In response to the request of the first poster, here are some videos to watch. The Mind Control Cult of Christianity – How Christians use the Bible to Destroy Your mind and Soul Richard Carrier - a major historian on this subject, he believes that Jesus never actually existed. The Psychology of Christianity : focuses on the Judeo-Christian worldview https://rumble.com/v32mmoy-the-psychology-of-christianity-know-more-news-w-adam-green-feat.-uberboyo.html

Trying to figure it out just traps you tighter into the dream woven by good story tellers. Let it go and follow the path of a pure yoga. Purify your body and mind.

People who say meditation doesn’t work aren’t really meditating. They may be formally sitting for a period of time, but spend that time almost completely in their head absorbed in their thought trains. If you are traumatized, the trauma can make concentration extremely difficult. Before meditating, one should also work on detoxifying the body since the body and mind are one. In the East, a guru may require that you practice morality for several years to stabilize the mind before entering a serious meditation practice.

Coursera has a free course "Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT". https://www.coursera.org/

ChatGPT is extremely useful for learning. It’s like having an interactive textbook. In the traditional method, you read a chapter and then answer the questions to test your knowledge. It is static and inflexible. With ChatGPT, you can ask “But what about this?” questions to get a more complete understanding of the subject. It is the analogy of having a list of questions to ask the professor after class. As has already been mentioned, the quality improves dramatically by training the learning algorithm to a specific subject.

I have found chatgpt useful for learning Spanish. I can ask it questions about word usage that would take a lengthy search of reference material and get an instant answer. It is useless though for any controversial subject because it is heavily censored.

I have taken a few science classes with Coursera. The teachers were excellent and made things clear. This is a solution for teaching basic and even advanced subjects. Have the best teachers in the world record their lectures and make them available on the Internet.

Richard Feynman loved to teach. I had the pleasure of attending one of his lectures.

This ice bath is for 2-3 minutes. I was instructed to just breath deeply.

The SpO2 goes down during the breath hold - where you fully expel all air and then hold. You can verify this by putting a pulse oxymeter on your finger

But is the intense concentration needed to see the self possible in an intoxicated state?

Most psychedelics just stimulate your imagination and may activate past trauma. They still keep you in your mind. In Latin America, the plant medicines are used for both physical and mental healing. Martin Ball claims he experienced non duality with 5-meo and has written books on it.

If you are concerned, you can buy a fingertip pulse oximeter blood oxygen sensor SpO2, and monitor yourself during the breath holds.

The article says that. "The political leanings of young men have changed little over the past two decades, according to an analysis by the Survey Center on American Life. Last year, 43 percent of young men identified as moderate, 31 percent as conservative and 24 percent as liberal. Twenty years earlier, the numbers were more or less the same."

Robert Kennedy, Jr. chats on Zoom with regular folks.

survival = happiness

Before the 1960s, the traditional formula for centuries of a man working and the woman staying at home raising the children worked pretty well. Maybe this is a case of if it already works don't fix it.

There are plenty of countries where women like nice guys. Google "passport bros". Grow a pair and be who you are. Don't let a harpy sow the seeds of self doubt.

The bad motives that you are ascribing to him is not objective evidence unless you can read his mind. How do you know this? My proposition is to have freely available information and freedom of debate. If you are correct, you will win out.

Your sources deserve to be listened too. And so does the other side. But if you say something is misinformation, someone is making that determination and if they have power they can censor the other side. The idea of "freedom of speech" is that there is no qualified "censor" but ideas have to be debated in the public square.

RFK always sites to the scientific literature and with his excellent memory actually gives you the source and author. Also, other published scientists and doctors have been censored, not just RFK. Who decides which side evaluating the scientific literature is misinformation?

Who decides what is misinformation?

I would never openly admit at a Star Trek convention that I believe there are no aliens. That would be dangerous.
