Not smart to keep illicit chemicals in your car.

I very much dislike Brand's politics, but he should not be penalized for them unless he violates clear YT guidelines.

When is YT gonna censor materialist scientists and atheists for spreading misinformation?

That's just not how it works. While there are many degrees and kind of higher consciousness, perhaps it is endless, it does not take that much consciousness to realize that you are God/Infinity. Higher infinities do not negate God, they are just deeper aspects of God. Cantor's notion of infinities only applies very loosely here. Actual Infinity is quite different from Cantor's notions.

The UK gov is ridiculous here. Of course Rumble will not remove him. No. The issue is that Brand's YT content has nothing to do with sexual assault. What he did 10 years ago is not relevant to his YT channel today.

@Tanz 1) But all those factors are highly relevant. 2) HIV transmits more through anal sex regardless. Sometimes stereotypes exist for good reason. If your gay friends are offended by the facts that's their problem.

You can train yourself to be very relaxed and to not think as you approach. Part of it involves building up your state. Once you are very experienced at game you won't even think before talking to a girl.

@Razard86 That post was venty. If only you knew the kind of vents I wrote which I never published.

So, I finally got around to watching the documentary. Pretty clear that he was addicted to sex and pursued it shamelessly, which lead to various kinds of abusive and toxic situations. There's not much to argue about here. The only question is, can he be legally charged for any of it? What I found most interesting is that basically Russell Brand seems to have lost all of his top-tier media gigs years ago in the UK and even in Hollywood because of his toxic, wild, and unprofessional behavior. Which explains why he transitioned to Youtube. I have always wondered why such a big name celebrity is dicking around on Youtube rather than starring in large Hollywood roles. Now it makes sense. He became radioactive after #MeToo -- a legal nightmare for studios.

That's because you're very unconscious.

That's certainly not how consciousness works. What I am teaching is NOT about exploring exotic experiences for shits and giggles. What I teach is about comprehension of the deepest levels of Consciousness. You don't even understand that Consciousness is capable of such things. There's no human map which explains what Consciousness can really do.

None

I don't claim to be in any final state. That's part of the whole enlightenment/Buddhist/nondual paradigm which I reject. I reject that anyone on this planet is in any kind of top-most or final state. That's not how Consciousness works. That's exactly how it works. And sure, there's consciousness higher than what I have presently accessed. And? Would you rather reach level 1, 100, or 1000 in your life? It's easily possible since Consciousness can take on infinite kinds of states. Not just degrees, entire new kinds.

Anxiety is normal, you just have to stop thinking and do it anyway. It really helps if you learn to completely shut off your mind during the approach. But this requires a lot of training. You won't be able to do it as a newbie. During approach your greatest enemy is your own mind. So shutting it down is the key.

Do you understand that it usually takes an intellectual years to develop and publish ground-breaking new theory? Go look at how long it took Darwin to develop evolution.

Your question is far too general to have a proper answer. It all depends on your place in the world and your situation. And there are many trade-offs. Somethings are better and some things are worse. Income inequality has gotten worse, for example. But technology has gotten so much better. The tools for making stuff are so much better: like software and hardware.

I'm not venting, I'm pointing out traps to you and to science.

Because a scientist like Penrose will himself admit that he is interested in solving these deep existential questions. It's not like I forced Penrose into this. P.S. I hate you

That's not what the apology sounded like. It sounded like he was apologizing for being forceful with her.

@Jodistrict How do you explain Russell's own texts apologizing to the allegedly raped girl the next day?

He's not smart about the Christianity part. Just because Roger Penrose is wrong doesn't mean Christians are right. The only thing that Christians are right about, pretty much, is that God exists. The rest is their human BS.

I don't have a sex trafficker shadow. I just recognize that sex trafficking is a crime and causes needless suffering. You make it sound like I'm out there hunting sex traffickers with a bow & arrow. Any decent person understands that what Andrew Tate was doing is deeply unethical and problematic, and should not be allowed in society.

Seems like AI will be dominated the by big corps from the start. So that's a bad example.

What I loved most about the 90s ans 00s was the rise of computers and the internet. The days before the internet was dominated by tech giants, there seemed like endless opportunity for the little guy. Many of those opportunities are gone now.
