yeah but then there is a missing story of the color red

Imo this is such a broad and complex issue it should be discussed on various levels . I understand that it's just a forum and that we should not take it too seriously but still I will raise some of what I believe are valid points that can help create more awareness whether here or in real life First the level of structure . Modern (green) governments have their structures build on the basis of democracy which means decentralisation of power . The more developed a government is the more decentralised its power is . In Spiral Dynamics the forum moderation is basically stage blue structure where the authority has all the power and the user has almost zero power . Aside from that being a very crude level of moderation on a progressive level in such advanced times, this issue is ignored completely and never even talked about or brought to light like it doesn't even exist and like it's a reality we have to deal with or else we're not welcome. The internet as a structure is basically stage green and it allows for communitys almost of any kind to exist . Forums like this live in the grace of stage green internet environment while they establish whatever environments they want . This is where socialism is being misused by capitalism . A capitalist is allowed to have his own dictatorship within the larger system of socialism . This is normalised like it's just the way life is and supposed to be but in fact its a form of misusing power . To be fair though this is not exclusive to this forum in particular it is more importantly a real life issue . The only two things that helps in the decentralisation here is the report and ignore options, the latter which is limited to normal users, and the former which is dependent on the moderators judgement and biases Which brings us to the second important point which is the subjectivity of the judgement of the mods and their human biases and possible complexities (aka personal egos). for instance (attachments below) very recently the mod @Max_V has bumped up a dead thread from 7 freaking days ago and locked it with the statement stupid discussion. Here: seriously what excuse could this lock possibly have??? Honestly to me it sounds like misusing the moderation privileges with very little awareness and possibly with troubled psychology . While I agree that the thread wasn't insightful at all, to me that still does not justify such power abuse. And to be completely honest it rather looks like someone who got bored and decided to go horsing around discovering their powers possibly as an ego boost. Instead the user could be shown instructions on how to post high quality threads (idea: Leo and mods should make a in depth guide for high quality posting) . Other examples I have for power abuse is when some mod gets emotional and can't control themselves. I would say that happens on a moderate rate as mods are after all just human beings. I've witnessed this myself in many occasions when a mod is arguing with someone the mod is always right and the user is always closed minded and ignorant. Gaslighting is a common technique I see mods demonstrating as well. Projection as a defence mechanism is usually present too. And for God's sake some mods are like 20 years old or younger I mean wtf man are you serious? And finally the serious mental issues that some mods have and ignore. I don't want to name names but some mods clearly have mental illnesses such as ocd and intrusive thoughts, some of them have superiority or inferiority complexes, some of them have sadistic tendencies. And these are not things I'm speculating about. These are things said explicitly here by certain mods (they know themselves). But the worst part is that even then, not everything is always said. A lot of things go under the radar and the mods give themselves a pass for ignoring their issues because power is appealing to the ego so they compromise honesty for power and they rather cling to it unjustifiably without being transparent enough to air out their inefficiency in an honest responsible mature manner. Lack of responsibility is a huge indicator of corruption and it should be really discussed instead of getting ignored . thank you for reading and thank you @Martin123 for bringing up the topic I appreciate your courage it inspired me to stand up against what I believe is abuse and corruption

Makes perfect sense but still doesnt feel completely right . If living is selfless then selfishness is selfless also . I think it dont matter anyway tho and only selfish people will get mad at other selfish people because selfless cant feel mad or want to control . All of human behavior mainly aim for controlling the narrative even the supposedly most selfless behaviors. The only way out of selfishness is truth but it will still be selfish if we try to force it so as always it is what it is and its inevitable

I think its more useful to ask why hadn't any alien spaceships been shot down yet? With all the crazy impulsive people that ruled throughout the past century like Hitler and Stalin and Kim Jong . Its weird that their not interested in aliens or at least thats what it seems . Something fishy about it I think

You are the body and beyond Limitations is just a thought

Maybe surrender and be aware of this body vs mind dissonance

Yo whats going on with shooting aliens down ? It doesnt have to be intentional . I find it hard to believe that all governments have agreed to never shoot any unidentified objects even by mistake . At least the first few times if I was government I would think its a drone spy and destroy it asap . The discussion has gone in a really weird direction .

@Fadl@Fadl the absolute truth is the absolute truth because otherwise it wont be the absolute truth but something else It will always be absolutely true regardless of my or your opinion or knowledge thats why its absolute truth because it comes prior to everything else

The real question here is not whether ufos are real . It is whether they are more intelligent or higher beings . I dont understand why the basic assumption is always that any alien life must be of higher intelligence . And Im not saying humans are the most intelligent but who knows and why assume anything? It may be true that aliens have more developed technology but that is in no way correlated with higher consciousness . In fact it seems stupid from them to be seen by us and they should be camouflaged unless they want us to think that their watching us . Another question is if their too plenty why governments dont shoot them down with patriots and s400 and bmd and all that? Are governments afraid or what?

What is hard is free will and love and goodness I just cant wrap my head around it

Yo time and change are like the easiest thing to understand its very simple , there is one ever-present thing that is absolute time , and there is mini or relative time which is fragments of absolute time or the human concept we know . And as for change there is one infinite God that is changing forms and interacting with it self all the time You cant pinpoint God to the present moment because the present moment is not a single second . It is God and absolute time

Thanks Leo , the only constant is change I like it , but how do I connect that with love? I can see that things exist and existence doesnt reject but also why I can imagine some thing like better realities? If I can imagine some thing better than current existence from my pov than I am imagining some thing that is not there. This mean my imagination is false?

Hi I hope you all are well My name is Yuto. Ive been lurking around for a while and this is my first post on actualized forum So there is one question I have and I dont want to be mis-understood and attacked (not materalistic paradigm) Its how I can trust psychadelic insights? especially mushrooms. I have tried a few times and honestly after the experience is over it doesnt make sense and I doubt every thing but when I am high I feel like I know every thing and that I am god. Why does this happen? Scientists say its delusions and hallucinations and I think their right because one time I thought my hand is the hand of god and I can create anything with it and one time I thought my friend who is dead was alive. I can give it a pass that my hand is the hand of god but my friend is dead and I imagine he was alive its complete illusion so why trust the other insight or any other insight?.

What is intuition? I feel like its all illusion and science is right . If I understand correctly I should transcend and include that means be post rational not pre rational , and nitpicking in this case will be a logical fallacy which is pre rational

Sounds like unnecessary word game based on duality and disguised in non duality What you mean by reality is dual to begin with because its contrasted against unreality but you deny that and assume that reality is absolute but thats not quite correct because absolute doesnt change

@seeking_brilliance@seeking_brilliance sorry cant remove tag @rav@rav and there is solution?

@seeking_brilliance@seeking_brilliance so you mean that I can use filter for interpreting the information I get from trips. Alright but how can I know what is the right filter? In my case I was in emotional vulnerability and my friend was a good friend so it might be the reason I needed support but connecting the two events is arbitrary and there is no evidence its right

Sounds like a very distinct thing (some thing) Philosophy

The mind is something or nothing? Why I cant get it through the mind if its nothing also?

People want you be good bcause it serves them but you can do anything most people are hipocrites and not honest. Whatever you do in life its one of two thing authantic or not authantic. You can do good or bad and be authantic and you can do good and bad and be not authantic. good is perceived by you not same by others and hell is paved with good intentions Do good or dont it dont matter its all 0 in the end

Does this means nothingness is not every thing? bcause there is also my concept about it? So two things nothingness and concepts or maybe three things nothingness and concepts and distinctions

What are you talking about? Who said anything about language?

Um I wont say but but I will say and And how do this make it not philosophy? And get what? The philosophy your talking

Ah another philosophy on how to get to some where Do having intellect a bad thing?

Sounds like too much intellect to me only difference is that its grounded in the present moment without no time. interesting philosophy
