      Falun Gong too.

          It's not the semen, it's the generalized idea of virtue. You gain or lose de in your spirit (housed in the brain) based on how altruistic your actions are. Or maybe de is stored in the balls, idk.

          Falun Dafa has a bunch of decent philosophical/spiritual concepts at its core; it'd be pretty valid if it didn't also have a lot of quackery and culty shit worked into it. Thanks Li Hongzhi for royally screwing up syncretism.

            This is your brain on Reddit.

            "Virtue as an individualist high score" is inherently liberal and generally bad.
