I heard the goal is to host "Mar-a-Lago Accord" - a grandiose event where all the world leaders come to drop on their knees in front of Trump and beg - BEG! - to lower the tariffs. Then, ascending from large escalator stairs in a majestic fashion, the Enlightened Father Of The Nations will turn the table and Make America Great Again. This event will be recorded in history as a turning point for the Trump's America. Multiple Nobel Prizes are also somewhere in the picture. Yes... it is that petty.

We're at the "eeee wut?" part. ... and nose diving into the: "no, can't be - are these the same people we voted in?" This happened faster than I thought.

Ok, so fair enough. Talk to them in 2-3 year time - you'll have a great case of denial to study and learn from. And if that retired clown wins it will have entirely different consequences for the world. My country is way smaller, not that important globally and... we don't have nuclear weapons.

Look, it's easy to pick on the weak people yapping online. The problem lies in the centrists and intellectuals who got fooled into that cult. I'm having a massive deja vu right now. I heard the exact same bullshit 10 years ago before the key elections that put that deranged gang behind the steering wheel of my country. Arguments - yes, all reasonably sounding - coming from my close friends, some of my family members, switched on intelligent people, even many of my professors at uni (who fucking lectured history and should've known better - sic!). Hours spent talking how the "new government will put this country right". And how the "outsiders need to do this shakedown". Same shit about "arogant elites" and "corrupt institutions" blablabla. And what happened to all those intelligent, modest, educated voices? Here's the Denial Timeline from my case that you will observe from people like Rogan and Peterson and their followers in coming years: 2014: yes we all vote for the right-wingers who "will get us out of this mess" 2015: yes! we won! 2016: eeee wut? 2017: no, can't be - are these the same people we voted in? 2018: me? nah... I didn't vote for these people! 2019: no way, I never supported that shit 2020: who voted them in? not me! 2021: people who support that party are insane! 2022: this horrific party has to be stopped at all costs! 2023: (election year) "Voter turnout was 75%, the highest in contested elections and the highest since the fall of the communists" Gangoons lost by a landslide and the country is slowly getting out of the gutter. All my friends and family that voted them in are now in deep denial pretending they have no idea how "these people got in the first place" 🤷‍♂️ --- Before 2015 you could catch some cu** defrauding milions here and there. But the party that came after with a slogan to clean it all up brought about the level of corruption and destruction of institutions in the upwards of tens of billions of euros. And new fraud cases are popping up every day. This will take decades to clean up. So there you have it: a strong leader, an outsider who carried christian cross with faith and religious values. With his chest puffed up and back straight. The father figure coming to save families and bring prosperity. And where is he now? Where's the daddy? A demented pathetic loser, foaming at his mouth in some obscurity while two or more generations will work as slaves to get the country out of debt. Same old, same old...

We just kicked out a right-wing government that spent 8 years trashing everything our people built over centuries. And what freaks me out is that their talking points are EXACTLY like what you hear from Trump and his crew. It's wild - actually kind of creepy - when you run it through Google Translate and see how the same words, phrases, and twisted logic pop up between Trump's maggots and the goons who ran (and wrecked) my country for the better part of a decade. I swear, anything these people promise, you can bet your life they'll do the complete opposite. And it is so predictable, it's almost comedic. This is your right-wing-"if we were the one doing communism, things would be different..."-moment. Make a wish-list, and stick around to watch all the bullshit unfold in front of your eyes. And yes, of course your Democratic Party helped make this mess possible with lies, complacency and arrogance. And by being stuck-up in ways I never thought I'd see from a so-called enlightened Western institution. They really need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. But if you people care at all about what happens in this world, you need to vote for that woman - however pathetic of a choice that may seem to be at first glance. There's just too much at stake here for the entire world. If that punk wins, your democracy and institutions are going to be put through the wringer - and yeah, you (we) might not make it. My country almost didn't...

Made a comment on my md+modafinil experiments sometime in the past. I had a look at that post again and it still holds up, so check this out: Edit: this is often done with armo as well - no perceived difference between moda and armo for me (other than a slight dosage difference, i.e. moda > armo).

It is more heartbreaking: the push back is from washed-up reactionary Actualized Forum users that don't care about themselves.

@Theperciever I've md'ed for about 3 years now. my current protocol is: mon / thu ~25u lsd tue / fri ~0.15gr shrooms wed / sat / sun off Taken in the morning with coffee and bunch of different supplements. I take up to 2 months off every 12-14 weeks. some of my findings: - tested LSD dosages from 5u to 40u and the sweet spot is at 25u for me (different batches included) - if I focus I can feel it in my body for about 4 hours and I really enjoy it (there are no visuals, not even distortions for me at that dose) - shrooms were tested from 0.05gr to 0.5gr and the higher end makes me extremely anxious and had the biggest negative effect long term (the experiment on the higher end was run only for about 3 weeks as needed to be stopped); the sweet spot is right before I start "feeling" them at ~0.15gr - for me the tolerance for LSD is reset after 48h by about 90% and 100% within 5 days (this includes normal trip doses of around 150u as well) - for shrooms is 72h for 90% cleanup (note: I do all day water fasts twice a week and this will have an effect on the tolerance reset) - I dissolve 5000u of LSD in alcohol (Bacardi ?) and put it in a 30ml mouth spray bottle for a precise microdosages of LSD that last me the entire year; (earlier batch based on water gone bad so I wouldn't recommend water as a solution unless you do small batches - and the little alcohol content is too small to have an effect on me) - md shrooms in the morning seem to affect dmt trip visuals later that day - I still full on trip but with ~80% reduction in visuals - LSD md has no effect on my dmt trips - modafinil is fantastic with LSD for "synthetic" work on my computer (e.g. spreadsheets, coding, data analysis) - modafinil with shrooms is amazing for offline work (negations, sales and presentations) but also creative writing - md LSD and modafinil is also the most potent and the longest appetite suppressor I've ever found - if this is not a great "diet pill" I don't know what is... - for creative writing md'ing cannabis on top of the shrooms seem to be the best for me but it's extremely hard to tune the cannabis doses - a high precision vape device is required for an exact 180C (356f) temperature (something like Firefly 2+) to release the right terpens and low doses of THC and CDBs; two tokes get me there 60% of the time but it's still too volatile and unreliable for a consistent work imo (edibles are even more volatile) Your findings may be vastly different, so take my observations with a grain of salt. Hope that helps.

I never liked this "left-right" duality as understood in the US. To me everyone is both - and the application of either is a matter of your personal development. In such you could measure "a level of one's consciousness". I'm most "conservative" when I'm "integrating" (e.g. after psychedelic trips). In fact, the whole idea of "integration" is by definition conservative. This is where I literally "retract", "organise", "assign meaning", "figure out", "sit on it", "think it through", "consider/re-consider", "slow down", "reground", "find back my comfort zone", "understand my past/history"; etc. When I need to "move fast", "change paradigms", "gain new knowledge", "explore", "solve big problems", "improve in a big way", "get out of my comfort zone", "cover new grounds", "go with my intuition", "grow and develop", etc. then I'm a "progressive". So "integration" is... an integral part of the "progress". Politics is a balancing game where one is always in excess. So if you self-label some rigid and false notions of "conservative/progressive" you're just misapplying yourself and show you've understood nothing that was rambled about for 8+ years on Actualized. And that is pathetic. Start looking at the politics holistically and then you'll start understanding the duality of left-right. And then go beyond that. --- There is a useful book about it by Johnathan Haidt called "The Righteous Mind". I found it very helpful in observing my mind reasoning when conversations lean left/right - it's also good to have that habit formed to work on your biases.

The guy is a clown (both of them tbh...). However, tying libertarianism with Hobbes's state of nature is the same as tying the "green" community with ZSSR communists. This is the same blatant mistake I've seen you making in your "Libertarianism is nonsense..." wikipedia readout - some valid points, and the gist / the end conclusion is correct (in my opinion). But the analysis is surface level and can easily be picked apart by vapid followers of that religion - it is unnecessarily biased and poorly thought out. And rather than uniting and having libertarians see the pitfalls of their dogma, you've brought division and backlash. And you just keep gaslighting that topic - no idea why?

Mckenna is known for getting extremely high before each session and then he would talk fluently for like 6+ hours non-stop using the most beautiful language. That just shows you how differently people react to certain chemicals. You can learn to use cannabis to tap into special kind of creativity sources, normally not accessible to you. You can also fuck off and waste your opportunity. This is down to how discipline you are. And the same goes to any psychedelics. Therefore, saying "definitely do/not do XYZ" is extremely ignorant and close-minded. Each to their own.

A great clip - thank you for sharing @krockerman I have a different critique of spiral dynamics so the video was a great addition to my bias ? I have to agree with the argument that spiral dynamics being framed as a linear evolution falls victim to deterministic meandering about the "inevitable destination" one is hurling into. In my view, the SD model is a perfect sandbox for creating a self-fulfilling prophecy that has a self-destroying "feature" built into it. In the best case scenario, "spiral dynamics" is just a fancy term for saying "I'm on the path of getting better". And you often talk about SD when "actualising self" is not good enough term to impress your peers. However in the worst case scenario, it is an invitation to a "spiral competition" with your fellow human beings. Namely, "who wears better colours" - a true recipe for a disaster. The SD model can also hand you this "deterministic map" that your ego immediately latches on to and gives you a false reassurance that "everything will be alright as long as I quickly claim Tier 2". Hopefully you will quickly realise that the map is incorrect and brings more confusion disguised in another fancy and egotistical term: "a high-level systems thinking" (as oppose to what? a "low-level thinking" pleb?) - there is almost a rudimentary casting system built into that way of thinking... Take note: by the time you reach something akin to "the Yellow Stage" in SD's own definition of that stage, the whole thing falls apart under the pressure of your growing understanding of relativity and non-linear, fractal and infinite nature of consciousness. And the "growing complexity" (as oppose to "trimming the fat..."? ?) is a big problem not just with the SD model but, more importantly with the Actualized.org core content: - for example, just because you took 16 hours to ramble about one subject in 4 part series, and each one started with a mandatory disclaimer about how "extremely advanced and unique these ramblings are"... doesn't make the whole video "an extremely advanced and unique" for these hacky reasons alone. [given the sheet volume of otherwise fantastic Actualized library of wisdom, this is rarely the case, mind you - but I have super high standards for Leo clips so I have to call that out...] Although, I must say the Actualized Clips are a great turn into the right direction on that end ~ happy to see them coming! Thanks again for the share!

It really broke my heart when Brian kicked Nic from LR. Especially painful as it happened right AFTER the ayahuasca trip that Nic had around their friendship: https://youtu.be/_UoPMxeup8I This and how Brian handled the Joey Diaz fiasco: https://youtu.be/1XixwFGE-80 made me actively avoid anything from this scammer. Just the body language alone mimicking Pena with this overextended shoulders looking at you from the top - this is what a fucking sociopath looks like Despite some of the great guests he sometimes has on the platform.
