  1. I had a friend and coaching client from Lebanon who I coached for over a year. His dream was to become a video game developer. He did it. He built his design skills working on games in Lebanon and then got hired by a game studio in Florida who paid for his visa. If you got the skillz, companies will be happy to pay for your work visa. Although I guess these days lots of people just work remotely. But you can even use that to your advantage.
  2. That's not an agenda. That's just the level of development of Silicon Valley and the tech world. Techy people are quite socially liberal and pluralistic. That's not a bug, that's a feature. It's the same situation in academia. It's not that academia is corrupt or biased, it's that academia attracts more intelligent people, which tend to have higher stages of development and therefore vote more liberal. This is a natural development asymmetry. Higher stages of development are not symmetrical with lower. People in power will have higher stages of development and will be more liberal than the population they have power over. This is not a mistake. Leadership and high-functioning requires higher stages of development. You cannot run a company like Google or Microsoft at a stage Red or Blue level of development. Google & Microsoft are at minimum stage Orange+ companies. If they were less, they couldn't be as successful and big as they are. Which is why you don't see companies like Google in Iran or even Alabama. It's not an accident that the biggest tech companies were founded in the most liberal parts of the world, like California and Washington. Yeah, people who live in California are very progressive. This should surprise no one. But pluralism is exactly what's necessary for a healthy social media platform.
  3. Spirituality & politics are pretty far removed from each other, so many spiritual people actually have awful politics. A lot of spiritual people are anti-vaxxers and the like. Most popular spirituality is just New Age dogma.
  4. I posted a video interview of him on my blog about 2 months back. It's quite good. Check it out. This is an error on your part. If you want to be truly openminded then you cannot let petty human emotional reactions influence your investigations of reality. Being openminded means thinking about all sorts of ugly things. Look, I never said Prager was some genius. He's locked deep in stage Blue, and those limitations will be obvious to you. He says plenty of unintelligent things. However, he is a good example of an intelligent and consistent stage Blue conservative. He is not merely some MAGA moron. He has put a lot of thought into this conservativism.
  5. I think he is brainwashing a lot of young people with conspiratorial garbage.
  6. @StormLight If you have proof that I am a pedophile feel free to post it. Otherwise pipe down and have the decency not to defame me. Muster enough intelligence to realize that calling people pedophiles without proof is the lowest form of demonization.
  7. Bret def has Yellow, but he has become self-deceived as a political reactionary. His inability to integrate Green has derailed his fuller development into Yellow. Like JP, he's too distracted fighting Greens to the point where he debases himself. His takes on Covid are just wrong.
  8. Try using humility
  9. Now you are ready to appreciate my video: How To Escape Wage Slavery P.S. Policing can be very meaningful and worth taking a bullet for. But only if it is meaningful to you. If you don't find a job meaningful you shouldn't be doing it. That's what it all boils down to.
  10. 1) By starting a biz 2) There are hundreds of courses, products, and seminars which teach marketing.
  11. Why are you searching for pedophile logos on Google? Why do you even know that pedophiles have logos? Perhaps you're a pedophile?
  12. I don't have enough experience of the situation in Iraq to know. In the long-run it's probably a net positive that Saddam was removed.
  13. The bottom line is that you need to reach a point with your new skills where you are able to generate some exceptional work/art. Which can then be sold. The hard part is using your new skills to generate something truly valuable and exceptional. Something many people desire. But that alone is usually not enough. You also need business and marketing savvy. Which is just an extra set of new skills. So you combine exceptional creative skills with biz and marketing skills, and then you get massive success.
  14. Bret Weinstein has definitely made a fool of himself on Covid and some of his anti-mainstream views. The Majority Report trolls people too much. They don't accept anything that isn't peak Green. They are incapable of integrating Blue & Orange and they infect their audience with that limitation, which creates needless polarization. They seriously lack Yellow. Spiral Dynamics perfectly explains their situation. Destiny has more Yellow awareness, so he sees the limits of what The Majority Report and other progressives are doing. But the key mistake that Greens make is that they perceive anyone Yellow as below them because it's not radical enough for them. So someone like Destiny cannot get through to them because they just dismiss him as a centrist.
  15. @StormLight The logos have no connection to each other. Perhaps get your vision checked.
  16. The question you should be asking is, How will you monetize having no skill?
  17. The problem with revolutions is that they often lead to worse dictators than the ones they overthrew. It's relatively easy to do a revolution. The hard part is governing afterwards.
  18. An ex-girlfriend of mine mailed me a pillow with a photo of her ass printed on it.
  19. There do exist legit free speech issues, but conservatives whining about Twitter and Hunter Biden are not addressing those, they are just weaponizing the issue in their culture war against Libs. If Musk/conservatives were serious about free speech within social media, they would be calling for these platforms to be taken out of the private sphere and regulated as public squares by the government -- in which case 1st Amendment rights would apply. Their cries of censorship are just self-biased whining.
  20. Paying that $1B fine would have been the best money he ever spent.
  21. Stage Green people run social media companies. Which is far superior to stage Blue or Orange running them. But Blue and Orange feel this is wrong. Musk is imposing Orange and soon he will learn that Green was better. That's what all this boils down to.
  22. He is very loving. His way of loving you is working you to death, where you will meet God
