Christianity has had a 2000 year trial period and it still hasn't created a perfect Christian heaven on earth. Couldn't God come up with a better plan? Couldn't God come up with a message that instantly and decisively convinces and converts the listener? isnt God powerful enought to come up with a message that is immune to corruption and misinterpretation? Yet Christians have been creating a whole bunch of devilery in the past 2000 years "in the name of God". Similarily if there is "One true God" why can't Christians agree with each other and create different sects? Muslims don't agree with each other either and they also claim there is "one true Allah".

Don't worry I'm not. God is here right now every moment no need for a church or a sacred ancient text. I mean religion is bullshit. And my post is my best proof of that. -

Couldn't an "all-powerful" God create an uncorruptible religion? Because all religions can be corrupted is proof that they are created by humans. Yes there's some truth to the religions but they weren't created by a God in the sky. -

Watch Leos videos, force your mind to meditate/contemplate 24/7, even when you are doing other stuff. -
When Genghis Khan invaded Europe, The Europeans thought the dark skinned devils were somehow a Jewish curse....... So the Christians, defenseless against the sophisticated Mongols, started rounding up and murdering the Jews instead🤣. (Source Genghis Khan book)

The Democrats lost the plot when Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden unfairly squeezed out Sanders during their primaries. Sanders was the correct left wing populist response to Trump.

This is the topic that the left is debating right now. I'm agree with Ezra Klein and the Abundance movement that says the left is too mainstream, too centrist, too status quo. We need more bold radical ideas that captivate and inspire people. Maybe not more trans issues but more radical ideas to solve income inequality and better messaging.

And the US didn't own slaves it was those "evil" slave owners. /S Taking responsibility for your actions is the first step towards better actions. From the Chinese perspective Trump is very much the US. The individual is the society and the society is the individual as Krishnamurti would say. Ya Trump sucks but Trump is a product of toxic bipartisanship, and Democrat inaction and poor messaging. He is also democratically elected. If the citizens of a country are stupid enough to elect him then the country is on the same level as Trump and is just as stupid. If they were fooled they're stupid enough to be fooled. -

I think I understand Trump's logic and I think I can stealman it pretty well. If we purchase more things from a country than it purchases from us we are losing money (and gaining goods). The US spends more money servicing it's debt than it doesn't on the military. Trump is trying to curb spending. His plan might make things even worse but at least he's addressing the debt issue that both sides of the aisle agree on is bad. -
You aren't afraid to ask the dark questions my dude. There is no need to wonder, there are already serial killers all around us, your family members and friends are all serial killers because they eat meat. Where's the line between human and animal? Even vegetarians are serial killers for that matter since the distinction between animal and plant is also blurry. Soldiers are legal serial killers who are commissioned by the government. The line between a civilian and a terrorist is especially hazy.

If you can't strike up a conversation with your neighbor, or the gym attendant, or someone beside you on the bus stop then what chance do you have with someone who you are really attracted too? People like friendly outgoing socially comfortable people. Practise being that and you will be a magnet for romantic partners.
-
So practice leading the conversation in a direction that you are interested in. Whether that's humor or deep/personal topics. This is an essential skill in dating too

Careful what you wish for. I would stay away from that shit. Common wisdom is to get a teacher and that's probably good advice. -

I bet you aren't excersizing. Do lots of cardio and weights everyday and you will be fine. -
Ya it's the issue of our time and the obsession will subside when it's generally accepted. Then another issue will come along that progressive will saberrattle over. That's how all things in society change. I bet there was an uproar by some when women were first allowed credit cards. Then that subsided too as will the trans issue. Maybe Trump will round them up into a Gulag first lol. Trans people correctly allude to the fact that putting on a dress is just as arbitrary and strange whether you were born with a penis or a vagina. Some societies men wear skirts (Scotland etc).

Ya great point and we must love and accept everyone. Sure, sitting around waiting for an extrovert to save you is one strategy. But it's a poor one that can waste years of your life. If someone is frustrated with their current situation I recommend learning and practicing communication skills throughout the day. This is a self development forum where change is seen as a good thing.

When approaching sex and dating it helps to realize that sex and dating implies reproduction. Sex/dating assumes the subconscious risk of 18+ years of child care. Evolution tricks us into having sex and isn't just a hedonist persuit. Yes other things are implied too but reproduction is one of nature's top priorities. We would be here if it wasn't. You may wonder how this helps my mindset when approaching relationships. I'm much more sober and conscious of what I'm doing and why. If you are fully conscious of the risks than not only is the activity more fun you are less desperate for sex. Desperation is usually a turn off for people. This is something I wish I realized when younger and I hope it helps someone. If you see dating merely a persuit of pleasure you are missing the bigger picture in my opinion.

Im 36 and married. To become less desperate realize that 20 min of sex is simply not worth the potential 18+ years of financial and emotional child support. Focus on enjoying spending time with women and people. The better you get at being a fun conversationalist the more women will throw themselves at you. (Read "how to make friends and influence people" Dale Carnegie) Because on the subconscious level women know if they get pregnant she could be forced to spend alot of time with you and so will the future kids. So you might as well be fun to be around.

Yes we need to serve the other. We need to focus on keeping our partners happy to have satisfying relationships

Lol ikr. Silencing voices has always been around but the term "cancel culture" is from the 21st century and is describing an action taken by left wingers i think. -
Trump is a guy who many love to hate.

After Elon/Trump backed Wisconsin supreme Court loss, looks like Elon isn't useful anymore and is getting let go. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/02/trump-musk-leaving-political-liability-00265784
