Sorry to inform a few people, you can't be libertarian socialist Libertairianism is about individual rights, socialism is about group rights. These are diametrical opposites. If you are at all socialist, you are not libertarian. Individual choice has zero space for group control
haha. i see that you have not taken a plunge on this side of the rabbit hole yet. so let me be your humble guide. you have PhDs and Masters but have you mastered your own conscious blob? let me offer you my dharma teacher. #hardcoredharmahttps://youtu.be/2iuZwivL7HY

No, I managed to study it and see the flaws, the many many flaws as well as the heart of it being nihilistic. I understand it well, I just think it is to be avoided.
-
either you only studied it academically or you’ve had sucky dharma teachers
Buddhism is not nihilistic. it can’t even be categorized as a single discipline or belief system. it’s a spectrum of philosophies and practices evolved through human history. did you actually practice? -
Yes, I did. The abrogation of self is by definition nihilistic. Losing one's self-hood is not a goal to be proud of. It is also rather hypocritical.
-
so you stopped at the gates i see
losing the self is just the first step.
realizing that there’s no self to begin with takes bigger balls
this no bs. see latest developments in neuroscience. #hardcoredharma -
No, that is just even more nihilistic. It takes far more balls to step up and see that you are real and that you are the thing you have to manage, that it is you who make your own choices. The other is a cop out
-
the bigger balls is doing BOTH! knowing in the back of your mind that the self is impermanent, and then acting out in the real world with passion and compassion to change it for the better even if everything is in flux.
#hardcoredharma -
No, acting from passion when you know it is you and that the costs are real and you bear them
-
appreciate, transcend, and improve the human condition, don’t have to be mutually exclusive. https://youtu.be/9PB0YKPBn0w
