Russell Brand In Hot Water
Russell Brand In Hot WaterSo many ways. He talks like a Green person all the time. He's into that New Age Green spirituality and politics. At least he was before this Christian/right-wing phase.
Russell has been ranting against the evils of capitalism for a long time. He's not some stupid conservative. He understands many left-wing issues and causes. His recent changes are just him surviving against the rape allegations. In a sense his old Green self was more honest before the survival pressure-cooker cornered him like a rat.
A cornered rat regresses to lower stages to defend itself.
That's what I see Russell doing. But he still has much Green in him.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadNew Space, in a top research centre. There’s currently a big shift happening with nanosatellite Low Earth Orbit constellations. In the past, only space agencies like NASA or a few large organizations could afford to build and operate satellites, which were typically large, very expensive, and placed in high orbits to last for decades.
Now things are very different. Thanks to miniaturization and cheaper launch options, it’s possible to deploy small satellites for a few thousand euros each. This opens the door for much more flexible uses, from Earth observation to communications and scientific experiments. The trade-off is that these satellites are much simpler individually, so large-scale services (like global internet coverage) require hundreds or even thousands of them working together as a coordinated network.
This introduces a new engineering challenge: managing not just a single complex satellite, but an entire distributed ecosystem in orbit. Each satellite is already a layered system (hardware, software, onboard processing, and reconfigurable or programmable components) and when you multiply that by a large constellation, the complexity grows significantly.
My research focused on this problem. I developed a theoretical observability framework across all these layers; meaning a structured way to monitor and understand what is happening inside each layer of the satellite and across the whole constellation. The idea is to define how information should be collected at every level, how it can be communicated between heterogenous layers, and how system-wide behavior can be inferred efficiently from that data, given very short windows of earth communication.
After developing the theoretical model, I implemented and tested it in a real nanosatellite payload, and also used a virtualized environments to simulate large-scale network interactions. This allowed me to validate that the approach is technically feasible in realistic conditions.
I was the first to openly publish a solution to this problem. It is believed that companies such as SpaceX have developed similar capabilities internally, but because they provide a significant competitive advantage, those solutions are not publicly disclosed. The good thing of public research centres is that I got all the very expensive infrastructure needed to conduct my research and then the solution was freely published (after of course very well mentioning in my paper whose funds helped me to do so). This kind of work is particularly important as New Space companies continue to scale up the number of satellites in orbit and need more efficient ways to manage them.
After I finished this work I left the research centre, I was just there for the mental high challenge.
PD: Really bad experience to write a paper and get it published. I particularly disliked by how autistically peaky the format and paper had to be written in, you make a wrong table format and a year long work doesn't get published. What most annoyed me was finishing all the work, writing the paper and then see how all the research bosses and higher peers sneakily signed the document as co-authors and you couldn't do shit about that. Of course some colleagues I wrote myself the name as they really contributed with their expertise, but the other 8 who just signed, lmao. It's me who has been nights without sleep trying to solve this problem, not you who just signed the paper; I thought to myself.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadOne of the most eye opening realisations I had about how truly science works is undergoing the process to get published in the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
Science stops being this glamorous champion of truth and it's seen as any other company, with self-interests, money and reputation hungry, and ass tight about the way you should do science to get published, both in format and content.
My colleagues at that time where quite critique about the system, the older the researcher the more skeptical, when the youngsters asked how could it be made better, they answered we've tried and contemplated how to improve the system, but for now it's the best we can do given the conditions of science and economy.
If anything, it's sad that many brilliant mind get trapped like rats in maze of breadcrumbs.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadI don't know enough about their organizations to make that claim.
Perhaps they are, perhaps you are being too sloppy with your use of that word.
Just because someone runs a spiritual community does not make it a cult. They need to be doing some kind of manipulative mind control on top of it to exploit their followers. I don't know to what extent Teal, Aaron, or Mooji do that.
Benhito certainly seems problematic and exploitative with his fans. I strongly dislike that. Charging your fans enormous amounts of money is a huge no-no. So is keeping multiple girlfriends and framing sex with them as spiritual healing. That is plain corruption.
But regardless, Actualized.org is not like any spiritual community. I have no organization, I have no staff, I don't exploit you guys, and I don't control any one.

Do ALL celebrities actually have top-level work ethic?
Do ALL celebrities actually have top-level work ethic?Basically anyone who's mega-successful has a crazy work ethic. Because they had to work their ass off consistently for decades to get there.
The cost of mega-success is usually giving up your whole life for it. Which is why the most successful people are poorly spiritually developed. They sold their soul to the devil.
Which is why Jesus said that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven.
You will never become a celebrity without a crazy work ethic.

Criticism of Ken Wilber
Criticism of Ken WilberHaving read the criticisms in more depth, I want to underscore that many criticisms of Ken Wilber are foolish and that the bulk of his written work is as solid as can be.
Minor criticisms like his support for Andrew Cohen, Adi Da, and his over-emphasis of the Mean Green Meme and his political prescriptions are all knit-picks compared to the bulk of his written work, which is solid, and which has little to do with those things.
Don't get distracted by the politics surrounding the Integral Institute. Just focus on his written work, which is genius.
And as always, don't expect any teacher to be perfect in their embodiment or conduct.
The criticism's of Ken Wilber found on the following website, for example, are pure BS:

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadThat is the problem.
If you were conscious of GOD you would not be interested in eliminating that word, because it is perfect.
When you don't understand the perfection of the word, that's what tells you you don't understand what GOD is.
If the word was wrong, I wouldn't use it. I use it because it right, not because I want to. It is not a personal choice.
I was a fucking atheist, don't forget. I had no love for the word.

Example of dark tetrad from Aba the Youtuber
Example of dark tetrad from Aba the YoutuberThat is very true. However, it does not negate the existence and severity of the dark tetrad or triad. Dating such a person would be hell, make no mistake about it.
Being dark tetrad is not just a matter of being on some spectrum. Dark tetrad is a perfect storm of toxicity and corruption. Hope you never meet such a person in your life. This would be like dating Trump.

Girl Power is a lie
Girl Power is a lieDude, the girl mind is designed to comfort feelings, not to speak truth. That's what a good mother does.
Stop expecting girls to be bearers of deep truth. They are bearers of feeling and love.
Telling a fat girl that she is beauitful has its place. If you were a fat girl you would feel better.

The truth is that you care more about your feelings than truth.

It isn't hate. Envy, sure.
Girls aren't judging each other as harshly as men judge girls appearance.
As a man, you too are envious of handsome guys who get lots of girls.

Thoughts on Bonnie Blue and Sex positivity/Negativity?
Thoughts on Bonnie Blue and Sex positivity/Negativity?Funny story, I saw Bonnie Blue on a flight a few months ago, she was on the first row as well, so I had to walk right past her. She did not look comfortable in her skin, she had a hood up, was holding on to a teddy bear and aggressively colouring in her colouring book. She took pics with whoever asked but I did kinda feel sorry for her imagining what it must be like everyone looking at her and whispering behind her back but then less sympathy because she really courted this notoriety.
A wider point what shes doing in her career isn't really a case of sexual liberation, its really just marketing, its a gimmick. She's smart in that she knows what to say and what to do to get attention but I dont think its representative of what she would do if money and fame weren't involved. She still could be sexually free and get that side of her out with swimgers parties or orgies or whatever, but sleeping with 1000 guys at a time is not something anyone really craves to do realistically. Its like someone who does eating challenges and puts them online, yeah they probably love food but if content wasn't involved they wouldnt eat that much.

If you want to defeat Israel, promise Jews there’ll never be another Holocaust.
If you want to defeat Israel, promise Jews there’ll never be another Holocaust.Whether they are or aren't, they certainly believe they are.
Don't underestimate how deep their collective trauma & paranoia goes.
Every time some Arab terrorist speaks of wiping Israel off the map, they literally perceive that as Hitler 2.0 and react accordingly. That's how their entire military intelligence operates.
The reason Israel is killing so many civilians is because they believe they are fighting to stop Hitler 2.0, so from their POV the civilian deaths appear reasonable. They truly believe all this conflict is just anti-semitism and that they did nothing to cause it.
The Hitler/Holocaust analogy is very convenient for Zionists because is makes them feel like violence is being done to them for no reason other than their race.

If you want to defeat Israel, promise Jews there’ll never be another Holocaust.
If you want to defeat Israel, promise Jews there’ll never be another Holocaust.What I see from the pro-Palestinian side of the conflict is an inability to understand the motivation behind Israel’s motivations for wanting to remove Palestinians from Gaza, and forming a conception of Israel as “evil” as a result.
I’m here to explain Israel’s position, and why they’re fighting so hard and (seemingly) committing atrocities for no good reason.
It’s the Holocaust. It really is that simple. If you’re not Jewish, it can be almost impossible to understand the level of trauma, grief and terror that hovers of the heads of too many Jews to this day about it. It was the first and only time in human history that a people were subject to industrial genocide - not just displacement, not just shootings or massacres (as bad as they are), but systemically slaughtered like animals using mass industrial methods. The level of evil it involved almost seems incomprehensible.
Basically, to most Zionist Israelis, Israel represents the only hope Jews will ever have of not suffering yet another genocide of that scale again, and one that might be successful this time around. And who can blame them? The world failed to stop the Holocaust. Britain, the US, etc knew it was happening. They could’ve done more to stop it. Instead, they mostly ignored it (and even turned Jews away from their countries in literally their most desperate hour) while millions of them were again, being industrially slaughtered.
If you’re your average Israeli, and you see virtually every other nation on earth still condemning you as greedy, “globalists” and, at worst, subhuman, where else are you going to feel safe? Would you really trust the US, or Europe, or anywhere else, when these nations are swarming with neo-Nazis? Where are Jews to go? Zionist Israelis are like cornered rats, desperately trying to hold onto the only piece of land they can call “theirs.”
If you want to stop the ethnic cleansing in Gaza, you have to assure the Israelis - even the most crazy, rabid ones - that you won’t let another Holocaust happen again. You have to assure them their fears are unfounded and that antisemitism will be destroyed in all its social manifestations.
Why do we allow antisemitism just to fester unchallenged? It’s literally the most destructive form of racism in human history (again, because of the Holocaust) and yet most people either dont give a shit, or implicitly or explicitly believe in it.
Jews are not demons. Jews don’t control the world. Jews aren’t lizard people globalists trying to establish a one-world government and enslave humanity.
That’s literally Harry Potter-tier fantasy bullshit. It’s not real. It never has been and never will be. Jews are literally just like anyone else - they have their good and bad, just like all cultures. They have a unique religion, but then so do Sikhs, so do Druze, so do Yazhidis, so do Alawites. If anything there’s a lot of good things about Jewish culture (food, family, commitment to education, etc.)
To defeat Israel’s aggression, we have to defeat global antisemitism. You can’t have one without the other.

Be on the right side of history.
Be on the right side of history.Keep in mind that genocide evolves. It becomes less direct and more indirect because the direct means are clearly outlawed but the indirect means are not.
Israel is good at doing stuff indirectly with plausible deniability. That's their whoe gameplan with the settlements: steal land in an indirect way so it cannot be stopped.
That's how devilry works. It is like water, squeezing through any crack.

The Founder Of Israel Was Spiral Dynamic Stage Yellow- Read Some Amazing Facts!
The Founder Of Israel Was Spiral Dynamic Stage Yellow- Read Some Amazing Facts!Einstein was politically very progressive & liberal. He saw the Nazi threat very early before any of his colleagues did. He fled Nazi Germany long before the war started and he spoke out against the dangers of nationalism. After the war there was a movement to create Israel. Some top Jewish leaders tried to recruit Einstein to their cause. But Einstein was too conscious for that. He saw that the Jews are embarking along a similar path as the Nazi's with their own flavor of Jewish nationalism (Zionism). He warned about these dangers.
And today we see that this is the case. Far right-wing Jewish nationalists are dedicated to oppressing the Palestinian people in their quest for a pure Zion.
It's ironic that those Jews never learned the true lesson of Nazi Germany. The lesson was NOT that Jews need their own homeland. The lesson was that nationalism of any stripe is unconscious and destructive to minorities.
Einstein understood all this. Netanyahu, Evangelicals, and their supporters do not. This is the difference between Spiral Dynamics stage Blue & Green. Orthodox Jews are Blue. Einstein was Green.
To be fair, there are many stage Green progressive Jews in Israel and the US. But just like in the US, demagogues like Trump tend to drown out the voices of reason, consciousness, love, and moderation.
The big picture is this: all limited identities create problems. Just to think of oneself as a "Jew" is already a problem because it is untrue. No one is actually a Jew, they merely imagine they are. They have constructed an identity out of it. Because this identity is fundamentally false, it must be defended to the death and truth must be suppressed. Right wing nationalist Jew like Netanyahu and his ilk are busy defending an false identity, which is why they can be so vicious. This is the fundamental problem with all forms of nationalism. Your true identity is oneness with all living beings. You are God imagining he is a Jew.

How do I know if I’m seeking wholeness or intensity?
How do I know if I’m seeking wholeness or intensity?Sexual craving is more akin to hunger than it is to attachment.
You aren't attached to food, your body craves it. Likewise with sex. Unless you got some additional attachment on top of that, which is possible.
If your hromones changed your craving for sex would change or even disappear. This will happen naturally as you get older.
Your body is seeking sex. Your spirit is seeking higher things. In the same way that your spirit may seek God but your body just wants some ice cream.

how do I get better at cutting my losses early, what does it take for(continued below
how do I get better at cutting my losses early, what does it take for(continued belowI dated a BPD girl for about a year and she cheated me a couple of times throughout. I did cocaine and even meth with her. If I didn't move cities across the country I probably would be dead by now. I think a lot of it comes from self-esteem and abundance mindset. I was lonely and lived a boring life without her. First woman I loved and hopefully not the last. Boundaries are very important, now I have a very short patience for people that don't add value to my life. I'm both more confident in my own value and skillset now and not willing to be miserable for the sake of someone that's not gonna help themselves anymore.

Pickup is good-crap
Pickup is good-crapIn stage Blue society getting laid is a lot easier because you just go to church and marry some girl your church friends introduce you to.
But also, men have been hitting on women since the dawn of time. You just learn about it today thanks to the internet.
Bars and clubs and alcohol exist for one reason: for people to get laid.
We live in a highly alienated time and culture.
You know, in Quaker society none of the boys have a problem getting laid. Their parents just set them up to marry the girl next door.
My dad met my mom by approaching her on a street corner. If he didn't have the balls to approach her, I wouldn't be here, and neither would you.

Pickup is good-crap
Pickup is good-crapYou fundamentally misunderstand what pickup is about.
It's not about running a script. It's about learning how to be authentic. Guys struggle with social awkwardness A LOT. Guys are not as socially intuitive as women who practice socialization their entire lives.
Again, you're not understanding because you have no genuine curiosity in this topic. You're looking at it and judging it from your female self-agenda.
What you're doing is akin to me telling women: Don't watch any YT make up videos and don't shop for panties at Victoria's Secret and don't do anything to improve yourself. Don't wear heals. Don't wear bras. Don't do your hair up. Don't shave your legs. Don't shave your pussy. Don't do your nails. Don't hold in your farts. Don't go out and don't socialize at night with any guys. Just sit at home, be normal, and you'll get a great husband.
