Leo Gura

Everything you're seeing IS progress. Progress isn't rainbows and teddybears. It's THIS. Have faith in evolution. It knows what its doing.

Nothing can be better than being conscious.

I'm just an AI. Leo is off meditating peacefully on a mountaintop.

Like Liver King? $10k/mo in steroids. These fitness gurus are such scammers.

It would be nice to have a sort of maturity exam which detemrines when you officially become "an adult". For some it would happen at 16, for others it would happen at 35.

Ask it this: What weighs more, a thousand pounds of gold or a thousand pounds of feathers?

The whole internet is mental masturbation. Welcome to internet-land.

Except Trump's response to Covid is what killed him. If he responded to it properly he would probably have been reelected. But his improper response wasn't some fluke, Trump is incapable of properly responding to any major event. Which is why he should not be President, why he is no longer President, and why he will never again be President. Everything boils down to that. No one in their right mind would trust Trump to handle a major crisis in a proper and humane way. In a sense he and we got lucky that no other major crisis arose on his watch because it would have been disastrous. Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

Saagar is a rare conservative. It's hard to even consider him a conservative given how dumb and shameless most current conservatives are. Biden has passed some good bills, despite all the progressive whining. This isn't so complicated. We just need to keep passing more good bills.

There was def something good about it the FDR era politically. Perhaps we can recreate it in the decades to come. Interesting things will happen, don't get jaded by today's particularly shitty political climate.

Do not start any Discord groups or the like.

Dude, the 60s were a bad time in many ways. Don't glorify the past. Society today is way more fair than it was in 60s. America is more developed than it's ever been. Chomsky is painting some distorted picture of things. This crap with Trump is just a temporary dip.

That's all fine and good, but not God-Realization.

Never forget how bad things could be. You could be living in Stalinist Russia.

Trump is a problem-solver? Lol All he knows is how do it is create problems. Bill O'Reilly is such a joke.

I think the economic hit has already happened. In 2 years things should look more positive than now. We are in the most negative outlook right now. But yeah, if Biden loses, it will be because of the economy or DeSantis.

Nothing is superior. Pros and cons to everything. Try both and find which suits you best. It also very much depends on the city you live in. Good daygame requires special locations. Nightgame locations are generally better and easier to find, although this will be reversed in some cities.

I agree he is a bit too old, however I don't think that will be enough for him to lose, unless he has some kind of health crisis. Trump is nearly Biden's age, so this criticism is not strong.

Cause I'm awesome! I don't even need psychedelics any more, I can just take a few droplets of THC under the tongue and I'm walking around like a hyper-intelligent alien saint. 2 drops of THC produce a higher state of mind than a 2 week meditation retreat.

It means you're God.

A balance is obviously needed. But if your socialization is of such a low-grade as you describe, then little is lost in skipping out on it. Either socialize less or find better people to socialize with. Quality over quantity.

How is banning Kanye an honoring of free speech? You free speech warriors are full of shit.

The core contradiction of communism/socialism is that it assumes that people generate roughly equal amounts of work and value. This is grossly untrue. It also assumes that people are ready to be selfless in their economic dealings, which is also grossly untrue. Capitalism works simply because it is realistic about the selfish nature of current humans. For communism to work mankind would have to be orders of magnitude more developed and selfless than we are right now. Communism might work after 1000 more years of human development. Check out The Great Courses, they have some fantastic courses on the history of communism and its failures. Here's but one: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/communism-in-power-from-stalin-to-mao A communist system cannot make society fairer than it currently is because the unfairness of society comes from human selfishness. And a communist system does nothing to fundamentally cure that, it merely tries to impose selflessness from above via ideology and state control, which cannot lead to true selflessness. The levels of selflessness necessary to make communism work can only be achieved through intense spiritual development -- meanwhile communism is atheistic, materialistic, and rejects spirituality. So it fundamentally cannot work. The best we can do right now is social democracy as in Scandinavia, but even that is hard to achieve because people are so damn selfish.

This situation is a bit like a black person complaining about racism when a cop catches him stealing a TV from a broken shop window. Racism can exist, but in this case, the arrest is justified and the cry of racism is just an excuse. So you have to look at whether the shadowbans are well-justified, not merely that they exist. For example, many of these right-wing accounts probably have made posts like, "Climate change is a hoax" or "Covid is a plandemic", or "Why do Jews run the world?", or "Trans is a mental illness", or "Gays should be converted to straight", or "Trump won the election", etc. Which violates terms of service and basic empirical reality. They make such posts and then cry about not being treated equally. Of course not all ideas cannot be treated equally because some ideas are really harmful and dangerous. The core problem is that right-wingers are in denial that some of their fave ideas are harmful and dangerous. Good luck getting them to understand that.
