Dailymail leaked 10 minutes of footage, this is the full video, for some reason the major media outlets are cutting it up and editing it. New information this shows is clear signs George was on drugs, and that he was saying he can't breathe before being restrained, and that he was non-compliant. It's more possible than people think that Chauvin could be acquitted, the case already seemed murky when they had to bump it down to a 3rd degree murder charge so soon after going for a 2nd degree, though I don't think he will because of all the public pressure. Remember, the famous Rodney King riots only happened after the officers involved got acquitted, so if Chauvin gets off it could mean riots even worse than the ones that already happened.

Brought awareness to how toxic parts of the media and establishment are, even though his reasons for attacking them are a little narcissistic, it shown a light on a lot of their manipulation and bias to a lot of the population who may have been unaware. (Yes I am aware he attacks them unfairly just for criticizing him as well).

Going by the 4 stages of enlightenment according to Buddhism, I think at each stage you become less prone to that, and if you are fully in the final stage, arahant you would be. -

Right but the current push for defunding police works against that, because training costs money.

This is a small youtuber I watched a long time ago, he had a very hard childhood and was always stuck in the victim mindset in his videos talking about how much he was suffering. I'm happy to see he's gotten past that and is motivated in stage orange.

Ability to be present in an interaction is far more useful than looks, and unlike looks anyone can learn to be present. I was on old pickup forums and there were constantly endless debates that went on for hundreds of pages about do looks matter. Ultimately the truth was the people asking were just looking for an excuse to blame not getting better on. Whether it is true or not, you are better off believing looks don't matter at all, that is how you will get the best results you are capable of.

Looks matter for first impressions, in something like a dating app looks matter a lot. But using in person communication and game, looks do not matter that much. Anyone who has been in pickup long enough will tell you they've seen guys who look better getting their girls taken from them, or losing out to a worse looking guy with better game. Generally girls will tell you looks or all that matter or something, but it isn't true, don't trust it, in fact people will think you look better if you are in state and they get to know your personality, and you can convey a lot in a short interaction. Many guys who are extremely successful with girls look below average. Worrying about looks will cause far more damage than the looks themselves, in general you need to believe looks don't matter, don't be discouraged to learn from people who look good.

80% of all rapists were from single mother homes. The more faithlessness increases, the more criminal activity will increase from displaced anger. -
Honestly from what I see BLM is generally doing peaceful protests right now but Antifa is laying siege on a federal courthouse. I don't see how Trump is being fascist, as far as I can tell all the soldiers are doing is defending a federal spot. I really am baffled why people are supporting antifa attacking the courthouse, it isn't helping the cause, what do they even want with the courthouse? I understand rioters attacking spots like the police station Chauvin worked at, or statues, but this is literally a random court house where nothing even happened.

Rainn uses many exaggerated or false statistics, find better sources for raw data like the FBI. Using the wrong data can result in time wasting or hurt the cause, there are many instances of this. -
Why are you assuming it was the violent protests progressing things and not the peaceful protests. There is data that shows violent protests usually hurt the cause while peaceful protests helped it. MLK was peaceful and made a lot of progress, than after he died there were huge riots and the democrats lost horribly next election because Nixon ran on law and order.

There was an islamic golden age when the muslim countries began rapidly progressing while the christian europe was in the dark ages, but during the crusades Europe collected a lot of valuable information from the muslim countries. The muslim countries got spooked by the crusades and other wars from invaders and became closed off and nationalistic and started developing slower, while Europe took the information and started rapidly developing with the renaissance. More recently, muslim countries have had lots of war and revolutions because they didn't develop secular democracies in the same way as the USA or Europe. The western countries discovered valuable resources in the muslim countries, and started kind of exploiting them and doing things like supporting unpopular or backwards leaders just because they give them better deals on resources. Or taking out advancing leaders because they start questioning or being hostile to their relationship with the USA. You can read analysis for Noam Chomsky on the details. They are progressing, but their situation is precarious and they could collapse back at any time. Also it probably doesn't matter because climate change is going to cause mass suffering and chaos in those countries in the coming decades.

Just learning about basic sex ed and MLK like that isn't stage green. The schools in America are only starting to become fully stage green now. Example in this video from 49:30 to 51:02 (ignore the other parts of the video), I picture schools like this as stage green.

To add onto Leo bringing up Eckhart Tolle, what is more dangerous than money is praise from other people. Eckhart said it doesn't affect him because he doesn't have a self that they add too and he feels as though he isn't the one doing anything, so when people feed his ego to him it's like they're talking about someone else. You probably cannot avoid realizing devilish tendencies from things that feed your ego, but that isn't a bad thing, you can see it as it's bringing the devil inside of you out for you to deal with.
-
Yeah, but that's because your own ego is getting in the way. You're making many assumptions. >he was excited that is why he stumbled how do you know this? What is he excited about? Talking to russell brand? Kind of weird since he's worked with many high profile celebrities and he and Russell are friends who have talked to each other for years. He's stuttered in many videos and he also blinks rapidly, those are just physiological functions. >he excused himself because he talked too much. He said that the work of Russell is very important. I don't understand what the problem with being polite is. >Then he talks quite a bit about politics. He didn't really talk that much about it, and it's not like he's picking a side or something.

But this is an example of the limitation of libertarianism. It eventually turns into a oligarchy of corporations that control society. What happens when a few corporations control every aspect of society and can un-person people, no bank accounts, no internet presence, can't buy a home, banned from buying things online, can't buy an airplane ticket. It may not be that big a problem now, but the more the companies control every aspect of life, the closer we get to giving them complete control of people. Maybe it's easy to look away when people you disagree with get censored, but it will never stay that way. Heres another example, he was banned from his bank, all major social media sites, paypal, airbnb, etc. https://itmattershowyoustand.com/2019/02/chase-bank-shuts-down-proud-boys-leaders-personal-bank-account-blp/ He has alternatives, but in the near future it won't be surprising if he won't, as corporations get larger and control more aspects of society. Even if you find him repugnant, this is setting a precedent that will destroy free speech because outside of legal action it is making a situation where certain speech puts you in danger of destroying your life. It's easy to be ok with that when you find the speech they are punished for vile, but like I said it's naive to think that's all it will be limited too.
