  1. How to Find a Hot Witch Girlfriend - finally it's cuming out after all those long years. Though, I silently hope the video won't be dating-related.
  2. @ColeMC01 Meditating daily, not missing any days? 40 minutes at least?
  3. @ColeMC01 Some people might bash me for this advice but simply start something, it doesn't have to be related to dating directly, it can be a habit like meditation, gym, or yoga. Do it daily for 2-3 months, it will improve your general mood, mindset, and will-power. Taking massive action in dating or business should look then much more attainable.
  4. @charlie cho Have you ever done personality test? Are you ENTP? You sound a lot like ENTP.
  5. @fridjonk Here's a stupid PragerU video by a former Obama administration member. I doubt Obama "Yellowness" when he has been picking such dumb-dumbs for important roles. He has been too much pro-corporate for my taste to call him Yellow.
  6. Any meritoric contrarguments against his ideas from the first video? I have thought it's good, curious what you are actually diaagreeing with him as it is not obvious.
  7. A lot of people is looking for an inspiration for their life purpose or career choice, so I have thought we can give them a helping hand. Let's try focusing for 5 minutes and give our best shot at coming up with viable conscious business ideas. I will start: Conscious management consultant/scholar Publishing house - focusing on ecology, spirituality, psychedelics and developmental theories. Recycling facility Eco-farm or permaculture Collecting used oil Tree planting Selling water treatment technologies Holistic health clinic Psychedelics retreat center Organizing Dyads groups Kriya Yoga studio I am eager to hear your ideas.
  8. @Sam Barker You won't feel fit and healthy from doing Kriya Yoga, hah. I do both Kriya and Iyengar Hatha Yoga and I can tell you, Kriya is a good addon to a meditation practice, but not a replacement for exercise. The arguments against "western physical yoga" are exaggerated. It's still the same classic postions, they work regardless whether you do them for the right reason of getting Enlightened or for the reason of getting a nice looking round ass.
  9. Yellow economics is something more. It's do what will work, but also doing it for the right values, creating a self-sustaining or even regenerative system. Looking long-term. Doing what works is not enough, because exploitation often works very well in the short-term. A stage Yellow economist:
  10. The video is of surprisingly good quality. You are very easy to listen to and catch attention with your voice.
  11. What you describe is rare. Results of your average meditator are not like that.
  12. If you ain't at least above average ambitious you won't finish the course, won't even take it.
  13. I am my own yoga studio I just can't accept it. It smells too much of neo-advaita to me, like "oh, meditation has nothing to do with Enlightenment, just realize you are already Enlightened now", said by a guru with 20 years of formal meditation experience, for example. Do I say that doing yoga is a requirement to be happy? No, but it does help for sure, I am speaking from my observations. I am doing it for months and suddenly find myself smiling to the mirror in the mornings, being satisfied with work, blissing out while sitting comfortably in a chair, way more often than ever. Am I supposed to assume it just happens by itself in the moment, or actually use the mind I have got to create an abstract connection that it's thanks to yoga? Yoga is a tool that enables you by doing to have more being in your life. Like psychedelics, which are tools that enable you to experience samadhi. I am not a fan of the direct path and I don't see error in my thinking.
  14. If happiness really is unconditional, then I think I won't. I totally can imagine a scenario where I am doing lots of yoga and I am being happy, then suddenly I can't do it anymore and discover that I don't need it to be fulfilled and never have needed. That this happinness just stays with me.
  15. It's easier to just sit there and be happy after doing an hour of yoga poses, haha. So it's not so that you can't to do anything to be happy, there are ways to prime yourself for appreciating being.
  16. You go, girl! Keep that yoga practice, it's one of the best things you can do for your overall well-being. I am so happy after starting to practice daily. To do so I have set up a scheme with my spiritually inclined friend that every day he will do 1-hour meditation and I will do 20 minutes of Kriya Yoga and 40 minutes of Iyengar Yoga at least. It works wonders, we send each other messages on Messenger after completing the routine, and if any one of us fails to complete the quest we send $5 for charity for every day missed. You might consider embarking on a similar challenge with your friends. Don't beat yourself too much, be honest, stay strong. Why honest? Because the things we beat ourselves over are often subtle lies, I know it all too well, haha. Cheers.
  17. I recommend for starters to go to a studio and learn from a teacher directly for a few months. Not online videos. That's what I did, and I think it was a good decision because at the studio you can talk to others, check what gear they have, hear reviews. Also, the teacher can correct your newbie errors, they won't do it after your first class unless your errors are critical, haha, but after some time will tell you how to improve. You can ask them how to do some position as a male, as the popular female YT yoga teachers don't mention advice for men often.
  18. That's not how it works. I am no financial guru, but 1% has the majority of bitcoins not because of trading for so long and effectively, but from the fact that they had tens of millions of dollars or more to invest in it. They had it almost from the beginning. How? You only have old data, you could guess that it's impossible to rise as high as it had previously, but how will you determine how low in terms of percent growth it can stop?
  19. I am not interested in investing at all, but I think it's foolish to look at growth through the lens of percentage. The big players who manipulate and push the price up don't have infinte amounts of money, so obviously the higher the base price, the less their sheningans will affect it in terms of percent growth. I would rather look for who the big players are and how much money they have put to manipulate the market back then and nowadays.
  20. @DocWatts @Elevated Guys, I have almost missed a book you are talking about, because there were no pictures in any of your post, but the books seem very interesting, so I will post a cover there to catch attention of people browsing this thread in the future, haha. Buy it here: https://www.amazon.com/Listening-Society-Metamodern-Politics-Guides/dp/8799973901
  21. Actually, it was a very real possibility 50 years ago. Republican president, Nixon, almost had implemented it, but his Ayn Rand-loving, liberal adviser had talked him out of it. So they added conditions, that it's only for working families, etc, to make it appealing to conservatives, yet the Democrats then blocked it, saying the bill doesn't go far enough. The whole propsal had lost momentum over time and was to be forgotten. This moment marked a pivotal point at which the policy direction changed towards neoliberal, pro-capitalist one we know today.
  22. We are people first, gender second. To understand women you first have to understand people in general.
  23. Organizations like Buurtzorg (Dutch home-care organization, working in self-managed teams) or companies like Haier (Chinese giant home appliance manufacturer, also organizing its workers in self-managed teams) work. I think it's the most possible vector of change, coming from grass-roots organizations and entrepreneurs themselves. The government has just to curb the "too big to fail" players who abuse and lobby the system. The government should also only take control of parts of crucial infrastructure like healthcare, information, food, housing, education, transport. A lot of challenges coming in the next 30 years for sure with all that space mining, global warming, AI and shit. Do I believe we will have in that time an AI that could become our machine overlord? Nope. Do I believe we will have an AI that wipes out need for 90% of truck drivers, graphic designers, coders, etc.? 100% yes.
  24. The thing is: neoliberal policies and ideas currently at work in our current economic system are also castles in the sky, they belong to fantasy land. They simply don't work as advertised, none of the big heads implementing them have predicted the 2008 crisis. Here's Alan Greenspan who has been guiding US monetary policy for 18 years, deregulating banking industry: And considering that looking at the statistics the relative situation for an average worker in the US has been getting worse, I would be suspicious of the "it was working exceptionally well for 40 years or so" claim. But to be fair, Neoliberals has gotten a few things right, so it's not like this ideology is all bad. They have predicted effects like recession-inflation, but on the other hand they stripped Americans of a chance to get Universal Basic Income implemented by Nixon. So sad guys, you were so close to becoming more communist than communists, haha. Instead you have got privatized healthcare and unregulated banking sector.
