  1. the woman clearly asks him about "plant medicine" and they title the video with weed and alcohol? wtf silly
  2. Oh yes everyday almost I generally put some raw cacao powder, hot water, honey and coconut milk in it.
  3. What's your definition of propaganda? IMO probably almost all (or all) news outlets, reporters etc. are doing propaganda to some degree because distributed information is always a bit biased. Even someone like Bernie Sanders (whom i like) if he talks great about Nordic European systems, countries etc. he probably wouldn't tell you about their problems a lot. He keeps certain info in and leaves certain info out to fit a certain a narrative Now with some it's much more obvious (and also dangerous) than with others. So maybe we can agree that when a certain line is crossed we can really call it propaganda. I think if you're watching news (and i'm not suggesting you necessarily need to or should) then it's good to also watch news from opposing viewpoints sometimes even if it's "propaganda"
  4. Yea i stated it very generally because it's basically about everything. Even a statement like "the sky is blue" isn't really true. But it can get very dangerous with things like politics, religion etc.
  5. Freedom of expression, right to criticise religion, leaders etc. make fun of them, talk about everything? Or the feelings of certain individuals who feel discriminated against? For example right now there's a huge issue in France after those released comics and a teacher got beheaded. Then the french president said "we'll always allow these comics, it's freedom of expression/speech and important for our society" Now some muslim countries started boycotting France and it just looks like more and more conflict. Also interesting though that Erdogan etc. for example don't criticise and boycott China for their "re-education camps" etc. How can this all be resolved?
  6. What if they don't want to live in a free country because they think it's less/not enough stable? Same goes for Russians and Russia etc.
  7. Nah they have a lot of soft power with hollywood etc. too. Also tech
  8. have you done some guided vypassana/silent etc. retreats before?
  9. She certainly seems a bit less extreme than her father but she's still pretty extreme. Maybe she's also acting more tame, throwing her father out etc. to make her more "electable" But maybe @Shin could tell us more about it, i don't know that much. But also these right wing populists in Europe can be supported by outside forces like Russia, China and even the US. Because they don't like to see a strong united E.U. Trump and Bannon etc. were very happy about Brexit for example.
  10. haha nah relax, you knew he'd never give up or accept a loss
  11. yea we'll see, if le pen gets elected in france then it's looking really bleak for the e.u. as a project don't know how realistic that is though
  12. yea hungary, turkey, brazil etc. are still basically run by "right wing" populists
  13. I used to think that too. From that Eckhart Tolle etc. school of thought. "You are the awareness in which the thoughts pop up, but you're not your thoughts" But if you are everything, you must be your thoughts too?
  14. at the 2 hour 20 minute mark, they talk about that
  15. 15% mostly depending on how much outside interference there is imo
  16. It was a pretty deep/cool vision though I felt like some kind of sayajin or something like that, who has lived on different planets for thousands of years
  17. obviously not, there are many people who supported trump and some don't care. also some thought trump was good for the eu's emancipation and growing up but more supported biden for sure
  18. But if you are god. And you chose/created this existence, then you certainly also choose/create the thoughts which pop up in your mind?
  19. well obviously these are just buzzwords but i assume you want the freedom to have an abortion, take psychs, feel free in your sexual orientation, travel wherever you want, choose your partner and end the relationship when you want, choose your religion/system of beliefs or have none at all, vote etc.
