Depends on what you want out of life. There's no reason why you couldn't raise your consciousness and also be successful in business. There are many healthy forms of business. Don't forget that there are ways of making millions of dollars while also doing good for the world. You could sit down, write a book, and make a million dollars and this does not contradict being highly conscious.

It is not fake but that doesn't mean you will be able to do it. It depends on genetics.

Power is survival. Humans are always after more survival. Of course there are many new ideas. We need more people thinking new ideas. The problem is that most people are so politically dogmatic and conformist that they don't allow new ideas to enter their mind. It is worthwhile to invent better, newer forms of government, but these ideas need to be grounded and realistic to our current development level. Humans are very predictable, but society is evolving all the time. It just looks slow from an individual's POV.

I call it ethnic cleansing. Which is what they explicitly say they do. Their own leaders say it. This is a matter of historical record, not opinion. Palestinians were and continue to be cleansed off that land. There's just no serious doubt that that's what Israeli settlement policy has always been. The settlers themselves admit it.

Nope. Just reality.

You live in paradise relative to how things used to be.

@MightyMind Building civilization, by definition, requires power. The allocation of power, by definition, is called politics and government. Organizing people is politics and government. You're not inventing anything new in this domain. Humans have been working this domain for 10,000 years and what we have today is the best we've been able to come up.

@MightyMind Requires the naivete of a child. Government is never one organization.

That's literally what government is. What you want already happened. And we are living the result.

"The fact that there have already been 50,000 deaths in Gaza is necessary and required for future generations. For everything that happened on October 7th, for every person October 7th, 50 Palestinians should die. I’m talking about this as a message to future generations. There’s nothing to be done. They need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price. There’s no choice in this disturbed neighbor. There’s no choice." — Aharon Haliva, Israel’s Chief of Military Intelligence

@Nivsch Of course. So what?

It's quite different because for various important differences: American empire needs Israel as a foothold in the Middle East. Terrorism scrambles everyone's mind Jews have a majority within Israel and they have very strong cultural and ethnic identity Holocaust scrambled everyone's minds The existence of the entire state of Israel requires this. It's the foundation for the state itself. This whole issue is entrenched in biblical religious ideology which is not going away. Fundamentalist Christians and Jews are not going to change their minds in the name of secular equality. To them this is an issue of heaven and hell.

No need for a but there. Satan believes his view is the good and right thing.

There are protests, but the Zionist nature of the Israeli state will not be changed by such protests. The vast majority of Israelis are proud brainwashed Zionists and approve of the government's actions. This is not a case of Israel being hijacked by a small extremist faction. Zionism is the very basis of the Israeli state, so they cannot stop doing it or their society would unravel. It's not just a problem of government, it's a fundamentally sick ethnocentric culture. The government is an outgrowth of a wrong culture.

Because technology makes survival easier. The easier survival gets the more kind mankind can afford to be to each other. No, we are talking about all society ever. There are no exceptions to the ignorance, selfishness, and corruption of humans. China is insanely corrupt, just in their own collectivist ways.

If you want to discuss the Venus Project, please start a new thread.

The key thing to realize is that no one cares about what's actually better for society, they just want their worldview validated and they want personal benefits at the cost of everyone else. Politics is not about making society better, it is about proving yourself right and stealing money from people you don't know nor care about.

@czar24 Just hatch a plan to live and work in a big city with great nightlife. That really is the foundation to dating success. It is a numbers game.

I am speaking about his entire channel, not this particular vid. He is gaining popularity right now and I've heard problematic analysis from him. Just be skeptical in your consumption of his content.

Depends entirely on your goals and standards. If you want to master dating attractive women, yes. How good do you want to be with women? How many women do you want? How hot do you want them to be?

Be careful with both him and Ziehan. They both present problematic, simplistic narrartives with excessive cockiness.

It is a mistake to focus on the past or future. Look at your consciousness right now. Sleep is imaginary.

@ryoko You talked about abolishing private property, but with no indication of understanding how serious that change is. Wall Street would literally rather assassinate you than let you make that change. I don't think you understand that. If you lead a serious movement to abolish private property in America, the CIA will assassinate you. And I'm not sure I would blame them because you are barking up a very dangerous tree.

I don't know about that. The price for them has been too high.
