No, I mostly motivate myself to take action because I have a keen sense that I will soon be dead and I value the miracle of my life too much to waste a single year of it on dumb shit. So stop joking around and educate yourself seriously.

Talk to girls and find your LP so you can build the right career skills. Do both. Yes, I use visualization a lot. I always have an exciting vision of my future that I am working towards.

Don't remember exactly how many. Between 5-10. Spira, no.

Stop personally attacking each other in this thread or it will be locked down. Discuss your perspectives without demonizing the other side.

Def not. When I would go to Shinzen Young's retreats I would just meditate by myself outside away from everyone else. Then I realized, why the fuck am I not just doing my own solo retreats? And thus the solo retreat was born. But you may be different. You may benefit from the structure and camaraderie of a group retreat.

That may work in 500 years once capitalism has sufficently met most of the world's material needs and people fully evolved past Orange. People are still fundamentally too hungry for material improvements to life.

Probably won't given my health.

Ahahahahahaha....

It's pretty low con overall. But it does force one to grow as a man because it is so challenging. And there can be some high con aspects to it if you do it right. It's basically learning how to socialize. And socialization is pretty low con overall.

You can't really ban politics. It's just what people do.

Other psychedelics might work better on you. The key is to find the right psychedelic for you.

Sure you can! That's how socialism has always worked

I don't support deplatforming Joe Rogan. He should have his show and run it as he likes. People just need to be aware that Joe is not a reliable source of serious understanding about reality.

Omg

1-2g dried. Look up the truffle equivalent.

Go talk to girls and see what works.

There's actually no problem with this forum once you factor in the fact that it is an online forum. An online forum is a specific type of medium. The medium is what it is. It has inherent limits. If you have experience with other online forums you should know what to expect and what not to expect. Spirituality is never going to transcend the structural limits of what an online forum is. You can't just spray paint an online forum with spirituality and make all the limits go away.

Of course having good healthcare helps. But if you have bad health genetically, no riches will save you. Of course that helps.

That has always been the core problem with socialism: is that it only exists atop capitalism. Right-wingers make this point as a critique from below. But this point can be made as a critique of socialism from above. Socialism doesn't actually work to generate the material goods and services we all love and use. So the fundamental hypocrisy of Hasan is that he enjoys material goods and services that would not be possible to create if socialism were enacted today. And he is in denial about this point. He would argue that socialism can generate the same goods and services and more humanely. But I would counter that the inhumanity of capitalism is exactly what is necessary to create those goods and services. At least at this point in social evolution. It doesn't always have to be that way. You cannot buy a McDonalds burger for $1 unless it is generated via capitalism. If society was truly egalitarian that same burger would cost you $100. Which is precisely why we don't have socialism.

There is a subtle point here which Hasan and socialists don't understand. While Hasan may not be technically exploiting workers because he has no employees per se, the only reason he's able to make millions a year from Twitch and YT is because that's all part of the capitalist system which enables these giant tech platforms. And that system is built on wage slavery. Twitch and YT are peak capitalism. But it allows a few of us creators to feel like we aren't part of the wage slavery system because we happen to sit at the top of the food chain. In a truly egalitarian society (not socialism), Hasan would be not be making millions per year while the employees who moderate YT earn $10/hr. But in practice even in a socialist system there will be celebrities who rake in millions and spend those millions on frivolous luxury goods. Socialism will not eliminate that. There is no Twitch or YT without exploiting the working class.

No amount of wealth with save you from bad health.

I have wondered this myself. Some people just have lucky genetics. Like Trump. If I ate the shit they eat I would be dead by now. There may actually be a correlation between one's level of consciousness and how sensitive your body/brain is to toxins. Notice that a high performance sports car requires superior fuel to travel the same mileage. High performance machines tend to be more sensitive and fragile, requiring higher precision in their operation. There are some people who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day their whole lives and never get cancer. But are these highly conscious people? Would you really want to trade places with them even if they live to 100? Trump will probably live more years than I do, but I don't regret that one bit.

The context of this thread is people questioning and confused about what I do/offer. 100 million lifetime views.
