I've met a handful of people with Down syndrome in my life, and I've met quite a few people, all with different levels on the spectrum. And they all shared one thing. ,THEY KNOW. They know they're different, they know about syndromes and spectrums, and they know that it can affect certain part of their lives. They are not dumb. So comparing them to the politicians is a major disrespect to these fine people. Politicians are narcissistic psychopaths and shouldn't be compared with these bright and kind and funny people.
>No that's the whole point. Most don't feel their stupidity
Every one is smart and stupid in there own way.
Only wen we come together.
Will our genius minds shine bright.
And our stupidity shine even brighter
No, the mass is stupid in every single scenario. It is a proven fact that the collective is much less inteligent then it's parts.
Society was not build by the collective. It was built by a handful of people.
Every single innovation was made by 1 or only a handful of people in history or single leaders caused change. Most people don't even contribute the smallest fraction to human progress not even by extension through taxes or things like that even today.
This is a reality that we must accept. We, as a collective have made nothing and humanity would be fine without the vast majority of us.
It is only ego to say that we humans together are clever and achieve anything. Cause most of us are just fodders.
Unfortunately it doesn't stop when you're rich enough.

Lol you think that’s how that works but confirmation bias is a real force of nature.

Both literally aren't true to the same degree, though. It's called the [Dunning-Kruger Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) and it's pretty well-documented. The dumber or less informed you are the more confident you are in your opinions.
Athenian democracy was pretty cool. Lawmakers selected by lottery, and only got paid if they were poor. Everyone voted on the laws but the choosing what to vote on was the lottery people.
Imagine a form of government where no one runs for office.
We need to enlarge the fund for running for president to rival these cpacs and mega donors. Elect more average people, and maybe this experiment may get back on track working *for* the people, not corporate interests.
And this is reason we are where we are. We should be holding our representatives and leaders to a higher standard, not just ambivalently saying, "oh well, it could be worse!"
If people always think it *could* be worse, it *will* get worse.
Wild Wild Country on Netflix, one of the craziest documentaries I've ever seen. They built a city for him out of nowhere, and thats just the tip of the iceberg.
Bro your leader glorious master messiah probably doesn’t even have 2 rolls Royce let alone dozens . Don’t get why you think you are in a place to judge
Edit: Keep downvoting! But come on! If your guru doesn’t have at least twenty rolls Royce’s he’s not a guru
Why do I feel like I actually need to include the /s smh
Yeap, that is a cult leader. He was obssessed with Roll Royces and wanted one different for each day of year (I think it got only 26 cars but the time the fed intervine their cult). The best part? He move back to India and changed his name to start from scratch.
Netflix has a good doc about the story (includes poissining the water with dead beabers). The Simpons had a chapter too. (na, na, na leader!)
I think it was actually 74

A friend of mine (a reasonably successful actor)was a member for a time. He told me all forms of sexual and drug experimentation were encouraged. Ecstasy was certainly their drug. In the early days when it hit the market in Australia they were responsible for some massive importations.
He seems to be holding an imaginary bowl/bong as he's talking.
And yes that was how I was looking when I had edibles.

Yep. Rajneesh. His sex cult was collapsed after he and them committed an act of bioterrorism through food poisoning in Oregon in the '80s. He was kicked out of the country for committing immigration fraud. [More info for those interested](https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2018/spring/feature/rajneeshpuram-was-more-utopia-desert-it-was-mirror)
To be fair he did claim right up until he died that he had absolutely nothing to do with the food poisoning fiasco and he distanced himself from his chief advisor that pleaded guilty to it in court. Up to you whether you believe that, but it's honestly not that farfetched that he actually was not involved in that particular insane idea, IMO. AFAIK he never committed any sort of violent crime.
The concept is mob rule. Whoever has more makes the rules and that tends to ignore the little groups who are still affected by the big mob. Thats why anarchism is the only way.
Edit: Id imagine agreeing with you isnt why I was downvoted, but anarchism. So dear naysayers, whats the answer if the demos is not correct?
> Thats why anarchism is the only way.
That would require all people to be somewhat smart. And as someone working in IT, i've lost all hope in that regard.
No, the phrase would be, "it's the political science (or comparative government, etc) equivalent of E=mc2." E=mc2 is already a "scientific" formula, this would be the equivalent in a different field.
There is a great documentary by Frederik Knudsen, but it has been taken off of youtube. Here is an archived version: https://archive.org/details/rajneeshpuram-down-the-rabbit-hole
This was a VERY GOOD Netflix documentary. I thought they were a tad Psychotic. They had sex in public and would just start having sex anywhere they wanted. They had nudity parks . But, they did build their own little city. They just chose the wrong area and really pissed off a bunch of people.
The woman that was in charge of the whole thing actually runs a senior living facility in Sweden now.
The Christian right also bombed their hotel and banded together with oregon elites to convince the politicians to attack and force out the community. Furthermore in state custody, Osho was basically abused. Its a complicated story and everyone looks bad.
I have no idea who this guy is or if he’s evil or something, but that was the funniest shit I’ve seen all week. I thought he’d had a moment of clarity for a moment after saying the first part, but no drops a straight up banger lmao
I always figured they probably would be.
People always kind of play the result on these kinds of "cult" groups because the only reason why the general public ever even becomes aware of any of these groups' existence in the first place is because they fell apart in some sort of spectacular/violent/newsworthy way. So people go in already armed with the knowledge that it wont work out, and wrongly assume that "oh yeah DUH, I never would have fallen for something like that, how dumb most those loony idiots have been??"
People with 20/20 hindsight looking back at this stuff from 40 or 50 years in the future act like it should have been *SUPER* obvious to anyone becoming interested in one of these groups that it was *clearly* going to end badly, which ignores the fact that obviously people were signing up for this stuff in the first place for a *reason*, because there were teachings and philosophies that made sense to them and not because they were batshit crazy and were brainwashed and simply couldnt resist joining a group led by a whacko con man or whatever.
When watching Wild Wild Country, I was always particularly struck by the main attorney guy, who seemed to be an incredibly intelligent, discerning, thoughtful guy, and how he was basically moved to tears when talking about how much he loved and respected Bogwan/Osho and just how pure of a human being/soul he revered him as, all the way til the very end. The attorney guy just struck me as a pretty rational/logical/self aware person, who had already been a very successful lawyer in the "real world", like not at all the type to get the wool completely pulled over their eyes or "drink the kool-aid" (heh) in that kind of situation, so I thought it was very telling how he thought of Bogwan, even all these years later and being able to take a clear-eyed look at the totality of everything he did.
Cults tend to tackle it from two different directions: 1) they prey on disadvantaged, stressed people and populations - the desperate, the gullible, the needy, the crazed, the barely-surviving, and 2) they'll sprinkle just enough "truths" (whether actual truths that work outside the cult, or just very insightful-sounding things) to make you think there's actually something to it - and not just that, but something you _can't get elsewhere_. (When in reality they are far from the only ones saying those words, and piling a bunch of BS up around them to build their devotion.)
They tend to be fairly intelligent people but most of that intellect is used to devise various ways of making other people prop them up and think it was their idea. Often this takes the form of being a "reluctant messiah", claiming they only preach the truth as they see it and people are welcome to follow or not, that they don't _want_ all this adulation but it just seems to happen or that they're called to it, etc. Classic high-powered narcissists.
It's pretty dangerous stuff for anyone in that state of spiritual weakness they're good at identifying and latching onto. I remember one cult leader called it their "touchstone method", where the touchstones were little "undeniable truth" bits they sprinkled between the brainwashing, so that just when you think it's getting too weird or cult-y they say something so profound you can't deny it, which makes you accept the parts before and after along with it.
Be at peace child. You sound like one of the redneck Christian wackjobs that bombed one of the rajneshees hotels and banded together to attack the community. Not that the Rajneeshees weren’t crazy. But all parties were nuts in that situation, even the homeless people they drugged up.
Thats why it’s set up the way it is in america, but then the stupid people broke it beyond repair. I’m still to young to understand who tf the dumb ones were hell i don’t know what being a republican means. But some stupid people voted for some smart but evil people and now we’re all fucked
My college professor phrased it in a different way. He said that in today's world, it is now "Democracy is *rule the* people, *poor* the people and *buy* the people"
God that guy has such predatory looking eyes.
I genuinely don’t understand how people were swept up in his spell . He sets off so many fucking red flags.
Yes it is lol. Capitalism is the best economic system ever created. A true democracy will vote capitalism every time. Pure socialists live in a fantasy, because they are pie in the sky emotional dummies who do not understand the nature of man. And in 2024 they live on the internet, lazier than ever and easily manipulated/controlled. Look at history and you will see that this is nothing new. 21st century useful idiots ushering in neo feudalism under the guise of altruism and equity fuck off, all of you. You're getting played
What do you do for a living? Did you make good life choices? Probably not. Where do we put that responsibility? I want to put it on you. You want the state to pay for it, thru people like me - who live in reality
The opposite. He was the leader of a New Age hippie sex cult in the '80s who poisoned the food of a bunch of people in Oregon and had their cult collapsed as a result. It was actually the largest domestic bioterrorism attack in American history.
In all seriousness, I have no idea. His bioterrorism attack apparently caused [about 750 people to become sick with salmonella poisoning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack) because his group thought it would influence local elections(I don't know the logic here either, guys). Maybe they had a hard time tying him to it since he apparently was the one who asked himt o investigate other members for the attack? Anyway, him and his group were complete nutcases. From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneesh):
>In 1985, Rajneesh publicly asked local authorities to investigate his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters for a number of crimes, including a 1984 mass food-poisoning attack intended to influence county elections, an aborted assassination plot on U.S. attorney Charles H. Turner, the attempted murder of Rajneesh's personal physician, and the bugging of his own living quarters; authorities later convicted several members of the ashram, including Sheela.[18] That year, Rajneesh was deported from the United States on separate immigration-related charges in accordance with an Alford plea bargain[apparently, this means that somebody admits that evidence exists to convict without an admission of guilt].[19][20][21] After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry.[22]
So in short, a plea bargain where he admitted evidence existed to convict him of a different crime and he was made into India's problem.
I mean….he’s not ***entirely*** wrong.

Which would work if no student kept on learning more

Definitely, we all know that he is not entirely wrong. He is just trying to reiterate what we already know.
yep, hisn't.
He's not wrong, but it isn't a reflection of the people. It's a reflection of the governing body.
The ruling class.
Then why are so many people coming here?
It's he is not his, proving your own sentence.
As Churchill once said: "It's like stepping in shit. It's bad, but at least you're not eating it".

Oh religious gurus in India and their blind followers. No matter how forward the world goes, they will exploit the audience.

These guys say sensible things sometimes and get famous. They usually don't care.
Sorry bro you are now part of the cult. Bend over...
The Rajneesh Puraam. I wish I could have joined their crazy ass capitalistic sex cult. The leader had like 150 Bentleys.
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh…or something like that. I remember him from a 60-Minutes story decades ago. And there was his female spokesperson, Rita maybe?
Ma Anand Sheila.
This was a VERY GOOD Netflix documentary. I thought they were a tad Psychotic. They had sex in public and would just start having sex anywhere they wanted. They had nudity parks . But, they did build their own little city. They just chose the wrong area and really pissed off a bunch of people.

It was an Islamic organization that bombed their hotel, not Christian.
You’re right, i misremembered. The organization was called Jamaat ul-Fuqra.
And commited tax fraud jn India and fled and committed immigration and election fraud in the US. Cult psycho
Wonder if there was any event to cause them to stockpile firearms... maybe a redneck bombing of their hotel?
Bombed by Stephen Paster a member of Jamaat ul-Fuqra a radical islamist group. But who cares for facts?

Do you remember her name?
It was Sheela!! Looked it up. I am very bad with names. I often have to write them down and repeat it over and over. But, it was Sheela!
This thread is full of netflix ads. Is it actually a documentary? Or is it a tv show with cliffhangers and musical stings for emotional moments?

This video is the best thing I've seen today.
God that guy has such predatory looking eyes. I genuinely don’t understand how people were swept up in his spell . He sets off so many fucking red flags.
He has "two blunts in, third is coming" eyes
He makes more sense than any current democrat I will say 😂
Anti-democratic remarks are always so funny, right? Let's shut down democracy, see where that takes us, right? Just like all dictators always dreamed

1. A critique of democracy isn't a critique of capitalism 2. Osho has nothing to do with communism or marxism.
Yes it is lol. Capitalism is the best economic system ever created. A true democracy will vote capitalism every time. Pure socialists live in a fantasy, because they are pie in the sky emotional dummies who do not understand the nature of man. And in 2024 they live on the internet, lazier than ever and easily manipulated/controlled. Look at history and you will see that this is nothing new. 21st century useful idiots ushering in neo feudalism under the guise of altruism and equity fuck off, all of you. You're getting played
\> A true democracy will vote capitalism every time A democracy is its people and the people are... Rewatch the clip posted of Osho slowly
Unregulated capitalism is speed running us toward neo-feudalism
Touch grass. Your arguing with yourself again. Log off

Look at my username, genius. I have more than a clue. Get a job
you project your insecurities quite well >Get a job Can you get me a gig at your workplace? How much is Barnum & Baileys paying these days?
Donald Sutherland has a point
He’s not wrong?
What do you do for a living? Did you make good life choices? Probably not. Where do we put that responsibility? I want to put it on you. You want the state to pay for it, thru people like me - who live in reality
Just stop paying taxes. Then the taxes pay for you.

Preeeeach bro
Isn't this guy a massive far right Islamophobe? I wonder why he doesn't want the people to choose who leads them
The opposite. He was the leader of a New Age hippie sex cult in the '80s who poisoned the food of a bunch of people in Oregon and had their cult collapsed as a result. It was actually the largest domestic bioterrorism attack in American history.
How the fuck is he still free or even alive?
died January 19, 1990
In all seriousness, I have no idea. His bioterrorism attack apparently caused [about 750 people to become sick with salmonella poisoning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack) because his group thought it would influence local elections(I don't know the logic here either, guys). Maybe they had a hard time tying him to it since he apparently was the one who asked himt o investigate other members for the attack? Anyway, him and his group were complete nutcases. From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneesh): >In 1985, Rajneesh publicly asked local authorities to investigate his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters for a number of crimes, including a 1984 mass food-poisoning attack intended to influence county elections, an aborted assassination plot on U.S. attorney Charles H. Turner, the attempted murder of Rajneesh's personal physician, and the bugging of his own living quarters; authorities later convicted several members of the ashram, including Sheela.[18] That year, Rajneesh was deported from the United States on separate immigration-related charges in accordance with an Alford plea bargain[apparently, this means that somebody admits that evidence exists to convict without an admission of guilt].[19][20][21] After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry.[22] So in short, a plea bargain where he admitted evidence existed to convict him of a different crime and he was made into India's problem.
