  1. @De Sade You're full of bias, that's how. You couldn't treat things the same if there was a gun pointed at your head.
  2. Don't worry guys, Musk is here to save the day. He will take as many rapists as he can on X. "X, where rapists feel at home."
  3. In the end government will have to set up standards for the entire social media space. Right now we are still in the wild west days where anything goes. This is how the legal system got established in the first place. People were out there raping each other and accusing each other of rape, long before there were courts. And justice was shabby until someone set up a court with a legal process. Now we gotta do it all over again for the virtual world.
  4. Open your mind to the possibility that there exists a higher form of consciousness that makes enlightenment seem like child's play. That's it. I'm leaving here for good. Good God what a quagmire.
  5. I admit, that is a good argument. However, YouTube also has to consider the feelings of its creators and what they consider to be fair or not. If creators feel censored or unfairly treated then they might whine to politicians who then start to regulate YouTube and Google as companies.
  6. This was exactly didactic rudeness because the point was to communicate to you guys here the stakes of this work. If you don't do this work carefully and properly you will end up an enlightened idiot. I'm not trying to be a jerk here for no reason. There are stakes here which are being overlooked.
  7. Enlightenment is imagined by higher Consciousness. It's like two men stranded in the desert for days without water. One man asks the other, "Do you have water?" The other replies, "I have nothing." Then a few days later the man catches him taking a sip from a big bottle of water and he screams: "What?!!! You were drinking water all this time?!!! You told me you hand nothing!" The other man calmly replies, "I didn't want to entice you. What you call water I call nothing."
  8. I wasn't addressing Brendon, I was addressing people here who are defending Ralston's ideas on Love. You wanna follow Ralston? You will end up like Brendon.
  9. You contradict yourself. You just said above that love was so obvious to you that you didn't even need to have an awakening into it. You made Love seem trivial. Now you make it seem epic. This is confusing students.
  10. Consider the possibility that it can be, because your idea of enlightenment is childishly simplistic. Sure. Go make your own assessments. Or maybe you're just wrong. Don't take my word for it. Feel free to ask him yourself. Oh, I'm saying something much more radical than that. I reject the entire notion of enlightenment. So I'm not saying one has to realize love or not. I'm saying that the whole thing is a low level of consciousness. Consider that there are realizations of Love so deep that you cannot imagine them yet.
  11. No idea. Love? Probably none. Solipsism, certainly. Which is why I took down that video. Some are, some aren't. It's hard to measure such things. That's fair. But in this case my point was very specific. Ralston's apprentice claims to be "enlightened" by your and Ralston's definitions. However, he doesn't know what Love is. How can this be? And I give fairly straightforward answers about what psychedelic experiences are and how they work. Of course that doesn't mean people will have an easy time integrating or embodying them. Yes, psychedelics will screw with your mind. But they can also take you to insane levels of understanding yourself and reality. I'm not that relevant to the process. In a sense, the psychedelic is your teacher, not me. Which is what makes psychedelics superior to all human teachings. If you are smart you will use psychedelics to replace me as your teacher. Of course, be warned, the higher you go in consciousness the more unstable your mind will become. This level of instability is not reached via any other spiritual techniques because no other spiritual technique grants you such high consciousness. So don't bite off more than you can handle.
  12. In truth, YT's policy relates to public pressure and outrage. That is their one ultimate unstated policy: don't piss off the mob too much or you get canned. But this opens the door for manipulation. This is why the court system does not work based off mob rule. Court decisions are often not what the mob wants because justice requires careful evaluation of evidence. The evidence against Brand has not yet been carefully evaluated.
  13. @Someone here I am not rude out of thin air, but after months and years of putting up nonsense. You guys need to get serious. You are making poor arguments and getting lost in the same self-deceptions over and over again. You should notice that I use a variety of methods on you. I use logic, I use humor, I use patient explanation, and when all that fails I get rude with you. And finally I ban you. This is the ladder of escalation.
  14. But we don't know that he's a rapist yet. And if it is YT's policy that rapists are not allowed to be YouTubers, then they should state so explicitly in their terms of service. Imagine if you went to a grocery store and they told you: "Sorry, you raped someone 15 years ago, so no food for you." The reason we have a legal system is to punish crime so that private businesses don't have to. If Brand raped someone, let him go to prison. But nowhere is it written that the punishment for rape involves losing your YouTube channel. What YouTube should police is the content of videos posted on YouTube, not outside behavior. If Brand was promoting rape on YouTube, then YT should rightly ban him. But he's not even close to doing that. This alleged rape occurred before YT even existed as a platform.
  15. No they won't. You are speaking garbage. Ralston's idiot enlightened apprentice, Brendon Lea, has no idea what Love is. And that's because all he does is blindly follow Ralston's every word. Which does not include Love.
  16. TRUTH = LOVE is one of the most shocking and important realizations I've ever had. And if I had taken Ralston's ideas on love seriously I would have never had this realization. Ralston is in effect gaslighting his students about Love.
