voidisyinyang - I'm familiar with modern WEIRD culture, but not ancient Aryan/caucasoid/Nordic history... For example, I do know that WEIRD colonialists destroyed millenia of sustained permaculture just like this ALL around the entire planet over just the last few centuries. And in general, they've seemed to have a fundamental disconnect with and disregard for Mother Nature. But who exactly were all these WEIRDos, who were they descended from, how did they arise, etc etc - I do not. As I've said before, they do seem to fit a warrior caste, "Mad Scientist," Luciferian archetype - that ultimately wishes to usurp and replace "God" with weaponized technology.

Yea, this seems to be a common milestone. And an advanced one at that. Interestingly, it seems to be found more amongst internal martial artists. Something seems to get lost in translation when practitioners don't practice both physical and energetic aspects. Purely physical martial artists and purely "mental/energetic" New Agey spiritualists both don't seem to develop these abilities.

Yes, farming was a snowball effect down a slippery slope... As is any manipulation of Nature. For example, just choosing annual wheatgrass over perennial wheatgrass was essentially choosing short-term, apparent "gains" for just people over long-term, holistic gains for all. (By Dehaan - Jerry Glover, CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=5203371) Now, it's been literally shown that the effects of replacing perennial grasses (on left) with annual grasses (on right) extend at least 14 feet down underground! So, just imagine the destructive effect on that amount of deep soilweb...as well as lost nutrition no longer being drawn up into the foliage and grain! A great recipe for malnutrition and soil erosion, anyone??? This is the definition of 'unsustainable,' and we've been doing it for thousands of years now!!!
-
So when monoculture farmers replaced native perennial grasses (shown left) with annual grains (shown right) - this is what all they uprooted and destroyed 14 feet underground (invisible to the naked eye): Seriously, is there a more destructive species on the face of this planet? Like, even remotely close???

Lol, no chance in H*ll is Clyman going to advertise a live "competitor!" Nope...he'll wait until he's "safely dead" before he dances on his grave to plug his own DVDs! ...cuz he just CLASSY like dat!

Well, at least they're fast tracking some corrective action now - at the fastest rate in the industrialized world, in fact. Better late than never...

People often loosely banter around these claims like big fish stories, yet it's extremely rare to actually meet a qigong master who can even run qi at powerful levels enough for real healing or advanced internal martial arts moves. But much less someone who can actually exhibit comic book superhero siddhis at will. Pyrotechnic and telekinetic Greek monks on demand? Where? Show me even just one! Usually when it's time to actually put up...there is no proof or pudding to be seen. A lot of claims boil down to personal subjective experiences that begin and end with, "I felt..." Which is why "John Chang" became a cult hero. Because there was few to no one else publicly delivering pudding as impressive and convincing (objectively affecting external phenomena and inanimate objects at will under imposed test conditions) as his. Lol, although Clyman does seem to have enough jing for some powerful healing...that would still not put him in the same class as "John." And then he gleefully announces the "death" of his "competition" - in order to plug more of his Nei Kung program $ale$. LMFAO...CLASSY!!!!

You are the Truth - a poem about non-duality

Well according to The Hidden Life of Trees, deer have become forest pests because their natural habitats - grassland savannas - have been destroyed by human civilization. Not to mention, many of their predators have also been depopulated by us. And it also speculates that trees may halt production of nuts as a defensive measure to starve out deer that have become too virulent. Well sadly, shellfish and coral are going to be dying off too as ocean acidification dissolves their shells (already happening NOW)... I mean, about HALF of the planet's wildlife has already been quietly depopulated by human encroachment in just the past 4 DECADES. So, we are literally pushing all other life on this planet to the brink of EXTINCTION...and that is NO EXAGGERATION! -
You are the Truth - a poem about non-duality

Yea, I've been ranting a lot lately about how important FORESTS are and how disconnected "mad scientist" WEIRDos are from them. Deforestation is sometimes distantly seen as a vague problem abroad, but never within our own borders. Most WEIRDos are stuck on debating "carbon-based climate change"...because that's what the mass media has deemed our main problem as. Domestic deforestation is not even on their radar, though. Forests are simply not popularly appreciated or valued in this culture... When in fact, they are the climax ecosystems on land and should really be revered as natural, sacred, shamanic spaces, on top of all else (IMO). Which is a whole topic in itself! So...what to do? Well, we can't turn back the clock, but any awareness and efforts will at least help... For example, this is a cool little story about a small group of (mostly volunteer) stewards that has worked for 40 years steadily clearing invasive brush and repropagating native plants to help restore the Somme Prairie in Illinois. They've actually helped bring a few plants back from the brink of extinction, while knocking back the invasives invasion a few notches in their area too. Now, if these community efforts were replicated across the country in every town - things could improve even more. Because as parcels of wild land keep getting divvied up into suburban lots, WE are each becoming the new stewards of our land - whether we know it or not! But as of right now, the only practices that are being replicated municipally are all those that cut down, poison, and pave over Nature... -
OT - but just curious how you seeded your Shiitake mushrooms on those logs? Did you just buy some at the store and crumble them on? Or did you have to buy some special plugs or spores, or something?

Yup, the onward descent of Mad Scientists here continues unabated: Gee, whatever could go wrong next???

^ Or haystack warning? Simply posting a 40-min video response is even worse than posting a wall of text... Great to post it as a reference, but could you please also summarize your key arguments from it first? I can speedread, but I can't speedwatch.

Lol, well the European invaders destroyed most of the local peoples, their cultures, native animals, old-growth forests, and lands upon arrival here. Not to mention what all they did around the rest of the world, too. Oh yeaaa...gee thanks, 'Murica!!! ^5 Simple point being, they did a lot more TO the world, than FOR it - as you had ridiculously proclaimed. No way in H*ll can you spin all this mass destruction as positive contributions! Much less than...more than any other country in the history of the world??! Now, if you would get over and accept these facts, then you would stop trying to move the goalposts and rationalize yourself otherwise...

For...or you mean to? Hello facts! Amurica. NUKED. Bikini Atoll...EVERY*FVCKING*DAY for 12 YEARS! What other country has done that??? What other country has done any of this???

Yea, ultimately it boils down to our beliefs about money. So, if you want to gain wealth - you have to troubleshoot those beliefs first. Especially in this forum, "spiritual" people really tend to have repellant beliefs about money. For example, not only do you believe that you must work to "earn" money, but that you don't even deserve to get paid for whatever work you do do! Whereas most wealthy people get paid handsomely for their work, or have so much investment income (or other accumulated wealth) that they don't even have to work for it anymore. I mean, for just one small, extreme example of what's possible out there: Even a homeless man probably could have begged for $50 to invest - just kept pissing around for 7 years - and now be sitting on $36 million today! There are general "outer" guidelines for attaining wealth, but ultimately no limits. Somehow, all the water outside will find a way to match the level of your water inside.

In modern times, I think Islamic terrorism is comparatively miniscule, asymmetric blowback against perpetual global Zionist warfare on their homelands. However, historically, I think the Moors did raid Europe out of pure, textbook imperialism?

Right, China has already been LEADING THE WORLD IN RENEWABLE ENERGY investment for the past several years now... So, they are already working more than anyone (including the US) to leapfrog directly to greener energy. Obviously, you can't transition from semi-3rd World to 1st World overnight, though... Meanwhile, the US blockaded cheaper Chinese solar panels, while pissing away $2 billion in tax dollars on failed domestic companies like Solyndra. In the end, US taxpayers & consumers, Chinese companies, and the global environment all lost. Wow, how's that for an "American Way" trifecta?!

Sweet, I think I might have seen this one before... But, what is it?

What about Akhenatalien?

Uh, what are the "dangers" of population decline? Restoring the environment - that is getting ravaged by WEIRD lifestyles & population growth?

As far as IQ, scientists just found a new batch of genes which accounts for 20% of the IQ differences between European subjects. And they estimate that genes in general account for up to half of measured intelligence.

Well, that's why I feel it's so devastating when even just 1 healthy tree, much less a whole old growth forest, gets cut down. Because look at how long and against what odds it took for even just 1 tree to grow out in the wild? First its parent tree had to reach maturity to produce seeds. Then, one of those seeds had to implant into soil fertile enough to grow. It had to germinate and sprout. Become a seedling. And at these early stages, it is still very fragile and subject to various threats.. To even survive this far, is not easy! Only if it does, does it slowly becomes a young sapling, sturdier, and more established. And after that point, it still takes decades and centuries to keep growing larger and larger... Nothing but rings and rings of TIME! Many, many trees never make it this far. So, when you cut down a desirable (noninvasive), healthy, mature tree - it's like gunning down someone who just won an ultramarathon. But one that took decades or centuries! That represents a huge loss in history and something that would take decades to replace, at the least. And even then, it still wouldn't be the same...

That has more to do with the fact that US college campuses are far Leftist reeducation camps, and will obviously only hire those who toe their company line. So, her views are pretty standard for most all of the faculties and student bodies there. The irony though is that she is actually working for a university that was originally funded by blood money made from trafficking opium to China. Russell & Company funded key pillars of the very power infrastructures of the American Empire - like Yale, Skull & Bones, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Keep in mind that this protracted trade war probably cost 100 million Chinese lives and land. And interestingly, BOTH the Americans (1773) and Chinese (1839) had revolutionary "tea parties" against Britain... So, a lot of people around the world were tired of their warmongering, colonialist, drug-peddling, lying, culturally & environmentally-destructive SH!T! So, she would actually have some historically-legitimate gripes in her contextual position - although I doubt she has any clue about those... I would agree that she abused her position of authority with lowball racist slander and perhaps more importantly, missed opportunities of actual education. But, as long as students and taxpayers keep funding these institutions with such agendas, this is what they can keep expecting... It's absolutely NO SURPRISE!
