  1. Past hour
  2. He hasn’t be shitty at giving alternative it just wasn’t his point. What is commonly believed to be communism is the Bolshevik statist system.
  3. Mr. Newman seems particulalry performative. Absence of any signs of adequate affective empathy is not a bumper sticker for enlightenment. Something that has slipped by niches within this demographic concerning this subject as a whole. Psychopathy and non-dualism is perfectly compatible. And so is non-duality and empathy. This is the distinction between moral centrism and generative morality I brought up earlier: Nondual experience will likely render moral centric stances incompatible with ones own organic generative morality obsolete, rather than brain damage to the ability to adequately empathise. A moral compass, is first and foremost functional (nervous system) not structural (social programming). Generative morality differs by sex, hormones, genetics and has epigenetic effects from culture and environment like most other standard functional resolves of similar complexity, like the way fluid intelligence tends to be presently measured. Non-dualists indicating to be more enlightenment by lacking affective empathy is likely the result of simply falling higher on the narcissism and psychopathy spectrum. People are naturally more likely to be attracted to non-dualists that fall higher on the psychopathy spectrum simply because they also tend to be more charismatic speakers. This isnt demonisation, it is characterisation and determination. People are far more easily to be misled if they take every claim of people falling higher on this spectrum at face value. Zero emotional response to killing babies is probably a red flag, and comedic gestures thereto, at the very least a yellow flag. Absence of empathy, or, wisdom that just seems performative, does not mean one cannot learn anything from a teacher, it means the architecture of the learning experience, like the categories of how learning is filtered and funnelled, needs better performance metrics from the learner. Psychopathy does not equal extreme danger, this demonisation needs to be refined, it actually means less biases in some areas but enormous blindspots in others. Psychopathy and spiritual teaching is compatible, but its compatibility is very different, and one where a more experienced student is probably more appropriate to discern rather than a beginner starting off with a psychopath.
  4. ??? whats the difference? Reality is magic therefore anything is possible therefore that's infinity.
  5. Leftists are just fucking lame to be honest. Beyond enforcing people's rights; they see nothing else
  6. When Ezra Klein recently interviewed Helen Lewis, they discussed reasons the left is losing. An interesting point was brought up about the aesthetic of the political parties. While the left is uncomfortable with the future and the past, MAGA on the other hand is embracing both and ruling in the present. The left projects this demotivating narrative that the past was racist, sexist, and colonial while the future is polluted/warming, controlled by evil AI, and jobless. On the other hand MAGA romanticizes the past and embraces new technology (AI, Crypto, social media). I never heard this critique of the left before and it might actually have some merit. Could be a reason MAGA appeals to about half the voters.
  7. I don't think everyone needs to have a thriving romantic and social life for society to function. All the tools are here today to make you be able to build one if you so desire. The average man takes the path of least resistance as @Natasha Tori Maru rightly points out and then complains when women don't find them attractive. That's fine that's natural selection, it's always helped out species become great over time. If incels don't want to reproduce that's fine with me, I'll get rich and impregnate 10 women and if I need to knockup even more then that it will be my honor and I gladly accept the responsibility to help female-kind procreate.
  8. Yes offering value is the oldest influence and power trick in the book. Actually be a genuinely valuable person to know and spend time with with good communication skills and emotional intelligence. Just be careful with the way you phrased it. That's textbook nice guy syndrome and people pleasing as covert contract to get what you want. Most guys treat women with kindness and respect and get surprised when women don't want to fuck them as a result. Attraction is a science that's worth mastering.

    Trouble is pretty much everyone has that self-assessment, few ppl wanna admit they're clowns. Using x-ray vision to sort the wheat from the chaff looks more viable, especially given there's not that many regular users here; easy to memorize patterns. Regular posting itself is not a good sign, some of the coolest stuff I've seen from those just dropping in after a couple years of quietly doing the work and peacing out again.
  10. It's extremely exciting to live in our times. I believe Leo when he says when you reach stage turquoise you realize humanity has reached 5% of it's potential. The current societal narrative is blowing up and selling people tradition as an antidote is an very old power move to find wide ranging support bases. The first emperor of Rome Augustus used it to consolidate his power and finalize the destruction of the republic. Wait until AI UBI goes mainstream in the 2030s and people will get even more crazy as they feel as their existence is now meaningless now that they're now enslaved by cookie cutter work. Freedom is terrifying to humans because we're not used to it but it's obviously beautiful. This new right "masculinist" movement is kind of dumb because it doesn't really even preach self-improvement like the pickup movement did in the 2000s and 2010s. What good comes from demonizing female sexuality and technology? Congrats you're now an incel with no market leverage. It's beautifully ironic that a lot of the ones that preach it are hypersexual themselves and use their social media platforms to get a bunch of women and print cash from their audience that's too underdevelopped to understand what hypocrisy looks like. You can see it with hstikkytokky from the red pill netflix doc who roasted onlyfans girls calling them degenerate whores while actively building an onlyfans agency. At least he was wise enough to take a break from social media and reevaluate and life philosophy; hopefully he's wise enough to cure his own cognitive dissonance.
  11. It's 100% a skill issue and light narcissism. You shouldn't take this stuff too seriously in terms of internalizing shame due to being unsuccessful with women. If you're naturally good at something you'll rarely get great at it Workout, go out regularly, get some status through social media and make a list of the hottest single women in the world that are your personal 10 and make it a mission to cum in at least one of them. Enjoy sexuality, it's beautiful but when you internalize being an incel then of course giving up is gonna take a load off your shoulders momentarily. MGTOW is a thing for a reason and those guys all seem miserable and like they're coping hard lol
  12. Yeah. That was one of the major contributions of Marx. He was a great analysist of capitalism like this, but shitty at giving advice of good alternatives. All things considered he died in 1883, he didn't get to see his influence on society.
  13. I don't know why I keep expecting higher intelligence, maturity and consciousness from this forum. Even here, most people lack the seriousness to properly talk about God or even be a highly developed human being. If you know you are one of the serious ones or have that calling in you, text me via PM, I wanna know you and get out of the herd noise. Let's do real work.
  15. Today
  16. Glad you like his work too! He's more a philosopher than an academic, but after all so is Leo He does have a Bachelor of Arts in History and International Relations and a Doctor of Philosophy in History from the University of Oxford. Amazing guy.

    @Leo Gura I get you want to correctly define "God", but maybe you are a bit too quick.

    We need that alien transformation on camera... now!
  21. thank you for all your suggestions!
  22. Are we assuming there is more than one God realization? So maybe there are partial God realizations?
  23. Oh I didn’t refer to your other comments when I replied, I simply built on your comment of him being spot on. So yea I get that you’re making a different claim.
  24. i've almost had OBEs i've had the beginning of it but not quite the full fruition of it because i get scared when i get the tingles....it all happened when i kundalini-yoga'd myself to get the third eye opened. So all in due time i imagine i'll be able to have an OBE, it might be terrifying, or wonderful, i dont know what to expect.
  25. Fear creates the illusion of separation.
  26. ^ Yes indeed, and in so doing you remove the differences, the contrast between you and 'the other' gets diminished and instead one finds unity
  27. Accepting difference is an aspect of Love for sure.
