Prisoners in America are locked into concrete boxes with no time outdoors in nature, causing them to go insane. When this insanity leads to aggression violence, we punish them by locking them into a concrete box again (more jail time and solitary confinement). This causes the prisoner to go insane, leading to violence and aggression, which is punished by putting the prisoner in a concrete box. Prisoners are as well required to report their criminal records on job applications, as well as college applications. They also have massive gaps in their resume due to the prison time.

I think he's just fucking with us now.

@Leo Gura You in this thread have affirmed that you believe that Ukraine is a U.S./NATO proxy. If NATO succeeds in incorporating Ukraine into its' alliance, an alliance which you have again agreed is an American tool to project power, tangibly, how will Russia suffer? I think it's a stretch to suggest NATO will invade Russia using Ukraine as a springboard. This isn't the medieval ages, Russia does not need a land buffer to prevent invasions, as they have a nuclear deterrent and a powerful army. If Ukraine joins NATO, how is this a problem for Russia? NATO is a defensive alliance.

This is a 1 hr 40 min lecture by Osho, where he talks about the importance of dropping all goals. https://oshoworld.com/take-it-easy-vol-1-06/ My absolute favorite, I like to listen to this in tough times.

Neat 60 minutes interview.

The Ukrainian counter offensive is still going really slow, I think it's safe to say that the war is going to continue for another year as the borders have not changed at all in more than a year.

This makes sense, one suspected reason as to why Russia was denied entrance into NATO was because Russia being the giant that it is would have been very influential in NATO, making the U.S. compete for influence. But concretely how does Europe benefit? I suppose it would be by being defended by the U.S. military while not paying much for defence.

Really? Do you buy the claim that NATO is a tool by America to project power?

I was shifting around the library at my University and I came across these yoga sutras, check them out. https://imgur.com/a/VCp2dyA https://imgur.com/a/o9XMth0 https://imgur.com/a/ayZ16j1 https://imgur.com/a/z0kFEhZ https://imgur.com/a/NEWhwIR

I disagree that this is a problem of "woke" college kids as much as it is a problem of American culture. American culture is very insular, Americans seldom consume foreign media and American news does a pitiful job covering international events. The result is that Americans tend to be very ignorant of the world around them. Americans and American culture just tends to be very ignorant and exceptionally stupid, this is not a woke, leftist, or "stage green" problem.

Guys, this is a serious discovery and you want to report my post? This info is groundbreaking!

Actually, this is not from the Mexican Government. The following picture you see was not taken by the Mexican Government, it was taken by me. I set up a secret camera in Leo's apartment, to document him discovering "alien consciousness". Here Leo is on the left (please don't ask me why he's naked or has hair, I don't know either), talking to two aliens as seen on the right, who have visited Leo in order to bestow the truth of "alien consciousness".

In what way? The sort of laid back and humored filled way he talks?

GOD is infinite hiatuses. I have discovered a new form of hiatuses, ALIEN hiatus.

Even though Leo deleted the post, I as an Arab person, am very glad he touched up on the Israel settlement issue. The self bias amongst zionists and settlers never ceases to baffle me. How would they feel if land in which their great grand grandfathers had lived in was taken from them and they were forcibly made to leave their homes and live in refugee camps? They never ask these questions, and will even use religious prophecy to justify their evil.

Zionists interpret the slightest bit of criticism as anti semitism, it’s their forté.

NOW we finally have prove that Democrats are not just more “conscious” in a vague philosophical sense in policy prescriptions , but actually more conscious in a deep existential and spiritual way (they’re literally legalizing drugs which allow you to raise your consciousness).

I know that this community is very well against ideology and dogma. But I really want to give it a try, being a zen monk. I already know Japanese for which I taught myself and I have spoken to a Zen practitioner. I think as a temporary measure in order to really hone in on my meditation skills, I could do this for a few months to a year. I know Buddhism is very well warned against by Leo, but he has admitted that his spiritual path took 10 years of Buddhist teachings and served as a great foundation for him.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/18/opinion/sunday/why-college-rankings-are-a-joke.html Greetings forum, I want to open up to you just a bit. I have been going through a crisis of envy which has been obsessively (I have been diagnosed with OCD btw) going on for a little over a year. I got into a University which is considered by many to be a ''good University''. But it's nothing fancy or really high up there in National rankings. I feel so insecure about this for two reasons. One is that my school is notorious for being the school which has no parties or social scene. These are supposed to be the best four years of my life, two of which I spent in a Community College, and the other two are going to be in a non-party school. I looked around at Instagram, for which I deleted because the FOMO and jealousy was causing me to cry, and I see all these people for whom I know and don't know, really living it up. They're all at these fancy Universities with fancy classical Christian architecture which are more prestigious than I will ever enter. They posted on Instagram about all of their crazy, alcohol filled parties, study abroad, spring break, etc... One (female) childhood friend I spoke to who has done all of the prior listed is a year young than me and has a 30+ body count. I'm older than her and only have a bodycount of 1 (thanks tinder). I'm a year older than her and haven't done any of that, and because of the school I go to, I don't think I ever will. The second thing which bothers me tremendously is the status and prestige. Like I mentioned in the above paragraph. My school has very high rankings in niche fields, but overall is not very highly ranked (it's a top 200 R1 research school). It was founded in 1966 and the campus is hideous, whereas everyone else's campus is so beautiful and classical, they look like Cathedrals. Going to this school with such a low ranking really makes me question my intelligence. I am aware of people who were not given the opportunities that I have who are going to more prestigious schools. I worked really hard in High School, but my academic performance tanked significanlty due to COVID. Community College was really confusing due to the hybrid online format of the school which emerged from COVID and I made various mistakes which made me academically very weak. There's just something about taking calculus and chemistry courses entirely online which makes me perform so poorly. Also, how oh how oh how the fuck do I score less than a thousand on my SAT (American college entrance exam)? Is this normal? Am I exceptionally stupid and don't belong in a University? (To be fair, I had immense trouble focusing both times I took the exam. I remember how I broke down, didn't fill in half the bubbles/answers and went to cry in the front office due to an anxiety attack. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and for as long as I can remember have had issues focusing, and issue for which I am gradually resolving). How do I mange the jealously of everyone really living it up at college and having the time off their lives? How do I mange the jealousy against people who are academically better than me? Am I stupid because I'm so academically weak? Are people who attend fancier schools and score high on the SAT smarter than me? I really hate myself for this and don't love myself at all, and I have considered numerous times just ending my life or harming myself in some way. Because it seems that no matter how hard I try, I will never attain my academic and social goals. I suppose this is where I belong, in a stupid college with stupid kids because I myself am stupid. The smart gifted kids deserve all the sex with the hot college babes because they worked hard for it, and I'm simply getting what I deserve. Thanks for reading this rant, I suppose. Heh heh, for all this talk by Leo about how Buddhism is bullshit... My desires are surely causing me an immense amount of suffering, aren't they.

@Leo Gura You made an excellent point. While I disagree with you that the cause of this war was cultural, there is no doubt that Ukraine's cultural shift to the West played a huge role in this. My family is Russian and they almost all support Russia in this war, especially those who still live in Russia. For justification reasons, sure, they will site NATO, they will site Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, but one justification for this war in which they will sometimes site is culture. Foreign observers may notice that a lot of the Russian soldiers are carrying Soviet flags. People might wonder 'why are they waving the flag, and wearing flag patches of a country which no longer exists'? This is actually intentionally to signify old unity, back when Ukrainians and Russians were a brotherly people, allied in the Cold War against the degenerate West. But now Ukraine has been thoroughly corrupted by Western NGO's (their perspective, not mine). As for the culture stuff, I was surprised at how many times the LGBT community was mentioned as a justification for this war. https://www.newsweek.com/russian-troops-state-tv-pep-talk-satanism-lgbtq-attacks-1775008 There seems to be plenty of people who genuinely think Ukraine deserved to be attacked because it is becoming more Western, Democratic, and LGBT friendly. They view this as an actual genuine existential threat to their way of life and culture. There's also a shifting cultural change with young people, not related to the LGBT; less reverence for The Great Patriotic War, being less religious, and more. But this especially applies to LGBT stuff, They well view it, not as a genuine civil rights movement, but a sort of Western ''plot'' which was deliberately designed by America, the EU (European Union) and Satanists to destroy Russia. Not just the Government believes this, but I have as a Russian person (both ethnically but also a legal citizen and passport carrier) met simple ordinary Russian people who very well think like this.
