They way I frame it is like training mathematicians to use calculators. Sure there has to be an investment and a period of learning but then the task at hand becomes much more efficient. It is neccessary for their job to know that skills. Again, not all martial arts translate well into policing, as we've discussed earlier. I just focus on two facets: takedowns and groundcontrol. Please tell me with a straight face how come a police officer doesn't have competence in these two skills. The martial systems that have trained those facets in more depth are wrestling, judo and jiu-jitsu. My point is to make cops have the first or second belt at least or otherwise make specific training camps for policing. In the same way it is done in the military world, where they cherry pick the needed skills from martial arts for their particular needs and make a million dollar program out of them. Just a similar, more realistic version of that for cops. A solid training camp and maybe the condition of earning the belt before X years of working as an officer, to make it more accesible. I understand that, it is a very legit point. Again, it's not bulletproof, in fact I build upon what you say as an argument to further promote martial training. If it is more chaotic and involves many more variables than martial arts, how come cops are not even trained in basic martial arts scenarios? It's like saying no need for you to learn how to light a BBQ because in the woods it's gonna be very very different, don't you see? Well I say, if you haven't even been trained to light a BBQ how on earth are you gona thrive in the woods? I did with the 3 videos I posted but here you have more to build background. Why Police Officers Should Learn Jiu Jitsu Why BJJ Is So Important For Police Officers & Great Technique For Police Officers by Nick Pollaro Most police officers end up gravitating towards jiu-jitsu but in my opinion it takes time to translate those skills into policing (2 years aprox). As jiu-jitsu is probably 70% grappling and 30% wrestling and you do need that wrestling in the beginning for being a cop. I assume wrestling does translate very well but is unpopular and physically demanding. So as an MMA practitioner, if I would be setting a police training camp I would start with wrestling experience, just hands on playing and making them try what works and what doesn't, and afterwards teaching them basic takedowns like double and single leg. Then Jiu-jitsu techniques for ground control and the dirty fights that happen on the floor. Lastly I would do some judo throws in case they are against bigger opponents, as a developmental focus in judo is to use the force and momentum of a bigger opponent against itself, so I believe that would be useful once the basics are covered. These are my fancy ideas but they also come from experience and from understanding the needs of police officers and their modus operandi. If I would be defending myself in the street my approach would be dramatically different, I would never wrestle or go to the ground. Cops play in pack and have guns. I would throw a boxing combination and get myself quickly out of there. This is to say that I carefully consider all that I learnt from MMA and many martial arts I've practiced over the years (taekwondo, judo, jiu-jitsu, boxing) for the needs at hand. Whether it is self defence or the martial training cops need to skilfully perform their job. Touche Zero first hand Experience in Policing Decent Experience in Martial Arts So it all boils down to how much we don't know

@Leo Gura You maybe should have this conversation with Ralston. How much experience do you have in martial arts? Maybe I'm wrong and you do have experience, but it seems to me your last blog quote can be very well applied to your position here. Undermining the necessary role of martial arts like wrestling and jiu-jitsu for policing. For anyone trained feels very cringe the way some cops are handling these situations: physically ineficient and unprofessional. Just medium level wrestling, judo or jiu-jitsu and two officers would have handcuffed that black beast, I'm telling you. On the other hand, you can see police officers with solid martial training and how well they handle these situations. Imo, I cannot comprehend how martial arts are not a compulsory skill to become a cop, in the same way it is demanded for the military. It does make sense because they have different priorities like de-escalation but they should be professionals in takedowns and ground control at least. Here is a little extract of the martial arts training you receive to become a soldier in the US: Otherwise nevermind, it's just my perspective. I don't wanna feed this too much. I just feel like you may be wrong and as that doesn't happen very often I wanna make you conscious of that.

This is huge and hardly even mentioned. At one point this became so obvious to me that I decided to do kundalini to train my nervous systems for psychedelic energetic floods. Martial arts really build a foundation for trips, both biologically and psychologically. Something to consider strongly, it was the biggest bottleneck for me and it can be for many others as well. Ironically, you ability to go high is affected by your ability to go wide and stable with your regular spiritual practices.

Even tech stocks did pretty good in the global pandemic. I wouldn't narrow it all down to people being addicted, money is the reason why they foment addiction. I would say the human is fascinated by what it can craft and such pursuit is being done by its own sake at this point. These CEOs don't even know where AI is heading but curiosity and a global obsession is feeding the machine non stop. Values also play a role, because where value and attention goes money flows. I've been contemplating these weeks about what stage green capitalism would look like.

@Princess Arabia Animals also use tools, this is the primitive origins of tech. If you keep following the thread you may end up with a computer.

Attaining the Equanimous Buddha Mind

I would disagree. Why then is there infidelity since the beginning of times? Why then today in regions like Africa and the middle east Polygyny is the social norm? Be careful with making western values universally embedded into the human DNA. Literally millions of humans have both holded and been satisfied by non-monogamous relationships in the history of mankind, so let that fact sink in. I gravitate more towards the dual-mating hypothesis, which suggests that humans evolved a mix of monogamous and non-monogamous tendencies to balance reproductive and social needs.

Any updates on this case?

@fabger it really is true, sometimes I see a super hot women on the street and lose my poise for a moment, then I remember even if I fucked her it's not even that amazing afterall.

So many languages and you decided to speak Truth The art of joggling is inferior to the art of craftsmanship.

@OBEler If I was trying to get a lifetime supply I would calculate half a gram of 5meodmt and half a gram of Malt each year. That would be my average, although my consumption rate oscillates a lot as many other psychonauts have shared. Last year I consumed around 300mg in roughly 8 months but this year I've hardly even tripped. It really depends on the moment of your life but overall, I personally would count for a gram a year to be safe in my numbers. I know I am much more sensible than you (for me 20mg is a medium-high dose, you need much more for a normal trip if I remember correctly) so maybe double that to two grams a year just in case. This should be more than enough. I understand, it's also a concern of mine.

In case you assume a monogamous relationship or just one wife/husband. There are many types of relationships which can be crafted which don't fall under those assumptions.

@Yali What I meant by "crazy" is that facts to women may totally be opaqued by feelings. Which to the masculine mind is craziness, it does feel like cognitive dissonance. The more feminine a women is the more her feelings are amplified. However, it makes sense if your brain is firing hormones and your emotions are 10x in comparison with your male experience. This feeling fact is also beneficial, of course, that's why you feel attracted to such polarity. Being able to feel allows for example for great empathy and connection. She might be awesome with kids, you just hear the baby cry, she can feel into what it needs with more precision than a man could ever dream of. On the other hand, I'm still contemplating on the rol of drama in women. Still many questions unanswered there. Btw, I got a great insight the other day about why women love to gossip, it's part of their survival mechanism, to understand and be acquainted with the social domain.

I've been hearing how your ability to learn new skills or study new domains of Reality becomes increasingly harder as you become older. However, I wonder how true that is, in case one actually trains its learning muscle and doesn't let it atrophy. On the other hand, I don't want to delude myself and find reduced cognitive abilities that prevent me from doing what I want later on in life. So I really wanna know this to take important decisions about my future

The more femenine the more crazy, that's the rollercoaster The man is the stability and direction she needs The women is the kite, the man is the thread Without one another: women goes lost with the wind and man is on the ground bored.

The sixth never comes and it's the reason why you're single You gotta invest in the good enough girl and take responsability for the growth and maturity of both. Conscious Leadership, right? Sometimes it's too much work, I agree. What for in the end, one might say?

that killed me

Take all of that into account and do the predictions. You'll have to throw the dice at some point and you can probably buy more if you fall short or buy so much that you can leave it to your offspring

Leveraging money for learning, that is an asset that may not be available when your younger. It does make a lot of difference

The dude was a beast no doubt but the fact that three police officers had no understanding or practice about how to perform a take down (single leg) or do a judo throw, nor how to hold him down was a bit embarassing. There are videos in youtube take me down and win X ammount of money and you can see that even against massive guys a trained inidivual takes them down and holds positions. I've also seen teenage school jiujitsu girls choking out untrained corpulent men. My point is simple, a police officer should have wrestling experience to be on duty. It's a necessary skill for the job imo. Agree, imagine how bad it gets when it's only force vs force and there's no kinetic intelligence or experience behind it. For police, striking no use they have guns. Grappling not that useful they have handcuffs and tasers. But wrestling is a must to takedown, control and put handcuffs.

@Keryo Koffa Killing the ego before you have developed one can create a crippled sense of human self. Do you love life? No you don't, you're trying to escape from it, from maturity, from the incarnated reality. I know very well where you're because I struggle with this shit everyday. It's of utmost importance to ground yourself, stop consuming psychedelics, stop any spiritual practice and go on building a healthy fulfilling human life. The avoidance of survival shows your lack of love for reality and immaturity. It is the ageless trascendental trap. You gotta close the strange loop with everyday reality and work on your baseline consciousness. Besides this, know that I love you. We can have a call anytime you want. Lots of love❤️

These policemen have 0 wrestling experience, 3 grown adults couldn't hold him down

You could use statistics for this : Count the pessimist amount (minimum you would do while still tripping) Count the average quantity you would consume typically in your lifetime Count the maximum quantity your body would be able to consume Finally average those three and you may have a good estimator. Sometimes it is also done (4times the average+pessimistic+optimistic)/6 Just a thought that crossed my mind and wanted to drop in case it was useful. You know you and are responsible for the decision and the quantity.

@Someone here If you socialize you gotta play by the human rules and thrive in that game. Otherwise, if you're not naturally talented and you don't have massive experience you'll lack the social calibration to navigate that medium and have fun. Let's remember socializing is supposed to be fun. If you raised a dog, you know there has to be a period of introduction to other dogs and packs of dogs. Usually in their younger years and the later it is done the more difficulties the puppet gets for understanding the norms and costums of the dog social domain. In the same way, one has to go through this socialization and domestication process for coexisting and connecting with others alike him.
