narcissists rarely if ever admit they are narcissists, the whole point of having NPD is that you have almost no self awareness, empathy and you are always seeing yourself as perfect, so why would you ever need to admit or ask for help

you have to see it from the hosts point of view too, his whole career is on the line and he knows that albeit subconsciously, the more defensive he gets the safer his career and even life, Egypts population is 90% Muslim.

honestly because we are becoming less selfish as we go up the spiral, why is it right for someone else to suffer just so i can pay less taxes? what if i became really sick? would i want someone to help me? definitely

because some people think it should be

i wouldnt suggest acupuncture for a serious virus, just as i wouldnt suggest aspirin to heal a brain tumor, it depends on what the issue is ofc notice that a vaccine is a natural medicine btw ;] it is complex, i love me some complexity

thats exactly what struck me recently, the forest is like a giant apothecary, if you know what to look for, most of our commonly used medicines are actually extracts from plants and/or synthetic substitutions that act similarily

Science/medicine going into Stage Green and Yellow is gonna be an interesting time... Imagine 100 years from now when something like Reiki is a common practice in every hospital ?

touching video... :’)

https://nccih.nih.gov/health/acupuncture/introduction apparently its catching on

not addictive for me, i dont like it theres a huge part of the population that get negative effects from THC, i think im one of them

I agree, and science doesnt believe in anecdotal evidence its impossible to talk to someone ”rational” about it. ”I used acupuncture to heal my migraines” ”Wheres the evidence?” ”Uh... I feel better.” ”Thats just your feelings bro, not facts, acupuncture is woo.” ”but... ah screw it”

the smaller your brain the more you have to compensate, so yeah, for some

ah! the traditional herbal medicine!

Pricking dolls is a kind of bastardization of real Voodoo, they dont really inflict suffering on others in trad. Voodoo.

Great long and juicy episodes!

i guess its some remnant from Stage Purple magical thinking... is there any explanation for this fairly random behaviour?

tell me more???

hm... this is apparently from a christian perspective? oh well... try to be yellow and openminded and use what piece of knowledge you find useful?

Rings true from both sides doesnt it? Thread? Pointless.

why do you think ascetics go into caves, forests and deserts, its not just our modern society, its always been this way

Science, since people must do it, is a socially embedded activity. It progresses by hunch, vision, and intuition. Much of its change through time does not record a closer approach to absolute truth, but the alteration of cultural contexts that influence it so strongly. Facts are not pure and unsullied bits of information; culture also influences what we see and how we see it. Theories, moreover, are not inexorable inductions from facts. The most creative theories are often imaginative visions imposed upon facts; the source of imagination is also strongly cultural. [Stephen Jay Gould, introduction to "The Mismeasure of Man," 1981]

this hits home...

he just wanted to see the truth, unfortunately he didnt get high enough
