What do you make of these studies, which seem to link damage from red meat mostly to processed meat? https://www.healthdata.org/research-article/health-effects-associated-consumption-unprocessed-red-meat-burden-proof-study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2885952/ It seems to me that these debates are are just way too binary and simplistic. Red meat is either “good” or “bad” for you. My thinking is that we need to consider more variables. Is it processed meat? How much meat? What’s the rest of your diet look like? Do you regularly exercise and are otherwise healthy? Etc

When this whole Twitter situation started, I didn't know much about it. I assumed Twitter would maybe have some moderation problems due to Elon's "free speech" stance, which could lead to further problems down the road. But if these numbers TYT is reporting are accurate, this is much, much worse for Twitter than some lax moderation. You are not going to hire back 88% of your employees any time fast and without serious cost. Who will even properly train them? The people who did their jobs won't even be there anymore. Perhaps Musk can still turn this around. He has accomplished some pretty incredible things in business that seemed impossible. But things are not looking good at the moment. We will have to continue watching.

If a country is under attack, it’s likely that they will jump at any excuse for people to come to their aid. So I don’t see reasonable evidence for Ukraine to purposefully launch an attack against Poland. That does seem highly Machiavellian and conspiratorial. But it also does not surprise me that Zelensky immediately blamed Russia. That is his bias. He is fighting a war against Russia. And if Russia did attack Poland, that could be good for his efforts and Ukraine as it would likely rally NATO. -

My concern in this case is that the basic facts aren’t even fully known yet. This just happened. Give time for the media to report. We’ll have a better idea soon enough. -

Stay cool. Information is still being reported on this. It’s not clear yet if this was a deliberate act of war against Poland. My guess would be that it wasn’t. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-zelenskyy-kherson-9202c032cf3a5c22761ee71b52ff9d52 -
@Hatfort Yes decent results for Dems overall. Still two big races in particular to be called, senate in Georgia and governor in Arizona. If they both go Blue that will be a big deal.

No he did not. Watch spreading misinformation. If you rewatch that video, you can clearly see him state that sprinkling in 10% bullshit was just a hypothetical. He did not promise he was going to do anything. -
Which part did you find untrue?

This is a teaching environment. If you are not here to learn from Leo, why are you here? You wouldn’t walk into a Calculus class, start talking about how Calculus couldn’t be true and how the teacher is making up narcissist fantasies and expect them not to eventually kick you out. It’s disruptive, annoying and a waste of time for everyone. That should not fly in even a university setting, let alone when trying to discuss some of the most advanced spiritual / metaphysical topics humans have ever pondered. If don’t want to learn Calculus, don’t come to Calculus class. And if you are open to learning Calculus, then you do have to assume the teacher may know more than you most of the time. And if you do have a fundamental disagreement, you should seriously do your homework instead of just jumping to a conclusion. If you still disagree at that point, then you leave. Of course there is no government approved accreditation Leo can provide for teaching this kind of work. That’s the reality of teaching spiritual work right now. It’s outside the mainstream. So you’ve basically just have to go on Leo’s track record and your own direct experience to judge whether he is a teacher worth learning from. He could be wrong, but I think he has earned some openmindedness. -

What distinguishes Alien Infinity from “traditional” infinity? Did your awakening specifically include the word “Alien”, or are you pulling that word from Leo’s lexicon? -
aurum replied to QandC's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I don’t think so. Not really his style. I’m pretty sure he has become conscious of something radical. Openmindedness is required here, which some users here are not showing. I will be buying the course when he releases it. But even with radical openmindedness everything must still be verified by you. If what Leo is saying is true, then there is a huge potential trap of people just taking this on as a belief. That is not going to cut it. Either become directly conscious of what he is saying or forget it. It will do you way more harm than good to just take this as conceptual ideology without real understanding -
aurum replied to QandC's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I am open minded to what you are saying. And I will continue to learn. But I don’t know what to make of what you’re saying at this point. Most of the insights you’ve shared in the past I’ve been able to verify from my own contemplations / awakenings. But this feels like new ground. Nothing I’ve experienced has shown me anything like this. -
Do you have a job? That would be an easy first step to getting some basic autonomy. Get a decent job, afford to pay your own bills and move out. You might be a wage slave but at least you won't be living at home. From there, you could start working on exploring a deeper life purpose and your dating life.

Can you expand on this? It sounds like you're saying that a finite thing like Alien Hyperintelligence is dreaming up Absolute Infinity / God. That doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't Alien Hyperintelligence have to be a subset of Absolute Infinity? -

@Twinstar Awesome job. We're not necessarily chasing crazy visuals in this work. It's more about the insights themselves, which you got. -
They can be so stubborn

Good thread idea. It’s important to make a distinction here between UNDERSTANDING and AGREEING. I can understand without necessarily agreeing, or agreeing with some portion of what was said. Which is what is needed for healthy political dialogue.

What are your larger goals? The reality is that if you need to make money, every person you do business with or interact with won't be a saint. People are just not at that level of consciousness. If you're just starting out your career, you may just have to bit the bullet on this one. You do need to pay bills and survive like everyone else. At the same time, if it goes against your principles, then start making a long-term strategic plan to get out of that situation. Focus on working in an industry that isn't just about money. If you choose a shady industry, you're going to do business with shady people. So think about where you really want to be and what you want to do. If you don't need money right now, then maybe you can afford to pass on some of this. But either way you need a strategy for what better-thing you are going to be doing. It's one thing to say such-and-such business goes against my principles. It's another to actually put a plan in place to where you can afford to do something different. And then actually succeed. There is nothing that says you are entitled or guaranteed a higher consciousness business or a principled life. The system / environment you are in is not set up for that. So If you want that, you will have to work your ass off to build it. -

Yes. Don't expect yourself to embody just one stage. You likely have a center of gravity of around 2-3 stages. And of course you can also embody all the stages to a certain degree as you hit tier 2. Probably an accurate self-assessment. Extremely. Just understanding the spiral and where you are at can help you identify your blindspots and what you need to do to get to the next color. If you're going to focus on developing yourself, it's useful to have a map. And that's exactly what spiral dynamics is: a map of cognitive development. And just like a map, you can sit down and ask yourself "okay, where am I? Where is the 'You are here' marker? And where is my destination? And what's the path to get there?" Without a map, you can still grow yourself. People will usually move up the spiral whether they know about it at all. A map is just a practical tool that can help speed up the process. You're going to get to your destination quicker with a map than without one. -
Notice: The atomic symbol The tagline on the desk and backdrop If it weren’t for those clues, it would have been more questionable. But given the entire context this feels very Orange to me.
