Most parents will never feel comfortable. And they will teach unscientific red-neck crap. What conservative parents want is to indoctrinate their kids with their pet dogmas, fears, and prejudices.

It's the opposite for me. Curiosity in the spiritual domain can follow a U-shaped graph where it starts off high because you are so clueless, then as your mind gets filled with Buddhism, nonduality, and New Age crap it can drop down low because you think you've figured it all out, and then one day you smoke some salvia which bitchslaps you so hard you realize all that human spiritual stuff was just silly dogma and you go back to square one with not-knowing, and now you have real curiosity. The root solution is a profound realization of not-knowing and a pure love for Consciousness. See... the problem is that you think you actually know Consciousness. It takes a decade of work just to realize you don't.

@Something Funny If you make a lifelong habit of confronting your fears you will eventually become a badass motherfucker. You do not need to do the process perfectly. Even 70% will be good enough if you are consistent at it for years. Take the pressure off yourself to do it 100%.

There's a classic self-help book titled: Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway You don't need to read the book. Just the title.

Most illegals fly in. A wall against birds.

If you really love your dog you will kiss him on the ass hole.

I know what self and other are.

Excellent work! Now you're getting it.

It's like building an expensive wall against gophers.

You are focused in the wrong thing. SATs have no bearing on whether you will build a fulfilling life.

There can and there is. Nonduality is stupid and it is not Awakening.

Of course! Haha This is not license to be stupid though. You must be intelligent and pragmatic about actualizing your dreams.

It evolves to Awaken ever deeper.

I say that the entire function of evolution is Intelligence.

This whole issue is about who's allowed in the playground.

I just don't think AI will be that good. People have watched too much sci-fi and have unrealistic ideas about how AI will actually work.

God's game is 99% survival.

Better than sucking his dick. Spirituality is about finding the silver-lining

Not by sitting on your ass, collecting UBI checks, and playing Mario Kart all day. GOD will not abide this human laziness.

@evgn It's worse than that. Pickup requires delusional levels of optimism. Beyond anything reasonable or logical. Science itself is your enemy. You have to take on science and beat it to death with a baseball bat. Luckily for you, hots girls are not very scientific nor rational

If you believe an AI can do it then....

Whales actually do have a job. They keep the ecosystem balanced. And to the extent they don't, they will go extinct. Pretty soon they might not. - - - - - - Haven't you figured out yet that the universe is very efficient? It doesn't keep stuff around unless it serves some utility in its larger scheme. As soon as you become useless to the universe, it throws you into the recycle bin and uses your atoms to make something more useful.

@Husseinisdoingfine Stop letting your mind run wild with negative thoughts. Focus on the life you want to create, not on what others are doing.
