By thinking. You have to actually think, not just consume.

A venue has to give a platform to a Nazi? I think not.

Only if the other person is crazy and refuses to leave you alone.

No one has the obligation to do business with you if they dislike your political opinions. That is not a violation of the Constitution. The violation happens when government officials punish you for speech. In fact, businesses make celebrities sign morality clauses, which punish the celebrity for being immoral in public.

Most places on the internet become echochambers unless proactive measures are in place.

Reddit has some very useful and great content, but it all depends on the topic and subReddit. Some subReddits are toxic echochambers, other subReddits are great. SubReddits on health problems and psychedelics are really good and useful.

China invading other countries would be as disastrous for China as Ukraine is for Putin. You cannot invade countries successfully in our current era. That time is over. Invading a country is like rape. Today, the social cost of everyone knowing you're a rapist is too high to be worth the rape.

There are already strict laws on how much fish is allowed to be fished. Those laws just need to be enforced. America has been regulating fisheries for over 100 years, with good success. Many fish populations have recovered thanks to regulations.

You cannot take understanding out of Awakening/God-Realization. God IS self-understanding. That's all it ultimately is. When you understand yourself totally enough, you will know you are God. That's all there is to it.

If you think human progress is a myth, go live in the Congo. This guy pontificates about progress being a myth while sitting atop the mountain of progress. Progress is indeed normal and will continue to happen regardless of what anyone says or does. If you wanted to, you could not stop human progress.

Lol. This is such a nothing-burger. Ed Sheeran's opinion on Gaza makes zero difference. Such performative moralism.

Lol NO ONE! ONLY YOU! That's why I keep harping on Sovereignty and Autonomy of Mind. You truly have to accept that your Mind alone defines truth. Your Mind needs to accept that, "I alone define truth". NO! There is zero room for self-deception in being AWAKE. Self-deception is everything that humans do until Awakening. Self-deception does not apply to TRUTH.

I would disagree here. A baby cannot Awaken. Awakening requires realizing that you are God. If "you are God" is not realized, Awakening has not occurred at all. A baby can experience higher consciousness, but the baby will not be able to understand what it is. There is no Awakening without understanding. It is not enough to experience God, because everyone is experiencing God at all times. The issue is, Do you understand what God is? So experience of God is not technically enough for Awakening.

Just don't overlook that this applies to science and all forms of knowledge. Is the Earth really round, or are you just agreeing with science? Is 1+1=2 really true, or are you just agreeing with the dogmas of math? For any truth, you are going to have the question of: Is this really true, or am I just convinced its true by social forces? That's why truth cannot be a social thing.

Don't be too available via text. Keep texting short.
