Yes, I am insanely privileged. Privileged to be raised by non-abusive parents. Privileged with no mental disorders. Privileged to live in America. Privileged to go to great schools. Privileged to live in peaceful neighborhoods. Privileged to not be raised in poverty. Privileged to be a white man. Privileged to not have been indoctrinated into any religion or any ideology. Privileged to not have trauma.

The more I study the 3rd world, the more aware I become of my privilege.

However, many people have that and never find Truth, never figure out Reality. 98% of people who become successful never convert that success into spiritual success. They get lost in the success. I could have kept chasing success, making tens of millions of dollars by now, sleeping with dozens of women, traveling the world on luxury vacations and posting the pictures on Instagram. Why didn't I? Because I saw that that cannot produce happiness. That is a dead end. That doesn't solve the existential problem of life.

If we gave everyone in the world $5 million dollars and a safe place to live, they would be no closer to finding their way out of Maya. They would continue down a path of corruption and materialism, as lost as they are now in privation.

Your attitude matters most of all. What you do with your time, energy, and money matters. Your values matter. Your understanding matters. Your epistemology matters. People continue to have the wrong priorities no matter how successful they get. Their understanding of reality is still backwards. Their ignorance is endless and insatiable. They are completely lost in mind — which no amount of wealth can fix. Their minds are corrupted beyond any amount of money to fix.

I strategically used my early privilege to earn enough money to buy my way out of the human rat race so that I can focus full time on Truth/God/understanding/Love/Consciousness. There was nothing accidental about this. It was a deliberate multi-decade plan, requiring self-discipline and emotional labor. Instead of doing fun luxury vacations I was doing painfully boring meditation retreats. Why doesn't everyone who has the money do that? Because they don't have the understanding and the priorities.

Anyone with over several million dollars should be doing hardcore meditation retreats, not shopping for luxury cars and watches. Anything else is stupid. No amount of money is going to fix your mind. You can't buy a pure mind. Once your basic survival is handled, most of your labor should be going into purifying your mind. Materialism is worthless beyond your basic needs. The most important thing you can do for your happiness and development is say No to luxury. Live spartan and focus that free energy on inner work.

Fancy cars, fancy houses, fancy clothes, fancy jewelry, fancy vacations, fancy hobbies, fancy women — these are all the wrong priorities and will not produce happiness. Muster the intelligence to surrender all of that for higher consciousness. This will be one of the best decisions of your life.

True intelligence is trading material success for spiritual success. When you look at people who pursue luxury, notice how stupid they look.

So yes, I am privileged, but it's also what I did with it. I can forgive impoverished people being lost. What I can't forgive is rich people being lost. The whole point of wealth is to escape unconscious survival. I want you to work hard enough, long enough, to buy your way out of unconscious survival. That's the point of hard work.

This is a 25 year old documentary but I think this is equally relevant today.

This is why I hate marketers. Notice how conformity is exploited and monetized, turned into a survival strategy. Teens are milked like herds of cattle. And it's all done with a smile on the face, as if nothing is wrong. Unconscious people are happy to be milked. That's the sickness of it. The exploitation is so insidious. Humanity has normalized the exploitation, prostitution, and brainwashing of its children.

The conformity in India is just insane. Conformist zombies.

Of course there's so much rape in India, they aren't allowed to date. They treat marriage as a sick cultural-business transaction. The reason this is wrong is because two people with conflicting values cannot be happy together. It's not even about love, it's about values alignment. But hey, the family's survival trumps that in India.

See, in under-developed countries, individualism does not exist. Individualism only exists in Western democracies. Everywhere else survival is too difficult to do alone, so tribalism reigns. Tribe and family comes before individual happiness. To go against the tribe is a death sentence. But how can truth-seeking be done under such conditions? It can't. That's why people in these culture are so spiritually deluded. Truth-seeking requires deconstructing all the culture survival bullshit.

Pharmaceuticals are so shamelessly corrupt.

(Start watching from time-stamp 15:35)

Corporations are bribing the American government to scam billions from unaware citizens. That's what politics is really about, not culture war nonsense. While everyone is arguing over culture wars, corporations are scamming us blind.

Government is supposed to protect the sheep from the wolves. But the wolves now run the government. That's what Trump is really about and the sheep don't see it.

Note: No, this does not prove anti-vaxxers right. Both things are true: 1) Pharma is corrupt, and 2) Anti-vaxxers are stupid.

Warning: disturbing content below. Don't watch unless you feel mentally strong.

I post quite a lot of dark stuff these days because I study and teach about corruption. If you are not in a mentally strong place, skip such posts for now. You can always come back to it later. I don't want these posts to blackpill you about life. I hope you are not using this content I share to demotivate yourself or to fall into a victim mentality. If that is starting to happen to you, stop consuming negative content and focus on positive content. I focus a lot on negative content these days because I want to know the true nature of mankind. To me this is all just truth-seeking and I don't care what the truth is.
