Wealth should be capped at 1 billion. Once someone becomes a billionaire, we should throw a party and name a train station after them. They have won capitalism. Everything over the billion of wealth then should go into the name of the employees that made someone a billionaire.

Then real estate won't be very real. It makes sense that Elon sold all his houses. Houses might collapse, but Dogecoin will exist even on the moon. And nobody can take his Doge. If you are smart, you want to own assets that are non-destructive.

All value is subjective. In your example, the value was created by Roger Federer and not by you. In your example, you are talking about unrealized value because you have not sold your shirt, so you should not be taxed at all. If you sell the shirt, I think you should pay VAT. Why you shouldn't be taxed for unrealized gains? Imagine, that tomorrow Federer rapes someone and nobody wants to even hear the name, Federer. Then the value of the shirt goes from $100 million to $10 dollars. Imagine that you were forced to pay %10 tax at the valuation of $100 million. Where will you get the money?

@cookiemonster @Batman How can anyone take anything seriously when the CookieMonster is arguing with Batman about the seriousness of life and death?

His primary motivation for curing Covid was to get re-elected. His response was not balanced. You can't elect a buffoon to run the country because when shit hits the fan, a buffoon is clueless on what to do. Trump and the people who put in charge around him are all buffoons. From the highest perspective, he was elected to protect American hegemony from the rise of the East. People thought that only a great Ego such as Trump can protect America from the inevitable decline.

Buddy, you are the Source. To achieve detachment, you have to destroy the desire to destroy. Try meditation instead of Violent films.

Maybe it's a little bit arrogant, ignorant, and delusional to believe that 90% of the people are arrogant, ignorant, and delusional. Would you say so?

@iboughtleosbooklist At 1:46:30 Leo talks about the hardest insight that he had to accept, and that is the fact that You don't exist. You were simply a figment in his imagination? Ask yourself, is that True in your Experience? What is True in your direct experience? The problem with listening to Leo is that you acquire a lot of beliefs, but all beliefs are false. In essence, everything that Leo has ever said that You don't have a direct experience of is False. Try this: Imagine Leo telling you that he is real, that he was lying about everything the whole time, there is no God, no Truth, no Goodness. Imagine the opposite of everything he has ever said... What will then be True in your direct experience?

Feelings are true. Your interpretation of a feeling might be wrong.

Emotions are internal signals that tell you that there is some incongruence with external reality.

We are designing it... It just takes a while...

He was a wacky guy, but I am not sure if he whacked himself.

You are attracted to things that you desire, but you lack. The attraction is not superficial, but deeply metaphysical. Meaning, you are not attracted to the outside appearance, but to the values that create the appearance.

Sounds like you need to deprogram yourself. Programming is a mental activity in which you try to learn the rules of the programming language. Programming languages are created by people(nerds). Maybe you don't think like a nerd? To know a computer language well is to know all the rules that the nerd programmed into his compiler. Then, you use these rules to create a program yourself. Maybe you don't have good ideas about what you want to create? When you don't try to force yourself into programming, what activities do you actually enjoy doing? Maybe you should discover what are your true passions?

You are asking for a template to con-template? Open your eyes... Ask questions to which you don't know the answers... Wait for the universe to provide answers... If the universe doesn't provide answers, change your template... Repeat... Try to contemplate if this is a template or a con.

Perfect question for Leo. Nobody needs enlightenment, and yet that is what Leo is selling to survive.

I am experiencing the same thing for a while... For me, the pulsation is more random and doesn't always happen during meditation. I don't have answers on the cause or remedy.

Sounds like you need to get your shit together first. Then upgrade to another league.

The real question is, do you know yourself better than the corporations know you. The corporations will use your data to sell you stuff and make a profit off of you. If you understand your psychology, the psychological marketing tricks corporations use won't work on you. If you don't understand yourself, their tricks will work until they don't.

The biggest problem is that people don't know what they want. Sometimes to know what you want, you have to try things such as heroin. You don't want heroin, per se, since you want the happiness that it gives you. How could you know authentic happiness(Aristotle called it Eudaimonia), if you first don't experience inauthentic happiness(heroin)? It is you that draws that distinction between authentic/inauthentic.

The world is never ready... When the world is ready, it will disappear and become something else.

This is an excerpt from Matthew 22...

Some people like to eat fish. To those people you give fish. Some people like to learn how to fish. To those people, you teach how to fish. You need to have all different kinds of people. Entrepreneurship is the ability to recognize what people need and giving it to them. Spirituality is different. It is the realization that the spirit can not be given. The best you could do is supporting them on their spiritual journey by giving them fish and teaching them to fish.
