This is how religion really works. Batshit stuff. This is what I mean by unconscious survival.

This is how humans lived for most of human history. This is real human nature in a nutshell.

This is very good. I love this level of intelligence in politics.

Our usual political discourse is just so mind-numbingly stupid that I cannot listen to it any longer.

However, again, I must warn, nothing he's talking about will ever come to pass. It's all way too advanced to be actualized in our lifetime. He is lecturing into a void.

Joseph correctly points out that socialism/Marxism doesn't fix the problems of capitalism unless it gets rid of markets. Today's socialists and Marxists do not understand this. They think they can fix the evil of capitalism while keeping markets. What Joseph is proposing is more radical than what most socialists and Marxists today want. But at least he understands why it is necessary. He is not kidding himself that you can keep markets and have your socialist utopia. He is proposing a serious socialism. However, that's exactly why it will never pass. Eliminating markets is an insanely radical feat of social engineering which will fail. There is an arrogance in thinking you are intelligent enough to out-engineer markets. Joseph is very intelligent, but he's not that intelligent.

This video captures people getting mindfucked by seeing the first female pilot.

This shows you how arbitrary "normal" is. Your mind does not have any absolute measure of what is "normal" because normal is entirely relative. If you were born into a society where trained gorillas flew planes, you wouldn't think there's anything strange about it. You'd take it entirely for granted, as you do with everything else.

This also demonstrates why liberalism is more developed than conservatism. The liberal mind is more developed because it is more open to new possibilities. The conservative mind is too closed to see the possibility that women could be good pilots whereas the liberal mind can see it. But what's the truth? The truth turns out to be that women can be good pilots. So the liberal position is truer than the conservative one.

When a liberal hears about a woman flying a plane, his reaction is, "Oh, how cool!"

When a conservative hears about a woman flying a plane, his reaction is, "OMG. Civilization is doomed. Nope. Nope. Nope."

Note: I am not saying male pilots don't have certain advantages, but those advantages aren't necessarily important enough to matter in commercial aviation. A liberal mind can see that whereas a conservative mind cannot.

This is a good debate about the non-existence of evil.

I am impressed by DeMartini's understanding of relativity. I've never seen a public figure with this deep a grasp of relativity besides myself. You can see Aubrey struggling to keep up. However, Aubrey also makes a valid point that it is possible to distinguish more and less corrupt people. Not everyone is equally corrupt. Corruption is a function of level of consciousness. Consciousness comes in infinite degrees. The higher the degree, the more "moral" the person behaves and vice versa. Morality is just consciousness.

What Aubrey wants to call evil, is sadism. Sadism is real. There are plenty of sadistic people in the world. Sadism is a function of low consciousness. But it is technically not evil or wrong. It just is what it is regardless of how you feel about it. Sadism is an aspect of God.

Here's the core problem in Aubrey's position: If you want to say sadism is evil, then you have to say that God is evil because God includes sadism. And as soon as you say God is evil, you've failed to comprehend God. God invented child abuse. So how is Aubrey going to square that in his mind? It's going to create a division in his mind, which means he cannot realize Unity. Any division whatsoever in your mind will prevent you from realizing God. Aubrey is still reasoning in terms of survival. But survival does not apply to God. Truth cannot care about your feelings. That's why Truth is so difficult for finite selves to grasp. Aubrey won't really understand Unity until he dies. Truth is so radical that it cannot be accepted without death of everything finite. Death IS the acceptance of Truth. Until you're dead you haven't accepted it yet.

Note: Do not physically harm yourself.
