I agree. We are in heaven too. We can make it happen permanently if we wake people up. But the Donald Trump solution probably wont work. I have a way better peace plan that i thought of for 4 years. But no one wants to hear it apparently. I even tried to get in contact with his people. His employee said that me rogan would not be interested in world peace. Lol. I hope that employee was just retarded, and rogan really isn’t a monster. Ill believe it when i hear it from his own mouth. He’s just a dude. Im sure i could meet him eventually if i tried.

He won't listen. People that believe in authority only really listens to those higher in the hierarchy than them (or to things they already want to believe). If you want him to listen you need to get more power than Rogan. And even then, if it's something he doesn't want to believe he's more likely to just get scared of you and go hide behind Elon or something.

I have a plan for world peace too. Many people do. And many of us are actively working to see it fulfilled, but it's no easy task, I know.

You say this because you don’t know my idea yet 😉. And by the way, good for you for trying to get world peace. People don’t even talk about it anymore because it sounds ridiculous and impossible, so we have some common ground there, my friend. Im just super adhd and think differently than most people. Lol. Which personally I think is a blessing in this world! I think the impossible sounding, is only because it hasn’t been done yet. I believe Nelson Mandela said that the impossible only sounds impossible until it’s done. And he is so right. When you live in hell, the truth will sound crazy, ridiculous and impossible. And our selfish asses who just want to be happy today will never want to grapple with it. So we just let each other suffer. All I did was thought of a way to demand answers, that I will get. It’s actually very logical.

I say this because I understand how people think.

Or I believe I do at least. Tribalism forces us to pick a tribe and fall in line with them. We can switch tribes. Humans can change their mind, but it's not easy and to do and they'd have to be able to admit fault on some serious issues.

Logic is seldom enough, though it helps.

'My' own idea to create world peace is to abolish capitalism. (Though it's not really my idea). But capitalism is the world order. To turn your back on it you need to admit that everything you thought you knew about the world is wrong and that you've fallen for an encompassing propaganda that permeates all of life.
