I can't speak that far ahead. I need to complete a couple retreats to see how successful they are, how effective they are, how people like them, and how I feel about working them. If things go well, I would like to host 2 retreats per year for the next few years. Beyond that I don't know yet.

Fuck man, I admire the diligence - Truly! You could also try it with just glucose. True scientist I gotta say, you were the main inspiration for me purchasing a quality air monitor. There was smoke haze over Melbourne 2 days ago, my eyes went bloodshot. Nose sniffling, lungs hurting and slight headache. The haze was barely perceptible to the senses. But my air monitor was pinging alerts, indicating the air quality was 'very high' in pollutants. I am not as diligent/anxious as yourself with this stuff, I just do what I can - but it made me think about China and India. They have some of the worst air quality on earth....

" have faith" Said by every con artist who's ever lived. But if you ever try to accomplish anything you have to have some faith in yourself, there's going to be plenty of things you don't know that you're going to have to learn along the way, if you have no faith you're never going to get started -

Literal Shots fired at the WHCD and Trump is evacuated. Guess it will be rescheduled. -
This is solid advice although would take a while for some to actualise

That's true maybe I'll try mixing some pure sugar into water and just drinking it
-
I can understand that - but think about all the rest of the pure SHIT in coke. These chemicals, excluding sugar, could possibly be contributing.

Interesting. I always thought this was an US old west version of root beer, but it looks like it has a different history.

Leo do you wanna do biannual retreats for life? I like the idea of you teaching me God Realization on a psychedelic when I'm old enough.

There's a loophole if you don't vote you don't fall into the category of someone who pressed blue. So if you don't vote you don't die and you dont contribute to red. But you also dont contribute to blue, so if you want you can gamble your life to support blue.
-
If we rephrase the question to be you press the button you get 100,000 and you kill one random family member. It changes everything. The whole point is we need people to gamble their lives to support blue to save everyone on Earth. Because it's going to be between 40 to 60% of people that are going to press blue

No, it makes you feel good. When you feel good things get better for you. Its actually super useful, probably one of the most useful things you can have. If you have it you are 100 times better off in reality than someone who dosent. Matt Dillahunty is like a 12 year old. I dont know why you think hes smart. Who said faith leads to truth? Ask Dillahunty has tried it or is he making a logical conclusion about irrational emotions? Dillahunty have you ever had absolute faith that God is real? He would say no. Try it, see what happens. He would say I cant, Then how can you make that logical conclusion Dillahunty? He would refuse to do it. Why? If He refused he would have to accept the fact that he is trying to make logical conclusions based on irrational emotions, and lying about it, because he wont logically follow up with being in total faith to God. All done unconciously. Then ask him whats unconsciously hiding something? If Dillahunty admits that having absolute faith that God exists and would make you feel better with 0 effort, but refuses to do it because it might not lead to truth that shows him the devil. Whats doing that? What stopping him from being logical and feel better at the same time? This would also show him that his logic dictates his emotions. Why? Why cage something that is irrational? -

@Human Mint I have met a pedophile. This was a person in a mental healthcare center who was on medication for dissociative disorders. This was a trans woman and she said that she hates herself because she is a pedophile and she doesn't want to have these fantasies about kids. It makes her feel like a monster and she doesn't want to act on this sexual desire because of the harm it would cause. She seemed to have multiple personalities which is sometimes the result of childhood sexual abuse which both makes someone fear becoming a perpetrator and sometimes causes intrusive fantasies in which the power dynamic is reversed while having confused boundaries as to what is and isn't okay. Most pedophiles never act on their sexual desire because they also have empathy for the child and don't want to harm them. I want to be clear that most child molesters are not pedophiles. Pedophilia is one disproportionate motive for offending, but it is not the most common psychological profile. The most common profile is the opportunistic or situational profile. This one is more common in institutional abuse and incest. Situational offenders often have the vulnerability of social isolation, such that if they have anti-social peers then there is a chance that their peers will change their perception of what behavior is acceptable, ultimately because they want belonging which can include illegal sexual activities. This happens in gangs and institutions. Most of those offenders are not pedophiles and their psychological vulnerabilities are systematically predictable given how the environment we created in this society has created social isolation. This is a vulnerability that would predictably increase the likelihood of someone becoming a sex offender. Dysfunctional families are an additional layer, leaving individuals more prone to peer pressure depending on what groups they end up with by chance. The moral judgment is very simplistic and it obscures many important truths about human nature and what factors lead normal people to becoming child molesters. Remember, as human beings we have more in common with child molesters than we have differences. This is the core truth being denied when we demonize child molesters as if they are fundamentally different from us. Deep down, many of us are afraid to self-reflect and see the similarities which is actually important for prevention. Does anybody want to argue that as human beings, child molesters are fundamentally different from us? Are there really no similarities between child molesters and all other human beings in terms of how their psyche and circumstances shape their behavior? I have thoroughly deconstructed the monster narrative in a separate thread for those interested. Under sufficient scrutiny, the monster narrative simply does not hold under strong empiricism backed by a lot of research into sex offenders. They are not fundamentally evil, they are fundamentally human just like us. -

It's like jesus himself can afford an automobile, but why eat socks, if Mormons only believe in patriotism. That's guaranteed death. What would make more sense is to invest in a more reliable priesthood. If Che Guevara made toast on a Sunday, would he be sentenced or eventually Christened. Beyond what paradoxes survive, we must each take our own plates and be uncelibate. Centuries of musicians make anthills out of molehills. So be like your mother, if you've chosen God over spirituality. -

@Socrates That Dr.K podcast didnt go bad because of Dr.K. Sadhguru - wasnt answering any questions rambling and repeating the same things he does every single time. Dr k was asking good questions but I think Sadhguru would diagnose then entire western civilization as schizophrenic. So any 'trying to understand' a mental illness to fix it to him is the same thing as trying to put a fire out with more fuel for the fire. But he dosent explain that at all in the interview so its like hes not even paying attention to Dr k. Dr K has probably watched all of sadhgurus stuff and wanted to go deeper or in depth into mental illness, but Sadhguru refused to do it. Probably because its not an 'illness', if you are slapping yourself in the face can you count it as an illness? Like a cold or flu? -

This comment says more about you than the post owner. you can't judge someone's character like that. -
We can rephrase the question: if you press red you live. but 50% of people will die on earth. If you press blue you have a 50% chance of death but everyone on earth survives. So this isnt identical to original but its good enough: If you press red you live and you kill 6 billion people. That includes your child, your mother, your wife, your girlfriend. Half of your family gets wiped out. --- So this assumes the result is going to go 50/50 and it's going to be a close match. So if you're going to go red there's a chance youll kill off your mother if she also didnt pick red. Basicly all the red people are the killers and the blue people are the sane ones trying to protect the whole (including family). Picking red is contributing to red and betting against your children, your mother, your gf, leo... who probably pressed blue.

@Willy Phallicus I have covered this thoroughly. By having empathy and understanding of sex offenders, we can see not only their humanity, but also the psychological mechanisms which led them to offending. This informs prevention in terms of how institutions should be structured, what oversight would prevent this, and what psychological vulnerabilities do we have that might make us prone to offending under specific circumstances. If they are fundamentally human, then given their set of psychological problems, others would likely behave in a similar way. This is not to excuse their actions, but practically this is important as demonizing people doesn't actually stop them. In fact, demonizing pedophiles makes them even less likely to seek help. This is why Germany has a very different policy for handling sex offender prevention compared to America. Germany is much more effective at protecting children by comparison because there are systems in place for people in that position to prevent harm. Empathy for sex offenders is critical in criminology because it informs the models of criminal motive and therefore possible mechanisms for prevention and protection. I extend this to all kinds of offenders beyond just sex offenders. The moral outrage is tempting, but practically it is not the best way for protecting children. Seeing the full picture including the perpetrator's point of view is necessary if our goal is to protect the vulnerable be they children, women, men, or animals. -

@TruthFreedom I used to be like you, I would get drunk because I was scared of myself. Then I wouldnt like myself so I would want to talk to people when I was drunk and made an ass of myself thousands of times. You are just lonely cause you are not connected. Keep crying God will answer one day. Dont stop you are on a path. 'Taking a break' is self humiliation as well. You dont want to stop you want an answer. God rewards those who dont stop until they get an answer. Just get to ultra low vibration, Be honest I am a piece of shit I am a loser No one cares about me I am abandoned by all including myself I have no friends family dont like me I am a robot I am a slave There is no hope. It will be like this forever and I will die and go to a void of nothing and not exist and never get any dreams fullfilled. Even if I do get to reincarnate eventually everything will die and there will be nothing to latch onto. You are doing something highly intelligent you just have to honest with your situation which takes more ego hit,
