  1. People like Shapiro seem so concerned with sexuality. I assume it only triggers these people because they have supressed parts of their own sexuality
  2. Lol I listen to random compilations of it sometimes in the background. Really the kind of music for a roadtrip or something. Last one I listened to a bit
  3. Yeah hopefully. But let's not get too arrogant 'Trumpism' is on the rise in Europe
  4. The Associated Press has called it too! Bye bye Trump
  5. Lol. Sam Harris is actually describing why the reaction against Stage Green is a problem --> Leads to Trump And at the same time he is demonizing Green
  6. I hope you guys can handle this : Biden has won. Or at least it's called by: https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/
  7. We hoped the US would maybe be evolved enough for Bernie. And the truth is the US is barely evolved enough to elect Biden. I really thought most Americans were centrists and Biden's compromise would lead to a landslide.
  8. The US population appears to be like a child kicking and screaming because it doesn't want to enter Green. Or even healthy Orange...
  9. But isn't complexity-simplicity a duality?
  10. Hey guys. I've been a daily meditator for a while now but I have a "problem" since a few months. And I think it's become more intense. Most days now, when I sit down to meditate I'm experiencing a range of strange symptons. I feel an intense (sometimes orgasmic-like) energy in my body that I feel I need to release. Sometimes I feel like I need to shake my body or my head. Other times I feel a need to breathe very deeply and especially when breathing out. Sometimes there's also an orgasmic kind of feeling across my spine, my back, neck, and head. But without ever being able to truly release this energy. This makes meditating harder because it ruins my concentration and I'm unable to truly relax. I only have this problem when I'm sitting down to meditate. And rarely when I'm sitting down and deeply concentrating on other work. I've seen Leo's video on the Dark Side of Meditation. So this could just be something I have to work through. But it'd be nice to hear some words of advice from you guys. Thanks.
  11. Yeah that's my plan. We're in lockdown where I live so I've decided to meditate 3 times a day now for a week and see what happens. I don't know much yet about kundalini. But yes it can get extremely uncomfortable to the point that just "sitting still doing nothing" becomes almost impossible
  12. @commie In terms of Physics basic relativity of speed to intertial frames of reference is not very grandiose indeed (although it might be! It's subjective). The relativity of time and space is more grandiose (Einstein's theories shocked the entire scientific community). Beyond Physics all these concepts are all imaginary and relative to human cognition (like Leo said). And the speed of light, or c, or speed of causality is absolute in terms of Physics. But still relative (to at least our universe) in a grander sense,
  13. Interesting video The idea that the speed of light moves at the same speed in any direction is only a convention. Einstein said that light’s one-way speed “is in reality neither a supposition nor a hypothesis about the physical nature of light, but a stipulation which I can make of my own freewill in order to arrive at a definition of simultaneity"
  14. Nobody has! (in a vacuum) Not directly at least. Only indirectly (the two-way speed of light). @commie Hmmm.. Yes I did not really consider problems of a finite speed in QM. Doesn't QFT solve such problems? Yeah the concepts of "speed" and "time" and "space" are all relative to observers. They don't exist in any absolute sense.
  15. Yes. Because the one-way speed of light is c (and the same as the two-way) by definition (and admitted as one by Einstein). Not because of empirical research. It's literally called the Einstein Synchronisation Convention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_synchronisation And the speed of light doesn't necessarily have to be infinite for the two-way speed of light to differ from the one-way speed of light. But I get your point. A difference between the two implies very odd consequences. But that's no argument against it being a convention.
  16. The European Union is seriously considering a European Army. Especially France and Germany want this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_army
  17. He obviously suffers from mental illnesses. This guy should not be "running for president" Don't get me wrong. I do wish him the best of luck and healing in life. But it's kind of ridiculous to think of him as a stage Yellow thinker
  18. ??? The ingredients of coke are: sugar, carbonated water, caffeine, and some E-number. And sugar.
