  1. The thing that gets me is that it starts at 1 to represent you, because there is only 1 you. Then it ends at absolute infinity after exhausting all the other categories of infinities. Then Leo says each one of us is absolute infinity. Does it loop back around? Is that the strange loop?
  2. That’s not a change in right-wing media, that’s a change in who occupies the White House. Their message is consistently biased to the right.
  3. In the context of life/death duality, life is the dangerous one. Death is the cessation of danger because it’s the cessation of life. If you reincarnate eternally, than you face danger eternally. If you have one life, the danger is very limited and has a much greater impact because you only get one chance. Your level of development doesn’t matter, ultimately.
  4. solipsism = self is everything Leo’s teaching = Self is everything Sounds similar on the surface, but it requires transcending the ego. Unless I misunderstood something.
  5. I’m glad he finally has some capacity to affect change rather than just being ‘that guy’ in the Senate who’s a contrarian to his colleagues.
  6. That’s among the list of possible descriptions, sure. It’s not the one I’d choose.
  7. That does sound very closed-minded. Sorry that happened.
  8. Well, we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy...
  9. Ground News will show you a news story headline, all the news sources for that story, and the bias of those sources. So you can look at the same thing from different points of view, if you wish.
  10. Clinton was the last president with a balanced budget. There isn’t a realistic way to balance it again that I’m aware of. As a country, we’re basically the stereotype of a person with no awareness of budgeting at all who just relies on a credit card for everything. But our credit limit doesn’t exist, it seems. So it keeps being ignored. So it keeps getting worse.
  11. If you don’t like a business, don’t use their product or service.
  12. If you were a business owner and someone had been shouting hateful bullshit through a megaphone in your shop and drawing disruptive crowds, wouldn’t you kick them out?
  13. Well, that is a list of things to go through for sure! Sounds like you’ve made great progress, though! Keep going and see it through to the end, you got this!
  14. That’s awesome! The Sun helps grow the food, and the Sun helps cook the food. No meat, and no fossil fuels. Though I’m sure the remainder of electricity on the campus is derived from some nearby power plant, it’s still good to reduce dependence on it by a bit.
  15. I’ve seen many people say they’re apart of something. Oh, well...
  16. Hold on, he needs to get the Viking cosplay outfit first.
  17. Alas...‘Murrica! Gun control legislation would be a confirmation of conservatives’ fears about the country heading toward communism, and the backlash would be massive.
  18. You know, Trump may be on such a level of privilege that he’s never had to use a shopping cart in his life.
  19. In which sort of political dialogue would you like to engage? Do you have a topic in mind?
