  1. The issue is that his dislike will prevent him from ever truly understanding the thing he dislikes. Disliking a thing before understanding it, is backwards.
  2. It gives me some of highest and most stable consciousness of God. Hours of stability and clarity. Almost no psychedelic is that stable for me. Finding a stable, deep psychedelic that is clear and lasts a long time is hard. Most psychedelics are pretty chaotic, wavy, weird, inconsistent.
  3. Not really. We don't really care about your preferences. This issue is about understanding. Bias is a lack of understanding. A bias towards women means that women are not being understood accurately, for themselves. Regardless of your personal preferences, you should be interested in understanding women accurately, for themselves, not for you. This is not about whether you like strawberries, but about whether you even understand what a strawberry is. Eating and liking strawberries is different from understanding them.
  4. @Alexop You are right that we cannot be 100% sure about an unobserved thing. But of course if 10,000 serious people say they witnessed a thing, we must take that claim seriously. That doesn't mean we believe it. It just means we start to consider that scenario seriously, and start looking for more evidence. The notion that all UFO talk is just a hoax or delusion really strains credulity. At some point, denying all the witnesses becomes more outlandish than just accepting that aliens could be flying around Earth. Do we know for sure that OJ Simpson killed his wife? No. But there is enough evidence there that I would be comfortable convicting him. Could I be wrong? Yes. But so could the skeptics. At the end of the day, we all have to place our bets. My bet is on aliens.
  5. You don't need to think it, you will suffer enormously just from being alive.
  6. Weed is much stronger for me if I don't use it for a long time. Weed def has some tolerance build-up. If I don't use weed for a year, it will be insanely strong. Even just one puff.
  7. There is just too many eyewitness reports of UFO craft, not just from fools, but from pilots, military, sailors, scientists, etc. The reports are too similar and too numerous to all be a delusion or fantasy. There is something there. Not necessarily alien bodies, but some kind of non-human technology. Roswell is also clearly some kind of cover-up. Hot air balloon my ass. If Roswell was a hot air balloon, then I have a unicorn to sell you. Read the book on Roswell. Roswell alone is damning enough.
  8. The most popular books
  9. Your view of women is not even-handed, not charitable, does not truly understand or even care to understand their point of view. You have your view and you want to express your view, rather than trying to actually understand women for themselves. You are seeing women FOR YOU, not FOR THEMSELVES. That's an epistemic mistake born out of self-bias. You have some kind of agenda that women are filtered through. That's what I see.
  10. @AION You really think I cannot see when someone is biased about women? That's very easy to see.
  11. I do not take anyone's predictions of the future seriously. It's guesswork. The future is fundamentally unknown. Making absolutist claims about the future is what fools do. And believing absolutist predictions is what fools do. The correct answer is that we don't know what will happen. The issue is not that Bashar is a fraud, the issue is, why do you think it's right to believe him? Don't blame him, look at why you are abandoning epistemic responsibility. Some bald dude speaks confidently so now epistemic responsibility flies out the window?
  12. Aliens know that's BS. Humans' plate is way too full for alien contact. I see no reason why aliens would want to disclose themselves to an asshole like Trump and this gang of buffoons.
  13. I will be hiring someone to add features to my blog. I agree it needs better navigation and organization. That upgrade is planned. But I am not moving to a new platform like Reddit. Thanks for the feedback.
  14. I will keep my billions to myself. Seeing as how everyone wants to eat the rich these days.
  15. If you disagree with being called a narcissist, that definitely means you're a narcissist. And if a witch screams after we burn her, she was definitely a witch. @AION You do have a bias against women though.
  16. @Magnanimous Also, try to ask about any parties that happen regularly around campus. Try to attend those parties and social events. Frats and sororities love to throw parties. You should be attending those. Ask around. Develop connections with dudes who know about the parties. You can then invite girls to upcoming parties. This is better than offering girls nothing.
  17. Of course if aliens exist they can disclose themselves any day. But obviously they refuse, for whatever reasons. Or they just don't exist. I do not believe Bashar that aliens will soon disclose themselves. I could be wrong, of course, but I just don't see aliens disclosing themselves in the next few years. That sounds too good to be true, and now is a terrible time for disclosure. I think this disclosure talk feeds into people's hopes and UFO mania. I see it as a collective self-deception. People WANT disclosure, but that doesn't mean it's coming. But ultimately I'm just speculating here. It just feels highly improbable to me. Disclosure is such a rare thing that it is highly improbable.
  18. I can't say because I never tried it before 5-MeO. My best guess is Yes. Weed is insanely psychedelic for me I think regardless of 5-MeO.
  19. Good vaping technique takes quite a bit of practice to teach yourself. It is not as easy as plugging.
  20. Torch is very important. It also takes skill to vape properly. There is a learning curve to it. You have to practice it quite a bit to perfect your technique. Keep trying and expeirmenting. Yes, but you need to add a circular mesh screen on top, to hold the DMT. Shorter pipe is better because vapor sticks to the glass.
  21. The UFO disclosure movement
  22. I never promised disclosure. I think the disclosure movement is conformist nonsense.
  23. Meth pipe certainly works with a torch lighter. Small glass smoking pipes with a mesh on top are very effective. Every vape shops sells those small glass pipes. E-mesh RDA tank devices work well. But they are hard to find, mostly sold out.
  24. Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Blue thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Blue. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Blue thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. Conservative talk show hosts offer tons of Blue material, but also try to find other unique examples. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But for now, let's just focus on Blue. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.
