Would you say a synonym or an attribute of god could be infinite freedom?

Is it like one and done. You have the insight and it’s clarity. Or is it more like you have to come back to it again and again. And tackle it from different angles etc. Because old beliefs are stubborn and sometimes seemingly stuck in the body?

Only if you stop making things up too.

How do you know that? I mean maybe, maybe not. It‘s unknowable anyway.

The Universe doesn’t care about you.

Uhm yes isn’t that like the basic premise of spirituality and non duality, buddhism etc?

Russia is imperialist colonialist too you know. 🦭

Thank god those tech billionaires seem nerdy and mildly autistic and not charismatic. Imagine a charismatic tech billionaire came along.

Also good judgement on the woke stuff.

Never heard of him/her.

Yes i think so too. And then at some point there will be a counter-counter-counter backlash.

Yes. Eating salad is also this which you spoke of.

That was a great episode btw.

Almost forgot about that Listening to it now.

Once lab meat is safe according to studies. I might move to that.

I think that stuff will just backfire very much at some point. You can’t force religion on people in 2024. It‘s like the woke movement trying to force their views on people. Or the Iranian govt trying to force islmic views on people. Eventually people will get really annoyed with you. And form an opposition.

Ukraine needs their own nukes i think. They can’t trust the US to defend them. Then Ukraine and Russia can be fun nukey neighbours like India and Pakistan.

So far it seems kind of like it’s working though. Russians lose a lot of people but probably moreso from the poorer regions and Russians and Putin don’t really care.

I think it’s interesting.

1 a.m. It‘s snowing and it’s so beautiful imo.

^ and here’s a Ukrainian opinion on it.
