Yes definitely, when the DNC unfairly and unethically shut down Bernie Sanders they screwed the country over. They deserve everything they are getting now. Bernie is one the most skilled politicians and communicators of our times. Too bad his own party chose corporate, centrist, big money, statues quo candidates instead.

Perhaps you can @JosephKnechtyou are our only hope

Great point and definitely a part of the many facets of awakening! It fair to say that an awakened person is aware of their emotions and isn't run by them. There's infinitely more to awakening also.

Leo likes the Conversations with God books. they are free on YouTube and are amazing. Here's what it says about women:

Some good points but I'd be weary of using grok as its explicitly inflluenced by Elon Musk's philosophy.

You can do what you want but MIT's study says you'd get there faster if you didn't.

Yes we change all the time. Getting people to smoke less in the past couple decades is a good example. Same could be done with tailgating

Yes so we could train them to not tail gate

Where would the wizard get the instructions to do this? He would presumably have to injest some sort of media (books, tutorials, YouTube if available). Learning about the world isn't a waste of time. Watching make- up tutorials is still learning: you are learning how females operate. Watch yourself through out your day. I bet you do and think alot of things that are highly questionable.

Here's a quote from the video "WTF is the left even doing" from the channel Elon Musk likes. Sounds like something Leo should say. What am I missing?

And how would you make everyone competent behind the wheel?

Leaving space is a characteristic of good driving

Just always be nice, outgoing and give off friendly vibes. Say hi, smile, wave to EVERYONE you pass throughout your day. Start small talk (if appropriate) with everyone who you are forced to stand beside or a few minutes (like in a line, elevator, bus stop etc). Eventually you start noticing the different body language of those who are sexually attracted to you and eventually it will be someone you also find attractive. Then just ask if they have any plans on the weekend and if they say no, offer to do something. It's that easy. Everyone is lonely and everyone loves nice people talking to them for a bit. That's why we are on this forum for example, we are all bored and looking for interaction. Give that interaction to people that they crave.

Exactly, we have "don't drink and drive" awareness everywhere. We could do the same with tailgating.

If I was forced to run as a conservative I'd embrace values of mental toughness, hard work, fiscal responsibility, community, healthy food, strong families. I'd spin every policy to make it sound traditional, family oriented, and religious. For example, provide maternity and paternity leave on the value of "strong famililes". I'd reduce pollution so our farmers can make healthy food for our kids. I'd tackle corporate greed using traditional religious values. I'd help the poor "as Jesus would have". I'd tax the rich using quotes from the Bible. Etc. Trump flipped the script and campaigned on a lot of ideas the left is to. Anything is possible, including conscious conservativism.

This topic was really healing. Everyones answers helped me alot. Thanks for starting it @Revolutionary Think

This forum is awesome. Leo created a community where regular people can openly discuss important issues that make our lives better. Where else can you get this? It's like when Socrates gathered the youth in the town squares and discussed life with them. This forum is a small refuge from the depravity, misinformation, conspiracy theories, cheap entertainment, and celebrity gossip found elsewhere.

You're still bringing up small pockets of the internet that does talk about politics in a somewhat constructive way. The majority of people don't and distract themselves with surface level culture wars. They go by gut feel and they get there info from Facebook. The left obviously did something wrong to lose do badly and the opinion of serious political left thinkers (like the resources you mentioned above and others like Ezra Klein, and others) is that the left lost the narrative.

I think he ment that if you are unhappy then going meta is the best way to get happier. Perhaps lowering your consciousness would also make you happier in the short term but that would be counterproductive to Actualizing. Like sure being in a coma would make your problems go away but it's a less ideal method than consciously making your life better. Leo talks alot about levels of consciousness. If you think of consciousness like a scale with God at one end and an amoeba on the other which would you like to work towards being?

This forum isnt the mainstream left. This forum does conscious politics and does discuss important issues. The unconscious mainstream is lost in culture war while ignoring the major issues. Bernie was an example of a good populist leader who would have won.

I know them now but I wish I knew them in my twenties
