Exactly. In practice all these anti-mainstream people are just aiming to become the new elites without even realizing it. Bashing elites is very convenient for those who want to take their place.

Mainstream media simply reflects how the society is actually run, as opposed to fantasies of how it ought to be. You are never getting rid of elites or hierarchy. Never. If you think you are you are just ignorant of how society works. If you want to improve the status quo first you must understand it clearly. You can't just assume that your utopian ideals will work. What you see with progressives and leftists is this constant struggle and denial that their ideas are unfeasible. Which is why they aren't already enacted. Progressives want the world to be better but their minds are totally underequipped to face the realities of the world. The world is not better for very deep reasons, not shallow ones.

By it's very nature a totalitarian dicatorship can appear like "socialism" because it is a government that seeks to control everything and everyone top-down. This is always justified as "for the good of the people" and hence has a "socialist" vibe. Rather than taking their self-professed labels at face value you should just look at whether the regime is dictatorial or democractic. The problem isn't the socialism, it's the top-down dictating. Rather than asking, Is it capitalism or socialism?, first ask, Is it dicatatorial or genuinely democractic?

Inflation has come down across the world after Covid. Be careful simplistically attributing such things to individual people or policies.

So many people have brainwashed themselves to hate the mainstream that their minds are now rotted. That's what happens when you spend 10-15 years constantly criticizing mainstream media. What you get isn't better, it's worse.

It's not strictly necessary but struggling through failure is usually a big part of developing anything. Much of learning is just trial and error. It's hard to say how exactly to avoid it since corruption takes many subtle forms. Mostly by paying attention to fundamentals like consciousness work, epistemology, contemplation, truth. Being very diligent about truth is the foundation for seeing corruption.

This is like asking for an option to ignore the police.

Same as yours.

Stainless is just more versitile and less weirdness. You're not gonna boil rice or whatever in cast iron.

Death for thee but not for me.

No. There a hundreds of politicians better than Trump. I am not needed in that arena. Nope. Just a silly human notion. That's an illusion. I could die tomorrow and it wouldn't make any difference. If you are intelligent you understand the world will go on just fine without you, as it has always done.

It depends on what you cook. Cooking a steak on stainless is easy without any oil at all. Other things are harder.

The government is incapable of handling the levels of truth and consciousness that the most conscious people would bring. What the government needs is not the most conscious people, but people who are slightly more conscious than average. That's what Bernie is. Government doesn't need ideas which are 300 years ahead of their time. It needs ideas which are 10-20 years ahead. As you can see with recent developments, people are nowhere ready for serious progressive ideas. They need something much less developed. The best quantum physics profressor is lost on middle school children. It's not what they need. My work is not what most people need.

Tesla crashes are not a big deal. All models of cars crash. Eventually Tesla autopilot will be safer than human drivers.

I would certainly decline. I'm not gonna degrade myself to play politics. You can argue someone has to do it, but that doesn't mean me.

It just doesn't work like that. This is a naive and shallow way of understanding the issue.

I got the perfect example for ya: One time, Obama was doing a public fundraiser for his reelection campaign. He was meeting with donors and shaking their hands. A donor walked up to shake his hand and get a photo. The donor told him: "Here's a check for $100k. Can I tell everyone that I knew you back in college?" Obama looked at him and said, "I tell you what, make that $200k and you can tell them that we knew each other back in middle school."

Are you kidding? Of course there are. You gotta be seriously deluded to even want the job. If you actually valued truth you would never apply for that job.

Is there anything more American than corrupting your government with your obcene profits?

No. It's not needed. You can easily clean a pan in 1 minute by hand. Just pour some water into it and let it stand a bit.

Not true at all. Twitter/X is an unprofitable shitshow, bleeding people to Threads and Bluesky. Entrusting AI to Musk is foolish. He cannot even run Twitter without injecting it with his silly biases. Twitter is less truthful than before he took it over. Because he has no understanding of what truth requires. His notion of truth is just whatever serves his power.

I don't have any experience with them so cannot say. Stainless steel handles all my needs. If debris sticks just soak them with some water overnight. It all comes off the next day. Basically, expecting a perfectly stick-less pan is a fantasy. You shouldn't expect that. I don't like seasoning pans because it's a hassle and feels quite limiting. I like to be able to soak and wash my pans so they are clean.

In a healthy, developed society corporations would place the betterment of mankind as their highest priority and profit as secondary. Until that happens society will be sick and corrupt.
