-Google has monopoly.
-Google is tracking,fingerprinting and selling all your internet data.
-Google is scanning your emails.
-Google tracks your location even if you tell it not to.
-Google is letting 3D party developers scan your emails and share them.
-Google stores all you do on their services.
-Google tracks what you buy in physical stores.
-If Google dosen't manage to milk you enough, it buys your data from other services.
-Google is manipulating your search results in various ways.
-Google is censoring free speech.
-Faced multiple anti trust charges along the world.
-Is working with pentagon on military developments.
-Helping governments track and link everything you do online .
-Breaking human rights
-Ofc It is well known for Gulaging  people on Youtube .... and the Don't Be Evil thing.
-And ofc all that is stored on their servers forever, and profiled.

-Why did you think all these amazing google benefits are free and are .....so in your face all the time.
-Because they aren't free, its you that is the product. And its not simplification, its their business model.

Point is.There are Ethical, Security and Privacy reasons on why one should ditch Google as much as one can bare. Its better to give your life-force to more conscious, ethical and respecting companies instead of giving it to a monolithic Cyberpunk corporation that any 80ties sci-fi writer would never even imagined. (not over-blowing it)

EG:
-Firefox
-Brave
-DuckDuckGo
-Tutanota
-Protonmail
-Signal

If there is something we need in a more conscious society is basic internet education. People ....still use ....Chrome O.o

@Leo Gura I noticed that there isn't an explicit place for politics or political discussion, meta-political discussion etc on this forum. By default it's tended to go in Self-Actualization, which does seem to be the best fit right now. So perhaps you should add it to the "official" list of topics for the Self-Actualization sub-forum? Or perhaps we need a new sub-forum, something like Society and Politics..

Not really sure the best solution here, but wanted to open the discussion. 

The new politics videos are ACE by the way.

@outlandish Maybe. Not sure if there's enough demand.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

I doubt it's simpler. It's more stressful. 


This whole poor people are happier thing is such a crock of shit. 


Even back in the day when Buddha was around, people were just as miserable and materialistic. 

Humanimals.

Yeah, It's sorta both.

"Simpler" doesn't always mean "Happier".

Just to be clear, I didn't want to imply that poorer people are happier.

Even though a parallel-thread (top 5 cities and SD) has some talk going on about feminism and toxic masculinity/femininity, I still see this as more fitting here.

Also, I'm aware there's a thread about this interview with Eckhart Tolle already, but there wasn't much talk about the content of what Eckhart actually said - An on point political analysis. Wonder how long it takes till someone will call him alt-right for what he said here :D 12:55 onwards is topic-related

Conscious Politics....Doesn't this mean Truth in Politics.

I doubt that even Marianne Williamson will be able to suddenly turn all the political manipulation and chicanery into truth and transparency. What I believe must happen is that truth-politics has to flow in gradually or it will disrupt the current political system too much.

I have been thinking the same, in that if a state/country were to elect a majority of highly conscious people they would be destroyed by lower conscious states/countries.  I think this needs to happen gradually as well.  This is one reason I would like to see reinstatement of state rites.  If a state became more politically conscious there would be protection by the nation.  Then the other states would catch on and other nations would catch on.

I gotta give Joe Rogan props for building his podcast platform.  Wow.  Now all these famous people come to see him.  Very well done. 

But dont you think his guests are a little one sided?

I dont think Joe is that bright...  he's a very lazy thinker

I do like his comedy specials though, he's funny

You can have as much money as you want to have in life.  I've been really studying this video lately.  It's all about those mindsets.

I agree with the first part of your statement. 


It doesn't have as much to do with mindset though.


what matters is what you create and if it has value or not


Our thoughts dont mean shit.

I don't waste my money. Someone else in my position would live much more lavishly than I do.

I could go buy a Lamborghini in cash tomorrow. But the thought doesn't even cross my mind because it's such a childish desire.

I couldn't stop thinkin about this. 

Buying a lambo and driving it off a cliff. 

I'm really curious if you leave the window open and stay in, would the crash into the ocean ruin the car or would just go right in smoothly and then you can just get out the window and tow it out after with a nice shine to it

that would be a cool film for youtube

yellow lambo driven wildly off cliff

the views would pay for it


I still haven't ruled out running for office here in Funland


I think i would make a great president

and here it doesn't matter what anyone did or said only what you say now


fuck it i'm gonna do it in 20 years and win

if Trump can do it in usa i can do it here

Its in their business model and in their terms of service. Some you can mitigate by turning stuff off, (on - by default) in your google account settings, probably, at least you ll have legal grounds.

A lot of the other stuff I have personally tested, found publicly, or by consulting with network security veterans I trust.

I use Brave and Firefox, Protonmail as email and DuckDuckGo or Bing as search engine for the last couple of years, especially after google got ideological and went witch-hunting. Even if you are out of google, and are not using their services, it is still tracking you, a security configured Firefox, with Unimatrix or uBlockrigin is needed. It is very persistent at getting everywhere it can...like....a virus.

So in the name of conscious politics. Id say, I ll give my life-force to these other more ethical companies.

Im not able to really follow this. it's just surface level and doesn't seem to really explain anything.

Summary of the video: His claim is that Trump got elected because the left doesn't give a shit about the American working class and their everyday-concerns.

His analysis seems accurate to me. Don't call it surface-level; the Democrates still haven't figured that stuff out. People don't like it when you tell them what to think and question their ability to differentiate between right and wrong. Trump's approach was simple: I'm not better than normal people (shown even by his use of language; he talks like normal people, not like a politician or academic) and I will fight for the political issues that matter to you - the people. I will not ignore you. Trump was a breath of fresh and not another politician who, so many Trump-voters found, ignores them.

Trump has zero problem telling people what's right and what's wrong, because doing so gets him political power. He will tell you to your face that abortion is wrong, that socialism is evil, that immigrants are criminals and that protesting is unAmerican, all because it'll help gain him popularity with his voter base and the corporate stooges in power, and hence greater ability to fulfil his selfish drives. It doesn't matter if you're a woman who needs an abortion, a starving minimum wage worker working three jobs just to survive, a Hispanic child escaping drug gangs or a conscious American exercising their first amendment rights, he will moralise the fuck out of you and make your life significantly harder because your needs don't suit his devilish agenda.

The difference is evident that's for sure, that is why we need to talk about one issue at a time and not generalize things.  For instance;

Abortion   -   What is right about it?

Socialism   -   It has been done before so talk about where, and what about it works.

Immigrants   -   Should we let anyone come into a country....even known criminals?  And that means any country.

Protesting   -   How far do you allow it to go?  Should we allow people to be spat upon and beaten or do we draw a line at some point to protect people?

Corporations   -   How to deal with them?  By the way, there are plenty of stooges in power in both parties.

Minimum Wage   -   Set by States or is this U.S. policy? 

I think Trump points out many of his reasons for the way he thinks on these issues and people like clarity....not generalizations.

It starts with willingness to be open minded.
