You cant quite apply Spiral Dynamics to this, because the USA ultimately wants to install a puppet who serves them oil and Israel wants a failed state that wont be an effective opponent to their imperialist aspirations. What happens to the iranian people does not concern them the least. They want to get a grip on their government and thats it.

Stop bragging bro!

@LordFall Tell that to them too.

I only saw the first episode. I dont think the format is very productive, but productivity maxxing does not always have to be the main priority. It was good to hear Leo talking to people instead of monologuing for once. Also i like the hosts. They are open minden and they pushed back where they had to. Good work.

The War Powers Resolution is a federal law intended to check the U.S. president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress. The resolution was adopted in the form of a United States congressional joint resolution. Originally published: November 7, 1973 US lawmakers condemn Trump over Iran strikes: ‘acts of war unauthorized by Congress’ Not that it matters. The elits are above the law. If they want to blow up the planet they can.

I cant help to feel its good that Leo is not that famous. Imagine someone really famous shines a light on Leo's work. All the devilry and unconsciousness you would have to deal with. Beyond a point it just gets out of hand, no ? Im aware that this is fear based logic though. Also getting big with a book is probably not that bad, because straight up trolls just wont read the book.

Im such a zen rat. My knee-jerk reaction when you give theory about meditation is to dismiss you right away.

I think you guys missed the point. This is about meditation.

@Ulax @Hardkill The problem is that we are so indoctrinated into the system that the issue doesnt even get mainstream. Are we really incapable of solving the socio-economic failures of capitalism, while we are capable of sending robots to Mars ? All this automation and robotics and yet people need multiple jobs just to survive ? 70 years into the age of information by the way... The issue isnt that we could not figure it out scientifically. Its politics. How are we going to expect ordinary people who work 40 hours a week and then barely have time or energy to tend to their family to research and learn beyond the mainstream media ? Which is full of bullshit.

Pragmatically speaking, its clearly our biggest challenge yet. But the two roadblocks are culture and politics. Not that capitalism works so well that we dont see its pain points.

I completely agree with this.

@Alexop i didnt get into details in my comment. I think my best option to provide an explanation for now is to rely on Peter Joseph's work. A good entry point is his Revolution Now! podcast, if you just want a quick intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E_R-dRlV_I&t=4315s His talking style is quite loquatious, so you can just start at 37 minutes. Alternatively you could watch his movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mboDCYyFxW0 The third installment is the best of the series imo. You might need to watch the second one first to get a better understanding. But you would probably wont regret starting with the first movie either. But you have to understand his movies are designed to get a rise from you rather than a scientific breakdown of facts and solutions. If you want to deep dive into his solutions, he published a white paper recently. A Federated, Post-Monetary, Cybernetic Cooperative Economic System Oh and silly me, i almost forgot to mention his book. You can very easily find it via google search. I highly recommend it.

@Leo Gura We can clearly build a better system than capitalism regarding logistics. Capitalism doesnt account for actual human needs and wants, nor the environment. Capitalism only cares about increasing profit and human well-being is a side product at best. Its the equivalent of solving a maze by letting mold expand in every direction. You can get away with brute forcing something only for so long. Sooner or later you want to build a conscious system, no ? Your concerns are legit, but we had to outgrow feudalism in order to get to capitalism. Once we have to face outgrowing capitalism as well.

To think capitalism is the best system we will ever be able to create is insane. It is a step in organizing humanity, but instead people treat is as an end goal. I think we are well overdue to start working on a system that consiously handles modern humans instead of blindly following the economic principles we created to handle medieval scarcity. Scarcity does not have to exist anymore. It is purely artificial by an outdated system. We are not evolving capitalism only because we are still trying to dominate other people. It is a very effective tool at that.

I LOVE Solarpunk. Also i kind of forgot about the first lady's youtube channel. She has excelent videos. Thanks for posting.
