@Emerald You’ve brought up many good points also. 😊 I am by no means an expert in this area. I have minimal time downs studying it or contemplating it. Maybe more than some as I have watched Leo’s video on conscious politics, on his ideas around what left and right are, as well as books and courses I have taken. But, it’s not a key area of focus for me. Of course when it comes to leftist ideas around policy they come in many forms and degrees. Left is far too broad a category. It’s important to look at policy ideas, proposals, philosophy, ideas, etc each individually and in combination. There are open boarders within the EU for example which creates problems.

@Emerald My post is still fine for this thread. We are sorting through policy ideas. There is of course a lot of value in people here looking at both policy, and philosophical ideas around policy. There are people who push for policy which each of the things I’ve listed if one takes time to research.

@Emerald 1. policies around immigration: In Canada we have let in many immigrants which has lead to a housing crisis and cost of living crisis, at least in part. 2. Legalizing Drugs Complete Failure: Oregan has Legalized drugs and it has been a complete failure. 3. Easy on Crime Complete Failure: There is a policy in San Fancisco that has made petty crimes a misdemeanour instead of a criminal act and it has severely back fired and theft runs rampit Other things you’ve mentioned would likely fall I to people policy ideals, and I think you may find examples of people actually trying to pass those policies.

@Emerald These policies are promoted by people. I read a book advocating for open boarders many years ago. The things I listed and policies people have pushed for. I wasn’t listing policies by leftist wants for policy. I would consider policy around allowing violent criminals out of jail a more left leaning policy. But, open to other opinions.

Once you get fucked in the ass for your shitty protocols you’ll regret it.

@Emerald I think it was intended as a start because doing it in one sweep is impossible. I have to contemplate more of them that are leftist problematic policy… like open boardings, defunding police, allowing in too many immigrants, legalizing all drugs, being too easy going on criminals who steal as it promotes mass thievery, allowing for parol of violent offenders, allowing children to have sex change surgery, and more, not funding the military enough, policies in universities around speech, opinions and being overly sensitive and SJW, policies that get people in trouble for having more conservative views and opinions, controlled speech, etc I also thing UBI could easily backfire. Perhaps even Canadas carbon tax could backfire. The it’s so hard to tell on the offset which policy will be problematic as we are dealing with highly complex system.

@Emerald Okay, but the plastic banning straws thing is a good idea. The whole diables thing is a moot point because exceptions can easily be made. They are a small % of population and there are easy alternatives to plastic straws that need not be single use plastics.

Being overly sensitive about Cultrual appropriation, but also wearing Palestinian scarves

@gettoefl huh

@gettoefl What if your compassion for 1 kills 20,000?

@Javfly33 Haha, want me to show my my enlightenment or awakenings in this little box I keep under my bed?

😂 His videos on Integrity, Wisdom, Happiness, the 60 principles of Actualized.org

There are plenty of stoner chicks who play games

Yuh or someone else

@TheGod haha, uh

There we go! 😊 I resonate with that.

Wow! Thanks. I will have to take a look later. I am always learning. There is likely psychedelic use found in all religion. Again 5meodmt is relatively recent though and has no history.

@Javfly33 Well, if that’s your take on Psychedelics that’s fine. - Growing clinical evidence of their healing ability. For many people it’s not only how the psychedelics change the brain and body but the actual experience that is healing and that experience can have long term healing implications. - Thousands of years using psychedelics as religious sacraments - You could say “vegetables? Why not just eat a bunch of chocolate bars?” - Making quality distinctions between substances is important. There is a reason we talk about mushrooms here and not cocaine as a spiritual tool. - It’s not about challenging states. Psychedelics can reveal profound truths about reality and consciousness. - It’s okay for us to disagree 😊 The world is your oyster my friend. You can do spirituality however you want. But, note when you speak on things you lack experience in. (I don’t know your history with psychedelics)

@TheGod 5meo is dangerous

@Someone here I am familiar with it and have watched it many times. Leo has gone beyond that. And, I’ve even read a book on Leo’s book list about God is Nothing But… It’s simply not the only frame. It’s also not exactly accurate. Leo outgrows older videos. You can see posts from Leo years after that video him saying God is not nothing. Consciousnesses is simply more accurate. Awakening shows this.
