Joe Rogan will be blowing up my phone.

This should be Trump's official portrait, to replace the awful baby-face one. Just imagine

Tier 2 must look like this:

I think to qualify as an epistemic scoundrel one has to deal in some way in creating knowledge-like content. An epistemic scoundrel is one who pisses in the epistemic ecosystem more so that just lies to cover up a crime. So Elon Musk is an epistemic scoundrel because he pollutes the information ecology through Twitter on a large scale, spreading misinformation and right-wing propaganda. FoxNews is the shining beacon of epistemic scoundrelry. This is an important clarification. I'm glad we sorted it out. Epistemic scoundrels create careers out of poisoning the information ecology! -- that's the proper definition. They profiteer off of poisoning minds. It's a special category of evil. Ho-ho! Epistemic evil! What a concept! This just hit me! I just invented Epistemic Evil

We could use that logic to rationalize a Marxist revolution: Behead the rich! Out of chaos will come order! Clever bit of Epistemic Scoundrelry

@Terell Kirby I dunno. Should an outright fraud/criminal be called an epistemic scoundrel? Hmmmm....

Frankly I'm amazed at how much depth each stage has. I keep dipping back into Orange and Green and Yellow and learn more about myself and the mind. Each color is like its own wellspring. You gotta stop worrying which stage you're at and just grab insights and lessons from the whole Spiral whenever you can. It's like a color palette and you are Picasso.

@Carl-Richard Sure, that's a trap. But then again, people gotta start somewhere. At least they know what to work towards. That's why it takes a decade.

That's animal cruelty.

@r0ckyreed If you get a cattail you can use it to filter water like a caveman

That's too vulgar. Even pervert is pretty insulting. I want a nice memeable term. Epistemic Scoundrel has a nice aristocratic ring to it.

You gotta watch his channel for the full context. He's a master at butchering basic history. I have an old blog post about it.

Will be cheaper if you start with a group of psychotic baboons

Same thing. I like the sound of both. Hard to decide which sounds better.

This dude is top tier:

Destiny debates a lot of epistemic scoundrels. You can mine Destiny's debates for gold.

Dave Rubin is the living embodiment of why we need epistemic regulations. Dave Rubin, the online influencer equivalent of an unlicensed electrician.

@UnbornTao Thanks

But how do you live life that way?? You'd have to be like Bubble Boy. How do you expect a building to operate? Smells are part of the world. I believe that's how it works for you. But I think your situation is exceptionally unique and not applicable to most schizophrenics. But hey, if you found the cure to schizophrenia, by all means, make it your life purpose to push that up the culture and make a lot of money and fame for yourself along the way.

@Majed But are you able to understand and integral all them without getting hung up on bad parts?

King Scoundrel

@UnbornTao Let this go please. Let him have his view.

They are mostly used to profit off people with ADHD. You could certainly use them to teach meditation if you combine with the TAGSync protocol and the right software and if you know what you're doing.

Because it probably won't help them much. You don't think mental wards are clean?
