You said that lol and one of the characters is a Succubus, so I thought you got that term from the series
I see... i learned that term long time ago in my Wicca days. A show that recently brought it up again is Lost Girl. Took me forever to watch it, it's pretty cool... she's a succubus. Actually, Lost Girl sounds a whole lot like the book... she had to pick bw dark and light too (i won't give any other spoilers in case you're going to watch it). I wonder if they got that idea from the book.
But the Wiki page man... when i said above i'm not willing to discuss this specific angle, the synopsis of the book basically was talking about a version of what i usually hide from these forums... tripped me out man. I was like, did i actually tell them? Weird man.

And letting people be sitting ducks is sane?Producing more guns and making them more easily ccessable to all people is M.A.Destruction or N.U.Ts

I read the wiki synopsis of the book... it was actually on synchronicity level. How'd you know i'd find that interesting?

Being a teen with my own demons it makes sense to me. I was never on the level of truly ending my life or others... but i had that anger. It really has little to do with everything else although everything else does effect it. It's just an internal battle... and a lot of F* this world mentality. That is the route cause. That internal voice that just wants to see the world burn. Some deal with it and defeat it like i did, some turn it on themselves, and some turn it on others. People like this will continue to exist until we figure out why they want the world to burn. At that age i can tell you, it's usually feelings of not belonging, girl problems (or boy problems), depression and anxiety, isolated thoughts, ignorance, fear that you'll always be like this, fear that you're cursed, fear that this reality is a punishment, etc.Consider when one of these nut jobs kills some people, family members whatever and then kills themselves, that just makes no sense at all.
If you look back you can see the trend that has lead us to this point imo, lack of respect and morality has snowballed into what we are experiencing now.
That has to do with it but what teen really has respect or understands morality? Like i said above, if you want to understand why... you have to understand why they get to the point of wanting to inflict chaos. If i take myself as an example, it was what was going on around me. I had popularity but i wanted more, i had girls that liked me, but i didn't see them... it's bc it was an internal battle of feeling this reality is a curse. I imagine this is going up bc of social media. So not only is it what they see around them that they think they don't have, it seeing the world happy and not knowing why they're cursed. I would bet a lot of them have this internal struggle. This is what happens. The people with everything flaunting what they have will always have a consequence on those that have nothing (or think they have nothing). Humans are like wolves, you push them in the corner they will bite. But at least with wolves you know a bite is coming... with humans you don't see it coming.
I really don't know what will fix this other than fixing ourselves and rethinking our priorities.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
Yes, indeed. But i don't think the gang problems will be fixed until we fix ourselves. We need to realize freedom again. The two main contributions to these gangs are sex and drugs. I don't see why prostitution is illegal, i don't see why drugs are illegal. If we want to focus on evil, we can't muddy the waters by putting resources into punishing people that just want to live... have some sex and do some drugs. They're just being human and we are punishing them for that. I personally think we need to rewrite a lot of our laws. Our priorities are very off imho. Just imagine... in such a world where we allow people freedom, people would likely allow full invasion of privacy. Why not? If i'm not going to get punished for just doing things that doesn't hurt anyone... then there could be cameras everywhere. Then we can focus on the people that really have something to hide... murders, rapists, people harming us. I don't know... but i think we're headed that way, but only if we stop calling things evil and wrong that just aren't. I know i digressed, but ultimately, i think if we don't figure that out... gangs will war, kids will kill, insanity will create chaos. Being armed against that is the first step. It also would show the majority are good and we don't need daddy to tell us what's right or wrong. Idk, it's just a dream lol.balance/equality it's a stalemate
That's a great idea. Yeah... i wouldn't want country wide carry without some kind of training and practice for those that want to carry. I'd go as far as making it tough and you can't carry until you pass the course. I think that would greatly minimize a lot of the potential harms.Though I would advocate for no cost training and practice. Tax payers pay for law enforcement training which should also be open to anyone else interested in relation to the topic.
Another school shooting in Colorado
Yeah i noticed. They're lucky on two fronts 1) getting rushed; and 2) this kid probably wasn't the best shot. What really bugs me about these school shootings is how little people understand the mindset of these kids. Blaming it on games, bad parenting, media, etc. They don't understand it's all of that... but most importantly, it's an absolute lack of fear of dying and an outward projection of chaos. That's what got me into trouble when i was young. I went the drug route bc i had an inward projection of chaos... But yet, i have a loving family, i had everything i needed, i didn't think anything of the games i played, or movies... they all played a factor in who i was, but it was society as a whole... life in general that i was battling. So i get where these kids are coming from... so, i know there is no law that will stop them. I'm not trying to say pity them, i just know there are no laws that will stop them. This will continue to happen bc people like them exist, and now they know how to create that chaos without opposition.

I agree humans are stupid... but if they're dumb enough to assault someone with a 357 on his side, then they deserve being wiped off this earth. Maybe everyone carrying is what it will take to clean this earth up. Fact is... you don't know what will happen bc we've never tried it. I say we do and see what happens. Being a gun enthusiast myself... i see how fast even the dumbest human gets humbled when they hear that first gun shot. Maybe we should fear each other in order to humble ourselves and understand our differences.

@TheRealNihilist
Okay?
When it comes to answering beliefs... everyone is pretending to know. I thought all that was pretty straight forward...
But you don't understand he is more important than me.
Now you're just playing dumb or what... i just said he is in general. But you're not understanding that isn't the only metric for importance i use. You're doing what a lot of people do... assuming. Your assuming you've said something where i'd give you higher importance than him... which you have not yet. I actually like Elon, and he is higher in importance. But all that's besides the point if you don't get how i would label you important too if you contribute to my experience.
Reality is reality.
Never said anything to the contrary. I'm well aware of this.
Worth not a fight.
You're just not getting it or your pretending not to. You are not someone i'd want on my zombie killing team right now.
But most thing in the world is finite like our lifespans.
I gave you scenarios and ideas to examine the implications of infinity. What you do with it is up to you.

@TheRealNihilist
Okay. Don't know where to go from there.
I know you don't. You're also an insignificant human... don't let anyone define infinity for you. If i'm wrong, prove me wrong. You can't disprove my existence... and yeah, my imagination is a part of that existence. That's all i know exists... what i'm conscious of. What if everything erased when i died... how beautifully frightening is that... You're talking to a person that would have the biggest smile on his face if the zombie apocalypse happened right now. Like i give two f*s what anyone else believes. Until i'm proven wrong... i'll be human. You'll never know the full me unless i allow it. Everyone pretends to know. If i'm wrong... tell me how. (i should point out... i'm not only talking about myself here.)
Elon is not some random person instead a person
You think i don't know... his name will be legend. That's if... human's can live long enough to realize a person like Elon's vision. It's also people like him... that i believe what i do. Even if i'm wrong and die wrong, i know there are people out there trying to create what i would define as paradise. People like him are trying to create my belief. They are way more important than you or me... "they need to create it." Kid... i know his importance.
There is only one reality.
"The real joke is your stubborn, bone deep conviction that somehow, somewhere, all of this makes sense! That's what cracks me up each time!" --- Joker.
I doubt your family is worth as much as Elon
I'd destroy this bitch if he crossed eyes with what i would call family... are you kidding me..?
When you were saying infinite and finite you completely lost me.
It's bc you're only thinking about the finite... That one's easy. It's infinite that's hard.

I doubt I can use evidence to prove your belief to be wrong because it is what you believe not what you have gathered to make it reasonable.
This is two different levels of consideration. I already know you can't prove me wrong bc i know humanity isn't even close to such proofs. However, you can through reason and logic. I've spent years seeing if it's even logical for this possibility. I find no reason today to think it's not a viable possibility whereas i can use some thought to say Christianity for example falls short. So on both fronts of proof and reason i would say i have no reason not to suspect my belief's possibility.
Clearly missing out what Elon has done for so many other people.
You really couldn't have chosen a more boring guy to me... but this will answer all your Elon crap. You framed you're first question asking me personally who i would find more important, so obviously it's a selfish ego point of view. I give importance to those that affect my life. I never said he isn't overall important, and if we are making the metric 'the more people you help' obviously he is more important. But i don't accept your way of defining importance if that's all you look for. I feel sorry for your friends/family if you think some random person is more important to "you" than they are. That's just disappointing to me.
How can you say you can pick the best reality when you don't even concede that one life is more important than another?
I think i have a better grasp on importance than you do... so i'm pretty sure i understand what a best reality is a little more than you do since i realize the best of all realities would still not make me important to those i don't help.
Iimits are like rules. You are not supposed to break them.
This doesn't make sense. As a drummer, if i thought this way... i would have not had as much fun as i did.
How can you say this when you don't even say that Elon is more important than me?
1) Bc half my family is rich and i hear them and know their mind set even with wealth... and they're all doctors that save lives so i would say they are more important than Elon. and 2) what does importance have anything to do with happiness?
Tell me an instance where anyone has reached every single goal in their life. Life is all about concessions which you use to realise your place in life then you can think about enjoying yourself. You can enjoy yourself by not meeting your goals.
I never indicated anything to the contrary. Unless your saying this applies when you are infinite... to which case, maybe you're right about you. Maybe you didn't have a goal when you came here... but, you'r not right about me. I have a strong grasp on what it would mean if i'm also infinite and finite rules of limitations wouldn't make sense in that state.

You have yet to prove that structure to be true.
You're still not getting it. I don't have anything to prove. Reality is what it is, and my belief of what will happen to me is only for me. The actual metaphysical platform is still unknowable and i would be quite arrogant to say i know what that is. It's like asking a scientist what's before the big bang... who knows. All i can do is examine the platforms and find those i like the most (personally with healthy skepticism and careful consideration). But i would never say i know it's true. The only things i know to be true is who i am, and what i am observing. Both science and spirituality are far behind giving me a platform that would make it true or false. Until they do, i will go with what i know and what i see. Unless i'm proven wrong. I love being proven wrong so i'm waiting.
This can't be your stance.
Yes it's my stance, again you're not getting it... or, i just think you have a sad way of defining who's important. What has Elon done for me? My uncle has one of their cars and he didn't even let me drive it... bc he's a child, so is Elon... they're all insignificant humans. So, who do i say is important? Look at it like this, if our conversation lead to something in me starting up my dream and becoming successful... who's more important? You that gave me that push... or Elon that doesn't effect me at all? It doesn't matter how many people he helps, i would say you are more important for making my life better. Same as you.. if something i say reminds you in the future, you take a risk, and your dreams come true... you would really say a human that does nothing for you is more important than this one human that gave you your dreams? If so, i would say you have a skewed way of giving people importance. But you can do whatever you want, i just don't agree. Now, if you said you or Marlin Manson... i'd go with the dark lord. He's touched my life in more freaky ways than one. I give people importance that make my life better.
2 is more than 1 which is why that is more important.
In my eyes... you're wrong. Give random people importance if you want... they're nothing but humans to me playing their role. It doesn't mean they aren't important... sure they're important. But as i mention above, that's not how i individually give people importance in my life.
I meant finite as in one.
Then fine... only one existence i'd be a rock-star over you... that doesn't prove anything other than you giving me only one choice. Anyone would choose the best reality they can imagine. That's why i favor an infinite platform.
that is wishful thinking not something reasonable I can say.
You're the only one that knows your limits, but don't forget your also the one that can give yourself limits.
Yacht or might be simply not a care in a world due to the responsibility he might have
Some people with everything have nothing. Some people with noting have everything. I've personally seen this to be true.
but they are still Religious and would still be a Christian or Muslim.
It depends which age groups we are talking about... the new Gens up to millennial... possibly into Gen x. I don't believe this to be true. They just don't have a viable alternative, yet. They believe bc they know whatever their belief is true, and to me it is, they've just picked a platform they 'think' will give them what they know. That's why most don't care for the details.
A good God
Exactly why it isn't logical to suspect the platform is one good god.
This is unfair for you to even question that. Many people make concessions in their life because they can't be what they want in life and are forced in the specific situation they are in. Everyone has goals doesn't mean they will achieve them which is why people don't get exactly what they want.
How do you know? You are talking about other people's experience. How do you know their experience? They may not even know why. But, you do? Maybe they didn't want that goal? Maybe that's not what they're here to do? Maybe they're just here to die? Etc. etc. etc. This is why you shouldn't be analyzing other people's path. Helping others is of course good, helping them find their way... that's what you can give. But saying they want this, or they want that... you have no clue what they want or why they're here. If we get deep into the implications of my belief, they may not even be here. I have no clue how others are playing what they are, i have no clue what they are to this world... you and i have no clue other than our own experience.
What if i told you my experience has been such that being brutally murdered would have been a mercy (i could have made this even worse)? Would you want my experience? Bc what i am from it now... i wouldn't change a thing, and i would do it over again to be here with what i know i'm here for. So... do you really think you know other people and their experience? Am i a masochist? No. I'm just aware of what that darkness gave me.
Life is filled with disappoints and I don't really let them go but I do forget about them.
Yeah... i would do the same. Problem with not letting them go however is they'll compound your next disappointment.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
I absolutely agree. Although i have progressive type views, i believe some things just need to be left alone for good reason. It's okay to be progressive in my opinion, bc humans evolve... but, i always say it's a mix bw the two. Be progressive but in a conservative way. Think through what you are doing, and test it. I feel we have done that with gun laws and i don't see any gun law that would stop mass shootings in particular. That is a low percentage of gun deaths however. The real question is what it would do where the most gun death happens. I really don't know in that case. Would it help reduce gang crime, would gang crime stay the same, or will it get worse? Bc ultimately, gangs aren't going to stop being gangs. As long as we have a black market... they're in business. So i don't know up to that level. I think they would be scared to go after the random citizen... but what will it do to the in-fighting? I don't think it would change personally... which is why i believe it would be safer.an armed populace would be extremely hard to control
Then there are the arguments of "people will just shoot each other in bar fights when drunk" "the teachers will shoot kids trying to run away" "they aren't trained enough to handle a situation" "Cops would shoot the wrong person" ... those are most arguments i here against it... but i think they are all wildly fantasy scenarios.

It doesn't mean it is actually true.
I never asserted it is. What i mean when i said that is basically i can back up what i'm talking about. I didn't just willy nilly make it up without any forethought and analysis. What i did however is first figure it out by myself. Once i felt i had it down enough by myself, i started researching beliefs, philosophies, science, etc. It's very interesting doing it this way imho bc you realize people come close to explaining it but never get my exact belief. It's always some form of theirs but with a platform that could be similar.
Even if you don't want to watch Elon you have to understand how much more important he is compared to me.
How are we defining importance? Right now, you are much more important to me than Elon is bc you are helping me evolve my ideas through discussion. I actually give discussion the highest level of importance. Is he important in his innovations? Yes, in that right he's a lot more important than you (or i) since he is giving back to more people. But, if you think fame and money alone makes someone important... i would disagree.
It is like saying 2 is more than 1 but wouldn't someone find enjoyment in 1? Yes they would but 2 is still more than 1.
The fact is, they both exist. You don't always have to be 2 and you don't always have to be 1.
I am not talking about an infinite universe. I am talking about a finite universe. Who would you rather be me or Elon?
In a finite universe i wouldn't even pick this reality. Actually, that is my argument for why i say a duality bw infinite and finite. My type of personality would not be here if i was finite. I'd live as a vampire until i died, or some other fictional character. As to your question, i don't know you enough but i also don't like Elon that much either. I'll take it as be 'regular' or 'famous' ... if i was finite, i would be the character closest to who i am. My genre is fantasy/scify.. that's the type of character i am. So, in this life... money is a super power. Therefore, yes... i'd pick the rich route. "IF" i was finite. But this is really a bad question... bc you're already assuming your story won't get to his level. You assuming your story won't have anything interesting. But you're also missing that in an infinite platform, i'd be regular more times than not. The things i am here for... i cannot be Elon... the other stuff i'm still waiting to find out. I don't know the end of my story.
The majority of people believe in Christianity or Islam.
See... i don't believe that. I believe the majority of people are pretending to be Christians or... well, maybe a little less so with Muslims, but even them.
Guess you must be a bad God because you are not the president.
That is honestly the last thing i would be in this reality. What are boring and self-obsessed role...
have an awful life and can't really play the character they want to play.
See, how do you know this? How do you know they aren't doing exactly what they want? How do you know their life is awful? This is something harder to wrap your mind around bc we can only know our own experience. I don't know why others would do what they do. But, i see humans alive now obsessed with torture, obsessed with violent gang life, obsessed with 'wanting' to be raped, etc. All the evils, there are humans that wish for it. If they exist... then, could it not happen they come back and become it? Well, that's conceivable in the platform. What about good people getting in the cross fire... again, i have no clue why the person would do that. For instance i look within myself... would i ever try an evil life? Sorta yes. Say if i become Joker. There's people i'll kill. Say i become Deadpool... well, evil has to be done to me to become him. I know i'm using fictional characters... but that's just my world. Don't get thrown off by it... understand how their experience wouldn't be what it is without the progression. There's a lot of depth to it.
That is a lie that people tell people.
It's not totally a lie, but i agree with you it's exaggerated. There are also calculated risks. But risking will move you along a lot faster than not taking risks. It's unavoidable. Without risks, you'll stay stagnant.
I am not fearful of the unknown but more so doing something then realising I don't enjoy it. I think that happens a lot and if I keep on doing more new things more likely than not I will get bored of that also
This sentence sounds a lot like something i would have said at your age. I've gone through, 8 career changes, 5 interest changes, etc... Things i use to love, i don't enjoy anymore; things i recently enjoyed, i don't anymore, careers i thought i'd love, i hated; on and on. If you're truly like me... in that you get sick of things you love, man... it'll be a bumpy road. I truly believe you should start dabbling in stuff, bc i wish i did it sooner. Being careful in what i wanted to do is what has been kicking me in the ass... I just get sick of things; i hope that's not how you are bc it sucks.

@TheRealNihilist
I don't think I am important to think I am a star of my own movie.
Hmm, i don't like talking about this belief in typing format bc it's very deep and hard to explain every element without you asking questions. I'm not boasting, but it's been in the works for i don't know more than 20 years of my life, all of my life, this is what i have believed. Before knowing what belief even means.
You can think you're important; or you can think you're insignificant. It doesn't matter bc what you are doing is comparing your experience to Elon. That's his experience. Me personally, i would rather watch a movie like yours than watch someone like him. I hate celebrity, singer, rise up type movies. Think about it like this... if i could cut your life into just 2 hours, could i not make some kind of movie out of your life? What genre do you think it is? Do you honestly believe... even if you find it insignificant, that others find it insignificant? Are you completely insignificant... or do you give significance to some things? To some people? You can flip this logic on me and say what about a baby born for an hour and dies... but, no... that baby created a bunch of scenes. Of a mother crying, of a sister rethinking her life, of a distant brother falling back in love with his family, etc. etc. etc.
What people don't grasp is my belief... you are critiquing the platform before understand the belief part. If i am an infinite being having finite experiences... what does that truly mean? If i live to 100... what is that to the infinite self? Nothing right? How many times can i live as Elon, how many times can i be Superman? How many times can i be the top of the top? In an infinite existence... would i never have the urge to just be something insignificant? I can answer all of these for myself... but my answers don't apply to you.
other far-fetched ideas that the norm does not agree with.
I don't think we know what the norm "truly" believes yet. There are far-fetched ideas that would be beneficial. For instance, "think for yourself and don't let the religious rule you." Far fetched, but you could work with that and at least wake some up to the world around them... while the zealots cringe. Who cares about the fringes... they will eventually go extinct. I don't mean that in a bad way, but everything has it's time. A movie can't progress without a progression. It's actually zealots that can't change even when faced with hard facts and proof... that has me convinced of characters. If they could change so easily, i'd be wrong.
False hope is bad hope.
I don't get how a belief that is self empowering would give people false hope. I think people controlling others currently and feeding them lies is false hope... i think that's where we are today. Any new belief system that brings power back to the individual is what i'll vote for. It's all about time-frame in any case... it will happen. It's just "when" ... i personally think that's close. See, if we are going off my platform... then it would be logical for people that are more evolved to come here when it's more evolved. Another topic that's hard to explain through typing though.
The movie part mainly.
I don't get why. I would have expected you to say the whole i'm god part, or that i chose to come here... those seem more ego based. But in any case, i really can't get around ego, selfishness, etc. Bc this is "my" belief. You don't have to believe it, no one does. I know what i am here for, i know where i'm going, and even if i don't... i know it will be "me" who has to deal with it. If it's atheists' way.. i don't have to worry about anything bc i won't know anything (boring)... if it's the infinite other possibilities.. again, i will have to deal with it. That is what my belief is founded on. Does it apply to you? I don't know. But you have to get serious and this is why i don't ask or talk about this over typing... What do you truly believe? I'm not your master, i'm not your teacher... i'm nothing but an insignificant human to you. My beliefs don't matter... it's all about who you believe you are and what character you'll play. This doesn't even have to be spiritual... that's also how life works.
Not a risk taker because it would be foolish to do something dangerous. I don't want to commit harm or potentially do so for a maybe I might know what I want to do with my life.
Everything rewarding comes with a great risk... you should work on getting over that fear of the unknown. But... as i hope you're realizing, i don't get to define anything for you... fun is what you define as fun.

Tim Pool is one example.
I actually didn't like him on Joe Rogan against Jack Dorsey. I thought he was too full of himself and all he wanted to do is give his opinions. Of course they had some good points... but if my worldview is like anyone's i've seen on Youtube... it's currently Joe Rogan. He see's things almost exactly as i do... i really can't think of anything i've disagreed with him on. The only thing i can think of is things that i'd like to see him expand on. He's really my favorite Youtuber currently. Seems like a chill dude to know... except for his high energy bs. I'm not into high energy people... they annoy me depending on the frequency.
I think those conservatives outnumber the progressives in the comments.
Yes, but that is one way i knew Trump would win. Bc if you follow the trends enough reading comments all the time... you see a split bw left and right comments. There are more right comments, but there are left comments too. When it was Trump vs. Hillary... i rarely saw anything against Trump from the left... and, comments such as... "screw Hillary i'm voting for Trump" from left comments were getting thousands of TU's. I know it's only one site, i check others too... but even them, i saw this trend. That's why i knew she would lose. The silent voters may not do polling, but i think a lot of them are online in the comments. Know how they feel... it's a good predictor.
Conservatism is always the movement against progression.
I know that... and i vehemently disagree with staying the same. It's impossible... we evolve and will always progress. But see what you're doing? You're thinking of the word through politics. Why can't we just take this definition: Conservatively: "in a cautious way that seeks to avoid potential risks." The last thing i was thinking of when i used that word was political... stay away from that trap man. It's almost like you're building a phobia around that word... it's a mental trap dude. There is good in both ideas. Staying the same when things are working (for everyone) would be an ideal world so we would all be conservatives. I have no hate for the idea... i currently will fight against it in our present time bc we don't have that world... and yes, it's working for the very few and they are getting greedy. I totally agree.
I don't think he owns one
I think he does. He has programs that helps people get into business. I'm sure they're not free. I can see it in his eyes man, the guy's not stupid... he's just a zealot that thinks the Christian god is real and their is a spiritual war... that shit screws with your mind and makes you crazy... Clearly as he shows it on full display. He's really funny though, and witty... i've binged a couple of his videos.
Well is a banker deserved screwing over people less fortunate than him in order to get a raise?
The answer to this is just too long. Why is he? What is his situation? Has he tried other options? Who did he screw over? Was he forced to? Do others do it? Just way too many factors for me to say if this is wrong or wrong but right. If we take it to the extreme, the 1% screwing people over to keep their power... i think that is wrong and we should fight back. To them it's perfectly right, and i understand why they are doing it... i probably would to. But everything has a cause and effect... if they chose to push humanity into a corner, we will eventually bite back. That's the beauty of humans. With a dog you know the bite is coming... with people, you won't see it when it hits you.
Tim Pool and David Pakman are going to have a debate
I'll keep my eye out for it... i'm not subbed to either. I think i'm going to sub to Pakman... he seems cool. The Destiny guy gets on my nerves. Coincidentally i was just listening to him at work on Kyles 3 hour podcast. He was getting on my nerves bashing on centrists. I don't like anyone that bashes on the idea of centrism... bc to me, centrism means being reasonable and conscious of differing views. Sure, bash on idiot centrists bc i'm sure there are many... but not the idea. As you can tell, i find deeper meanings in words. I don't like it when people aren't being nuanced.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
The closest example I can think of is Sweden.
I'm aware Sweden has some pretty relaxed gun laws.. but do they let you carry anywhere? I feel like the answer is no, but i don't know.
how to start a push mower?
I'm definitely not Beta, but i'm also not Alpha how it's usually portrayed... but i have no idea how to start a push mower... never had one or needed one. lol. I'm sure it's easy though... but i get what you mean.
Yes. That is exactly how i see it (the wolves going after sheep). Why would they struggle or be in danger when they can pick a victim that's easy pickings? I also think gangs don't progress out of their areas bc they know everyone is armed. I think a clear indication of what potential gangs have to grow is seen in South America. So, already, citizens owning guns the way we do benefits us. We really need to arm everyone... i'm totally on board with that idea.
There are arguments against that... accidental shootings will go up, collateral damage, but... i think all of that can be minimized with proper training. I would be okay with making a one week training course, or something like that, for people that want to carry. Just to minimize any damage this type of open carry law would have. Maybe even, if someone can't pass the training... they can't carry until they do. I don't know. We are creative enough to figure it out. I personally think whatever argument there is against it will fall short in this new world... for criminals will truly have to think twice. But i don't know... we've never tried it. I say F* gun control... and lets do, umm... idk, what would be a catchy phrase? You make it up. F* control more guns? i suck at slogans.

This can be Dave Rubin, Tim Pool
Yes... these two annoy the heck out of me, especially Tim Pool. Dave Rubin is an idiot for sitting in front of Shapiro and letting him talk down about him being gay... can't believe he calls someone a friend that won't be with him in his happiest moments.
CNN I think had a poll which has Biden winning but they actually cheated the results
Yes. I also saw Kyle's video on this. I get my news from Yahoo mainly. The reason is that the comment sections usually point out all the errors. It's pretty cool actually. Although, i've noticed there are more conservatives in the comments, there are progressive and other comments too. It's the new age newspaper that allows people to lambaste the article. It's pretty cool.
If you are not harming others or persuading people to join a cult then it is fine by me. I think you should still talk to a professional because from what I read it looks like you have a big ego. Have you watched American Psycho?
Okay, now you got me curious. I'd like to spend some time on this. I told you my belief and the platform that correlates to it (call that the religion). I'm curious how that has led you to think i have a big ego. Can you explain?
Also, how would you define a cult? Wouldn't spreading a religious idea where people take control back while maintaining hope be a good thing?
On a side note, i am a confident person. The way i think is very competitive. I have never started something in life without thinking i can be the best at it. That drive has always pushed me forward. So my ego can be both a positive and negative. But that's just side note in that i'm not denying it, i'm still curious how you came to that conclusion.
Yes, i've seen American Pyscho... but i don't see the similarities to what you're saying. I don't remember the movie enough to remember details.
my youth just for some YOLO moment.
I've had my YOLO moments and they've made me personally better. It's not a bad thing. But, that's not what i meant really anyways. I don't mean go to Havasu get totally drunk on a boat and screw a girl in one of the chambers... although i'd recommend that. I just mean don't focus too much on the future. Just imagine a plan, or make a plan, and push towards it. Just remember to have fun.. however you define fun.
Conservatively is a bad word
Don't be one of those progressives... how is that a bad word other than people decide to label themselves it that you disagree with? I think it's a beautiful word.
Yeah he is mentally not there
If you've ever read the 48 laws of power... there is a specific manipulation tactic i he's using. Appear less intelligent than your mark, your mark will drop its guard. He's intelligent enough to have gotten a business going... so, i just wonder how much of it is a show.
You need doctors for universal healthcare
Of course they will be required... i just want them to get paid. Doctors deserve their high pay.

@TheRealNihilist
Oh, i understand what you mean now. Yes, people just making up bullshit to bullshit i would consider dumb if they truly believe in it and expect the world should revolve around their model. For instance, someone arguing to ban guns when they've never shot a gun, have no clue of the history, the implications, or the correct terms. However, feeling has it's place. It's a powerful emotion that shows us the future. But future tripping is bad when you can't come back to reality, the present, and think about the implications of your feeling. Some people are just incapable of this sort of logic, sadly. That's why i am so interested in the meyers briggs test. It's actually genius if you understand what it's indicating. And the majority of people that score on that test are "sensories" ... which have a harder time with logic than "intuitive" types.That is a far cry from people who I would even call d*mb
Wow, no. But, i'm not surprised. The benefit of my religious view is that i am really good at reading people... society. I knew Trump was going to win as soon as Hillary got the nomination. I won 5 bets with friends lol. And let me tell you, if this dude gets it... Trump will win again. I'm not sure, i have to watch the progression and how he debates... but, he is so clearly a douche bag from what i see so far. Again, it will come down to the douche bag we know that's clear about it... or the one trying to hide it. People see through that facet in our time.Did you see what Biden said here?
The only thing I would like from you is not to start a cult
There is a major problem if i even try to promulgate my belief. It's something that is clear to me, but may not be to others... or simply they may not like what i say. If life is a movie, then certain people are here to be what they are towards that movie. A groupie will be nothing more than a groupie if that's his/her sole role. In order for society to disprove this platform... they would basically have to stop being who they are. Which is clearly not possible, to me at least. So, there is an element of hard determinism. However, the platform evolves. So the silver lining is... are we at that point to evolve? Bc bottom line message of my platform is... everyone is their own god. Whether it's a god of being a low iq slave, or a CEO. They are the character they are, but... this character can evolve and be something else. I think everyone playing whatever role their playing likely wanted to. It's not up to me to say it's wrong or right... bc i have no clue 'why' other than figuring out why i've come here. It's a tricky religion to get followers bc i'm just calling it how i'm seeing it. Everyone is playing their own movie. I know i chose to play what i'm playing... but, i can't speak for everyone else. Was it a choice? Accident? A bet? Someone else convincing them? First time? I have no clue. It's empowering in that it's up to you to figure it out, not me.
I still don't know what I want to do with my life and don't think I would know any time soon.
You're young man. I still haven't figured it out and i'm in my 30s. It really depends on what you want to be. Here is an exercise that helped me a little. Think into the future. Imagine yourself waking up in bed, what do you see? Imagine yourself making breakfast, what do you see? Imagine looking around your living space, what do you see? Imagine the career you are doing that gave you all this, what do you see? I personally see two routes for myself which are both radically different. But, as i'm growing... one of the routes is looking like what i have to do. If i'm right spiritually, you are here to do something specific... but, that doesn't mean it's significant or insignificant. My general rule is... what is keeping me alive. I don't fear death at all... so what is keeping me alive has become clear. But that took awhile to realize. For me to be where i am, my past couldn't be any different... so it's starting to make sense. But if you don't look at it spiritually, you just have to keep pushing forward and doing things until one of them clicks. That may happen fast, or take years... in my opinion, take advantage of your youth... in 10 more years you'll miss it.
you think about the people who it impacts
That's what i mean when i say do it conservatively.
Pakman
This interview was hilarious. I watch Youtubers from every side. Peterson is really funny when it comes to some subjects... liking calling out victim mentality. But against logic, he debate Kyle too... it's just funny seeing the extreme religious zealot side vs. common sense.
I doubt people are going stop doing well as a doctor
I'm worried about innovation. Also, if i could pick any human to be filthy rich, it would be doctors that save lives. So, i want them taken care of in the new system.

I agree. You should be able to have a gun. Even Lanza, he has the right too... but of course, not when he snapped, or whenever he snapped. These are people that just snap without breaking any laws in order for a judge to see them... well, now this is a multi-faceted problem. Yes, he should be able to buy a gun, and we should have the right to protect ourselves from people like him. The only way to fight someone evil is to fight them... not hide. People are going to snap, people are going to want chaos, there is nothing we can do about that right now other than protect ourselves against it. But with things like gun free zones and keeping us disarmed... we're sitting targets.What if you have a mental condition but haven't done anything to put you in front of a judge? If your Adam Lanza, then of course you shouldn't have a gun, but if your an everyday autistic person, who's high functioning, then you should be allowed a gun for protection.
But like i said, it's really a multi-problem. Bc, if everyone was armed, if we get rid of gun-free zones... we aren't fixing anything that matters. There will still be people that want to hurt you... and likely, they'll start making bombs in that reality. If you look up death toll from bombs, we're actually pretty lucky these idiots are using AR's. So, the only way we can fix it is by making a world where people don't want to hurt others. The reality we are in right now... i'm not surprised there are people that want death and chaos. I'm truly not surprised.

@TheRealNihilist
Agreed but people are called d*mb are called that in something important whereas if someone is intelligent at stamp collecting it is not really considered socially smart.
There was a girl that lived in my neighborhood that was clearly not the brightest when it came to the more intellectual subjects. A very in the moment type person. I noticed a lot talk behind her back that she's an "air head" or what not. Well, one day she invited me into her house and there were flowers and plants everywhere. Her hobby was to grow flowers/plants. They were beautiful. I went around and asked how'd you make this or that... and she knew it like a doctor knows surgery. I was blown away, and it made me appreciate a beauty i never gave any attention to. Then on, i laughed at the others saying stuff about her bc they had no idea how deep she actually is once you find something she loved to do. She was smart in her own right.
It wasn't the left so more so individuals in the DNC who might as well be Republicans screwing over Bernie.
Yeah. With all this Biden push... i think they're up to no good again. I personally wouldn't vote for the guy... well, i have to see his debates, but just listening to him on programs... i don't like him.
What is your God's name?
I always talk about my belief, never the religion part. And yes, they're different. My belief is that i have a higher self that is boundless and immortal... this self manifests as finite beings to have experiences (belief is in regards to afterlife). This has been my belief ever since i can remember. The religion part is the platform. My religion is this reality. It doesn't have a god necessarily. If you understand the full implications of what i mean about this reality being my religion is that we are talking about everyone's belief. I have certain prophets talking about my belief, others have theirs. For example, my prophets would be Stan Lee, lord of the rings creators, DC creators, every anime i love creators... those are my prophets talking about my belief (actually, if i go deeper... everyone is a prophet since they are sharing their belief). As a finite entity, those are the type of realities i come from. Or, that's just the type of character i am. The trick with this belief is to not worry about what my belief is .. it's to figure out your own bc it's likely different than mine, or the same, or mix. If you have a god in your belief... then, you have a god. In my belief... i am the god of my own reality. I don't have any other gods... although, everyone of them exists bc of others. With that said, i had to make sure everything i believe has an explanation. So, i can explain exactly why this reality is my religion. However, when it comes to my belief.. there are multiple platforms that would allow for such an implication. Currently, and i should say tentatively, i am most impressed by the infinite consciousness platform (especially since intuitively my platform was similar). That isn't a god, or a "who"... it's just a source that allows for conscious beings and many other things really. But i guess one could call that "god." To me, the platform isn't important that much. It's self actualization that's most important since no one is going to hold my hands through infinity except for myself... at least, that's what i believe. As to the religion... i think this life is no different than a movie.
I am sure he is for free college but I haven't heard anyone be for free university.
I think it was the CNN / Fox town hall, he said college and university should be tuition free. I barely agree with him up to the college level. The only thing i had was a roof over my head and i worked part time, played music on the side, and got enough money to put myself through it bc "i wanted a degree." I do not think this path should be free like high school. You learn way to much about yourself when it's tough. Maybe have programs for those in really bad situations... but overall, this is one topic i don't agree with. The struggle of finding your way in life is really key to growing up out of high school... i don't think we need a bunch of extended high schoolers running around.
People think extreme is bad.
I agree. With that said, i think a little caution from the conservative angle is smart to heed. If you have an "extreme" idea... implement it with some care and conservatively. I think things usually fail bc we are fed up with a current system and want the change right away. Like Iran... the Shaw was way better... but they just wanted the change instantly and now look at them. That's when i think extreme ideas that are even good can go wrong.
Here is a video on how Bernie would win
Haha, you're a Kyle 'seltzer' listener! He is in my opinion one of the best progressive voices. They should listen to his advice...
It is okay for private healthcare but as you can see with pretty much all of Europe public healthcare is the better option
I hope. I just wonder how it will work out in our country. We have to do it in a way to reward doctors and progression while helping people get care. This is one of the good extremes i'm worried about... bc we just want it now. And, that scares me... we need to go about it carefully.

Well, i don't advocate for the background checks to go through your medical records. I think that's dumb for many reasons. Right now, if you do something that gets you in front of a judge, and they rule that you are a danger to yourself or others bc of your mental condition... then, i would say hold off on getting that gun. But mind you... you probably broke some law bc of your mental condition and that's why the judge would make that ruling... which is logical as far as being an indicator that maybe you shouldn't own a gun bc of your health. That's why i agree with mental checks to that level. It's evidence based off your own actions... vs. if it was through doctors which could be bias or misdiagnoses etc.I'm worried that I would be too mentally unstable to own a gun.

@Snoopy
The problem with this topic is that we've never done it. I can't think of any country that has this sort of "wide open carry" type situation. All i'm saying is if we can try banning "assault rifles" for a short time, why can't we try the opposite and see what happens. However, this is a two edged problem. Although it may save some lives (or not), if we can't figure out poverty and crime as well... there will always be violence no matter what we do. I just think more armed would be a safer reality than a bunch of sheep running around waiting for the wolves.

must be intelligent at something while also wining an election
Even the dumbest person is intelligent at something. In regards to Trump, he's brilliant at marketing himself. That's basically who he is. In regards to winning, it was just the right time. Why did i vote for him? The left was pissing me off, basically. Especially rigging it against Bernie. You're right, it's people like me that gave Trump the win... but the left wasn't innocent in that ordeal.
number 1 fan who knows where they are from
Dude... metal-head here, not their biggest fan by far. But they do have some pretty good songs. I follow Youtube trends for personal stuff i do on the side. It really has to do with my religion... I might share that here one day. But basically, it's interesting to me how things evolve. BP is a minor evolution for K-pop. The interview was just a suggestion and i thought i'd look it up... common, these chicks are hot. Had to see them in their semi-natural state.
if they were stars in American
They played Coachella this year... i wonder if they got paid for that -- American style.
My profile says I am a liberal but I think I would closely align with a progressive
I like to figure things out on my own... profile peeking is cheating. Lol. I could tell you're progressive when talking to me... i think it was some other stuff i read you talking about with others that threw me off. I don't know. I'll answer the centrist thing... i'm not a centrist, but my beliefs may put me there. I think people are just different. Some people get offended by pussy comments, some people laugh at it. How can you not be towards the middle without damning a whole group of people? I'm centrist in that i think you should tread lightly and be reasonable to those different than you. Overall, I believe in progression, bc that's inevitable... we evolve. So i'm progressive... just not with guns. I'm pretty right or center right on that issue. Oh, and with abortion i go with the brain activity argument. Those are the two issues i may lean a little right on.
Depends on how you look at it.
I do, bc i know once it's said and done... they need to work it out through congress and a bunch of other mess. Free college/university may only come down to college and a little boaster check if you want to go to Uni... it's not going to be college and university paid for... which is one issue i don't agree with Bernie on. In any case, it isn't going to be what they're saying, maybe it will be, it's usually not. That's why i see it as saying the extreme to hopefully get a version of it. But do i think UHC is extreme, no. Doing everything Bernie is saying, yes.. i find that extreme.
Bernie bro.
I have to wait for the debates... but i think Bernie/Tulsi ticket would be awesome.
Healthcare is already at the middle.
I agree. I don't like the state of healthcare currently. I just hope whatever we do is done right. I personally think with private options it can do good. Pretty sure that's Bernie's plan... which btw, he should talk about more bc most people think he doesn't believe in any private options of those that want it. Kinda what i mean about the extreme side without talking about the icing on the cake.
Well if you mean instead of being offended
You're right, i said that wrong. They should be offended, but they shouldn't let that offense blind them to the bigger meaning of that statement.

Do you think they tell those lies bc it helps people ... or do you think they tell those lies for a more selfish reason?people tell lies in order for the harsh realities of the world to not impact them as much.
We will get to values bc for me the baseline is freedom. How/what should are values be to realize this? That's why i thought it's a hard question. I don't know what American (i'll go with this western nation) values are... it's too mixed. I'm just saying, shouldn't are values be towards something we founded this country on? American's are known to be loyal, patriotic, etc... and many other things, but i think it's bc we value the idea of freedom.

@TheRealNihilist
This is actually a really hard question. As i child, i was always a rebel... and to me freedom was attractive. However, i don't see true freedom. I see controlled freedom with lies to keep that control. Lies such as suffer humbly and you will get to paradise. Lies that you have nothing but at least you have the "potential" to get to the 1%.
Humans are humans. They will suffer in silence to get to heaven (sad). They will suffer their circumstance in hope of one day making it (even though it's not true). People need to wake up in my opinion (which is a loaded statement alone). I like a quote from the Bible... "The meek shall inherit the earth" ... i think that's actually coming. We could be in the beginning of people realizing they at least deserve freedom. What happens then i'm sitting back and watching.
So freedom is what i think of when i hear western values, but we need another enlightenment to understand what that means. It's in the works currently. It will eventually happen bc we will continue to evolve. It's just a matter of time... So it's not 'when' - the real question is 'how' it will happen.
Edit: I should mention i don't translate that Bible quote how the Bible does... i see it as "everyone" inheriting the earth instead of few. If we don't kill ourselves off... i think that's going to happen.

I think we've reached an agreement. Bc, i don't agree with how Korea "is." So, it looks like their politics and government is negatively impacting even the music industry there. So, i'm with you there. And, i'm happy you see what i mean by a program actually being kinda a cool idea to get musicians to a stage. Actually, it's sorta happening in the form of shows like the Voice, America's got talent, etc.. But, it's still not happening large scale. I do think we are starting to incorporate that idea here though... i wouldn't be surprised metal / rap / techno all that starting shows too. Hey, maybe we should start one... how do you get one started?... you probably need to know someone that knows someone i assume... i hate that about America, but i guess i'm free to hunt one down. Is that a plus? A little bit. But the cool thing about America is you can get creative and make something new. So we are largely in agreement... I'll address some of the other interesting points you've made.I can agree with that depending on the work hours and how much control they have over private lives which I hope to be covered in the freedom part.
It's really hard for me to put this in words... but all those age timelines you gave is the struggle man. I didn't come back to reality from the music industry until 28/29 years old. And i had to start over. As someone that went through it, i see a lot of similarity in the struggle. I guess i was free to still get a degree while i did music, so i'm 100% on your side there... but, i don't know about how Korea works to bring these people back to reality. Do they have a plan? Do they just let them go? Are most of these kids from affluent families? I don't know. The struggle looks very similar, but i agree with you that it's messed up if they just throw them back into society without help... that's messed up.These boys or girls are picked at an early age.
I'm not going to go search to be honest, it's just logical. For example, one of the members of Blackpink is from Australia. I don't think anyone is holding her back (unless a contract) to go back to Australia and start her own thing. Most of them in a interview said they want to focus on BP for now... i'm assuming they're making some money to want to stay. Once they ride that out... it's just logical they can leave. Again, i don't know SKorea... but i don't think they disallow citizens to leave.Do you have an example of this?
Actually, it's more so expected than looked down upon... everyone knows producing companies / industries can be shady. Each side just wants the most money... it's a give and take relationship. Which i see why you think it's better here than there... bc there it's just take. I don't agree with that. I just wonder how much the girls from BP make. I can't imagine it's bad once you make it that big.Yes musicians can be enslaved but that is looked down upon.
Hmm, i've been trying to figure out your political views. I wasn't too sure you'd agree so much with me. Yeah, i think both sides are preaching to the extremes. And it makes sense. It's the people that are extreme that will likely get involved and vote more. More logical people seeing the circus just give up. So, i really don't even want to deal with politics anymore... for me now is, which extreme is better. Bc when put into practice, it always comes to the middle. That's why crap is moving so slow... we work so hard to stay away from the middle, but that's where we always end up.Too bad conservatives says socialism bad instead of seeing the pros to universal healthcare and unions.
I gave Trump a try this last time around... but i don't like where it's going. I think i'm going to give Bernie a go this time around. I'd be happy if only his healthcare ideas and wage ideas make it somewhere in the middle... bc that's most important to me personally. Healthcare shouldn't be so expensive. And wages i'm torn on... we shouldn't be slaves to wages. I find the problem with the right is that they hide what power of money gets you. In this reality, the power of money is a super power. I tend to trust that side less bc i know they will only want more. I can't trust them to be in favor of those without this power. I think they are happy just how it is to the detriment of those without this power... which is clear in how things are going. People shouldn't be offended at the "grab them by the pussy" comment Trump made... that should be a realization of the power money gives you.

Are you for or against them? Please state why.
Check for violent criminal behavior and felonies. Check if a judge has adjudicated someone mentally unstable to own a gun. That's about it. For the criminals however, i think they should have it restored if they prove to be doing better. Mental... i guess if they cure too, let them have guns again. I actually think we should have open/concealed carry and no gun free zones. So, i think background checks are good... but i'd rather have a reality where everyone that wants to... can carry and protect us from those that wish to do harm. If harm reduction is what you are looking for through background checks... that won't (hasn't been) work. I'm a strong believer that only people with the same weapon can stop a person meaning to do harm with said weapon. We need to craft laws for country wide carry.

Are you for bringing back slavery because there really is no difference?
That's a bit of a jump, but i get what you mean... however, i do think we are wage slaves currently. It's less racist but more so power based. I don't like it since i think humans should be free. But this gets complicated bc it goes into my metaphysical beliefs. A part of our evolution and experience allows for bad times. And ultimately, i'm okay with that and think America is one that has it best. I really want to visit Scandinavian countries too... i think they are doing something right too. Korea... not so much, i think. I really am speaking extemporaneously. I don't know anything about Koreans.
No they don't.
Yes they do. The error you're making is comparing us to Korea. Korea is worse, i've conceded that... but, record labels do have elements of enslaving musicians. The example i use is literally one of my friends bands. They couldn't split up into other bands until the contract was up. In time, they fell apart, they lost interest... basically, that contract killed their dream. That's why they say in the music industry always have a lawyer with you when signing.
They can't leave and if they do who is going to buy them?
A lot of people. When you get that big... you don't have to stay in Korea. There are hundreds if not thousands that want to recruit these girls. They can also branch out into acting, and many other things that correlate with their celebrity.
He pretty much says in the contract "they have to sacrifice all personal freedom"
Yes i caught that... but i doubt that means for the rest of their lives. It only has to do with the program. It literally is correlative to the military with a little draft flavoring.
Think about spending your entire life on something that you think you are capable of doing. Now think that person said you are not worthy.
This has happened more times than i can count... and musically, it sucked the worse. I sacrificed a lot... took me longer to finish school, jumped around jobs... it takes sacrifice, and it put me back too. That's why i think a program you go through that tells you "made it" / "didn't make it" is actually less brutal. Then you can get on with your life. Now, i don't know how Korea works. I don't know if they have a road to something for the rest. If it's just throwing them on the street homeless, i disagree. But, i'm sure it's a mixture depending on the person.
So pretty much you need them to pay them worse than what they are actually getting because they already control their personal freedom?
I think this last question points out something you might not be seeing from my angle. I'm am only focusing on the program. I think having a music program to get musicians out isn't wrong (even if it's tough and requires sacrifice). Now... you are mainly lambasting the government. I do not agree with their government from what you are saying. Remember... my personal belief is that humans should be free. So, i totally don't agree with them if they are stripping this freedom. When it comes to the program alone however, i see pros and cons. And, some pros are less brutal than what we have... in some ways, it favors those seeking a music career. Whereas ours isn't such a clear path. Minus the freedoms and politics, i do not think the program is wrong. I know i'm not using sources, but i think as an ex-pro-musician... i can use that experience. When i look at it strictly as a path to becoming a professional musician... i almost think i would like their model more. Actually, i think their model plus our freedom would be awesome.

My problem is that the choice they are making is a slavery contract.
Do you really think it's any different here? I'll give you an example. My friends band blew up in my area. A record label signed them to a 10 year contract. In small print it basically said they own their music, and furthermore, they couldn't break up as a band and do solo stuff or with other bands. When they didn't work out together... they couldn't play with anyone else in the industry, plus, they didn't even own their own music. Every musician signing a contract with a record label has some kind of slavery contract. Unless you become huge, you don't get that much freedom. I'm sure it's the same there... if blackpink blows up any more... i'm sure they can do solo stuff and their own work.
Now, i don't know about the controlling everything else in their lives. I don't think the record label 'literally' owns the person. If that's the case, i missed it... i wouldn't agree with that obvi.
If the person is not given two bad choices instead two good choices where she/he has bargaining power to say at bare minimum you do not get to dictate what I do in my private life.
Again, i'm under the impression that is when they are in the program. Once they make it or fail... they're fine to do anything they want. No one owns their lives... literally. They're just strict when they are in the program... it's like marines getting trained for what they do.
she doesn't want her voice given to her children because she doesn't want what she is suffering to be past on.
I'm sure you are aware one example isn't very convincing. She could have been weak minded or a sensitive person. I don't know. But i'm sure there are competitive people in their loving it. I'm also sure there are some sensitive people that feel offended by how they run things. Now, i don't agree with anyone physically abusing these people, but toughening them up... hell yeah, they're about to be on a pretty large stage. They need to toughen.
that freedom they are allowed to pick a job they like if they have a family to support that venture.
Of course i don't refute we have more freedom than Korea... i really don't know though bc i don't know much about their government. But as to ours, sure we have freedom to pick our own jobs... wait, wait... i don't know about that. This is a digress, but i think the vast majority of Americans don't have much freedom at all. It's a facet that we do. Example: The most honest teacher i had in university told me... marketing degree is great, but get good at sales bc 95% of business majors will go to sales. He wasn't lying. We do have more freedom, and i ain't hating on that... but i think we've forgotten what freedom truly means. And, if i bring in that 50% of the country is making less than 30k a year... i'd say 50% of our country is not free. Money doesn't equal happiness but it does equal freedom. A free country shouldn't report the highest stress levels.
The working conditions are awful. That video highlighted it. They control your private and social life and tell you to work for unsafe hours.
I don't know if i can give much stock to one video with the purpose of showing it in a negative light. It's hard for me to believe they are all horrible.
Sure this can reduce creativity but I care about life more than creativity.
I really didn't get the impression they are killing people with the program. It's just a tough program. So is the military. If they want to do it that way, and it produces good results, then i would say they are falling a formula.
If our way is better that means there way is worse.
Sure, i'm not debating that it's better than our way... or even comparable. I'm saying i don't think the program itself is a bad thing. In most other angles i disagree with how they are doing it... but, the program itself is just one way to produce musicians. And, likely really good ones too if you are training young kids, especially boys, to be singers. Boys lose a lot of range after puberty, but if they train through it... they become insane singers.

I get a sense that we spend our free time in different ways. When someone is pouring blood down your throat Is it polite to comment on the flavor? What's theetiquettethere. Hello sir could I have some more... blood from your throat?
All of that happened... not in waking life, in a dream. And the blood... it tasted metallic and was thick, as i remember, but felt good going down. Especially since the girl demon was sticking her tongue down my throat while the other poured. All you have to do is surrender to your demons. You don't need my blood... you need your own.
Free time in different ways? Possibly. I'm just waking up, getting to these replies, going to the gym, grilling some good steak, eating, going out and seeing which demons are with me today... i hope it's a succubus.

Nice to meet you noodle. Find a song that describes you with the lyrics. I'll go through all of it, even if i don't like the song.

Everything i say has a deeper meaning, man... so don't take it at surface level. You are not in that circle of hate... There is a very specific reason i'm saying what i'm saying... it has to do with things deeper than i'm willing to discuss.

Haha... i hate guys. Is that sexist enough. I love the grace of females, and i love the chaos and brilliance in executing that chaos in women. They are my angles... guys are the demons i will devour. But sometimes, i will allow the guy to hold my head back and pour their blood down my throat... as long as the female is there whispering in my ears... become that demon.

What do they have to debate... bottom line you corner them... it's faith. They know what's true for them... and that's real. What they don't know is what's true for the rest of us... the poison of humanity touching this subject is so clear. Bottom line... you will never prove my belief wrong, and i will never prove your belief wrong. Definition of belief matters and is simply, the reason you are living.

So, i think you're with me when it comes to music requiring sacrifice and a lot of pain, blood, sweat and tears to get to the professional stage.
I also think you're okay with people old enough to make the choice to be in the program.
When it comes to the authoritarian angle... i don't agree with that type of government, however i don't agree with our way fully either; the powerful running the people that don't have that power. As a musician, you have to get lucky someone with power hears your music or you know someone. Even here we have to go through these people to make it. Of course with the advent of Youtube that has changed a little, but not much. You will still succeed easier with someone with sway in the industry. Plus, they will drown out the new bands too. Youtube's become a big partner with record labels. So really how different are we? We just have more companies, but at least Korea is being clear about what they're doing. With that said, i believe in our way more bc the more companies there are, and more people, equals a larger amount of creative music and bands. Listening to K-pop, it's clear there are only a few since the music isn't too wildly different than the next.
When it comes to the kids. I knew i want to be a musician at age 11. Further, it was clear that i loved music from age 5. That's why my parents put me in piano classes at that age and i've been jamming ever since. Yeah, i did realize i don't want to be a professional musician later... but who knows. If i was in a program i would have killed it to get the spot. And if i got it, i probably would feel different. So, in my case, i would have been happy my parents put me in the program... even if i lost. Now, there will always be negligent parents that try to get fame and money through their kids. Like putting kids in beauty pageants and the like. That happens regardless of where you are. I don't think the program is bad just bc there are a few negligent parents. I think most parents likely see musical talent or interest in their kids to put them in the program. That's just an assertion, so i feel it is at least somewhat accurate.
Overall, i don't agree with how they are doing it bc it hinders creativity... but, i think the program is just one way to get musicians into the profession. I can't say it's wrong. It's just more direct than what we are doing. But, there way has the goal staring you in the face. As competitive as i was... i would have loved that. Here, it's a grind to become professional at your instrument by yourself, professional with a band, then hunt down and grind until hopefully someone with power hears of you. So how different is it really? You still need that backing. But of course, our way is way more creative and that's why we have probably the largest variety of music in the world that's good. So.. i agree our way is better, but i can't say their way is wrong other than not allowing for variety.

Have you heard of her? I like some of her songs a lot... especially this one.

Although i do like darker sounding stuff, even depressed in ways... this one is too depressed in my opinion. Best way i can explain it is that i like depressed songs, but if they are in your face at the same time. This is just i'm depressed look at me type of song... not, yeah this song is depressive... but not depressive with emotion.
Best i can remember off the bat right now is... this song:
This is a simple example bc it's the darker music before the chorus kicks in, but that is the gist of what i'm talking about. The darker parts are just okay and get you thinking, but when the chorus kicks in with her singing it's at god level. I like it when dark songs do that... you can feel the emotion.
Your song is just straight through dark... imo, that's boring when it's done all the way through. I want to feel the darkness.
Btw, thank you for sharing songs. I look at every song. Music is literally my religion... art in general is my religion, but music is a big part of that.

I should have guessed you like the more major sounding ones. I'll try to find one, i'm not into j-pop so far... but i'll find something.
