Cartel is fused with the government and many economic interests in different states of Mexico. It’s not an easy operation. It’s a tumor connected to all sorts of other important organs. You can’t just go in and tear it out.

Congratulations. A massive break up or death in the family will do the same. In an instant these ideas we had which brought some sort of predictability to the uncertainty of life melt away in an instant. And it feels like a kick in the stomach when it hits. We see truly we are living in nature, not separate from it. Always changing. This law doesn’t bend for you or me or anyone. But this actually is an invitation to really connect and rediscover love again. If the fantasies we placed on reality which we clung to due to our false beliefs that they kept us safe, the same fantasies of judgement and limitations on ourselves also melt too. The world has plenty of corruption and liars in it. I do see you really focused on these aspects of life where people seem addicted to lying and it wouldn’t be too far off to predict that only death will set them free of their choices. But at the same time seeing the beauty in life as people come clean and survive and handle these ups and downs is enough to keep oneself from becoming nihilistic. I do see how people are different genetically and have different challenges or talents that maybe modern economics favors more. But I think seeing the inherent value in that is important. In fact looking away from this value is a lie itself.

I am here and the culture is more sexually open but it has its open dating problems and it doesn’t mean every girl left and right wants to sleep with every guy. They are just somewhat more open about it here and maybe more sexually liberal if they like you.

I have not read every post by Leo but the thing is he uses harsh words. I don’t agree with his characterization or analysis but it’s his style. You could view people as genetically inferior or view them as different and holding value in different way. Comparing one as better or worse is so contextual it falls apart when living from expanded consciousness. Wording matters, but I wouldn’t impose my wording and the way I think on anyone.

I think behind closed doors Elon thinks he’s above these guys and that they are stupid and easily manipulated. I do think he shares some of their values but he is on his own path as an oligarch and he will side with whichever side allows him to do that.

@Leo Gura when do you think Trump and Elon will fall out? I don’t see Trump standing by while Elon takes more and more of the spotlight.

Well sure, I meant just relative to Trump. Elon planted better seeds in his life so his fruit is sweeter and I do see of a higher vision compared to Trump. Trump is entirely a mafia cretin that wants to enrich his family first and has an egomaniac view like he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Elon does to a large extent to but you don’t go into green energy and tech valuing the same things as Trump. That automatically makes Elon slightly more honest but to be honest myself I don’t think it’s all that much.

Elon is already pressing that $500 billion Trump AI deal. Say what you want but Elon actually looks honest when you stand him side by side with Trump. Wonder how much Elon can get away with stepping on Trump’s toes. This is bound to lead to a falling out.

And life goes on and a new chapter begins? This is why I’m gently embracing it and knowing everything will be ok. I think I can let it grind me down or embrace this change and a new chapter, learn and grow. I do believe there exists another chapter with shared love and relationships with new people and a new woman. Just challenging to imagine it now going through this change.

I’ve lost track of this discussion. Are we questioning Elon’s merit and effort? He is absolutely an exceptional tech entrepreneur. You could not swap him out for just any other person from a similar background. That doesn’t contradict his selfishness is destructive to the greater whole of humans who want democracy and economic equality.

Would value you keeping us updated on your journey towards recovery. I have little advice to offer other than to pray for strength and to remind yourself daily you are valuable and can cope with anything that comes your way. Come here if you ever need support.

Can you all share your big picture understanding of what is occurring today and why it seems - a new world order of alliances is forming - why conflict is on the rise and potential hot conflicts between powers look more likely than recently - why democracy is declining and denial of truth is rampant - why populism authoritarian and oligarchy is rising - why things seem more separated than in recent decades - the future of economies, money and work with recent technological gains and ai automation - why the world seems unstable more than recently

this is creepy as shit, classic authoritarian spectacle, sadam and hitler did stuff like this in public too

I just realized, the way to cripple this administration is to actively stoke division in it, opposing it I think at this time is pointless while Dems lack a clear message / alternative to offer. Someone get Elon and Donald arguing!

I actually was pondering this earlier and I do believe Elon does have some higher goals and visions and is definitely not cut from the same cloth as Trump. Elon is definitely unaware of how corrupt he himself is and how he skews his bias in favor of his companies, moralizing them. But he does hold higher values. You don't do space travel or create electric vehicles valuing the same things as a banker or oil tycoon. As for Trump? He is a deeply corrupted, a much lower conscious, selfish man, as much as I find a hierarchy of consciousness to have it's own problems, it's applicable here. This is Trump, I think Elon sees himself as smarter than Trump due to his technical and business abilities which actually did harness and create genuine value, as apposed to Trump's who was a reality tv star and scammer largely before he became president. Elon thinks he can manipulate Trump and instill some of his higher values such as electric vehicles and technological advances into this administration. Trump is not dumb either, he is definitely aware of Elon's motives, their partnership is more so out of shared advancements where they overlap and loosely over shared values. Elon is popular enough to keep him safe from being thrown under the bus by Trump (for now). Bannon has already been eaten by Elon, he has established himself firmly in this movement and Trump knows he needs Elon for this to be a success politically and in public image.

Phase One Thick Face, Black Heart leads us to winning, yet our victory often has no sweetness. More often than not, life, through its mysterious forces, will cause our ill deeds to catch up with us. To conquer others through ruthless means is not difficult: all you must do is agree to sell your soul to the devil. Chu, Chin-Ning. Thick Face, Black Heart: The Warrior Philosophy for Conquering the Challenges of Business and Life (p. 16). (Function). Kindle Edition. This book is in @Leo Gura reading list. It is an amazing book for anyone who wants to no longer care what others think of them and seek approval. It's also amazing to understand the minds of these people. You can adopt their same mindset as well, and applying it guided by truth, honesty and integrity, and you will be the embodiment of change you wish to see in the world.

The J6 pardons is perhaps the most diabolical form of collective denial I’ve ever seen in my life. In any other scenario with politics and bias removed every single person would have seen than as a riot and Trump responsible. It takes a next level form of dishonesty and denial of truth to warp your mind to defend that. Since conservatives know it’s wrong to be dishonest openly they have to go through extreme forms of mental mutilation to hand wave that away. I think Trump denying the 2020 election and that riot were perhaps the two biggest issues I had with him but they were to be expected from such a deeply warped and dishonest person. I think that right there has perhaps done irreparable damage to the USA as a democracy, it won’t be for another generation until that is rewritten in history. There will be millennial and gen z trumpers in denial till the day they die. Nothing will change these people’s minds except physical death.

The thing about dooms day prepping is you are occasionally right about it and then your entire life ends up getting built around this mindset and all else suffers. I don’t see any indication your money is less safe now than it was 10 years ago or when the Great Recession came along which in hindsight was a pretty mundane time for Americans compared to now. Just always be living by principles and trusting in yourself. Don’t live above your means. Save more than you spend. Work on your skills and walk your path with integrity and focus on attract wealth, build unbeatable inner resilience and stay connected to spirit and your passions. There is nothing guaranteed in life. You can be doing everything right and aligned and still find challenges that may topple everything. That is life. That is the lesson. That is freedom. In the end, everything will be ok.

I’m not so freaked out. We made it through Covid, the (real) Ukraine war started in 2022 and crazy inflation all happened under Biden. Not saying he’s to blame but my day to day life as an American citizen that isn’t broke or illegal probably will stay the same. For refugees and people who rely on government programs, I feel bad for them and could see it getting harder. Home ownership is out of reach even for the middle class today so if you own a home you will be most likely just fine. I don’t see the USA passport weakening too much. I’m a dual citizen too of Germany so I can always go to the EU. A lot of us will be fine, those on the edge will not be.

Dems are soft as baby shit, I’m tired of them not getting tough, they put goofy inclusion politics and PC culture ahead of the greater good. A nation falls when a general is scared to send some soldiers to their deaths, sacrifices for the greater good.

We need to mature. The amount of corruption and problems AI can cause if used with selfish intentions is wild.

Yes, this is another way to describe it. Intuition is the silence of love, guiding emptiness. It can only be described poetically. Intuition does not care about you buying or selling bitcoin like some people will describe as their intuition, at least from my point of view. Because I've had impulses that were right and had ones that were wrong and mistakes as well.

That is exactly what intuition leads to. But it is not to be mistaken with overthinking or self doubt. It's hard to describe, there is a flow to it but it often leads to looking at what you believe and why you believe it. I think you guys call the first good feeling or impulse that comes up that feels good to follow and label it as intuition, this is a very new agey comic book spider sense way of looking at intuition. From my experience this is not intuition. Intuition is silent. It never speaks at you or tells you what to do, it is a silent voice from within. It is a holistic sort of feeling, radiating wisdom that is always here and now. It feels sort of all knowing but paradoxically seeks and leads to learning and surprises where things unfold with no attachment to the outcome. When aligned with it you deeply value understanding and seek to understand why you believe what you believe and what is running you. It guides you to freedom while still being equally engaged and responsible for life. Intuition is not some magical spidey sense force that gives you the answer to an ABCD question on a test.

The thing is I believe intuition is greatly misunderstood, or at least experienced differently by people. you use the word meta here an to me this is sort of what the intuition is. It isn't some loud inner voice that talks at you. It is more so a current or natural flow that is most silent, it's a sort of knowing and it is not outcome attached nor detail attached, it usually won't give loud alerts like your phone telling you to buy a stock, even though some people credit their lottery wins to intuition. From my experience intuition leads more to freedom and liberation and is more so concerned with keeping oneself honest and with integrity, but it never forces and it doesn't turn this into a dogma or truth into some religion to follow. It is a quiet indescribable way within that leads you to freedom and as you walk that path things in your life fall together in really nice and beautiful ways, you start to notice the goodness more. I think where a lot of people trip themselves up is they expect their intuition to just tell them what to do and then they start picking and choosing whatever feels good or serves some bias of theirs. Intuition is beyond all that, and quiet, it will never talk at you but from you. It's your true inner guidance and unique way of navigating life.
