  1. What is the real world? You mean compared to other countries? I'm a DSA supporter but on their website they explicitly say they want to get rid of capitalism, the Senate, and private property. Wouldn't you say that is a pretty radical far left stance? https://program.dsausa.org/
  2. Because the human desire to maintain the status quo is more powerful than the desire to improve. This applies to everything: pollution, personal development, electric cars, etc...
  3. I think so too. Abdul forces people to think about the similarities between trans surgery and circumcision. Why is one completely normal while the other is radical? Also this comparison forces the left to reflect on why they are ok with someone saying circumcision is stupid but freak out when someone says sex changes are stupid. I personally think both circumcision and sex changes are an unnecessary medical procedures and people who do them are misguided. Every argument a person can make for a sex change can be made for circumcision (i.e. it makes me happier, it's who I am, it helps me feel belonged to a group.)
  4. Sammy Obeid explains in less than a minute, how a brother the Yukon founded the Trump family fortune and subsequent success of Donald. What actions did your ancestors do that, for better or worse, shaped the person you are and the life you have now?
  5. Lol, it's too complex of a question to put a number on it. I feel like you would have know God 100% to be 100% sure you are God. Good question though.
  6. O'Conner brings up two good points here. 1 we feel emotional about our logical conclusions 2 actions don't have truth value, since propositions are actions, can they have truth value?
  7. The liberals are willing to accept bad behavior in other countries but don't tolerate it at home. They then try to have influence at home with people they have a better chance of changing and perhaps to be an example for the other countries. Perhaps if liberals were consistent, or self aware enough, they would also tolerate undesired behavior at home, in a transcendent, "act without acting" Taoist sort of way.
  8. Just fuck whoever you want. Don't listen to Leo. The best type of love is radical and breaks all the rules. Even the rules Leo suggests. Leo is great if you are lost. If you aren't lost than live your life the way you want and ignore what some random YouTuber says.
  9. Yep, this is a huge blindspot of the left and of post modernism. The left is still more intelligent and evolved though
  10. Welcome to the internet lol
  11. This is pretty good compared to when other movie stars went on a spiritual phase (e.g. Jim Carey, Matthew McConaughey)
  12. making fun of progressives can be just as funny as making fun of conservatives
  13. But this is exactly what im saying. We are free to see the similarities and differneces between things at will.
  14. El-Sayed embarrasses Jessie Waters by comparing transgender surgery to circumcision. Is this a post modern argument? (1 min clip)
  15. Lol saw this recently.... https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18FJZHPXPj/
  16. In almost every social situation I have been in, men will talk for longer and more frequently about politics than the women. I find women often get tired of the conversation sooner and change the topic sooner too. If this is true, do women's lack of interest in politics, when compared to men, result in less women in politics and thus society loses out from the value women could bring? Since women make up half the population. It would make sense that half of our politicians be female. But if fewer women are interested in politics the inevitable result is that fewer women leaders will exist.
  17. That's not what I'm saying. I think trans surgery and circumcision do have some similarities that one can point out and there are also differences. We choose what similarities and differences we pay attention too. Leo's video "sameness vs difference" has a similar message. Every argument or conversation boils down too this principle: people agreeing or disagreeing on how similar or how different two things are. They do this often without realizing that it can't be resolved completely due to the paradoxes that occur when trying to categorize things. Two bananas have as many similarities to each other as they do differences. Circumcision and trans surgery have many similarities and also differences. Israelis and Palestinians have a lot of similarities and also a lot of differences. Less conscious people spend their time arguing these differences.
  18. Start with: Plenty of consistent Excersize (especially cardio and weights 30min to 2hrs per day to start), balanced diet, regular high quality sleep. No stimulates of any kind (coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, white sugar) And take a break from the spirituality and philosophy for a little bit.
  19. I wonder how someone can get so dumb. It must be an act.
  20. Even two bananas have differences. I think we can choose to see the similarities between things or the differences. No two things are exactly alike but there are many similarities between things. Artists/authors/poets make a living by making radical and bold comparisons between things that are seen as seperate by the general (and unimaginative) population. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" Is a famous example.
  21. Great videos on the blog recently
