No. You try to make it conscious.

Don't tempt these animals.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

@Natasha Tori Maru You are wonderful.

Of course. Contemplate why you feel anything negative ever. What is the purpose?

All negative emotional reactions are selfishness. Why else would you have them?

And that is selfishness.

Stop it! You guys are clueless how to understand women.

Don't go overboard. Don't make women feel unwelcome here. Be mindful that women participate here too.

Just don't overlook that you're also that way. I am too.

There is the Lesser Jihad, the Greater Jihad, and now the Panty Jihad.

This is like a monkey's paw wish.

@Natasha Tori Maru We will liberate one lady at a time of her bra and panties. What don't you understand about this?

I don't think that's true.

Nah, you can do better than that. And watch out for the mentally ill ones.

@Inliytened1 You can find reasonably developed and mature people. Not nondual lords, but just normal Green mature folk, which is mostly good enough.

Sure, tolerance increases but living to tolerate someone who is fundamentally not aligned with your values is a meaningless victory and of little use to the world. It's like asking a university professor to spend a year in 1st grade. Can he do it and tolerate it? Sure. But what does this prove and what purpose does it serve?

Capitalism is really defined by the modern banking and stock market systems. Banks generate loans (capital) for corporations. And corporate stock is traded publically. That's what techncially distinguishes capitalism from old fashioned barter. Truly nothing better than this system has yet been invented. Marxists have no clue how to replace this system with something better.

Very practically, your parents will not have grown one inch but you are this Self-Actualized Giga-Chad, and that combination is oil and water. It is a delusion to believe that enlightenment will make you compatible with low consciousness people. This is a spiritual fantasy. You can stomach low consciousness people for a while but it gets old quickly and it serves no useful purpose. They will try to drag you down to their level because they don't know any other way, and to you that low level should be unacceptable. You might as well say, "Go live in prison for a week." Yeah, you will get abused. What do you expect would happen? You expect them to recoginize you as Jesus? No.

Welcome

User @outlandish suggested we start a 5-meo mega-thread, as people seem to have lots of general questions about it. You can still create your own individual threads about 5-meo, and trip reports shouldn't be posted in this thread, but otherwise, consider this the place for general 5-meo discussion. Here's a link to Erowid's 5-MeO-DMT Vault, which has a lot of basic information. Note: Do not ask questions here about how to source psychedelics. That is against our Forum Guidelines, so it will be deleted.

Everything is made in China these days.

The blog is finally fixed. New stuff posted. It will be regularly updated like the good ol days. Sorry for the long delay.

@Thought Art Take a dozen more looks.
