Lucid Dreaming vs Virtual Reality

while i have talked a bit about staying grounded in this cold, dark universe of ours, the truth is a good majority of us in general have always a tendency to fantasize and that's not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes it can be a relief from having to think about the more mundane parts of our lives,...

Re: Not Doom, Not Hopewash, the Third-path Future.

Take a deep breath and realize it's OK to not write run-on sentences. sorry if that bothers you, that's just my writing process- but you're right in terms of me needing to organize my thoughts better. still though, this does not address the earlier point i was making. Yes. Dystopian ones, which you...

Re: Not Doom, Not Hopewash, the Third-path Future.

I had ego death for the first time in 2017. You're right that MythOfProgress has no no clue what he's talking about...again. if this really was the case- you would think the other text you wrote earlier would come from a sci-fi novel catering to escapist fantasies, in contrast to the realization th...

Re: Not Doom, Not Hopewash, the Third-path Future.

The climate is a stickier wicket but not as in the end times bag as it being perceived. read the latest IPCC reports( which i consider to be highly conservative as a result of fossil fuel companies and various governments in place that have vested interests in paying to downplay the information in ...

Re: Not Doom, Not Hopewash, the Third-path Future.

Re: Peter Thiel's failed predictions about today

1) Inserted partisan politics into an apolitical discussion. technically speaking, everything is political in a sense- it's not something we can run away from and especially considering this is the same guy(Thiel) who's donated before to his conservative cronies and propped them up- he's definitely...
