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. -

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. -

When you teach millions of people via the internet, relational closeness is precisely not possible. Notice that relational closeness only works because its scale is tiny. Otherwise you would quickly burn out trying go save every lost soul in the world. You can have emotional closeness or scale, but not both. Some teachers specialize in small scale one on one personalized work. Don't expect that from me. If you want that, find a therapist or guru. And, BTW, you will pay them thousands for that. -
That's not what dumb means in this case.

My role is to provide pure insights and understanding, not to personally counsel anyone. If you don't like that or want me to take on some broader role, then my work is not for you. My role is not that of a one on one guru. This should be obvious given the scale at which I teach. I get thousands of messages from people, many of them unhinged and nonsensical. I am not going to be guiding all these people one on one. And I have no moral qualms about it because that's not my role. My insights are offered on an as-is basis, like reading a philosophy book. The book promises you no support. Do with the book what you will. And if you can't handle that, stop reading philosophy books. Read the disclaimers on the Forum Guidelines. Those aren't just legal disclaimers, I really mean them. If this feels cold and unspiritual to you, consider that I am close to burn out just from doing what I currently do. So there will not be some personalized support for you here. You are on your own with my work. I am happy to get this clarified so you guys have the right expectations and no illusions about what I offer here. So I am very unfront about this. This work is 100% on you. If you decide to kill yourself, I will not come to save you. So proceed carefully. I am not your emotional support system. I only provide insights. -
He's a celerity tho. What do you expect him to do with his money? Give it all away? That wouldn't be socialism but more like saintliness. Him buying a Taycan is like you buying the cheapest car there is.

I don't really want to hassle of organizing meditation retreats. Meditate solo. You don't need to meditate in a herd. My meditation is getting very simple and bare bones. Just sit and focus on the fact that I am God. Health problems have kept me from doing yoga consistently. I also try to meditate more in everyday life, like if I am cooking, driving, or even if I'm out gaming. Gaming has been surprisingly meditative for me as I have to completely shut off my mind when I game. I try to game from a state of no-mind. -
Not sure but you should have already been vaccinated against earlier variants so don't use omicron as an excuse.

Good reporting. Yeah, it is concerning. What would be nice is if they compared heavy metals in commercial juices vs juicing apples or carrots or oranges yourself. We need much better data and research on this.

Covid produces a lot of side-effects. Focusing on myocarditis alone is not the right measure because it's not holistic. What you really need to do is tally up all the side-effects people tend to get from Covid vs the vaccine. And if you do that you'll see that the side-effects of Covid are much worse and more numerous -- by orders of magnitude.

No That's cause they haven't spent their entire lives contemplating such things whereas I have. I'm also much more sensitive to psychedelics than normal people. 2-3x more sensitive. I haven't done one in a while due to Covid and health issues. But I wanna do some more. They would be much more powerful for me now. It works the opposite of what you suggest. It's not that meditation retreat increase my psychedelics but that psychedelics increase my meditation retreats. At least for me. -
Why do big tits work even when you know she's using them on you?

If you say so.

It's like playing with a dog or child. You don't try to be all smart or sophisticated about it. Playing with her is what gets you laid. Being serious is what gets you friendzoned. They don't call guys "players" for nothing Game just boils down to playful leading.

It's foolish to take Ivermectin when vaccines and boosters are so effective. Evidence on Ivermectin is spotty.

You have been given tons of warnings about the dangers of psychedelics. Don't act dumb. You know the dangers.
