Thanks mate.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

Haha. I didn't tell them that. I am explaining to you the challenges of doing deeper conversations.

I think it depends on how much pushback their audience gives them. The issue is, even though them two are openminded, their audience will whine in their ear to not talk to non-scientists. There is always pressure on them to create an echochamber and not seriously challenge their audience. I don't know how well they will withstand that pressure. We shall see. The more they talk to me the more threatening it will get for them. Until their entire world collapses.

I don't know what is real anymore.

You need to pay attention to feedback and what works and what fails. It is like playing with a cat. If she bites you, then you don't do that thing any more.

Take the Narcissism Personality Inventory here: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/NPI/ Post your scores below. I scored 13/40 Average US adult scores 15.3/40 Average US celebrity scores 17.8/40 Higher score = bigger narcissist

Yes, of course. Infinity.

You can't use that to judge his degree of Awakening. Just because he doesn't describe it as deeply as me doesn't mean anything. Yoga is not about describing Awakenings, it is about getting you there. Yes, he is less intellectual, but that doesn't mean less deep. Many Awakened people prefer not to waste time describing it. That is a matter of taste and style.

I've had all the above many times. So YES to all. There are many ways to access it.

Simple can still be deep. It is hard to calculate the combinatorial explosion in chess. But it is still simple, I would say. The human mind just can't handle so many combinations easily. Chess is a fine game. But I do feel it is overhyped. Obviously that's just my taste.

It is certainly possible to have profound Awakenings inside your sleep/dreams. I've had such deep Awakening in sleep that is beyond communication or any human Buddhist nonsense.

I would screen for DMT heads. And I have. If a girl likes DMT, she's a keeper.

That's no problem. Ask the question anyway to screen for the right girl. When she asks where are the crack pipes, you tell her, "Oh, we don't sell crack pipes. I was just trying to figure out which girl's digits are worth getting."

Peacocking works

Time is relative.

Gotta show folk that God ain't no vanilla biscuit.

Is that some kind of Zelda bokoblin?

I don't like quick chess. I think slow and careful, not like a squirrel on meth.

It is most accurate to state that INTPs are the basest.

Because playing real people brings ego into it, which I dislike. And real people means waiting for them to make moves which takes a long time.

Musk is not wrong. Chess is insanely hard to master at a competitive level, but it is simplistic and frankly boring for a more creative mind. After a while you get the gist of chess and all chess games become the same except for minutia. Chess is way over-rated as a game, similar to classical music. Classical music is technically good but it is so boring in the grand scheme of things. You have to be insane to invest your whole life playing chess. Chess being simplistic doesn't mean being worldclass at it is easy. It's just tedious to do it. Any sane mind must quickly ask itself, But why??

I am very mindful that people would love to kill me.
