After watching the video I am contemplating the hunter gatherer lifestyle. I didnt even know that I could like that. Even though it seems a bit ideolized there really are great things about it like a short work week, healthy social integration, nature, rest, peace, equality. Its even pretty ethical, carnivores are needed to keep herbivores in check so humans could fill that role and do cleaner less painful kills. The calories coming from hunting were only 20-40% anyway. A lot of kids died but when they survived until 15 appearently many became 60 to 70 years old so it was a pretty healthy lifestyle. If modern modicine just helped out in a few key ways people could live just as long or longer then we do today. We could do so much cool shit on earth..

https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-183 Like with everything in spirituality its not about believing anything - like that you are evil, its about expanding your consciousness.

Is the feeling that I am good even though I am evil party created by my low state of consciousness itself, or is it only created by socialization (aka we all pretend to be nice to get benefits and deceive others and ourselves) ?

Putting this on my playlist haha.

photography idea I generated the basic idea, the prototype with chatgpt. I am not satisfied with it yet, maybe an actual snapshot could capture what I had in mind. Basically the seeds of the dandelion can kind of look like stars. In reality they dont like stars enough sadly so they need to be edited a bit. The picture could showcase a bit of an illusion, where the seeds look very similar to stars so they mix right in and that would create a feeling of transition and also connection between earth and the universe.

I used to be able to cut a quote in half with the paragraph key. It doesnt work anymore. Does anyone have similiar experiences? Its not a huge deal but it was kind of nice, especially when you want to shorten a quote and want to take the video or picture out at the end which isnt possible now.

Oh interesting, it still works on Safari on my Mac - I thought that was the real reason. I only recently transitioned to Firefox so I cant tell if it ever would have worked.

Do you mean who does the best speeches or who is best at doing the speaking? For the latter I would put Jordan Peterson on the top as he is just great at capturing an audience with his speaking ability. Oh Alan Watts also.

Very much agree with Applegarden. There are some great videos from Jordan Peterson as well. Haha its so refreshing to see him before he turned to the dark side, this is real gold. Somewhere in the internet there is a video where he talks about a female patient of him who is very socially anxious and he tolds her to basically keep exposing herself and while it was though she made insane progress in a short amount of time, she was basically unrecognizable after a few months. Cant find the video unfortunately but thats basically it, if you just keep at it you can change so much. This is also valueable: The power lies in the practice and not the theory though.

Begs the question if it could be added as a feature though? Of course only if its easy to do, its just a comfort thing at the end.

Oh that was it, you are right!

@Yimpa No, I cant highlight the picture and delete it. Maybe it works on other devices, on Mac it doesnt seem to be possible.

Kind of. I noticed splitting makes two things easy: 1) As I said when there is a video or picture right at the end you cant get your mouse under that and remove it so if you want to shorten a quote with a picture at the end this seems to be only possible with splitting. 2) Sometimes you want to respond to parts of the quote. You can work around that by quoting the whole quote multiple times and removing different parts of it, its less comfortable though. Its not a huge deal but I noticed the absence of that feature.

that one:

What do you mean by that?

Have you ever went to one of his workshops?

Thats actually very insightful, thanks for sharing. I didnt see all the possible mechanisms at play. Imagine someone shot with the gun in the air at that exact moment. Not at trump, just as a loud shocker. That would burn the slender tentacles who test the waters and dont yet have a strong grip on reality and what they can get away with. It would set the reaction tone from the very beginning. It would be in the news and would make many people aware of the hidden process going on very early.

I am asking that as well, but I think there are degrees of corruption. Critiquing corruption from a higher perspective is like a neccassary INTERIUM solution. Or you could be like Socrates and consciously die for truth.

I read it as existence as a form/ manifestation is already corruption which would include humans of course. Its a bit confusing to me though, are only thoughts meant by it or also physical objects? Like how can a rock (who is something) be corrupt and untrue from its soemthingness? For the mental realm it makes more sense though. But then I dont understand the following. Trying to make sense of reality in terms of concepts for example is a thing, as a concept is a thing. Yes the map is not the territory so whatever you speak about is a reference to something real and therefore not the real thing itself. So truth cannot be uttered and that might be absolutely true. But then there are some perspectives which are more true then other - or not? I guess the untrue perspectives are loaded with stuff while the more true perspectives try to say as little as possible but as much as necessary. Speaking in the direction of truth be like:

I felt a little sick the last couple of days. Interestingly though I kinda improve at socializing through that. My system just has less resources to work with and appearently oversensitivity takes up so much energy that it gets very noticable cut when I am sick. Not sure how that is for other people.

There are expensive microwaves with real steaming options not just imitations. They have an extra water tank and cost at least 500 dollars. Does anyone have it? How is the steaming option compared to normal steamers? How practical is it?

LMAO I didnt realize modern induction hobs can set a timer. Thank god for my decision making freeze that I havent bought one of these expensive microwaves. You can just put a timer on your cooking pot with the 10 dollar klocker within and you can steam your veggies just as comfortably.

I just read my own post again. This actually resonates a ton with me. I find that everybody is so inauthentic, often running after meaningless stuff, morally either a piece of shit or hypocritical, fake or manipulative.. and every role model is limited because you cant replicate something that was shaped in spirit because spirit is moving. So you gotta get to the source ultimately. And yes I like to understand God as well but its more like a side project I am WAY more interested in feeling God.

I think its interesting that I find my own mind weird. I mean its my mind, why dont I find every other mind weird instead? Well I guess it has to do with being a functional citizen to have this collective (common) sense of what is normal.

Political Take #1: So in most countries wealth is distributed very unequally. In America for example, there is a big difference in income, where a Ceo can earn about x10 as much as an averge worker but a way bigger difference in wealth where the difference can easily be x1000 of the amount. These are rough estimations of course, exceptional cases like an Elon Musk are even more extreme. If everybody in america would put their whole wealth in one pot and then the wealth would be distributed equally to everybody then everybody would have about half a million dollar. That would include children, non-worker, homeless people (everybody). Would that be fair? No, but it gives an important perspective of how much wealth there is. The magnitude of the wealth gap raises questions of equity. Even assuming some fortunes are fully earned, two structural points remain: 1) once you get rich you basically won monopoly and can just let your money work for itself, so no hard worker could ever catch up to you and 2) the wealth of the richest people is often not reinvested in the economy but dead money invested in stocks waiting to increase by itself. So policy steps are needed if people at the bottom are going to catch up. Some countries do a better job than others. Scandinavia is often held up as proof that more even distribution can still go hand-in-hand with a healthy economy. What should be noted however is that even if the economy takes a small hit from radical wealth redistribution, it would still be an incredible moral victory because the life quality of the mass increased significantly. And along with that the country becomes more stable which in a holistic view is also important for the economy because it could prevent future headaches like inner polarization, conflicts with other countries, ... which all hurt the economy as well. What prevents a country from doing major wealth distribution (besides plain corruption) is often that the very rich might just leave the country if the taxation is too much which would hurt the country itself, leaving no money left to redistribute. So that got me thinking: countries actually have a responsibility for taxing the rich (!) , because if they dont then they become low-tax havens that undermine the moral fabric and the tax bases of other nations. So to solve this there would need to be power measure that keep countries in check. One that came to mind was that there could be economic favors for countries which do stronger wealth distribution. For example countries with strong wealth distribution could have tarrif cuts while countries with bad wealth distribution get higher tarrifs. A third neutral party would be responsible for collecting the data and making suggestions based on transparent calculations. This would make it more beneficial for countries to redistribute their wealth even if some of the richest people in their country left. The more countries which would take part of this, the stronger the effect, the stronger the rich can get taxed. If everybody would be on board the only limit would be that it still needs enough of an incentive to start a biz. The problem however is that this would pose a thread to many corrupt countries where the rich and powerful are in power. So realistically this could maybe only be applied in parts of Europe and some other countries scattered around the globe which are socially progresse (stage green). So to really be effective basically the center of gravity/ the general mindset on earth would need to be progressive and egalitarian. Because most countries in the world arent, billionares still have way to many places to run. The seed however can already be planted and slowly be expanded when countries manage to catch up. Similar to other ideas like the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) or OECD “Pillar Two” 15 % minimum corporate tax.
