  1. A lot of frustration must be in these people of migration-backround. Otherwise they would not be so extremely violent. This violence happens in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands to and clearly originates from african and middle eastern migrants/migration-backround people. I remember a very similar kind of violence in England in 2011. Or the BLM riots in the USA. In all of the cases someone of a ethnic minority is killed by police and then violence erupts.
  2. What confuses me is the difference between his videos and his blog/forum posts. In his videos he is very open minded, fair and serene. But on the forum and blog, especially when it comes to politics, he can be very judgmental and antagonistic. I always picture him as being angry when he rants about politics, but I don't know
  3. @Jacob Morres Electromagnetic fields are harmful. They damage human tissue. It is smart to avoid them.
  4. That is a very bad comparison. Hitler was a Nazi because he entered and lead the so called Nazi-party RFK doesn't call himself a conspiracy theorist, others put the label on him.
  5. As far as I know, the paradigm of dividing political worldviews in right (conservative) and left (progressive) stems from the French Revolution and how the proponents of the old system sat right in the parliament and the progressive thinkers sat left. People are not one-dimensional. There are many aspects constituting to a worldview. People have positions on multiple topics. Everyone has conservative and progressive positions. There is no person who is 100% conservative or progressive, though there are centers of gravity. People may be nationalists and support LGBT struggles, others may criticize capitalism and support gun ownership, there are authoritarian vegans and liberal christians etc. Many people do not even know what these labels mean exactly, because the words do not point to their meaning. They use it for some kinds of stereo types. I especially see the attribution of other meanings into left/right problematic. Often times the left is being defined as being liberal and the right with being authoritarian. That is not necessarily true. It depends on the zeitgeist. If either you are a “leftist” or a “right winger” you tend to attribute all your criticism to the other side. This lead to the inflammatory division in western politics we see today, where in every situation a split is created between the populace. But there are many potential ways of dealing with situations. There are third and fourth ones and so on. A balanced multidimensional way of thinking would help to soften the division up. In political media, almost every time, organizations, parties and people are characterized by how left/right they are, and then the above mentioned demonizing mostly follows.
  6. @zurew I'm not talking about the corona vaccine btw. I personally have not investigated them that much, so I don't argue for or against them. Read what I wrote.
  7. I agree that he talks too much, but he cites very specific sources. That's what you overlook. Because if one pharma corporation drags the vaccine of another into the mud, their business will suffer to, because more people will see what limitations and dangers vaccines have, you see Kennedy is a lawyer so his job is to expose injustice. As I said he's quite paradigm locked. Of course there is no big global conspiracy, at least on the relative level not I agree that that's important, but where does skepticism stop. You can be skeptible about everything. With enough evidence, for example concerning thimerosal as a cause of autism, more than enough evidence is there to accept it as knowledge that it causes damage. Ever heard of whistle-blowers? Ever heard of leaks? The CDC-whistleblower William Thompson for example concerning vaccines Edward Snowden concerning mass surveillance Julian Assange had his sources, for example Chalsea Manning The Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu, who leaked information of Israeli nuclear weapons Off course you are right, but who is saying, that the wordl is run by a secret cabal? That is what I mean by "conspiracy theorist straw man" Your points are valid, as are the points of Kennedy as well as others who posted in this topic. The problem is, that when such debates happen everyone jumps to extremes in order to protect their opinion. It gets inflammatory and people cut of part of the truth. A better option would be if one synthesizes the good and valid points of the "corruption fighters", of the people subscribing to scientism, of people arguing for the importance of the pharmaceutical industry or the transparency of regulatory agencies, of truthers, of skepticists, of liberals, of conservatives and so on.
  8. @zurewKennedy is focusing on controversial topics involving massive injustice and corruption. Of course he gets paradigm locked into conspiracies, because they happen. They involve mighty industries using their massive capital to fund tabbacco science and to bribe said institutions. That's a win-win situation. The agencies are stuffed with corporate money and the corporations are spared from regulation and liability. This got even worse with revolving doors - industry bureaucrats go into the regulatory agencies and change things from the inside and useful employees of the agencies get well payed positions in industry after they retire. That is one of the main problems of our times - Lobbying Now pair this with the typical human phenomenon of the inert paradigm. The medical, economic, etc. mainstream worldview is challenged, which leads the current establishment to get dogmatic and over-conservative. When it comes to certain topics, where institutions have financial entanglements or corruption happened, whose uncovering they are trying to prevent, things turn ridiculous. Damage from vaccines constituents for example, endangers the health agency (for being uncareful) and the massive profit and reputation pharma corporation - what do you think will happen if there is too little transparency ? We are living in an ever more globalized world. Conflicts of worldview and over new paradigms are carried out on an ever more globalized stage. Be careful not to use a conspiracy theorist straw man.
  9. @sholomar Doesn't that boil down to collective ego?
  10. But what do you think about the use of the left/right concept? As I said, I think it is overused (paradigm lock alert) and people seem to be too uneducated (which is not the models fault per se, but it's dualistic nature leads to bipartisanship)
  11. Why is the whole pandemic just a dream, like a movie without back story, and at the same time the vaccine saved millions of lives?
  12. What are in your opinion the most profound, consciousness-raising episodes of Actualized.org?
  13. Thanks, that's a lot to chew on.
  14. Every day I enter a infinite void. There is nothing, not even time. Then out of this nonexistence, perceptions arise. At first very subtle, then of heightened intensity. I am terrorized by the thought of the end of my life, death, but isn't it true that the sense of self, that being, seizes to exist every day. How is this any different than dying? This is the end of being. But then it arises again, but who can guarantee this?
  15. Ok I can can comprehend that monism intellectually. Consciousness is the substance of everything. The threat deals with the unconsciousness of deep sleep though. To the questions: Who is the I that is aware of sensations, thoughts, and feelings? Consciousness itself What happens when sensations, thoughts, and feelings recede? New ones arise, or better they flow into each other like waves. Does absolute awareness suddenly stop in the absence of apparent objects? In my humble opinion yes, because it is anchored in sensations. No sensations, no consciousness, no being
  16. So, you say awareness ultimately does not need an object, sensation, etc.? I have a sense of being, because I'm aware of sensations, thoughts, feelings. Without them nothing would exist. No awareness = no being
  17. @ZenAlex Look into and study the hell out of detoxification.
  18. Thanks so far.
  19. Ok interesting, I didn't expect that. But yeah, these videos do have a big impact in how one changes his or her live.
  20. It is not in my experience that I choose.
  21. Absolutely nothing. But in the waking state there is consciousness. There seems to be a state of conscious deep sleep called Jagrat Sushupti. Apparently one can practice to enter it.
  22. @Schizophonia Do you know that? I have periods of alcohol cravings where I am maybe drinking on one day, but have to fight against it the rest of the week. Addiction is a coercion of the mind. Either you give in or not.
