Violent footage was released 1.5 years ago. You just weren't looking nor interested in it.

You're way behind the curve on this. This Congressional hearing didn't release anything new, really. All the videos of Jan 6th showed how ugly and serious it was. You just aren't watching the right news sources. Trump has a very good chance of winning 2024 if he is allowed to run, thanks to the bad economy, inflation, gas prices, and a totally ignorant citizenry. Even someone like Elon Musk is biased and dumb enough to vote Republican in our current epistemic climate. It was obvious that Trump was a malignant narcissist, white collar criminal, and con-artist back in 2015. And it was obvious that he would try to take the whole ship down with him if he was going down himself. And that's exactly what happened, and will happen again if he is allowed power.

Nowhere did I say you should be worrying so much. Life is a game you must play to the hilt even though you could get hit by a bus any day. In fact, playing it to the hilt is what gives you peace and happiness if your life ends tomorrow. If you get an illness and you have no purpose, that's when you will truly have no more reason to live. Life can get extremly hard and there's nothing that will prepare you for it. You can imagine very bad life conditions all day long. But it would be foolish to design your life around that, since odds of it are pretty low. You could get your dick bitten off tomorrow, but you shouldn't plan your life according to such edge cases. If you do get your dick bitten off tomorrow you can adjust your life plans accordingly. Notice how your OCD and fear is creating self-sabotage in your life. You can't become strong or successful with that kind of loser's mentality. It's big mistake to design your life around fear. And this does not mean bad shit won't befall you. It will. Deal with it. That's life.

Oh yeah? Watch him. He has no shame.

1) You should get good at talking about mundane stuff with girls. Rarely will a girl give you much intellectual challenge. That's not really her function. 2) If you value deep intelligent conversations then you should emphasize that when screening girls. Some girls are deeper while most are shallow as a puddle. 3) Most girls will be more interested in people than in things and ideas. This is how girls gotta be to be good mothers. So to some extent you just learn to accept it.

Rather than trying to respond or comfort someone, just get good at listening to them and asking clarifying questions that deepen understanding. Set your intention to simply see his POV, rather than trying to get something out of him. If you do this genuinely he should start to feel validated. This requires openmindedness, curiosity, coming from a place of not-knowing, and dropping your assumptions and expectations. The issue for you will be that you are very emotionally reactive, and if he is too, you two will trigger each other and that won't be sustainable. An emotionally reactive man is a rather weak man and that's gonna create problems in the masculine/feminine dynamic.

If you dream it up, it is. What's foolish is to outsource your dosing of a very dangerous chemical to a fictional entity based on hearsay from a girl. I would not trust a girl to cook me a healthy dinner, nevermind how to dose psychedelics. How about you use your brain to guide yourself?

@Razard86 @Aleister Crowleyy More compassion, less self-righteousness.

Until you meet an alien, it's just hearsay. And even if you meet an alien, anything they tell you will just be more hearsay. Focus on direct experience.

The precise answer is: Nowhere Space is imaginary.

Yes, my videos can present serious challenges to youngsters. Advanced stuff. I will try more to warn of the dangers and traps. Yes, you must master some of the basics of survival before you jump too deep into transcending survival. Basically I assume if you watch my videos that you have handled the material covered in the LP Course. Those are the survival fundamentals. But of course most of you haven't done that. But also I cannot sit around waiting for you. Thanks for the feedback.

What's dangerous and delusional is trusting some "entity" you haven't even seen, and using that as guidance for dosing psychedelics. This is totally irresponsible and violates the fundamental principle of our work here: which is to take 100% responsibility and sovereignty over your development. Stop foolishly trusting others, including your girlfriend. Trust yourself. Think for yourself. If you are putting a chemical into your body the only valid justification for that is because YOU decided it is correct. Not because someone told you, and you are just following orders. You are God. Stop playing games with these "entities". The only thing that exists is yourself.

@CultivateLove I have a video: What Does Awakening Feel Like? which fully explains it.

How about you start framing your political and ethical questions in a Tier 2 way? This isn't kindergarten.

To me they are quite different from each other. Awakening is a radical shift in your state of consciousness in which you become directly conscious that you are dreaming up reality. This is way more than a mere insight, but of course it comes with insight. So in this case insight would be an aspect of awakening. But you can have all sorts of insights which are not awakening and which do not create a shift in your state of consciousness. An insight could be something as minor as realizing how to solve a puzzle game. Insights are way easier to have than awakenings or God-realizations. And insights usually don't change your state very much. The typical person will have hundreds or even thousands of insights in her life, but zero awakenings. An awakening is a very serious event. It's like breaking reality.

You are dreaming up an unconscious.

Don't kid yourself.

@axiom Well then, I should give you candy-asses more beatings.

The only thing that's conscious is you.

It's not easy to turn philosophy into a paying career. But it can be done. Academia is one way. Social media is another way. And there are other ways. But any career is hard and takes lots of work. You have to become so good at your field that your work can provide significant value to people. So you might want to seriously contemplate the question: How can I use my love of philosophy to help lots of people and offer massive value?

Tempest in a teapot.

By realizing that if you live trapped in your fears you will become a miserable and weak husk of a human. All of life boils down to fear vs love. Either you will side with fear or you will side with love. If you side with fear you will become a devil and if you side with love you will become God.

It's a hundred different material factors. If your mom beat you, you will have a much harder time of it, for example. If you were born 1000 years ago, you would be a fucking barbarian.

As long as it inspires you. Many people are too selfish and underdeveloped to get inspired by such a vision tho. So they would need a more material and selfish vision.

@iboughtleosbooklist Take responsibility for your mind. Notice you're not doing that.
