People are too lazy to do epistemic work.

So, I decided to focus my consciousness on understanding and experiencing insanity. And then I broke through into an actual domain of insanity. Spent about an hour there. You really have no idea what consciousness is until you've experienced insanity.

Thanks. I'll look into the show.

I don't have a list. I stated a general principle.

I don't agree.

I plan to include this topic in my Awakening course which will cover advanced aspects of consciousness like insanity and alien consciousness.

I didn't see a clear way to construct a logical proof of that.

Logically, if marriages last less then dating opportunities are higher. About half the women I dated were divorced. Which means that if their marriages were the life-long kind of the good ol days, then I would not have been able to date them. Men who complain that dating is harder don't realize that dating is actually easier today than it used to be thanks to the deterioration of life-long marriages. Less marriage means more dating.

@Hardkill That relates to marriage. People are still as horny as ever and looking for sex and companionship. As far as life-long commitment goes, of course that has dropped due to having more wealth and more freedom.

Exactly.

Humans have been poor since the dawn of time. Nothing new about that. Poverty has deceased over the last century.

It is harder in that too many people live online and don't know how to socialize. That is a real obstacle. But if you are out socializing it is not harder. The things that attract women have not changed and will not change.

It's hard to say what will happen. It's a chaos situation.

The direction all this is headed keeps getting worse and worse. We are tired of screaming, I told you so, into the wind.

First, Infinity must be realized. Then one can inquire ever deeper into what Infinity is. The deeper you look into Infinity, the more weird aspects of it will emerge. Infinity of Gods way beyond any kind of logical proof.

I am aware of the issue. The hosting company I am using has slowly deteriorated in quality. I have to move the site to a new company to make it reliable again, but this involves a lot of pain in the ass. But I will have to do it. Sorry for the slowness, I am annoyed by it too.

Netanyahu is such a fucking devil. He's like a cartoon character.

That list could be so vast, it depends a lot on what areas of life you're trying to master. Not everyone here is mastering the same areas.

It is not a function of "me". It's not about how I use my mind. It's just that chemicals can have strange, uncontrollable effects on your mind. That's basically the point of psychedelics. It changes your chemistry beyond your personal control. For me, LSD especially, often just forces my mind and state into a negative, strange territory. It is not something I control. It's not like I'm sitting there thinking negative thoughts. The state itself becomes sour for random reasons. If you took datura you would probably have a negative state regardless of how much you tried to control your mind. The ego is not in charge of trips. You are at the mercy of the randomness of chemistry.

That's too much to expect of people.

1) American troops were in Arabia with the blessing of the Saudi government. Bin Laden was such a religious lunatic that he didn't respect the Saudi government. 2) America helped Afghans resist the Soviets. This was to the Afghans favor. But again, Bin Laden was such a self-righteous religious lunatic that he wanted all the credit for defending the Middle East for himself. Bin Laden had ridiculous views that even most Saudis disagreed with. Bin Laden was outraged that the Saudi government chose US troops to repel Saddam's invasion of Kuwait instead of Bin Laden's rag-tag group of religious fanatics. It was really quite a stupid thing to upset over. Americans did the fighting for the Saudis and Bin Laden was pissed off over it. That's a silly reason to terrorize Americans for. Terrorizing Americans for supporting Israel and oppressing Palestinians at least makes sense.

I think Scorn wasted some amazing potential for a profound, satisfying, spiritual conclusion. Makes no sense why they didn't seize it.
