  1. (this speaker is not affiliated with the 21 convention, he was just a guest speaker)
  2. Better parenting + institutions making lines in the sand and sticking to them + so called stage green people getting cancel culture turned on them enough times that they grow up a little. I've seen many people ignore cancel culture or support it until they themselves or their friend got cancelled, only then did they wake up to listening to the other side, like Anna Kasparian from TYT. Jonathan Haidt makes good points about this. Essentially it is a combination of young people being coddled and becoming extreme because of social media, combined with political polarization.

  4. Because there is too much trust in data. The data that is presented by all sides is usually correct, but it removes context or stretches the truth to back up a pre-established argument. How to lie with statistics is a good book on it.
  5. It's possible your gut is telling you not to pursue that woman because it's sensing some issues with her. But it sounds more like you have some inner self-hate and shame about your sexuality.
  6. The nofap community commonly reports doing better with women irl when on nofap streaks. It's normal. Just don't watch porn for a while before the date, or better yet aim to cut it out entirely.
  7. You are really overestimating the situation. The Biden admin will be as progressive and transformative as the Obama admin was at best.
  8. It is just a bad name. If they had called it 'fund non-violent policing' instead, it would not be as demonized, even though the actual platform could be the exact same. It is probably also a bad idea to suggest messing with amount of police at all when there are riots going on.

  10. You have bought the mainstream democrat narrative hook, line, and sinker. hose are exactly the things the establishment dems want you to think are the biggest problems in the country. Very few of those is going to undo the derailment of America, maybe a couple could prevent a major additional issue down the line at best.
  11. Language is genetic, but because we see nothing like it in anything besides humans, and it appeared so suddenly, it may have worked similar to a mutation.
  12. Language is common among all humans, appeared relatively recently in evolution, and has no analog in any other species. It seems to have appeared suddenly in humans, and caused a huge explosion in creativity and growth that we are living in now. The way language functions in humans is very strange and mysterious phenomenon, it doesn't work like other systems in the body, it's almost like a computer program. The way humans use language, deny death, have a sense of self, and human consciousness all seem deeply linked, or perhaps they are different aspects of the same thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bImdyQn43s8 Enlightenment, is returning to a state without the ego, which is why you need a silent mind (no thoughts), and to look for the 'I' (a paradox), perhaps to short circuit the ego. But what exactly is the ego and where did it come from? It might be some kind of parasite. The human body is made up of many different cells that are almost like their own life form working in a symbiotic relationship with one another. https://www.livescience.com/61627-ancient-virus-brain.html
  13. This site has how well each candidate is doing https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/
  14. No, but they are more enlightened then someone higher up the spiral. Enlightenment is basically just returning to where you began. So in my opinion the spiral starts at enlightenment and as you go up you are getting further away from enlightenment, but ultimately circling around back to enlightenment. I suspect that is why people become enlightened period. I don't think any human has actually gone all the way up the spiral and come back to enlightenment yet. The people who become enlightened are because they fall so low on the spiral by some freak accident they flip to the other side. For example Eckhart Tolle talked about how he was basically on the verge of suicide from the meaningless and apathy he felt when his experience happened. True apathy is the lowest a human can go, if you go lower then it you may find out you don't exist at all. That could also be why meditation and silencing the mind leads to enlightenment, because you are almost tricking yourself into not existing by not thinking. Stage blue or stage red people can seem primitive but a lot of the time they are actually more connected to the stillness and acceptance than say a stage orange or green person from what I've seen.
  15. Today, stage green reporter Glenn Greenwald just resigned from the Intercept, a paper he founded, because the board wanted to censor his article about Joe Biden fearing it could hurt his election. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/my-resignation-from-the-intercept A couple days ago a stage green professor whistleblowed about how bad the pressure is getting at her college: A few months ago, stage green data analyst David Shore lost his job after he tweeted data compiled by an African American scientist about how historically riots hurt their causes inside the USA. Here are more examples in this twitter thread: In my opinion stage green in America is merging with stage red people who are adopting the stage green beliefs. They are trying to pressure and infliltrate administrative positions and push society towards their beliefs, but their beliefs are further up the spiral than society is ready for and it will create friction. I am also concerned of where society is headed if/when they become the majority or a larger vocal minority if they are this hypersensitive and intolerant of others.
  16. I think all sides are putting less and less importance in principles, which is very sad.
  17. I’ve seen people pointing out the gender imbalance in the spirituality and consciousness community. Namely that women seem more interested in the subject, but most of the teachers and masters are men. It’s possible this is partially explained in brain differences. https://www.education.com/slideshow/brain-differences-between-boys-girls/spatial-sense/ Relevant information: So this could mean women are naturally more interested in spirituality because they are more connected to their emotions and have higher brain activity and are more motivated to learn stillness. Whereas for the men who become interested in it, they are naturally slightly better at focusing and stilling the mind, so they get the hang out of it faster and are more likely to go far enough to become a teacher or master. (I’m not saying this is the only reason)
  18. The riots in Philly are going to swing PA towards Trump.
