Frankly, the way all these fights break out is when two fat egos clash and neither one wants to step away. The best way to win a fight is to just not bring your ego into a situation so no fight materializes. When it comes to fighting, ego is the biggest trap.

It is not permanent.

Those were shameless Republicans from what I saw. Birds of a feather flock together. But yeah, the US foreign policy deep state is real. It does its thing regardless of which party or Pres happens to be in power. There is extremely deep group-think when it comes to US intelligence and military stuff. There is no changing their minds.

Stab him in the balls it is.

@What Am I That's not merely a matter of discomfort. You could seriously injure your brain if you keep doing that. Pay attention to the signals your body is sending you. A good solution is to change to a different chemical which doesn't cause you such obvious pain. Ketamine is not a very pure or healthy chemical to begin with.

Certainly explore it, but beware the trap of regarding all your fears as illusory. Some of your fears are keeping you alive and healthy.

The most effective martial art is to kick a guy in the balls.

By popular demand, my new course will include 5hrs of screaming like a maniac. Saves me from actually developing intelligent content.

Good

Of course you can do it. But it is not wise to judge the necessity of a thing by its popularity.

Doesn't surprise me. It's more of a systemic issue.

Yes, but humans don't really get that and can't really live it.

Good for you. You have some integrity.

At this point it certainly won't change Hamas behavior, however, it will create a pathway to a peace settlement longer term. There is a larger issue at stake here than simply getting Hamas to stop attacking. You have to pacify the Palestinian people and give them a pathway to peace and prosperity. The way to deal with Hamas is simply by erecting better defenses. Which you'll have to do anyway from all the bombing.

I am well aware of Martin's philosophy. I think it's a bit reckless and unnecessary, but ultimately it's a matter of style. I literally don't remember a single hug, but I had a pretty good childhood for sure. Do what you gotta do.

Interesting. Didn't know anyone still cared about him. He was pretty remarkable as a human.

Be careful with this freedom value. It's easy to turn freedom into a fantasy. Real freedom is different from what humans usually call freedom.

But Gaza is not allowed statehood status. Just last week there was a UN vote to recognize Palestine as a state and the Israeli government went ape-shit, calling the vote a travesty and banning EU diplomats. With that kind of approach, of course terrorists will keep attacking you. It's like yanking on a crocodile's tail. This has been going on for decades.

Not personal development. But my pursuit of truth, yes.

Don't wish harm on others. This is not the way.

Yeah, but be careful. I don't suggest you go too deep into that. I was just trying to open your minds, not to turn you into demons.

Osho was pretty popular. But the most popular stuff is never the best.

That's not interesting. No The point is that if you can imagine it deeply enough, Consciousness can imagine it even more. Somewhere inside God's Mind, the mind of a demon exists. I am not saying it exists in the human domain. God is all possible minds. Consider the possibility that the only thing that prevents you from experiencing being a demon is your lack of imagination.

Nothing hilarous about it. You get to set your own point. I set my point as understanding. I don't care about your bliss. If you care about it, good for you. But don't tell me what I care about. Eventually you will realize that all the bliss in the world still left gaps in your understanding.

@Water by the River It is possible to seek spiritual pleasure. And what I said is that I don't promote that. I don't regard you as seeking spiritual pleasure. Bliss could refer to pleasure, or maybe not. People use words in different ways.
