Yeah, and people tend to come out of prison more damaged than when the went in. Prison removes the immediate danger for society, but doesn't solve the problem in the long run. If the world developed empathy for criminals in general, we would have proper rehab and lasting solutions. A culture that just wants to punish ends up shooting itself in the foot.

Nice.

One thing you can say for Brand is that he beat heroin, so in court the emphasis will be on how much he has changed, for less harsh sentencing. Not being able to locate that bible verse didn't help tho.

Go watch the talk show he had in his 20's, he was proper anarchist.

I hear you, it might be hard to definitively prove that he went MAGA/Christian just because of the court case tho. He was always buddy buddy with people like Joe Rogan etc.

I went to have a look at his channel. He recently did a piece where he dissed Mamdani, but Mamdani literally represents what he stood for at one point, before all this Trump madness happened. Funny enough, when you look at his comment section, the people who actually still support him are the church people.

Aha, I see. Then why would he openly admit to this outside the court ? What did he have to gain by mentioning this now ?

According to Google the age of consent in most states in US is 16, so not sure why that specific reveal by Brand was that controversial.

Moon looks fake

I remember watching Bentinho teach nonduality to a small class of older people when he was like 18. Dude was quite something. I see he's 38 now. Must be a bit strange waking up so early.

I hear you, my point is that technically it would be possible to prevent pedophilia by teaching people from a young age to connect more deeply with themselves.

How exactly is patriarchy the root cause of pedophilia ? I think you were more correct when you said: lack of connection with self.

Spot on, so if people were taught from a young age how to actually connect with themselves, pedophilia might disappear all together.

Being enraged, prison sentences etc does not seem to bring the number of pedophiles down. Perhaps finding the root cause and giving appropriate therapy might actually help.

This part is even more revealing. Dude was in the very inner circle. When he confronted Bentinho about all the fighting with the two girlfriends, he got subjected to some proper gaslighting on steroids. You just never know whats really happening behind the scenes with anyone.

I worked with a neuroscience coach, Dax Moy, he was a paratrooper in British special forces, then took up neuroscience for his PTSD. Its NLP type stuff with a lot of emphasis on how different environments influence us, and by how making small tweaks to our environment can have big effects.

Aha, yeah and the external influences can be quite subtle. Simply putting on different clothes already brings change. I heard of a woman who's depression lifted simply after removing an old item from her home that was linked to a bad breakup.

What I'm hearing is: get really clear on what you value and why. Then find a way to realign your values with what you want more of in your life. Then you will naturally take action in a more effective way. Or are you saying something else ?

How about simply condemning the genocide, instead of looking for reasons to justify.

I think there would be way more interest if they went for a walk on the moon.
