I'm not chasing for a big audience. Mostly my audience reduced because YouTube changed their algorithms so much that they cut my new subscribers down from 20,000/mo at the peak down to basically 1000/mo now. That's just because Google is chasing profit maximization and my videos will never be able to compete with popular clickbait. YouTube cut my exposure by something like 20x-50x since I started. I was expecting this. Much of my success was based on the fact that I was on YouTube very early, before it got flooded with grifters and clickbaiters. My work is meant to be niche.

It's not supposed to cure a MAGA voter. It's supposed to shape the next generation of thinkers. The MAGA voter is already dead to me. He's not my audience.

@Tristan12 Please be careful man. You're worrying me. You need to seek outside help for your situation. This psychedelic path will easily turn into an addiction here.

The problem is that Trump 2.0 is another beast. They will eliminate all checks and balances so that by 2028 it won't be clear what remains of democracy. At this point the only thing stopping them from installing a dictatorship is themselves. There are no checks at all any more. The only question now is how low will they go? What is their personal bottom? Are they okay with shooting protestors? Are they okay with imprisoning democrats?

Actualized.org That's the gap my life's work is intended to fill.

Yes and yes.

Europe understands fascism first-hand. America does not. Historical memory is a big deal. Don't take it for granted.

This is just a silly comparison. Iraq didn't have nukes, the claim was they were trying to develop them. Which is a great time to invade: Before they get them.

There can be Purple marbling in a Blue steak. A steak is not 100% red meat.

In the end Trump cannot escape responsibility for the clusterfuck he can't help but create. Bullshitting only goes so far. People will eventually feel the economic pain personally. That's where the train hits the wall. You can bullshit people all day long about wokeness and ideology, you cannot bullshit them about egg prices and lack of paychecks.

Ah, I figured out the problem. You gotta click it with your dick to bypass the logic circuit. 53ms

That's an easy bluff to call. If Trump cancels SS payments there will be riots at the White House. I hope he cancels them. But he's too chicken-shit to do it.

Purple doesn't have advanced scientific civilization. Purple is too tribal and irrational to build a strong nation-state. Rationality is necessary to build large states. And yes, Nazis are rational, just in a twisted way.

Always has been

What is the alternative? To act like this work isn't difficult? The Buddha's core teach was that all of life is suffering. No one whines about the Buddha. But when I say this work is hard, then people somehow make it about me. It's not about me. You guys have no idea yet what degree of suffering exists in the world. You live in a cocoon of comfort and spiritual fantasy. Life is harder than anything I say. You are underestimating the harshness of life. I am not overestimating it. What is truly arrogant is thinking life should be easy. The reason I didn't respond to his points is because he has been on this forum for years, always stubborn and closedminded, never willing to learn from the good advice given to him. Always with a negative attitude, insisting on his own bad ideas. I tried to help him many times with genuine advice, and he never accepted nor appreciated it. So I will not waste any more of my time responding to him. Making this about me it the final straw. Do not waste and abuse my time here. I pour so much of my energy here giving serious, genuine advice. If you guys abuse it and then gaslight me for it, I will start banning such people. And when you post your final fuck-you letter here to justify yourself, I will not even waste my time reading it, never mind responding to it. If you do not want to do hardcore difficult work, you should not be speaking to me. You should be working so hard at developing yourself that you come here crying how difficult it is.

Why am I so slow?? 283

And Nazis were into mysticism and esoteric arts. It's all part of their power fantasy of being some special race. It should be called ethno-narcissism.

That's exactly low spiritual advancement. Most spirituality is very low in practice because it's just more group-think.

There is no critical thinking in these people. It's about making powerful friends for them. These channels are platforms for personal power through fame, masquerading as truth-seeking.

He's a Zionist propagandist.

The problem with takes like this is that they show such a tiny clip of who a person is. It's easy to speak of meditation for a few minutes and then plan a genocide the next day using whatever twisted logic. Most politician sound likeable and reasonable in short PR interviews like this. You have to judge politicians by their actions and policies. If you sit down with Hitler and ask him about vegetarianism and long walks in the nature, he could probably give you a nice talk about it. Lex does not ask any politician serious, difficult questions. He tries to befriend power, wealth, and fame.

New level of delusion unlocked, haha.

That is irrelevant to spiritual work. Suit yourself.

Enough.

You can. By doing the work. That is wrong. Isn't it obvious that the lazy and unserious will never actualize these teachings?
