  1. Wut? The point of bulking is to gain weight
  2. What can I say – I'm an utopian. There is an obvious role, but it's not the only solution. You need structural change as well. Analytic thinking has to be combined with holistic thinking: you need both individual and collective responsibility. The right-wing is helplessly stuck on the former without even knowing it. No, Ms. Newman. I said right-wingers derive those values from their contracted ideology rather than a metatheoretical, conscious, inclusive, holistic, systemic view.
  3. Not ideologues who are enslaved by their small perspective. Lack of awareness is the epitome of weakness. Preaching personal responsibility to victims of structural violence is insensitive and one-dimensional. When I say principles outside ideology, I mean things like epistemology, scientific literacy and inclusive empathy. Discipline and accountability is baked into their ideology. It doesn't come from a sober systems view.
  4. It's official: strong men poison themselves and other people with chemicals ?
  5. I used your answer to my question to demonstrate my point. Consider yourself used ?
  6. My point is that people will project whatever random definitions and examples they have in their head because the concepts are too vague. This is what people criticize astrology for. This showcases why the right-wing lacks any sort of principles outside ideology.
  7. The variables are too vacuous. What does good mean? What does strong mean?
  8. Inb4 the anti-vaxxers from all the previous COVID threads come to repeat their same old talking points.
  9. Reminds me of McKenna's Novelty theory ("Timewave Zero"): take an ill-defined, hypergeneral concept like "novelty" or "good" or "strong" and try to superimpose a pattern on top of an adhoc selection of historical examples. It's pseudoscience.
  10. @mw711 If that is the case, then you guys are spending an awful lot of energy on a shitpost.
  11. Good call. Let your cringe live through my cringe
  12. I can't believe that I would ever hear about this medieval dude ever again on this forum...
  13. Do you guys really think that a boomer like Joe Rogan even understands the concept of shitposting? Where are his other shitposts?
  14. It's a reactionary meme based on a quote from a postapocalyptic novel by some nobody.
  15. Wilber has been criticized for having a stick up his ass regarding Green. I don't see why he has all this compassion for stages under Green, treating ethnocentricism and religious dogma as a natural part of evolution, but when it comes to gender bending and exclusive inclusivity, suddenly everything becomes so serious.
  16. Jan Esmann has insanely transmissible energy. That is what he is known for. Gareth Duignam I don't have experience with.
  17. @Migue Lonas That's an intrapsychic-phenomenological model on par with Freud. It's not at all a comprehensive description of God. You can't describe infinite complexity.
  18. Your words are merely a key that fits into my cultural machinery. Don't you see? You are teaching! 5-MeO is also a teacher.
  19. But that's rare – Ramana Maharshi rare. Discovery and confusion is a part of the path, something which you are actively contributing to as a pointer-giver Besides, don't discount the value of the guru-student relationship. Not all communication is conceptual/verbal. Transmission is a real thing. An awakened guru's presence can facilitate beingness just as much as an any other environmental factor (sun, river, air). Being is shared – impression is unavoidable. Frame this on a wall ?
  20. But do you not know of any other teachers? Was it really the sun, the mountain and morning mist alone? Using pointers to get to a stage where pointers are no longer necessary does not negate the necessity of pointers. That's called retrograde amnesia.
