@Princess Arabia good point

Nothing surprising here. This is why it's important to treat people with respect, otherwise your child might end up dead one day.

It still baffles me how anyone with any sense could support this guy. "He's leading us to the brink of WW3. He's the most corrupt president in American history and it's not even close" This guy will say ANYTHING to "win". @Leo Gura Do you think he believes his own bullshit?

@integral I guess anything Trump says is true by definition LMAO

The perfect opportunity for Trump to pretend like he has any sort of genuine relationship with “god”. He probably didn’t even write that post.

Really? You think Elon and Trump are comparable in terms of level of ego-development? Elon doesn't seem to have stage red qualities, whereas you've said that Trump does. @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura so what are you specifically referring to when you call him shameless and ruthless? My understanding is that The reason why Tesla stock is so high is because people genuinely like the car, and that’s what made him rich. Not because he’s doing anything immoral?

I thought most of his success can be attributed to his genius-level aptitude in engineering. Or is it the case that he is mostly just a business man, and the genius engineering behind his companies can mostly be attributed to those working underneath him? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura how can someone as intelligent as Elon musk not see trump’s crooked character?

What is his movement? His own ego? @Leo Gura

@Princess Arabia Yup, the screenwriter behind this movie is also black. He went to my high school and we connected through the alumni network.

I know the screen writer behind this movie, but I've never seen it. @Princess Arabia

That sounds very unhealthy

how would you describe your style of game? @Leo Gura

haha, tell that to a goat. @Javfly33

@Javfly33 consciousness places limits on itself through genetic DNA. that's why you're human.

but the line of spiritual intelligence in Ken Wilber's model of growing up isn't? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura so are the multiple lines of intelligence -- what Ken wilber calls "growing up" -- basically genetic? what does growing through the spiral stages hinge on?

that's pretty obvious when you think about it. I mean basically any exceptional quality boils down to genetics first and foremost. @Leo Gura and yea, hard work matters but you're not going to achieve anything exceptional with hard work alone.

so you don't consider enlightenment a type of genius? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura Would you put Ken Wilber in the same tier of genius as Ralston? What about Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Osho, etc?

@Leo Gura if you knew academic philosophy wouldn’t lead you to the truth before you decided to switch majors, would you have switched?

That’s a bold statement to make. Tell that to the chair of Harvard’s philosophy department and see how they react. @Leo Gura what’s the goal of academic philosophy then? Is it just an entertaining mind game masked as serious academic work?

When you say that meditation is virtually useless, do you mean in terms of reaching the highest states of consciousness or generally speaking? @Leo Gura Like one can still benefit greatly from having an hour per day meditation practice even though it will never bring them to highest states of consciousness?
