The Don

It's not a crime. They can do whatever they want. They can censor us, remove us, or ban us. In the end, they will accomplish absolutely nothing. I'm about to contact Candace Ownes' team and suggest her to have a conversation with Elon Musk for the purpose of building a smartphone company with a unique OS and a new App Store. I will contact other people as well regarding this matter, even the Trump campaign. I have a compulsive desire to achieve this goal and I won't stop until I'll persuade them; even if it'll take months or years. We will have our own gateway in the virtual world, meaning a smartphone built by ourselves, an App Store, and an operating system that can't be controlled by Big Tech. There are lots of ex-Google, ex-Apple engineers that wanna work. I don't understand why nobody on the right is thinking and talking about a similar alternative. It seems I have to do everything in my power to persuade them. If Facebook and Twitter can't stand us, we'll have our own communication channels. And the left will be welcomed as well. In a free, healthy society, the so-called "hate speech" must be allowed in order to be countered properly.

What do you know about the Soviet Union? What do you know about Hitler?

When I read history books, I'm flabbergasted by the horrors that took place not so long ago. History is cyclical. It will happen again. That's human nature in a nutshell. I still can't fathom that so many of you believe the world is heading in a positive direction. We might be advanced from a technological standpoint, but psychologically, we're the same as we were 1000 years ago. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to persuade you to think otherwise. All I want is to clarify where we differ and point out some historical facts. 99% percent of humanity is not conscious enough. Although it's a good thing to be optimistic about the future of humanity, it is definitely not sufficient.

With all due respect, you're wrong. Don't ban me, haha! I personally don't like Trump. He has an awful character. He's a blatant narcissist! But at least he didn't hide that from the public, in comparison with George W. Bush and his mistakes in regards to the Irak war, where so many innocent people died. Trump didn't start a new war. He wanted to bring our troops back. Your troops I mean, as you're an American. Trump was outrageous in many ways; that's true and I'm not denying it. But we knew who Trump is. Why don't you look at the good stuff Trump did? Shouldn't we look for a positive in a person? It won't take long until the Democrats will pack the court and fundamentally change the US constitution. I think it's already happening. Don't be naive, Leo! Please, I challenge you, study the works of those who were imprisoned by communists. Study more books about human nature. We all want people to be more conscious but it won't happen. Human nature is not basically good and we all know it.

Which I'm doing on a daily basis. And I'm doing that even when I'm working. I'm always putting myself in the present moment. It's hard but I know it will pay off in the long run. I'm a fan of Eckhart Tolle and his teachings. With that being said, I'm not getting involved in politics. I don't try to fix the world. But I wish that people would stop being so naive and be prepared for the next Stalin. It will happen whether you like it or not. Don't you know that most people in the West have severe childhood traumas? Just by contemplating this question, I realize that we're on the verge of destruction. The world is full of narcissists.

@Leo Gura, history tells me otherwise. I carefully studied The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene. You've probably read this book. Most humans are little devils. I call them "machiavellian types". I refuse to be ignorant in believing that humans will become someday Angels. And by the way, I'm not interested in ideology. I all care about is goodness. I want people to be free and live prosperous lives. But that isn't the case. When you look back in history, most people in Germany and other European countries went about their lives living happily and six million Jews died. Not to mention the horrors of Vladimir Lenin when he founded the 1st communist state on Earth, leading to tens of millions of deaths. That will happen again. It is already happening in some places. You called me naive and I'm not offended by that. What's naive is to believe that the world as you see it today it's a given when in fact, it's not. Humans must fight to preserve everything good in the world, otherwise, it will fall. It's as simple as that. We shouldn't take civilization for granted. Every spiral dynamic stage has positive components that must be preserved.

Then what can we do to ensure that we continue to live in a functional society where people have the right to speak freely and not be prosecuted for it? What can we do to ensure a stable society? Please take this exact statement seriously: I want a society devoided from tyranny, nazism, and communism. What can we do to ensure that? When I look at Communist China, I see that is on the rise and that it wants to dominate the entire world with its horrific values. In China, there are two million people in concentration camps. The crackdown on religion, particularly Buddhism. These are serious topics that must be discussed. And why is America doing so well? Who built the country? Why is it so prosperous? Is it because of Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk? What's America's secret? Isn't liberty? Why aren't you guys preoccupied with preventing devilry? I often think about Stalin, Hitler, and Mao... and what they did to humanity. Atrocious.

Okay. Then help me understand what these people want? What does the MAGA movement want? To destroy the US constitution? I don't think so. Why are they in favor of the US constitution if they are such a threat to democracy? I just don't get it, man. What do you think about this video, @Leo Gura? Valuetainment is on the left but he engages in conversations with conservatives. Although people think I'm a conservative, just for the record, I'm not. I all value is freedom. Liberty is a value that MUST be preserved. We need to agree on something.

I absolutely agree. With that being said, @Leo Gura, it's wrong to believe that conservatives and Trump are doing that. Trump just conceded the election. Reality contradicts what the left thinks about Trump and the MAGA movement. I admit that Trump is a narcissist, but he's definitely not Stalin. Come on!

@Leo Gura, look what happens in China. Would you like to live in Communist China? I don't think so. And I believe we're heading towards a dangerous path. I'm not a conservative but I love the fact that conservatives are doing their best to protect liberty and the United States constitution. I challenge you to read Albert Camus or George Orwell.

The United States constitution was formed to guarantee the right of every individual to speak freely. When the US constitution was made, you didn't have Facebook or Twitter. It's fair to say that Facebook and Twitter are taking part in our society. Twitter is a social platform composed mainly by people. In some sense, they are platforms that give people the posibility to express themselves freely. When you cut off an individual, you're not allowing that individual to express himself. You cutting of expression. You're basically against free expression. It's not about terrorism. We all know that extreme content must be regulated. All I want for you is to express yourself freely, without having the oligarchs silencing you. It is wrong to supress dissent.

That's really sad. With that being said, you don't crack down on God-given rights. You never touch the concept of liberty if you want to live in a free society. What you must do instead is punish people like that crazy person who wanted to shoot people. That's why we have laws and prisons. You can't blame liberty for what Alex Jones is doing or any crazy person for that matter.

All I want for you is to have the right to say what you want and not be censored for it. If you tell a lie, other people can debunk it.

I don't even try to debate people on the left because they think Twitter of Facebook for that matter have to right to ban anyone they want. They claim that these companies are private and they have the right to take any action they want. That can't be further from the truth; Twitter and Facebook are monopolies. They are buying politicians to gain power and influnce. On the other had, I've read books written by George Orwell, Albert Camus and Fyodor Dostoevsky where they explicitly point out that people who try to crack down on free speech and freedom in general are always a threath to liberty. Those on the left are naive people. I hate to say this but they don't think clearly. They might be bright and intelligent but certainly they lack wisdom. It's not an attack but an objective fact. The history is cyclical. It repeats itself. I won't take long until we'll end up tortured or, in a concentration camp. If you actually look back, you see how many problems humanty had to confront. How much evil has been playing out. This isn't imaginary stuff. It happened. It's real. Don't forget: liberty is fragile. It can be taken away. We're on the path to lose it. I can't fathom why so many people voted for Bided. Just because they hate Trump? I don't know. What I do know is that hate shouldn't be a factor when it comes to voting. You vote for those who love and protect your liberties, despite their flaws. We're simply human, meaning that we are flawed creatures. I do believe that the West will no longer have freedom in the future. It's a fact. It will happen. If you think otherwise, you're deluded. I'm not ideological here. You can study the work of Albert Camus for example or books about communism and what communism did to hummanty. My parents lived under it.

Hello. I'm starting to like a co-worker. I wonder about her all the time and I'm subtly observing most of her moves. I can't stare at her all the time; that would make me a stalker and it would definitely freak her out. From studying and observing human behavior, I've learned that it's better to play "the observation game" in the most subtle manner. I've been noticing that women are playing "the observation game" as well. In general, women are better observers than men and more subtle when they examine somebody. Returning to the subject, I've been considering approaching this girl to talk to her in my own unique way. I want to be myself without hesitation. I wanna talk to her about my hobbies and about the fact that I like to read books, to study psychology and human behavior. The only thing that keeps me away from her is a negative mindset: I don't want to bore her with my subjects. What can I do in my situation? Should I speak whatever comes to mind? I would love that but I don't want to bore her. What can I talk about with a girl? From your experience, what kind of subjects don't bore women? Thanks.

It's not a problem. It is an opportunity to shine the light of your awareness onto the deep rage that you're feeling. This process leads you to develop a powerful skill: dealing with negative emotions in a conscious way. Those episodes of rage you're experiencing are unconscious reactions fueled by your thinking mind. Logically speaking, you don't want to be outrageous because you understand that negative emotions don't do you any good. Be okay with the fact that you're not selling enough stuff in your store, since you have no control over your sales. If you're okay with not selling enough products and your unconscious mind still reacts negatively, you have to catch the unconscious reaction of your mind through the means of your awareness. You catch your unconscious reaction and say: "Ohhh, it's just reactivity. An unpleasant reaction. I don't need to feed it. I don't need to react against it. I'll just let go of this negative feeling!". It might not be easy at first, but after a while and with repetitive practice, those unconscious reactions will dissipate into the light of your consciousness without being triggered again. Maybe you had a difficult childhood in the sense that your needs weren't met. You're the one who must figure this out. Reading the work of Dr. Gabor Maté can illuminate your mind and get you to the bottom of solving this "puzzle" of not knowing why you're so irritated. You don't have to express your anger. What you must do instead is to be okay with your anger and process it completely. Let it bubble up without reacting against it. Metaphorically speaking, be like an electrical conductor with no resistance. A counter-intuitive move is to feel the anger deeply. You must allow any negative emotion to take its own course until it burns itself up. Otherwise, it will come back stronger than ever before and never evaporate from the body.

Okay. But how do I show intention? Should I touch her? Benter? Give me a few examples, please.

You mean sexually? Are women really that interested in sex?

Wow! This advice gives me hope and motivates me to be myself. I'm working hard on this aspect; I wanna be myself around people without hesitation. I don't like being someone else or acting just to please others. I noticed that acting puts a lot of pressure on you and it doesn't do you any good, especially when it comes to your mental health. The truth is going to set me free. Thanks for the advice. Yes. I'll be 100% natural, without thinking in advance what I'm about to say. I'll say whatever comes to mind and be OK with it. I won't judge myself and I won't overthink everything. I will be practicing my social skills by approaching more women, just for the sake of talking to them for the purpose of getting better in the social world.

She likes to travel. That's true. I will be present and tell whatever comes to mind without planning it or trying to force my way through a conversation. That is what you mean, right?

I would like to open up an interesting subject about meditation. How many of you are meditating on a daily basis? I'm asking because I want to know if any of you does it continuously for hours, every single day. My objective is to access the GAMMA brain wave; to be non-stop in this wave. That's why I'm trying to be present all the time. But it doesn't stop there. It's not enough to be present. You just need to force yourself to focus on being present. In other words, you have to struggle to amplify your concentration levels exponentially or as much as possible. Take a look at this short video and let me know what you think. You might read the video transcript as well: Just out of curiosity, how does it feel to be in a gamma wave state? Is it like a shot of heroin?

What happens is you read something you're interested in? What happens in that exact moment? Are you feeling bored? Are you feeling frustrated? Do you want to just stop and do anything else? I believe it's possible to purge all the feelings that arrive when you do something you're not interested in. All you have to do is to perceive that activity differently. You might consider that even what seems boring at first can be an activity you enjoy. For example, you read a book you don't like. What are the benefits of reading a book that doesn't seem appealing to you? 1. Simply by reading, you put your mind at work. 2. You get to practice patience for doing something you don't like. 3. You develop tolerance for that very things you wanna avoid. 4. At some point, what seems boring will no longer be boring. You can choose to perceive things differently and transcend anything unlikable.

The gamma brain wave can definitely help toward achieving your goals. The brain has to work smoother. An individual must have a crystal-clear mind to be able to reach his potential. If somebody's an "ADHD" person, meaning that he's unable to stand still and focus on something he's not really interested in, he must meditate continuously for hours on a daily basis. Now, if he's not gonna do that, his brain won't build new neural pathways that allow him to sit still and concentrate for hours on the things that matter. I do have a job in a restaurant. I collect food trays. I walk 18 miles on foot and I still have a lot of energy when I get back home. With that being said, it doesn't stop me from being present all the time. It doesn't stop me from meditating, in the sense that I'm forcing myself to be focused on something; it can be your breath, the present moment, or the things that happen in your mind. It takes a while until you reach the flow state. Then, you need to maintain yourself in that flowing state even when somebody might be distracting you.

Guys, I have to force myself to be present because my own mind is wandering all the time. I need to force myself to stay alert and be the spectator of my mind. Why? What's the reason behind the obligation to stay present through force? The default mode network of my brain is constantly generating thoughts without my intention. It has its own independence. Furthermore, the default mode network has an extremely powerful force that takes a big part of my awareness when is generating thoughts. So when I'm trying to be present, I don't even realize that I'm thinking without being conscious. It's like having ADHD (I'm 100% sure I have it), the harder you try to remain present, the harder it gets. By forcing myself to remain present, I overpower the default mode network of my brain and finally have a chance to stay in the present moment. And yes, it's that difficult for me. But with determination, you can accomplish anything.

Hi. I'm reading a new book. I have something important to share with those passionate about the fundamentals of reality. This is an excerpt from the book Thought As Passion by Ken Wilber: I thought the ideas above might inspire you to contemplate the very nature of consciousness. God bless!
