How to be wise

This should put to rest any doubts that he is above Orange.

So is eating sugar-containing food, which eliminates 70% of enlightened people.

An intelligent clown. He makes some good arguments against abortion and socialism.

Another point is that when I see these personal dev authors supporting conservatism, they are exclusively focused on the Orange parts of it, like freedom of speech, guns, no lockdowns, so forth. It’s also a reaction to stage Green. I haven’t seen any of them supporting Blue values.

@P Michael I don’t want to call them out, but I’ve seen 8 of them. All famous authors. I’m sure there are more that I’m unaware of.

Then why do college-educated people skew Green, while uneducated people skew Blue. Unless you’re saying that Green is not wiser and more conscious than Blue, which is crazy.

The more knowledgeable you are, the wiser you become. Hence you are more conscious.

Because people make decisions based on their emotions, and they use logic and reason to justify their decisions. Every salesman knows this.

Check your beliefs. Unless you met every boy in America, you won’t know that this is the case. And I highly doubt that Peterson is basing his theories on actual stats. There’s no census that ever went to a very large number of teenagers and asked them if they were coddled by female teachers, or if they have ever learned how to be a man. This wouldn’t be possible, since men will never agree on a set of principles that defines a true man.

At least he was banned from Twitter.

It’s disappointing. It shows that psychedelics and meditation are not the same. Imagine someone who meditated regularly for 10 years, then comes out and supports bigots. Unthinkable.

You can’t survive in a jungle by yourself. There were definitely others there.

Ralston is definitely an extrovert. And you don’t know that he spent a lot of time alone. Even if he was in a solo retreat, he could still go to restaurants and cafes and socialise there. You bet wrong. Extroverts will be drained if they aren’t talking to others. People are their battery. Because you’re an introvert. Other people will drain your batteries. For extroverts, lack of people will drain their batteries. Which is why they can’t live like you.

Compare how many times we see them with other people, and how many times we’ve seen you with other people. Anybody can be alone for an insignificant amount of time. But on a day to day basis, an extrovert simply can’t live without hanging out with others.

And when have you seen sadhguru not around others.

Extroverts NEED other people for their energy, otherwise they will be drained, just like introverts are drained by being with lots of people. Why else do you never see Peter Ralston or sadhguru alone? You won’t.

The reason Europe is so developed is because it was the scene of two devastating world wars, unlike the us, which just fought from a distance.

The unity of the states is more important.

If you look at the brexit vote, Scotland voted against leaving, but England with a much larger population voted to leave, as a result the UK left the European Union. Immediately after brexit, Scottish nationalism skyrocketed in Scotland, and all polls show that Scots now want to leave the UK. This is because they voted to stay, but a larger state forced them to leave. Unlike other countries, each state in the US already has an ego, if you will. Each has a flag, a defined territory and a government. It won’t take a lot to stoke up independence movements in those states.

It’s a trade off to keep the states united. If the smaller population states had little power over who the president would be, resentment would grow, and sooner or later they will demand independence. If you want the states to be together, each would have to feel that they have power over who their leader would be. This means that popular vote won’t work.

Electoral college ensures that states with smaller populations get a voice in the elections. Otherwise the president would always be decided by the larger population states. If that was the case, they would leave the US because they want autonomy.

The vote for brexit was 52%-48%. You can hardly call it the ‘people’s choice’. Governments exist precisely because the masses cannot make good decisions. Good decisions have to be made for them.

Desantis is only 6 years older than Leo.

Chasing things that won’t make you happy. Dabbling with different meditation techniques. Not working hard enough; laziness. Abandoning meditation. Getting distracted by the external world.
