It permanently quiets the monkey mind. But very subtly, very slowly. It raise baseline consciousness, but very subtly, very slowly.

That is tough. You have to somehow convince yourself it is the most important thing in the world. What will convince you of that, I don't know. A major Awakening to God would help. Via a psychedelic. That's what convinces me the most.

Death has never been demonstrated. Scientists do believe in death. Improperly defining death is half the problem. You have zero scientific evidence that Charlie Kirk is not alive in heaven with God.

It depends how deep you want the understanding to be. You can't understand that the point of all politics is Love unless you realize that Love is what drives all conscious beings. How you gonna realize that without some meditation? Most people are happy with shallow explanations, for which meditation is not needed.

Obviously you can still do good narrow intellectual work, like writing a biography of Hitler, but as far as sense-making of reality as a whole, that will fail.

It's not conformity, it is done because 80% of people never watch more than 30% of a video. Chasing after subs count is conformity though.

It is a profound mistake to want things to be easy.

Haha, yes. But also rewarding. If it was easy it wouldn't mean anything. Climbing mount Everest means nothing if you can just helicopter to the top.

As I said, luxury is conformity. When rubes get ahold of easy wealth, they waste it in cringe and tasteless ways. That describes wealthy Arabs.

There is always a way. The question isn't whether you can but whether you will. You tell us. Will you? If you don't lead the way, it won't happen but by luck.

That is not something I say.
