  1. Interesting, yes I'm not sure where the truth lies. Then why is there so much talk about immigrants these days in every developed nation? Thanks Leo for your reply!
  2. I hear you and can totally relate. Yes we live in a debased hedonistic society masquerading as "free and liberated". My opinion is that sex is very much like food. It's pleasurable and a basic human need but when taken to extremes or becomes a focal point in life it becomes unhealthy, dangerous and distructive. Everything in moderation. The best advice I ever heard was "if you want to love someone then find someone and love them" it almost doesn't matter who.
  3. Right, and some people WANT this awareness so that it will CHANGE their life in some way (like having more peace or quieter mind etc).
  4. Thanks for the reply. This common narrative is the one I'm trying to counter. I'm suggesting that politicians are not being honest when they dont say the real reason immigrants are being let in. The real reason is the aging and declining population.
  5. Yes that's an uncomfortable feeling I've also had. It's funny because one has to be careful what they wish for. We go into spirituality to change our lives but then the change is actually scary, not pleasant. Furthermore we can't always get what we want. If everyone on China and India wanted (and got) a car the world would end. Not enough resources or room.
  6. When Ezra Klein recently interviewed Helen Lewis, they discussed reasons the left is losing. An interesting point was brought up about the aesthetic of the political parties. While the left is uncomfortable with the future and the past, MAGA on the other hand is embracing both and ruling in the present. The left projects this demotivating narrative that the past was racist, sexist, and colonial while the future is polluted/warming, controlled by evil AI, and jobless. On the other hand MAGA romanticizes the past and embraces new technology (AI, Crypto, social media). I never heard this critique of the left before and it might actually have some merit. Could be a reason MAGA appeals to about half the voters.
  7. Thanks for the rec looks great , will check it out !
  8. Holy shit the world is a trippy place. And biology is especially mind-blowing. Btw The human body has many of these unknown processes too. For example nobody knows what causes cell differentiation and migration in an embryo; Teeth cells just form and travel to the right spot and nobody understands what drives them.
  9. Ya great insight and advice. I think men aren't approaching women even when it's the right thing to do
  10. What a great sentiment. Yes, unhappiness, grumpiness, misery, are all signs of being in a state of unintelligence because the unhappy person couldn't figure out how to be happy in that scenario. It's is often said smart people are unhappy because they know so much but that's a myth. If they were truly smart they would be happy. Of course deaths and health issues are exceptions to this rule.
  11. This Stephen Spielberg movie coming out soon about aliens might be good
  12. Yes please talk about everyone with the utmost respect. It only looks bad on you to be crass. Girl power is absolutely real but women don't take advantage of it. If women worked as a group they could easily decide all the next elections and completely change the world. It's funny how some people complain there aren't enough female politicians but in my experience men are much more likely to talk about politics in everyday life and social gatherings.
  13. If you can get laid easily then you are obviously good enough looking. But if women aren't begging you to be their boyfriend after sleeping with you then there is something off about your lifestyle, hygiene, attire, personality, and income. The good news is all those things can be improved.
  14. Yes cultism is dangerous. Leo says it himself; he is merely a finger pointing towards the Truth.
  15. Oh interesting. I find the best interviews are with people I don't necessarily agree with. I just enjoy understanding their perspective more. I feel like this interview has many good criticisms/analysis of the left and the right regardless of what this women has done in the past.
  16. Yes, brilliant. I really appreciate this thought provoking reply.
  17. Can you clarify what she was supposed to learn? I'm not sure I follow.
  18. Here's a whole fascinating interview for anyone interested
  19. thanks for your reply. Sounds like you're pretty disappointed in the left.
