@Carl-Richard This goes to show the relativity of language. What grand narratives mean to you is different from my interpretation of grand narratives, which is different from a philosopher's interpretation of grand narratives, which is different to a spiritual master who spent 50+ years of contemplating grand narratives, and so on. Epistemically speaking, which of us, out of the billions of people out there, has correct validation and interpretation of the words 'grand narrative'?

@Carl-Richard I agree it's context dependent, but considering that Destiny is now a big influencer and has a huge sizeable fan base, people may mistake him for being very intelligent when in fact he's not as intelligent as a sage or Zen master. Compared to the caller the caller I say has more wisdom and integrity than Destiny.

@Zedman So, are you saying that Destiny is less or more intelligent than the caller? I'm not sure what problem you have exactly here.

@Zedman The Destiny guy is the blue haired person, not the caller. He's mostly released this video but to me he edited stuff out of it so without the original we actually can't honestly judge and discern accurately if he's doing this with good faith or bad faith intentions. Clearly him bringing this caller is more for optics and rhetoric appeal, to look intellectually superior and signal to his competitors to look at me, I'm willing to bring this philosopher and am so smart. I don't know, but it feels mostly manipulative to me because Destiny is a Determinist and Nihilist himself, with a different worldview to the caller.

@Zedman What if you used AI art in your project using a dead artist's style, and don't charge for it? Did you release a $15 game for $3? Is it ethical or unethical to charge for your services/product provided, or for free? It may depend on how you make your income. For me, if you got a 9-5 job and can provide for yourself, and make a game for free or for a fee because of energy/time/attention spent making the game, sure it's ethical, but the unethical part is false advertising and marketing, and be like the Logan Paul situation with crypto zoo, take the money and either deliver a weak product/service with little value provided, or no value provided at all and run off with the money. It'll be distributed for free, until it's not.

@StarStruck Are you in the moral right to use A.I to take a style from a dead artist?

@Mada_ Was this before you both began to date, or in the middle of it? Careful, she may be setting grounds to justify sleeping with other men. If she told you in the beginning and you're okay with it okay, but if she told you when you both were dating and sleeping, and this is news to you, that's a red flag.

@Willie @Willie Just no.

@Romer02 Net negative, only a few points that he has value to, are to people who need that advice, but that's only a few.

@Unlimited I CALLED IT!!! I CALLED IT!!! If you had little to no evidence, he's WALKING!!! IKNEW IT! I KNEW IT!ALL OF IT WAS POSTURING! But honestly it seems suspicious, it looks like they're setting him up for some kind of assassination attempt later.

Why the constant editing here?

@DocWatts How do we know that, in celebrating a human being's downfall, that that is in and of itself evil, that that evil is what makes us just as evil as the evil person we are gloating about? This is just like this thought experiment. I killed 1 person in a room of ten murderers. How many murderers remain? 10 still, because by my act of killing one murderer I also become a murderer too, therefore replacing the killed murderer with myself as the new murderer. So, when I am gloating of a human being's downfall, I also become the person I'm gloating by me gloating and denying and disowning the ego self that has that person's quality and state. Also, gloating is taking pleasure in a person's downfall, fetishizing and making possible developing sadism within the gloating person, so there's that! If it's not from a deep root of jealousy and envy, it's pleasure from a person's suffering or even pleasure from my own suffering. These states do not scale up well to the collective level, when it's not just one person gloating but more and more join in on gloating, therefore adding more justification and reasonability to keep on hating, demonizing and kicking other people down.

@fanta Be careful trying to biologically frame Spiral Dynamics here, it's just a grand modal of human cultural values over time, like with developmental psychology. Carl Young's student, one of them, released a book that tried to explain the Architypes in this scientific, rigorous and biological manner which completely missed the point of the metaphysics, epistemology and spiritual implications of the shadow aspects of the ego.

@gettoefl That's true to a degree, but a person won't have deeper insights into spirituality if they just follow the herd too much here.

@Nilsi I agree, at this point it's mostly a matter of bias and preference which country you wish to vacation or even live in. For me, I'd live in Germany due to the metaphysics and historical progress, and I'd likely be a philosopher or pundit there. I'd also do vacations in France, but living there isn't to my liking. I think the hotdog festivals in Germany would be why I'd go there, plenty of pork, chicken, cow, or other types of sausages to eat and beers to drink, and holiday to France for just the poutines and PUA maybe, easier because French people are mostly liaise faire sexually speaking.

@LoneWonderer Why are you gloating about a president about to be indicted?

@RebornConsciousness Is it really not comparable at all? Both this 28 year old trans person is a mass school shooter, and the majority of Incels are mid to late 20's, white and are mass school shooters. Both this trans person has likely suffered cyber bullying or other forms of bullying in school, and most incel right wingers who become mass school shooters have a shared background of being bullied in other forms. So, are these not really comparable?

@John Paul Why is there no justification for murder?

@John Paul So, does this make Kyle Kolinski's take of the reporter humiliating the UN speaker invalid, because the reporter is out of line with asking those questions and shifting blame onto the speaker and the USA?

@Israfil Why is the USA no better than Russia or China? Aren't Americans more friendlier and nicer than the Russians or the Chinese? How is the USA's global politics, economy and agenda stage red??? If true, then what, Russia's or China's global politics, geopolitical and economic agendas above stage red? Why should the USA be honest with it's economic and political hegemony? And is the USA the only country manipulating economics, politics, funding coups and dictators?

@Raze Mainly to live in better countries. Immigrants are, based on differences with Spiral Dynamics stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types, ego development, states of consciousness, life experiences and other lines of development, and ideological upbringing, are mostly, compared to 1st world democracies, live in 3rd world authoritarian regimes and generally less developed societies which over time gets harder, so they chose to migrate to another better environment that fits their needs for themselves and their children.

Can we all take a minute of silence for the users @Arcangelo and @Gesundheit2 for getting banned for being annoying jerks? Their humour will be missed. @Jowblob I thought @Leo Gura did talk about levels of consciousness with some of his infinity videos, and the many features of awakening?

@Pure Imagination Yes, this will be shaping the future a bit brighter. Now we're just waiting on higher taxes for billionaires.

@Thought Art I just noticed, you're back to being a Mod! Congrats again.

@DrugsBunny What Nootropic did you take to write so much eloquent gibberish?
