Yeah, well, I have a right to twist things however I want. I twisted it for a reason: because SD is misleading when it comes to understanding the highest levels of human consciousness. I am not loyal to any model or to Beck. I teach whatever I feel is most helpful for people to grow to their highest level. Beck does not get to say what I can and cannot say about SD. He could make his own videos if he wanted. And trademarking the name of a scientific model is a dick move. Imagine if I started teaching some new perspective on General Relativity and then Albert Einstein trademark striked me for it. Calling Ken Wilber stage Red is not perfectly reasonable. Beck had some serious biases. I am not the only one who twisted SD. Ken Wilber felt the need to do so too because he saw its limits at the higher stages.

Locked for low quality.

By that logic abortion is just survival The only species I know that considers itself important is humans.

I am very sensitive to noise. I use cheap foam earplugs much of the day in my house to get total silence. Eliminate airplane noise, car noise, biker noise, distractions, lawnmowers, leaf-blowers, etc. Perfect for meditation, contemplation, and work. I've worn them for years. Foam earplugs work best. Buy a giant box of them.

Yeah, that's a big struggle for us introverts. Extroverts have a much easier time just talking random bullshit. Here are a few tips: Talk about yourself. Talk about your ideas and feelings. Ask less questions, make more statements. Tell little stories from your life. Talk about topical stuff from the news. Read a bit of news before you go out. Or pop-culture news. Make up some assumptions about them like, "You look like you're from California". It doesn't have to make any sense or be accurate. Make observational comments: "Your dress reminds me of Pocahontas."

Two can play this game. If it's wrong to a kill a child, is it not wrong to kill an ant? What is the principle distinction between a human and ant? What's the difference? Why is it okay in the later cases and not the former cases?

It's hard to complete basic life functions on mushrooms. I once tried to record my mushroom trip and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to press the record button on my camera. Logical stuff stops making sense. You'd die pretty fast if you were on a permanent mushroom trip.

Not sure what to say about it. I have mixed feeling about him because of his support for Trump, denouncement of Ken Wilber, and trademark striking my Turquoise video.

Def psychedelics will show you the deepest self acceptance possible. But you will also have to do manual work and development. Material success doesn't really affect your self-acceptance much. It's more like a band-aid over a deep wound. You need deep inner work. Which is not to say you shouldn't pursue material success. Material success is a good thing, just don't expect it to heal your psyche.

Well, that's why I would never date nevermind marry a stage Blue girl. Too much dogma. Not worth dealing with. But also I think you are overstating it. There must be Orange and Green girls in India.

1) Big cities in India must have nightclubs, bars, and a liberal social scene. 2) Yes, dating in deeply stage Blue societies is more formal and challenging. Casual dating isn't so acceptable there. You need a stage Orange society to do dating effectively. Dating is a stage Orange notion. Pickup advice is not geared towards places like India, it's geared towards Western parts of the world. Obviously you cannot go to a tribe in the Amazon and start running game or setting up coffee dates. When in Rome you must do as the Romans or they might kill you. 3) Move to where dating is socially acceptable.

Jerking off is older than human civilization.

Obviously. You can also get a sense of how much its working. Yes. How do you know it's working?

Oh damn!

Yup

Same thing. God is just a deeper insight into the nature of what Being is. It's easier to realize Being than it is to realize God. Realizing Being is like a fish in water realizing water. Realizing God is like a fish in water realizing the whole ocean as one giant superorganism created by its own mind.

No

Shows us just how silly this idea is that conservatives think you can stop a mass shooter in body armor by arming a few civilians.

Nevada = Vegas. And Vegas folk are fun-loving and don't have a stick up their ass. Many of them are from Cali too.

The point is to enjoy the process. You will never reach some destination where everything will be happily ever after. Drop that notion. And stop making excuses not to talk to girls. Love life. Do things you love, not because you are aping some YTber. Also, don't discount your huge progress so easily. You're 22. You're basically a child. And stop envying those dumb girls. Their lives are awful. Appreciate what you have built in your life and never throw it away for some dumb girl.

I don't know what will work for you. Experiment.

You are God imagining that humans invented/discovered mathematics.

No. There is no substitute for the underlying chemistry. Mushrooms are crazy powerful. If you were able to get that effect sober you would be classified as insane. If you want the effect of mushrooms, take mushrooms.

You want to be sure the chelation is working. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time and money. Keep in mind that the food you eat and water you drink is going to have heavy metals in it too, which you're gonna be pissing out. So it's good to get a control for that. Your body may even be naturally chelating some metals. Proper scientific experiment requires a control. Having a control creates peace of mind, otherwise you could always be doubting.

You will get far more value from talking to girls at the club than you will reading Nietzsche. At least when you go to the club you are not mentally masturbating.
