If the Tate brothers are charged with rape and sexual trafficking, there is going to be a trial. Romania is a civil law country. That means there will not be a jury. In a civil law country, the judge takes a more active role than common law countries, and plays an active role in determining the truth. A trial is the way to cut through the lies. There will be no jury to manipulate. We shall see what happens. Lets wait for the truth to come out. -

After watching that video, I believe Andrew Tate could be a psychopath – someone who can be very charming and lies convincingly. He can put out the charm but then if someone goes against his will he turns into a monster in a flash. That woman said that he was charming and then the next moment was on top of her with his hands on her neck strangling her. The men are seduced by Tate in the same way that the women are seduced. They are both being manipulated by their emotions. They are both over emotional. Furthermore, Tate is using the redpill horseshit and taking it to a new level. The redpill is a marketing technique. It makes the alpha/beta male false distinction, which automatically creates a feeling of inadequacy in young men. Gee, I must be a beta, I am lacking something. Yes, I will buy your solution. They are so convinced that they willingly step into a ring to have their brains beat out, as if brain injury or a detached retina is going to improve their intelligence. This is the logical conclusion of a very toxic belief system installed into young men by low life manipulators. -

In my opinion, we are seeing the ultimate logical conclusion of a dysfunctional capitalistic system. In the grand scheme of things, the Tate brothers are minor villains. They are the symptom and not the cause. One of the attributes of a dysfunctional system is the creating of artificial scarcity in order to create new markets. A once productive machine becomes parasitic and no longer produces real value. Millions of men in the developed Western world are having problems finding women for mates. Some of this is due to the increasing alienation of the culture where people are no longer in communities and developing their social skills. But the capitalistic structure itself creates an artificial scarcity. Contrast this situation with what is being done to small independent farmers. They now have to pay money to buy genetically modified seeds patented by Monsanto, and then have to pay for the pesticides that these seeds require. Seeds use to be free. They were one of the gifts of the regenerative miracle of nature. The farmer would save his seeds from the harvest and plant them to next year. Now he must pay for an inferior product. So the farmer has to pay for seeds that use to be free. Similarly, a man, who use to marry the girl next store, now has to pay thousands of dollars to a PUA clown and he still ends up alone. The clown doesn’t solve his problem but keeps him on his hamster wheel paying for more false solutions to feed a system that doesn’t produce real value. But the Tate brothers have gone beyond the PUA scam. The students of Hustler University want to live a life where they are making money through money generating scams and can abandon their jobs doing productive work for a system they no longer see as fair. This just shows a further growing alienation from a dysfunctional system. Also, consider the nonsensical, artificially created alpha/beta male distinction. In the 1940s, a man just got back from fighting World War II and would start a family. There was no alpha/beta distinction. They were all men. A man didn’t have to watch Tate Youtube videos to live his life vicariously as an alpha male. He wanted to forget war and live a productive life. For the survival of everyone, this system has to be seriously reformed. Here are some references to get some education about what is going on and some of the solutions.

He has already learned one lesson that most of us figure out in grade school: don’t brag. Blabing to everyone on youtube that he went to Romania, a new member of the European Union, because of their non enforcement of laws was not a good idea. Maybe he will now add humility to the curriculum of Hustler University. -

When Charles Manson was being tried in Los Angeles, his female followers would sit on the sidewalk outside the courthouse all day singing songs. They were even loyal to him when they went to prison. There weren’t many men who liked Manson. In contrast, where are Tate’s female followers? Does he have any? Are there any females camping outside of his prison cell singing to him. One can infer that they don’t care because their arrangement with Tate was primarily financial. He had to use force to keep them in line, because he didn’t have their loyalty or love. In contrast, he has the love of his male groupies. I have been saying this a long time about PUAs – they are good at seducing men, not women. -

Tate reminds me of Charles Manson. Manson had his female groupies who were loyal to him no matter what he did. Tate has his male groupies. You aren’t going to change their opinion. It’s emotional and not rational. -
What they are learning everyday in our sick culture of Empire is dangerous: advertising 24/7 to consume more, oil companies promoting that there is no global warming, neoliberal economics, not to mention the new wave of right wing shysters. How can it get any worse? My only reservation is that I am not convinced that it is a good idea to teach children that they are God.

He’s actually in a good place to obtain spiritual liberation. All the material temptations have been removed from him. They only serve as distractions. He has plenty of time to meditate. Many prisoners do Vipassana meditation. He also has to learn acceptance of the cockroaches. I talked to a Thai monk who said that learning to meditate with the mosquitos are an important part of liberation. When I was in the Amazon, I had to accept bugs crawling over me and trying to eat me 24/7. He is also probably getting cold showers. When Shinzen Young was in the Japanese monetary, he had to pour cold water over himself everyday for 6 months (in the winter). Romania is cold this time of year. In the last picture taken of him, he was holding a Koran. I wish him luck in his spiritual retreat. https://na.prison.dhamma.org/en/ -
I have had journeys on cannabis that are as deep and psychedelic as ayahausca or muhrooms. If you approach the plant medicines with serious intention, respect, and humility, they will connect with you. If you use them as “dope” or “weed’ then you are better off watching Netflix.

You can measure a spiritual master by what he can he take from life. Like the Tibetan masters who still have compassion for the Chinese who destroyed their country and murdered millions. Their level of mastery is unreal.

Alan Watts was a scholar but it is uncertain whether he had any spiritual practice. He did Zen for a while but then quit. https://tricycle.org/magazine/alan-watts-reconsidered/

It makes sense to call them “medicine” in the holistic sense in which they are used in shamanism, but I have no faith in reductionist science and their obsessive focus on depression, as if it is a thing that can be cured.

Tate hasn’t been good for men. The ignorant corporate media loves the Tate story because he creates a simplistic message, which is the only thing they are capable of reporting. Men’s legitimate complaints will now be invalidated by pointing to Tate. Both men and women are manipulated and controlled by the wider economic system. This is what they won’t let you know. -
He was a Taoist monk and is a psychotherapist. He does a good job of integrating Taoism with inner child work.

I will post here music played at Ayahuasca ceremonies in Latin America. The music is soulful, nature centered, and has a powerful healing energy. “Agua de Estrellas” is a Peruvian medicine song inspired by the ritual of water from the Andes. In your eyes of infinite water bathe the little stars, momma In your eyes of infinite water bathe the little stars, momma Water of light, water of stars Pachamama you come from the sky Water of light, water of stars Pachamama you come from the sky Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse the heart, brilliant water Heal, heal, heal the heart, blessed water Calm, calm, calm the heart with water from the sky, momma Pachamama Mother Earth Spanish lyrics: Agua de Estellas https://www.google.com/search?q=agua+de+estrellas+letra&oq=agua+de+estrellas+letra&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61.7802j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

The materialistic philosophers, based on the assumption that conscousness is generated by the brain, then say that consciousness is an epiphenomenon. That means a secondary by-product, and that your consciousness actually doesn’t exist. Think about that. The materialistic assumption is that what is most real to you – your experience – doesn’t actually exist. You are just an imagination somehow generated by a piece of meat. Contemplate that. Does that explanation satisfy you? -

Andrew Tate isn’t that interesting. What is interesting is the question of why he has so many fans and what was the message he crafted? What made Tate successful was also the seeds of his downfall: - extreme aggressiveness combined with a lack of morality and ethics. Tate was successful because his competitiveness, manipulativeness, and lack of concern for others is rewarded in our capitalistic system. Trump was able to gather great wealth using the same tactics. He is popular because dissatisfied men who don’t feel they are winning know that what he is teaching works in America. When you look at the big picture, Tate is harmless compared to the market fundamentalist economists that teach fraudulent theories in every business school in America, which throw millions into poverty and destroy the environment. It is easy to dismiss his fans as immature, but are they just trying to figure out how to prosper in a dysfunctional system? Are they not getting a double message? If a man isn’t like Tate, he ends up living a life alone without any companionship, but Tate gets thrown in jail for fully embracing the values of the prevailing system. -

I remember years ago I took a tour of Alcatraz, and the tour guide was a guard there when Al Capone was serving time. He said Capone was fairly quiet and didn’t cause problems. He also knew the Birdman. When the authorities finally move in these thugs get their wings clipped and then the boys decide it is better not to be a thug after all. Al got the dolls too but he never thought of singing the “matrix” tune after getting caught. -

Criminals do it all the time. He was getting away with it, and instead of shutting up, he had to brag so everyone could see what a doll he was. Pride goeth before the fall. -

I know a lady from Mexico who loves snakes. She had a pet python but got rid of it when she had a child. I personally don't like snakes and ran away from a big one in the jungle when he moved up to within stricking distance. I know my fear of snakes comes from Judeo-Christian conditioning and would like to overcome it.

The nasal quality is part of being in the head. It's like a head that just happens to have a body attached.
