You are dreaming. That's all there is to reality. And there is nothing outside this dream because "outsideness" is itself part of the dream. For a thing to exist is for it to be dreamt. Nothing exists but dreams.

That's NOT an assumption. That's literally absolutely true. Check.

No. After Kanye's rant, the Jewish meseum in LA was flooded with dead threats. Violence against minorities, gays, trans, Jews, and Asians has all skyrocketed since 2016. Hate crimes and mass shooters write manifestos says that their attacks were inspired by ideology they heard on Fox News, Alex Jones, or 4chan. Smearing gays as groomers and pedophiles causes people to die. You are not thinking about these issues seriously enough. You are treating this as mere philosophy or online word games. No. I posted a video on my blog a few months ago of a news story where a father killed his whole family because he thought they were part of the QAnon conspiracy. Anti-vaxx disinfo is precisely not science. Science is not powerful enough to combat rampant disinfo campaigns. That is not the job of scientists. I have no respect for common people's intelligence. Common people are morons who can be turned into Nazis by bad actors if given the chance. Just look at what Trump has done with MAGA.

Yeah, very interesting. China's stage Blue governance style will not hold forever.

Kanye West's anti-semetic rants. Right-wingers smearing gays as "groomers" and pedophiles. QAnon. Anti-vaxx disinformation. Climate change denial covertly funded by oil companies. Trump tweeting for a rally to storm the Capitol and deny election results. Tweets that deliberately mislead black voters about when and where to vote. You can use free speech to destroy legitmate governments, scam people out of billions, or incite terrorism. So this is not casual matter. You don't appreciate how serious this is. A company can lose a billion dollars just by someone tweeting false information. For example someone can tweet that McDonalds spit in their cheeseburger, and McDonalds will lose $10 billion overnight. Or someone could tweet a false rape accusation just to destroy a politican's reputation. It's a problem for everyone when Russian spy agencies manipulate US public opinion via Twitter in order to subvert democracy. What you refer to so dismissively as "elites" are often people how were legitmately democractically elected or are the most compentent people at their jobs.

Well, not that we are in the same position, but I get death threats and people ridicule, troll, and gaslighting me on a regular basis. To the point that I don't even share some of my deepest insights and ideas. As a trans person, just like as a public figure, you are just going to have to accept that you will receive harsher treatment and more shit from people than a normie. No platform can save you from that. Holding non-normie positions will get you haters. That's how society has always worked. We would all be killed for the positions we hold today 100 years ago. So don't take for granted how this stuff works and how serious it is. If you're gonna be on the cutting edge of social evolution you will have to endure a lot more shit than normal people. That's part of the challenge of evolving society. Trans folk will have to endure decades of non-acceptance before they are widely accepted. Because you are asking a billion people to change their minds on very fundamental issues just to accept you. I understand you just want to be accepted, but you must understand why that will not happen as readily as you demand. It's actually nothing personal. You are asking all of civilization to change to accomodate you. That's no easy thing.

Some ideas are dangerous. It's not just that ideas are shared, it's that bad actors spread discord, misinformation, and exploit free speech.

That's up to her to decide. If she likes you then she won't treat you like a spammer. And if she doesn't, then in her eyes you are one. Hence you should never get invested in any one girl until she sleeps with you.

Excellent! Yes, the map is not the territory. But keep going. There's much more to awaken to. You've only begun.

I'm not talking about conceptual 2nd order truth about some subject. I'm talking about 1st order Truth itself. Your field of experience is 1st order Truth. The question is, What is Truth?

Be careful not to get too idealistic about it. The basic fact is that survival is a dirty business. You can only clean it up so much. If you can offer someone a decent job, often that's better for them then anything else around. It's better than working in some Amazon warehouse and pissing in bottles. Just treat your employees decently and most of them will be grateful. As you become more successful and you treat your employees even better. But if you are not super profitable then don't worry about that too much right now. Offering someone a decent-paying job is not exploitation. This is a very bad idea from Marxist ideology. When it comes to worker-exploitation, that's usually done by giant corporations who deliberately squeeze employees to maximize profits. As long as you're not doing that, then you shouldn't feel bad. Basic fairness is all that workers really want.

Truth is just your experiential field. It could not be simpler. Don't make Truth into some kind of inaccesible abstraction. Look at your hand. That's Absolute Truth.

Me developing thicker skin on what issue? I have been forced to develop a lot of thick skin from people criticizing me on all sorts of issues. I force myself to endure perspectives here which I disagree with because I don't want to create an echo-chamber. Our general policy here is to control speech here as little as we can get away with, so that diverse perspectives are shared. I don't like blocking any perspective unless it is clearly toxic or in bad-faith. Or is just misinformation or dogma. - - - - - Anyhow, if you find content here that disturbs you, let me know and I will investigate it. If I think that it's harmful/toxic I will remove it. BTW, we issue warnings to people every week for vulgar posting. So it's not like people will get away with that here for long. Any genuine racist, homophobe, sexist, etc. will eventually get banned here. We have banned dozens of them.

Free speech absolutist types. No society/community has ever had absolute freedom of speech. Because it is too harmful and too easily exploitable. Every social space must have rules that everyone must follow. This is the basis for all civilization. This is not a mistake nor a violation, it's common sense and decency. All social spaces require observing basic decency. That's really all that moderation is meant to accomplish. But humans are so indecent that they struggle just to accept that.

If you find someone on this forum using hate speech or making violent gestures against minorities, or someone is bullying you, then report the incident to me and I will handle it. But if someone is just sharing a perspective you disagree with -- such as, there are only two genders -- that is not something we will moderate. You guys need to develop a thicker skin for handling contrary perspectives and philosophies.

You're lacking in nuance. If someone here is making threats of violence or using hateful slurs, they def get moderated. But if someone is just stating their philosophical position, that is legitamate, even if you don't like it. If hate speech is not being used and someone is presenting good-faith arguments, then I consider it fair for this forum. This is the point at which I do stand for free speech. This forum cannot just be a political echo-chamber. It's not necessairly about changing his mind, but about have discussions and people watch and learn.

The fact that you want the right to say anything regardless of considering how it affects others in your community just goes to show how juvenile and unintelligent you are. This lack of intelligence has become a disease.

What's missing in your understanding of this issue is that trans is a new topic for 99% of people in society. Their minds have to work to make sense of it. So it's very different from understanding cis gender. But also, the philosophy in the trans issue isn't really about trans people, it's about fundamental questions like what is a man and what is a woman? So yes, we are questioning cis too. And it also takes a lot of work to understand what it means to be a masculine man vs a feminine woman. None of this is obvious or easy. As far as that thread questioning black IQ, the thread was almost immediately locked by our Mods. Then I intentionly reversed the lock because I wanted to seriously engage the issue without simply shutting it down. We engaged the guy and it soon became clear to everyone that he had no good arguments or science to back up his claims. I think such discussions are much more fruitful and presuasive than just banning people or calling them racists. We had a good faith discussion. The guy was arguing in good faith, he wasn't just using racial slurs. Such people must be engaged in discussion. I am proud of that particular discussion.

I don't see how it will apply to this issue.

Obviously

Lolz. You guys are so silly.

@Someone here I tried to communicate with him about it. Communication with him became impossible. It was like talking to a robot. I have higher standards for Mods and spiritual teachers than I do for regular folk who just spout off about stuff. But even so, if I see consistent God-denial here, I will eventually kick those people out. I am ruthless about cutting through spiritual BS. That's part of what makes my work unique.

The problem is, virtually no one has even Awoken deeply enough for 1 minute. Yet they act like all that matters is permanence. You don't even know what consciousness is possible. You have vague fantasies, and all of them are nowhere near radical enough.

So much beating around the bush.

Such services exist and charge lots of money. I see them advertised in airline magazine all the time. Usually it works the other way around: quality women selected by trusted experts for men.
