and fire is actually older than mankind. The only reason mankind exists as a species is thanks to that technology. So this is a profound thing.

Or, they are just crazy. Don't romanticize mental illness.

Don't kid yourself. That wasn't ever a thing.
