  1. @annonnimm32 Please stop listening to whatever horseshit conspiratorial news sources you listen to. It's rotting your mind.
  2. An enlightened being is free to do whatever they want.
  3. Society has NEVER EVER been consensual. That's what you misunderstand. You are whining about the inconvenience of isolation when your ancestors had to die in war to defend your ability to exist. You seem to not understand how community works. Your community will force you to do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY for the community's survival. Welcome to Earth, human.
  4. Wrong is invented by your mind. But do keep in mind how you'd feel if someone murdered your mom.
  5. The problem is you guys don't even know what feminism is. Yet you feel confident attacking it.
  6. "I dream of the dragonfly that dreams of me."
  7. A powerful technique they teach life coaches is called Validation. It works like this: Whenever a client introduces some new problem or challenge he's facing, you as the coach hear it out and say: Coach: "How does that make you feel?" Client: Explains feelings Coach: "How do you REALLY feel about?" Client: Explains even deeper feelings Coach: "I hear you say you really feel X because of Y. It's valid to feel that way because..."
  8. Close Encounters of the Zeroth Kind: When one encounters God as oneself
  9. Before anyone criticizes feminism here, please tell us how many books on feminism you've read.
  10. @louhad When it comes to dealing with upset females, always just ask... HOW DO YOU FEEL? HOW DO YOU FEEL? HOW DO YOU FEEL? HOW DO YOU FEEL? HOW DO YOU FEEL? HOW DO YOU FEEL? HOW DO YOU FEEL? And don't try to fix it or change it.
  11. An all-white garden, you could say, eh?
  12. Vaush is definitely over-blowing the whole Nazi/white supremacist/fascist angle. These people are right-wing. But right-wing has plenty of degrees and they should not all be equated with Nazis just because they have nationalist and ethnocentric predilections. Most people in the world are simply not evolved enough yet to be cosmopolitan. That doesn't make them Nazis. Calling such people Nazis makes the situation worse as they don't think of themselves as Nazis and they start to feel righteous in resisting progressives. "How can progressives be right when they keep calling me and my friends Nazis when we clearly aren't? Therefore progressives must be wrong." In his desire to be edgy Vaush is weakening his otherwise solid position.
  13. Like a rain forest. Rain forests have the highest bio-diversity of any biome. https://rainforests.mongabay.com/03-diversity-of-rainforests.html
  14. Conservative logic: One side has neo-nazis, fascists, white nationalists, racists, FoxNews, Brietbart, Trump, etc. but the other side has Chris Cuomo. So can you blame us for choosing the side without Chris Cuomo? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LOL
  15. Libertarianism is good against a severe authoritarian state, perhaps like that in China. But libertarians always act as though the government is oppressing them -- no matter what size government is -- so they cry wolf even about sensible regulations which are not really oppressive. Stuff like Medicare For All and Green New Deal and Civil Rights is not oppressive or authoritarian. It benefits the vast majority of people. Yet libertarians will oppose it. So they become useful idiots for corporations and plutocrats who want as little regulation and public services as possible.
  16. Watch your self-biases! Before posting your opinions on a thing, pause and notice that you hold those opinions simply because they serve your survival.
  17. Paradox only arises when you try to grasp Oneness using a dualistic mind. The problem is, you keep trying to put reality into relative boxes when it is absolutely unboxed. It is the same problem as when you try to map the Earth onto a flat square. The result is always distorted and full of seams which don't exist on the Earth itself.
  18. Here's an example of the common libertarian mistake of thinking that local government is better and less oppressive/corrupt than centralized government. The caller fundamentally misunderstands issues of scale and the fact that local gov is MORE corrupt due to its self-biased nature.
  19. Thou doth protest too much.
  20. Yeah, well... I'm not about to support people who support Trump. Of course on my own. I would deliberately listen to right-wing media when I was a teen (even though I was liberal) in order to understand their perspective. I studied them like apes flinging shit at the zoo.
