Of course. But that is beside the point. Ambition is existentially an illusion.

It is pure conversational. Pretty casual. Like a private convo between friends. It was not like an interview.

The conversation has been recorded. It was GOOD! Should be released in about a month. It's out of my hands now.

I don't know. Depends on who you are. Certainly if it happened you would run to the doctor for drugs.

Seems

You are being too flippant about how much culture and survival forces shape people's understanding of Reality. If you lived in the Middle East 1500 years ago, you would in for a rude awakening indeed. These people were hardly more developed than cavemen. And you want them to give you some kind of pure spiritual textbook that can compete with today's work? The only reason anyone knows about Ramana is because of internet and such. Nobody would know him 1500 years ago. Mohammad is known because he started a kingdom through conquest. That is how you got known back them. Not for being a hippie.

Yes! Yes! Of course. Ambition is rare. Most people have none and live like conformist zombies. However, there is a next-level mindfuck here for you. It comes when you eventually realize that these mediocre people were right. Ambition is an illusion. All your striving, and in the end you will never achieve more than just sitting and being, which you could have done from day one. Ambition is awesome, but also a giant illusion at the end of road. Look at Elon Musk. He his horny to go to Mars. But eventually he will discover it is a completely hollow goal. There is nothing to do on Mars once you are there. It is no better than scrolling through TikTok. Except TiKTok doesn't have you working yourself to death for an empty goal.

Of course

No more radical than your morning coffee existing.

It is enviable until one understands the costs. Then, no thank you.

Your mind will not remember things it does not need. Be careful trying to memorize a bunch of trival knowledge. Your mind is designed to remember what is practical to it.

He says a lot of stuff is required which isn't. Yoga is full of dogma.

Those people don't do actual science. You have to be careful. There are many people who associate themselves with science but don't do one bit of it. Like Sam Harris. He does not do science. The real scientists are nameless and faceless slaves deep in the coal mines. The faces you know are mostly bullshitters and talkers -- exactly the extrovert types who love to take credit for everything.

I dispute this. You are cherrypicking heavily. Calling Huberman a scientist is a stretch. He is a celebrity influencer. STEM guys struggle to get laid, struggle with socializing -- because they are borderline autistic. Of course some are sociable, like Richard Feynman. Hard science and socializing don't mix.

Of course. So what? Your spatial coordinates also limit what is possible to happen. If you were at spatial coordinate (5,343,480,034,802, 3,303,085,112,831, 537,983,132,445,830) you might see a unicorn. But since you aren't you won't.
