God realization is when you realize your girlfriend is a dream.

Exactly. So stop whining about your suffering.

By his own logic we don't know if Jordan Peterson is a man or a woman or a chipmunk. It's amazing how sloppily JP does his existential deconstructions -- only in directions which suit his conservative worldview. If we don't know what "climate" is, then how the hell do we know what a man is?

Please cut the BS. The simple fact is that people who watch lots of alt-media end up less informed and more deceived about reality than otherwise. So your claims of bias are spurious. Bias is precisely what makes alt-media so dangerous. The bias found in alt-media makes CNN look like angels.

This reactionary stance won't hold water. The job of any media should be help people stay informed and make sense of the world events. People who listen to alt-media often end up having a poorer sense of events than those who listen to mainstream media. Which means alt-media is doing a worse job than mainstream media. Many people who hate on mainstream media don't watch it at all, instead only consuming alt-media. Which makes them worse informed than those who only watch mainstream media. This whole demonization of mainstream media is really unintelligent and transparently self-serving for alt-media.

Definitely not. You have to be much more careful with subscribing to such simplistic stereotypes. This is just some narrative you invented based on cherrypicked media you've consumed.

Everything seems better in retrospect.

I think most people understand that absolute free speech is a dumb idea, and they don't expect it of their social platforms. Hardcore libertarians are a minority, which is why they never win any elections. It's an ideology which fails both in theory and in practice. Don't forget that the loudest voices on social media are often the most ignorant and do not represent the majority.

All media has limited time and screen real-estate. They can only cover so much. Alt-media omits more stuff than mainstream media. You are falling into the trap of double-standards. US media doesn't cover European and world events much because most Americans tune out and don't care about it. All media is a business that must cater to people's desires and willingness to watch & listen. - - - - - The bottom line is that you're gaslighting us with your own biases and lack of understanding of media.

1) Most mainstream news does not censor anyone. Who does CNN censor? 2) If you're talking about giant social media platforms, they have a duty and responsibility to moderate hate speech, abuse, and exploitation of their platforms. As do all smaller alt-platforms. They are just smaller. If you run a website, you have a duty and responsibility to block people from using your website for illegal and dangerous things. No matter how small your website is. You can't just sit back and allow people to use your website to plan terrorist attacks, for example.

No mainstream media sources claims to be absolute truth. This is a silly smear against them. Truth has nothing to do with mainstream or alternative sources. No, this is just your twisted projection. The opposite is true.

This is a seriously erroneous take. Alt media absolutely is a source of information and they definitely define "the truth". The only difference between mainstream media and alt-media is size, wealth, and power. Such that if you let the alt-media have the size, wealth, and power of mainstream media they would behave equally bad or worse.

This is some epically cringe toxic masculinity.

@Danioover9000 He didn't report you. I removed it of my own initiative. User profile images with Pepe frogs and other toxic right-wing memes are not allowed here.

Look, Patrick is obviously not some sage. But be offers some good, practical, stage Orange success advice. I share his videos because many of you guys are missing basic Orange self development and getting lost in spiritual mental masturbation. Pat is a good antidote to that. Obviously fatigue is a much bigger issue than just the words you use, but how you talk to yourself is an important topic.

It's something I just have to learn to live with. From what I have understood, it's just part of my genetics.

I don't see a problem with it for warming up food. Don't use it to cook. Most importantly make sure you're not microwaving with plastic containers. Use glass or ceramic.

Maybe that's why they call it Illumination?

You shouldn't preach things to others that you have no direct experience with. However, you can explain some spiritual theory to someone, but then say, "I'm still working to validate this in my experience." The reality is that 99% of science people talk about is never validated by them. At least you are making an effort to validate spiritual truths. The journey to Truth must begin with theory. This is not a mistake. Just don't stop at theory.

Think of it like this, when you get a spam email, do you reply to the spammer with an explanation of why you are declining his offer?

This mission statement requires heavy moderation. Libertarianism does NOT maximize effective freedom. It simply allows a few people to monopolize the whole field and enslave everyone else. The reason to moderate is precisely to protect the public square from shitslingers and bad actors who ruin free speech. Allowing Nazis to plot government coups does not increase free speech.

Anyone who is still supporting Republicans at this point is a joke.

It would certainly be overkill. I've done 24-hour long trips on 5-MeO just through re-vaping or re-plugging. It gets very challenging to manage and stay grounded. Sleep becomes impossible because you're just constantly awakening. If you were constantly high on 5-MeO, you would quickly lose the ability to function and survive as a human. Such high levels of consciousness are not compatible with human life. Which is why humans and even professional Buddhist monks are not that conscious. You have to appreciate and respect the limits of being human.

You need a long-term vision/plan and then break it up into baby steps and take some steps every day. Gradually things will improve if you do that. Be careful pissing your life away on WoW. You need to start doing some emotional labor and genuine work to build a good life. Wow is toxic garbage that you must ween yourself off of. You don't have to quit cold turkey but start taking small steps to scale it back. Find healthier alternatives. So out and socialize with people.

Chronic fatigue can literally have 50 different causes. You must test each possible cause one by one. The error is to fall for the simplistic idea that there is one cause and one solution. What worked for someone else likely won't work for you because the odds are like 1/50. Start with getting comprehensive blood work, especially check your thyroid, hormones, and vitamins comprehensively.
