Humans a pretty limited in how much they can morph physical reality with their mind.

He is good at leading technology teams. Leadership is not about engineering or coding. It's about leadership. You don't have to like Musk to recognize that he's a strong and talented leader. The Twitter stuff is just a distraction. When you are worth $200 billion, you too can afford a distraction. Although it's clear by his own admissions that he is regretting it.

If you want to read philosophy, read Ken Wilber or Peter Ralston. It will be a 100x better use of your time.

He is not qualified to run this government. He would make lots of bad oddball decisions.

Reality is a Mind that dreams/imagines. When you say something is "real", what you mean is, it's imagined by you so deeply that you are not even aware of how it is imagined. And so you call that "real". Whereas if you become aware of how something is imagined, you call it unreal. You have to realize that this is all a trick of the mind. There is no ground for the distinction between real and imaginary. Because at root all there is, is Mind. The key is to drop the idea that there exists anything outside of imagination, by noticing that everything is Mind. How do you know? Consciousness. The only way anything is known. The only solution here is more consciousness, and no other way will work.

There is truth in mathematics but you have to understand what kind of truth it is. It is conceptual in nature. You have to consider its limits, context, and what you're using it for. You have to be careful about what you think it means.

If there is chemistry, filming it will only detract from it.

Trump doesn't work for Putin, Trump just resonates with authoritarians and dictators because that is his fantasy to be one.

Homemade porn is so bad. Why would anyone want it?

Anyone who doesn't immediately recognize Trump as a con-artist is deeply compromised in either intelligence or integrity.

That's not how it works.

Shameless

Tucker is so full of shit. He always has been.

Vervaeke offers some good insight. It's not a deep understanding of God/Love/Consciousness. You can still learn a lot from him in the relative domain.

Love is the consciousness of metaphysical oneness. When your mind comes to recognize two distinct things as being identical.

When I say Love I am not talking what humans call "love", I am talking metaphysics.

What is there to like? Kant is grossly overrated. You can study him for years and you will have no better understanding of reality. In fact, your understanding will worsen.

If that's the case he's getting paid for it. They pay him not to work.

Definitely don't keep a job just because you want to maintain the appearance of being "employed". If you can make money on your own, and you love working for yourself, then do that. However, remember, you will still be working with clients who will boss you around perhaps even worse. Dealing with clients can be a bitch. But even so, I suggest you stay at your current job for at least a few months and gain as much experience as possible. A new job takes time to get used to. You might grow to like it. Or at the least you will definitively learn that having a 9-5 job is just not for you, and then you can move on without any guilt or regret.

Personally I would not be happy living broke. That doesn't suit my temperament.

Depends on how you define socialism. Soviet-style socialism will never work. Something akin to the Nordic model already works. You could create a more extreme form of the Nordic model in the future. Maybe it could work if the culture and populace is very developed. Then again, that might not even be a good system. At some point too much pampering by the state will become counter-productive and make people weak and lazy.

Be careful with the hate. We don't condone that here.

That's possible. I call that the Hippie Way. Plenty of spiritual people are broke. It's a matter of temperament. Some people are okay with being broke.

No. What I mean is, so-called enlightened people do no understand that their enlightenment is a dream and that they are not seriously conscious. They actually think they've achieved something with enlightenment.
