  1. I agree i mean i haven‘t seen his instagram but he seems too gimmicky and always with these catch phrases i watched a few videos about him yesterday, don’t know if he can be considered black also i watched some discussions recently which included black people about nonduality, but don’t remember what they were called
  2. Yea i‘m asking because i don’t know what young earth creationists are really
  3. What when two people want something different, which makes it impossible for both to do what they want?
  4. Is that what some religious people of abrahamic faiths believe the earth is 6000 yrs old or something? We don’t really have those in europe but it would still be quite easy to make arguments for it
  5. So then you would put your hand on the stove, no pain, but you would destroy your hand and make it unusable. i saw a report once, there is a disease where people don’t feel pain. This poor kid always broke bones and burned himself because he couldn’t feel pain.
  6. Pain is necessary for survival, suffering is not (or so i read in a fortune cookie)
  7. And if you don’t suffer or identify with suffering, then there isn’t a problem (i’m assuming)
  8. Also since a lot of it is formed in early childhood and childhood, many aspects of it stay mostly childish imo it’s soo needy, like a baby ?
  9. It thinks we can not deal with painful raw emotions, because as small kids it was so painful so we built this whole structure/protection/house of cards/prison but actually we can deal with painful emotions, just feel them it’s ok
  10. Yea it’s wild, it’s always looking for love, validation and ways to get loved. But then it’s so scared of actually being loved or of losing love.
  11. my ego for example is also obsessed with not making look bad in certain ways which is very restricting, it mostly uses shame and anxiety as tools
  12. Sorry my dear comrade and friend unfortunately i’m not great at answering specific questions. i’m not a man for detail i’m more into the bigger picture, much like a forest elf or a politician with retardation.
  13. Well friends look Russia is just a bit of a downer nobody wants to hang with them that’s why they bully the countries around them it’s not just the Ukraine in Russias vicinity who wants to move away from Russia and closer to the west, others too, especially the people (but even governments) because even though there is a lot wrong in the west, it has much more to offer in terms of lifestyle, dreams, creativity, democracy, freedom of speech etc etc Putin maybe wanted to save Russia, but there’s no saving it. The system is antiquated, Russia will collapse and Putin probably accelerated it. The end friends
  14. free tibet babyyy ? (wow i’m so brave on the world wide web hihi)
  15. somebody should make a topic about the „marshall plan“ it‘s quite an interesting subject
  16. Basically saying the ussr (or ukraine today) had no other choice
  17. I don‘t know about this massace really but one difference is, the ussr defended their homeland (like ukrainians now) while the u.s. went to another continent to fight
  18. I think if let’s say men right wingers wanted to get trans women out of womens sports they should try reverse psychology and start cheering them on and become their biggest fans
  19. golf isn’t like soccer friend
  20. reading this book which talks about caffeine/coffee/tea and it's interesting to think before coffee/tea many people in europe drank a lot of alcohol all the time even in the morning because it was often deemed safer than water. so a lot or most of europe was tipsy most of the time. then around 1520 arabs and turks started bringing coffee to europe, they had a grip on it at some point the netherlands got a hold of the plants and started growing it in their colonies in indonesia so coffeehouses everywhere in europe, europe sobered up and became more rational the age of enlightenment and the industrial revolution followed, the industrial revolution would probably not have been possible without caffeine and artificial light so then europe needed more sugar in their cup of optimism, let's have sugar plantations in the americas also the whole tea/opium "trade" between the u.k. india and china some kings wanted to outlaw coffee at some points because people in coffeehouses were quite active with their blabbering and ideas but it was too late caffeine was probably also important in the u.s. civil war also tea was important in east asia, many monks used it for prolonged meditations they have the whole tea ceremony etc.
  21. Is it? the scandinavian countries and finland have the cross on their flag.
