  1. Is that really true though? Be careful that these kind of narratives don't become your own self-constructed illusion. Dealing with people has always been difficult. Nothing new about that. Don't forget to double-check whether your cynicism is actually true.
  2. @Hardkill As I've told you, you gotta put all this stuff into perspective. Be careful getting too wrapped up in political battles. That too becomes self-deception when not properly contextualized. You're gonna have political loses. That's just how society is. You don't win every campaign and things don't go your way half the time. Your worldview needs to account for that. Society develops at a certain rate that you cannot dictate. Just as kids do stupid things. It's like being a parent of immature kids. You can't force maturity on them. And then this becomes a test of your own maturity. How will you behave when others around you act like children or lose their minds? That's the real test. Things are just getting real.
  3. Almost nobody wants to talk to me. And frankly that is it for the best. My ideas are not for podcast chitter-chatter.
  4. No permanent damage. I don't know all the details.
  5. My Dad dodged the draft in Russia for the Afghanistan war by having my Mom soak him in a bathtub full of ice until he got hypothermia.
  6. If you guys are gonna start a thread for every stupid thing Trump says, this will be a very long 4 years.
  7. Of course. Everything stainless steel. Best to avoid them.
  8. Don't act like you are too cool for school.
  9. Obviously it's not needed, but that is how the psychology of desireability works.
  10. Try to fake like you are mentally retarded, drooling in a wheelchair with fake titties and a wig.
  11. It works like an auction. The more people bid the more you wanna bid. And if no one bids then you don't wanna bid even if you thought the item was good. Have you ever bid on an auction where you were the only bidder? Notice how that feels.
  12. It will still be easier and less risky during a ceasefire than during a hot war.
  13. @Thought Art I cook eggs in stainless steel all the time. Easy to make an omelet. I haven't used a nonstick pan in like 10 years.
  14. This, in a nutshell, tells you the level of intelligence of the American voter.
  15. Ceramic pans are not actually made of ceramic. They are just coated with a ceramic chemical coating. That coating chips off and contains God-only-knows what concoction of synthetic chemicals. You are not buying a solid chunk of ceramic. Ceramic pans are just marketing BS.
  16. Curt is too scared to actually comprehend Consciousness. He is afraid of insanity. But insanity is where its at. He wants to put Consciousness in a rationalist scientist box. Which will never work. As I told him, it's all a hallucination. But he doesn't want to know that.
  17. Real morality is about empathy and consciousness.
  18. Ceramic pans are not safe.
  19. All-Clad is great. Calphalon is good. Many other good ones.
  20. No. Divine is when you realize existence is undefinable. Words are being used to point at things beyond words.
  21. I didn't say all forms. I outlined how success can turn into a trap. Whether you fall into that trap is up to you.
  22. It's hard to colaborate with a corrupt authoritarian mafia state which doesn't care about democracy, truth, or human rights.
  23. It's exactly the opposite. These paths are accessible to almost nobody. A gold-plated Rolls Royce is more accessible to people than higher stages of development.
