People who practice Islam generally need to adopt a more pluralist, non-literalist interpretation of not just religion but of worldviews in general, which is a big ask considering how the West is not anywhere close to doing that. For those who have grown up in the West and dislike the ideas associated with Islam, try to notice your own ethnocentric/fundamentalist interpretations when it comes to your own Western values (secularism, democracy, freedom of speech), even though you might rationalize it across developmental lines (SD also has a Western bias on many levels). You should be vary about convincing people to adopt your own worldview without understanding the limitations of your worldview.

I guess this is a more descriptive model than an explanatory one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstede's_cultural_dimensions_theory

You are asking.

Is it true that I will die? Am I in control of death?

Seems like defining being as control is what is petty wordplay.

Why?

Why?

Far-Right + White nationalism.

Well of course, but in his own words

In his discussion with Lawrence Krauss, JP revealed that he has always had a deep dislike for social activists and idealists. Not so surprising then that the video that got him famous was him arguing with activists. Seems like it's bleeding over to his view on climate activism as well. It would be interesting if Joe could prod him on that.

It could be good as a shamanic tool once in a blue moon. Just don't do it regularly.

"Externalizing disorder" is a fuzzy concept, but I'll give you a list of relevant conditions (with DSM-5 codes): Attention-deficit and disruptive behavior disorders: Cluster B personality disorders:

@Fearless_Bum Is the banana peel supposed to look seductive like that?

Depends on what your problem is. For example, CBT is very good for internalizing disorders (anxiety, phobias and depression), but less good for externalizing ones (impulsivity, aggression and antisocial behavior).

I watched it up to that point, and then I had to turn it off when Joe did the "x is not the same as y" thing, as if things weren't bad enough already ?

Because sometimes you don't want to be too rational. Rationality unchecked deconstructs meaning and purpose, hence why existential nihilism and unhinged hedonism becomes a problem at Orange. Orange work ethic tends to be a slave to hedonistic pleasures, exploitative corporate success, material wealth and social validation (status, sex, drugs and money). There is a lack of higher-order purpose, of morality, of giving back to the community.

A less dogmatic and more rational version.

Orange developmental outlier stuck in majority Red age bracket ?

So his argument is that because there is regularity to how experience unfolds ("the scientific method works"), therefore experience is produced by a separate substance called matter? *sigh*

Seems like you're very eager to explain why that is.

Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's easy.

Sensations are real. Thoughts are real. This is not a problem. The problem is not being aware of pain as sensation and suffering as thought.
