relevant to my current endeavors is that you are deeply propagandized about this issue without realizing it. they take you into a room in high school and show you a horror film where everyone is screaming with zero context and thats the first and only time many people see birth.
also the way people talk about it. people talk to and about pregnant women as though there is something wrong with them, or, more accurately, as though they are going through a medical [pathology]. after being in this world for some time it has honestly been insane to unpack.
i would like to explore this topic with the other men here at some time but at this moment i am once again (appropriately) driving to the nearest city state for natalbaby inspection.
i will plug relevant thread here in my absence:

nagarjuna articulating the doctrine of interdependent origination in second century northern india (colorized):
if you want to sound really cool this is called sunyata by the way, but the S is a SH sound like in upanisads. basically its the idea that things are inherently empty of self nature in the specific sense that they arise as a result of other things that are external to themselves
while it is true, and i cant say what its like studying this in a proper cohesive context, ie within a lineage of esoteric buddhism, for me the missing piece is slightly platonic - in that, yes, a whale arises as a result of many other factories external to the whale. thats true

this is what oversocialization is btw. anything that trips the “thats not what youre supposed to be doing” wire sets off abject panic and rage (and fear) instantly. theres no sliding scale - your perception of social norms become a binary.
its basically impossible to function now in normal society (for most of you, i know many of u know this) without understanding the thought process here. this person did not hear the words and assess them. its “he said something not positive about the thing” wired to “hes INSANE”.
people you deal with like this are not responding to information. they are responding to sensation (the sensation and feeling of being uncomfortable). you cannot reason someone out of a sensation, because its an intrinsic feeling reaction. this is not necessarily intuitive.

alright im stuck in my car rn and trying not to wake my wife up so its time for a thread on terrence mckenna. might have to pause at some point but lets do it.
so, if you dont know you can look him up, but he’s basically [the] mushroom guy. if you’re into mushrooms you would know who he is. mainly his ideas were disseminated in talks and a few books, he has a few interlocking theories about life, the mind, the universe, mushrooms, etc.
i suppose in the current popular “spiritual stuff” domain he would be most well known for coining the term “machine elf” for the beings people often see on dmt. he was an early DMT guy in the sense that he was talking about it when it was still ostensibly difficult to find.

its my own view of course, but that isnt why. the process just doesnt work the way he hypothesized it to. honestly, i did it. i took normal people to art spaces and to the woods and gave them acid and they eventually go back to being the same or just become more “how they are”.
i was thinking about timothy leary recently because someone brought up terrence mckenna, and i kind of view them as a one two step process. they were both ultimately wrong for different reasons, i dont even really hold it against them personally, they just didnt have the data.
its easy to imagine being a certain type of person and taking acid and then thinking, wow, we just need everyone to take this. but that didnt work, and whats mostly interesting for me about the space is that you still have people acting like this massive experiment never happened

yes, this is true - both in the sense that going completely down the political rabbit hole often leads to a theology (clearly observable), and in the sense that someones political views and the specifics of them invariably flow out of metaphysics that will constitute “a theology”
what basic rights do people have and why, and what does that even mean? look at all the traits someone has: which are intrinsic and which are incidental, and how does this affect how we would ideally group them? what does the ideal society look like, why? these entail metaphysics
most political differences people have even come back, imo, to a singular theological issue: what makes and determines reality? some people are playing a game where there are set conditions and we operate within them, some people are playing a game where we set all the conditions
