https://actualized.org/insights/corruption-of-elite-education Love how honest Daniel is recognising his own privilege here. Corruption and wealth inequality seems to scale exponentially with population growth. The more people there are, the more people one can exploit. We are stuck with political and social systems designed for thousands, not billions of people. Like my Civilisation 6 games - the people are culturally retarded and technologically brilliant. Like having giant death robots in the mediaeval age. We have serious cultural and epistemological work to do. Put your computers down, nerds.

Airtable.com I've rebuilt like 3 other softwares I was paying hundreds of dollars a month for with it for $25 bucks a month. Crazy powerful if you do any sort of office work.

God is total completeness.

@r0ckyreed Yep. God is completeness. You could understand the process of how life developed on earth all the way back to infinity if only one had the ability to do so.

In spiritual work, everything you deconstruct you ought to reconstruct. Reconstruct better if you can. Don't linger in the void, its anti-life.

Justice is violence. Justice is often necessary.

Everything I say and believe is yap.

Here's a way of thinking about it: 2+2 can't not equal 4. Distinctions are complete and perfect, unfalsifiable. Imagine you plotted every distinction as a point into a 2d cartesian plane. You can't move a distinction off it's point, because each point is a new unique distinction. The delta (distance) between points is Truth, free of bias or perspective. It can't be changed without defining a new set of distinctions. Each set of distinctions only has one possible configuration. This plane is infinite, with infinite detail. You can zoom in and out forever. It's unbreakable because its not a concept or thing, its a system made up only of consistency, it's non-contradictory.

Hilarious double standard from the guys who think men being polygamous should be normalised in the thread. Selfish. If you plan on ever being a father you should drop this juvenile shit today. Polygamy is for people who don't deserve to be parents. How are you supposed to support a family if you dilute your love and resources? No wonder women get the ick from you when they hear that yap. Selfish. Selfish. Selfish.

Because I have a hard enough time being with one girl let alone 6 lol. Not sure you fully appreciate the cost of having 6 girlfriends would actually be like.

He's just a run of the mill fuckboy. Guys pretend to want to be like him but almost no one would actually be happy living that life. It's only for the comically horny guys who have nothing better to do then fuck all day. Banging 6 girls at once only gives you bragging rights with low class people.

After staring at the sun for 10 minutes each morning, our subject reported a 600% increase in pussy. Science!

From Oxford Dictionary Derived: obtain something from (a specified source) Original: present or existing from the beginning; first or earliest God is original, reality is derived from God.

By noticing that everything in reality is constructed. God both created and is the basic components required for construction. Therefore anything you construct is only made possible because of the system God designed. This system is infinitely complete and free of contradictions. Everything possible is derived out of this system.

I am going to share some personal details in this one, I am hoping someone who has gone through a similar experience can share some wisdom... This Christmas I particularly noticed my aging parents struggling to get through things day-to-day. I live away from home, so my parents do not really have family in their town to look after them if things go wrong. I have often had conflict with them over their drinking / tobacco smoking habits. It pains me to see them poison themselves every day. They are not aging gracefully and consume poison like they are in their 20s. Yet in reality they are in their 60s and struggle through life as if they were in their 80s. My father also struggles from mental health issues which I am sure will result in a manic episode if/when grim health news is dropped on him. It's honestly a miracle both my parents are still alive given their lifestyle. On a certain level, I realize none of this can be helped and it's just nature playing out. However, I don't find it fair that I am going to be in for a world of suffering and responsibility when my parents end up requiring intensive medical care due to their poor choices and health decisions. They could have aged gracefully if they tried. I am likely going to lose years of my life caring for them in their old age, or I will be branded as the selfish child who abandoned their parents. Lose-lose situation. Does anyone know any good resources to better learn how to deal with this? Family issues have honestly been at the bottom of my priority list my whole adulthood, I really do not know how to approach this domain of life at all.

Living and dying is like having your cake and eating it too.

Reality can not be any other way except the way it is. This is the one and only reality. Reality has no contradictions, it is the only functional possible reality.

If you can imagine yourself into reality once, you can do it again.

Who and what you are IS a paradigm. You can't claim to deeply understand anything outside of that paradigm. A human can't know what it's like to be a turtle. A man can't understand what it's like to be a woman. You would have to change what you are to understand, which is not possible for as long as you exist in human form. You can't understand anything beyond the human, because a human can't directly experience the non-human.

Nope, you fail to appreciate that: You have never once experienced the social pressure of being a woman. You have never experienced what it's like to have a woman's genetics, hormones or period. You've never had heterosexual sex from a woman's POV. In a psychedelic trip you are just theorizing what being a woman is like, without real sober experience. Real direct understanding of the feminine is impossible for men. Because you cannot escape the male paradigm you see through. And vice versa for any women who think they understand men.

Don't let white people ever downplay racism. They do it all the time.

I just watched Better Man and it was fantastic. I would recommend it even if you don't know about Robbie Williams, I didn't.

Practice awareness. Impulsivity is the reptile mind acting before the conscious mind. Impulsivity is also not something to demonize, it's a survival tool your mind developed.
