  1. no easy solutions to mass political ignorance of American voting bloc. Much of it has to do with how corrupt mass media / social media is in shaping epistemology and political discourse. Mis information will only get worse under Trump
  2. Well .. this thinking is what got Trump elected. Populism only works for a citizenry who isn’t idiotic enough to vote for a corrupt narcissist like Trump, thinking he will solve any real issues of wealth inequality. Americans do not deserve, nor are they ready for progressive populism. We need to get real about this.
  3. Out of curiosity, What was your process for coming to this conclusion? Seems like you are putting on a pedestal women's process of sexual selection over the men's process. Circumstantial and physical attractiveness can be factors for both genders -- not everything reduces to gender differences. What you have is women who are horrible at choosing sexual partners, just as there are men who are horrible at it as well. Both can be self deceived in unique and distinct ways.
  4. Yes-probably our best bet. Neither Bernie or AOC will advance any progressive agenda so long as corporate lobbying is influencing Dem & Repub policy, there are zero signs of any progress there-and a Trump administration only prolongs things. Taxing wealth is so unpopular in American political culture these days- its a true shame. Feels like every powerful person is out to destroy the middle class by any means necessary.
  5. Awesome- thank you @Yimpa !
  6. how tf do you explain this? I'm still trying to figure it out:
  7. difference between philosophical perv vs. epistemic scoundrel?
  8. Unreal-beautiful video-thanks for posting! @Leo Gura:
  9. Construct awareness 5/6 I notice that this allows us to be more open to spotting limitations of models and not turning them into dogma or ideology -
  10. Seems like omniscience is an Absolute, but how do we square this with laws of relativism? I’m sure there are arguments against the existence of Absolute Omniscience.

  12. New metric for level of Consciousness & development: quality of porn you watch. Looks like I got more work to do On a serious note-what distinguishes low quality from high quality porn? Not so obvious I feel
  13. Happy Birthday! 🎂
  14. For good ole' times sake:
  15. Scoundrels are confident and proud of their ability to spin bullshit I see
  16. That’s not so obvious
  17. 20Ms could help manage those chronic health issues ..assuming Leo’s mind is highly developed-could use it to come up with creative ways to reframe shitty life circumstances, and somehow tie it back to Love / Infinity. But … there are some big assumptions being made about what 20Ms could do, along with Leo’s mind. No easy way out of risks here
  18. The epistemological costs certainly outweighs the material gains of 20Ms
  19. Social constructs are cool !
  20. @Razard86 props on your post, hope to see more of them
  21. Hmm this is a bit abstract. Are you speaking of an individual or group of individuals? It helps to separate genuine insight of a teaching from the personality or delivery of the teacher. Easier said than done, but it’s a significant trap to look out for. In the end, you will realize these teachers and teachings are all constructs imagined by Infinite Consciousness. Now to the real question: what is Infinite Consciousness? This opens the door to the Eternal, through relentless investigation, experimentation and contemplation. A teachers personality flaws are irrelevant to exploring such a question in your own Mind Also-keep mind that descriptive terms like “dignified” and “vulgar” are relative. There is no substance to such terms and they come with many preconceived notions and human biases. It helps deeply question such labels, and dropping them entirely to reach higher Consciousness (which is the only Absolute in the Universe.)
  22. I find people over exaggerate this topic. Yes you don’t want to waste all of your youth doing dumb stuff, but being stupid is part of the natural maturation process. You have many years to live given good health and mental stability. But there are certainly things you can do that will cripple your life permanently. Do not underestimate the power of having a mentor- someone’s who been thru the ups and downs that you can learn from Find a mentor in various areas you seek to master in life
  23. Consciousness has nothing to compare itself to. No one can Awaken except yourself To grasp this is to understand the whole thing
