@IChoseTheRedPill Be here to learn. There are dynamics at play which you are nowhere near conscious of yet.

@CreamCat In the real world bully rapes your daughter and makes you his slave at gun point. This ain't a game. This is survival.

What might work better for purposes of embodiment is doing more low dose trips more frequently.

Just to clarify, this also might change. There are phases in life when I am more isolated, and other phases when I am more social. And solitude does not literally require a cabin in the woods. Solitude can be had in the middle of a busy city.

But that's what libertarians are opposed to. They call such privileges theft of their taxes. According to them you shouldn't have public schools, roads, healthcare, parks, courts, etc.

@CreamCat What you're overlooking is that privelged people who have never been exploited and have no awareness of their own privelege then end up becoming the exploiters without even realizing it. This is bullying 101. The bully has no sense of what it's like to be on the receiving end of the bullying. It helps to be bullied so you understand what it feels like.

These are legally debatable points. These are mostly policy choices. President gets to make policy decisions. Of course such decisions can cause lots of harm, but that's all part of the job. Don't be so defeatist. Dems have a decent chance of winning back the Senate in 2020. Most voters are not blind Trumpists. Many voters will be upset at Republican Senators in swing states next year. Could be enough to flip the Senate. Another blue wave is likely. Impeachment rallies the progressive base.

Your analysis lacks nuance. Both parties are not at all the same and are not equally corrupt. Also, most politicians care about a lot more than getting reelected. They work hard to create the best government they know how to create. It's easy to make simplistic and naive critiques without having lifted a finger to actually create a good government. You may have escaped the trap of being a Republican, but you've now fallen into another. It takes a lot of careful study and contemplation to start to understand how government and politics work. Careful acting like a know-it-all in this domain. You have years of learning ahead of you. There is a lot more to creating good government than picking one of two sides, or picking no side.

Anaximander, Heraclitus, Plotinus Hegel was a bit later, but had an excellent grasp of it.

Subject/object is a duality. The ultimate nature of reality cannot be understood via that distinction, or any other distinction. See my video: What Is Perception? "Experience" is already a dualistic, biased notion. Strictly speaking experience does not occur because there is no experiencer. There is no reality or world outside of one's imagination. You imagined your birth and you imagine your death.

Causing people suffering is not sufficent grounds for impeachment. It does not matter that the Senate will not remove him. Their votes are good enough to publically shame them. Successful impeachment does not require removal. Tarnishing the entire right-wing brand is good enough. Senators may lose their seats by voting in Trump's favor. The more Republicans debase themselves to defend Trump the better for future progress. They are making fools of themselves.

@Bno We could and should, but the way law works is you need a very clear case to win your case. The Ukraine scandal is clear cut, unlike those other cases. When you try a criminal you need an airtight case. It is okay to get Al Capone on tax evasion when you don't have a smoking gun for murder. Law enforcement is a pragmatic thing. Dems have to be careful not to overreach. Ukriane is crystal clear to anyone with a bit of intellectual integrity. So it's a great thing to impeach him on.

@Scholar I get your point, but to play devil's advocate, what happens when you tell the child sweet lies and treat him as a child? You would have us debase truth to suit ignorant devils? Well, then you get religion.

It doesn't matter what the polls say, impeachment is about enforcement of law. If Trump was not impeached he would have total immunity, which is absurd. All anti-impeachment arguments on political grounds are non-sense. The politics are irrelevant. Clear criminal behavior must be enforced, not when politically convenient or if it moves polls, but always. Law and order. Moving polls is not what impeachment is about.

A wave function is itself a thought. Thought cannot describe thought. Symbolic understanding can only go so far because it is always 2nd order phenomenon. All language and explanation is dualistic. Symbolic understanding can never explain itself and it is always incomplete, a la Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. The only complete thing is Absolute Infinity, which is reality itself, not a map of it.

@thetrut11 You're in over your head on this topic. The key mistake you're making is assuming that by cranking up suffering you can make a thing more real or true. But all this does is make the illusion stronger. No matter how much pain or suffering you are stir up, it does not make it real. By your silly logic, you could show clips of the bloodiest horror movies to argue that movies are real. But just because a movie shows horror doesn't make it any more real. Your selfishness is getting in the way of seeing Infinite Love. Yes, those clips you linked are absolutely Infinite Love. Your ego is just making you judge them because you lack consciousness, because you have not done any serious spiritual work.

In the eyes of God you can do no wrong. In the eyes of humans is a whole nother matter. You will be judged relentlessly by those who have a stake in the game.

There are many different ways it can feel: Like nothing, like becoming the entire universe, like love, like death, like God, awe, horror, like waking up from a dream, like heaven, etc.

Learning that delicate balance requires lots and lots of failure. So just go find more girls to flirt with.

Lol #1 rule with girls: never explicitly tell them about sex. If she's gonna fuck you, she needs to be able to maintain the appearance of being a lady. When you tell her explicitly about sex, you make her feel like a cheap whore, and she will never sleep with you after that. You must play subtle and coy. Instead of "You down to fuck?" make it, "Let's get a coffee." Make things sound as innocent as possible. Rather than telling her, "Let's go have sex" tell her, "Let's go watch cartoons". There is no problem if you wanna fuck. Just don't go telling girls about it. Dating is a game. You gotta flirt and tease your way into her pants. It's very counter-intuitive. One of the best things you can do is act like you are totally disinterested in sex. You can even tell her, "We are definitely not having sex tonight." Then have sex with her 10 minutes later. Get good at playing these mind games.

@Nak Khid Lol

@assx95 Dude, if a girl does not respond to your text within 24hrs, she is gone. She doesn't even know you exist. Move on. A girl who is attracted to you will respond to texts within minutes or hours at most. You cannot attract girls via text. If she's not responsive it's because you failed to build attraction in person and nothing can be done to overcome that. You must reach hook-point in person in order to get responsive texts. Try harder to reach hook-point. It's very noticable when you do. Usually happens within 5-10 mins. You will feel her get enthusiastic about you. She will look in your eyes and be very interested in what you have to say. She will be eager to follow your lead. Do not spend any time thinking about girls who haven't hooked. It will only bring you misery.

Everything didn't come from nothing. Everything is and has always been nothing.
