Dude. What the fuck am I reading? No, that's not mind control. You guys still don't understand what a cult is after dozens of documentaries, videos, books, and things I shared. Constantly implying that I run a cult is disrespectful. It makes me not even want to teach you anything. By watering down what a cult is you are actually helping real cults. The boy who cried wolf. "Who knows what a wolf is? Maybe this rabbit is a wolf? Who can say? After all, it has 4 legs and fur, just like a wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolfffff!"

When your house burns down in a fire, we'll see how much your smarts stop your suffering. Suffering is way too potent to care about your smarts. Do not underestimate how deep suffering goes. You cannot outsmart suffering.

Imagine if ancient Greeks saw NYC today. They would think aliens built it.

They are selling us a fucking monorail.

I'm not that passionate about it. I barely tune in. But I may watch a few games. Watching the World Cup? Come on man. Get the stick out of your butt. Conformity doesn't mean you can't enjoy a popular thing for fun. Of course I consume some popular things. It's not like I am some die hard fan who watches every game. World Cup is interesting because it is so rare, not an annual thing. I mostly look in on it from a distance. If you guys were not talking about it, I wouldn't even know it was happening this year.

I am planning to change the font that's currently used for all my future black and white Actualized Quotes on the blog. I am planning to switch to a more classical serif font. The old font is sans. I'd like to hear your feedback. Which of the following fonts do you think looks and reads best? Select one. https://www.actualized.org/downloads/font-test-01.png

I think I was at Italy's winning cup in 1994! I saw Italy in the semi-final if I recall in LA Rose Bowl. It was miserably hot. Morocco? I'll grant you good food, but soccer?

I don't know enough about their organizations to make that claim. Perhaps they are, perhaps you are being too sloppy with your use of that word. Just because someone runs a spiritual community does not make it a cult. They need to be doing some kind of manipulative mind control on top of it to exploit their followers. I don't know to what extent Teal, Aaron, or Mooji do that. Benhito certainly seems problematic and exploitative with his fans. I strongly dislike that. Charging your fans enormous amounts of money is a huge no-no. So is keeping multiple girlfriends and framing sex with them as spiritual healing. That is plain corruption. But regardless, Actualized.org is not like any spiritual community. I have no organization, I have no staff, I don't exploit you guys, and I don't control any one.

Lol

You've grown beautifully. Stay the course.

USA is pathetic at soccer. Best not to think about it.

How did you guess the title of my book?

I don't recall Portugal being good.

How is that good? Africans don't win World Cups

North Korea all the way!

Let's hope we get some surprises. I am sick of Germany, France, UK, Spain. They are too boring.

Ahahahahaha... Touche

@PsychedelicEagle I can introduce you to a horse with perfect blood panels

Netherlands went pretty far in the past. Germany and Spain are often dangerous. Germany can crush Brazil. Top picks: Spain, France, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, UK

I have and I do criticize academic philosophy sharply. Most academic philosophers are science-brained. Their philosophy is just a thin cover for science. Also because most people aren't into philosophy, but everyone believes that science is the truth. Deconstructing academic philosophy is not really necessary. Academic philosophy does not run your mind. Science does. Yes it's easy for me, however, this is a public service. This is what the public needs to hear. I am creating an entire life project of deconstructing science. Because science needs it! I am doing what science should have done but can't do because they are too conflicted inside the system. The only one who can make this critique properly is someone outside the system and independent, like me. If I don't do it, it will take a hundred years for someone else to come along and do it. I'm doing it to advance science. That's the irony of this whole thing. Scientists don't even understand that I am helping them. It is like giving bitter medicine to your cat. He doesn't understand it's good for him even though it tastes so bitter. I am experimenting.

I should sell you AI underwear.

Coming soon: AI underwear

I sympathize with you if this thing was really a cult. But from the video I remember watching some years ago of yours, I did honestly feel like the dirt was missing. This was probably just a matter of communication skill. I'm sure from your POV, it's obviously a cult, but that didn't come across as clearly as you imagined in your first video. That doesn't mean I am denying your thing was a cult, just that it is not obvious to me from your video. When you make such a serious accusation publicly, you have to lay out a clear, definitive case, which can be difficult to do, especially if you're not skilled in this type of communication, or just lack the evidence. I simply don't have enough information to know if your thing was truly a cult. But generally I am inclined to believe you. I am certainly not defending this organization I don't even know. I can see how getting tangible dirt on a cult can be difficult. It's kind of like a rape accusation.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.
