Q. I don't feel anything at all when I try to do Existential Kink. What's going on? A. You might need to relax more before attempting the Existential Kink practice. Try taking a hot bath and taking some deep belly breaths to help you become more present in your body; then try the Existential Kink meditation again.
Existential Kink
Carolyn Elliott
One standard conservative argument against antipoverty policies is their cost: taxes burden the affluent and, by reducing their incentive to work, lower overall economic output. But if one goal of the policy is to bolster monogamy, then making the affluent less affluent is a welcome side effect. Monogamy is threatened not just by poverty in an absolute sense but also by the relative wealth of the wealthy.
The Moral Animal
Robert Wright
No event justifies a negative feeling. There is no situation in the world that justifies a negative feeling. Life is easy; life is delightful. It’s only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, and your cravings. That’s what all our mystics have been crying themselves hoarse to tell us. But nobody listens. The negative feeling is in you, not reality. It comes from your programming. The first thing you need to do is get in touch with negative feelings that you’re not even aware of.
Stop Fixing Yourself
