  1. This makes so sense. The ego is constantly judging everything as bad. You judged 10 things as bad today. And you have done so every day of your life. And you will do it again tomorrow. Just observe yourself. Ego IS a matrix of goods and bads.
  2. @numbersinarow There is no mystery in the quote: bad and wrong are constructs for your ego. I am not playing psuedo-profound Zen games with you guys. I say things directly and clearly.
  3. @UnbornTao That looks surprisingly good. Like old school, smaller scale Jurassic Park rather than Michael Bay shlock. Jurassic Park is good when it's smaller, not bigger.
  4. Yeah, worked that way for me too.
  5. Because you are God but you have no idea yet what that means. You haven't found God. You just have stories. It's the difference between reading about billionaires and being a billionaire. Because truth is the only thing that matters. It just so happens that truth is God. But if truth were Satan, then Satan would be the only thing worth knowing.
  6. Because in the end God is the highest pursuit and purpose. Nothing else really matters. You can't compare God with shooting golf balls or making money. The promise of God is very enticing beyond material rewards. When all these religions were founded humans were much less materialistic, capitalistic, pop-cultural. There was little to do other than God, family, and farming.
  7. You're asking why religion is popular. Because it takes the highest truth and perverts it into a cartoon fantasy for ignorant people to follow without actually doing the work. Every ego wants to think that whatever fantasy it believes and follows is absolute truth. It's like asking why is pizza and porn popular? Because it feeds the ego's deepest cravings. In the case of religion, it feeds the ego's need to know and to be certain of itself. Ego loves to worship God, but only on its own terms. Rats want to worship rat-God. Rabbits want to worship rabbit-God. Humans want to worship human-God. Also, who do end up realizing God tend to be pretty exceptional people with what seem like magic powers. So it's like watching Tiger Woods play golf. It can look like magic which you cannot do yourself.
  8. The notion that he will get to the bottom of anything is laughable.
  9. Dudes, I am not an app developer. Have some understanding of my limitations.
  10. It's hard to know whether that happens or not.
  11. Post the best survival, bushcraft, and camping videos here.
  12. Some LP course videos are currently not displaying. They will be back within a few days. Thanks for your patience.
  13. Videos are working now. Sorry for the delay.
  14. I have many various folders and playlists on my phone. I have various categories for various purposes and moods. I have way more music than what I shared with you. The best way to organize music is by mood, purpose, genre.
  15. Right now I consider every tech company very over priced. I would buy stuff if the market dropped. I don't want to name specific companies because people will just mindlessly buy stuff without doing their own research and thinking. So I bite my flapping tongue.
  16. I have to be extra careful not to give investment advice. That would be a mistake for me to do. It is not my place to tell you such detailed ways to run your life. It is my place to help you make sense of society in a big picture way. Then based on that sensemaking you can make your own micro management decisions. I tend to be very conservative with my investments because I am paranoid of human mass delusions.
  17. Bernie is one of the few people in Congress fighting for ordinary people and more affordable healthcare. The reality is that if you are in Congress you will get some dirty money to some extent because the system is so corrupt you couldn't get there otherwise. So it's all about relative degrees of corruption, and also about what your worldview is. The problem with RFK is that even if he was not corrupt, his worldview is still corrupt with false ideas of how medicine and science work. A person who means well, but has false beliefs is still very dangerous. Anti-vaxxers have good intentions but their worldview is so out of touch with reality that they hurt people. Similar to Communists.
  18. Hard to say. Doesn't make sense to add fentanyl to ketamine. Ketamine is a cheap chemical sold in large quantities.
