Logical fallacy, just because repression wasn't perfect it doesn't mean the alternative is better. The alternative could very well be worse. Often the best move is to do nothing at all. Legalization will cause the consumption of weed to explode through the roof like it did in Canada. Consumption will 10x, it is not a win to Legalize It if you care about reducing consumption. The claim is weed manufacturing will produce healthier weed while as a trade-off 10x more people are going to smoke it. If cigarettes were illegal It would reduce cigarette addiction 100x. This is just a win. This happens to be a straw man that you've constructed because your sidestepping the problem of the rapid increase in weed consumption that will follow legalization. Just isn't true, this is Cherry Picked, the effects of weed are not minor at all, it has a strong impact on a person's life and anxiety levels especially when it's done as a teenager. You need to be more Vigilant about your own epistemology and not fall into the Trap of confirmation bias by citing studies, An epistemic wizard will carefully incorporating multiple epistemic approaches and combining them all together. It will make it a lot easier for people to get addicted now that it's legal. So again your sidestepping the problem. You can get better social workers, psychotherapists and all of that good stuff without legalizing drugs.

@Juns maybe the video wasn't that great I'm not sure but his writing on corruption was pure gold. Insights this profound can't be found on the internet.

Redirect the river of corruption instead of trying to stop it. Working with corruption instead of fighting it is actually the smarter move. Here's why: People are more corrupt than we admit. This is just reality. Fighting against this directly usually fails. Instead, smart people can: Build businesses that work within corrupt systems Make money from these businesses Then use that money for good things that raise consciousness For example: You could start an online gambling business. People will gamble anyway. Run it more ethically than others would Make lots of money from human addiction and weakness Use those profits to fund better education, spiritual growth, or community programs This is like redirecting a river instead of trying to stop it. The corruption is the river. You don't fight the river - you build channels that direct it where you want it to go. The idealists who refuse to touch "dirty industries" end up with no money and no power to change anything. Meanwhile, the most corrupt people run everything. This isn't about being corrupt yourself. It's about being smart enough to work with reality as it is - people are selfish, addicted, and corrupt - and use that reality to fund something better. Mankind is way more evil than it admits. Stop pretending otherwise. This is why people like Trump win while idealists fail. The corruption is so profound that only by working within it can you actually change anything. This is advanced thinking, not naive idealism. Stop fighting the demonic rhinoceros and learn to redirect it instead. @Leo Gura what do you think of this idea specifically?

Idealism itself becomes corrupt: The historical pattern of idealistic revolutions that ultimately fail or become corrupted is the most damning evidence supporting our thesis. Make no mistake about it: every revolution in human history eventually corrupts itself. Always. The French Revolution beheaded aristocrats only to crown Napoleon. The Russian Revolution overthrew the Tsar only to install Stalin. The Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah only to elevate the Ayatollahs. This sounds so biased and unfair, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. Mankind's corruption is so profound that even the most idealistic revolutionaries become the very monsters they sought to destroy. The corruption is inscribed into our souls. Che Guevara's face on t-shirts while his revolution rots from within. Mao's portrait watching over a hyper-capitalist China. This is not simplistically saying revolution is wrong—I'm saying something advanced and non-partisan. The corruption is so profound that idealism itself becomes weaponized, becomes the very vehicle of further corruption. -Claude Assisted

Technological advancement and material progress continue despite moral stagnation because they harness mankind's corruption rather than trying to overcome it. This works precisely because technology doesn't require moral improvement—it requires greed, competition, nationalism, fear, and status-seeking. Mankind builds iPhones and nuclear weapons with the same corrupt heart. The corruption is so profound that our greatest innovations emerge from war departments and profit-obsessed corporations. Progressives counter-intuitively go wrong in believing technology will save us morally, not understanding that technology itself is morally neutral at best and actively amplifies our corruption at worst. It's funny because progressives are portrayed as technological optimists, but in fact they underestimate how technology strengthens mankind's corrupt impulses while appearing to advance civilization. Our shiny gadgets mask our rotting souls. -Claude Assisted

The point of this system is that one president is elected for each party, so you have two presidents. Both of them keep each other in check and require consensus to get anything done. Would this work? 🤨 Another thing that you could possibly do is have a anti-corruption government section. Is well funded, and whose job is to prevent corruption in every possible domain of government. Which will likely never work because the anti-corruption section will be corrupt. But it’s worth a try. Lol

So he removed the two term limit and that’s why he’s a dictator now while all his predecessors weren’t corrupt enough to do that

Why separate feeling from God’s Will crystallized as a tree? There was a motivation to crystallize itself as a tree which is that it felt like it? God feels like being a tree. My finite human will is very limited and 99% of my body moves on its own by its own will, it feels like it? it appears to me that it’s raw feeling crystallized as a tree. It’s made of the “tree feeling”. Why did two atoms come together, because they’re both made a feelings which is the will of God. The explanation you gave I could understand but you’re removing feeling from the equation and I don’t see why? Can you be more precise of why feeling is completely removed from the will of God and why they’re not identical? -
I used to weigh almost 300 pounds and now I weigh 160 and it’s impossible for me to gain weight Your goal should be to build muscle and become athletic and by doing so you’ll build something you can’t lose If you focus on trying to lose weight you’re not gaining something permanent Also high-quality sleep, avoiding weight gain toxic chemicals and eating high protein is the easiest way. And if you’re not sleeping properly the body gets stuck into a fat retention state

Most people that are chronically obese live in heavily scented homes with air fresheners, creating hormonal problems that make them obese.

yes, Sora is better, one of the reasons is, you can see the top images being generated that are high-quality and remix Remix is one of the more powerful features You could also see the prompts people use to generate higher quality images, so it’s good for learning and adapting good prompts to new purposes

The feminine wants to dissolve and what happens when you dissolve is you bathe in pure feelings, it is the opposite of structure Masculine wants to climb, build and create and what you get is actualized.org the highest truth, everything coherently brought together When you read feminine spirituality, it is very metaphorical poetic and it’s communicating a feeling to drive you deeper into a dissolved state. All the words the feminine uses has nothing to do with the meaning behind him, but the feeling behind them, which is why it is very loose. Words like frequency, vibration, energy, these have nothing to do with any tangible thing besides feelings, it is the language of feelings and how we are entangled in reality Leo’s does the exact opposite, which is to bring you into coherence, every word is precise. I’m looking for how feelings integrate coherently into a model of reality -

@Natasha Tori Maru that’s pretty good for something you figured out during one run! Haha This video is a clear example of the issue. I’m trying to understand, Leo describes Will as a force essentially and never is the word feeling used. But how could you say the word Will without mentioning the word feeling at any point? Examples: Think of something that you believe to be true, it’s a feeling inside you that’s assessing whether that feels true Is the Earth flat? You’ll have some intuitive ideas of what that answer is and it’s backed by a feeling. TRUTY FEELING. So a feeling is binding you to all of these mental structures. If you stare at your finger and move it, it was a feeling that moved your finger. That’s what Will is. Will is a feeling, if you look at your finger and don’t feel like it you’re not gonna move it. Why did two atoms come together? It’s not this soulless infinite intelligence. Infinite Will brought it together, which is a feeling. The rock Falls because gravity is a feeling. The same feeling and Will that moves you is what moves everything. That’s what I’m speculating. There should be an entire video where the word feeling is used 1000 times metaphysically. But I’m not finding it anywhere. This is happening because the concept of Will is defined as a force without feeling. And it makes no sense. -

The metaphor you’re making is that God is a force of nature, and it simply organizes itself. I’m not very satisfied with this answer because it doesn’t incorporate Will into it. Will of god. I need to see how it fits. The hurricane is in motion because infinite will or the will of God I think masculinity is to organize everything into a structured intelligent framework, I do think he integrated feeling, but it’s not clearly defined. I want clearer definition the explanation I received so far doesn’t really satisfy me. The feminine doesn’t integrate anything into a coherent model or structure of anything, it’s more about chaos. To build a model of everything is a masculine function, but you can incorporate all of the feminine in your model. -
Alien from stranger planet (what R this?) Bob the builder (we can fix you) Arthur (childhood, imagination) Hero from Movie Hero 2002 (self sacrifice) Black monolith (the absolute) Inuyasha (romantic hopeless) All happening in a old farmhouse, surrounded by pasture and cornfields out in the middle of nowhere — but why do we identify with these characters? How was it a reflection of us? 😅

@Judy2 you gotta focus on things that work for you by trial and error You’ll naturally like more and benefit more from some of these practises than others, no one is good at all of them For example, I can’t focus on my breath because it causes issues, I have an easier time focussing on nothingness It’s all personal preference
