This is very easily faked with visual effects software. Notice that there's only ever UFOs when the camera isn't moving?

Fascism is late-stage politics. Fascism cannot be defeated without totally decentralized power, something people are not willing or capable of doing. No democrat or socialist are able to defeat fascism because they are not able to decentralize power.

I mean, they're making Spaceballs 2. Alien: Cage is very possible.

If you do decide to move, try to make sure one of you will have a stable job and life to live before you leave. I once made the mistake of moving without a good plan and it took me nearly six months to properly recover.

Then maybe you don't love the job as much as you thought you did. It's good to accept that and do something else if that's the case. It's fine to not want to risk getting into fights with dangerous people. That sounds like a job only a person who wants to fight could do.

What part about it doesn't sit right with you? Being spiritual doesn't mean you have to be lovey dovey all the time. That's nuts.

Not really sure what you mean. Sounds like you're making a distinction between the form of consciousness takes and what it actually is existentially. I think you already know the difference.

@Princess Arabia What you are conscious of is your experience and that's it. Any further intellectualizing misses the point that experience is fundamental, and the form it takes is not important to understand what experience is.

@Natasha Tori Maru It took about four days for the full effects. So two weeks might be ideal if you can spare it. This was proper Vipassana setting - no talking / internet access.

Long meditation retreats made my dreams extremely vivid. Worth trying if you haven't.

@WonderSeeker Enjoy Korea. You will appreciate the break from American life. Don't expect life to get easier just by being in another country. You will still have problems, just different problems.

It really depends on the bank and the country you're in. Just read your bank's credit card product page.

Then there would be no videos. The problem with not-knowing is you become nothing. If you want to be something, you have to be wrong in some way. The hardest part is being conscious about how wrong you are and doing something anyway. That's seriously difficult and not really want humans are built for. Humans don't handle that kind of cognitive dissonance well.

I have been obsessed with watching mining videos. There is something deeply honorable to me about being a laborer in a mine. It's a job that required tremendous amounts of self-sacrifice. You sacrifice your health, your life, so others can experience the fruits of your labor.

You've found a thread of insights that have occured to me, that I figure Actualized.org enjoyers would appreciate.

You forgot to put the link to your 12 hour course for only $999 in the post.

I think Jordan Peterson did very well overall, considering he's trying to have an intellectual discussion with these kids who seriously don't know what they're talking about. And those on this reddit thread should be ashamed with their straw manning of JP. He tries to find a bit of nuance and they mock him for not committing to the Christian label. Ironically, JP is being somewhat post-modernist by steering away from the rigid label of 'Christian'. What do you think?

Luxury is relative. From a Tiger's POV, buying meat at a supermarket is the ultimate laziness.

If you're interested in intelligent geopolitcal discussion about US-China relations that go read Kevin Rudd's book.

That's not always true. Film labor in Aus/NZ is marginally cheaper, maybe 20% less on non-union jobs. Plenty of Americans are coming here to follow the money. Unfortunately, the film unions have done more harm than good in America. But they were right to strike. They were striking because pay is low and working conditions were bad, but that is because producers can't pay more because the incentives are so weak.

Some Hollywood bigshot asked him to do this. It's obvious. The LA film industry is dead and it's the government and studio's fault. It's being eaten by Australia, New Zealand and others who are offering 45%+ tax rebates. It's cheaper to fly hundreds of crew members to another country than to walk across the studio lot and do it at home. But most American states are too cheap to offer a competitive rebate. So tariffs it is. Atlanta is really the last bastion for American filmmaking, as far as I know.

There is nothing smart about wanting to be a billionaire.
