I don't think they can really do that at this point, given all the speculation about Epstein himself being taken out. Also, I'm sure she has safeguards of her own in place to protect her from things like a suicide narrative. It would be too risky to take her out. Even if she so happened to get killed in a traffic accident or a heart attack, speculation would rise to a risky level. Although, something like a car accident might work, because the average American just needs the slightest bit of plausible deniability to accept something. But I'm guessing you'd have 5-10x the journalists probing into the situation, which is risky.

The left you’re talking about is a minority faction (Twitter left, activist left, progressives), not the bulk of the left. The right you’re talking about is the bulk of the right. It’s a mistake to critique the far-left minority as if it represents the whole, and then contrast that to a critique of the right, because the right is far more ideologically uniform in its conservatism. The mistake is comparing a fringe characteristic in one group to a core characteristic in the other, making it seem like the two traits are equally representative when they’re not. Leo makes this same mistake as well. Also, “bald guy” was meant as slur, not euphemism. He gets to avoid giving Leo the dignity of using his name, at the same time reducing him to a slur. OP has a lot of pent up hatred that he will, one of these days, need to let go.

I agree. In my most heightened states, the presence of the “witness” is most dominant, but the witness isn’t Josh. There has always been perception. Perception has never ceased. Consciousness seems to require a witness, wether that witness be my ego or whatever the witness is when my ego takes a back seat, there is always a witness.

Yeah, I agree. I think it’s mostly frequency of overreacting to petty things and demonstrating that you can’t keep your shit together. These are the most common things: Begging her not to leave after a breakup Excessive jealousy or possessiveness Overreacting to small disagreements Complaining constantly about life or work Seeking constant reassurance about the relationship Publicly venting insecurities or self-pity Dramatic emotional outbursts over setbacks Resentful rants about past relationships Oversharing fears without action to address them Acting helpless instead of taking responsibility

Thanks for explaining.

So your claim is by completely shedding all fear, enlightenment occurs? I’m not being critical here, just curious, because I’m not deep into spirituality.

😂

Badass story. Respect. it sounds like you’re talking about hyper-vigilance, or living in the red, and even to come down to yellow (such as at the coffee shop), you’re still vigilant with your survival to a degree. This is true, but what happens when you remove this ‘closure’? Does something automatically happen or does it just allow the possibility for something to happen?

Lol. It’s good for you, or so I like to think.

Lol, that's funny! Is yours extroverted? One good thing about an older outgoing and extroverted sister is you inevitably wind up in her robust social circle. Without her, I would be a totally different person. Maybe even holding ideas about gender superiority. We endured a rough childhood together, which created an unbreakable bond.

Yes, I found that by knowing myself, I can largely know others, because I know all the little games I've played and gotten to the bottom of them and mapped out their structures, and so they spring into mind as potential hypotheses via subconscious pattern recognition. And once they're there as hypothesis, via analysis and deduction, I can usually discern quickly what is going on with someone. But analysis and deduction are more often than not not even needed. I can read most people like a book, but only because I've read myself like a book, and over time, confirmed we're all very much alike in structure. Even if I don't know the "content", the "structure" seems to often be accurately intuited, or at least not far off. This is my main tool in social calibration. I suppose this skill naturally develops with self-reflection, and if one has spent many hours contemplating human behavior in general, it develops even more.

This seems legit.

Facts

All good. Funny af actually. Lol. You made me laugh with the caveman language.

Yeah, I’m sure I haven’t resolved all the “real stuff”. Again, thanks for the resource, will definitely check it out. That’s a nice insight. I really like that. And it would definitely take some time to integrate and to understand the implications of it.

Lol. Can’t get anything by you. In hindsight, I suspect such posts are not very helpful, and to be honest, I wonder how much of my ego is talking with some of my posts. But I’ve kinda adopted “strength” into my identity, and of course I think my way is best. Stop being fucking weak bro! Lol. Not you, you seem to not be weak where women are involved.

I’ve considered it but never invested the time to truly investigate. I’ve been pushing myself too hard for the past decade, accumulating stress and tension, and largely ignoring self care and ignoring getting in touch with my body and being. I feel like a need a long break to explore all that, but that’s nowhere in sight. When I try to do such things alongside working toward financial freedom, I get all fucked up and can’t operate well in any domain. I think I might need a practice that allows me to get in touch with my being, but without mind being involved. So I need some sort of peaceful movements, fast and engaging enough to keep my mind out of it. I was looking into that a few weeks back. Primal fear seems apt. I suppose it could be in the body. I notice my abdomen is often tense. If it’s in the body, maybe it’s there. Thanks for sharing. I’ll ponder.

Thinkers get joy from it, but for many, thinking is actually a block to happiness. It’s definitely not a prerequisite. Those who place a high value on thinking are more likely to find pleasure in deriving insight.

Big one is “you think you have time, but you don’t”.

I’ve developed my own set of ethics and morality. I answer only to myself what is right and what feels good. When a great, persistent evil gets extinguished, that’s a good day. I will rejoice and be glad in it.

@Natasha Tori Maru haha, nice! Yeah, sounds about right. Sounds like my approach. Not much theorizing required. Just not being needy, not caring if they walk, and just being light-hearted and fun. Of course we pickup sly techniques along the way that increase chance of success. You sound like quite the entertainment on the job site. Lol. I bet you often hear them talking about you after you turn the corner.

I’ve let go of wanting it to happen. If it does, I will get a great surprise. If it doesn’t, nothing about reality changes. The biggest con of our time has been succeeding for a very long time now. I’m used to it. He could prosper till his dying day, and I wouldn’t care, because nothing could really cancel out what has already happened. What’s done is done. His death or fall is eminent, and will likely come within the next decade. On that day, I will smile. Until that day, I don’t expect reality to provide any good news regarding Trump.

No one is trying anything. We aren’t out here prosecuting or trying to take him down. We’re just not denying the facts and the picture they paint. You thinking the discussion is an attempt to “take down Trump” is weird. You always like this uptight or do you need a massage? Massage sounds nice.

I just got used to being the one who listens and if there’s an opening for me, I take it, but try not to impose too much of my thinking onto them, but it inevitably happens. And when it does, I notice immediately and gauge receptivity, and just switch back to listener mode if it was too much. I kinda got good at switching back in a way that makes them feel more comfortable with my strangeness. Like, I’ll go into something deep and then put them back on their train of thought as to not totally discombobulate them. “Anyway, you were saying…” 😂

Lol. Yeah, it makes sense guys who acclimate to the female presence early on would be better adjusted. How did you feel about seeing your little brother raking them in? Some part of you was proud, right? Lol. He probably never would have had such luck if it weren’t for you.
