  1. TYT was never really relevant and they grew during Bush Jr' reign when it was easy being a lefty. TYT never evolved once Obama came into power and then people began to see that it was never a partisan problem, but rather a money and a distribution of power problem. I'm not fully convinced by her saying how much she's changed. All of these youtube commentators like Kyle, Breaking Points, Ben Shapiro etc lean to partisan because it makes them money when they lean to one side more than the other. Ana, Cenk, Kyle, and Krystal are good examples of what happens when you have compassion, yellow-green stage thinking without any spirituality.
  2. Idealisticaly teachers would empower students to learn, ask questions, and create future leaders. School creates an environment for kids to learn social skills. The system doesn't want to create competition just a workforce and foolish people that will vote for them.
  3. The education system was never relevant, it is designed to create workers and stimulate GDP. Its hard to say how much it will cost but there are solutions to cut costs in the areas of administration. I just know that teachers need to double and even triple their salaries. This will attract more competition and improve the teaching level across the board. There are some affluent public schools in America that receive no funding from the government, instead, they are completely funded by the community, which allows them not to be influenced by the government. I have graduate-level education, if a school wanted to hire me, they would have to pay me at least 300k a year and still that would be considered a pay cut for me. Poor kids dont have environments with structure so if you leave them at home, they won't be learning. Also, whos going to watch them if both parents are working? Home-schooling works and kids become very independent because one or both parents are around. I send my kids to private school, monetary wise, its a waste of money because I can do a better job than the teachers but I send my kids to school because of the social environment it offers. My graduate-level education was also bullshit but I needed it to get the job because society doesn't have any other way of measuring competence
  4. Many psychotherapists have troubled lives as well, not as troubled as a porn star or a prostitute may have. You can name other professions and look at someone's past that explains why people choose those vocations. UFC fighters, policemen, people that do dangerous sports, and even chefs. Chefs like Anthony Bourdain had a history of drug abuse and depression that ended his life. Many chefs have drug and alcohol problems. Rich people don't become chefs, the work is way too hard and they can't have a social or family life. A rich person will go to a nice restaurant, they may even invest in one but they don't usually become chefs and work their way up. If you ask any of these people if they could grow up in loving homes with financial power and a good education they would say yes but the reality is, not many people are lucky enough to have those things. There's research that talks about the dangers of watching porn but the truth of the matter is, most people do not have healthy sex lives in a stable relationship. Even married couples with happy kids do not have healthy sex lives. There is an argument in these situations that porn is saving their marriage. Not all porn stars have troubled past lives, some of them just love having sex and love knowing people are watching them. If you get into the heart of the matter and into a woman's heart, most of the time they want love, marriage and kids. Even the women that get into these fields want that but often feel they are not worthy of that.
  5. @mr_engineer Yuval Noah Harari wrote a popular book but doesn't have a strong belief in the human spirit. He believes people are too tainted to govern. Instead an emotion less centralized system should control the entire world. His thoughts are ignorantly dangerous because he wants to eliminate freewill. He's either a fool or purposely trying to create a world controlled by the few.
  6. Poor kids during the lock down online learning phase during the were not using it. Rich people were okie during this time but the poor people lost 2 years of education for their kids. They either didn't have reliable internet connection or lacked parental supervision to overlook things. Online learning works best when parents come from an educated background and he able to be present. The poor kids lack foundation and resources just giving them equal online learning wont work. The poor neighborhoods need both education and community connection. These things are costly and the nation will have to choose to not pump the stock market and wage war or fund war. Building a community doesn't make money but fucking up people's lives and getting people sucked in materialism does. Without a consumer based society the world we live in won't work. Heaven forbid should we focus on empowering people and true happiness. The thought of a world like that would give a polician nightmares
  7. I would say systemically Asians have it more challenging in America but culturally Blacks have a disadvantage. On the other hand, if they based applications purely on merit, there will be more Asians and rich white kids. I would say at the end of the day it's a class difference. If a black person came from a well-to-do family and both parents are together their path to higher education is much easier than any other race, except native Americans which ironically have it worst than the Blacks because there are less rich Native Americans than Blacks. If they want to fix systemic racism, they need to put more money into education in poor neighborhoods because at the end of the day its more about income than race. The crime problem in poor places can also be linked to a lack of education.
  8. Trump's operation "warp-speed" allowed Biden to push the vaccine in America and the rest of the world. If you are going to give Biden credit on his handling of the pandemic then Trump deserves at portion of the credit you are giving to Biden.
  9. This is some fair criticism of Obama and what created an opening for Trump to come in. Cornell West predicted the future by mentioning getting into a war with Russia 12 years ago! I started it at 11:25 but it's worth going back and watching it from the start. Sabby is a well-educated Black woman and teaches at Boston University if I am not mistaken. Here is the original interview:
  10. @Leo Gura Personally I prefer Dr. Cornel West but if I had to choose between Trump, Biden, Williamson, and RFK, I would choose RFK.... If Trump loses to any of them except RFK, the people on the right are going to go crazy and protest. If some crazy miraculous reason Trump pulls off a win, the people on the left are going to go crazy. RFK and especially if Dr. West wins thru the green party, the nation will be less divided. It's not like we will get people like Rupert Spira or Adyashanti running for president. The world isn't ready for real spiritual leaders and countries would not be able to function without having to be cruel. People can be "spiritual" because there are men willing to do cruel things to people, other animals, and the planet. Viciousness is outsourced to the bold so we can live in harmony... this is the biggest shadow the left can't acknowledge.
  11. @Recursoinominado I personally believe that Hotez believes in everything he thinks and says as RFK does too. Even if you don't agree with RFK stance on vaccines. It's undeniable that chemicals laced in plants is not safe which Kennedy brings up.
  12. @Recursoinominado He seems like a legitimate journalist. Are you calling him a fool because you don't agree with the stuff he covers?
  13. @Recursoinominado @zurew Joe also mentioned that Peter could have someone else more equip to debate. Glenn Greenwald makes some good points. Glen is a fair actor and pushed hard against RFK on his stance with Isreal and Palestine.
  14. @Recursoinominado To be fair Joe Rogan offered Peter Hotez to go on his show or another long-form show against RFK to debate and Peter Hotez seems to have rejected the offer. I believe Jon Stewart even joined in on the tweet to encourage a debate.
  15. @Philipp You cant blame them because the reality is there are institutions that own everything and lobby the government. Those friends of yours are probably not anti-government rather people that just want those in power to be fair and honest. These types of people that are "anti" government are the people that push society forward. Not too long ago it was illegal for blacks to be treated by doctors in hospitals and if a medical doctor were to get caught treating a colored person they would go to jail and lose their license. Back then the only care a black person could have gotten for medical and dental care was from a veterinarian. The people that were opposed to such rules back then were "anti" government. The people today that you mentioned could be wrong on certain points and others may be point on and as of now its hard to determine which rules in society will be deemed as just and unjust moving into the future. Democracy is part of the evolutionary process and not one really has a crystal ball.
  16. @charlie cho The shadiest thing Tate did in his webcam business was trick lonely men into giving the girls money. I am not sure how illegal that is or isn't but it was certainly immoral to toy with someones heart for profit. Sometimes I wonder if Tate is working with the "Matrix" to distract young men and think perhaps the jail thing was fabricated to create an adversary to validate his claims that the Matrix is attacking him.
  17. @VictorB02 You are right to have your views and so are the people that say you are wrong. Reality is wonky and at the end of the day, all that matters is everyone's personal reality. At the least, most people see things this way. Truth is a nonlinear thing and many things can true at once including contrasting views. People are willing to die and defend their views at all costs without understanding that God is a trickster.
  18. First you need to recognize that the self is a construct of your mind, then you have to realize you are a construct of a different mind you were never aware was you, then you will realize that existence can only be from imagination.
  19. Some people on youtube have been talking about their disappointment with the inconsistency of Musk claiming to be anti-establishment and for "free speech" yet bringing in someone that rubs a lot of elbows with rich powerful people.
  20. If you feel there are area's in your life that are more important then you should focus on those things. ie survival, making money, developing healthy relationships
  21. I mentioned on page 2, they are all part of the same club Carlin said. It's really funny how one of them is glorified by a group of people while there is disdain for another while the other groupies have opposing sentiments. But then if you investigate further you realized they are all backed by the same people and they all party together.
  22. @DocWatts Those are good points but do you really think the dems and rep really want to implement rank choice voting and then move in the direction of 3rd, 4th party? The citizens need to believe in the possibility or be enraged enough to push for change. Imagine if Cornell West becomes so loved by the nation and ends up losing anyways, how would the citizens react? It took MLK getting capped in the face for people to force change to happen, I really don't want to see anything violent or horrific for change to catalyze. Failure to the point of rage traditionally creates the most change and I'm afraid that maybe the only way for long-term change.
  23. @Danioover9000 The majority of Americans do not feel the politicians represent them. If the citizens demand 4-7 parties there will be a wider array of voices for all the citizens. Switzerland has 16 parties, and Sweden has 8 to name a few. In these respective countries, a balanced distribution within parliament has to be represented by each party. Its asinine that America isn't even moving in that direction and the worst part is Americans keep themselves enslaved by 2 parties to create the rules. Trump pushed operation warp speed and produced a vaccine in less than a year, to create a fair system of governing should not be hard. Oh wait! the vaccine was produced to enrich big pharma billions of billlions. Creating democracy will cost them money.. OOOOOOooooooo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Sweden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Switzerland
  24. The biggest advantage of closing your eyes is it opens your ability to see and feel things you wouldn't so easily experience if you eyes are open. This is why most people that have psychedelic experiences naturally close their eyes. When meditating properly your body starts producing or you become more sensitive to the natural psychedelics your body produces. It's normal to get sleepy from a technical standpoint because you are slowing your brain waves down and when you get closer to delta sleepiness starts to kick in. I recommend meditating with your eyes closed, if you drift in and out of sleep it's totally fine the better you get at meditation the less time it will take you to enter that deep state which means you wont get sleepy
