In certain narrow ways, yes. I am exceptionally gifted with intuition and when my brain is combined with psychedelics. Neither of these things can really be taught. You either got it or you don't.

In other words, you hold no position of wealth, power, or status

They are quite different. Reptilian brain is gonna drive you towards very base survival needs and cravings like food, sex, safety, fear, anger, greed, laziness, etc. Intuition is sorta free of all that if you can get yourself clear-minded and not under craving. The basic distinction is fear vs love.

Good job hunting giraffe

Yeah, but if it appeals to Oprah's audience it must already be shallow stuff. Sometimes there are rare exceptions and gems. I definitely has an anti-mainstream bias. Sometimes I backfires but I enjoy this particular bias. I has worked well for me overall. Actualized.org is too radical and offensive to be endorsed by anyone who wants to keep their job and status.

That future is my life today and it could be yours too

Every technology comes with pros and cons. There's rarely a free lunch. Social media is not going away, so get used to it. Everyone needs to learn how to use it responsibly and for good rather than devilry.

Oddly, caffeine has no effect on me. I get no boost from it, nor any addiction or withdrawal. Modafinil FTW!

Probably. But I meant what is actually meaningful from a human perspective, like if we started to classify them. You can think of these states like different planets in the galaxy that you could visit and explore.

This is why I generally don't like any mainstream teachings. The more mainstream they are, the shallower and more watered-down they must be. There is an inverse correlation between depth and popularity.

You have to be careful with such gross over-generalizations. But generally speaking progressives are more cognitively and morally developed. This does not make them anywhere close to perfect so they still make plenty of mistakes.

It's not a matter of money. Cenk isn't doing it for the money. He's a true believer in the Green crusade and cannot envision something beyond it. It's a paradigm lock. And I can't say I blame him. Cenk's role is needed. Someone has to fight the fucking MAGA devils and the corrupt neoliberals. In a sense, stage Yellow thinkers are not practical because they are too far head of everyone else. Cenk is at the right level to make significant social change. Yellow includes Green within it.

The dirty truth is that there are thousands of states and stages of woke consciousness, way more than any model describes, and they cannot be mapped in 1 or even 2 dimensions. There exist states of consciousness which sit completely outside and beyond the 10 Ox pics. And virtually no human knows or understands these rare states. The truth is that we don't have any accurate maps or models of consciousness yet. The maps available today are like a 1st grade kid's crayon drawing of the Earth.

The vast majority of spiritual teachers are coasting on innate spiritual talent that they were born with thanks to the right genetics and so forth. Of course they never tell their students this because it undermines the grift. I don't really have any problem with Tolle. I just find his teachings too weak-sauce and bland. But if you like it, doesn't bother me. There are many different styles of spiritual teaching and they will not all appeal to everyone. If Tolle's teachings really worked then millions of people would be enlightened. And of course that's not the case.

No It's a function of ego.

Anything is possible. I'm just talking about what is likely. But that's the whole problem. He is so immersed in fighting the progressive crusade that he would not surrender it in order to take time off to learn about radical new things. Similar problem with Jordan Peterson or Sam Harris. These people are so invested in their careers that they aren't able to reach higher because their careers would get jeopardized. The hardest pill for Cenk to swallow would be surrendering the progressive crusade. I highly doubt he's willing to do that. I'd say Weinstein is definitely Yellow. He just sometimes reacts to things from a personal, wounded place. He has some shadow to integrate and some personal biases to transcend. But I consider him Yellow.

It would be almost impossible for him now because he's all-in with TYT. The TYT crew and fanbase would eat him alive. They would see it as a betrayal and caving to centrism.

Screws are generally okay. A screw is usually titanium. It's really fillings that are the problem. Although ideally you would replace your metal crowns with all-ceramic ones. But this is not high priority.

Your motivations are backwards. You are asking how you can be a bigger leech. What you should be asking is how you can provide massive value to the world. That is the proper way to get rich. This is counter-intuitive. Your selfishness will backfire on you. It would be wiser to solve your situation through selflessness. I am not saying crypto is bad, I am saying your selfish mindset will keep you poor. So if you really wish to be rich, start thinking seriously about reversing your mindset before it is too late. Notice how you want something for nothing. This is sure way to failure. If I did business this way, I would be broke.

God is infinite creativity. So the closer to God you get...

@Hello from Russia Nukes can barely be built and managed by large countries the size of Iran. No hippie village can build, maintain, or regulate nukes. Nor iPhones. @aurum I think you have a good point that the future will require both scaling up and down. But on the issue of agriculture I think that will be scaled up even more, not down. I don't buy the idea that the Earth is running out of resources. I think the Earth can sustain 100+ billion people. We just need to use the resources wiser. There is no reason why we can't do sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture at mass scale. It's just that capitalism doesn't incentivize such things. Yet.

Cenk is running up against the limits of stage Green.

You can search specific sites via google like so: site:actualized.org/insights/ xxxxxxx Replace xxxxxx with your search term. You're not gonna create a better search than google's. Just learn to use it properly.

@aurum I'm saying that the solutions these eco-villages test and create are not solutions that actually address our problems as they exist at the global level. And the village level will never work at the global level. What I'm saying is, ceating one of these cool eco-villages is actually a cop out from solving the really big problems. The world is not going to scale down, it's going to scale up. These villages assume the world will scale down to their level. But a group of villages cannot build iPhones or manage nukes.

@Hardkill Cenk's heart is in the right place but he's a bit too full of himself and blind to a higher reality.
