Ok Leo, with this last post one you have explanatory work to do. Yes it make sense, but a video about this would be put on fire a lot of self rigtheous activists I know. People that from their perspective are doing the most truth and compassion alligned work ever

Answering my own question. I think Stage Green Mega Thread is a good place to find examples of what this quote points.

Where you go find this stuff man? You surely have time.

I dropped out of university in pursuit of studying the Universe itself.

A timeless endeavor.

Looks like rats are finally taking the rat race literally! Just remember, no tailgating.

I just read Leo's last two blog posts.

It begs the question then; how do you beat the devil? Is it possible to be dedicated to truth and succeed in business?

I look around the industry I work in and see deception and systems exploitation everywhere. In filmmaking, in order to get anything made (and therefore to be employed) you need to exploit government grants, tax incentives, cheap overseas labor, race to the bottom contracts, and so on. It's kill or be killed, it seems that if you don't participate in this system and out exploit other filmmakers, you have no chance of creating something great.

Is there any examples of businesses or projects that have been successful while sticking to truthful and honest core values? What did they do differently? 

My thought experiment led me to the conclusion; create a new market. You have to refuse to play in the same game as the devil. You have to refuse to engage in the same market, refuse to use the same exploiting tools, refuse to compete with the devil's product. Is that correct? Or am I being overly nihilistic here?

I suppose it's only fair and fun if the devil gets to play too.

@Leo Gura, I'm curious, do you view awakening as superior to development?

[Yimpa]

@Hardkill I would like to hear your thoughts about this blog post about developing good politics 

https://www.actualized.org/insights/developing-good-politics

[Vibes]

@Leo Gura From the blog post: ..."Why do you think about politics at all?"

Because it's interesting and I crave understanding. That should be the intent to be reminded of, not to fall to one side or the other, not to get too involved that it clouds that intent. I get it.

To tie in with Leo's post today:

[Yimpa]

All politicians act from good intentions and are doing good politics according to their stage of development

James Cameron is releasing the new Avatar Movie. Is he using devilery to reach that goal?

About the Quote #087 and Stage Green Follies. Try go get where this activist lost his Pose and Made a exageration on his narrative

https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/can-same-action-be-immoral-and-moral/

Quote from the link:

" I’m aiming at a far bigger and more profound target than the nearly twelve million cubic yards of cement that went into the Grand Coulee Dam. I want in this book to examine the morality and feasibility of intentionally taking down not just dams but all of civilization. I aim to examine this as unflinchingly and honestly as I can, even, or especially, at the risk of examining topics normally considered off-limits to discourse." 

Ok to defend ecology, but the guy propose the end of Civilization

Derrick Jensen is Indeed a good case study to the limits of Green
