Most of the people who you hate and disagree with are not psychopaths, they just have a different worldview and survival agenda than you.

We discussed it plenty.

Because, survival.

He was banned years ago. He is unsufferabley dense and egotistical.

Someone here please promise me that you will screenshot that entire RationalWiki page and read it in full at my funeral. This will make my life complete.

I suspected as much.

The best part of the article: Rationality eating its own tail

I may engage with serious critics in the future. But I have to see that they are serious and really want to understand the work. Not just looking to stir outrage like Adeptus likes to do. He can't help himself. He's just ignorant about spirituality. If someone like Curt Jaimungal wants to question me for 5 hours specifically about the dangers of my work, I am happy to answer.

I get thousands of emails that I don't have time to read. I assume they emailed me. But if the New York Times was writing an article about me and emailed me, I would not read it.

1) Of course these types of articles will come out. I fully expect it. This one wasn't even so bad. In the future there will be much worse articles that accuse me of everything from pedophilia to racism to Nazism and more. An eager critic can cherrypick things I have said to make me look like a monster. And of course they will jump on the opportunity to do that simply out of ignorance. 2) I have no interest in explaining myself to someone like Adeptus. Locking the thread also makes it look like we are a cult shutting down all criticism. The issue with these kinds of accusations is that you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. You can't win. It's a classic political smear. The accusation is enough to do the damage and then you waste your time on top of that trying to defend against it, which just makes you seem more guilty in the eyes of clueless on-lookers. I am happy to let my work speak for itself. Anyone who watches my videos seriously will understand. And those who just cherrypick a few sharp comments from my 35,000+ forum responses will never understand. I don't even consider my forum responses to be part of my canon of work. These are just casual, off-hand comments. The work itself is in the videos.

So I read the article. The issue is that my teachings were simply never designed or intented for people with mental health issues or suicidal tendencies. I discourage such people from listening to my deepest work. My work has never encouraged suicide, just the opposite. No mentally healthy person listening to my work would get the idea that I am suggesting you commit suicide. AT ALL. To suggest otherwise is simply dishonest. The thrust of my work has always been about prodding people into living with passion. But this is completely ignored by naysayers and critics. I don't sell a suicide course, I sell a life purpose course. I don't talk about suicide almost ever. Also, what the author does not understand or acknowledge is that all spiritual work is psychologically dangerous and easily misinterpreted by the ego-mind. This doesn't make it a cult, it's just how serious spiritual work is. But normies do not appreciate this. They expect spirituality to be sweet and non-threatening. Yes, psychedelics are dangerous when misused. I have warned of this many times. Yes, my teachings are definitely all about undermining your sense of reality. If you don't like that or can't handle that, then don't listen to them. If you listen to me long enough your whole sense of reality will be destroyed. This is a feature, not a bug. You have to decide for yourself whether you can handle that. I cannot decide this for you. A YT channel and an online forum does not constitute a cult. Nothing is "out of control" here. There is no risk of this place losing control and becoming a cult. I would never allow that and on one else has the Admin rights necessary to pull that off. If you think that I have built a cult here, you're really insulting my ability to build a cult. If I wanted to build a cult it would be bigger than Osho's. And if I was teaching people who to commit suicide, I would have 100s of suicides to my name.

A private forum is not a country. Very big difference there. Even though I can dictate this forum, I cannot dictate your whole life, but a country can. Hence democracy is much more fundamental to a country than to this forum.

This is what happens when you watch too much Sadhguru. Hairy witch girlfriend

Because she will say no. If you make girls feel like sluts the universe will punish you for it.

I still cum harder than ever. I still connect with the girl more than ever. Solipsism doesn't make anything less enjoyable.

You shouldn't explicitly ask girls for sex. If you don't vibe with her you shouldn't be sleeping with her.

Just fuck her real good and don't worry about it. Focus your mind on that which you can control. When you are fucking her, make her say, "My pussy belongs to you. Nobody will ever fuck my pussy like you." Pull out of her and don't fuck her until she says it. Then fuck her brains out after she says it. Keep doing that. She will fall in love with you real hard.

When the first McDonalds opened in Moscow we would stand in line for 5 hours to get in.

Godspeed to you guys.

Tone down the rhetoric in this thread or it will be locked down. Stop the personal sniping.

@MarkKol Reducing life to pure utility -- that's your mistake. People care more about art than they do technology. The technology is there to serve the art. People care more about their fave rapper than they care about their toaster.

That's not how awakening works.

That is not right either.
