I prefer the real thing. Not the ways around. New tech means new rules. Who gonna set the rules? Consumers of virtual reality? Now these massive techs are in decline and they will reflect even more survival agendas. I am not aganist tech but who will set the rules? I think whole situation of Covid is a good example of a new tech and it's rules.

If you haven't watched the movie Whiplash I recommend it.

I am not from USA, but biggest difference I see is; dems for centralized digital currency meanwhile while reps are for sound backed money. Other than that they both profit from war. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501010190/us-politicians-make-a-fortune-from-trading-stocks-in-office-its-time-they-were-stopped/

Spiritutality is a label. Rape is reality.

How about this solution; let other athletes vote it. If you wanna compete with males ask them if they okay with that girl, let them vote like democracy. Same goes for womans vote that person and see if they want it. -
This is not a text, but a part of our history, a document on art's role on our species.

You are looking it one sided. It doesn't matter modern or not, archaic ideologies are always here, for scientific minded people immortality is one of it. I am not saying it's bad or good but that is the trajectory we are moving along with. Yeah as globe next generation(90s) is the key in our future but we need a diversity among them or we will endup in sameness in all decisions. -
For those interested in economy here is non-biased views of what is going on at big scale.

That was a very good question. Why you are in that situation?

What is your experience?

So she wants it that's great. I would assume she is open for any kind of exploration and clearly that is a ''demand'' from her side. She is probably frustrated with her past time, I think instead of focusing topics you should lead and manipulate her in good ways. I would say make her explore herself. You would be playing the therapist role already if you stick or avoid topics. That's my two cents.

Quotes from Goethe: Belief is not the beginning of knowledge - it is the end. If you live critizing people , you won't have time to love them. Doesn't suprise me that Christ our Lord prefered to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself. The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation. The highest cannot be spoken it can only be acted. Life belongs to the living , and he who lives must be prepared for changes. Love does not rule; but it trains, and that is more. There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings. None are hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. True love is love that stays constant for ever, whatever it's fortune; whetever requited or scored, filled or sent empty away. Self knowledge comes from knowing other men. It is in self-limitaion that a master first show himself.

Do Not Love Half Lovers Khalil Gibran Do not love half lovers Do not entertain half friends Do not indulge in works of the half talented Do not live half a life and do not die a half death If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are finished Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent If you accept, then express it bluntly Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half a drink will not quench your thirst Half a meal will not satiate your hunger Half the way will get you no where Half an idea will bear you no results Your other half is not the one you love It is you in another time yet in the same space It is you when you are not Half a life is a life you didn't live, A word you have not said A smile you postponed A love you have not had A friendship you did not know To reach and not arrive Work and not work Attend only to be absent What makes you a stranger to them closest to you and they strangers to you The half is a mere moment of inability but you are able for you are not half a being You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life

Yeah enjoying and discussing with group once in a while... I rarely drink alone, like once a year. Conversation is essential for my drinking activity. It's a spiritual experience for me.

Excerpt from Timaeus by Plato c.428–c.347 BC Thereupon, one of the priests, who was of very great age, said, ‘O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children, and there is never an old man who is an Hellene.’ Solon, hearing this, said, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I mean to say,’ he replied, ‘that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. And I will tell you the reason of this: there have been, and there will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes. ‘There is a story which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father’s chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now, this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the earth and in the heavens, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth recurring at long intervals of time: when this happens, those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the seashore; and from this calamity the Nile, who is our never-failing saviour, saves and delivers us. ‘When, on the other hand, the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, among you herdsmen and shepherds on the mountains are the survivors, whereas those of you who live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea; but in this country neither at that time nor at any other does the water come from above on the fields, having always a tendency to come up from below, for which reason the things preserved here are said to be the oldest. ‘The fact is, that wherever the extremity of winter frost or of summer sun does not prevent, the human race is always increasing at times, and at other times diminishing in numbers. And whatever happened either in your country or in ours, or in any other region of which we are informed – if any action which is noble or great, or in any other way remarkable has taken place, all that has been written down of old, and is preserved in our temples; whereas you and other nations are just being provided with letters and the other things which States require; and then, at the usual period, the stream from heaven descends like a pestilence, and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education; and thus you have to begin all over again as children, and know nothing of what happened in ancient times, either among us or among yourselves.’

Sailing to Byzantium WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees, —Those dying generations—at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect. An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing For every tatter in its mortal dress, Nor is there singing school but studying Monuments of its own magnificence; And therefore I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Byzantium. O sages standing in God's holy fire As in the gold mosaic of a wall, Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre, And be the singing-masters of my soul. Consume my heart away; sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is; and gather me Into the artifice of eternity. Once out of nature I shall never take My bodily form from any natural thing, But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make Of hammered gold and gold enamelling To keep a drowsy Emperor awake; Or set upon a golden bough to sing To lords and ladies of Byzantium Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

When You Are Old WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

He used one very good word '' culture of endless money'' That thing is endless and that makes nobody owns it. -
Making this planet better has nothing to with spreading non duality. All Abrahamic religions one way or the other clearly states God is one. Those are popular and arguably fine religions. So far they failed. We can't make our way through presenting some popular dogma. As Jefferson pointed out : “An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.”
