Im sorry i wasn't around lately and i completely forgot about this too. Have you guys met up then ?

Definitely do exercise, if you can. You dont need to do much first. HIIT training is not necessary. Get a couple of dumbbells - you dont need heavy weights. For cardio an exercise bike is super simple, no hassle - in 15 minutes you can burn 150 calories and you can be done. Walking is the best if you can. And in my opinion once you got into it, body weight training trumps weight training every time. If you like reading, i recommend this book: Convict Conditioning - Paul "Coach" Wade

Thats capitalism for you. Some people have to be exploited - by design. And by some people i mean the global south. After you established proper exploitation at home of course. The Great British Empire, everyone: "As of 2024–2025, over 14 million people (approximately one in six households) in the UK face food insecurity due to lack of money, with 27% of children growing up in insecure households, according to Trussell Trust data and reporting by the BBC. This represents a significant rise from 2022, with millions suffering from reduced food intake, hunger, or reliance on charitable food providers."

The whiplash of a kangaroo tail.

@Natasha Tori Maru Damn i just spent like 30 minutes articulating an answer to a post and then you closed it before i could submit my reply. LOL (I assume it was you)

Im thinking about how future governments would look like. I think putting a select number of people in positions of power like we do today is outdated and has no place in the future of governance. The focus should be on policies and it should be handled much more like we do science. People would have more say in whats happening in the world. This requires ordinary people to be more involved in politics. The job of politicians would be to work with scientists, discuss policies and communicate them towards the people. You would think this is how our current system is supposed to work as well... Anyway, i dont think im doing a good job explaining my vision here.

Even your voice sounds Aussie. Or maybe its the intonation i dont know, but im satisfied.

Crikey, send some vegemite as well and she will be apples!

Just one more thing… i just cant go by without professing my admiration to the Aussie slang. But we are not here to fuck spiders.

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.

I dont get the classic effects from LSD that most people report. The visual effects are very subtle for me. I know its my experience thats different, because i did it with other people and they had the same experience you normally hear about. I thought the first few times as well that it was because i swallowed the blotter after a while, but it was not. So maybe you are like me.
