Discussions about consciousness are absolutely fascinating. In fact the whole podcast from start to finish covered lots of stuff which was all interesting.
When scientists talk about the known observable universe, do they call it that because we haven't got technology or powerful enough telescope to see any further or is there some other reason???
I seen something land on the road in Tucson
Anyone watching during the pandemic of 2020 after realizing this guy is part of the "Radicalxchange Foundation" who, along with the Rockefeller Foundation wrote the "Roadmap to Pandemic Resilience"? It turns out his little group wants the abolition of private property and making everyone basically become renters of every resource on the planet. Come on, people, all these little millennial do-gooders want is power, while feigning altruism. WAKE UP.
First of i gotta say this some of the things he talked about really moved me, but the one problem i see with the theory of charity is, when he first talks about the man in a suit stepping in the water is the assumption that we have suit on in the first place, for the money you donate you need to work to have money, if we all like him preached about charity and got money from it we could all donate to charity, you gotta work for the money you donate, and that would be the hole, if people worked for the money they donate, they will feel like they are doing work for saving the children, nothing wrong with that, but does anyone really think that people will feel the need do less work since they don't need things to buy, which would result in less and less of charity. Idk if this make sense im kinda high af to be honest.
