  1. https://www.noorbinladin.com/letter so after you read the whole letter, please tell me your thoughts. Critique all her claims if you got any. I’m just amazed that I’m questioning my political beliefs. Help me snap out of it. I seen this shared in an integral politics group on Facebook.
  2. http://consciousbridge.com/wordpress/media/conscious-bridge-radio/applying-spiral-dynamics-to-our-lives-a-conversation-with-don-beck/?fbclid=IwAR2Qzh5LVRbF_9MElsBtNPfnR_6oBs2fIuJpA8oZdTwWPGGalGsZokGnwhk The author of of the book, “MEMEnomics: The Next-generation Economic system” by Said Elias Dawlabani has a spiral dynamics group on Facebook and he has it in for Leo Gura and Ken Wilber. He posted the link above. And it’s from Don Beck himself. There is a 30 minute interview clip and if you listen Don Beck thought Trump was the true author of “The art of the Deal” like the guy who helped put together Spiral Dynamics thought Trump was an integral thinker. ? like Leo transcended the founders and the founders got nerve throwing shade on Leo and Ken Wilber.
  3. help pave the way for 3rd party candidates in the future. If you are not in a swing state, vote 3rd party. Let the establishment see the uptick in voting 3rd party. Let them know the people are not going to continue to sell out and vote for the lesser of two evils. Restore confidence in voting 3rd party. Let’s dissolve the assumption that voting 3rd party is like a waste of vote. also, if you know Christians that vote for Trump because at least he’s pro life then encourage them to vote for Brian Carrol of the American Solidarity party. He runs on catholic values.
  4. Well I didn’t realize that was the case. I’m born in 1991. This would be my 2nd time voting in my lifetime. I only recently got interested in politics after Trump won. Otherwise I was just focused on the drama in my own little bubble.
  5. I see your point. I agree that my thinking is based on fear. It’s not far fetched to think people in power will use their power to secure their power. Power and wealth go hand and hand. They use money to influence election turnouts. They buy politicians. Candidates are bought and influenced. Chris Hedges even said that the establishment didn’t care if Bernie Sanders won the primary, they were going to side with Hilary anyway. I never even heard of Chris Hedges until Leo introduced us to him. When I saw him speak at the people’s convention online I was on board to support the movement of voting 3rd party. I linked that video that inspired me multiple times in previous posts. But here it is again... Is voting 3rd party really equal to low consciousness? I was inspired to not sell out on my values. If each vMeme serves a purpose, maybe my shades of green serves the necessary purpose of protesting? The bigger the percentage increase of voting third party the more confident people will be to vote 3rd party in 2024 or 2028. Just let it increase each election until it’s no longer considered a waste of a vote by voting 3rd party. Ranked choice voting is a better plan but that can be achieved on state level apparently.
  6. I watched his conspiracy video. It was a lot of talk, over generalizations, and accusing people of having low consciousness if they are open minded enough to consider the possibility of the elite exploiting children. I commented about our grandfather being a mason and how he did strange rituals and they wore robes at his funeral. All I’m saying is that I’m open minded enough to consider Qanan. I don’t buy into Trump being a behind the scenes savior. I just don’t doubt the possibility of the elite class taking advantage of their wealth and power to hide their exploitation. Also I don’t believe you can convince a republican to vote 3rd party. I said encourage fundamental Christians that settled for Trump. I feel very misunderstood here. This forum is so judgmental.
  7. I assume they will be more mindful of who they pick to win. It’s obvious to me that they chose Hilary and Biden before the Primaries even started in both 2016 and 2020. People don’t have a real say. I’m a caregiver for someone with locked in syndrome. He’s a hardcore Catholic Republican. When he saw that EWTN featured Brian Carroll he said he wanted to vote for him instead of Trump. There are Christians that vote for Trump because at least he is against abortion and death penalty. Well this guy is also against abortion and death penalty and he’s more professional compared to Trump.
  8. https://www.insider.com/chrissy-teigen-child-pregnancy-qanon-harassment-after-losing-birth-explained-2020-10?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab&utm_content=algorithm That conspiracy theory that kept me up at night has Now accused Chrissy Tiegan of pedophilia and eating children after she lost her baby. I just finished Homo Deus. Great book. The last three chapters were earth shaming for me. The future of the internet and the new digital religion and super computers exponentially superior to human bio chemical algorithms. Maybe computers will have consciousness just like us. Anyway it will be really hard to manage a free internet. Qanan can cry free speech. Our system of government is too slow to keep up with the development of algorithms, the free internet, and the free market. Yuval Noah Harari talks about the new moral standards in the digital age. I can’t wait to start on the third book. He’s an interesting thinker.
  9. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencealert.com/a-physicist-has-come-up-with-the-maths-to-make-time-travel-plausible/amp I’m not sure what forum to post this to. My mind was just blown to bits. I’m currently reading Homo Dues by yuval hariri so my mind was already in the cloud of science fiction becoming reality. The universe is getting wildly frightening to me. The possibilities are truly endless. But according to Hariri, humans don’t have true free will. He thinks our brains compute biochemical algorithms. Evolving complexity. makes me think Consciousness is fluid and everywhere. Consciousness is like the spirit that possesses or passes through the evolving complexity of our human bodies. Memories, stories, narratives, identity Are stored in the structure of the brain and consciousness flows through and experiences/perceives the data (thoughts, emotions, feelings) And flows out to other objects. Think of where you go when under anesthesia. You’re just gone. No dream. No sense of time. Just out and then awake hours later. Maybe the anesthesia just blocks information to be stored. Consciousness might pass through and feel everything but nothing is recorded in the brain. And consciousness doesn’t inhabit the body for a life time. It flows in and out of everything. The consciousness that flowed through you just now probably already passed through the chair ur sitting in. I can’t explain my understanding. I’m not doing this justice.
  10. lately I been really into “big history” on crash coarse and the book, “Sapiens” and this video on infinity was really cool. Like the big history of some perspectives of what infinity is. I highly recommend watching. this video inspired me to think deeply about infinity. I wasn’t smart enough to connect the dots about how old the universe is compared to human history. And I feel like that is why the toxic stage green generation of today doesn’t have the concept of big history. Especially the trump supporters and the cancel culture.
  11. “ I don’t think Science knows that” - Trump, in regards to climate change. a debate with a science denier? Ok ? what a shit show that would go nowhere
  12. Not sure if he’s a real doctor. I thought he was a chiropractor . I used to watch him a lot. But this video was cringy to me. I get a fake vibe from him. His jokes are dry and cringy. Now he’s selling a bunch of products. I used to think he was a wholistic stage green kinda doctor but now it’s like he’s trying to sell supplements like he’s stage orange. Now I’m kinda annoyed of him.
  13. Hell yeah! I wish the USA would get it together and reform our outdated systems. It doesn’t seem possible in my life time. So banning those hardcore drugs I agree with. It effects generations not just the addict. As much as I loved my mom, I now wish she was sentenced to prison. At least she would possibly be alive. I don’t know. Marijuana and Psychedelics I’m all for legalizing btw. It’s the meth, crack, and heroin I’m terrified of and I wouldn’t wish that lifestyle even to my worst enemies.
  14. @I spiral dynamics is a model. It’s a guide. It a way to organize some chaos. It’s a pattern of the chaos. It’s not about fitting people into boxes. It’s about how one’s life conditions changes ones values to adapt to the new life conditions.
  15. I’m new to the “Jordan Peterson Phenomenon.” I know he blew up in popularity 3-4 years ago but I just recently (4 months ago) got interested in him. I enjoyed reading his book “12 rules for life.” I enjoyed his youtube lectures, discussions, debates, and interviews. The only thing that bothers me about Jordan Peterson is his political views towards communism. I enjoyed his debate with Slavaj Zizek. I’m not a communist. But I feel like Jordan is spreading fear about socialism. I don’t fear socialism. I feel socialism is the only way to balance out capitalism. Jordan acts like socialism is the first step towards totalitarian communist dictatorship. I just don’t see why he is afraid that socialism will turn into tyranny. What are your thoughts? Am I naive? Why do I have so much faith in our government to not become a dictatorship? The people wouldn’t allow it. Trump is a little scary tho. He breaks the laws openly in plain sight. But Trump is anti socialism.
  16. @Toby ? had no idea he was a Scientologist! Da fuq?
  17. @eluumyratin76 My parents were alcoholics and had a crack addiction. Each year our lives got worse. By the time I was in 1st grade they were pawning the TVs, selling their link cards, fist fighting, partying all day and night. My older brother couldn’t take it anymore and moved in with his friend’s family. I was stuck with them. I was a mediator between them. I would attempt to talk then down and prevent a physical brawl. As a kid my cloths stunk, I stunk, my diet consisted of ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese. My mom had a fatal overdose when I was 12 and my dad let my aunt adopt me in her stable home. I’m damaged for life. I’m 29 and am still trying to feel “normal.” My childhood was based in fear, my adult life is safe. It’s extremely hard to reprogram a fear based mind. I just attract toxic people. I’m toxic. It’s hard to not be toxic. I’m miserable and have a hard time pretending to be normal. Im having a hard time breaking the cycle. I may not have the drug addicts in my life anymore, but I’m recreating the explosive behaviors of my parents and it’s effecting my toddler. Legalize crack? FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOO. Legalize heroin? Triple NOOOOOOO. If it’s gonna be so addictive you throw away life for it then noooo.
  18. @Carl-Richard lmao it was legendary. Ben Shapiro was on point 100%.
  19. Since you guys been listening to this guy I seen him talk on the 2020 peoples convention and he thinks we should vote third party. I really agree with voting 3rd party. Can we all organize and vote 3rd party please? Fuck Biden. Why should we settle? It’s literally a repeat of 2016.
  20. What if we got everyone we know to vote third party
  21. The other speakers that were brilliant in my opinion.
