  1. It will not solve any practical problems. Dispose of that fantasy as soon as you can. If you have a specific, practical life problem, solve it directly, rather than hoping that spirituality will solve it for you somehow, some day, automagically.
  2. All of my spiritual experience has lead me to conclude that Buddhism is bullshit. But you judge for yourself.
  3. Welcome to life, where most people are dissatisfied with their looks and cannot change it. The notion that you ought to be satisfied with your looks is childish and overly-entitled. You have no such right. You should be thankful that you were not born a crippled bald midget ogre. When you really understand this, you will feel a lot better and get on with life.
  4. I don't think DeSantis is seriously running for 2024. He is just building up name recognition for 2028. This is all just warm-up for him. If Biden manages to win 2024, DeSantis will have an excellent chance of winning 2028 as people will be sick of 8 years of Biden.
  5. There is a big difference between proper and improper use of rationality. Rationality is a good thing when properly used. But it is badly abused in our culture and the academic and scientific communities.
  6. 1) Very few Buddhists or spiritual teachers are actually monks. 2) Being a monk is a very rare thing that is not suitable for 99% of humans. Which is why less than 1% of humans are monks. 3) Yes, monks have zero ambition. That's key to being a monk. You are basically deciding to throw your whole life away in order to attain meditative states. This is not necessarily a good thing. You have to want that.
  7. My site is complex and required a lot of custom code. You don't need that for now. Wordpress is a great platform that I use for some of my backend. I used to be a web developer, so I have a lot of web coding experience that most people don't have.
  8. Sometimes it's hard to say, but I believe that it helped me a lot early on.
  9. It kicks in within 3 minutes. At the 4 minute mark it feels like you are in a new reality, although the room still looks the same. The shift in consciousness is so dramatic that you start to feel sick and nauseous. It feels like you are no longer yourself but some kind of higher-dimensional being.
  10. I will still be doing videos and courses.
  11. Way too early for that. New That will remain a secret for quite a while. Thanks for offering but for now I'm just gonna work with one developer. Perhaps in the future, once I have a solid prototype ready. Not sure yet. I'm not quite ready to finish that book yet. I still need more spiritual experience. I don't want to write my ultimate book and then have to rewrite it a year after it comes out. My ultimate understanding of reality still needs to mature and solidify.
  12. DMSA is clinically provem very effective. But if you misuse it, you will harm yourself. So follow the proper protocol I shared with you.
  13. Women need to supplement iron. This isn't necessarily a diet issue. Easy fix.
  14. The horseshoe theory is true not at the level of content, but at the level of structure. Both the extreme right and left are dogmatic, judgmental, ideological, demonizing, impractical, arrogant, unwilling to compromise, and fundamentally misunderstands the other side.
  15. Sorry, but stop being shallow.
  16. I have not read that many books in total. It's just not necessary. In fact it will become counter-productive. You can't actualize that much theory. If you could I would be doing it.
  17. How would it have played out any differently?
  18. That just doesn't jive with the fact that women perform a lot of useful jobs in the economy. Especially in the West. Women make great: teachers, nurses, doctors, dental hygienists, receptionists, artists, babysitters, actresses, celebrities, influencers, real estate agents, waitresses, retail clerks, human resources, models, yoga instructors, nutritionists, writers, journalists, etc. Even cops and military. So you might want to rethink your attitude.
  19. There is some rise in labor unions lately, but I doubt it will ever reach the old levels. A lot of industries aren't so suitable to unions, or people just don't want to unionize.
