This sounds like the bottom up approach, i.e. that "consciousness" is more like a medium that's everywhere, even an atom has a bit of this consciousness, and when such small bits assemble together, a bigger consciousness emer

How did you get to the decision makers to pitch your idea? Unless you were already well connected, I presume it wasn't easy to get attention from the right people.

Imo, the logic of most investors is "Can I afford to lose 5% of my wealth? Heck, I can lose 10%!" So all the rich with zillions in assets invest what they can afford to lose, those 10%, and hold. If the rich top 1% owns 50% of the

Imo, most of the evolution science of today is about inventing a cool story to justify the very little data we have. We have what, a bit over ten thousand years of definitive history with solid data, and based on this tiny slice of history

People need to fear something. In medieval ages it was heresy, 50 years ago it was communism, 20 years ago it was terrorism and today it's racism.

From wikipedia: Vāmācāra is a Sanskrit term meaning "left-handed attainment" and is synonymous with "Left-Hand Path". In occultism, "left hand path" means black magic. So it would be the "right hand path&q

That's not whiteness, but culture fit. To get into important clubs in say China, one needs to look like them, speak like them, have common background. Same here. The problem with blacks in America is that they don't want to change

Bro, relax. The law is mostly a social fiction. We live a short life that can end without notice for any reason, and I wouldn't waste these few tens of years on following silly rules invented by some mediocre people.

One more observation. The choice of words in "diversity equity inclusion" is telling. DEI is god in Latin. In good old times, the ruling class had the Church with its inquisition and heresy to control the crowd, when the neutral l

When they spin in the same direction. Spinning creates the effect similar to magnetism.

Spinning masses produce gravitational waves that are described by the same equations that describe magnets (a peculiar coincidence, to say at least). If galaxy cores didn't spin, stars in the galaxies would fly away as they are moving

In other words, the woke bullies want to dominate over a poor white-looking kid by forcing him to say that it's him who's the dominant despot. The actual heirs of rich white families watch the show from the vip seats.
