  1. Because a country with Red instability is different from a country with Orange instability. Somalia needs Blue (conservatives) while USA needs Green (progressives).
  2. You said it yourself: it applies to low-income countries. USA is not Somalia.
  3. @Matt23 The thing about isolation as a tool for spiritual work is that it's supposed to streamline your attention and amplify your practice. Isolation on its own, without purpose or direction, will amplify mental instability and deteriorate your mind. Social interaction gives direction and meaning which stabilizes the mind, but it can distract you from spiritual work.
  4. What's more odd? That or Sadhguru killing his wife?
  5. Trauma, depraved environment and lack of practice.
  6. Can you stop using that word in every comment?
  7. Experience is shared. When you hang around fun people, you have fun. When you hang around sad people, you become sad. Hang around smart people, you become smart; enlightened people, become enlightened.
  8. 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."
  9. 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.
  10. It's to show that keeping those drugs illegal is absurd when alcohol is literally 3x more harmful overall.
  11. 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?
  12. It's this forum's version of the Alpha Male concept. Shouldn't be taken very seriously.
  13. Apples and sages.
  14. 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.
  15. I would ask him how the heck he managed to get here
  16. 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.
  17. 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
