That's sorta my position. Not conversative in the regressive sense, but in the grounded, pragmatic, realistic sense. Stop wasting energy on silly utopian ideas like chicks with dicks being equal in sports to women, or socialism, or endless immigration, or endless deficit spending. That shit is killing the Dems. These are impractical positions that will never succeed.

You can do some of that. But you cannot talk a man out of his level of development. It is much either to talk someone down into low development than up into high development. The devil whispering in your ear has more force than the angel. Because his words tickle the devil within.

Number is division.

@Emerald You can't bluster nor bull your way through lack of human development. This isn't merely a PR or leadership problem. This is fundamentally a problem of lack of education, intelligence, and development. And that will not be fixed with any kind of clever political manuvering. Humans severely lack intelligence and development. Which is why leftists will continue to lose and conservatives continue to win.

Of course

My ass is not that phat.

@Thought Art Yeah, Mishlove has a great channel. I will share it on the blog soon.

How do you know it doesn't work? There are many credible stories of the government using remote viewers for espionage. It's not just hippie stuff. The research on remote viewing is compelling and credible, if you bother to study it.

You are not gonna overcome the gravitational pull of xenophobia and allergy to wokeness so easily. Lefties need to read the room. Stuff like DEI, trans sports, weird gender issues, and open border is killing leftist chances of winning. The reason the right can get away with being shamelessly themselves is because they are skiing down hill. Progressives are skiing up hill.

Don't know yet. I'll figure it out as I go along.

When you combine serious progressive economic policies with diversity candidates, you lose the culture war. The stench of "wokeness" becomes too pungent.

I think it requires a new bold Democrat leader. Someone new like Obama was back in 2008. I'm not saying Obama was an economic populist, I'm saying he was a fresh face. Dems need someone new who's like Bernie but younger and not a self-described socialist. This is about leadership. The party itself will not change. Someone like an Obama or a Trump has to come along and force it to change. Bernie and AOC are not going to do it. AOC is too unappealing to much of the country. It needs to be someone more mature and seasoned. And not a woman of color. It needs to be a white dude because people are too racist, sexist, and xenophobic to vote for an AOC.

That's the point!

So I've decided to give this tour a shot. The details are still yet to be determined but tentatively I'm hoping to visit about 10 cities in the next year around the US. This tour would happen in 3 phases: Phase #1: Los Angeles, San Fran, Seattle Phase #2: Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, NY Phase #3: Austin, Atlanta, Miami Perhaps not in exactly that order, but something akin to that. We will adjust cities based on demand. But Phase #1 seems fairly certain to happen in that order. It would work as follows: I would fly into the city on Friday Around 6-7pm on Friday we would meet in a hotel conference room where I would give a talk on some new topic followed by some group exercises and Q&A. This would all last about 2-3 hrs long in total, with about 10-30 people attending (depending on demand). This would perhaps be followed by a dinner at a local eatery, depending on crowd size. Probably limited to 10 people max as it gets unwieldy with a party over 10. Cost: estimated around $30/person Cost of attending dinner: some amount just to keep the group to 10 max + you pay for your dinner I would visit at least 1 city per month, maybe as much as 1 city every 2 weeks. The schedule would vary to avoid conflict with holidays but the meetings would be held on Friday evenings. Locations outside USA are too cost and time prohibitive right now. Europe might be possible if and when Phase #3 is successfully completed, but that's too early to talk about yet. I'm doing this in phases because I have no idea yet how many people would show up in which cities. If fewer than 10, it's not really worth doing due to the expenses of travel, hotel, meeting room, car, and time. 10-30 would be ideal for now. More than 30 requires larger, more expensive meeting rooms but I doubt we'll have this problem at this stage. If there is interest I might also design a one-day mini-workshop which I would teach on the following day: Saturday. With the idea being that if you like the Friday talk and you want to do a more in-depth training the following day, that might cost $100-$200 for let's say a 4-hour training. This extra mini-workshop day would help cover my costs of travel and it would be a good learning experience for you. But for the mini-workshop to be practical there would have to be at least 5 people paying. Otherwise it's not worth the hassle. The trick in planning this out is that I have no idea how many people would be interested in this in each of the above cities, let alone show up. The only way to find out is to actually schedule the dates and do it. So I will probably be making concrete plans shortly for Los Angeles, San Fran, & Seattle. After those 3 are complete we could assess how things went, make improvements, and schedule new cities. Or, if not enough people show up, then Phase #1 will be the end of this experiment. Let me know what ya'll think. This would probably only work if those who want to attend can convince 1 or 2 friends to come as well. One of the biggest benefits of these meet ups would be the ability to network and make friends with self-actualizers in your city. So you don't just get to meet me, but you get to make some new local friends who are into this work who you can hang out with for years to come. I'm excited to do some talking and socializing in the non-digital realm

Starting bid is $150. It's not an expensive piece.

You don't drive a scooter on the road or near the road. I drive it around park areas and neighborhoods where there are very few cars and cars move slowly.

Don't ever say Trump and truth in the same sentence.

They don't need to be told. They just live in their ego-obsessed little worlds.

It's not just that. It's about labor costs. Film shooting is done in places where labor is cheap and there are no unions.

Technically that's post-rational religion. But even post-rational religion will turn into an obstacle. Religion is problematic regardless of how you spin it.

They would pull someone out of Harvard and into a top secret comparmentalized program. Like Bob Lazar. Of course it makes no sense to just announce such technology to every shmuck at Harvard. They would hand-select only the people they needed for the job.

One requires being a philosopher, the other does not.

Hell no. Dems need an economic populism agenda. The whole Dem agenda should be about fixing income inequality, ending corporate domination, busting monopolies, and ending corporate lobbying. But Dems should not raise taxes on the bottom 80%.

If Trump actually cared about re-shoring filmmaking he would give tax breaks for US film production. Many nations do this. Not that he has this power.

Proves that he is a philosophical pervert. All his verbal ejaculations are just a clever distraction from realizing God. This is why I hate academic philosophers.
