  1. But politics is inherently oppositional, so we need to make sure we're not imposing a pipe dream on a system that doesn't work that way like politics. It's trying to bury conflict in favor of order. Good luck.
  2. The Feminine tends to look side to side whereas the Masculine tends to look front to back. This is just an insight.
  3. He gives a lot of advice which is about leveraging power, so I'm interested to see if he can transcend that to a degree. I'm not a huge fan of Robert Greene.
  4. Is Omniscience a goal or a state? Both of these it seems cannot be true at the same time.
  5. Okay. I take you at your word. I'm just pointing out if we want to find a defect out in the world we will, and that will only distract us from focusing on ourselves. And that's what we might want -- which is unhealthy long term as well, because we get to laugh and scoff at something as a distraction to doing our own work.
  6. Yeah but there's no need to virtue signal by constantly finding someone to be the immoral scapegoat while also denying that morality exists too. I know this one is a bitter pill. This is a stupid and painful little game. We should be focused on what we're doing or not doing, but that's harder because it requires wisdom and maturity.
  7. Ok. That's the issue. I haven't been following the news. What did he do?
  8. I can understand why you might feel this way.
  9. Ok well you first then.
  10. But you need to get to know someone in person. This is the problem with all this online stuff.
  11. I feel really bad when I see demonizing people because it's been done to me. And not fairly. I've had this kind of treatment happen to me.
  12. How is he an act any different than anyone else? I feel like there's a need sometimes to put down another to elevate anyone's own imperfect ego from criticism.
  13. This is imputing a lot of motive on a class of people instead of actual individuals.
  14. We are all humans. We forget this.
  15. I sense a lot of trauma being projected outward. I don't see a need to demonize anyone like this. Especially not him. It's a slippery slope obviously.
  16. Most people don't or won't get this for some reason. I agree. Well said.
  17. It's funny how what I said is very clear to me, but when I attempt to explain it to another person in words -- with a great question such as this -- it becomes suddenly very difficult.
  18. Focus more on relationship than on belief when you interface with people. You have to relax your judgment muscle to a degree.
  19. I feel like the Feminine in general is more focused on relationship, and the Masculine is more focused on the individual; and this creates a natural conflict in reality that we face every day.
  20. Why is it nothing? I'm not understanding.
