    I don't see you doing any better.

    that could come from either

    a) i'm actually not doing better or

    b) ur not able of seeing what better even is



    it's not that the point are completely wrong, and may even be useful
    to some people, at some points in their life ... but they certainly
    aren't absolutes

    for example: the mind is a projector, true but it is also camera

    > it is not one or other, but both
    >
    > #god

    liberals love huffing that shit because it's always about individuals
    work on their own self, fitting the hyper-individualism of modern
    late-state capitalism

    Oh, poo. You're >< that far from losing grasp of how to give
    compassion to others.

    means words on a screen are really just that Efn+


    On the other hand, I learned that through Tibetan Buddhist practices.
    If you can't come up with practices to help you with that -- so sorry, nevermind.

    i mean if u haven't gotten to the point of:

    > there is no ethical production in capitalism
    >
    > #god

    then u may be lacking in compassion for others.

    but it's not a lack of capability for that compassion creon, i'm sure u actually are trying more than some of the other chucklefucks found
    around these parts of the net ...

    it's lack of opportunity to build that compassion by intimately
    witnessing the lives for the 90% of the planet that lives on <$20/day

    if buddhist teaching were going to resolutely fix that suffering, while
    still keeping the economy running, they would've managed it centuries
    ago. i'm not saying the monotheist are more right: but at least the
    monotheist generally recognize more evolution is to come


    TL;DW: When you get down to the nitty-gritty, we (TINW) have
    a lot more in common than different.


    Did you lose the plot?l


    idk what the plot even was, so here's instead some music in motion:
