  1. Who Should Make Most Money in Society?
    Who Should Make Most Money in Society?
    A) You can build companies without stockholders.
    B) Today's stock trades have little to do with funding company equipment and the like.
    C) I am talking about a new, better kind of society in which labor gets rewarded instead of capital. I'm talking about how to make the system less leechy. My challenge to you is this: Do you admit the current system is very leechy? If you say NO, then we have nothing further to discuss. If you say YES, then you tell me how we should change the system to make it less leechy.

  2. WTF DO I DO WITH MY LIFE
    WTF DO I DO WITH MY LIFE
    Problem:
    Not knowing life purpose, lack of clarity on what you truly want in life, what to do in life Topics:
    Life Purpose, Passion Meaning, Purpose, Value Time Management Theory Vs. Practice, Balancing It Suggestions / Solutions:
    Consider the perspective (helpful framing) of life as different categories, shades, areas, domains For Example: Spirituality / Psychology Health/Body Purpose/Passion (I.E Life Purpose) Finances/Cashflow Productivity/Time Management/Efficiency Success/Career/Academics Social/Relationships Romance/Sex Friends/Bonds Family Network/Other Activities/Hobbies/Lifestyle/Fun These are not strict categories, in fact, you can make them however you want, and they often overlap (especially with the earlier ones, I mentioned like Spirituality/Psychology, this pretty much hits every other domain at its core). You can also tier domains by their importance and prevalence. These are by no means equivalent domains, but just different "shades" for looking at life. There are other ways of categorizing life such as Maslow's Hierarchy, or a list of needs, etc. However, these categorizations, compartmentalization of life offer clarity on a lot, including the different goals, agendas, endeavors you can pursue. From this, we can garner that the different goals you speak of, can be seen as in different categories (or endeavors) in life. Based on what you talked about, these are the main categories for those goals (even though they can affect all areas of life, as life may not really be confined to these imagined categorizations) Meditation, Enlightenment ---> Spirituality / Psychology, Life Purpose (Possibly) YouTube Channel ----> Life Purpose (Possibly),  Sucess/Career/Academics (Possibly), Activities/Hobbies, Become real-life Socrates ----> Spirituality / Psychology, Mainly a mindset/goal/ideal/philosophy that goes throughout all areas Get Fit ----> Health/Body Be Happy ----> Spirituality / Psychology, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Spread Love ----> Spirituality / Psychology, Life Purpose, Social/Relationships, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Completely Understand Reality -----> Spirituality / Psychology, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Embody Love -----> Spirituality / Psychology, Life Purpose, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Have mind-blowing sex ----> Romance/Sex Parkour/Free Running ----> Life Purpose (Possibly), Activities/Hobbies Therefore, from this, we can understand that most of these are not necessarily zero-sum (take one or the other) options but different endeavors that you can pursue congruently You can, and maybe should pursue all these endeavors (maybe even simultaneously, although that may not be recommended), however, the main area where you really have to make a choice is life purpose So you can have mind-blowing sex, be fit, aim to completely understand reality (in those categories of life) while pursuing a life purpose (in its own category of life) You can consider the goal of maximizing all these life areas Which for life purpose, could mean finding out what it is, and pursuing it for the (1 hour+ a day or whatever like you mentioned) (You may have already understood all that, but I say it just to lay the groundwork/foundation and just in case Do whatever you want Unless you have your basic needs met, there is really no rush to getting to life purpose, if you don't feel the desire to have a life purpose, you don't necessarily have to force yourself You can just do whatever you want, while Being aware of the "best" / "ideal" / "end" path (which appears to be having a life purpose) Not following your desires off a cliff (like doing hardcore drugs like heroin) It appears, that eventually, you will satisfy your earlier / "lower" desires (such as the bottom/mid-tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs) and then desire life purpose naturally If you are already here or want to go ahead with life purpose anyway (again doing whatever you want), that's fine as well Pursue Development + Needs You can also consider pursuing the development/growth (through Spiral Dynamics, Ego Development, Integral Theory, etc.) as this seems to be what you will end up doing anyway, just at a less efficient pace Further, you can consider pursuing all Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (or various psychological needs), just like look at different lists and aim for the ones you think are unmet or want to strengthen/fulfill (but generally this is aligned with following your desires, as you generally would feel desire for whatever need that is unmet) Become Financially Free This is simple Financial Freedom = Time + Material/Ressource Freedom Now you can do whatever you want And can get (within a price range) whatever you want It's basically a net benefit for every area of life Achieving this is a great launchpad and a huge asset (possibly even a necessity, at least for some) to living a good life Self-Experimentation In terms of life purpose (or really figuring out what to do with your life in general or anything) Anything before experience (meaning everything I talked about above) is just imagination/thoughts/beliefs/ideas and really serve as predictions This means you want to actually go out and experiment / explore these various options Experiment w/ the options I gave above (such as following your desires, pursuing development + needs, etc., maybe even multiple at one time) Experiment w/ different life purpose options For example: Make a list of what you think maybe your life purpose, and devote a set time every day (like an hour for anywhere from a week to a month), to gain some first-hand experience on whether its actually want you to want to do with your life The most important thing is:  You got to take action You're not going to figure out your life purpose, or what to do through pure thought and research (At best you will get a solid prediction) Think about it, you have probably been doing research, thinking, theorizing so far, where has research/theory gotten you? Although some healthy research, study, thinking, and contemplation beforehand, won't hurt ----> you've already done that The time to take action is NOW Let me know if this does or does not solve this issue or give you a game plan for solving this issue or if there are any further issues

    That's the best example of a healthy conservative that I know of.

    Ken way overestimates the problem of Green and the prevalence of Green.
    The big proble is that most average people are stuck at Blue/Orange and have a Green shadow. They have no clue what relativity or Derrida are.
    Ken is lost in his academic elitism. 75% of Americans didn't even graduate college!
    The problem of intellectual sovereignty isn't at Green, it's at Blue & Orange. Blue does not think independently at all. It's pure dogma and group think.

  9. Will I be gay? Will it feel like it is me? Would I be able to say now that that is me if I saw me in the next life?
    the illusion of utopia equality or end of hierarchy
    Don't hold your breath.
    I'll bet all my money that you will be a horn dog in your next lifetime.

  10. Getting a decent job
    How much of a numbers game is getting a regular job?
    You can always ask directly: "What would your ideal candidate look like?" Then try to actually fit that.
    You can also ask, "Do you have any hesitations hiring me? What are they? Let me address them and show you why I'm the best you'll find for this position."

  11. I discovered that when you put hot beans in a jar and put a lid over, they stay fresh longer. Also, yeah, there is no organic in my store.
    Leo-Your view on veganism?
    I make most of my food and it's still a problem.
    Basically all healthy food you have to make yourself.
    Ain't no one gonna prepare for you organic food using high quality ingredients.

  12. I'm gonna eat caviar in a villa next to a swimming pool.
    Burgeois the enemy?
    There are no enemies, only projected shadows of one's own mind.
    Rich people are inevitable and part of the larger unfolding of love and consciousness. With that said, income inequality is an issue we can work to improve.
    All notions of "bad" are relative to one's survival agenda.

  13. Self-love
    Self-love
    @darind
    Look in the mirror and say I love you until you feel it. 
    Self Inquiry = Love Inquiry.
    Contemplate deeply into your emotions, ‘what is love’? (Expect an answer.)
    Take care of your self physically and mentally. Love your body & brain by eating clean.
    Go on a retreat, alone - and spend the days doing what you like to do. 
    Let go of frustration / tension, the earlier or sooner - the better. Nip any self judgement or non-acceptance in the bud before it weaves into a perspective. 
    Change what you put in front of you. 
    Be aware, specifically, of name calling, or labeling yourself in terms of identity, or “what I am”. It’s one thing to say “man, I screwed that up”, and an entirely different thing to say “man, I’m an idiot”. Might not seem like a big deal, but it is. If someone does this chronically and unknowing, and stops, it could change their entire life. 
    Take a few minutes to clear your head, and write down a list of things you can forgive yourself for now. 
    Get a pen and paper, and dream! Fantasize about your future - no limits. Write down everything you want to have, to see, to experience, to be. Then flip the paper over and write down more! - no judging, no beating up, no name calling! Dream bigger than you could accomplish in 10 life times. 
    Make time for YOU. Schedule it! Even if you just sit and look out a window or whatever - decide to spend some time just for you.

    Do something, no matter how big or small - for someone else - in which you get nothing.

    @GroovyGuru Why not select a new career (not finance), one which aligns with your interests and also has some practice viability. For example, you might be interested in being a counselor or therapist or social worker or teacher or whatever.
    If you know for sure that finance is something you hate (and you do), then it would be idiotic to keep pursuing it, trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
    I changed my major half-way through college from Aerospace Engineering because I realized, just like you, that I do not want to work in a cubicle crunching numbers for some defense contractor.
    You must follow your passions. But also try to keep an eye on the pragmatics of how you will earn a living. You must develop a clear sense of what your career will be. It is not good enough to just take some major and then have no idea how you will actually earn a paycheck. For example, if you're going to be an English major, then you should also have a practical career plan like: I will be a popular fiction writer and sell books.
    Answer this question for yourself: What am I gonna be selling? To make a living, you gotta be selling something. The key is to be selling something you believe in, something you're passionate about.
    For example, I sell metaphysical insights that improve people's lives.
    What do you sell?
    Figure this out NOW! Don't wait! Once you hit the labor force your options will be severely limited and you will be stuck in wage slavery from which it is very difficult to break free. Your plan to escape wage slavery must start NOW. There is no time to waste. Invest some serious time pondering this and laying out a realistic plan.
    Don't worry about dropping finance. In a few years you won't even remember it mattered. Changing majors is not a big deal. Graduating with a major you hate IS a big deal. It's a big mistake.
