  1. @Leo Gura do you intend to attain a more stabilised enlightenment/dropping away of the ego, seperate from peak experiences?
  2. https://todayspractitioner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Mercury-IMCJ113_Masley_32_40.pdf Just went through this study, that shows conclusively that high mercury levels are associated with lower performance on cognitive tests (4-5%). It seems as if moderate fish consumption increases performance as the Omega 3 effects outweigh the mercury, but for higher consumption the mercury outweighs the Omega 3. Note the study distinguishes between normal fish consumption and large fish (tuna etc), and >3 times a month for large fish was considered strongly correlated to mercury levels. I used to eat tuna like every day for years. I've actually ordered Andy Cutler's chelation book. Would recommend giving the study a read @Leo Gura if you haven't come across it already.
  3. These videos show how much the logical and rational mind can be fucked with. You can see while D is a super rationally oriented person, his mushroom experiences have really opened him to questioning materialism. Obviously just stratching the surface, but interesting nonetheless
  4. https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/ Whole subreddit is basically unexplainable and maybe paranormal shit happen to people. Some of it may be made up or delusions, but it's still interesting to read the stories. Curious as to your guys thoughts
  5. The problem is if they started evacuating everyone ahead of time, you're basically communicating to the Afghan people and army that you know it's going to fall to the Taliban soon, and admitting that the ANA was a farce. That would have caused problems in itself and Biden probably would have been criticised for abounding the ANA and breaking down morale. There was no easy way of doing it
  6. Man that sounds awesome. Get all the moral cred for advocating for social justice sitting in your room, whilst signing an exclusivity contract with Jeff Bezos owned Twitch then shitting on him all day. Then when people call you out on not doing anything with your 7 figure annual income off corporate ad revenue to advocate for your causes, you can just say I need to live in society, as if the choice is no house or a $3m house. Check out his Instagram, he’s extremely Orange lol with some green.
  7. How’s he friends with them just because debated them? Lol Hasan probably is. He just wants to be a rich and famous e-celeb and trendy socialist happened to be his lane to get there
  8. Never had a part time job during uni?
  9. If you wanna know what level of approaching is possible, check out this guy who approaches non-stop in massively populated Japan Literally 300-400 approaches in one day....
  10. Money in politics can have its problems, but the real reason there isn't more progressive change is because: - The voters just aren't as progressive as progressives think they are - Institutional bias of electoral system (electoral college, the senate etc) which favours Republicans, as well it's just really hard to get bills passed in the US https://www.vox.com/2016/2/9/10941690/campaign-finance-left
  11. Honestly at this stage I think they should just be mandated. It's so bad that only 50% of the US is vaccinated
  12. The leftists on twitter and YouTube who rail against woke corporations are mostly far left socialists and tankies. Your average centre left person who wants universal healthcare aren’t the ones railing against this all day....
  13. The far left and the right hate the modern corporate co-opting of green, for different reasons. However, “woke” capitalism is a good thing overall, as it helps to mainstream LGTBT and minorities in pop culture
  14. I find it so hard to come up with things to say, that aren’t boring ass logical interview questions. I guess practice is the only solution
  15. The fact that America isn't going to hit 60% vaccination is insane. The level of misinformation in alternative media and the polarisation has gotten out of control
  16. I knew a guy ink pickup who banged 50 in a year supposedly. He was also amazingly attractive, so either the exception or exaggerated
  17. Yeah the dirty secret that populists on both sides miss, is that American democracy actually works pretty well, and the representatives usually reflect the values of the overall population.
  18. Caleb Maupin is a tankie who plays cover for authoritarian regimes just because it’s anti-West. Trash ideology
  19. Good example of green reacting to oranges self help
  20. Lol, so introverts suck at getting laid and getting enlightened! Can't catch a break here
  21. I think worry about raising taxes to a decent progressive tax system rather than focusing on eliminating billionares at this point, one step at a time. Ideally, billionares probably shouldn't exist, because there's not good reason for one person that have that much wealth. On the other hand, a 100% tax would almost certainly not be good for the economy right now
  22. Political quote rather than spiritual, but damn this one hit “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” ― John Kenneth Galbraith
  23. Owen seems to have some stupid takes on the Covid-19 lockdowns and does vague allusions to conspiracy. Your mind on populism I guess. There does seem to be a reactionary bend to some self help/new age teachers
