So what? All those drugs have serious side-effects. The vaccine has been given to 100s of millions of people. If you do that with any drug you will see tons of side-effects cases. It's simple statistics. You are so much better off just taking the vaccine rather than trying experimental drug treatments that have not been well tested. People have lost their minds with anti-gov paranoia. The gov is trying to help you from dying. Stop making it complicated.

Look at your hands. That is existence. You can't get at existence with thoughts.

You are talking about survival. Within the domain of survival there are win-win-win scenarios and loving actions that we should aspire to. If Hitler was alive, I would be okay with assassinating him. In the Absolute domain, all is Love no matter what happens. But humans don't live in that domain.

Correct But it's sorta even more radical. Non-existence exists as a concept. That's what non-existence is. Non-existence is a child of existence. The mistake here is to assume that non-existence could be its own thing. It can't be its own thing. Nothing can be outside of existence since existence is all things.

Remember, the definition of an Absolute is that which has no opposite. So whatever you consider the Absolute to be, it better have no opposite, otherwise it ain't Absolute. If Truth is the Absolute, then it cannot have a falsehood alongside it.

This isn't rocket science. Look at what happened to the dodo birds. All of your ancestors were rapists, murderers, and thieves. Because if they weren't they would have been raped, murdered, and robbed. Like the dodos.

That's the mindfuck, the process of how you imagine reality is itself purely imaginary. Absolute reality cannot have a process. It is 100% direct. Which means no process. It's an instantaneous, magical manifestation of God's Will. God's Will just IS physical reality. So the technical answer to your question is: MAGIC But you don't like that answer because the ego cannot use it.

Death is imaginary. It never actually occurs. God has existed forever. It cannot not exist since God imagines non-existence. You're not really awake unless you're perfectly conscious that death will never occur. Infinity cannot die because it literally has nowhere else to go. Infinity exists in all places at once, including no-place. Anywhere you imagine Infinity might go to upon death, it's already there!

You should not expect women to throw these indicators at you unless you man up and approach first. Don't be lazy. Approach and stop second-guessing yourself or comparing yourself to other guys.

Notice that what you're doing here is allowing your mind to double-down on distorted and biased narratives because you are bitter about not getting the success with women you could be getting if you work on developing yourself. Women are the problem. This is the illusion your mind is spinning. The problem is your attitude and biased perception of the situation. Stop letting your mind blame others for deficiencies in your life. Take 100% responsibility for attracting quality women into your life. This is the way. Blaming women will not get you good results. It will only make you stall and feel worse. The #1 thing you must do is stop consuming all Red Pill, Black Pill, Incel ideology. Just stop looking at it. It is like drinking poison. It is not helping you fix your situation and no good woman will want to date you when you are so toxic.

That is a good point. Seems like they overestimated the American puppet government. That is an understandable blindspot.

Being is prior to all knowledge. As soon as you eat from the tree of knowledge you get lost in concepts and lose touch with Being, which is God. In a sense all knowledge is devilry since it is 2nd order and dualistic.

Serious Buddhists are very passionate people. It's just that the ideology of Buddhism paints this false idea of dispassion as the ideal.

It's very telling when humans ascribe more intelligence to a book than to a palm But when in Rome, do as the Romans. I should have had a giant altar to Sam Harris in the background. That would have made my ideas 2000% more acceptable to Curt's audience

Basically it has to start with epistemology. There shouldn't even be talk of God before first talking about epistemology for 5 hours. People cannot handle the higher truths until they get their epistemology sorted out. And Curt didn't really want to talk about epistemology. I tried to nudge him in that direction but he kept avoiding it. We didn't talk about deconstructing science at all. Which means his scientific audience will be stuck in science while trying to understand things which are beyond science. This is not possible. But Curt wasn't really interested in deconstructing science. I'm not blaming him. These are just such tricky topics and I don't expect him to foresee all these nuances. Because if he could, he would not need to interview anyone.

Of course. Awakening requires intense desire. People get this point very wrong. All the most advanced spiritual masters had intense desire for spiritual work. Their mastery didn't just happen through laziness. Nothing happens through laziness. You must be passionate about this work. You gotta love it more than your children. If you don't love it, you don't do it. You can't be great at something you don't care about. I fucking love exploring metaphysics. That's fundamentally what drives all my work. I love it more than anything else in the world. And, YES! -- that's a bias! All passion is bias. Don't worry about that.

Well, I can't really expect him to be very structured in his questioning. Interviews are not the same as my own structured lectures. An interview cannot ever be a college lecture.

This is hilarious

Well, it's feasible until they run out of hospital space.

Yes, I felt I had to rush because there was too much to say and not enough time to say it. The Martin Ball interview as totally different because I was interviewing him. I wasn't trying to explain all of reality there. The challenge with the Curt interview is that its purpose was to explain all of reality. Which is basically impossible in that short amount of time. You cannot explain all the errors of materialism and rationalism within 5 hours. Especially when I am asked questions in an unstructured, random way.

I'd say it's even worse than that. Obviously the desire to escape suffering is a bias and it comes from ego. But even worse, the desire for Truth is also a bias and egoic! But the kicker is, there's nothing wrong with pursuing Truth or awakening for egoic purposes. Of course you must have a bias towards Truth in order to awaken. That's not a mistake. That's the only way the ego will get hooked into it. If you don't have a bias towards Truth you will basically never awaken. And there's nothing wrong with that! If you think awakening is better than non-awakening -- that too is a bias. God doesn't mind either way. God does not mind being asleep. Which explains how you got here as a human in the first place. If being asleep was bad or wrong then you would not have been born.

But not specifically for Covid, for parasites. Controlled tests would have to be done specifically on Covid. And you have to consider the side-effects. You can't fear-monger about vaccine side-effects while ignoring the Ivermectin side-effects. All drugs have side-effects. So it's a question of which side-effects are worse. Taking anti-parasitic drugs for months and years just to prevent a Covid outbreak is probably horrible for your health -- way worse than a vaccine. Anti-parasitics can have serious side-effects. I recently took an anti-parasitic called Albendazol for 6 days. It was horrible. I could barely function for those 6 days. You get non-stop diarrhea shooting out your ass like a fire hose. And it's bad for your liver.

No, that would not work. You cannot progressivize Afghanistan, that is a fool's errand which we tried for 20 years and it failed. I mean progressive on domestic issues. I don't see how a progressive could have ended Afghanistan any better than Biden other than to plan it better so there is not a mad scramble at the last minute. It just required better planning to get everyone out ahead of the deadline in an orderly manner.

@Gregory1 I agree with most of your feedback. The biggest problem is that we jumped around so much that to newbies they will totally be lost and it will not make sense. It's hard to give simple answers to some of his deep questions because it requires a lot of laying the foundation. If he asks me something like, "Does free will exist?" that answer requires so much preamble. Just saying Yes or No isn't gonna cut it. And then as I try to lay down the preamble, the original question easily gets lost. I am definitely drawing lessons from this interview to improve in the future about how I articulate things. I could certainly have been more clear and concise.

@electroBeam You don't need to do physically dangerous doses to awaken.
