I just read it back... i didn't mean it's not a really good one in general bc i do believe it is currently the best platform that can explain a lot. I just meant it's not a perfect guess, bc there are other platforms that can be exactly the same with the same implications. Although, through some thinking and reasoning through it, i do think the non-dual platform is above all else currently.and not even a really good one

Religion 100% is absurd to me. It is clearly man made and quite frankly evil in the mass delusion it is causing. I quite frankly despise religion bc it is something that is destroying humanity. Now, does religion have some good stuff too... of course. It's books on morals and self-help type stuff. So obviously there will be stuff that's good. But as a whole, and for what it is... i'm anti-religion.
As for why i stay away from the theist thread. I'm agnostic. Although, i truly believe there will be an afterlife... i have no clue what that afterlife would be. There are certain platforms that sound better than the rest. You and i share one of my favorite. However, i know it a guess... and not even a really good one. Bc think about it like this. Although we share in thinking an eternal consciousness is a good platform... it can just as easily be wrong. In what way? It could literally be just like the matrix. We could be inside a machine simulation. The real reality is a machine intelligence that has us all in it. That is basically the same as an eternal consciousness... an eternal machine. That is besides all the other nuisance of there could be more than one, it could have evolved, etc. etc. So i'm throughly agnostic. And even on my favorite platforms i see more than one having the possibility to be true.
In the end of the day, my only real belief or sorta intuitive belief is that we will survive death. Still not 100% in order to really be called a belief, but i do highly suspect we will. In what form, i have no clue. I can literally list a 100 platforms. I think it is good to be honest with yourself and just say you don't know. That is one thing i do not like about theists is that they pretend they know. How it works, how it thinks, the exact implications... no one knows. And it is deluded in my opinion for people to pretend they do. I am less like a skeptic or atheist in that i truly see a possibility in surviving death, but to be exactly sure what it is... no way. There are way too many ways that could be the case. Everything being one consciousness... and individualizing within that consciousness. I like that most. But who knows.
And to be honest... you are the only theist i like in there. Well, i have nothing against Jane either nor do i dislike her, but she doesn't really converse with me in detail anyways. I have nothing to say to any of the other people in that thread other than to tell them they are wrong.

Yeah... as for a flood, i'm sure many have happened. A worldwide flood, i doubt but i guess it isn't impossible. But a guy that put every animal on a boat that he created and sustained them throughout a flood... is delusional.

I personally think technology and man power would be enough and much more effective than a barrier. I guess some kind of barrier obviously wouldn't hurt. But the two i mentioned would be quite effective in and of themselves.

It takes people to arrest at the wall too. We can't make a wall high enough where people can't go over it... and if in the rarest case it's not possible for some reason, under it. It's just a waste of money. Fine, if you want to have both a physical and technological barrier. Just put up a high fence. Nothing expensive but lets you put up 2 things. In any case, a wall is a very dumb idea... unless you can convince me otherwise. What advantage would a physical wall have that something like a fence and technology wouldn't have better?

In an age where we can easily have man power and technology could catch a fly... no, i don't see any reason. Plus, you are talking about a physical barrier. I think that's junk. It will be easily manipulated and circumvented. But something like motion capture heat seeking cameras... they will catch everything. I am talking about having a technological barrier. We don't need a great wall of America in this day and age. It's dumb and ineffective.

Yeah, i wish the news was actually news and helped people understand these situations. If most people knew congress could stop it, there would be an outcry for them too. In any case, i don't see this going too long one war or another. It only hurts the Presidents image the longer it goes.

It isn't taught at an early age or high school. But, my parents were always really good with money. They always taught me to make money work for me not the other way around. And in college, i learned a bit too since i'm a business major.

Congress can be blamed too, but you can't say don't blame the president bc it is all his idea and he started it. They are both equally to blame. This is a dumb shutdown. I don't see any advantage in a "wall." Have an effective border patrol and have better technology protecting our borders. A wall is so 7th century thinking.Congress can override his veto with 2/3 vote...Don't blame the president.

Oh, you misjudge me. I'm making fun of outplayz because he invented his own religion, and the more he talks the more insecure he looks. I'm just egging him on. His mind fills in the blanks, because he thinks it is all about him like the spiritual egotist he is. Keep the cocaine away from this guy.Isn't it interesting that he is lecturing me on pride?Paragon of humility right here, Mr. Outplayz he is.Of course I struggle with pride issues. The only people who don't are the ones who have embraced their pride. Well, I wasn't born an Orthodox. I certainly didn't have to submit myself to the church. After all, it would have been very easy for me to say, "Oh I got it all already, I don't need a church.". But me doing so was certainly an act of humility for someone with as much pride in fheir own insight as I.Certainly, I can be haughty, and it is to my shame.But I am not disputing Outplayz. In fact, he isn't even really arguing with me, he's fighting himself right now. He thinks he's fighting me, but that is because he lacks self awareness.But that is just this ones observation, and I probably just see that because I'm arrogant
LMAO you're trying so hard... Also, says the guy that started this whole discussion with bigotry.

@janesix
It is very extensive to just tell you what they mean. Self actualizing is understanding yourself. Most importantly, understanding your ego. Knowing what your positives are and what your negatives are. Knowing when you are being humble and when you are not. You also learn, in meditation, what traps are. You know when your ego is trapping you and you learn to shut it down. Then, in combination with enlightenment, you go on another level of self-actualization. That can be different depending on you bc you will realize your experience is your experience and you sort of step out of your body and realize your journey through the eyes of the universe. Enlightenment, you break out of societal norms and look at the world as a whole, look at your journey as a whole... that you are the eternal driver. That you are not bound by anything. You start to clearly see things, you spiritual beliefs, society, the people around you... you see them as what they are. Enlightenment is basically understanding that you are nothing and you are everything. It's like you are darkness that just realized you can turn on the lights. And once you do, darkness can never be true for you again since it can never beat light... your true self that isn't bound to anything in this world. It becomes you against the world instead of the world working for you. Then in my experience, you realize this world is just an illusion. That you are part of an infinite consciousness and that you created yourself. That you are everyone and everything.

So... am i allowed to say i am atheist towards all religion? Is there such an atheist? I am for sure agnostic, but i do also believe there is a very high likelihood there is another dimension and/or a higher consciousness. Man... i just don't fit in anywhere =(

@Mopac
I truly doubt these people around you are wise. I think they just agree with you so you call them wise. Bc it sounds like you are just trying to pretend these saying are wise (i should add; god forbid, you actually think they are wise)... bc they are not. A humble person can easily be humiliated when they are wrong, bc they are humble...Jesus christ. And as Keith said, you are not a very good example of a humble person so i doubt you understand.

You can read through it really quick if you only look at what the laws are. Those are pretty short explanations. The bulk of the book is stories that show the rules at work in real life. So you can learn what the rules are in a day. To get a better grasp of them and how to use them you'll need to read the full book.

No problem man. That book will really make you rethink the world. Just be-careful... you might feel like it is evil at first, but trust me... people do the things in the book to you all the time. It's good knowing it, and being able to do it if you have to. Good luck.

Sounds good. And btw, i don't mean get into the politics of your work. Stay away as much as you can from that. I guess i named it incorrectly. This is more a power thing. There is a really good book called "the 48 laws of power" that explains what i'm talking about. It's one of the best books i can think of. An interesting read too bc it gives you real life examples of the methods.

Well that's good. But remember, it's not something you can just do. This is a skill that you have to develop and practice. Unless you are a natural at it of course. I was, but even then... there are things that i had to read and learn to get it better. I'd just recommend staying conscious about this work politics thing. Just noticing it in general will give you a slight upper hand.Either thou I doubt there would work on him. But I can always try.

@Vader
What i'm proposing is a wildly different world than we know. You have no idea if it would truly get rid of evil or not. Of course, not all evil bc there will be new evil... but, it has the potential to keep evil at bay to the point it will be greatly minimized / almost non-existent. But then again... i don't know. This is a wild hypothetical. It seems to me it could have the potential to greatly reduce it and not just "minimally" reduce it. But you might be right too.Would you rather sacrifice privacy for a minimal reduction in crime
For your hypothetical... "minimally" reduce it... no i wouldn't give up my privacy for it. But under my hypothetical, greatly to almost non-existent... i would gladly give up my privacy. That's what i mean / am asking, so how about you?

What are you rambling on about. I simply gave you an analogy to demonstrate things aren't black and white. Your teacher missed that, or just failed to mention it. What the hell are you going on about ego and gurus and shit. Over exaggerated responses are a sign of knowing you are wrong. Bc you are. You can simply say i didn't know that's what you meant, or even you're right... either or will show you aren't the one that can't handle your ego and pride.

I know, i changed that opinion up. However, you don't have to always be monitored. For instance, if you have a good record than you start to be monitored less or something like that. But you're right, you will be monitored. But the question still stands: Would you be willing to give up a little privacy in order to get rid of evil?

@Nd24007
You don't want to reason with him. You want to minimize how his dick attitude affects you. If you play the role of giving him the power, or an illusion of power, then he will start feeling bad giving you a hard time. Maybe not feeling bad, but it will sort of be like a child adult thing. An adult holds back when reprimanding a kid bc he doesn't want to hurt the kid. It's sorta similar to that if you set things up right. Of course, some people don't care at all... but you will have to measure that and switch things up accordingly. I have found through experience, the best thing you can do at work is make sure you set up a persona that is hard to scold. Most jobs will have this work politics. You will always be better off if you learn how to play it in your favor.And unfortunately this boss I'm referring too, it no reasoning with him.
I'm glad your boss isn't always a dick... that's annoying. I've had a job like that and till today it's the worst place i've worked. But i didn't know all this manipulation and work politic stuff... so i was hurting myself everyday trying to go at it heads on. So i know how hard and bad for your health it is going heads on... and most importantly, it never works out for you. Just take this as advice. But if this job isn't one that you think you will be there forever, it's a good idea to start practicing these methods while you are there.

In what way does saying you have to be careful of the parts of yourself that you don't notice lack self awareness? One of the first steps in self actualizing is understanding the parts of yourself that others see and you don't. Hence, you are struggling with those parts and partly in denial until you understand them. If you think that lacks self awareness then you are really sticking fast to the adage... and so is your wife.

He isn't very wise if he can't see that example is black and white. That's not how the world works. You might think you are struggling with your pride but at the same time not aware or in denial of struggling with what i would call your pride that you aren't aware of. Understanding that you are in denial of / not aware of this pride is self actualizing 101.

Scratch that last comment... i just noticed that you would need to monitor for certain crimes. So question still stands, would you put up with giving up privacy to get rid of evil?

@Vader
Also remember... technically, no one needs to be monitoring the cameras. So no one will be watching you do your private things. They will only be looked at when someone does one of the evils.

@Vader
Then we would all see and lock the person up. The more you lock people up... the less and less there will be. At one time, we can even almost completely get rid of evil people. Remember, with this method we are focusing on and working together to get rid of evil people. Eventually we will get them all. But lets say it does get rid of evil completely... would you be okay with the cameras?

@Vader
But shouldn't humans want it? It would greatly minimize their family or friend being raped, murdered or imprisoned? But don't get me wrong. In order for this to work... we would literally have to change all of our laws. The only things we should be looking for are crimes that in some degree fall under rape, murder and imprisonment. For example, degrees of imprisonment would be torture, a pyramid scheme, and people beating someone down. Then we would have to also have degrees. A fight between two people shouldn't be looked at as something that gets you locked up (also depending on situation), but 4 people beating one random person down should be punishable. If we redefined are laws to only look for these things in society... wouldn't it be a benefit and greatly reduce these crimes if we all worked together to stop them?

The police and military. Or an organization we make once we get to this point where we can have cameras everywhere. And whoever is doing this job is obviously under camera too, so ultimately, the public makes sure they are doing there job right. So... the public would also be monitoring.

@Analgesic.Spectre
My credit score is above 800. Using a credit card responsibly and wisely is a big benefit. I can get whatever i want, with the lowest interest, bc of making wise choices with my credit. The only thing i like about debit cards is that it's harder to spend over what you have... but, you shouldn't be doing that with a credit card anyways. So... it has never been a problem for me. I use my credit card and pay it off with my debate card. A lot of people do it the other way around for some reason. I think it's bc it just feels wrong having to owe money later than just using "cash" on the spot. But just like many things in life, the best way is usually what feels counter-intuitive.

Train? 405 / 5... sounds like you live in Los Angeles. There are 100s of jobs there... just start looking for a new one. Or, put up with him. I have found to play ignorant and feed this type of persons ego is the best manipulation technique. Just pretend you didn't know and that he is teaching you. Play being very nice and innocent. Once you get it down, you will have him in your hands.
My boss is literally the definition of a dick. But i have him wrapped around my fingers and he doesn't even know. He thinks he is in control when in reality... i am doing whatever i want, when i want while he gets a false sense of control. Dick's are the easiest to manipulate.

The multiverse is greatly supported by a oneness / pantheistic type of platform. Creator gods would fall apart in such a platform. Bc the implications of the creator god or i should say main religion one god our universe type thinking doesn't match up. But if everything is a part of an infinite consciousness, then there is no heaven or hell, there is no one god looking over you type thinking, any one god creates man in its image, etc. The platform would be the source to life, and life can manifest in infinite ways in infinite realities. No rules other than death being one with everything, living being a dual being experiencing. How that happens for each is subjective to the observer.

No, bc that's simply a power trip and pushing your views on others. Being able to get over them banning you is what would correlate to being able to put up with the internet. I'm sure he will, he seems to be the type to not be affected by stupid internet junk. People should also be able to put up with a bully. If they can't, they have some self actualizing and personal growth to do. And what better place to practice putting a bully in his/her place than the internet. This site is devoiding people of that growth.

So what? If he is a bully that's one thing... if he is breaking rules that's another. Just bc someone is a dick shouldn't result in them getting in trouble. I've made this clear.

Telling me what happened is going to get you in trouble... really? That in and of itself is BS.I am opposing him and saying 'no here is what Sam did'. If I go into details it will be defamation-type violation by me.
This is about doxxing. Look at Virts comment. He says it is very serious and should be punished severely. If this is his attitude towards someones violations... then they should be true. Still i have no idea what happened, but as Wlyted is explaining it... i agree with him. Doxxing needs to be malicious and it needs to have been researched on a forum. You have to research it and use it against someone. If he did that, i can agree it's doxxing. If he just said something he knew in the heat of a discussion or just made a random comment... it's BS and not doxxing.

You are changing the thing in focus... Doxxing. If it is how Wylted is portraying it, it shouldn't have even been a cause in the ban. It's dumb and over-moderation. Which i don't know why you are even defending. You know first hand the problem with over-moderation.He was banned for repeated, calculated and directed abuse to hurt specific users in specific ways. This shallow-dox-reference to Zarro's past is hardly why he was actually banned, it was one tiny part of it.
