Your mind is hallucinating science. And Quantum Dave is a fool. -
You don't get over it. You just force yourself to approach anyway. It's like you're going to the gym and asking "How do I get over my muscles burning?"

I don't know, but most importantly you should keep digging deep and doing your own research on your condition. Research your condition deeper than any doctor has. Then you will be in a good position. And of course, look for better doctors with different perspectives.

Look man, the mistake you're making is that you expect to get philosophical depth from human interaction. Stop trying to do that. Get your philosophical depth from private contemplation and solititude, and then use social interaction for casual fun and entertainment, a palette-cleanser from private contemplation. Girls are not on this Earth to blow your mind with deep conversation. They're here to be cute and playful and raise your children. Learn to use them appropriately. Entertainment is a waste of time but also important. Not all of your time can be about work and seriousness.

There is serious academic literature that studies and explains the nature of fundamentalism. It's called The Fundamentalism Project and they have a series of 6 academic level books: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/series/FP.html Maybe you should read them before mouthing off at me.

Of course! Ta-daaaa! Which is why the wise are celibate hermits.

Great. But this is the problem. Because in the end he will side with Trump over Biden. It's the same old shit that people like Joe Rogan or Krystal Ball do. They talk a bunch, and end up voting against Biden at the end of it all. I am done taking such people seriously. -
Fundamentalism is a reaction to secularism and progressivism.

Bingo. The Devil is a businessman.

The scam will simply look like another crypto hype cycle, like the last one. Everyone will get convinced that Bitcoin is going to $150k, and then it will crash.
-
You are using two different meanings of the word "colonized".
-
Look, bro, I know all that. You're not presenting me with any new facts here. That was an unsustainable thing, and it is not equivalent to solid development level. Development level is a lot deeper than wearing bikinis.
-
To be clear, I still predict that Bitcoin will break $100k someday.
-
Certainly not. This is the Middle East. Their lack of development is centered around fundamentalist Islamist culture and poor geography. Development is too serious an issue to blame on any external enemy, no matter how dispicable that enemy was.

He is an amazing communicator and he has appeal in Middle America. He is not a West Coast leftist. He has that Bill Clinton charm. He's very likeable. -

Pete is the best face gays could hope for as VP. Like how Obama was for blacks. They are both impressive enough to transcend their category. Pete is not there because he is gay, he is there based on his skills and just happens to be gay, which is perfect. Pete is perfect for that role. -

I have a feeling RFK will end up teaming up with Trump or endorsing Trump. RFK is shameless. He is not to be trusted here. -
That wasn't a derailment, that was my core point. I am not. I fully acknowledge that the West exploits 3rd world nations. The point is that this exploitation is not the primary cause for their lack of development. Europeans exploited Native Americans but Native Americans were underdeveloped to begin with. European exploitation did not cause their lack of development. The Saudi Royal family has extracted trillions from their own people. This does not change my point.

If Kamala wins that's gonna be a problem for Newsom because he won't be able to run in 2028. That's a long time to wait for him. -
Thinking is not rude.

Newsom looks like the guy from American Psycho mixed with a bald eagle. -
Think harder.

Law and Order! Lock him up! -

That's a bad idea. -

Arnold would win in a landslide.
