You could try show him how the religious people literally didn't recognise that the person standing Infront of them was the fulfilment of every theoretical thing they'd ever learned. I didn't get it at the time but looking back it clicks pretty well. The fulfilment of religious promises can look pretty wacky and outlandish. Religious people are like a treasure hunter who worships the map. Another decent analogy is someone having some kind of device that has a special purpose and people can see it has a special purpose so they protect it like a precious ornament and put their faith in it. Then it becomes a sacred and holy ornament and they make a religion around it called the order of the holy ornament. Then after centuries of worshipping the holy ornament some random person walks in, grabs it, is kinda rough with it and gives it a shake by their ear and figures out it's actual purpose, needless to say to the horror of the worshipers. This is more twisted than it sounds. For the religious person there is literally no greater news than to find that everything you've ever studied is actually real and happening before their eyes. This is only emphasised by a hundred with things such as god and salvation. It's actually real, but they'll mistake it for insanity or witchcraft or some other bs (which is also understandable given the absurd and chaotic look all this stuff has). The most bewildering part is this; a religious person will be sitting, staring the fulfilment of their lifes work, hopes and dreams directly in the eye and will refuse it in favour of their tradition because it is what is familiar. Even though their tradition is pointing at it!!

@Leo Gura quick question bro, would group think be inherently bad (bad in the regular sense, like harmful)? Because I grew up quite deeply blue and had to learn how to think more explicitly about green ideals like anti-racism and anti-sexism or anti-homophobia etc. of course it's better to have a realisation rather than just parroting...but I mean some group think is essentially unavoidable without thousands or tens or hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. So some group think is better than others? Like, not often, but I would find myself parroting some things sometimes and I just trust that they're right because they're spoken by someone who've I've found to be correct with other things. Wouldn't do it much, but better than parroting the kkk..?

The book "Materialism is Baloney" is good for this. Something I've realised is, because I myself, like many who are attracted to Leo's content, didn't require my mind to be freed up or pried open as much as I needed someone who's head was as far up in the sky as my own, but who was calibrated and coordinated so I could reign my mind in. the difficulty with these kinds of leoites is that we tend to prefer airy fairy stuff and thus aren't familiar with how archaic established intellectual organisations truly are. I have little interest in academia and I don't think I'll like it any time soon, but from what I have heard it's super technical and bogged down in loads of mumbo jumbo. Like fighting with rocks and sticks. Some of the most clueless people in the world are blessed with the lack of knowledge of how broken the world actually is. Or how ineffective it is at just doing things. It's the classic simplicity of a kid beating the intelligence of feared giant.

Weed=Enemy. Weed + psychedelics = double enemy (unless your using the psychedelics to get yourself off the weed by exposing yourself to the raw suffering). Stop smoking weed. Your welcome.

For me learning how to dominate in a world of stupidity is valuable. Trusting God for the most part is the central power source. I've had to learn from a young age that being right isn't enough, you need to be heavy with it, otherwise you can't get traction at all and there is always a line of 100 fools waiting to tell you that your wrong. It becomes less about being right and more about recognising how to handle an endless ocean of dumbasses.

People are attracted to what they don't got

Also incase the sarcasm is unclear, what I'm actually saying is...there will be many retards who are in positions of power and authority who try to fuck you and tell you to suck it up. Simply inform them that they can go and fuck themselves repeatedly and continue fucking themselves every day for the rest of their lives. Riding into the sunset, alls well that ends well.

I'll give you the advice professionals once gave me, best way to get rid of suicidal levels of suffering? Just let it go pal be sweet in the morning. Stop ruminating. Boom. Entire situation fixed. God, looking back...these guys were secretly geniuses the whole time!!!

If you smoke too much of it it can cause schizophrenia... Or symptoms that you might imagine a schizophrenic would experience

Op, it'll take more than a few alliances to overpower the west. West will likely remain leaders in infrastructure, wealth and general dominance. I take a more qualitative perspective. Numbers aside, the USA is around the half way mark on the list of countries ranked for mental illness. The UK is the second worst in the same scale. It actually baffles me how such massive world names could go so wrong. But I did contemplate and arrived at the following insight: prosperity breeds complacency. It's sad to see countries that used to be bright and fun just devouring themselves from the inside. I have no doubt it's just a necessary part of the journey that must be passed through and that there will be better times, but I mean... god damn, the entire fucking thing is rotten and stinking and fucking vulgar. Unworthy of being inhabited by homeless people. In fact, the homeless people who do live in the west probably avoid the majority of the sewage by flying under the radar of the sewage masters. I think the west has just got bored and said "guys, guys, come here. I have a new idea, let's fuck up the entire country. Why you ask? No reason. LOL."

Op, first one got me
