Animals are survival machines. They don't know anything about truth. No other possibility exists for them. But you are not an animal. Yes, all finite beings are limited. A finite being cannot be perfectly God-like. But also that is not needed. The point is that humans can become more God-like through truth-seeking. Some degree of hypocrisy is acceptable in mortals. Truth IS the main issue. You're still not understanding how deep the connection between Truth and Good goes. Contemplate the connection deeper. Good is not a social structure. Good is Truth itself.

There are many kinds of therapists. You can find more conscious and even spiritual therapists and coaches. Just research around more. I do not cover that. You can easily find that on other psychedelic forums. My pleasure. That could certainly work if you do it with serious intention and consistency. Mushrooms are very good for therapeutic work. Just take them in low doses. Much cheaper than therapy.

Of course, humans who know Truth is the rarest thing. That's why they are regarded as saints and mystics. But in practice Awakening is not enough to rid oneself of all corruption. That is a superhuman feat.

Of course. The sage/saint is supposed to be the only one above corruption because he lives a life of truth. Of course even sages are corrupt in practice, just relatively less so. I am still corrupt, but much less so than most people would be in my position.

Pretty much. That explains the current state of mankind. That's the truth.

@Xonas Pitfall You need to contemplate more deeply the relationship between truth and goodness, and falsehood and evil. Contemplate!

One can have a truthful desire to abuse a child, however, if one cared about truth, one would also realize that this is incoherent, a double-standard, because one would not want to be abused in kind. The desire to abuse others is incompatible with a commitment to truth, because then you have to lie about the abuse, try to hide it. Caring about truth leads you out of these problems. For example, a truth-loving person would never become a con-artist or groomer or CIA agent in the first place. You can't become Jeffery Epstein if you care about truth. Everything he did was based on lies.

It doesn't need to say that. That's not the issue. The issue is that if you don't care about truth you are corrupt. You are making this about shoulds. Caring for truth is not a should. You can be a rapist if you want. But you are corrupt.

You are not getting what I said about truth being the highest value. Those elites do not care about truth. Of course that is true. They are truly corrupt because they care about the wrong things. Rewatch my video: Why Truth Is The Highest Value. You still haven't learned that lesson.

Not so fast. Because people will just start believing whatever the AI says. People will stop thinking, which is irresponsible. It is already happening. Students who use AI for school end up not knowing how to think. It is an epistemic disaster. AI reduces independent contemplation. That's why I barely use it.

Snorting freebase will hurt a lot. It's also not good for your nose. Plugging freebase is much easier.

@PolyPeter Upload limits here are very low. You need to upload to file sharing sites. This forum is not a file sharing service. We have limited server disk space.

Taking that attitude is epistemically irresponsible. There are many ways to posture as epistemically responsible when one actually isn't.

No, unless you are mindlessly believing its answers.

@Joshe AI can be used responsibly, but mostly it won't be, because the people using it never cared about truth in the first place. Epistemically irresponsible people will use AI to double-down on their biases because they don't know any better.
