  1. I think becoming more conscious makes us put ourselves in situations that make us think in new ways and give us the ability to see in what ways we could change ourselves. As you can see, becoming more conscious is an effect of some cause.
  2. That's why you have to keep it a secret forever, unless you can find the perfect moment. To be honest, I prefer not to tell anyone, even if they won't be able to handle it. It's liberating, and I can focus on thinking.
  3. That's something. Some of us can't even share some simple truths with our parents. Lol.
  4. @Leo Gura, thanks for sharing!
  5. How the hell would someone misunderstand what Leo said? He is saying progress comes with costs, and recognizing the costs is good. I don't think he means that conservatives always understand what they're against.
  6. Don't women who are constantly in their feminine have their problems? It seems like you are saying that women being in their masculine is a reaction, but in their feminine is being themselves, as if femininity for all women is more fundamental than masculinity.
  7. @Lila9, why do you think that the opposite couldn't be the case? Are women in their divine feminine in conflict with the divine masculine? Or are you going to say for women it's the opposite?
  8. @PurpleTree, how is it worse than the current naming? I was thinking about how people could perceive it.
  9. Claude AI. The limitations of woke ideology: Oversimplification of complex issues: Woke ideology can sometimes reduce multifaceted societal problems to simple binaries of oppressor vs. oppressed. This can lead to overlooking nuances and complexities in social dynamics. Purity tests and call-out culture: There's a tendency in some woke circles to harshly judge and "call out" those perceived as not being woke enough. This can create an environment of fear and self-censorship, potentially stifling open dialogue. Tokenism and performative allyship: The pressure to appear woke can lead to superficial gestures rather than meaningful change. This can result in tokenistic representation or performative actions that don't address root issues. Potential for division: While aiming to promote equality, some applications of woke ideology may inadvertently reinforce divisions between groups. This can sometimes lead to increased polarization rather than unity. Academic and intellectual limitations: In some cases, woke perspectives may limit academic freedom or discourage exploration of certain research topics deemed controversial. There are concerns about potential echo chambers in academic settings. Overemphasis on language: While language is important, there's a risk of focusing too much on terminology at the expense of substantive action. Constant evolution of acceptable language can be difficult for some to keep up with, potentially alienating allies. Intersectionality challenges: While intersectionality is a key concept, it can sometimes lead to a complex hierarchy of oppression that's difficult to navigate. This can create conflicts between different marginalized groups. Backlash and reactionary responses: Aggressive or confrontational approaches can provoke strong negative reactions, potentially hindering progress. This backlash can lead to the rise of anti-woke movements and policies. Cultural relativism vs. universal values: There can be tensions between respecting cultural differences and upholding universal human rights. This becomes particularly complex in discussions of global issues. Economic focus: Some argue that woke ideology focuses too heavily on identity issues at the expense of class-based economic inequalities. Burnout and compassion fatigue: The constant awareness of societal problems can lead to emotional exhaustion for both activists and allies. Potential for authoritarianism: In extreme cases, there are concerns that enforcing woke ideals could lead to authoritarian tendencies in institutions or governance.
  10. @Paradoxed, If you noticed, your questions are the answers. At least fairness is treated as a relative thing.
  11. @integral, well, I think people here have had those kinds of experiences at a young age. I mean, what kind of person would be interested in what he says. I would say that he is great at understanding and explaining stuff in depth.
  12. Was he aware that he was in the postmodernist stage at the age of 15?
  13. I think instead of free speech, it should be fair speech.
  14. To clarify things, I wasn't attacking him. It's difficult to know if someone is a donkey or not. Maybe I'm a donkey believing that someone else is a donkey. Maybe I'm a donkey in some things and not in others.
  15. What if the donkey could believe that it has achieved something beyond, but actually it hasn't?
  16. @Alexop, maybe their goal in life is different than yours? It could be that you are limiting yourself to what spirituality should be. Although I agree, often people talk too much and are perhaps saying the same things in different ways on topics that are dramatic.
  17. @NoSelfSelf, I also agree with you in taking responsibility. If someone abused you, you could say that you didn't know better at that time, but what the abuser did is on his/her. Also, I think there's more to being a follower or leader. You could have the mindset of a leader but want to be led, or the opposite.
  18. That could happen. You live and learn. But leaders are responsible for keeping their followers blinded.
  19. @NoSelfSelf, I would say that it's an inspired and also blinded following. This is more about having unrealistic expectations of others. I think it's best to know when to learn from others and when not, which is quite difficult.
  20. @NoSelfSelf, I agree, although it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a cult. I love it when leaders take responsibility to teach their followers to think for themselves.
  21. @NoSelfSelf, if you position yourself as a leader, then followers will gather around you.
