He gets many things right in general. However he does not understand that consciousness is Infinity, so his models are ultimately not the highest understanding. Remember, consciousness is not a model and all your models will ultimately fall way short. Take what's good in his work but then go for God-Realization.

It's not at all clear how all this works.

Of course. Because your life has no meaning. You haven't created anything worth getting up for. When you find something meaningful to work towards you will leap out of bed. You will be unable to sleep. You will wake up 3hrs early excited to get to work.

Early on it was scary.

What you describe are the problems of excessive capitalism and wealth inequality. Trump is a corrupt toxic capitalist. So he will only make those problems worse. He has already promised all his major billionaire donors big tax cuts. So under Trump the rich will get richer at the expense of you and me. If you think Trump will save you from the evils of toxic stage Orange, you are beyond delusional. Trump is the epitome of the problem you want him to solve. He has zero capacity to solve that problem. Or really any problem. Because all he cares about is grabbing as much power for himself as possible and using it to enrich himself. If you cannot see that you are a fool and you deserve him to scam you. Trump's policies will easily lead to a big market crash, as W Bush did in 2008. That's how excessive Orange works. They run up the market until everything crashes and the rich walk away with the profits. The little guys, including all his MAGA supporters will end up screwed and worse off in the end. That is Trump's con. And it's obvious as day to anyone with a bit of wisdom. Trump will deregulate all the markets, allowing giant Wall Street monopolies, banks, and hedge funds to buy up more and more houses, push up prices, and extract ever higher rents until home ownship becomes impossible for anyone other than multi-millionaires. You don't care about anything other than money. And neither does Trump and his Wall Street friends. The only difference is, they will fuck you because they are large and you are tiny. So in the end they will steal your money. That is the whole Orange game.

I'd like to make a thread that shares and explores exotic cultures around the world, in the spirit of raising our openmindedness to and appreciation of the rich cultural diversity beyond standard vanilla Western culture. There are many great examples to be shared. Stuff like this: I want to see examples here of exotic and weird cultural norms and habits.

Do you not remember the Muslim ban? Trump's literal border idea was to dig a mote and stock it with crocodiles. Biden didn't start any wars. Biden is just reacting to stuff that would have arisen under Trump, and Trump would react to it even worse. All of Trump's policies are based in a profound ignorance of things work. Trump is fundamentally too ignorant to create effective solutions to any serious social problems.

Only because you want to.

This is not a point in your favor, it is a point against you. When are you guys gonna learn that all the stuff you've heard of, all the stuff that is most popular and well-known, is not the best, it's merely what the ignorant masses think is best because they are too lazy to actually seek out the best. The most advanced humans in the world no one has ever heard of.

I just finished listening to that and was gonna share it. It's a surprising deep discussion.

@Past-Philosopher-562 I suggest you invest less time theorizing about it and more time actually gaining new experience and gaining confidence is particular areas of relevence to you. You can theorize about it afterwards.

Inflation would have happened under any president. Inflation happened all across the world and Europe got it worse than the US. Blaming this on Biden and thinking that Trump would have somehow magically fixed it is just an absurd form of cope. There is nothing Trump would have done, or will do to ease inflation. And mistakes or problems under Biden, Trump will make them bigger and worse. Gaza will be worse. Taxes will be worse. Immigration will be worse. Free speech will be worse. Healthcare will be worse. Envirnment will be worse. Infrastructure will be worse. Foreign policy will be worse. Courts will be worse. Justice system will be worse. Diplomacy will be worse. Market crashes will be worse. Inflation will be worse. Corruption will be worse. Green forms of Christianity exist. Be careful not to oversimplfy religion to just Blue.

That's particular to you. Come up is highly enjoyable for me.

That is because I optimized my early work for search. I was an SEO master. But I stopped doing that long ago.

@bammy32 I think he's fallen hard into the issue of audience capture, similar to Jimmy Dore. Once you start playing a successful YT character then that character could become the real you. If you play the dancing monkey for strangers long enough eventually you will become the dancing monkey that at first was just your shtick. And remember, nobody is a solid Spiral color. People live and express across multiple stages.

Then you shouldn't be reading books.

You made this thread but didn't even watch the video?

That's actually an amazing story. I did the 100 questions exercise from my Life Purpose Course, where you write down your top 100 questions you want answers to most badly. My #1 question was: What is consciousness? So the next day I went to Amazon and typed in What is consciousness? and Ralston's book was the first to appear. And as soon as I saw its title I immediately knew this was the most serious book on this topic. And so it was. That is the power of asking good questions.

Nothing wrong with going to a strip club. In fact you should do it more often just to practice talking to hot girls.

Of course not everything about progressivism is stupid. It has to be approached intelligently, with a certain sense of proportion. Certain progressive ideas are good and important, but it's also about being aware of how best to get others onboard with those ideas, rather than just moralize at them with pipe-dreams.

That is something you should contemplate and answer for yourself, not based on anyone's words.

They are so idealistic that they would rather not vote for Biden than do what is practically needed. Precisely because they are brainwashed with moral idealism, utopianism, and progressivism. Progressivism is a mental cancer that makes people say and do stupid things in the name of social equality. None of these people is thinking deeply about how society works. They are pushing their utopian agenda because they don't understand the complexties of human behavior and they just naively want a nice world.

The one thing that is lacking in all spiritual books is a dime-bag of 5-MeO-DMT.

That is, until a unicorn stabs you in the ass. Then you have a rude Unicorn Awakening. A unicorn is not a belief, it is Consciousness.

Yes Not particularly unique. All spiritual teachings have that personal dev component to some degree because all people gotta figure out how to live better. All religions teach you about God, but then they also teach you how best to live to align with God. Because you'll never find God if you live like a pig. What's unique about my work is the amount of practical stuff we interconnect with metaphysical stuff.
