Dear incredible people of the actualized.org forum! it's another amazing day to be alive. check out this interview if you are interested in the brief history of mysticism.

What a great thought provoking question! That's something I'll have to contemplate for a while. For now I'd say that it might be a mixture of both; intentionally keeping others trapped is a form of low and unconscious behavior. Perhaps if they were "fully aware" of their actions they wouldn't do it.

Well said. This helped me the most too

And Ezra Klein is a highly skilled interviewer.

And I agree with you that society's priorities are off and we are doing a disservice to ourselves and our young people by not teaching them high consciousness lifestyles and instead focus on shallow material persuits in many cases.

Here's an interesting conversation....

Feminism is right that men and women are equal, which also means women can be just as foolish as men. A clear example of this is how some feminists exhibit the exact same toxic, hateful behavior as incels.

There's a great book called the "Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins. As the title suggests let people do what they want. If that means they get sexually assaulted well then...let them. For women looking good is a survival strategy, no risk no reward. They are competing with other females for high quality males. If some want to get a head start then let them. There's a cost to everything and looking attractive is no exception. Women risk getting sexually assaulted but they stand to gain a higher quality sexual partner than if they looked homely. Or so they think.

Because they are infidels and don't follow Sharia law?

My pleasure, Harari is very knowledgeable and full of unique and original insights that makes his interviews and books some of the best out there on history and geopolitics.

Social media. Watching tiktok dancers for hours must have an effect of some kind

Because you are God realized and want to impregnate a 13 year old. (Mary, Jesus's mom, was about 13 when God impregnated her for those who don't get the joke)

Anyone else sick of these unprecedented times? Good reminder to hate the game, not the player. I guess "the land of the free" was a nice experiment that was good while it lasted (the founders had slaves after all so was it ever really free?) and has resulted in whatever is happening now. I guess afterall freedom means someone like Trump can be elected. One reason given to why Trump was elected is because while the billionaires have distracted and polarized us with our phones, our ruling class is able to get away with evermore sloppy and nefarious governance. As Leo's example of educating and thinking for oneself becomes even more of scarce practice it becomes all the more important and valuable. Unfortunately the right people will never hear this message only this tiny pocket of the internet.

Seneca said that the comics often speak the most truth. This bit on relationships by Gaffigan is pretty good, especially the part were he jokes how little men have to do with the birth process. If men had the risk of pregnancy they too would be much more picky and less eager to have sex.

Exactly, even if that vision turns out to be wrong in some way (not saying it is) Johnson is a great example of how to be a visionary in the modern era.

You sound more like a witch or a demon or a psychopath. I speak to you like a would to a serial killer - with well deserved contempt and disdain.

It's like I'm talking to a brainwashed zombie. So cringe. Just because I support feminism doesn't mean I support your incoherent angry dribble.

Don't expect a coherent answer. Brainwashed militant feminists are just angry bitter people who draw you into circular arguments.

Your logic is not sound but your irrational brain will never see it. And congratulations you are brainwashed by feminism.

Excellent point, another example of how feminism is completely skewed in its logic is that statistically the world is far more dangerous for men than it is for women in almost every cause of death. (With the sole Exception of domestic violence). Everyone knows women should be protected, men are disposable. And when women get attacked it's especially appalling for society even though it happens less often then for men! The only thing feminism has achieved is lower birth rates and higher anxiety levels due to less stable family structures.

You guys are shadow boxing. Patriarchy is already dead. In a few years women will make up the majority of leaders and professionals since they already do in higher education. Not sure how they got there if they were so suppressed but all you "feminists" will be able to unbunch your panties very soon. I doubt you will but here's hoping.

This chapter of the interview is great. Galloway makes a strong case that being kind is the biggest turn on. He also talks about the difference between nice and kind.
