  1. GPT The phrase “the blind leading the blind” originates from the Bible and is often used metaphorically to describe a situation where uninformed or unqualified people are guiding others who are equally uninformed. Biblical Reference: The phrase appears in the Gospel of Matthew 15:14 (KJV): “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Context: Jesus said this in response to the Pharisees, who were criticizing His disciples for not following traditional ceremonial handwashing. Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites, teaching man-made traditions instead of God’s commandments. He warned His followers not to follow such leaders, implying that they were spiritually blind and misleading others. Meaning: Literal meaning: If someone who is physically blind tries to lead another blind person, they are likely to fall into danger. Spiritual application: People who lack spiritual insight or truth cannot guide others effectively, and both will end up in ruin if they continue on a misguided path.
  2. China is many countries biggest market or business partner so they make a lot of money with China. China is the largest trading partner of over 120 countries. Largest trading partner of EU.
  3. I mean i have one and read most of it but it’s not that great imo. For example Baghavad Gita or Jim Newman are nicer imo.
  4. That’s amazing though that those fell away.
  5. Honestly the notion of being chosen ones is so cringe. Like ingrained narcissism. But what about Abraham? The three Abrahamic religions are named after him after all. Was he a good bloke? Was he nice or a fat guy? I‘ve never been religious.
  6. That’s why we have to mess with them. We can’t be bullied by psychopaths.
  7. Yea We can make fun of hippie Jesus, baby Jesus etc etc. While Muslims in Paris shot up a cartoon company and killed many people because of a Mhamed drawing. Je suis Charlie
  8. Funny enough the original Buddha was thin and nice. And still is is India, Thailand etc. Born in India the Chinese eventually made him fat and laughing. What about Abraham?
  9. It’s also that most of us live in western countries with free speech and freedom of religion where we can talk and make fun of jesus and paint him. While muslims can’t for example. But i think that automatically makes jesus cooler. That he can take criticism.
  10. Who’s that? I have a friend from Kenya named Moses but it’s weird that you’re mentioning him.
  11. I mean people say worse stuff about Mhamed. Release the files, don’t protect the philes boiii
  12. Both corrupt both hypocritical both violent and vile. The US tied to Israel and the violence in the middle east. Lots of regime changes in Latin America and elsewhere. Supporting murderous dictators. The US now goes against the ICC and the UN Francesca Albanese. And now also left UNESCO. Lots of bullying too.
  13. Funnily enough. Having less and less meaning to me feels freer and happier.
  14. Well it’s not nihilism because I’m imo saying the “me” produces meaning and it’s an illusion. And not that there is a me which lives a meaningless life o woeful me.
  15. All of basically. I’m just trying to be nice. Everything is meaningless.
  16. I think most of this stuff is just the mind playing tricks on you, survival mechanisms, coping mechanisms etc. and it’s mostly meaningless. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen for “you” and your story.
  17. I did one time when i was suffering from shrooms and i grew up atheistic.
  18. There’s no meaning to any of it imo. Meaning is the ego or brain or mind trying to make sense of what can’t be understood.
  19. Did you do the ayahuasca in group with a shaman? I’ve yet to do that. i just cooked it myself 🧑‍🍳
