  1. What if you had an insight into the nature of insight?
  2. I only have one question for him. During the peak of Covid, would he have funded rapid vaccine development and deployment, and told people to take it, and taken it himself as the leader? If the answer is no, I have no interest in voting for him. The reason I oppose him is because I strongly suspect the answer to that question is NO. Not even Trump was that irresponsible. I am getting really sick of these Greens who want to save the world but don't have enough common sense to do the basic things that people require for survival. Leading a country requires a keen pragmatism which Greens lack. Saving the world is extremely counter-intuitive. Good intentions and compassion are NOT enough.
  3. Exactly! Adults should not trip next to children
  4. If I want magick I play Skyrim.
  5. You gotta appreciate how few humans truly care about solving the question of reality. Virtually no one. Not even those nondual rats. And certainly none of those science rats. Me saying so makes people very offended. But hey, someone has to enforce some intellectual rigor on mankind. If someone wants to interview me, it will only happen if I am allowed to challenge their whole way of existing.
  6. The one decent Republican. Who isn't even American. Republicans are truly a disgrace. Something about being born American tends to make people uniquely stupid on politics. For any non-American it's so obvious that Republicans are clowns.
  7. He is censored for good reason, because he spreads vaccine nonsense.
  8. A handful of times. My trips are too deep to trip with people. Even if I have a girlfriend around, I trip seperately from her.
  9. It's an aquired taste
  10. If they are real, they've been coming for thousands of years.
  11. I privately told Curt to drop his fucking games and allow me to guide him to Awakening. I don't think he appreciated it. What I teach, and what he's doing -- his little project -- are very different things.
  12. I don't think he wants to.
  13. I have not done it again. Mostly because I feel it is dangerous without a trip sitter. And yes, it is terrifying. So I'm not really looking forward to doing it again. But at some point I will.
  14. I'm very busy at the moment so I may not respond as promptly as you might need. So make sure if you have urgent needs you find some help for that elsewhere. Reach out to folks on the forum. They would love to help you.
  15. I'll take another look at it. Thanks
  16. Ya'll are probably starting to hear the news trickle in about the deadly mass shooting which took place last night in Las Vegas. It happened about 2 miles from where I live, actually. Since ya'll know I'm from Vegas, there will be a lot of folks sending me messages and asking questions. No need. I'm perfectly fine. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for 450+ others folks today in Las Vegas. A sad day for Las Vegas, America, and mankind. As a species, we still have a lot of growing up to do. The best response to low-consciousness behavior like this is self-reflection and awareness. As you watch the videos and the news, stay very mindful of your own judgments, emotions, and reactions. Notice how your mind twists the news to justify whatever narrative, belief system, or agenda you have as a self. Try to stay conscious rather than reacting, justifying, emoting, finger-pointing, or advancing some kind of political agenda. Notice how the mind uses tragedy to sneakily serve its own needs. Just be mindful of whatever is happening as it happens, and notice the difference between simple awareness vs monkey-mind reactivity. Instead of blaming people, try to put yourself in the shoes of the victims, but also the victimizer. See how long you can maintain your mindfulness. Which, BTW, should not be interpreted as a suggestion to suppress your emotions. Mindfulness is the opposite of suppression: it's a careful, precise, real-time observation of the monkey-mind at work. And come visit Las Vegas sometime. It's still a great town.
  17. Haha. If that were true I'd be getting laid a lot more than I am. Women absolutely love immature men. Like flies on shit.
  18. There's not really a good way of contacting him.
  19. What I did if followed my passion, BUT I was also very practical and knew I needed to develop concrete career plans. So I switched to philosophy, my passion, but I also resolved to develop my game design portfolio and technical skills so I could be hired as a game designer. Which I was. You need BOTH passion and practicality. Be practical about your passions. Like, if you are gonna study film, have a concrete career plan in mind. Like develop the technical skills of a filmmaker or screenwriter. No one will mock you if they see you are developing serious technical skill in a craft like writing, art, filmmaking, etc. You can't just rely on a diploma to get you a career. A diploma means shit. You need to make serious, realistic career plans on your own, outside university work.
  20. I have an old blog post that lists some of the best sources I found.
  21. I have messaged him. To my knowledge he never responded.
