Are you more conscious than a chimpanzee?

Good one. Also that oversized first letter.

Bad example.

That is addiction, not conformity.

Marxists calling each other Comrade.

Hindus sit cross-legged because they are too poor for chairs.

Beware of conformity. Why are you copying him?

Cornell 57. Gang rape.

Because you are not fully Awake. Also because you have unsatisfied desires and needs. You don't need it, but you crave it. That's what they call karma or samskaras. This is a classic Buddhist sort of issue. Buddhism is designed to eliminate craving. Kriya yoga eliminates craving even better.

Philosophy must be about truth, otherwise all your reasoning and systems will turn into delusion. Like post-modernism. PM shows you what happens when you make philosophy about something else. In the end, you want to be able to say that your philosophy is true. Otherwise what's the point? If you don't have a true philosophy then you have a false philosophy, which is just nonsense. Anyone making philosophical claims of any kind is claiming they are true. Philosophy is a battle for truth.

There cannot be a reason to be Good. Good is for itself. If you don't love Good, don't be Good. Waking Up is not a should, it is for those who love understanding Reality so much that they cannot live without understanding it. Pursue Awakening if there's nothing else you'd rather do. Being alive and Awake is different than not being alive but Infinity. Both are God, but different experiences. You are correct that you can struggle with living up to your own ideals. However, rape is such a serious crime that if you truly felt it was wrong, you would not do it. Just like you don't do murder. Rapists have the attitude of, "Ahhh, it's no big deal. She has sex with a bunch of guys anyway, so what difference does one more dick make?" Guys bullshit themselves about rape. They minimize it to nothing because from a man's POV, rape is meaningless. Guys even make the argument in their mind of: "Well, but if she raped me, that would be hot. So it's fine." Or they will say, "All women secretly dream of getting raped anyway. So women are hypocrites!" My point was: If you truly understood what rape is, you would not do it. You would not even be tempted to do it, just like you are not tempted to murder. The mind plays all sorts of tricks when it comes to getting sex. Guys get lost in those tricks.

How else you gonna transcend it, through intellectual misunderstanding? Haha

It's okay. He just needs to kick the alcohol. He will improve. It's a phase with him.

Haha. My understanding is 10x deeper today. 2020 looks cringe to me now. But, of course I forget stuff. And I rewatch my own videos for reminders.
