“Why do I have pain? If God is truly good, He wouldn’t allow us to suffer” Neat observation. How about when we hit the wall with our head, is that pain also God’s fault? No, you won’t claim that because you understand the true cause of the pain (you hitting a wall with your head). So when it comes to all other pains in the world, just because we lack the understanding from where the pain is originating it doesn’t mean it’s unfair. It just means that we can’t remember, due to the memory cleansing during the reincarnation. All pain is there for a reason, to remind us who is in charge.

Evil is scary only if we don’t understand it. Once we understand the nature of evil, we can neutralize it quite easily. The evil stems from ignorance, from our refusal to learn the essence of who we truly are and why is evil happening in the first place. That's why spiritual education is crucial.

West being material-oriented and East being spirit-oriented is energetically hard-coded. As part of the natural process, the West is exporting materialism to the East, while the East is exporting spirituality to the West (Let's not forget, even Christianity's origins have eastern roots, even more than Christians are ready to admit) It's one kind of synergy, a constant reminder that we need spirit, but we also need material conditions while walking around in this bag of flesh and bones.

Even the term “my relationship”, which is a modern term, is already silly, let alone everything else she says. It’s narcissistic at core. And if it’s plural, as “my relationships”, it’s borderline demonic.

It's hard to distinguish between a genuine human opinion and AI slop anymore. It seems people are optimizing more and more for controversy. They write less to express themselves and more to create a certain effect, and AI is the perfect tool. We have to figure out how to build a proof-of-human social media, or we're gonna get buried in AI slop.

Let me be a contrarian here. If the man is spiritually deprived, women have the moral right to withdraw all these “services”. Man can't just demand these things from a woman, they have to do their part too which goes beyond just working hard and bringing food to the table. Women shouldn’t tolerate men’s spiritual deprivation.

There is an indefinite conundrum between protecting users from scams and fraud and having free and open markets. I don’t think there is a policy solution for such a problem. The only solution is to elevate general human consciousness so we drop the need to scam people altogether. Meanwhile, we will continue to have economic systems that are not entirely free, and often borderline dictatorial.

Rujira is a beautiful name. I got hooked the moment I heard about it. It's mythical, powerful, easy to remember, and a great play of words between Kujira and Rune. It was a stroke of genius. Half of my investment thesis is based on how things sound. The rest are boring technicalities ;-) Thorchain - bold, direct Olympus / OHM / Ohmies - catchy, fun Terra / Luna - branding perfection

This is why I appreciate my years with a Daoist master. A great teacher/coach/guru rarely agrees with you, and it’s for your own good. An average person is filled with so many delusions, implanted through parents, family, and general society, that it takes decades to root them out.

And completely unrelated, if half of the liquidity in the pool is yours, it’s time to leave ;-)
