abundance

I can see why one would think that is a problem. Especially someone with such a rigid worldview as him. VR porn world sounds fun btw and I'm all for it. He'll be the one missing out and clinging on to his outdated worldview while the world moves on.

I'll have to do a little research on his philosophy to see why this idea would be considered Satanic lol. I don't want to take away from the main conversation but I don't see the problem with a society in which the bulk of human labor has been mostly automated away. And I wouldn't take humans completely out the equation. We'll still have to determine what role advanced A.I. will play in our society. I envision a society where the need for human labor is minimal and our basic needs are taken care of. You want a job? Fine. But it isn't required to live a good life. Further, A.I. could help determine how to ration resources responsibly to the benefit of everyone and the planet as a whole. Or perhaps transition us into a post scarcity society. With everyones basic needs being met we wouldn't need to waste time with concocting stupid theories that are ultimately rooted in scarcity.

All of it is nonsense and human bullshit. Let the machines take over so we can fully automated luxury communism. At this point, I'd rather have advanced A.I. organize human society than other humans.

Horrific beyond words.

Smh. All those psychedelic trips and meditation retreats and you still lack basic compassion and empathy.

This is just cruel and inhumane. Israel has a right to protect itself but this is just collective punishment, plain and simple.

I wouldn't be so quick to label them aliens (or extraterrestrial) . There's a reason David Grush uses "nonhuman intelligence" as oppose to aliens. If you study the phenomena long enough you'll see that extraterrestrial theory doesn't quite add up. So many of these cases have no rationale behind them. I think Jacques Valle, whose been studying the phenomena for decades may be on to something. He posits that the phenomena may be behind a lot of the religions and folklore throughout human history and that it may ultimately be apart of some control system that aims to guide humans along some unknown path.

How do you deal with racist and xenophobic people? You don't. At least I don't unless they're a direct threat to me or my family. All you can do is try to educate other people who'll listen. These are ignorant and miserable people for the most part. Think about where your life has to be to take the time and effort to shit talk about other groups of people online all day.

Defence Research and Development Canada in Possession of Recovered UAP Material

They've been here for thousands of years interacting with us in mysterious ways

dude, inform yourself and take time to listen to the actual indictment. These are very serious charges and they aren't unwarranted.

Full interview can be watched here https://archive.org/details/we-are-not-alone-the-ufo-whistleblower-speaks-news-nation

PBD is a great interviewer when it comes to people he agrees with. I find him obtuse and crude with people he doesn't see eye to eye with. Its astonishing how he'll repeat almost every right wing talking point in verbatim, even after he is fact checked.

Not enough for a 3rd party candidate to become president.

I agree that we need to dismantle the 2 party system, which is why I'd prefer something like rank choice voting. Presently, there is no viable 3rd party that stands a chance to compete with Democrats or Republicans with the way our voting system is structured. And yes, most people who're on the right or centrist AREN'T voting for Cornell West. Its foolish to even believe so. Cornell West will siphon far more votes from left leaning people than those who lean right. Historically, 3rd party candidates have had pretty disastrous consequences. Ralph Nader in 2000 got us Bush, which led to two disastrous war, deregulation of financial institutions that led to the 2008 Great Recession, and inaction on climate change (at a time when it transitioning from fossil fuels could have prevent the grim trajectory we currently find ourselves on). Jill Stein in 2016 led to Trump, which led to a staunchly conservative leaning SCOTUS, the deliberate mishandling of a once in a century pandemic, inaction on climate change, further extremism on the right, and the attempted overthrow of an election etc etc. Our political actions have far reaching consequences and if Cornell West gets just 2% or 3% of the vote it will more than likely lead to Trump or DeSantis becoming president. And I shouldn't have to explain why a party that just tried attempting a coup and still denies the election results is so dangerous. In my humble opinion if Republicans are given power again, they'll do everything in their power to ensure we have a one party state. Similar to Russia and Hungary. And not having a viable 3rd party will be the least of our worries.

No, its the most pragmatic mentality if your intent is to keep fascists from taking power. And the Republican party are growing more and more authoritarian and fascistic. They're currently the biggest threat to our democracy. Furthermore, Democrats have come up with numerous pieces of legislation that could help working class Americans and each time the entire Republican party has obstructed it. They are not the same party. A good number of Americans don't vote because they're completely ignorant of the importance of politics and simply don't care. Bernie campaigned on a number of hot button issues that should have brought out more voters and they DIDN'T show up.

If West gets just 2% of the vote and paves the way for a Trump or DeSantis victory, there will be no viable path for a 3rd party. It will permanent one party rule.

Reading this entire post was an incredible mind fu**. Trump.....a man who stored classified documents concerning our nuclear weapons in an open ball room is 10x better than Biden...? Brother, you can't be serious with this. I could break down pretty much everything you mentioned but I don't think its worth it.

This is the same sentiment I share. Keeping the current fascistic strand of the Republican Party out of power is priority number one. Vaush sums it up pretty nicely here

Here's an interesting possibility and mind f***. What if the phenomena is able to manipulate time and that what we're witnessing is the same craft (and beings) that ancient humans witnessed and created entire religions around....

It certainly seems that way. Although I'm not entirely convinced that the phenomena is completely extraterrestrial. After studying the work of Jacques Vallee, I'm leaning toward the idea that there is something much deeper to this phenomena and that it is a possible explanation for much of the folklore and religions myths created throughout human history .

If you study the subject long enough you'll see that a lot of their actions are nonsensical.

House Oversight plans UFO hearing after unconfirmed claims of crashed alien spacecraft I'm not too confident that Congress or AARO will be able to obtain classified info about this. It seems like there are echelons in our government that maintain a strict culture of secrecy regarding this topic. If what Dave Grusch says is true regarding our inability to reverse engineer these craft perhaps the only solution is an official disclosure to attract more scientists and engineers to study it.
