And for those gone through Desteni having been told to ignore me like all destonions did when I really needed an ear. Or for those having gone through a cult on their grit or maybe just skimmed it... some words. Self-honest, tell me about it. You know, have I gone through that.

How come I joined Desteni if I am so critical about it now? This is something that can maybe invite you to understand how someone joins a cult through me. It is different for others maybe. Before desteni I had a lot of experiences already I was 25. I didn’t feel lonely or depressed or anything like that. However I was a fan of things like the x-files and anything that is on the fringe.

And i am certain that parents agree that putting the burden on a child of having to save the child/being the new generation to save the world or whatever is pretty much the most inhumane thing possible you can do.

Dear mister C imo In any job you can be honorable and happy including MC Donald's. Even that A-hole mister B knew that... and besides, working towards some genius generation is ignoring billions of hardworking fine people that are apparently not good enough?
