Spiritual work can never be without some risk. There is risk even with meditation. I cannot eliminate all risk for people in this work. If one expects 100% risk free, then simply don't attend. My job is to handle reasonable and common risk, not every possible fluke. All the risks will be discussed in detail with attendees, so there will be no surprises.

We can't know everything for sure. We are making educated guessed and erring on the side of caution. Especially on this first retreat I want to be extra cautious and not take people who need mind-stabilizing medications just to get through their day. That is too risky. I would rather rule someone out than harm them. Taking psychoactive substances is not suitable for everyone. Even weed is not for everyone. Not particularly. A trip to Europe is not too expensive. Will be offset if a few more people show up. I'm not worried about the minor cost difference.

I will discuss that individually with those who sign up. Obviously we will do an analysis of any medications an attendee is taking to make sure there aren't any obvious problems. There are no obvious contraindications. The chemical has been studied by science and is generally safe. But we obviously don't want to mix it with SSRIs or anti-psychotics.

There is a lot care behind it. You are assuming things. Just because you don't like how I worded one sentence doesn't mean care is missing. Every potential problem is being seriously considered. There are still months left to make preparations, which I will be doing. Not everything is solved yet. This takes time.

You never know who the problematic people are. You should be glad that I take security seriously rather than expecting good behavior from everyone. Just because someone shows up at my retreat doesn't mean he isn't dangerous. If you are not a scoundrel then you have nothing to fear. Security is there for worst case scenarios. Of course most people will be good.

He will probably even be able to fool a sizable chunk of the leftist anti-Zionist people to vote for him. There is certainly a hunger now for anti-Zionism both on the right and left. Tucker Carlson has tapped into their hunger on the right.

They are not going to be allowed to record other people. This is a private event. I might make some videos of it just to give a sneak peak as a promo. But the whole thing is not going to be a recorded.

I am considering that factor and will take precautions. But that doesn't require having a full-time lawyer.

Probably not. But I will at some point make a course that covers the same advanced material.

It is not root beer.

Who is Sam Hyde? Never heard of him.

I am creating my own way. Their retreats are significantly different from mine. A lawyer can't save you if you are doing illegal things. And a nurse cannot save you from a bad trip. I will provide water and a bit of snacks, but main meals you go buy yourself. Perhaps we can order something like pizza if you guys are down for eating that. But it is hard for me to accomodate everyone's tastes and dietary needs, which is why it's better to have people buy their own thing. Or perhaps pack a lunch for yourself. That is tough. What age are you?

Are you kidding? The anti-semite vote is huge. That's like half of MAGA. Depending on the district he runs in, he could win on that. He needs to pick a regressive district.

That is overkill.
