Don't worry about that. You should be worrying about the opposite. And giving half your salary to a homeless person is foolish. You shouldn't strive for that. What you demonstrate here are egoic fantasies of selflessness, not the real thing. -
It is a mistake to focus on what most people can have or do. Focus on what you can do. Life No one is actually stopping you from producing value. People and institutions hardly care about you or know you exist. Society will do whatever you create it to do.

You can try to act more selflessly, but it's not gonna hit the root of the problem. -

By sitting in silent meditation for many hours. You can't really act your way into selflessness. You must raise your consciousness to realize that self is a constructed coping mechanism. -
Try chocolate sex for extra consciousness.

History does not paint a kind portrait of political mobs, revolutions, and coups.

Of course you can have some more realizations without psychedelics, but there are many other realizations you will be missing. -
Mobs don't act with intelligence.

@mr_engineer Dude, you just keep digging yourself deeper into a hole with each post and rationalization. -

Don't whitewash Bush conservatives. They were also exceptionally stupid. The country was just in a different place. America is slowly losing its power as the world globalizes and American government refuses to evolve and make wise choices. It's a downwad spiral. As stupid people run the government it becomes less and less effective, until things are so broken that mobs of people get riled up and act in even more stupid ways, putting ever dumber leaders into government. The errors of Bush naturally lead to someone like Trump. -
Right wingers are so cringe. See, this is what happens with anti-wokeism.

Of course, but then that same logic will apply to every spritual aspirant. Also, you have no idea how depressed you'd get if your life turned the wrong way. Your ideas of invulnerability are a fantasy. Some people are depressed because they have objectively worse lives than you.

The opposite point can also be made: regressive conservatives push Green into absurdity. When Andrew Tate and Kanye West say the things they say, can you really blame Green for cancelling them? Are we supposed to sit around and wait for Tate and Kanye to publically rape women and deport Jews before we call them out on their depravity? Is it gaslighting and virtue-signaling to ban Kanye West or Alex Jones from doing his right-wing rants? By its fundamentalist nature the right wing is not going to moderate itself. It will keep pushing for more and more regressive policies unless checked. If you let the right wing they will ban birth control and interracial marriage. And then they will start deporting people and reeducating the gays. And they will force their religon down everyone's throat. That's the anti-woke vision. You are not going to get "true liberalism" this way. Anti-woke reactionaries are precisely anti-liberal. -
DeSantis will have a hold on that place for a long time.

Not necessarily so simple. Case in point: Alan Watts, who died a depressed alcoholic. A spiritual person can still get depressed in practice if their life takes a wrong turn. Spirituality does not make you invincible.

Because it's just not satisfying. Relationships are burden enough. It makes no sense to pay the cost but not get satisfaction out of it -- which you will not get if there is not strong values alignment. The more conscious I get the less satisfaction I get from socializing with unconscious people. Not because I am closedminded, but because I have nothing to gain from it. For example, if I approach a girl who is a fundamentalist Christian I just walk away. There is no satisfaction I can get from her. I would rather be alone than keep the company of a fool. Why would I torture myself? When you relate with someone long-term they need to be roughly on your level. -
You just gotta face them with consciousness, without squirming away, and apply understanding, love, and surrender.

They don't. Critiques of Green from above rare very rare. And even when they are made by people like Wilber or Teal, they are still misguided because the political battle doesn't stop to accomodate Yellow. In practice what would happen if Teal's political advice was followed is that American democracy would be overthrown in a fascist coup by mouthbreathing religous fanatics. the ironic thing is that the woke are the only thing standing between Teal being burned at the stake for the witch that she is. Once the MAGA take power then you'll really see "free speech" and "cancel culture". As intolerant as the woke are, anything less than woke is far more intolerant. And that intolerance will be felt by Teal and her tribe first and foremost. Teal's whole audience is full of soft Green crybabies who will be raped and trafficked by the likes of Tate and his Red Pill wannabes. Teal's role in an anti-woke society is either as a housewife or burning at the stake. She should know better having grown up in Mormon Utah. Green is not merely virtue signaling, Green is keeping corporations, fascists, and religious fanatics from enslaving you. You can't speak of the evils of Green without speaking of their positive function in society. -

Now it's time to get serious and bring out the DMT pipe. -
I don't need any more potency from my weed. I hit my ceiling with 3 puffs of the vape. Tinctures I will try soon.

Cheated how? All bodybuilders use steroids so that doesn't count. That's just the biz. Yeah, Arnold slept around, however you are mistaken in characterizing Arnold as not caring about this son. He supported his son in secret, obviously because he could not admit he had a son from not his wife. I have read Arnold's biography and it is nothing as bad as Tate. Yes, Arnold was no angel. But he is still a good rolemodel overall for men. Listen to the speech Arnold gave last year after Putin invaded Ukraine and compare that to the toxic shit Tate says. Arnold is way smarter than Tate.

I embody those precisely because I am not a Christian. There is not a single Christian who knows what Love is. -

Traditional Christian values would be that path, for example. But Christians are horribly corrupt so I wouldn't expect any decency from them. Stage Blue religion is the ultimate fake wokeness. The entire history of Christianity is devils virtue-signaling about how godly they are. Is any American Christian awake? Do any of them tolerate alternative POV? Is any of them Christ-like? They are all full of shit. Just look at JP. He is the best example of what happens when you reject wokeness, and then what? You devolve into tweeting about how climate isn't a real thing and fat chicks are bad. -

No it isn't. No! They are literally different levels of consciousness. This is why I teach Spiral Dynamics, so people stop making this mistake.
