The problem is that the politicians in California are too progressive for their own good. Society requires are delicate balance between progressive and conservative values. When the politicians start living in their own "la-la" progressive land, they get detached from the values that have preserved the state for centuries. The side effect of that detachment is homelessness.

Don't fall into a victim mindset. You are in control of your own destiny. You don't have insights into what happens in the background in the life of Elon Musk. You have no idea how many times he had failed, the pressure he is under, the problem he faces on daily basis. We only see the outside, but never the inside of what it takes to be successful. The world is filled with opportunities. You just have to be brave enough to seize those opportunities. I will give you an example. There is this guy I found on youtube that who plays game for a living. https://www.youtube.com/c/GeoWizard/about His job is to play a game called https://www.geoguessr.com/ where you are dropped into a random street in the world, and you have to guess the location. He is really good at this. This guy has more youtube views than Leo. He found his niche and is able to make a living from it. You don't have to do what he does. Just think about everything that had to be invented so that he can play his game. Someone had to invent cameras, google maps, the internet, websites, streaming. You can invent a better camera, better google maps, etc. Just find your passion and have the courage to go for it.

The taxes that you pay doesn't go to the current politicians, but the wise people of the past that have created the proper governance structure that allows you to have a business. Think of it as incurred debt to the people of the past that have tried to create the laws that guard the societal system. Most of the people that work in government are good, honorable people that want to serve the public. The corrupt ones are few. So don't be discouraged and pay what is due.

I stumbled upon a humble homeless guy called Andrew on youtube. He lives next to the Beverly Hills Sign. I could sense that he is struggling to get his headstart in society, so I wish to help him somehow. Maybe as a community, we can help him even more. I wish to donate a few hundred dollars so that he can move from place A to place B. I was thinking of creating a GoFundMe page for him, but I live in Europe and don't know how to deliver the help to him directly. Maybe one of you lives in California and would be able to find him? PS. I know he is not telling the truth about his background and not knowing about what Beverly Hills is, but I feel he still deserves a chance.

Sorry to hear that. I have never been in such a situation myself. I guess I lack the awareness of how giving him a chance for a new start in life would be counterproductive. Care to enlighten me? By the way, I assume that Andrew is not the typical drug abuser/alcoholic, but genuinely wishes help to reintegrate back into society. Am I too naive?

You should not be suppressed by someone who is less conscious than you. If you are more aware, you should assert yourself and fill the gap in the awareness of others. Faking confidence for the sake of appearing confident won't lead anyone to the truth. Genuine confidence is the key.

@K Ghoul You are entitled to your opinion. I don't see a problem in helping someone who is clearly asking for some help. Deep down, Andrew is not looking for a handout, but a message that someone in the world still cares about him. Why don't we send him such a message? People sometimes need just a little encouragement to get on the right track.

I created a GoFundMe page for Andrew. If someone wants to contribute, please do so at the following link: https://gofund.me/e4346ebc Every donation counts. If you live in California, please contact me.

To the extent you can. If you can't, that's ok. You can admit anything only if you have dissolved all your fears. If you have fears, you will try to lie and deceive. Maybe revealing these truths will tell more about a repugnant society rather than your "repugnant" nature.

When you are intentionally dishonest you assume that telling a lie will give you something better than telling the truth. But how do you know this? You don't know what the future will bring you. Maybe telling the truth will give you something greater. Telling a lie assumes that YOU know what is better for you, so you intent to trick "the universe" into giving you what you want. But maybe, you are only tricking yourself? Maybe "the universe" knows better what is better for you so you just have to tell it your truth. Having said that, if your girlfriend asks you if her butt looks fat in those pants, the answer is No. You are welcome.

It is unlikely to stabilize your level of consciousness just from psychedelics. You have to do THE WORK. Ram Das together with Timothy Leary tried to get enlightened through psychedelics for years. But it didn't work for them because essentially psychedelics try to tell you that the power is within. If you keep taking them and never learn this lesson, you will be missing the point of psychedelics. It is all false information in the end. But you are not at the end. You are more in the beginning When you get to the end, forget everything you know.

Those words were spoken, not written. But they are also false.

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.
