  2. Yet it is conceptualized. Otherwise there would be no recognition that "other" is not. You would simply reside in oneness, infinity, union. Other isn't known to you. So it cannot be denied.
  3. I think science has enough open-mindedness. Standards are rigor are not the enemy of open-mindedness. They are necessary to keep the balance. The enemy is sloppiness. I agree. These are great fixes. Many scientists are lacking in these areas because of hyper-specialisation and department segregation. I think epistemology and science should be in parallel. How? What should change? I agree. Huge thumbs up 👍🏻
  4. Its an awakening. It's not something you can conceptualize.

  6. Me: "The outcome is comparable because X and Y" You: "No it isn't" Me: "Why" You: "Because it isn't, just saying it is doesn't mean it is" ===== That you say I am wrong, doesn't mean I am wrong. You need to actually address my argument: X: Billions of years of evolution encodes massive amounts of data into a human brain. This is comparable to LLM training on billions of rows of data. Y: LLMs learn a new programming language through examples, practice and documentation. This is comparable to humans learning a new programming language through examples, practice and documentation. I can think of plenty of ways to poke holes in my own argument here, it has flaws. But it's not worth my time if you're just going to state I'm wrong without engaging with what I'm saying at all.
  7. Some things are so obvious that you have to be a scientist/rationalist to not see them. You tell them: look at your hand dude! Look at a cat! Can't you see the infinite intelligence of it? Can't you see that such a cool thing cannot happen out of randomness and idk.. natural selection bullshit? Your hand, your cat, is your best poof that you are so fuckiing wrong about reality. No need for double blind studies and scientific "proof". Your FKING hand is the best proof. Had a discussion with two of such people yesterday. You corner them with these arguments and then they back off and say: well we don't actually know what is behind all this intelligence. Aha! Then why the fuck you got so triggered when I raised this ball? Maybe because I shook you reality a bit, maybe I made you doubt your world. "Science will figure this out in the future". Your sure? How? What are you going to measure? What variables are you going to isolate? In don't even need to change my consciousness state and experience something else in order to see how wrong they are. I can logically prove to myself from this normal state how wrong they are.

    @Raze "I don't know" , is a good answer 🫶
  10. I don’t know, both options seem to have a big downside for me. If a woman loved me but didn’t respect me I’d be unmasculine seeing her respect other guys more than me. If she respected me but didn’t love me I’d resent that she likes what I do not who I am. It also depends on the type of relationship. Friend, family, short term partner, long term partner.
  11. 1. That’s because they have status, social proof, and emotional connections. Also manipulation. 2. Sure, but the ones that do respect them don’t automatically want to sleep with them out of respect. Another example would be a professor or boss who they respect as an educator or colleague 3. Chasing validation and wanting fun isn’t the same as respect. If you see a girl who you don’t respect for whatever reason, like you think they’re unethical, unreliable, but she’s super hot and fun, you may still sleep with her, even if you wouldn’t many guys would, why would women be different?
  12. Thank you so much, everyone! I have time off today to relax a bit, I will go through what eas recommended to me here and see if I find something that resonates!!
  13. Ah yes, SinsTV. He was one of my students. Good to see he has gone on to use my techniques for the good of mankind <.< >.>
  14. The case for slavery is that free labor is practical and humans are tribal. Everything else is a justification. People still yearn for free labor whenever they can get it, which is why companies make poor third worlders work their sweatshops. They are practically slaves by virtue of how profoundly unequal leverage each party has over the other. Also, learn to space your shit.

    Post #41 The reason why religions stress virtuous living is because it aids in understanding and realizing the Self. Judging and lying is antagonistic to understand reality.

    How would you answer the question yourself though?
  20. This doesn't appear to me to be building a case for slavery It reads as an explanatory outline of why slavery and other forms of oppression arose historically. Maybe the closest thing to a claim may be: But how do you know this was a necessary process to move through to progress human development? The problem is that the necessity claim is counterfactual. To really establish this claim, you would need to show that no alternative path to similar levels of development was possible.

    1. Have you heard of cult leaders? 2. Most women do not respect sages. It takes real wisdom and maturity to respect them. 3. Oh, women do definitely respect degenerate club promoters, especially when they are in their peak youthful years (peak immaturity). They run after their validation like drug addicts.
  22. The case for slavery: ‎It's hard for us to understand slavery, dictatorships, fascism, racism... Because we operate from a humanist and individual sovereignty paradigm. However if you look close at it in nature, this paradigm is never found other than recently in human culture. Which makes it a rather human invention rather than just a state of facts. Animals don't have this paradigm, they operate based on instincts, and their instincts doesn't dictate to them to respect individual sovereignty, but to do whatever is best for their survival. And in a sense they don't have another choice. However in human culture we consider stuff like genocide and slavery, dictatorships, fascism, racism, tribalism... To be evil and wrong. Which is silly in the grand scheme of things. All of what we call today evil, were product of difficult survival conditions, which led to what we might view today as madness or barbarism. However these are important tools in collective human development, and to understand something and exhausted you have to experience and go through it. Plus many times, because of lack of scientific and technological advancement, life was way more cruel and difficult. Today we have the luxuries of modern medicine, technology... But those have not existed for most of human history. People suffered excruciating pain through diseases that are easily cured today. The most simple tasks of today were as difficult as life gets back then. When you live in that environment of cruelty, torture, and difficulty, just being the state of nature. You have way less calms about enslaving, torturing and genociding others, just because of how widespread poverty, famine, cruelty, torture, difficulty... Are in the state of nature of your environment that you're trying to survive in.
  23. I feel tremendous compassion for YOU. You are a good egg; I see your journal, your doubt, your struggle. You are in the dark like I was in the dark. Grace turned on the light. Now it's my nature to shine light. You are part of me and I can't be myself without you. I heal you in God's name. You don't have to accept for I heal your mind not your body. Whenever you think of me, the light can be seen and you can join me forever. It is only a matter of time. You can't stay in hell forever. Only love is real. I love you dear man.
  24. If you wanna break down solipsism come to my thread. We can have an open dialogue.
  25. Still in denial eh. Athiest.
  26. Because the outcome is not the same. That you say it is, doesn't mean it is.
