Who the f knows?!
Could be a hundred factors.
Making sense of every degenerate and wacko in the world is too hard a job. I can barely make sense of me.

Then why do many psychopaths torture and abuse animals as children?
That is a classic psychopath trait.
Well, to realize the highest degrees of God and Consciousness you will have to integrate everything you regard as evil.
This is one of the top reasons why so few people reach the deep levels of comprehension of God that I have reached.
You can't understand Love unless you can drop the notion of evil and all human morality. It's very counter-intuitive because humans expect God to fit their human ideas of morality and goodness.
If you are a serious philosopher at some point you will have to ask the question: Why would God create monkey torture videos? See, no Christian or atheist can answer that. Every human is stumped by the question, because they don't understand, because they haven't bothered to do the work to understand it.
And my job is to help humans understand it.

Of course. The only reason to hate Trump is that he keeps doing his evil without any remorse.
If he would have the honesty to admit he is wrong, all could be forgiven.

2-4% of the population are psychopaths.
I don't watch such things.
And having an emotional reaction to such things is not a mistake.

That's exactly wrong.
They feel happy. A psychopath can murder his own mother and later that day go out to the pub with friends to a party and enjoy himself.
That's what it means to be a psychopath. They don't feel guilt or shame. That's why they are so dangerous. They are not like you at all.
A crocodile feels no guilt or shame for eating your mother.

I have never been opposed to porn or jerking off. I've also never had a problem with it. It can be done in moderation in a healthy way. But many people here seem to have problems with it. It's gonna vary from person to person.

Anyone who says that God or Truth is unchanging, isn't very conscious.
That's not serious God-Realization.
Brahman is always dreaming.
The problem is that extremely few people understand what Brahman is. Mostly what you hear is people parroting ideas they heard, not a genuine understanding.
Brahman is fluid like the ocean. An infinite ocean of dreams.

Studying is not studies.
The notion that you can develop a proper understanding of things through "studies" is one of the stupidest pseudo-intellectual myths in modern culture.

It's not bold at all.
ADD has risen a lot in the last 50 years due to chemicals and bad food.
One of my doctor's entire practices is treating kids with ADD simply with heavy metal detox. And they reverse their ADD. So it's definitely related to chemical toxicity. Maybe not 100% of the time, but some significant %.
Chemical toxins are a big deal. Kids get plenty of it via traditional vaccines alone. Traditional docs ignore it. You need a really good holistic doc.

From what I've studied (which isn't too much) it seems like a real disorder commonly caused by toxins, chemicals, bad diet, and other such factors.

An update: Destiny and I are planning a face to face conversation date, and likewise with Peter Boghossian, but Peter is out of the country until Feb 2025, so that convo will happen in about 6 months. The Destiny one should be much sooner.
Cool things in the pipeline.

God created darkness. God created rape. You can't escape that through any amount of mental acrobatics.
God created rape. No way around that unless you deny rape exists.
Rape exists absolutely.
You chose to create rape.
Not only am I saying God created rape, I am saying YOU created rape. No one else. You.
So you have that to face.

No, that's not what I mean by existential truth.
Evil is imaginary. That's the existenial insight you are missing.
Because that is what is existentially true.
Of course evil is love.
It must be. Because everything is One.
No. God literally invented rape.
Again, you are fixated on human survival.
I am not talking about what is good or bad for human survival. That is irrelevant here.
Sure. But so what? This did nothing to increase your understanding of reality.
It's as if we are having a philosophical discussion and you tell me you need to take a shit really bad. Okay, go take a shit. But you have made no progress in philosophy.

Frankly, Dan might just be a classic anti-semite, Jews-run-the-world brained.
But at this point I'll take it cause someone has to call out Zionist lies, propaganda, and devilry.
Horseshoe theory strikes again! 
It's just amazing Dan's double-standard about not trusting people who lie to him. He refuses to trust Zionists because they lie, but not Trump? Israel is bad for doing Israel First, but not America?
Lolz

Solipism is not a thing you "buy into". Either you are conscious that you imagine everything or you are not.

Fortunately humans are imaginary and you are the one and only God

It's a hoax.
Everyone who speaks of no-mind is using mind.
You can have short periods of no-mind, but you can't live from that place.

This is bad. RFK voters are gonna add to Trump.
RFK is dispicable.

There is always only one thing: Consciousness. It takes on various states.

Yes I relate to that
But also notice if you were to be alone for a long time you might actually desire to be with people again and miss them
At least I'm like that I don't know if you can live alone forever in some desert or not

I think if Elon took the narcissism test he would score pretty high.
But maybe it's just good ole fashioned ego.

The biggest thing will be values alignment. Find friends whose values align well with yourself and then friendship will be pretty easy if you invest energy into it.

That's creepy and repulsive.
Writing poems is not gonna get you a girl.
If you don't want girls or sex, then do whatever you want. But if you want girls, then stop acting like you're too cool for school.

I think one of the most profound discoveries of my life is that human interaction does not really produce happiness. It can be a nice experience, but it’s ultimately an impermanent fleeting experience, and it doesn’t really fundamentally make me feel any better than if I didn’t have it. In fact, just being alone in my own awareness is far more satisfying than having to play human. All human conversation is also usually about past, future, problems, and pop culture, it really drags me into concepts, thinking, meaning making, and judgment, which all really produces quite a bit of unhappiness and obscure being. Playing human just ultimately feels like a chore, I was just wondering if anyone else could relate?

What are you smoking?
Of course they haven't. Pornstar sex is super shallow.
You're not gonna enjoy sex as a pornstar because you're gonna be too busy dealing with the logistics of the shoot. You would probably be too nervous to get hard. Don't envy pornstars. Their ability to enjoy sex is probably very low.
Sex feels amazing to the extent that it is rare. As soon as you make it common place it loses most of its appeal. It's like eating a bag of sugar. That's not the best way to enjoy food.
