The democrats just need to wave a gay flag, burp and fart out some progressive terms for the children, and then ultimately appeal to all the rational adults by having mildly left policy. Oh and bribe the media to throw Bernie Sanders under the bus again. -

This is why I can't associate with fellow gay people, my god. Embarrassing. I'm going back in the closet on this forum. -

An evolution of how we handle this particular problem is to understand that our feelings belong to us and that we are responsible for them. That being said, I understand the desire for someone who owns a forum to ban certain types of discussions. Because they themselves have a reputation on the private market to upkeep. You know what ends prejudice in any work environment? Ultra clenched anus professionalism. And mustaches. -

@bejapuskas You wouldn't last a day in my world. I've literally worked in some of the most masculine and hateful environments outside of a mining shaft and the military. -

Shockingly, there are some legitimate perspectives that offend the progressive thinker. This is the primary issue with your approach. I feel you are a bit overly sensitive and take the forum too seriously. You assume hate and prejudice when there is none. You can't label everything you don't like this way. It's fairly clear that you are just another young progressive liberal who can't handle certain opinions. You know, I just came out of the closet in a normal way at work the other day. I've heard one of my coworkers outright use the word fa***** unironically. These are extremely prejudiced people I work with and they are the leaders of the environment. I sure hope they don't think like you do, I could end up with an infraction because my 'gayness' is hostile to their feelings. -
I think God has designed my life such that I bump up against every common form of modern male suffering and ego. I have the ability to make a profound impact somewhere in a good direction. I hope I can do that. The idea of doing more harm than good is extremely upsetting and painful to me. Don't get me wrong though I want to force people to be uncomfortable if it makes them grow. I want you to feel the pain of discomfort. I think I finally realized that while I'm exceptionally intelligent I've overestimated myself in the past. Often the common wisdom is correct. Stupid people can often do or say smart things. Intelligence is often just perception. Like a color of paint on a car that makes it look fancy. I am intensely well meaning in this life, though I may fail to meet my ideal way of being. I think I'm learning the nature of life and how much patience is truly required for meaningful events and change to take place. Everyone who perceives me underestimates me.

I think next year is the year I get a hair transplant. I'm thinking just go all out while I'm young and spend like 12000 on it. Why not? (Think movie actor style where you still have a head of hair and want to make it thicker). It's literally the most superficial use of money possible for a male according to some people. Am I supporting an unethical industry? That's maybe my biggest deterrent. Why do people love arrogance and wealth? Its like it makes people more comfortable. Is it an illusion of control over life and its circumstances? Maybe also a distraction from the pain of the physical limitations of life? Its not like I can't see the obvious ignorance and devilry involved with both things. Yet, it's not that simple. Social conformity is necessary for people to love and accept you. It's the small and sharp ways you take that foundation and push the boundaries from there which creates progress.

Or this could be some kind of gay confabulation.

My life is so absurd its gone off the radar of even being a plausible reality. I think I died via suicide and woke back up into my own life to learn something. All the secrets of the universe come to me with no effort along with hellish punishment. I wonder we're this ultimately ends. Leo Gura is the name of an imaginary character my best friend came up with when we were children. You are not only not real, my friend named you. Why this life?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of the evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

The simple version. I'm very successful, here it is; Get a damn education. Like one that your parents approve of. Not social studies please. Engineers to the front. Save your money a bit. Invest maximum 401K matching at your Job. Be disciplined/take full responsibility for your life. If your male, find something to live for other than jerking it to porn. There you go, I saved you from all the bullshit. If you're in America enjoy being a part of the global elite that everyone is annoyed of. And uh, if you train wreck your life, don't give up. I know a little bit about getting massively off track in life and then making a big come back. Foundational personal finance advice: Loans and credit should only be used as a form of investment for your future. This means loans for education, vehicle to get to work/school, a house, and in case of emergency medical bills.

The Conscious Dollar There is a false equivalence of the dollar bill as if it is some sort of simple brick. As if it's this sort of simple object that has value. We believe in an illusion of value in the actual dollar itself. What the dollar and the monetary system as a whole actually is; A social construct, that we all agree upon as something that translates into economic behavior. Commonly referred to as a public monopoly. You have some ownership over the concept of the dollar in the same way you have some ownership over the United States Government and how it functions. Therefore, you should question whether or not the concept of the dollar is one that you agree with. Money itself has properties that is granted to it by the people and the government that regulates its use. Do not think of the dollar as a simple brick. Think of the dollar as the whole of the monetary system itself. Main points of interest; The U.S. banking system and the stock market. There is no greater industry that is subsidized more by society than the banking system. The banking system uses the social construct of the dollar for purposes of profiting in private industry. Imagine along the lines of a private company profiteering from public road usage. (More detail here later) Concepts of interest; Loans, leverage, and investment banking. Change your understanding of the dollar. Do not think of it as an object to be earned and owned, that is a perspective that lacks an understanding of how the dollar fits into the greater whole. The value of your money is the product of a collective agreement enforced by our government institutions. Money is a meticulous organization of manipulating the societal construct of wealth to accrue more wealth Money is the central banking system which maintains economic equilibrium Money is the wealth distribution through the socioeconomic classes Stop thinking about the image of the dollar. Start thinking about what it represents; Human thinking and behavior itself. If you can fully understand this concept you are way ahead of the curve. How is the public monopoly of the dollar that we all own being used to benefit us equally and not just a specific industry, or class of people? And FUCK NO, bitcoin is NOT the answer guys. Throw that shit in the garbage. This was my opinion at the peak of the bull market, so I have no biases. Centralized Currency, properly regulated, is the best form of currency available.

The Irrational Individual Atrophy of discipline, freedom to make choices, and its corrosive effect on civilization. Our current free market model overvalues freedom and undervalues the need for individuals to have a disciplined mind. Individuals have a superficial freedom of choice because they make decisions based on their addictive tendencies; in nutrition, media, general substance abuse, and even in forming their identity and ideology. Making choices based on addictive tendencies leads to less personal autonomy as these neural pathways are reinforced over time. Freedom of choice in economics and society leads to a society of people that are slaves to their lesser impulses. Less personal autonomy. I believe that there is a compromise between our current model and a more restrictive one. The number one target on my hit list is nutrition. A solution could be pulling on the strings of our food industry in the form of tax breaks and subsidies to alter the available choices and their cost. A re-framing of the idea of a 'sin tax' to thinking of it has a financial sculpting tool for bettering human behavior would be practical. Data driven determinations of unhealthy behavior choices. Disincentivize. Limit. Restrict; think how we handle pseudoephedrine. This one is a difficult to get people to accept. Perhaps I'll make a post on how to impose a social contract for the greater good. Strategies on de-sheepifying the sheep. I have a lot of content in mind arguing against the freedom of the individual in economics. The title 'The Irrational Individual' is a counter to the free market capitalists idea of the 'Rational Consumer.' I can and will annihilate the concept of the 'Rational Consumer.' This idea must be a focal point for all conscious beings practicing conscious politics. Do NOT be politically radical. Rational Choice Theory: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rational-choice-theory.asp Rational choices on the free market incentivizes economic activity, such that good business is rewarded and bad business punished. It's the driving force of innovation and economic progress through competition for the 'irrational consumers' dollar. Similar to the concept of Evolution by Natural Selection where the best genetics are rewarded with survival and reproduction. The more successful systems propagate and self-improve. In this sense our economy is a financial democracy where your voting power is determined by your wealth.

Snake Girl I can't post snake girls news video guys I'm sorry. Its got her family in it and I'm afraid of doxing her without consent. Okay!? Maybe I'll post some of her stupid ass drawings she sent me though. She has a 10 out of 10 booty. She sweats too much. After we stopped dating I accidentally embarrassed her at her job by matching with her boss on Tinder. And I told her boss an embarrassing thing that happened (slightly vindictive). She farted openly on the second date at my place and made a habit of it. She laughed about it with zero shame. It's funny, but I've never had a female do that to me in my life. It was slightly a shock and funny. There you go, there's a stupid story about a stupid girl I dated. Happy? Next I'll tell you about Kara. I have an even funnier story(s) about Kara. Yikes. I'm mean sometimes, but I promise I'm extremely kind. I wish I didn't embarrass this girl. I doubt it was that big of a deal as I knew the context of the relationship she had with her boss. Snake Girl is not completely innocent either. And maybe this silly girl won't fart in front of her future boyfriends. I doubt that will stop her though. I am a fart shamer and I have to live with that.

Misappropriation of Importance Understanding how to best appropriate importance of every aspect of your life. Often I find myself studying history, politics, and economics so much that I let my room get messy, or I leave something important till the last minute causing some emotional stress. My less disciplined side wants to ignore this subtle emotional signal that tells me to pay attention to the laundry or the dishes. Misappropriation of importance is one of the most foundational mistakes of human beings everywhere. Often people become ideological and dogmatic. This causes an emotional attachment to certain ideas, like going to a specific church, or spending hours studying and archaic text book that has zero application to your modern living experience. Think; The Holy Bible. However, be VERY careful not to spit on the culture you come from. Do NOT throw the baby out with the bath water. Have respect for your origins and the belief structures of the society you inhabit. Living life to its highest capacity is often simply being willing to go through the pain of doing something we don't like. This is not to say we should do the dishes as soon as a single dish is dirty. We wash on an efficient schedule that makes logical sense within the grander context of our lives. This problem of human misappropriation pervades everything. Politics, spirituality, daily life, and so on. Ask yourself. Is what I'm doing worth the effort that I put in? Or should I be spending my time more meaningfully, and or productively? Wow, I mashed a lot of ideas together here that could be better explored.
