How about your add more substance to your posts? Lazy posts don't inspire quality replies.

Yes, he is. Which is why I prefer Bernie. Compromising with ideologues doesn't work so well. That's the beauty of Sanders, he will lead a populist revolution to publicly shame them and shift our entire culture. That's what's really needed. No progressive laws are gonna pass a Republican controlled Senate anyway. Republicans are not going to let Yang do anything and they will demonize him as a socialist. Meeting them half-way is what we've been doing for the last 40 years. Something new is needed. Also, your analogy between Malcolm X:Bernie, MLK:Yang is not right. MLK was a radical progressive socialist. So if anything Bernie is like MLK. Malcolm X was a militant ideologue which is not analogous to Bernie. Bernie is leading a progressive social movement just like MLK. https://mlkglobal.org/2017/11/23/martin-luther-king-on-capitalism-in-his-own-words/ YangGang is Diet MLK

To argue against nonsense is to give it too much credit. Trump will lose in a landslide. That's my prediction. See you Nov 2020 for my "I told ya so" The only reason Trump won was because people didn't research his past and they didn't know what a monster he was. But now it's all out in the open, with more to come before 2020. Or maybe I'm wrong

Sounds like a communist

I have. It's actually possible to zoom in with consciousness to the atomic level. But it's not a visual zoom. It's a consciousness zoom. Since atoms are imaginary anyhow, you don't need to zoom into them visually. As always, psychedelics help. A lot.

How else could "reality" come to be but through deception and illusion? God had to pull himself out of his own ass. Quite the magic trick

If you want to start something like a Spiritual Art Mega-Thread, we could do that. But an art sub-forum doesn't make sense for this forum.

Being successful and a leader in your field opens a lot of doors and opportunities. Once you get really good in your field and people start to know about you, women will naturally come your way. This is mostly because you have become more visible, not because they want your money. But still, I wouldn't rely on this strategy exclusively. If you're a computer nerd working in your basement 12 hours a day, no women will ever find you no matter how good you are. You gotta start being visible publicly. The key is being more social. And getting good in your field can help you to increase your socialness. Why do rockstars get laid every night? Because they are visible to 10,000 people every night. Not because there's anything special about playing music. Although girls love music because it boosts their emotional state, so that does help. Music is like a drug. Or, you could just increase your socialness by going out every night and being social. Waiting for women to come to you is indirect.

@TheAvatarState I have known about Yang's long policy list for a long time. But I feel he's way too stuck on UBI as his signature policy to the point to being a one-note candidate. Like I said, a candidate has to be evaluated holistically, taking into account every thing, including their experience with politics and government. Yang's biggest upside, in my mind, is his authenticity. But I don't consider his policies progressive enough. UBI could easily be dismantled by conservatives in the future and hurt the welfare state. Of course you're welcome to vote for whoever you like best. I got nothing against Yang. He's a cool guy and if he wins I will vote for him.

Alien reads this and be like: "Hold my beer."

@dimitri It's even trickier than you imagine. Non-existence isn't real, it is imaginary! There is only existence. Existence is an Absolute and has no opposite. A non-existent object is actually an existent object in your imagination. But you are misunderstanding that object's true nature. You take it as really non-existent when it is actually existent as a thought. Your mind confuses thoughts and objects. For example, you confuse thoughts of your mother for your mother. The kicker is, if you didn't create this confusion you couldn't have a mother. Since a mother is a thought, not an object. So how are you gonna escape this confusion? Escaping it would mean the collapse of your entire reality. Can you stomach that?

Maybe it's cause men are behaving like juvenile Red Pill assholes?

We have had decades of inaction. Sanders is just the kick in the ass we need. Of course he won't be able to pass everything he wants. But he will lead a movement that will shift the overtone window seriously left, which is what we have been lacking for 50 years. Sanders could be the next FDR. If only he was younger. Working class people, even Republicans will like Bernie as he pushes against elites. The ones who hate Bernie are mostly elites. A working class person is not going to hate Bernie. FDR was the most popular president of all time. But the elites hated him. I predict a similar sitation if Bernie wins. Of course hardcore conservatives will demonize him. But they demonized Obama, so there is no pleasing them. Fox News will demonize no matter who the Democratic president is.

@Joker_Theory Do you really understand? Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like you are parroting words you heard.

It's very simple: is your birth happening right now? No? Then you are imagining it. If you object, "Yeah, but at one time it really was happening", just notice that you are imagining that too. You cannot ever escape imagination. If a thing is not being imagined right now, it doesn't exist. It's very simple. You just don't want to accept it because you want things to be "real".

Everything is imaginary, including brains, atoms, planets, science, logic, and your life. Brains seem to exist from your POV because that is what you're stuck imagining without being aware that you are imagining it. Consciousness imagines a brain. Your entire paradigm is backwards.

You don't need to zoom into it. It is already nothing as it is. Form is nothing. Don't go hunting for nothing. Nothing is everywhere. You are like a fish hunting for water. BTW, space is not nothing, it is something. But since something is ultimately nothing, space is also nothing.

How anything?

Sanders is the more progressive candidate with the most serious proposals that challenge the status quo.

Is anyone really confused that religion and spirituality are closely related topics? A bigger problem is how seldom people see the similarity between religion and science.

This was addressed in my videos: Spiral Dynamics - Important Nuances Spiral Dynamics - Areas of Application

@andyjohnsonman You're not quite appreciating how the English language works. We have many words for everything, and each one has slight nuances. Nuance is important. To call Actualized.org religion would be inappropriate. To call it spirituality is more appropriate, although limited.

Online dating requires above average looks, REALLY good professional profile photos (no selfies), and massive volume. Online dating requires serious work. You don't just put up a profile and start getting dates. You gotta game it more than real life. Online girls are screening you almost entirely on looks because they have nothing else to go by. Your personality has no chance to charm them. In real life you can hit much higher outside your league with charm and boldness. This cannot be done online. The girl has to decide whether she will sleep with you purely based on your profile photo in 1 second. If you're turning online because you're too lazy to do it in real life, chances are your results will be bad. Laziness is not a viable strategy for finding attractive females. If you have a classically handsome appearance, you can do well online. If not...

Lol

The thing is, there's much more to reforming government than a single proposal like UBI. UBI vs jobs guarantee is like 7th on the list of important issues. Be careful about turning into a single-issue voter. A politician must considered holistically, not on the basis of one cool proposal.
