People are losing trust in government institutions. Since dollars are government-issued paper, people will soon start losing trust in this paper. The collapse of the dollar might not be sudden, but it is inevitable. The real problem is not the dollar itself, but the centralization of power into the institutions that govern the issuance of money. Once society gets to a certain size, the centralized issue of money gets corrupted by people who sit closer to the center of these institutions (Banks, Hedge funds, etc). The only viable way going forward is to have decentralized issuance of money. This is what Bitcoin attempts to do. The problem then becomes, how do you invert the monetary system of the world without crushing the whole system? The answer is slowly, in cycles. Bitcoin rises and falls in cycles every 3 years. This year is part of the rising cycle. During the next cycle, around 2024, Bitcoin will gain over 10 Trillion market cap, which will be sufficient to invert the system, and Bitcoin(or Bitcoin alternative) will become the base layer of money for the world.

DMT removes the clouds temporarily so that you can see the Light of the Sun. To see the Light permanently, you must move the clouds yourself through practice. They will experience content without context. The interpretation of the experience comes after the experience, and if their interpretation is not placed in the right context, they will wonder what happened. Every spoken word is false. Find out for yourself what is True.

You might be missing few dots so you can connect all the dots... Your ego doesn't want to solve the problem because it is the problem.

His latest videos have disproportionately more TA-DA "moments". I am waiting for a video where he just repeatedly says "TA-DA" the whole video but it is not happening just yet.

You need to create a deep bond that binds the inner group from the out-group. The bond has to be created out of the existential values of the inner group. The closer these values are to the individual sense of identity, the stronger the bond. Ex. All Trump supporters belong to an inner group with a deep bond of individuals who are primarily self-centered, success-driven. PS> Don't start a cult.

You can't control your own actions. Why do you think you can control others? Nobody is born a teacher. Every teacher was once a student. The question is, when did the student become a teacher? When the student learned more than the teacher. You have to apply what you have learned. If you don't apply it, how would you know if you have learned truths or falsehoods?

Someone has been reading Ken Wilber. You need both. If you not growing, it gets harder and harder to wake up. You must disentangle all the shadows before you see the Light.

Is his life experience limited, or your understanding of his experience that is more limiting? Wisdom is always personal. The highest thing we can give others is knowledge (observation of facts), but not embodied experience (wisdom). By definition, nobody is an expert in wisdom but oneself. Thus, nobody is more or less qualified.

A new vision for the future. One that is exciting and terrifying at the same time.

There is no higher wisdom than the wisdom you can derive for yourself. Even the wisest sage appears shallow when compared to your own depths.

To know thyself. Looking forward.

Because in the long run, only democratic governments survive. You have to be an idiot to choose another governance structure other than democracy.

Not sure why everyone is against this... This is basically an admission of the government that local laws are too restrictive, and new governance structures are needed for progress. Why do you assume that the new governance structure won't be democratic?

The problem of desires is that in the moment of fulfillment of desire, the desire itself is re-contextualized. For example... You desire money. You get money. You no longer desire money. Now you desire not to lose the money. The initial desire for money is re-contextualized as a desire for security. Money was just a proxy for security. You will continue to have desires until you have re-contextualized all desires.

You have infinite freedom in finite rule-set dimension.

Exactly. Both are responsible. The hard truth is that the victim chose to raise their consciousness through the abuse. Manson as the "abuser" is more culpable, because perhaps he abused the weakness of others, but notice that if there was no weakness there would be no abuse. The ultimate weakness is a low level of consciousness.

Sometimes I sense love. Sometimes I sense wisdom. Sometimes I sense complete BS.

He should learn how to delegate tasks to others.

When you play with a bear, don't get surprised when the bear one day eats you alive. Everyone must take full responsibility for their actions. Maybe these young girls were using Manson because of his status, money, fame? Don't be a victim, because you are only a victim of your ignorance.

A writer thinks he writes a book to transform his audience. But the book writing process transforms the writer. Write the book for yourself. There is no audience.

It takes one to know One. If you are sensitive, you can sense his level of sensitivity. If you are not, then you can't.

I don't like this victim mentality. To become a victim you must admit ignorance. For if you were not ignorant you won't fall for a manipulator. To become a victim you must surrender your power. For if you never surrendered your power, how can the other manipulate you. It is ignorant to look at someone like Merlin Manson and expect that he would treat you like other "normal" guy. Merlin Manson wears his personality on his sleeves. If you are too blind to see it, you need to fix your eyes.
