Okay. I grew up without a good foundation in $$$ and am seeking a better understanding. Anyone have solid resources for learning about: Banking and how banks work Personal finance Macro-economics Micro-economics Stock exchange Crypto Looking for the most practical resources (for dummies). Not videos about money corruption, bank corruption this and that. Just looking to develop a foundation so I can stop wasting money and learn where to put it and how to spend it. Ideally I want to go global (possibly even pull all of my money out of the U.S. with everything that's going on). As I'm bootstrapping my current small business, I'm looking to go global with my life. This channel has inspired my thinking lately: Thanks y'all!

@Leo Gura, your blog post about bullshit books is on point. As a social media ghoswriter, I have to say it's sad to see this dynamic play out. A few years ago I was in the middle of writing a book while getting my masters of science. I stopped because I felt it was nowhere near the level it need to be for publishing. I attended a local writing seminar to get help on it. The authors at the workshop kept saying to even be considered for publishing you need thousands of social media followers. And none of your manuscript can be referenced in your posts. Based on that I see why so many are barred from writing good books. That and why celebs with millions can chuck 10k at a ghostwriter only to prompt-engineer AI to whip something up for them. All the more traps to be aware of as a consumer, writer, and philosopher in this twisted world we live in lol

Rogan has so much reach and halo effect. I can 99% bet he didn't even watch the video. Probably just had some dumbass ghostwriter clip and slap an obvious hook on it Rogan and his audience are too shallow at this point to actually care about this stuff. (Which is evidenced by the comments as well)

If you're American, your liberal dad probably grew up listening to these guys: Had no idea this band was Green. (Actually a pretty healthy, well-rounded version of it too). Here's how I can tell: • Anti-war messaging (eg, Orange Crush [Vietnam] and I wanted to be wrong [Iraq]) • Creating songs intuitively • Channeling their feelings • Playing from the heart • Hippy AF set This interview holds a lot of beauty. Shows their maturity and the lessons of lasting friendship: Notice how in the interview, each one of them is trying to distribute credit or credence to the rest. Very non-hierarchical. Personally learned a shit-load by listening to and studying these guys.

Bro skipped church! 😂 Definately a pro move. You must be from Utah. People I've met there are either Morman, morman outcast refugees, or New Age ESPs like Teal Swan.

Structuralism = God Logic = Jesus

Troll level 9000 achieved

what kind of AI response was that hahaha Woah that's wild. But that's a perfect example of being Positively Integrated. Life is simpler and functional. Nothing wrong with it per se. Where would you place yourself now having removed yourself from the Morman way? There's five. I. Positive Integration II. Unilevel Disintegration III. Spontaneous Multilevel Disintegration (no going back) IV. Coordinated Multilevel Disintegration V. Positive Reintegration Level five pairs well with the tenth Ox-hearding picture. Master returns to the marketplace. 1,000% with the scarcity thing. It feels so wrong when you know they're psychologically weak and you "sell" them. I regret a couple sales where I pressured them.

I have the best speeches. The finest. You know it. They know it. The ratings. Oh! And, do the weave.

Trip went from 10am to 6pm

What's up, y'all. First trip report in years. No, the title is not clickbait, I actually became Trump on today's trip (read on). A little context... From 2019-2023, ALL my LSD/mushroom trips ran exactly the same. Light-hearted "museum" dose trips where I explored my senses and let my consciousness roam around my environment. But 2024-now? Trips literally teleport me between "this" reality and somewhere else. In today's 3.5g mushroom trip, I had the usual come-up symptoms: - tingly feeling along spine - visual enhancements - clear insights I lied down on my hotel room floor, windows shades open, so the sun could shine on my body. The warmth felt amazing. When it felt natural I got up and sat in my bed (like I was on a roller coaster waiting to depart the station). I got really cold so I put on several layers. What happened next I could not have predicted. I felt like I hitched a ride on a rocket ship leaving the planet - no control. I surrendered my entire being. I became the earth. Climate change took over. As the earth, I watched forests get wiped-out by 10,000 mph winds. Earthquakes shaking all civilization down. Then, even more shocking... I BECAME Donald Trump. I merged with his consciousness and experienced billionaire wealth and supreme commander power. It felt great and shockingly I felt no resistance (I'm not a Trump fan by the way). From here I got up and looked out of my 6th floor hotel window. I observed the busy Taco Bell with pure awareness. I felt the struggle of the drive thru patrons as they confusingly navigated the poor set-up. All seen from an eagle-view. What happened next is where it got CRAZY. I slid into my FIRST EVER rodeo with infinite love. I get swept up in a fuckin oceanic hurricane of deep, pure love. I started flipping around my hotel room. I tore my bed apart and summer-salted off of it 2 or 3 times (somehow didn't sustain any injuries). Just when I thought it was over, it was not. The love kept getting more and more infinite. It was so good I couldn't fucking believe it... pure ecstasy. I could literally hear the frequency in my ears getting higher and higher as I soared beyond reality. I thought of Ken Wilber, Peter Ralston, Leo. I realized I'm creating them and I became conscious of how I was doing it. The whole time I felt like I was orgasming HARD from my root through my ribs. Tears slowly and gently leaked out of my eyes and into nothingness. I knew trips could take you places, but this was a totally different level. Who else has had such experiences???

I don't but plan to in 10 years (I'm 26).

Ah, sheit. I used to think the same way. And guess what? I didn't succeed. Why do you assume truth is not practical? Don't you need to practice something to access truth?

Simple: being open-minded is a meta-opinion you have. You prefer it over being closed-minded. Open-mindedness even allows you to be closed-minded in cases where you don't have all available data (which is 99.99% of the time). Follow your gut and course-correct to save time.
