@Xonas Pitfall Sections is exactly what a casual conversation will not have.

The problem is that the more deluded one is, the more that delusion claims truth. Claiming truth is a big red flag unless you really know what you're doing. Musk does not know what he's doing in this domain. Musk is great at selfishly pushing business. Musk is terrible at truth and love.

Uncomfortable silence is my speciality

The point of podcasts is to open people's minds to Awakening. A few people will appreciate that something deep is being said. Most won't, but a few will. A few people will watch this podcast and eventually Awaken. This is especially needed in science and academic circles where people don't even know this possibility exists. Also, you guys like to see me handling objections and criticisms, which you don't get from my regular videos.

Yes

Memes celebrating psychedelics. Post 'em if you got 'em.

That is a good point. They are very openminded and still the conversation is challenging. But with most scientists this conversation would simply be impossible.

He has never responded to me. Having him ask deep questions would be even more challenging. The bigger the platform the more shallow the questions will be. That's why I prefer to look for smaller, more academic people.

Musk is too utilitarian to live those values. He does not understand the sacrfices necessary to embody truth, love, and so on. He does not understand how serious these values are and what it takes to actualize them. He thinks he can just use business-BS to attain them. That cannot work. But it feels good to his ego to believe he is living those values. He wants the glory of those values without the sacrifice.

@kavaris People are lost in survival. Including scientists. That's why caring about truth is the #1 issue. You will never understand reality without insanely caring about truth -- which nobody does. See, if these scientists actually cared about truth they would be calling me every day asking questions. But they don't have that attitude. It all boils down to attitude. Less than one in a million people has the right attitude for this work. There is nothing that can be done or said when the right attitude is absent.

Of course that requires 3 hours of explanation which we never got to.

Of course I don't expect them to change their worldview for me.

Of course. But you can't sit around waiting for that.

@OBEler Yes, I know exactly how it looks. That's how it is meant to look.

What? The quote font has always been the same. I have never changed font size on the blog.

What you do it is, approach many more girls. You should be approaching so many girls that you never even think about how a single approach went. When you are doing 100s of approaches, no one approach matters. Your problem is that you are doing way too few approaches in general.

Yes, if they are part of the videos you make. Obviously not your regular groceries but the special groceries you buy for making the video. These are just considered business expenses. You just deduct them from your profits. But if you have no profits then it's pointless.

That's not possible. Gaming involves multi-hour sessions. And that's fine. It is okay to spend a few weeks a year hardcore gaming. Just limit it to a few weeks per year, not 365. If you are very selective about what you play, then you shouldn't need more than a few weeks per year gaming since there aren't that many good new games each year. The problem is that gamers play shit compulsively just because they need something, anything, to play. A few times a year you can just get lost in 12 hours of gameplay. It's okay. It's like a vacation.

Yes, dance classes are a great way to meet girls. My ex was into Bachata. She kept inviting me but I never went. But if I went there on my own, I could have met her there.

I would explain all the methods to them. Psychedelics are part of that, but it's not limited to psychedelics. I'm also pretty sure they've done some kind of psychedelics. Maybe they don't want to admit it publicly. The key is telling them that the truths we are speaking about are not just trips, as that's too easy for a scientific mind to discount as hallucinations.

Yes, that's fine. Folks have done it in the past. Just don't start to organize official meetup groups.

Well, to be fair to her, I don't know what she knows. Perhaps she is a closet hippie. But of course, in my opinion, she is underestimating the depth of the stuff we were speaking of. Of course the ego-mind underestimates Reality/God/Truth/Love/Infinity. That's the whole problem with science. Scientists act like they are humble but in fact they are extremely arrogant when it comes to serious existential questions. That's what it means to be stuck in a paradigm. The paradigm cannot see its own limits. If she understood what I understand, she wouldn't be a scientist. So it's a Catch-22 situation. She can't admit to her entire worldview being wrong. No ego can admit that. Especially in public, but even in private it is too painful. Every scientist grossly underestimates Reality. They think they have Reality almost figured out.

That was the whole point of that post.

I think we can do another podcast with them in the future and go deeper into metaphysics, epistemology, science, and consciousness. Maybe next year. I will propose that to them after some time passes. I like talking with them. We just need to get into deeper questions. Hopefully I can build a nice long-term relationship with them, so we can cover many topics in the future.

Thanks! Thanks!
