  1. The same dynamic exists in other countries. Who are the drug dealers? The people in broken communities. How do you perpetuate a broken community? Punish them, treat them as second class citizens; "druggies", "criminals", "homeless people."
  2. It's to stop destroying marginalized communities by putting all the fathers in jail. The sons have no choice but to deal drugs. Privileged people can still do illegal drugs and turn out fine because they're supported by a functional community.
  3. It's to show that keeping those drugs illegal is absurd when alcohol is literally 3x more harmful overall.
  4. Put a neighborhood in jail and you'll see where the trauma comes from. Why is it that white teenagers can binge drink alcohol their entire youth and still turn out as decent citizens?
  5. It's this forum's version of the Alpha Male concept. Shouldn't be taken very seriously.
  6. Apples and sages.
  7. Construct a society where crime is not an attractive survival strategy for anyone, heal intergenerational trauma and enjoy. It's kinda "duh", but there is literally no other way if you want to fix the root problems.
  8. I would ask him how the heck he managed to get here
  9. The hospital system is not just medical personnel. It's hospital beds, medical equipment, medicines, donor organs, blood etc. They specified in the article "99.7% of adults", not "99.7% of the population". It's more realistically 80% of the population. Ireland is one of the most vaccinated countries all around (78% of population fully vaccinated), so the differences between counties is not that significant. You also posted an article from over a month ago. You can see that Co. Waterford has a comparable incidence rate to the rest of the country as of today: https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/ It changes a lot, because less people are dying.
  10. You're imagining that. You can imagine something else. This is not a fruitful conversation, because you're looking for constraints, and I don't have any
  11. Things are happening -> happening is possible. Reality is infinite => infinite possibilities. What is there to explain? Lol You move your body through the temporal dimension. Forward and backwards and all directions. Why? Is a dream not reality? You're constructing arbitrary constraints. We're not.
  12. "Yourself" is an amalgamation of influences. He is being himself.
  13. I already said that my statements are not confined to local constraints. Anything IS possible. Besides, I didn't see you explain the mechanism of travel yet Mechanistic explanations don't change anything.
  14. Don't limit yourself. The previous Norwegian prime minister had dyslexia.
  15. Distance, time and travel are abstractions; relative statements. "Now/here is all there is" are absolute statements. You're unclear about the distinction. You say it's only time that exists as a concept in your head, but it's the same with distance and travel.
  16. Welcome to the forum! Here we put introverts on a pedestal
  17. Intense fear and enlightenment are compatible?
  18. Did I not just tell you that this is a red herring? You're blatantly misleading people at this point. I'm again going to advise you to stay on topic:
  19. @DocWatts That is actually hilarious. I want to watch that show now
  20. The comment is 7 months old. That might be why you can't find it. The comment was originally "Where is your PhD in mysticism?", but I edited after he responded with the first comment. Dave has no idea what construct awareness is. It makes no sense to mention it. You can only probe for it in conversation (which I tried to do). People already get depressed and suicidal without discovering self-help or spirituality. People who pursue self-help or spirituality are more predisposed towards such problems. It would be surprising if we never saw any depressed people on the forum. If you trace MHC back towards its origins, you'll see that it's actually being taught in school as we speak. MHC is an extension of Jean Piaget's model of cognitive development, which is arguably the most famous developmental model in the world. You can read about Piaget in the undergraduate curriculum for developmental psychology. You could probably learn about MHC in some graduate program. Simple: SD tracks worldviews (value systems), and MHC tracks complexity of cognitive operations. It just happens that MHC describes more types of operations than SD describes worldviews. The operations will still roughly correlate with SD, because worldviews are very much based on cognition. Sub-metasystematic is all levels under 12. However, it's not like you only ever operate from one level. People who reside around the sub-metasystematic area will utilize 1-11 all the time. You see the same thing with SD to some extent: you don't suddenly forget all the lessons of Blue when you turn Orange. Alcohol is bad for you even in small amounts (just less bad). It's just the antioxidants that aren't bad for you. Those studies are only excuses to keep drinking wine. If you want antioxidants, eat a fruit. When I say "chemicals in red wine", I mean phytochemicals from the grapes themselves. The word "chemical" has been poisoned by common vernacular. Comparing paradigms happens at cross-paradigmatic cognition (14): connections between frameworks. Science (verifying or falsifying hypotheses) happens at formal operational cognition (10): connections between variables. Grammar correction (evaluating sentences) happens at sentential operational cognition (5): connections between words. Trying to use science (e.g. empirically verifying a statement) to evaluate the comparisons between two paradigms is like trying to use grammar correction to do science. It does not compute.
