Look outside of your own perspective for a moment and see that neither the "high consciousness" people nor the trans people on this forum necessarily agree with you. You have taken your interpretation of a very contentious issue and made people's existence depend on it. I don't think that is how warning points should be used just in principle, let alone that it would eventually decimate the amount of people on here. Instead of using warning points to do that, you can concede some ground to the opposing side so that discussion is possible, and maybe you'll persuade some people in the process — you know — what Leo was actually talking about in that blog post. Threatening someone's account with the hope that they might agree with you is power abuse. -

The "point" that is going too far is for example giving somebody warning points for merely stating what they think a woman or a man is. If it's not said with the intention to troll or offend, I think that is a no-go zone for warning points, and I saw you go into that zone. We should strive to keep the discussions informed by sensitivity, but that particular level of enforcement makes discussions impossible. At that level, discussion is only possible if everybody is already in agreement. -
Allan Holdsworth was considered one of the best jazz fusion guitarists in the world. He was dirt poor virtually his whole life. All fame is not equal.

@Leo Gura As if it's possible to communicate God/non-duality.

There comes a point where your ideology is so far removed from the majority of the forum that it makes no sense to enforce it with warning points. I think you ran into that problem especially with transphobia, and if you as a transperson feel more personally affected by that, that's of course a shame. However, my feeling is that you can go a long way by looking at the format of the engagement and the emotional tone and see that it's not one of bigotry or resentment, but rather intellectual honesty and openness, and that this is something that should factor in into an assessment of a "phobia". Because from what I saw you doing, it came from a more abstract/ideological place than that. But yes, it's also good to have someone who is unapologetic about expressing their sensitivities and representing those who could need a voice, and as you say, we can discuss that here. -

Sure, the machines are inherently bad for our brains in some ways, but it also has us fully plugged in, so the wise choice is to dive into the rabbit hole and retrieve as many carrots as possible -
Don Beck and Chris Cowan used Clare Graves' Emergent Cyclical theory as the basis for their model, and developed it while working with various projects in South-Africa and America. The empirical basis of the stages was mostly laid down by Graves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_W._Graves

I think watching something like ToE with Curt Jaimungal won't really erode your brain though ? -
Well, either way, I get really hyper and cranky at the 5 day mark.

I think the game that is being played is showing me yet again that the Twitch space is not a healthy space and that I should consider getting my entertainment from elsewhere. The moment somebody says "he is a manipulator", my brain just shuts down and starts overthinking and doubting everything. It's not a good state to be in. Just merely having someone plant the idea and reassert it while you keep engaging in the situation, is damaging. The best thing you can do is leave. Just because it's online and you're watching from the outside doesn't mean it's not damaging. It's just experienced through the frame of parasociality. It still has the same psychological effects. So yeah, I think I'm leaving this for now (the MrGirl drama specifically, and maybe all of Twitch at some point). I'll wait until the article comes out. -

There is nothing wrong with asking rhetorical questions, certainly not in absentia ? -

If you don't pay your taxes, your present moment will inevitably be screwed. -

The only time I've heard about things having a golden glow to them is when Jan Esmann talked about "God consciousness". I think I heard it one of his BATGAP interviews on YouTube. -
I have an implicit rule for myself to only speak about spirituality when asked directly about it. If you do it that way, it'll most often be something which is easy to talk about. No need to preach something which sounds cool.
