  1. Its important to be nuanced about that I think, you dont know a muslim womans story so you shouldnt think off the bat that she is being oppressed, some people are just deeply religious. Personally I dont like that women have to cover their beautiful faces but thats none of my fucking business.
  2. Its not necessarily fake news, Its also how they paint a situation and what they leave out of the story, and how much of their own opinion they put into it. I definitely wouldnt call CNN fake news, fake news is more like Breitbart and Infowars, you can tell just by visiting the front page on Breitbart that they have a far-right agenda.
  3. Theyre decent I guess but I dont watch them, I dont need to, there are much better news sites out there. But if I want to get a gist of a situation theyre okay, for in depth analysis? No.
  4. Depends on which media. For example I wouldn't trust Fox News because theyre heavily biased but I would trust Reuters because theyre very objective. But it depends on what I want, sometimes Im in an angry anti-corporate mood then I will want some pretty leftist media.
  5. Just look at the Venus of Willendorf, stone age folks thought she was smoking, but that was different though, its hard to rewire your brain that much.
  6. And I feel liberated wearing pants. Mystery solved.
  7. Great video! Watching right now. Never considered the fact that the golden age of modern science might be over soon, interesting take!
  8. In a parallell universe Trump is a Zen master.
  9. Not his best, but Leo always keeps the quality up so that is not saying much.
  10. Im too dumb for chess.
  11. If he only knew the freedom you get after digging around in your shadow for 3 months straight... Dont listen to him.
  12. Because the ego knows deep down self-reflection means death, why do you think people say "Dont think so much."
  13. More details needed, what kind of jokes? If you feel really uncomfortable you should probably let go of those friends. Were all racist on a spectrum, some are obviously racist like Neo-Nazis, and some just make jokes with their friends, I have been guilty of that, I never put anyone down as being unintelligent but I do make jokes about not visiting certain areas of my city because its more... dangerous... Im very aware of it though and I rarely do it anymore.
  14. Another reason not to commit murder etc is karma, if you live by the sword dont be surprised if you die by it. What you send out into the world might come back to you...
  15. If you never take the leap youll never know what you miss...
  16. Isnt the third eye just another name for consciousness?
  17. The confusing part is trying to pin people to one Stage, but thats why its a model and limited, if we would be truly honest there is probably a 100 Stages people go through... For example, is a violent dictator the same as a serial killer stalking the streets... Technically no... Although they might share some values...
  18. Interesting point. Guess I have alot to contemplate, to be honest I kind of just want to throw away the colors and stages and just start looking at the values themselves now... SD feels like its been limiting me alot lately.
  19. Alexander killed his best friend Cleitus by shoving a javelin through his heart in a drunken fight... Pure Red... Although he was said to have been depressed for weeks after that... Interesting psychology right there...
