  1. Not necessarily. The question is why has RFK decided that there is a better hope of implementing real changes to the status quo with Trump than with the Democratic Party? Since RFK is a legitimate progressive with street creds, it could be time for those still in the democratic party to go through some serious introspection and critical analysis.
  2. He was famous the day he was born. He is intimately knowledable of all the big players in Washington D.C and has met with most of the world leaders. I believe that the most effective thing Kennedy did is that he has potentially changed the message of Trump’s campaign. In his speech, Kennedy focused on removing corruption from the food supply and solving the problem of chronic diseases in children. When people look at this they will ask themselves which party is doing something important? What is more important: saving the children from chronic diseases or guaranteeing everyone is addressed by the correct pronouns (the focus of the democrat’s woke dogma)? If Trump redirects his message (“Make America’s children healthy again”), he could change the momentum and gain support. As a side note, Jill Stein is a physician and has also addressed this issue. She authored the report: “In Harm’s Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development”. https://www.kennedy24.com/end-chronic-disease
  3. Kennedy was willing to honestly compete in a Democratic Primary. Instead they stacked the system in favor of a president they knew was becoming mentally impaired. Then, the system makes it almost impossible for an independent candidate to compete due to arbitrary onerous rules. Then Biden doesn’t give Kennedy secret service protection, putting his actual life in danger. In light of the facts, his position doesn’t look that irrational. It was the democratic party that rejected him.
  4. Robert Kennedy's speech was incredible. He exposed the corruption in the democratic party. He exposed the neocons and their forever wars. He exposed the food industries systematic poisoning of the food supply to create chronic diseases in children so that the pharma industry can have a permanent income stream. Kennedy talks to people like adults and brings up the most important issues. The democratic party talks to people like children focusing on diversionary crap that doesn't matter to anyone. He said that he is keeping his name on the ballots in the non contestant states so I should be able to still vote for him. There is still a very small chance he could be president if neither Trump or Harris can get the required electoral votes. Here is the full speech which CNN didn't show.
  5. You become more natural by removing your layers. The layers produce quirky unnatural behavior. You find a way to express your real self.
  6. The "Layers" pdf he is selling on his website is a good read and gives you the general philosophy. You could take it from there and use the awareness to practice authenticity. It's better than this "peackocking" approach which just makes a man even more quirky and weird and may get him a few drunk bar girls. Keep in mind this longer range approach is to interact with high-quality women.
  7. 99% of what is being taught as cold approach is bullshit. This guy is the only one who is teaching something that will work. https://www.removelayers.com/ His basic philosophy is that most men can't connect with women because they have accumulated layers of phoniness in their personality. The solution is to remove the layers and become an authentic human being. The second leg of his approach is to only pursue high-quality women that you can actually have a relationship with.
  8. North Korea has made a recent defense pack with Russia and will most likely join the BRICS nations. They will be able to use their alternative payment system to escape crippling western sanctions. North Korea will then be able to break out of its isolation and develop its economy. https://www.cointribune.com/en/north-koreas-brics-approach-forging-a-new-global-equilibrium/
  9. You are forgetting that North Vietnam actually won the war and it was their communist government that has created their current successful economy.
  10. Yes, they are very good at business. But their intention is to win with business and trade. The US is increasingly relying on its military.
  11. Using the GDP as a measure of the real economy is short cited. China is looking at the long term and building infrastructure particularly in Africa. To survive you need resources. Even the Internet can’t function without certain rare earth elements. The world is like a monopoly board. The one who buys up all the hotels eventually wins. That’s why the gangsters who control the US want Maduro out of Venezuela, which is sitting on significant oil reserves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_and_Road_Initiative
  12. China asserts its regional dominance over Tibet and Taiwan which are right next door. China has a very peaceful foreign policy compared to the United States which brutalized Vietnam, a small country thousands of miles from its shores. There are neocons in the US foreign policy bureaucracy who are determined to assert hegemony and will not accept a multipolar world. The result is forever wars to prop up the global financial elites.
  13. I have given chatgpt highly complex sentences and it understands what I say as well as any human. It seems to have solved the natural language understanding problem. The responses could probably be detectable by a sophisticated human as they tend to be highly structured and politically correct. But the response system is designed to answer queries and retrieve useful information and not to act human. I wonder how an AI system that is specifically designed to give natural human responses would perform under the Turing test.
  14. Chatgpt seems to pass the Turing test.
  15. Shinzen Young believes it is possible to construct devices that aid the process of enlightenment. He is doing active scientific research collaborating with neuroscientists. One approach he is looking at the use of ultrasound to modulate brain regions involved in meditation related states such as increased awareness or altered perception. The technology might help facilitate specific brain states associated with deep meditation, making it easier for practitioners to enter and sustain those states. The path of enlightenment through meditation is already well known. The problem is that for most people it takes too long. The hope is that technology can be used to cut down the time to something reasonable. Shinzen’s view on 5-meo would be interesting, because Shinzen is very open minded. According to chatgpt, he has discussed 5-meo, but I have not been able to verify that yet. https://www.amazon.com/Science-Enlightenment-How-Meditation-Works/dp/1591794609
  16. If they got everything they wanted, it would probably do no more than return the United States to what was considered normal in the 1950s. In some ways, the 50s were more free - no seatbelts required literally and more broadly.
  17. I take Bufo mostly in Mexico. When I talk to facilitators in Mexico nobody has heard of non duality or enlightenment. The main paradigm is healing. But in America people assume that 5-meo has something to do with enlightenment. The reality is that 5meo just is and gives a certain type of experience. Could it be that it is just people interpreting the experiences in a particular way. One person interprets it through the lens of healing and another through the lens of awakening. As for experience, I agree that Bufo has given me experiences that meditation doesn’t even approach. But what is this proof of? I also get a dramatic experience from watching a movie in a Cinemax theatre which meditation cannot reproduce. Are dramatic experiences proof of anything? My hunch is that Peter Ralston should be taken seriously because he knows his subject and is a systematic thinker. He doesn’t have to take 5-meo. He should be able to meet with people who have taken 5-meo and tell if they have achieved the mind shift that he is looking for. As for my own experience with 5-meo, I choose not to put a label on it because it is so beyond labeling. It’s a non conceptual experience and the mind immediately wants to stick it in someone else’s system of categories. I prefer to live in the mystery.
  18. Psychedelics, including 5-meo, gives you an experience which the next day becomes a memory. It's not a substitute for meditation or the focused concentration needed for awakening. Psychedelics can help in healing, or releasing the samskaras - the purification of the mind. The plant diet, the way it is practiced in the Amazon, is really an extended meditation combined with detoxing the body through purging, which is practiced before taking Ayahuasca.
  19. I have done Bufo with policia in Mexico. They are caught in this weird karmic dance with criminals where they play the good guys and the criminals play the bad guys. But they are both in the same matrix. It is stressful and takes its toll and for some of them it initiates the awakening process and a search for the way out.
  20. To much focus is given to Trump’s personality rather than what he represents to his followers. He is basically leading a redneck revolt against the rapid changes imposed on society by the progressives. Before he ran for president, Trump was considered a traditional liberal. Bill and Hillary Clinton were his friends. If John Kennedy were alive today, he would be to the right of Trump. That’s how fast things have changed. There is also an urban vs. rural thing going on here. The rural people are always resistant to big changes whereas change spreads rapidly in urban settings. That’s why when the new Christian cult took over, the rural folks (i.e., “the pagans”) were the last to dump the old gods. It’s no accident the Olympics presented the trans Jesus as the symbol of their new religion. Trump’s followers (who are the pagans of 2024) prefer the old Jesus. Is that confusing enough?
  21. I don’t get why the elites and their media monkeys insist on forcing transexual stuff and drag queens on everyone at every opportunity. It’s not even cool. It just makes me yawn. They are really out of touch with aesthetic tastes and nature in general.
  22. No. My heart rate doesn't even go up anymore. I know someone who has had a heart operation who recently took it. But you need to keep the dosage reasonable. I can go deeper by improving my concentration through meditation practice rather than increasing dosage.
  23. My normal ceremony dose is 100 mg of Bufo Alvarius, which would roughly be 10 mg 5-meo.
  24. I never have any body load with Bufo Alvarius. I have never had nausea. It feels so pure and when I open my eyes everything is brighter and more clear. I have never done synthetic 5-meo.
  25. There is also the possibility of long term benefits. I know one entrepreneur who takes Bufo and says it improves his ability to think and solve problems.
