The mRNA vaccines are literally producing pieces of the virus inside your body. -
Something I used to contemplate a lot some years ago: What causes the perception of time? (especially in relationship to the phenomenas of time compression and time expansion caused by mind-altering drugs or being deeply immersed in an activity e.g. flow or a thoughtless state e.g. samadhi).

My dad recently had a small stroke and he hasn't taken the vaccine ? -
Really exhaust yourself physically.

Do you have any advice for a guy half your age who doesn't have the balls to directly face this reality that you're speaking of? -
The distinctions between Yellow and Turquoise aren't very important. I just refer to them as Tier 2.

What do you mean by this? Do viruses not exist? Do they not cause illness? -
Carl-Richard replied to Andrea Marchetti's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
The point I'm getting at is this: when it comes to collectivist stages, while it's true that they can be said to share conformism as a general trait, it's more the case that Blue is conformist as a result of the Blue worldview and Green is conformist because of Green. In the context of SDi, to treat this conformist trait as if it's decoupled from its developmental basis and that it can work independently of any specific worldview seems a bit wonky to me. You're maybe more able to do that with traits in personality models, but in this case, I don't think it's appropriate. It's like with spirituality: collectivist stages tend to also be more spiritual/religious (which has to do with community bonding), but Purple has Purple spirituality, Blue has Blue spirituality, and Green has Green etc. They're not really translateable to eachother (Purple is tribal, shamanic, ritualistic; Blue is traditional, devotional, rule-oriented; Green is pluralist, heart-centered, experimental). Likewise, Blue conformism is not really translateable to Green conformism. -

I sincerely have no idea what you're talking about ?. What about an example outside of internet forums? So you're saying that when an apparently Green person posts about the need for more LGBTQ+-friendly options in the gender section on one's forum profile, or advocates for the rights of non-binary people in the military, or talks about the benefits of taking a feminist lens on history, or that we should be critical of patriarchical social structures, or that we should be tolerant of different cultures or religions other than western Christianity, or that we should elevate the minimum wage and maybe consider implementing a 4-day work week, and that we should be tolerant of non-traditional relationships and family structures (polygamy and queer parents etc.) – you're saying that this person could in fact be Blue? -

How so? Do you have a specific example in mind? -
That seems like a low-value activity in itself.

I've only had sober ones, but still; zero visuals. -

No. The political aspect is probably the worst aspect. It's not just that it "attracts" toxic characters. It builds toxic characters. It's not a coincidence that the word "corruption" and "politics" are so easily mentioned in the same context. Politics is power, and power corrupts. It's filled to the brim self-bias, deception, fear-based thinking, us vs. them narratives. If that is your speciality, then you've spent years deeply immersing yourself in it, building your self-image and mental schemas around it etc., so of course that is going to express itself through your character (unless you've done the work to counter that, which is rare). Now, you may say I expanded the definition of "toxic character", as we were talking about cases of sexual harrassment, but I would say that these more subtle aspects are far worse in the grand scheme of things, because they're actually condoned by the general culture and it ACTUALLY rots you to the core. When everybody has lost the sense that something is rotten, that is when it's allowed to spread and do a lot of damage. Does that mean I don't consume political content? No. It is obviously useful, so you have to make a comprimise: some brain rot in return for avoiding turning into a hermit. There is a trade-off for everything. -
You realize that you weren't as smart, developed or awake as you thought you were, and now when the false sense of security is ripped away from under your feet, you feel extremely inadequate. Has anybody experienced this before? One time? Many times? Progressively or sporadically? What triggered it? For me, it seems to be a phase that has been building up over time. What were one time you felt very dumb in retrospect?

It's not so much about personality per se as the therapist-client connection.

I don't care. I actually expect people who make a living commenting on political issues and debating people to have a poor character. I've called out Destiny for this in the past as well. You take what you get. -

@AtheisticNonduality Omg he looks like Nick Fuentes in the 3rd picture ? -
You're one cool dude, man ?

They're both on the spectrum, so who is grooming who? ? I know a guy on the spectrum who I had to stop from aggressively tickling (groping) a girl as a drunken attempt at flirting, and she was obviously not having it, but he was simply blind to it. Other than that, he is an outstanding guy. You can see how that complicates things. -

Just one problem. I said "something like this" in order to clarify that I was strictly talking about this type of situation, namely being weird on the internet, not being a child rapist. Even then, it depends on the situation. Maybe some rapists have good political takes. -
Is this a troll? ?

Being weird on the internet -> raping kids. I see...
