Not really true since the guy is legally obligated to pay child support. Guys don't want spare babies to support either. Getting the wrong girl pregnant can be worse than catching an STD. 1) That's what condoms are. 2) That's what vasectomy is. Firstly, you gotta make sure to keep working on yourself and embody a positive and constructive outlook. Then, you can do all sorts of stuff like vote, volunteer, donate, organize, protest, educate, and even run for office.

Look, the nature of democracy is majority rule. Not everyone can have their way.

All depends on you. For me waking up is the shit. You may feel otherwise. It's too profound to speak. If you understood it, your jaw would drop the floor.

Introverts live in their minds. My mind is more interesting than a nightclub.

The US has very strong minority protections. It's not like the minority will be enslaved.

DMT is most powerful of those 3 for me. However is LSD is also good because it gives you so much longer to contemplate. 10mins vs 5hrs. All 3 can take you there in their unique way. My pleasure. Use psychedelics and work with them methodically and consistently. You will be shown all the answers you seek. You don't even really need me after that. Yes, yes. Very good. Now you're really thinkin'. Where would be the fun in being born knowing everything? That's death

California and New York are currently getting fucked over. Why don't you care about that?

Here you'll want to distinguish relative truths vs absolute truth. Human knowledge is relative truth.

Well, actually it's God that's struggling to understand itself. God is dreaming and struggling to wake up. Ego is just God in a sleepy mode. Yes, a radical state change is needed. Yes Yes Ego is your biographical, finite sense of self. The self as something specific like a human living on a planet with memories of having been born from other humans. That's the core of ego: your biographical backstory. And then the True Self/God is Infinity.

@Tyler Robinson Neither. Check their site.

They got Cold Turkey for most devices.

The point of suffering is to wake you up. If that's not happening then you're doing it wrong

Yes, of course. That's the whole rub. You don't know what you are. That requires serious awakening. That's what ego is, a black hole of self-reference. Yes It answers it perfectly, it's just that you don't have a reference experience for what God means. It's like I'm telling you that reality is orange but you don't know what orange means cause you've never seen it. Think of it like this: There exists a universal Mind. This Mind is currently imagining your human life, thus materializing it. This Mind could imagine and materialize whatever it wants, but it just so happens to want what you are currently experiencing. This Mind is what is "holding" reality in place. Outside this Mind there is no reality because this Mind has no outside, because "outside" is imagined by this Mind. You are this Mind. However since this Mind is imagining a human life, you have mistaken yourself for the human it imagines. You forgot that you are pure Mind itself.

It takes way more than that to create a cult.

@KoryKat Since you're an extrovert you probably won't be satisfied being alone. Being alone comes naturally to introverts. But of course there is an existential issue here with facing boredom and aloneness. At the deepest level they are not easy to face, even for introverts. I easily get bored. That's something spiritual work helps address. Basically an introvert keeps himself entertained by creating a rich inner world that is way more interesting than the outer world. As an extrovert you probably haven't built such an inner world. Your inner world is lame so you turn to the outer world to titillate you.

Great share! That's an awesome plugin. Cold Turkey Blocker is another good one: https://getcoldturkey.com

If I vape DMT with e-liquid in a vape cart, I can feel it harm my lungs. If I vape DMT in a dab rig with no e-liquid, just pure DMT, I don't feel any damage to my lungs. That's my personal experience. Use introspection and feel into the harm which your vaping is causing.

Other countries have democracy where the majority gets its way, and have no such problem. The opposite is actually the case. Under minority rule democracy is corrupted and people grow more resentful to the point of destabilizing the country. It is not just or proper that the minor should elect a leader and the majority has to just put up with it.

Reality becomes however you hold it.

Depends on how you define "I".

So your solution is minority rule?? This logic is not only silly but disasterous. It's not merely that Blue states get a raw deal currently, even Red states with Blue city centers. Every major city in most Red states votes Blue. Their votes are not properly weighed.

There should be apps you can install that will limit how much time you can watch per day/week. Or only allow accessing YT during limited hours of the day, like 9pm-12am.

Young people have died from vaping e-liquid. I don't know of anyone who dies of smoking within 10 years. The wrong e-liquid is therefore worse than smoking. Remember, vaping has only existed for less than 10 years. Who knows what affect the vapor has on the lungs. It can't be good. When you vape certain e-liquids you can feel it hurting the lungs.

But you should be working on your epistemics while doing self-help work. You don't need to consume a bunch of political news to get your epistemics in place. Basically just vote for the most Spirally developed guy who has a chance of winning. That's the simple recipe for how to vote. You don't need to watch a bunch of political punditry. And in today's environment the recipe is even simpler: never vote Republican because they are totally morally bankrupt. So the only decision you should struggle with is moderate Dems vs progressives. And the only reason not to vote for progressives is if they seem unelectable in a general election.

It's not so odd. They endorse who they think has the best chance of winning. Bernie badly lost the south eastern states and so he became unelectable. Bernie only destroyed Biden in the Nevada primary. But that's not enough. I think you put too much blame on endorsements. Endorsements play some part but in the grand scheme of things they aren't so important. Yes, that happened in 2016. Well, yeah. Politics is the name of the game. You gotta win at politics here. It's not so clear Bernie would have beat Trump. You can't just take that for granted. And Hillary did beat Trump in popular vote. A big part of the problem is the electoral college system. It means Dems have to out-perform.
