😂 yes it's literally pigs blood jellofied. With a little bit of onions and seasoning it's honestly addictive. But nowadays I just buy a liter of pig's blood, boil it for 10 minutes, and drink 🧛 technically that's still vegan in the vampire culture

We havent interacted much on this forum yet, but I dont like comments like this. It puts the mentioned people (us) in a bad position, doesnt matter whether I interpret your comment in a sarcastic or a non-sarcastic way and doesnt matter whether I reply or dont reply. 1) If I interpret it in a sarcastic way and if I reply to it with that interpretation in mind, then its successful bait, 2) if I dont reply, then it might come off as if I would agree with the underlying premise, and 3) if I go with a non-sarcastic interpretation and try to explain myself why I disagree with the underlying premise, then it might come off as dishonest virtue-signaling (since you already elevated us in the sky and now I need to fight against your characterization regarding that and also against the characterization that 'other people who disagree with us perhaps have lower intelligence compared to us to the point where their behavior disturbs us'). So it creates unnecessary tension between people and also warrants a response from the mentioned people, where they need to explain themselves for things they havent said or implied. ---- I will go with the non-sarcastic interpretation. Firstly, my honest answer to that is that I dont think that im more intelligent than other people here. You can pick IQ , you can pick spiral dynamics or other cognitive complexity chart or metric - it doesnt matter, I dont think that I will score higher than most people on this forum. Secondly, I dont think that disagreements in general (on most topics) are explained by intelligence difference related factors. Experts, high IQ people with high cognitive complexity can always disagree with each other (we see this all the time) and I think that in the vast majority of the cases disagreements are explained by non-intelligence difference related factors (And I think that applies in this situation as well).

MP3 is practically superior to vinyl, but basing the value on practicality is only one dimension. Even when there's no sound quality difference, Both are different experiences, so the value is in the experience. Phenomenal state, what's valuable is the feel, the qualia of the vinyl experience. The warmth, the ritual-feeling. This is hedonic, value = quality of conscious state. What's valuable is the quality of the lived experience itself, not the external output. All of nostalgia falls into this category, why play on a game boy when we can on a emulator?

The argument is structured as: "Premise A is true, therefore conclusion B follows." But in using the word "therefore," they are demanding that you accept a necessary, non-arbitrary link between their premises and their conclusion. If causation isn't real, "therefore" becomes a meaningless word. By trying to prove that causation is fake, they are relying on the reality of causation to make their case. They cannot escape the grammar of causality, because grammar is causality encoded in language. Also, logic itself is a practical application of causation. Causation is in the DNA of logic.

A metapoint that I get from brilliant books beyond the insights is seeing how a genius mind works and thinks. I'm very curious to get that view into your mind. As side advice from friends that have written books is that when finished, the process of reviewing (even if just by yourself) may lead to some deep changes and that frustrates some writers because they thought reviewing would be much quicker, but it's not usually the case. So when you finish let the book and your mind breathe and know that you enter into the second phase of reviewing and it takes time, moreso with such long books.

Of course. It will change how you see everything. But if you already seen all my videos, you know much of this information already.

I know right, I´m in your head right now

Is it any worth getting if your in your 20s? Even just for pleasure reading?

What we do in this life echoes in eternity. It is spiritual poverty to say nothing matters. And it is especially disgusting to talk like that to a child who is not ready.

Very well said. Life has no needs. Needs appear on demand for them, so who exactly makes those demands, is the artificial sense of “ me” which appear as needy in a needless life. So the who, needless to say, is no one in particular, except in this artificial conception. -
There are some religious people who read self help books but those are people who are further in their development and are creeping todays SD orange.
-
Self-help is not just Orange self-help. Christianity and Islam teaches many self-help-like lessons. Of course it is not Orange in flavor. Although even Christian prosperty gospel exists for the Orange-minded Christians.

Then they should love my book.

Of course that is not what I mean when I say logic. My notion of logic is not about mechanical rule-following but the logic of how your mind flows and comprehends things. My notion of logic is rich, qualitative, and subjective, not just a machine crunching numbers.

The real guru is life itself as seen through a mirror. . Look at the mirror, it’s the only true teacher, that’s if you dare to. -
Religion is not self help, because self authoring hasn´t come online at SD blue. Self authoring comes online at SD orange for the first time. The function of religion (SD blue) is to create a container for behavior, discipline and a community. Someone has succesfully shifted from red to blue when the person goes from I centric to we centric so somebody who just cares about himself starts caring about the group he belongs to which can be islam-christianity or whatever. The first time self authoring comes online is at SD orange. People before that just don´t care. They are on some other shit.

War is a natural activity which is the normal functioning cycle of an entropic universe. Non-violence is violence. It’s happening everywhere. There’s no life without death and destruction. All natural physical bodies atrophy. It’s the nature of the natural. -
No, I think your posts are high quality and I dont think that you will take an easy route. I did not mean to imply that you will create a low quality post. You are a highly educated and well read guy and you also consume content outside of academia. I think you will provide a deep, thought provoking post about it.

I moved in Canada around 4 years ago and ever since I did that, I was trying a lot of new psychedelics (LSD, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT & Mescaline). Before Canada I had only been on 15-20 mushroom trips and now, 4 years later, I reached 100+ trips with total of 30ish breakthroughs. In November of last years, it became very clear to me that I had developed addiction to psychedelics (mostly to 5MeO-DMT) and that I became a bit mentally unstable, therefore, I stopped tripping completely and started avoiding spirituality because I wanted to ground myself. I felt very ambivalent about psychedelics & spirituality because on the one hand, I wanted to reach the awakening but on the other hand, every time I would break-trough I would realize that everything was and is completely fine, and the reason I am living this life is because I had chosen to do so. But still, I was trying to push myself to prove myself wrong, to prove that I actually want to awaken and the one in me who doesn’t want is ego. But every break-through I had on 5MeO would always lead to the same result. That’s why I finally stopped tripping. Recently, I realized that my mind and psyche have become more stable so this time I made a decision to work on my meditation skills, I had never meditated more than a month or two . Also, all my meditation experience was acquired before psychedelics and didn’t give me anything. A few days ago, I decided to give meditation another shot. After having breakfast one day, I set up a timer for 20 minutes and just sit on my couch in complete silence. In another recent post I had mentioned that although I stopped any spiritual work, my state of consciousness has been going up on it’s own for unknown reasons. Anyways, as I was sitting maybe 10-15 minutes into the mediation session, I realized that thoughts in my mind are not as strong anymore and that I can actually just stop thinking for a while. Also, after that many trips on psychedelics I have developed enough reference experience to be able to understand what being is. And the point of meditation isn’t concentrating on breathing or energy fields. It is simple as that – just being. Being unfortunately can’t be described because any description of being is partial and will trigger a lot of personal assumptions about it that consist of the ideas you heard or read and eventually misunderstood. Unless, you had multiple direct experiences. I’ve been mediating just the last few days but I can reach levels of Being in 15 minutes that I couldn’t do in hours when meditating before. If you want to be good at meditation do psychedelics but wisely. The truth is that you need to do both - meditation and psychedelics.

On the quantum level there is no causation like in this 3d reality where we are in right now. Both paradigms fit into each other but it is too deep to explain right now.

My understanding is that the disagreement between a realist and antirealist regarding causation is not about whether you can observe regularities or not. The disagreement is about the metaphysics related to what is needed to explain those regularities and whether one needs to posit an objective entity called "causation" that is a feature of the world. A Humean would say something like : "We observe that stepping on dogs is regularly followed by pain behavior and yelping. We do not observe any further entity, relation, power, or necessary connection called "causation" that binds the events together. Therefore we are not justified in positing one"

@zurew That would be intellectually lazy on my part so you don't have to worry about it. @Leo Gura Side note, THE most spiritual people I have met (visions, psychedelics, meditation, maturity, etc), by far, are all vocationally scientific (Math PhD, MD/PhD and History PhD). Could be a selection bias, but also, does ring true since we are the "Mage" class after all.

Thoughts simulate a reality that’s not actually there in reality.
