aurum

That's actually an extremely common objection from SD Green people. Especially when they see indigenous, Purple folks down at the bottom of said hierarchy.

I would find a way to explore these kinks in the bedroom. Don't just assume they're toxic and shove them down. If you're worried about inherited misogyny, that's good. That shows you're not blind to the potential problems here. But misogyny can be healed independently of domination kinks. Work on loving and respecting women outside the bedroom.

Here's something that might have worked better: Reach out to different influencers who made response videos to the podcast. Bring on two and let them know they can ask any questions they want to Aubrey about the situation. No Marc Gafni or the backup squad to support him. This might have at least shown his followers that he was taking the criticism seriously. And it could be a good opportunity for his community to see actual conflict resolution dialogue, not fancy new age podcast speak. If no one is willing to come on the podcast, at least he made an effort.

Yeah not smart. I think he would have been better off just moving on and keeping his affairs more private. Public figures need boundaries. Instead, he just kicked the hornets nest.

From an optics POV, it looks like this second podcast was not a success. He's still getting dragged in the comments. I'm not sure why he decided to do this. There doesn't appear to be any real new information in this podcast. It's mostly just Caitlin defending him and talking about their relationship, which people already understood. Everyone knows his relationship with Caitlin is strong. She works for him.

The drama continues. Come get your fix:

Every human needs basic education on how AI works, at a minimum. Your AI will be a reflection of your mind.

@Ryan M are you looking to retire on this money? How long do you want to hold it?

I appreciate the dialogue, but this is a limit for me. I'm going to exit now.

That makes sense, I can see how that would be healing. I think that's where we're different though. Connection seems to be a higher value for you.

Frustrating, and also somewhat isolating. You grow beyond what people can understand. But then you find God

You're a real one. That's what good sense-making looks like. Little bit of Aussie slang is okay too

I will take that to heart. I want you to understand though, that's not what is happening from my POV. When you write something, I DO consider it. I read it multiple times, I pause, I think about it, I write something back, I edit it, I edit again, I edit it a third time. It's a slow, deliberate process. It's also the case that SD Green arguments feel like remedial math to me. I lived it, chewed on it and moved on. I know the memes very well, including where they go right and where they go wrong. In that sense, I can see how it comes off as dismissive. I also don't always explain myself. I say things vaguely and expect people to think about them for themselves. But that vagueness can also seem like I'm not engaging with the argument, because I'm not explicitly answering the question. So that's my feedback.

@Emerald I will do my best to not assume my perspective is higher. But I’m going to ask you extend that same curtesy to me.

That's mostly right. I keep insisting that I'm trying to show you expanded perspective, and you keep insisting that I'm not and that you know more than me. So who is right? And who is really the smug one? That's the core tension we have going on. My perspective has evolved a lot over the years, so yes it might come across as different interacting with me now.

It matters because it shows how misleading a quote like that can be. People will hear that and assume awakening doesn't matter. It's basically a combo of trauma-healing, new age spirituality and personal success / relationship advice. She does not really teach Awakening. Maybe some superficial aspects.

You could say repression is most important to focus on, but only if you radically expand your definition of repression to include loss of freedom.

Of course. You're all a bunch of liberal, freedom junkies

I think I understand it fine. I'm trying to share with a perspective I've developed over the past five years, coming from profound insights into repression, freedom and authenticity. This is not something I'm just pulling out of my ass. If you think I don't understand repression, you're welcome to share where I'm going wrong. Focusing on repression is fine as a first step, but it's not nearly enough.

I'm not sure how this relates to what I was saying.

Not by a long shot. Focusing on repression is exactly the foolishness of liberalism and SD Green level-logic of authenticity as liberation. And it's exhausting.

This girl's channel has a lot of good Green examples:
