Isn't this just more conceptual frame work? Isn't that what we need to let go of?

I hate that I have these impulses. I hate myself for acting on them, anger almost always follows an orgasm. I've never had a relationship and don't really think too highly of women either. I was also raised to believe sex was bad and indecent by my religious mother. Even though I'm no longer religious could I still be subconsciously running that programming? Simultaneously, I feel inadequate when others are more sexually successful than me, also making me angry.

What is its substance? If it is not localized in space where do thoughts and concepts occur? How can something totally intangible have such incredible influence on us? How did it emerge and why? Why does it seem like only humans posses it?

Meeting his lowest and grossest needs and impulses in obscene quantities with no concern for the feelings or survival of others in his environment. He will rape, steal, kill, and bully, his only concern is his survival and gratifying himself. He is easily angered and offended because his ego is actually very small and fragile. He will lust for power because power over my environment and others = More food, sex, money, drugs, respect, etc. He has no intellectual curiosity what so ever, probably because he got a very poor education and his environment is too hostile to ever worry about higher endeavors. What good is reading when the Americans are bombing my village or there's no food in my fridge? He will think very short term because his environment is so chaotic. There is a civil war and my mother and two sisters have been killed, I don't have a place to sleep tonight because Al-Shabab raided my village, I don't have a job because my country is experiencing a economic depression. Someone in this situation is worried about their own skin and making it to the next five minutes. He will probably abuse drugs to escape the emotional turmoil. He may consider joining a gang to meet his need for security, money, power, and sex. A stage red man is very dangerous because he has no capacity for sympathy or empathy, he can't afford luxuries like that.

@Blackhawk If they were made here, they'd be completely unaffordable to the average person. Manufacturing is never coming back here.

@Husseinisdoingfine Found the fucking tankie! China is an authoritarian capitalistic dystopian hell scape. Do you think a fascist blue world leader is preferable to orange/green America? At least America isn't conducting a genocide on members of its own populace.

Does anyone else feel like a tinge of self hate when you feel sorry for someone or something? I just wish the feeling would go away, I don't want to be selfless and caring. I think I already lack quite a bit of it from what I hear from family but it still comes up from time to time. I just think it is weakness and that is something this universe punishes mercilessly. I feel like since the pandemic I've degraded down the spiral, I resonate much more with red than any other stage. Thoughts?

How do you actually have faith in yourself? Most people that lived and died on this planet lived insignificant sad lives, why should yours be any different? Odds are you've never even met someone that really achieved anything so how do you believe it's even possible for you? These are some of my limiting beliefs, how do I let them go?

@Preety_India I guess just how little control I have over it makes me feel weak

Is it my life purpose? No, but it's infinitely better than being a blue collar wage slave like I am now. As long as I properly educate myself and avoid obscene risks, it could really catalyze my self actualization. I would have more time for, fitness, meditation, psychedelics, self education, etc. What do you guys think?

Plus Covid kinda nuked my LP at the moment

If you want companionship why not try a waterfall? Or a starry night sky, or a snow covered forest, or a woodland breeze? Not only are these things devoid of dogma, materialism, and ego, they are unconditional and permeate with wisdom and beauty. Nature possess no petty superficial judgements of you, it simply is, without needing anything in return. There is nothing truly deep in human social endeavors, they are quite fleeting, shallow, and unfulfilling, but the being of nature is divine. Why not put yourself in better company? Why not marinate yourself in the profundity of existence, actually feeling alive for once? Why are you afraid of having a relationship with God?

@tsuki Counter-argument?

Donald Trump has been defeated! It's time to get this country back on track! Post suggestions for Joe Biden to undo all the damage Trump has done these last four years and move this country forward. Here are some of mine: Lift embargo on Cuba Lift trans military ban Rejoin Paris climate accord Rejoin WHO Refund WHO Stop keeping children and deporting parents at Mexico border Invoke national mask mandate Denounce right wing terrorism Iran deal Actually make America great again!!!

There are over three million Americans who pay federal taxes but do not have proper representation in congress. Almost half of Americans are not even aware Puerto Ricans are US citizens. This is a travesty! They must be given statehood, senators, and representation in the house. America is too developed of a country to be this negligent of its populace!

@Ananta Does anyone remember how this movie ended?

A modern first world democracy requires a modern information era electoral process. An election app would ensure all Americans could have an easy convenient means to vote for their preferred candidate without even leaving their homes, especially useful during a global pandemic. Blockchain technology can ensure this new modern method of electoral interface is completely tamper proof as well as quick. The President also will have less means to sabotage the election such as de-funding the USPS and sending armed goons to the polls to intimidate voters. https://cryptobriefing.com/if-us-voted-with-blockchain-wed-already-know-election-winner/ Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.

Do you honestly think he would admit this on camera if it were true? The man is known for misspeaking, put the tin foil hat away!

@Preety_India Yes, it is a big problem holding us back. Growing up, I didn't know there was so much racism in America's institutions and politics. But now as an adult black male, it appears ubiquitous in America. I can't believe how much of this country is not even at stage orange yet.

@Preety_India No, Samoa is not a state. America made Hawaii a state because many whites moved there. I am pro independence but in the case of Puerto Rico, they wish to become a state like Maryland, Virginia, California, Florida, etc. These are states, not territories. They have representation in the federal government.

@Willie I think DC deserves statehood as well, Puerto Rico has just been grossly neglected for too long. As for the others, I think they should be allowed to decide democratically if they wish to remain territories or seek independence.
