No, none of that proves anything other than experience exists. It would not prove their existence as a scientist or musician. How do you know they aren't deceiving you? How do you even know what science is without going into your memory? "Practicality" here is a trap. We are not interested in practical here, we are interested in truth. Is it absolutely true or not?

I think it's not a reasonable expectation that your romantic partner be into God-realization. Nor is it necessary. A romantic partner is there for more basic needs like companionship, sex, emotional support, raising a family, etc. Only an extremely small percentage of people will ever be interested in God-realization, and they may not make for the best romantic partner. God-realization is for you. You don't need anyone else to get it.

Don't you know fascists love *color*

Respect for that ex-Neo Nazi. That's what a serious collision with reality and questioning your worldview looks like.

It should be obvious that both men and women lack a capacity for handling truth. It's really more of a human problem.

This is literally survival.

The proper position at that point is agnosticism. You don't know, and that's perfectly fine. But now you must seek. The problem with going too hard into atheism is that many of those people never come out the other end. They become too stuck in it. You should hold your atheism lightly, not arrogantly.

Making America healthy again by gutting essential health services:

Trump liberating us all from a functioning economy:

Do enlighten us.

Keep it up, you'll be doing spiral wizardry in no time. It also helps if you combine this with the 9 stages of ego development + conservative vs liberal mind series.

The corruption of the book industry pains me deeply, like an arrow to the soul. It’s one of my life goals to create a great work. Yet I would be embarrassed to call myself an author today.

BitMEX money launderers pardoned, Skadden cuts a deal:

High quality perspective on psychedelics

Sam Harris was my bridge. I respected his opinion quite a bit. He came across as very intelligent and was helpful for me in deconstructing religion. So when I saw he was interested in spirituality, that spiked my curiosity.

Making American great again by torpedoing our ability to compete in scientific research: Surely RFK will save us.

It’s a relatively high perspective, but he’s not free from agenda. The entire point of being a politician is to represent people’s agendas.

He is making a point in favor of his globalist, liberal agenda.

Undoubtedly some of that is true. I think you may be selling this community a bit short though. My position is that Leo’s work is exceptional, and as such he does attract some exceptional people. I won’t drop usernames but I’ve conversed with many of them of the years. If you legitimately put the work in, you may even be able to surpass Wilber himself in terms of understanding.

Nothing says escaping group-think like subscribing to the conservative echo chamber.

Tony Robbins does like every biohack, just read his book Lifeforce. Anything he talks about related to health and wellness really needs to be questioned. He is not properly vetting this stuff at all from a public health POV. You could easily waste a ton of money or worse.

No, of course not. They are secular materialists deeply bought into their progressive, liberal political ideology. Any introduction of Wilber will either be dismissed or twisted to be assimilated into their Green worldview. Neither of those involve actually understanding Wilber. Just like Bill. It's not impossible they could get there eventually, but it would take a lot. Okay, but then I'm not sure why you're confused about my position on Bill Clinton. Bill is talking about something he doesn't really understand. That's been exactly my whole point.

Trevor Milton pardoned:

I don't know who that is or what their position is. I only know Sam and Emma. I think Bill is likely using Wilber to reinforce his liberal, Green worldview. He paints Wilber's work as being about "overcoming differences". This is watered down to the max. I think he does not understand that the whole point of Wilber's work is to lead you to God. Or even what that means. No. People have very different levels of consciousness / development. And their thinking can vary by orders of magnitude. One of the powerful things about Integral Theory is to see this. You see some of the spectrum of thinking that is available, which prevents excessive homogenization. It's certainly possible to develop a kind of self-development arrogance. But it's not correct to then make the move to assuming everyone's thinking is essentially the same. I would separate this.
