Be careful taking some fringe extremist college radical's slogan and making that your understanding of Green. You can always find nutcases in any group or category of people. The nutcases do not represent the norm and should mostly be ignored. Don't forget to be charitable to each stage by looking at their best rather than their worst.

This course is not about blowing your mind with uniqueness. It is about programming your mind for results. You already know too much. But you don't apply it.

And what if falsehood collapses the world entirely?

Christians are ideological zombies. They are engaged in defending a fantasy. Which means they cannot be wise. Being wise requires indepedent thinking and freedom from fantasy and ideology. There is no such thing as good or bad, there is only level of consciousness. Lack of consciousness = devirly.

@BlueOak Biden's age matters. Not as a number but as his obvious cognitive weakness and decline. Biden's health is clearly rapidly declining. However, it does not matter as much as Trump's planned criminal dictatorship.

Your good Christians are fools who will sign a pact with the Devil before they exhibit any wisdom.

@Jayson G Who do you think runs Trump's government? Obviously Trump himself understands nothing about the techncial functions of government. It's these deep political operatives like the Heritage Foundation which supply him with technical experts to actually fill the jobs. But their technical experts are all ideological loyalist hacks. This is where all of Trumps judges come from. But it's way worse than that. Not just judges, his entire administrative staff. Trump himself does not have the knowledge or ability to hire experts for these roles. So he appoints whoever these groups tell him will be most loyal to him. A dictator fills his entire administration with incompetent and corrupt loyalists rather than competent experts with integrity. The only reason the US government works so much better than other governments is the extent to which it is filled with competent experts with integrity rather than loyalist stooges. This is the essence of corruption.

I will post a list of topics when it is launched.

No. There will be new videos. Yes.

That's irrelevant to what I was talking about.

Wealth inequality is gonna be besides the point when you have a vengeful dictator in office.

Al Queda is anti-establishment in that they want to return to medieval Islam. It's pointless to say "anti-establishment", the question is what are you replacing it with? Progress or regress? Future or past?

Bernie is history. He has no business in this conversation.

It's a bank account, not your future wife.

Shaming people into right action works up to a certain point when they are low in development and consciousness. But to reach the higher levels of development and consciousness will require a higher method than shame.

If you can't see how dangerous this whole situation is then you are so blind, biased, or naive that it doesn't make sense to explain anything political to you.

My energy has always been abnormally low from health problems. So I could not go out and work full time. I had to priortize one or the other. But this is not the case for most people. My work is also very intellectually demanding and tiring. Don't know what that means.

It's actually an under-reaction. People are treating this whole thing as a joke or just a repeat of Trump 2016. People are not taking seriously that Trump will go full dictator mode. You think he's wouldn't dare. But you don't appreciate the monster that he is. He will absolutely go full dictator if he wins. How stupid can people be? He literally said it. He's not joking. If he wins he will never leave and the Republicans and the courts will rubberstamp all his crimes. You guys still think he's some kind of okay guy. He's a criminal dictator. Pain and simple. This is what happens when you do false equivalency: "Oh, Trump and Biden are both lairs, all the same." No, they are totally different beasts. If you keep doing false equivalency you will end up electing a dictator as though he were a normal politician.

Yes, that's where the real trouble is. The polls paint a grim picture.

In fact, the extreme right blocked Biden's border bill. Typical right-wing projection and BS.

As I said, the US needs to back off Russia's doorstep.

I've gone out for long periods of time. Once you're in the groove and build up momemtum and it's your full-time job, it's not so hard. But I can't get inside Owen's head so I could be wrong.

I don't see Ukraine as existential. The US has way too much influence in that region where it doesn't belong. The US is overreaching and causing needless trouble for itself. Backing off with NATO is the wisest course of action. There is no threat to the US or NATO from Russia. That is paranoia.

Never cite national polls, they are irrelevant. You must only look at polls in swing stages.

Owen in an introvert. Or so he says. Of course pickup is designed for extroverts.
