I just read some article that says how Ireland is going into another lockdown because of a rise of cases. Now, I know that protecting people's lives is very important but, yet again, the Irish Economy is getting worse and worse. They are already in a deficit for this year and they suspect an even greater deficit next year. What is your opinion on a new lockdown and do you think that it is necessary at this time? Should the schools close?

I'm sorry. I meant schools should go online. I didn't phrase that correctly. Yes, I mean ROI. i just say Ireland because it is more convenient. A deficit in the budget is never good. The EU will help ROI but for how long? Usually, they give out loans so I don't like the prospect of returning all that money through taxes.

The only problem with this is that schools are apparently going to still be open. That means, nearly all non-essential shops will close leaving businesses dead. There is also a load of people that don't want to wear a mask. There was even a protest in Dublin regarding the fact that masks are "dangerous".

Lol. I never knew that ?

That would be a good idea for a video.

I would like this

After watching this video, a couple of things need to be said: The police dealt reasonably well with Brooks until the moment of handcuffing. There was even some small talk about when his mom died, where he was, etc... When he resisted handcuffing, the police shouted out loud "you're going to get tased". This was a warning for him to stop. But he still resisted arrest. While he was wrestling the police on the floor, you can see that the police guys were probably losing it. The police are pictured as people who deal with people easily and arrest them without any problems. They definitely don't want people to see them being wrestled to the floor and pushed around. That hurts their ego. He then runs away and the police guy fires three shots. I would not concentrate too much on how many shots were fired because they were fired so quickly. He didn't think about it I think it is unfortunate that the guy was killed. From this video, he looked like a nice guy up until the arrest. But he did take the taser and this could be very dangerous. He could potentially do a lot of damage with it. But, in my opinion, if I was that cop and I was wrestled to the floor by some drunk person who is resisting arrest, I would definitely not be calm and relaxed. I am not saying that I would kill him but I am just saying that I would not be relaxed and peaceful. But I do think that the police man could have shot him in the leg or any other body part that would not kill him. But then again, I never handled a gun in my life. I don't know is it even easy to aim at a person while he is running. This situation is way more complex than the way the news and the protesters are showing it. Also, I do not think that he killed him because he is black. The police guy would have shot the guy even if he was white, asian, arabian,black, religious, non-religious, male, female, transgender...

I don't think that there are stage red atheists. I think that, if you are stage red and don't believe in god, you just call yourself a non-believer in god. To be an atheist would require more knowledge and nuance which stage red does not have.

I agree with the perspective that Leo has presented. The police go through some tough shit out there. I want to say something very important now. Imagine that this was a white man instead of a black man. If the police guy shot him, no one would have made such a fuss. But because he is black, the whole story gets turned on its head and now, it was apparently because he was black. P.s. i know that black people are dissrespected and they need more rights. It is evident. But we have to be objective here and look at the situation without bias

Well, that's what I was saying. However you turn it, the news topic will be subjective. I have not met any topic that was delivered in a non subjective fashion. The only way to make people aware of this is through educating them about this and similar problems. Everyone needs to think for themselves and realise what is happening. But this is extremely tough in practice and our mind is tricking us every fucking second of our life.

The news is objective when it shows a video of a guy getting shot or report on how it happened. But then it gets subjective when it starts pointing fingers at people and creating stories about what happened. The problem is that even if the news shows something objective and makes no subjective comment, you will interpret this situation subjectively. So if a guy gets shot, you will interpret this in your own way and this means that you have already turned the objective news topic into a subjective one. But even if you don't, the news still sees this situation subjectively and will make comments on it, meaning that you will probably not find an objective news topic out there.

I am not at stage yellow, but i know that yellow sees that the systems that were invented are all subjective. I think that includes the systems that they develop. There is no such thing as an objective system

Yellow understands that morality is subjective and not objective.

I don't think that the US should return to stage blue. Society needs to evolve. Blue would bring the US down as it is already leaning towards orange and green, although there is still some blue. Blue would just sweep problems under the rug and deny rascism towards black people.

Don't worry about it. He wouldn't have made it to Germany without being caught by the police.

Wow I would love to do that ??

All stages do this. Not only blue

Indoctrination is one of the main reasons. When a person is born, he/she is fed with belief systems that the previous generations passed on. And that basically continues until the person finds out that they are being indoctrinated.

Which youtube channel(s) do you use to listen to them?

Happy birthday Leo. You are an amazing person who changed my life for the good. Thank you for everything! P.s. Treat yourself for your birthday by fapping ?

That's really good. Even though i am not part of any religion, i will be fasting during the islamic ramadan. I want to see what a different state looks like

Can fasting bring us into a different state of consciousness?

Does the level of consciousness stay when you "die" and reincarnate in your next lifetime. E.g. when a hippie "dies", will he be reincarnated into something more conscious or will he be reincarnated into a nazi

We cannot fully solve the problem of covid 19 without a vaccine. This is quite unfortunate as many people will lose jobs and many businesses will go bankrupt but that's where the country comes in. Our countries must help people who have financial difficulties now. That would be better than what Trump is doing now

Hey guys! I was contemplating today about an interestong question. Where would you peg conspiracy theorists on the spiral? I am kinda confused because I see them as skeptics and that would mean that they are orange. But I still don't know is that true. What do you think. I am especially talking about conspiracy theorists about covid 19. Thanks
