  1. Rest assured that your hope is not misplaced. Sam Harris is a fool and has no idea what Awakening is. So in that respect you are right. However a guy like Maharashi is saying something extremely profound. It's not an issue of no-self, it's an issue of realizing that you are God. If you want to understand what you're missing, try some 5-MeO-DMT. P.S. You are also not conscious of the insight of no-self. You have to be very careful with turning these things into concepts, which is the stage you're at.
  2. Every major institution will have corruption issues, and they will be greatest in areas where survival is most at stake. It's precisely because policing is so rough that corruption is common. Of course corruption needs to be tackled. But this ironically requires better funding of police. The worse you fund them, the more pressure they will have to be corrupt.
  3. You probably need to find a private doctor. This will not be covered by insurance. You can find private doctors who special in holistic medicine, functional medicine, and alternative types of medicine. Such doctors are very common in the US. Not sure about Philippines. They are easily found on Yelp.com
  4. Be careful with overly idealistic thinking. Your plan has to be strategic and workable in the real world of business. Rapping is highly competitive and you must bring serious skill to the table in order to have any chance of making money there. Realistically no one is going to give you any breaks or record labels. To get a record label as a rapper I imagine you already have to be very popular and successful on your own. Don't expect anyone else to make you successful. No one is going to bring you business or make you popular. You must do that yourself. And if you don't know how, then you will not succeed. This is the proper realistic attitude. You must treat business seriously. This ain't Disneyland. Whatever your plans, they must work in the real world of dollars.
  5. I just cannot listen to a single thing Shaprio says seriously. He's so childishly biased. His political analysis is a joke.
  6. If all GOP candidates where highly qualified, experienced, intelligent, and integrous, then there would have been a red wave. But also, there would be no threat to democracy. The threat is precisely their buffoonery.
  7. Because they are not obvious buffoons and much of the country is stage Blue/Orange.
  8. I found him more intelligent than Shapiro. Shapiro is just so blatantly ideological and partisan.
  9. Destiny is still immature in plenty of ways, but he truly has some Yellow perspectives on politics. He's not merely spiteful towards progressives. His spite stems from seeing the limitations of peak Green and wanting a more integral approach.
  10. If Walker was half-sane, he would have won. Him losing is the lowest possible bar.
  11. I had a friend and coaching client from Lebanon who I coached for over a year. His dream was to become a video game developer. He did it. He built his design skills working on games in Lebanon and then got hired by a game studio in Florida who paid for his visa. If you got the skillz, companies will be happy to pay for your work visa. Although I guess these days lots of people just work remotely. But you can even use that to your advantage.
  12. That's not an agenda. That's just the level of development of Silicon Valley and the tech world. Techy people are quite socially liberal and pluralistic. That's not a bug, that's a feature. It's the same situation in academia. It's not that academia is corrupt or biased, it's that academia attracts more intelligent people, which tend to have higher stages of development and therefore vote more liberal. This is a natural development asymmetry. Higher stages of development are not symmetrical with lower. People in power will have higher stages of development and will be more liberal than the population they have power over. This is not a mistake. Leadership and high-functioning requires higher stages of development. You cannot run a company like Google or Microsoft at a stage Red or Blue level of development. Google & Microsoft are at minimum stage Orange+ companies. If they were less, they couldn't be as successful and big as they are. Which is why you don't see companies like Google in Iran or even Alabama. It's not an accident that the biggest tech companies were founded in the most liberal parts of the world, like California and Washington. Yeah, people who live in California are very progressive. This should surprise no one. But pluralism is exactly what's necessary for a healthy social media platform.
  13. Spirituality & politics are pretty far removed from each other, so many spiritual people actually have awful politics. A lot of spiritual people are anti-vaxxers and the like. Most popular spirituality is just New Age dogma.
  14. I posted a video interview of him on my blog about 2 months back. It's quite good. Check it out. This is an error on your part. If you want to be truly openminded then you cannot let petty human emotional reactions influence your investigations of reality. Being openminded means thinking about all sorts of ugly things. Look, I never said Prager was some genius. He's locked deep in stage Blue, and those limitations will be obvious to you. He says plenty of unintelligent things. However, he is a good example of an intelligent and consistent stage Blue conservative. He is not merely some MAGA moron. He has put a lot of thought into this conservativism.
  15. I think he is brainwashing a lot of young people with conspiratorial garbage.
  16. @StormLight If you have proof that I am a pedophile feel free to post it. Otherwise pipe down and have the decency not to defame me. Muster enough intelligence to realize that calling people pedophiles without proof is the lowest form of demonization.
  17. Bret def has Yellow, but he has become self-deceived as a political reactionary. His inability to integrate Green has derailed his fuller development into Yellow. Like JP, he's too distracted fighting Greens to the point where he debases himself. His takes on Covid are just wrong.
  18. Try using humility
  19. Now you are ready to appreciate my video: How To Escape Wage Slavery P.S. Policing can be very meaningful and worth taking a bullet for. But only if it is meaningful to you. If you don't find a job meaningful you shouldn't be doing it. That's what it all boils down to.
  20. 1) By starting a biz 2) There are hundreds of courses, products, and seminars which teach marketing.
  21. Why are you searching for pedophile logos on Google? Why do you even know that pedophiles have logos? Perhaps you're a pedophile?
