  1. If the thoughts aren't stored anywhere, then why does memory have to be stored somewhere? What is a memory but a thought?
  2. This is the damage Alex Jones is doing if you think about it
  3. He actually made me lose my mind, but of course that's relative. At the end of the day, you'll have to come to terms with the impermanence of your own existence. Whatever you do, you're going to disappear, and you can't stop it. It's true for everybody. All these worries you have about going insane, all this confusion about knowing what is real or not, is nothing else than survival mechanisms for your limited identity: your identity as a human being, as a lawful citizen, as a son, a father, a mother, a brother. When your time on earth is up, you'll have to get rid of that identity and reclaim your infinite identity as God. If you want to take that process into your own hands, and if you want to be in control of it rather than being forced into it at the end of your life, consider this path. Accept death, accept non-existence, accept unreality, accept insanity, accept loneliness, accept alienation, accept failure. Surrender to all pain, surrender to all fear, surrender to Love. Give everything to Love.
  4. Don't expect your ham sandwich to be 100% pure, neutral and balanced.
  5. 01:30:10 - 01:31:37 I think Jesse Lee Peterson's massive intellect is contagious
  6. There is no such thing as an equilibrium and utopias don't exist.
  7. Meeting up with a buddhist will only increase the intensity of the phenomenas you're experiencing. You either stop meditating and hang up the phone, or you take the plunge and never look back. It looks like you would benefit from more non-mystical types of self-help.
  8. If the other sections were flowing over with history content, sure. Interesting. It's often green that accuses orange for being ahistorical, but do you have an example in mind?
  9. So that is one lens that you can use to describe what is going on. SD is just another lens.
  10. It's not like people will start posting about history just because you open up a section for it. There has to be a demand for it. Regardless, history fits well under this section. What is history about but society, government and politics?
  11. "Structure vs content" is also a model.
  12. That's an odd way to put it lol
  13. I think a great example of this is Michael Brooks in this clip (21:45-24:30):
  14. I know exactly how it is. There isn't much to do about it.
  15. The fact that Trump's first term is coming to an end during a full-blown pandemic is truly poetic.
  16. Forum right-winger strategy: 1. Announce that you're leaving 2. Insert hard-hitting blanket statement 3. Self-destruct
  17. If you know that people are at different levels of consciousness, why do you expect them to understand you?
