Instead of getting the news from CNN, MSNBC or Fox News for that matter, it is better to watch independent journalists that don't take sides; no left-wing or right-wing. With that being said, I've seen a great analysis by an independent journalist (YouTube link here) about January 6th, the so-called "insurrection day". It wasn't an insurrection day, of course. Dennis Prager, a man with common sense, a talk show guy, and a radio host told us just that. And now, the F.B.I is telling us that there wasn't an insurrection day. Besides that, I can not take seriously those who believed that what happened at Capitol Hill on January 6th was an insurrection day. Sorry to say it but the world has lost its common sense. As for those who thought that Trump was responsible for "the insurrection", now is the time to realize that you're easily manipulated and that you have too much faith in the Democratic Party. Not only that but your judgment? The public has been fed a completely false reality.

Thank you for the irony.

I can no take Dennis Prager as a bullsh*tter since he teaches young people to be wise, disciplined, hard-working, and rational. He's over 70 years old and he visited over 150 countries. I can't call such a person a bullsh*tter.

Hi. A dangerous ideology has penetrated American schools through "woke" professors. I've found a great YouTube video about this topic: I didn't expect Fox News to air an immigrant dad, so congratulations to them. We have to be against any ideology whatsoever, right-wing or left-wing. I enjoy learning from immigrants, as they know the low-life conditions of less developed nations.

I'm deeply saddened by the manner in which the Biden administration handled the situation in Afghanistan; they left the country without a concrete plan. I've seen a recent interview with Mike Pompeo on Fox News, in which he explained that the Trump administration has kept the country relatively safe and that they would have never left Afghanistan in such an un-cautious and reckless manner. Sean Hannity mentioned that Joe Biden has ignored the advice and the council of top military commanders that served under the strategy of the Trump administration, telling the Biden administration to ensure a safe evacuation by maintaining the necessary number of military troops until the full evacuation is conducted safely. Trump's advisors unapologetically warned the Biden administration long before this catastrophe has happened. Why didn't the Biden administration listen? We must get to the bottom of this.

I'm just saying what I believe. I don't want to argue with anyone... I observe things and make conclusions. If you favor Joe Biden or anyone else, that shouldn't be a bannable offense.

Yes. Trump is an insecure man. It comes from the way he was raised in childhood, always being browbeaten by his father. We know about the early childhood of Donald J. Trump. With that being said, I was an insecure child as well. We're all insecure to certain extents. I refuse to ostracize Trump, as I understand what Plato has been saying: "Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." I prefer not to condemn or hate or be annoyed by anyone, as I understand how the ego operates. Besides that, Donald J. Trump was a good president. He had successful policies and created a favorable environment for small businesses. Now, I understand that Trump has many flaws, I recognize that. But I also see the good things that he has done for the United States. That remains to be seen of Joe Biden, which has already disappointed me with the situation in Afghanistan, as his administration left the country in such a reckless manner. But I'm always open to give Biden a chance.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." ― Martin Luther King Jr. As you focus on the content of someone's character, the race is no longer relevant.

We shouldn't focus on race, never. We're human beings. We share the same consciousness. We should love each other unconditionally, which is a difficult move. I chose to love all people, regardless of background or race. According to Wikipedia, E Pluribus Unum – Latin for "Out of many, one" – is a traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal along with Annuit cœptis and Novus ordo seclorum; its inclusion on the seal was approved by an Act of Congress in 1782. It means that America is a country for all people, despite their backgrounds or where they come from. When you become an American, you're no longer judged by your race. As long as you focus on race, that suggests to me that you might become a racist over time. Learn from @Leo Gura and discard any ideology. It is not healthy for anyone's psyche.

I won't sit here and contradict you. That's not my intention. From the way you answer, it seems that you are in favor of "critical race theory", which is undoubtedly an ideology. A hateful one towards white people. Evel Bill Maher (a left-wing journalist and talk show host) was speaking against it. We shouldn't teach people to focus on race. We should teach them to love each other and embrace their differences. That's it.

The ideology of "critical race theory", which so many parents are now speaking against. We shouldn't force any ideology on children, especially in schools. All ideologies are dangerous, left-wing or right-wing. The antidote? The opposite of ideology, like raising your consciousness.

Just out of curiosity, have you watched the video? He was mentioning that schools have to teach children anything but ideology, like chemistry, science, math, and so forth. I totally agree with the dad's views. Ideology has no place in schools.

Do you mean the dad's views?

Yes. I agree when you're saying that I wouldn't want to live in Afghanistan right now. Under Taliban rule, you wouldn't want to live there either. That is just a matter of fact.

I agree. Fox News is a mainstream platform, and they spread a lot of right-wing ideology. Besides that, there are a few good journalists on Fox News that are less ideological. I choose to follow them, not the dogmatic ones.

I choose to label a concentration camp as "evil." Despite the illusions created by the egoic mind, the Gulag was, for me, absolute evil.

You're being too harsh on @Leo Gura, dude. Have more patience and he'll understand the significance of the ego. Just like a hammer, ego is a tool; you can use it to build or destroy something. Humans can not operate without ego in the context of building civilizations. If all people would pursue spirituality, civilization would soon collapse. Some values are fundamental for human life: freedom, the family unit, discipline, and so forth... These are all egoic based and they're not only good but derived from absolute Love.

Hello. I'm striving to become more conscious on a daily basis, doing what must be done to attain "the level of a master." I am doing that even when I don't feel like it, meaning that I don't let my dysfunctional mental states take over me and make me distract myself with social media or YouTube videos. There is something dysfunctional in my subconscious mind. I can feel that intensely and with clarity. I am conscious of the fact that something broken and maladjusted is always running in the back of my mind, making me seek caffeine or food just to alleviate that brokenness for a while. I'm an expert meditator and I can put myself in the present moment in less than ten seconds; it's that state of flow like "accessing concentration". With that being said, I still don't have that inner stillness that I want or the clarity of mind that allows me to read books without having an inner need and an impulse to be distracted with nonsense. Should I try psychedelics like LSD or Magic Mushrooms? Are they going to help me understand myself better? Or should I keep meditating continuously? I should not forget mentioning that I grew up in a dysfunctional family, with an alcoholic (violent) father and a distant, depressive mother. Should I give myself more time for healing and keep doing the "consciousness work?"

You must CUT contact with her as soon as possible and never chase her again. Let her come to you. The act of not chasing her will make her think about you and ask this question: "Why isn't that guy talking to me anymore? Why isn't he chasing me anymore?" When she'll be contacting you, set a date on the spot using this line: "I've been busy a lot lately but I would love to see you again. Why are you free to get together?" That is all you need to do.

Learn to become an Alpha male. That will put you in a position of radiating Alpha energy. Then, be detached from the outcome and be distant around people. You need to appear as a mysterious guy. You also have to show that you're calm and centered in your masculinity. Don't try to impress anyone, for your attitude will arouse a sense of curiosity in the women around. Don't chase women at all, as the act of chasing is a feminine feature. You are there to penetrate the world with your competency, and to do your job ethically. 1. Stand up with your shoulders back; that will radiate Alpha energy. 2. Don't chase women; they will chase you, assuming that you know how to act around them. 3. Make yourself desirable through your presence. 4. Make eye contact with women and let them break it first; that will make them feel something, as the other guys are clueless and boring to them.

Hello. I'm meditating daily for hours, even when I'm working. I strive to remain as conscious as possible. I have a lot of experience with the present moment and I can access concentration in less than ten seconds. Not to brag but I'm in the "Alpha Brain Waves" state the whole day; I have my EEG that can measure my brain activity. With that being said, a wave of nihilism bubbles up; I feel like everything is meaningless, beyond concept and theory. Although most of the time I feel great, at some point, I'll feel that consciousness is pointless. It is a spiritual depression, not a chemical imbalance. I have my life together and I truly love and enjoy my hobbies. Do I need to convince myself that life is a gift and that reality is truly beautiful? I see that but it's not enough. My spiritual depression is persistent.

Sure. Any link would be much appreciated.

Could you send me a YouTube video about this topic? Thanks.

I was thinking about picking up on other people's moods if that's even possible. Wow... I don't know what to say. I'm speechless at this point.
