I wonder how long it will take before Canada makes 5-meo illegal. Modern culture is so low consciousness it takes something powerful and treats it like a toy.

If Trump wins, its the Democrat Party's fault. Their organization is incompetent, corrupt or doesn't have what it takes to force Biden to retire and get someone who still has all his marbles like Newsom.

Small print: Some people may become psychotic or meet God.

Tate urges all men to get rich, but the nature of the capitalist system is that there is only a few at the top. If everyone is rich, you are just average, i.e. inflation. It is the matrix (capitalist system) that enables Tate to be rich. But, he claims to be at war with the matrix. His point of view contradicts itself. He also gives bad advice. The most valuable thing you have is your sanity. If you are sane, you don’t need a lot of things to be happy. You can be low profile and live off the grid. You can also attract a sane woman and have real love. The women around Tate are all users just like him. They use each other. His accusers are not innocent although they may have the law on their side.

He is try hard. A young man won't be served by adding all those false layers.

Tate isn’t the person to go to for survival advice. By working on youself, you can become low profile and get rid of the personality quirks that distort your reality and make you vulnerable to the manipulations of Internet clown world. You don’t need to be rich. If you are sane you can adjust to any environment. You will have the eyes to find one of the few sane women in the world and have a peaceful life. It’s better than the stress of being high profile and facing a life in prison.

I lived in Mexico for 10 years. I liked it. There is more freedom to be yourself than in America. Even the street dogs are tranquilo.

I have found therapists to be useless. They actually have less human relating skills than the average person.

Most of these people facilitating 5-meo don’t know what they are doing. The best you can hope for is that you luck out and have an interesting experience which will eventually fade and not improve your life. But, if anything goes wrong and you are left with a serious problem – your facilitator will look at you with a blank stare. Ask this facilitaor if he even knows CPR.

I agree that the long-term effects of psychedelics should be taken seriously. The reality is that science, which neglected study of psychedelics due to political reasons, knows very little about them and has not done long-term studies. When I was in Peru, I saw the shaman, who was in his 50s, routinely carry two heavy water bottles on his shoulders while walking up a jungle hill. He has consumed a ton of Ayahuasca and has been smoking mapacho since he was a child. Western reductionist thinking lacks context. In what context are you doing it? Is your context harmful or healing? That’s why I always have a strong intention and only do the sacred medicines under ceremony.

I agree with most of what he says. The marketing of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been brilliant, but it is not the ultimate fighting syle. This is just a marketing slogan which has created a money making business. Although, looking at it more realistically, BJJ is a legitimate martial art. Their promotion convinced many men that Karate is a joke, by matching mediocore karate practioners against the Gracies in a ring controlled by them and under their rules. I like this video he did on real Okinawan Karate, similar to what I trained under.

"Awaken your soul" is in Costa Rica and does Iboga retreats. They recently got a facilitator who is a real shaman that grew up in the Bwiti tradition. I attended a zoom call where he was introduced and my impression was that he was both calm and humble. https://www.awakenyoursoul.co/team-members/maviango-nguimbi

The Karate masters of Japan where very careful about preventing injuries. The thing that was valued was control and development of character. Hence, the sparing was always non contact. You had to be able to throw a punch powerful enough to kill at someone’s face and stop it one inch from contact. I trained and got a black belt under a master and 10th degree black belt from Japan. He was not happy about full contact Karate and felt it degraded the art. In America they get hung up on this discussion of which style is the best and if there isn’t full contact it’s not real. America is a shallow materialistic culture and is too immature to comprehend the spiritual aspects of the martial arts. And the reality is that it is real the way they practice in Japan.

It sounds like you are conscious of your motivations and feelings. As long as you maintain awareness, try it and see what happens. Experiment. Then you will self correct. That will give you more real guidance than someone giving advice.

But wouldn't that same reasoning apply to the monuments constructed by the Third Reich?

How many Muslim countries have dropped bombs on European countries? How many Muslim countries have militarily occupied European lands (including the US)? Iran is anti US because Iran was dominated for years by the US backed tyrant the Shah of Iran. If Islam wasn’t so peaceful we would be in real trouble.

I have heard that Muslims are chill in Turkey and friendly to non Muslims. Most of the extremists Muslims are actually a direct response to the legacy of oppression and colonialism. It is really more political than religious.

That lecture by the former Chinese foreign minister was awesome. Unfortunately, he won't be listened to by the crazies that control US foreign policy.

The New York Times had an interesting article which claims that the Arab countries are also cracking down harshly on the pro Palestinian protestors. “For decades, Arab activists have linked the struggle for justice for the Palestinians — a cause that unites Arabs of different political persuasions from Marrakesh to Baghdad — to the struggle for greater rights and freedoms at home. For them, Israel was an avatar of the authoritarian and colonialist forces that had thwarted their own societies’ growth.” “What’s happening to the Palestinian people clarifies the foundation of the problem for Arabs everywhere, that the problem is tyranny,” said Abdurrahman Sultan, a 36-year-old Kuwaiti who has participated in sit-ins in support of the Palestinian cause since the war began.” So the leaders of the Arab countries fear the protestors because they are afraid that the protestors will also demand freedom for their people. This illustrates more of the context and real complexity of this issue. The Jew vs. Muslim narrative is a shallow diversion of the real issue: freedom for all vs. tyrannical rule by a few. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/29/world/middleeast/gaza-arab-protests-crackdown.html?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAQmoPN_OHShf3lARjVoubzwJqW54QBKg8IACoHCAowjuuKAzCWrzw&utm_content=rundown&gaa_at=g&gaa_n=ARTJ-U-LqKaMelytTCiLZMJT4KlPK2Lm3X30Sa384fEzmLTW3RgXPWL3au1TvP6tvZFqG8RuhE6F4gCnyLRPEzOTLZJLFver3Q%3D%3D&gaa_ts=662fbe60&gaa_sig=4gguJ_buqHNT7Dhr2yI7ODUoQkJ0frLbKgmyYgLycMo-Stl0vboCSO354iER3l5wGJyjcrBQVO48gYvbfz3Kpw%3D%3D

Jordan Peterson has a delivery problem. Showing too much anger makes one look weak. And ironically he has the same righteous indignation as the social justice warriors he criticizes.

News goes for sensational stories and always leaves out context and nuance.

The website "Democracy Now" has good coverage of this. These protests were peaceful and they were met with a heavy handed response. What ever happened to freedom of speech? It reminds me of the beginning of the protests during the Vietnam War. The violent response of the state just led to the spread of protests. https://www.democracynow.org/2024/4/23/columbia_university_joseph_slaughter

Now that there is finally going to be a trial, the only thing that matters is the evidence that is ruled admissible by the Romanian court. That is what will decide their fate. Everything else is gossip and useless chatter.

Mearsheimer is being misquoted. He never gave a doomsday narrative. Referring to the global situation with all the conflicts, he said things are going to get worse. I think that is accurate unless the West gets better leadership.

Yes, 20 mg is .02 grams as I said in my previous post.
