  1. Post-hoc mental gymnastics aside, you'll still get mad the moment you find out that somebody sexually assaulted your girlfriend, unless you're some kind of alien robot. How you process that anger is of course up to the individual.
  2. Can you give me an example of any human traffickers at all?
  3. @PenguinPablo No need to be disrespectful.
  4. What is a "human trafficking type"? Any examples?
  5. I've dipped my toes into cessation many times, and it scares me to death I haven't had a God realization though.
  6. Oh yes. LSD makes you see :>
  7. No two people are alike, but two people who live in an isolated pre-agricultural tribe will be very much alike each other, and the type of disagreements you're thinking about would probably not occur. So the defining causal moment that lead to the phenomena in question could certainly be the invention of agriculture, as ridiculous as that sounds.
  8. One tribe, one opinion. Many tribes, many opinions. It's a very materialistic analysis, but the way we got there was essentially through the discovery of agriculture, which allowed for a more complex division of labor. Resources accumulated, tribes grew and clashed, civilizations formed, and the different labor forces developed their own little worldviews and opinions on things. The skilled workers got their opinions, the academics got their opinions, the politicians got theirs, etc.
  9. The keyboard solos in this one are TRANSCENDENT
  10. Definition of rape: "something ugly people do" ??? The nuanced and sophisticated redpill worldview: everything in the world can be explained by sexual market value.
  11. I talked about this many months ago, but I think it goes back to his fixation on science, specifically the stage models from developmental psychology, which all contain linear or "progressive" assumptions (Piaget, Kohlberg, Loevinger, Erikson, Fowler, etc.). There are so many of them that you'll undoubtedly be very tempted to make it center stage of an integrative framework.
  12. Another day, another non-duality lesson ? Let's not derail the original topic.
  13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_stage_theory
  14. You don't ask it to write your thesis. You ask it for sources.
  15. THIS! That's what I did when I had a really really really unexpected ego death on weed, and also one time when I felt a bit anxious on LSD. The rush of endogenous opioids gives you a moment of "everything is going to be ok", and it can definitely bring down any type of anxiety or paranoia. You can also notice that it clears out your visual field for visuals for a while (at least on a low dose).
  16. Science doesn't settle metaphysics. You should try a different kind of inquiry. The body is a perception. Perceptions come and go. The only "thing" that is not impermanent is the thing that the perceptions are occuring within. This thing is not a body, it's not a human, it's not alive, it's not dead, but it's the essence of You.
  17. Yeah. That's what those emotions are for. What would be un-spiritual would be to aim for a way of life that leads to nothing but those types of emotions.
  18. Nothing un-spiritual about feeling emotions.
  19. One of my most favorite songs including Guthrie Govan. I remember listening to this on a remote bench somewhere in the mountains while on a stoner camping trip with my friends at 17 years old. One of the best moments of my life.
