Well, the thing that these racists have going on, is that it is true that the Indo-European expansion started around Eastern Europe. And the ancient proto-Indo Europeans (PIE) are more closely related to Europeans than modern-day Iranians, or South Asians. This used to be taboo to say was true, especially since academia being left-leaning has a bias against this as it might play into the whole Aryan Neo-Nazi stuff. But the thing is, genetic testing of ancient populations made this impossible to deny. And in hindsight, it was a failure of the academic community to deny the archeological record. The archeological record itself was irrefutable. However, despite it being true that Eastern European Hunter Gatherers around the Pontic-Caspian steppe were the progenitors of a group (PIE) that would expand into the rest of Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Iran, South-Central and South Asia, it's not true that they came to these regions as the same as their forefathers. Right off the bat, prior to the expansion of the proto-Indo Europeans (PIE), they took women from the Caucasus where at that point in time, these people that inhabited the Caucasus were West Asians genetically. So the proto-Indo Europeans (PIE) had a dilution of European ancestry during their ethno-genesis. As they kept expanding into non-European territories, they kept taking women and mixing with the local population, so European ancestry kept getting diluted. This is seen through the dominance of their Y-DNA distribution in these regions today. By the time they came into South Asia (through the route of Central Asia), it's highly unlikely they were anything resembling a European. And while Hinduism might have similarities with other Indo-European religions, it's still obvious that many of its deep philosophical thoughts was developed independently in India. But this is what fuels this stuff. It's some half-truth that gets extrapolated in a delusional way. However, I have no idea what other things are fueling the beliefs about the Incas and Aztecs, there is usually something more to their theories than these guys mentioned a white person built this.

Reading your blog post #148, what distinguishes awareness from consciousness? Why don’t you view these two words as being synonymous with one another? Aren’t both words referring to the state of existing? And please don’t tell me to contemplate, I’m literally retarded.

Well maybe there is something motivating people’s differing interpretations on things. So take into account people’s motivation or lack of one. Those who are motivated to throw all religion to the dustbin of history will have their own perspective shaped by this. Those that see the value in the evolution of Christianity, might not see the big deal in their own perspective. There may be other motivating factors too.

That’s actually adorable.

It really is the very first time you’re conscious of your consciousness. And when you look back before this experience, it’s odd. It’s like you were just auto-piloting through life. It’s not that you took what was around you completely for granted, you had childhood wonder of things around you prior, but you never realized how surreal it is that you exist and that you’re interacting with the things around you. Upon this realization it’s like you woke up and the auto-piloting ceases. How the hell was I in auto-pilot mode prior, that blows my mind.

Is stepping out of the mist that moment of epiphany when you’re awestruck that you have awareness, that you exist? And in that realization, you become completely immersed and aware of the present. As if you’ve been taking for granted that there are things all around you all this time; an atmosphere, color, light, shapes, sensations, etc. If so, this happened to me as well when I was a kid. And I did wonder what was I prior to this epiphany. Kind of like, how did I go through life without realizing this. If what I described is what Jung was talking about, then that is what happened to me as well. Interesting enough, I remember wondering right after if my mother or brother have awareness too, before contemplating if I’m actually God that created this life for myself and therefore the only one in the world that has awareness.

Jews are happy when Arabs die. They had a massive boner when hundreds of thousands of Syrians were dying, bragging about what “Arabs do to each”. Of course they’re going to masturbate to 400+ killed in a single day and the resuming of the war. They’ve been stroking themselves off ever since Trump came into power and put forth a plan to permanently cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.

Well its about explaining why some are more easily prone to having these experiences naturally versus others. You don't have to inherit whatever makeup that makes this more possible. Maybe sometimes that is the case. Maybe in other times its how the genes were influenced by the environment, affected by certain chemicals or hormones while in the womb or what have you.

Did he look at epigenetics? Nature did a huge study few years back where they were looking for genes responsible for homosexuality but couldn't find them. But the thing is, twins can have differing sexual orientations. So looking for a gene is obviously useless. You'd have to look for epigenetic differences, the difference in how genes express themselves.

I'm aware of this. But wouldn't this just be a revelation rather than a spiritual experience? I assumed this was just an intrusive thought he had.

Do you have any examples off the top of your head?

Was this true for Carl Jung?

Build a Time Machine and ask him.

He probably can't afford to provide for her. The Lebanese economy is in the dumps. She would have to be the breadwinner, so they got to find him a rich woman who can make up for his lack of provisioning while simultaneously being fine with that arrangement.

Leave the poor squirrels alone, they’re just by their lonesome looking for a nut.

The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trump’s stated goal of resettling Gaza’s Palestinians in a “beautiful area.”

Just need to inject it with roids

Hojo you're Canadian too?

The popular choice right now for the upcoming election is Pierre Poilievre of the conservative party. If he is a populist (I don't know much about this guy), he is nowhere near Trump's level. But I guess that's obvious. No one is near Trump's level

From the Islamic point of view, these are all in the same category of being impermissible to eat. There is nothing special about pork. The only reason why westerners make a big deal out of Muslims not eating pork as opposed to a dog, is because they themselves eat pig. Honestly, I think it has to do with preserving the perception of the religious community. In our world, based on mental heuristics, it's easier to mock or laugh at a group of people who eat animals that others find strange like cats, dogs, monkeys, pigs, rats, or whatever. Just look at how West Africans were mocked when Ebola broke out, and people learned they eat bush meat, or how East Asian cultures are mocked for consuming horses, grasshoppers, or cats. If Judaism had remained the only group that permitted eating pigs, they would likely have been mocked for it by the rest of the world. There may have been an awareness of how future perception of swine-consumption could evolve. If they didn't prohibit pork, it could have been a poor judgment call. After all, it wasn't obvious that swine consumption would continue to be widely accepted. Religion strives for superior optics, even if you believe these things are just baked in dogma. A civilization that collectively refrained from eating these animals would likely feel more secure, as this aligns with mental heuristics. If religion's goal is to uphold the moral fabric of its society, it would want its followers to feel secure in their beliefs—secure enough to remain committed to the faith and to defending its moral order. In Islam's case, aligning with the Old Testament prohibition reinforced that sense of security. If it had diverged, it could have created unnecessary tension.

Hmmm. You gave me something to think about. So what drives people to continue to be highly ambitious despite achieving a considerable amount of wealth? Is it status? Curiosity? Meaning? Philanthropy? Problem Solving? Lifestyle? Individual pride? Innate desire to do something that attracts them to its highest level because it's what they love to do? A combination of these things or is there more to it? Some people say 30 million is enough, but when they get to that milestone, despite their lifestyle being extremely frugal, they still say it's not enough and want more. What drives that?

How about skin in the game? People can develop better knowledge, work ethic, and other qualities if they had more skin in their success, like starting a small business. And the same with if they themselves are responsible with their investment choices. It could open the door to the person reading up like crazy, learning finance and accounting stuff, the industry, business, competitors, analytics, and all sorts of important things that increase their chances and ability to create success for themselves. More skin in the game can also influence living arrangements and current employment. If they have a comfortable living arrangement, they don't have as much skin in their lack of higher level of success, so they might be content with doing something that doesn't lead to a lot of wealth. But if they know in a year from now the living arrangement would cease, and current employment won't cut it anymore, they could be more motivated to journey on a different path. One that would be more successful in providing a better life.

Serial monogamy is an alternative. And without being deeply attached to lust, your chances of remaining loyal during the relationship, as well as the duration of the relationship, is better. So there's still something to gain.
