  1. This white veganism thing is basically SD Green canabilising (plant or meat based haha) itself (oh the irony). Turning two SD Green ideologies against each other. They make it about race and privilege while claiming to be anti race and privilege. It's almost laughable. This is why SD Green is still tier 1. They don't see or understand the contradicting believes within their own colour.
  2. Why is this term white veganism, it gives such a loaded emotion to conversation before the conservation even started. It's a bit of a rhetorical question I understand what the term means (same like the white guilt term that was used 10-15 years ago) but OMG, putting racism and colonisation in this and categorising every vegan like that is astounding. This is Toxic SD Green at it's best. BTW I myself am vegetarian for 13 years now. I started Vegan, after a few months I switched to Vegetarian, that suited my body better. I mind my own business, I do this for myself, sure I see the nature destruction and animal cruelty around me. All my relationships were with non-vegan/vegetarians. I don't mind, the only rule is for myself I don't cook meat or fish, that you have to yourself. BTW 2: The girl from the video is (conveniently?) forgetting another important Vegan group. It's the SD Orange Vegans. Vegans because of their body, not the environment or animal cruelty. One of the most famous sporters is Lewis Hamilton, big advocate of Veganism, and surprise..... He's black.
  3. No this is still stage Green, everything she doesn't agree with is called White veganism. (Which is such a weird term for me, but okay). She considers Israeli people also white. It really depends how you want to group it. She is in my eyes not SD yellow but still green. She is still fighting against, instead of transcending and including. The term white veganism has some racist tendencies to it, which she is exploiting, coming from a Mexican background. Me as a white guy, (should I be apologizing now?) lived in different parts of Asia, also there Vegetarian or Veganism is not often a choice but a necessity, because of poverty or environment, in the Himalayas room for herding cows, sheep etc. is limited. I'm well aware of the impact colonisation had on different parts of the world. It shaped a lot of cultures to the point that we don't know what the cultures would look like without the colonisation. I think this (white veganism) is mainly a US thing, In Europe this is not a big problem. Yes some people can't understand why people are vegan and some people have a problem with it. But nothing to the degree like I see in the US. Wow, The apologizing this guy has to do because he's white when he comes up to the stage. The NPO, in my eyes as the guy describes it is still considered SD Green, nothing wrong with that. I like the idea and the work (from what he describes), and he is trying to be open to more ideas. So maybe some SD Yellow elements, but it's still rooted firmly in SD green.
  4. It has to do with disappointment and betrayal on a psychological and ideological level. People feel disappointed or feel betrayed by the ideology they believe in, because they get exposed (and in a certain way accept the) information outside their ideological bubble. Their ideological view crumbles, underdeveloped ego's minds can't handle this and the ego mind searches for a new ideology to find comfort in, often fuelled by the information that made them doubt about their old ideological ideas. The mind settles on the new ideology and it becomes the new truth. Because the ego mind remembers that exposing yourself to outside ideas can be dangerous for the current ideology it puts up even a higher barrier then before. To make sure outside information can't upset the status quo anymore. If you look at it as underdeveloped ego minds it explains why even educated people can have radical shifts. Edit: Haha I didn't even read @DocWatts comment, quite similar.
  5. Just for the record, this human species, Homo sapiens (which we belong to) is estimated to be between 200.000 and 300.000 years old. If we're talking about human society (beyond hunter / gatherer development) it goes only goes back to 30.000 years. The dinosaurs were wiped out 66 million years ago. 100 million years ago was the reign of the dinosaurs. Humans and dinosaurs never lived together, unless you think the Flintstones is a reality tv show.
  6. Dutch response to cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel by ABC / Disney The segment where it came from: Lubach covers the news with a comedic flair.
  7. I've been fortunate enough to dive with different species of Octopus. And every time amazing to behold. This is a video octopuses having sex. At 8:23 (Not my video) but this is the spot where I dive. So far I have seen: - Common octopus - Blue ringed octopus - Squid - Cuttlefish (my favourite) There is nothing seeing the cuttlefish doing the hypnotizing strike in real life, that was one of my all time favourite diving moments Still on my wish list: - Mimic octopus - Bobtail squid If you're after octopus awakening there is nothing better seeing them in real life, in real interactions.
  8. Fake AI sh*t. Look at the youtube channel all the videos it's created. Also when I Google search on Elon Musk tiny house I get this: Elon Musk is associated with a $50,000 tiny home in Boca Chica, Texas, a foldable 20x20 ft model by the housing startup Boxable, rather than a Tesla-branded or officially released model. Recent YouTube videos claim various low-cost Tesla tiny houses are coming soon, but these are likely AI-generated or misinformation, according to user comments.
  9. This shows how the world operates, doesn't matter if it's US, Europe or China. These men spread fear because they act from fear, inside they're just small frightened children. I'm not saying there's no threat, but basically if China is attacked by the US, NATO will have failed, if it has not failed already. Mark Rutte get your ass moving. BTW, why is this not classified as WWIII yet? Russia is backed by China and North Korea (even sending in troops) Ukraine is backed by Europe and the US, We have 3 continents involved already, are we waiting for Antarctica to join to call it WWIII ?? Is it a strategic move to control media and population? Because the line is flexible even Wikipedia is vague.
  10. Be careful with this colonisation justification. The Europeans tried to do the same thing, with the Spanish it was in name of religion, with the Dutch it was in name of trade, I don't have to tell you how that went down. Granted there will be a select few locals in these countries that will benefit, because infrastructure has to be build and maintained, so but the majority of the locals will not benefit.
  11. The Internet needs to stop calling USA the West. The West includes Western Europe, Canada Australia, New Zealand, and yes The US. US is crumbling down, the rest of the Western countries have their struggles too, but nowhere near but these videos are highly biased to showing only the US and claiming the West is falling apart. From my own experience and living in Asia, the Chinese (people and government) are no favourite among other Asian countries. They bought big influence in Asian (and African) governments, by building roads and telecom networks. I'm open to the idea that US is done as the most dominant power, China (and BRICS) will probably be the next one. There are some good things there, but they're absolutely no angels, and they strive for world domination as well, just as Europe before, just as US before, but because of different era it works out differently.
  12. It's called Closed Eye Hallucinations/Visualisations or CEV for short. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-eye_hallucination There are 5 different levels. I had it level 3 and one or two times level 5 mostly when I was in my early adulthood. Would take me an hour and a half to get to sleep because the hallucinations would not stop. I know now how to control it better. I think stress and overstimulation of the brain was a culprit. By reducing this it went away. Also for me beep tones and hissing (Tinnitus) in the ears was stress related. If I'm really stressed and lay in bed and the CEV and Tinnitus is strong I focus on it deeply, it's my way of getting into meditation state.
  13. @Leo Gura In depth investigation into this Salt Water Croc
  14. @Schizophonia The Potato is a lie
  15. Has anyone seen this documentary? It's on Nebula behind a paywall. So I did not see it, but highly intrigued by it. It talks about long-time fraud, deception, devilry in the scientific community. If you have seen it or have access to Nebula, put it on your watchlist and if you're willing report back in this topic. @Leo Gura Maybe something for your ongoing blog subjects of the devilry within society and the problems with science and scientific approach.
  16. Just a counter perspective, the first hit on YouTube when I searched forementioned channel. I'm impartial, and this topic goes above may paygrade, so I can't comment on the details of this topic perse. @Vali2003 But I will comment on the style of your post. Your title and your post sounds more of a sales pitch then a genuine explanation. If you come out of the gate like this, you will automatically trigger one of 2 sides with the reader, or people completely buy into it and are sold (this is classical sales tactics) or people already have a negative attitude towards it because the world is full of scammers, grifters, oversellers, etc. You're on a self development forum where the owner is continuously training his readers how to look into all these kind of deceptive tactics, so I'm not surprised about the sceptic responses above. Again I'm not commenting on the programme or your personal experience perse but at your style. Having a more neutral approach to the subject will come over as more grounded and impartial, now it comes over now as a spokesperson for this subject, But 👍🏼 for you that you feel better. Wish you a good life.
  17. Bases is in development for Obsidian, it's more of a database style to make it closer to Notion. For now it's available as a sort of beta for Catalyst (paid) users. But once the feature is deemed stable enough it will be released to the normal version as well. Be aware that because Obsidian is local based, it's up to you to provide proper back-up. Also you can put it in Dropbox or OneDrive, but because it's unencrypted, the files are open to that company to be scanned and used however they deem necessary. So if you have highly private notes, something to take into account.
  18. Probably your prediction will be closer to the truth, then he will be grifting so much that he sells illegal "fishy" fish supplements as Omega 3 enrichment. Harvested from illegal fishing, with disease and heavy metal infected fish. Watch him call it the Fishy supplement. And the low consciousness people will love it, probably a new generation of easy influenceable young guys. Then at some point the truth comes out again that he scams his cronies. He will make an apology video and the circle is full.
  19. Next step: his wife leaves him, she can't handle the deranged antics of the guy no more. The juice is not worth the squeeze anymore. Gets a nice pay check in the settlement, so she still can maintain her luxury lifestyle for a while. Maybe there is a smart woman there and she can handle her own or she goes broke after her money runs out. Brian is send to jail for a while. After his release is flipping burgers at McDonalds somewhere, looking like a skinny worn out dude because what he did with his body. Let's see what happens to his sons, can go two ways. Or the brainwashing of their father is so severe and they follow in his footsteps of conning and scamming, or they completely turn away from him.
  20. Also this: "This isn’t a “true story”, but rather a collection of tiny true details from lots of different interactions, strung together for a vibe." For me this already an indication that giving this story anymore attention in this forum does not serve any purpose. We don't know what parts of the story we can trust. It's fiction, treat it as such.
  21. But in this case the woman in the story takes on the role of strength and stoicism, which puts off the men.
  22. She reminds me a little of this. I would loose interest in a woman if a date goes like this. The girl from the OP is over-analysing too much. I agree with @Emerald post on this.
  23. You're not invisible too me bro. To be seen or heard is such a basic need. To be denied that can make life really hard.
  24. So if you reduce the capitalistic nature of the health industry and maybe turn it more Socialistic (like in Europe) you reduce corruption as well. I'm not saying it will be eradicated, opportunistic low conscious people can still exploit the system, but far less then is seen in North America.
  25. Yes true, luckily for me I don't encounter too many (bad) Russians on the island here.
