Why do you think the American right has gone so crazy recently? The Bush era conservatives seem so reasonable in comparison, to the point where many of them are straight up Democrats now.

Is it a valid point to acknowledge that a lot of the green absurdities push people to become reactionaries? A lot of green people are intolerant cu*** to those below them on the spiral, it's not always a great strategy.

Yeah but it’s over once the 5-Meo trip is done

@Leo Gura isn’t permanently rewiring you brain to be fully present a bigger goal than short glimpses?

Destiny is a great example of someone who moved up the spiral throughout his life. He grew up as a very conservative Iraq War supporting Republican given his family upbringing in Nebraska. Then he become a Ron Paul libertarian in his early 20s. Then during the 2016-2018 period he was a pretty hardcore leftie who just wanted to shit on conservatives and now he’s more interested in understanding and bridging different perspectives.

When you make Alex Jones look like the reasonable one…..that is impressive

@Leo Gura There are real costs to free speech. But you don’t seem to appreciate the value of free speech either. I think it’s cool that in the US you can speak your mind, unlike in many European countries you can actually get arrested for speech as they don’t have the same protections. Also when you censor too much you further fuel the conspiracy theories.

Gaslighting used to mean a form of psychological abuse were you make some one question their sanity. Now it just means you disagree with me.

I suspect not. I could be wrong but I think the majority of the people still support the regime. The hardline Conservative party did well in the last elections. Western media will make it seem like it’s on the brink though

@Leo Gura has this affected your views on solipsism?

I feel like every realisation is the final, ultimate one. But then there's a new one soon enough

Destiny should stick to politics and social commentary. Dunno why he gets so bogged down in high school streamer drama

@Leo Gura do you think changing yourself socially ie becoming more confident is one of the easier traits to change?

Yeah it’s absurd

I dunno man, it’s going a bit too far. Channels line Sneako and MrGirl were recently completely banned. They may have some toxic views but it seems to be going too far.

It is a great show. I think the Wire is even better. The whole thing like a sociological analysis of America.

Ok this is a bit excessive…. Alex Jokes is scum but $1B????

Hitler was a patriot too, and probably a political genius in a lot of ways. The West and the US is absolutely in the right to be supporting Ukraine and not allowing the precedent of blatant annexation of other countries.

Even if it went well, still don't think it's rational for the wellbeing of Russia. NATO is stronger now than ever regardless, there would still be massive sanctions in return for some extra land? Don't think they would. NATO could already station missiles on Russia's border via the baltic states and they don't. I believe the closest is Romania and Poland. Regardless, the nuclear missile site location is kind of a red herring anyway, the tech is so advanced that Russia and America could obliterate each other regardless of where the missiles are stationed. All this talk of the West and Russian motivations, what about Ukraine? The countries sovereignty itself gets overlooked in these geopolitical conversations. Pretty sure the people in Ukraine now aren't happy about being massacred by Russia and wish they were in NATO right now.

How is this rational? Crushing economic sanctions from half the world, uniting Europe and the West again and has strengthened NATO given Sweden and Finland now want to join.

Occasionally after them I'll wake up in the middle of the night in a weird non-dual state as well. Pretty cool but freaky

I’ve had dreams that are so alien and psychedelic where language can’t even describe what it was

You can take ALA on its own, that perfectly consistent with the ACC protocol.

I've gotten up 25mg ALA without any symptoms one way or the other. Is it worth keeping it going? I'm doing it for brain reasons (brain fog, ADHD, restlessness)
