Because my concern is to help you avoid getting your mind stuck at Green. I don't want you to become the next Cenk/Ana/Hasan. I'm not really interested in politics. I'm interested in taking your mind to higher levels of understanding. So I have a very different agenda than anyone in the political domain. As much as I comment on politics my work is not political. That's why it's powerful.

I don't see that happening unless maybe a nuclear war.

@Daniel Balan Nationalism is a Blue phenomena, not a Purple one. Purple is tribal and clanish. Purple does not have a concept of "nation" or even "race" because it is too tribal.

Cars crash. That's just baked in the cake of what cars are. Car AI will eventually save more lives than it kills so this is not a serious issue. If you don't want to take the risk then don't drive using AI. If you use auto-pilot you know the risks.

I explain this difference as the difference between Blue and Orange. Nazi Germany was Blue-Red and current America is Orange-Blue. Blue is a collectivist stage and Orange is an individualist/libertarian stage. This is why capitalism will manifest differently at these stages. I see no risk of America actually becoming a Christian nationalist state. That would be too unpopular and too low in development. America is not going back to solid Blue. But America can go hyper toxic Orange. Which is where we are headed now. The real danger is not a Christian theocracy but a hyper-capitalist oligarchic technocratic dystopia.

Calling Nazism Purple is a big mistake in my opinion.

What is the difference?

I say that voters are ignorant.

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.
