yeah this is helpful. I realize for instance if I experienced all the stuff hitler did and was in his position with his means and level of consciousness I would have very likely made similar choices he did. It doesn't make what he did "excusable" or not selfish or not to be held accountable for but it puts into perspective how anyone could have turned out like that and thus there is no reason to judge.

I saw that conor video you posted and want to try this now. I've only heard of it before but I think it is a dimension that may be helpful for me. I'm currently single so I'm going to be practicing on my own. Gonna look up some books and share them when I find them.

love him

this dude has been doing some hardcore seeking since his ayahuasca awakening

This is a VERY common fantasy for many women. It's so common that it is often enjoyed through novels (50 shades), porn, etc. I've dated and spoke to many women who have this same emotional attraction to varying degrees. Many women have this fantasy and there is nothing wrong with it. There is an aspect of the feminine that wishes to be embraced by the masculine like this. All you have to be conscious of is engaging with it consciously. That is it. No need to feel shame about it and it doesn't make you a defective or wrong person. There is so much shame around sexuality. I think as a society we need to realize sexuality is much more expansive than we realize. It is sort of an avenue that various emotional needs may manifest in. No need to feel bad about the content. Just look for ways to satisfy it in healthy ways. Many masculine men fantasies about dominating women, owning them sexually, etc. Find a partner who is on the opposite of the pole of your fantasy and fulfill each other's together.

lurked some right wing message boards. the meltdown and delusion is so thick it can be cut with a knife.

The problem with the argument most people make for the US not being the planet’s s police is that it fails to take into account how such a situation arose in the first place, why it still is and the ramifications of a suddenly the US had its military cut into half and no longer played the role over the course of say one presidential term. It’s not as simple as just cutting budgets and taking troops home. Sure, an audit could be performed and cutting the budget of the military is needed but it isn’t as simple as brining troops home. The balance of power I think is something people take for granted.

throwing one of their own under the bus

there is a good video of a lawyer explaining this possible scenario. I can't find it but it was good and basically he would be escorted out by the military.

I'll check out the manga. I saw the anime and it was really good.

I wonder if he will participate in the inauguration of Biden or if this will be the first time in recent memory that a president skips it entirely

I eat a pound of salmon a week at least... need to do this detox soon ._.

yeah I posted this in the election thread. reminded me of this guy.

I knew you would post something good in here

I would say that first off it's realizing that there is no "best way." It is far more complex and the best arguments and most functional notions will be dynamic and incorporative. Shapiro's can sometimes be hard to debunk because there is an element of truth to them that is woven into the fabric of the argument. Each argument or notion is different and a truly skilled and deep thinker will be open to all possibilities and complexities. My reply is kinda abstract but it's sort of how it is. There is no best way just better habits and ways of approaching issues and looking for integrative solutions.

hmm this is an interesting way of defining foregiveness. I haven't thought of it like this before. this is helpful, thanks

yeah you are right. for instance I don't think some person who plots out some terrible rape or murder even though they may appear articulate is doing so from a place of no suffering or selfless love but out of some deep seeded fear or pain.

my last few trips were terrible so I'm taking a break from psychedelics till I have a firm footing

this is just spiritual mumbo jumbo at this point. it has yet to be integrated into the relative for me. it's easy preaching stuff like this until someone wrongs you on a deep level and you have to practice what you preach. hmm this is helpful. it's easy to judge them but if I was to experiencing their point of view with whatever means they have I would likely be making similar choices they are.

This already happens with the unfortunate circumstances of ignorance. If anything it being legal will allow for a system to be built so some kid knows not to take 7grams of mushrooms or some person doesn’t die at some unsanctioned retreat.

You seem to be the ones making (I think) claims without even saying what they are. I’m not wasting my time reading some random book because some people on this site seem to be worried about something they aren’t even bothering to articulate what they are talking about.
