There’s something here… what word could be used for the exquisite balance between liberalism and conservatism? Wisdom.

@Jannes I used to work in learning centres with autistic kids, and other strange disorders and differences. Because a large part of the job is just making sure they don’t Kill themselves I was able to read and journal a lot. One guy just sat on his iPad playing the same game everyday while he screamed and screamed. I would read books and write poetry. While working as a janitor I was able to listen to lots of podcasts. While working in accounting now I can find repetitive tasks that allow me to listen to podcasts. I am learning so much everyday at my job.

@Leo Gura Yeah, as I’m growing through my 20’s I’ve actually learned a deep respect for my grandfathers conservative life style. The results he has achieved I deeply admire. My foolish, unwise l, overly liberal early 20’s has taught me a lot. Now, at the same time I had a lot of conservative qualities that allowed me to develop myself a lot over the pat years. I think more conservative behaviour, while combined with my liberal side will reap some interesting results.

How about, instead of swinging your pendulum along a linear duality, you learn to swing your pendulum along a set of sets of multiple dualities that tend to be paradoxical and asymmetrical depending on your limited vantage point. But, when you can see the full picture makes perfect sense.? Something like, a pendulum that accounts for highly complex systems.

I am also wondering what executive functioning is and how that plays into conservative behaviour. Hmm, like people with a more developed prefrontal cortex can for see dangers in advance to they act in a more conservative way. Yet, some people with a different brain can’t foresee this and take more risks. Unfortunately, I do have an ADHD diagnosis. I think contemplating wisdom, getting burned by lack of critical thinking in the past, impulsive behaviour in the past, meditation etc…. I will persist until I am acting in accordance with high wisdom, etc I also wonder how the age of a system (person, society, ego group) becomes more conservative the more it sees the dangers of its liberalism given finite resources, risk, etc A young person may be more conservative but as they age, they get burned they develop more healthy conservativism. So paradoxically being conservative it more liberal. Maybe Just a thought ?

In order for their to be liberals, there needs to be conservatives to keep a society in intact and integrity. Liberals don’t see this, that conservative ideals, principles, habits, and ways of life and being are really important. If you have no conservative traits that is very dangerous. In order to give and help others, you must withhold, you must have boundaries, you must allow people to go homeless. Letting this person live with me set me back on my business which could help thousands of people. In order to have beauty, you must also allow the ugly. People who can’t take care of themselves, they get fucked by nature. It’s not my problem. These same people will fuck me if I help them. So, they need to figure out their own shit. I can offer help, but I do it with boundaries and a realistic expectations that this human is a selfish asshole in nature. Reality is brutal and complex and elements of conservatism are crucial for living a good life. Being a bleeding heart, libtard, caring about all the homeless, the suffering, the needy, etc can is great but if you go about it with too much openness you get fucked by these same people you want to help. Boundaries, consertivisms, not being nice, saying no, embracing the brutal reality etc are all great aspects of a conservative development.

There’s also this thought I have about people who profess themselves to be liberal in theory but largely act and vote in conservative ways at their town halls. This is common I have learned in the US and probably around the world. I am also learning that my liberal views around helping people are changing. I recently let a friend who was struggling to find a place to live sleep on the floor for 2 months, it turned out to be very stressful. They smelled really bad, would stay out all night drinking. Often showing at at 4 am in the morning and waking me up, took and lost my umbrella without permission and took a 500 dollar pair of headphones. He has just disappeared. I only asked for a small amount to cover utilities. He said he was very grateful. Don’t fucking trust anyone who is grateful. They aren’t. Next time, anyone asks me for help in this way I’m saying no. Your going homeless I don’t care you people don’t respect those who you ask for help that’s why you are in this situation in the first place.

would try

Santa is as real as Obama prove me wrong

Kanye is clearly highly advanced and you just don’t get it (kidding)

@Hojo I am grateful for my Santa memories And I am god

Listen to

In Jed’s book Theory of Everything he says the pursuit of truth is not spiritual endeavour and I’m wondering if anyone can help me clarify this? To me personally, the pursuit of God Realization and Truth truth is spiritual. Thanks for your help.

Forum was down.

Making Actualized.org better? Create some content that promotes and supports people actually contemplating instead of just filling their heads. It may take a radically different approach to content creation but could be worth it. Whether it’s exercise pages, books, etc I would be willing to pay for these PDF’s if they helped me contemplate at a higher level

@Michael569 They can be deleted you just gotta finesse it

@LSD-Rumi I think it is

Isn’t that part of the work?

I’ve had discussions about spiritual talks on Reddit. These upvote downvote things lead to fighting and abuse if the system.

Nah, Buddhism has teachings that would help you orient these things. Right thinking, Right lively hood… a basic understanding IE, reading a single book about the cognitive framework of Buddhism could easily be done in 2 weeks during this 20 year period and be applied to your overall personal development path as it’s framework aligns with many self help areas. I am not convinced it’s that linear. What a shame to go 20 years and not look at the fundamental basics of Buddhism. At least look at the heart of Buddha’s teachings, eightfold path, the turning of the wheel etc. Having that cognitive framework I think may be useful. Personally Tate does not appeal to me. But, I can learn from anyone. Though I wouldn’t look up to tate, I saw some things in him I could use to be more authentic in the world. To be willing to be myself in public regardless of their opinions. Just, his ability to be himself and be confident. But, beyond that I don’t really like the guy. You can learn and see things in people you want while seeing things you don’t like. If you can’t learn from everyone… idk,

I ain’t never seen an ass like that make my Slinky my go boing booing boing

@Danioover9000 I sense for most peoples it’s his confident energy more than his actual dealings

@Moksha Exactly…

@Moksha You misunderstand. I’m transcending all teachers . Im firing you because: 1. I’ve heard it all me before 2. Your words won’t get me to where I want to go 3. You aren’t saying anything new to me personally. I’ve also fired everyone else too. Doesn’t mean I won’t read them as I enjoy this stuff. But, they are fired. I’ve realize all anyone can say to me regarding truth and consciousness is things I’ve heard before which are false.
