Be careful jumping to such conclusions. I have a unique personality but I am not neurodivergent. I am quite ordinary in many respects.

Logically, only one thing can exist and that thing must be infinite. Any infinite thing is One by definition and has no other. Existence is Infinity. Infinity is conscious.

Such people do not watch my videos. They are busy running their careers. It's not about content, it's about business.

My point is more ordinary: if you idolize him you will not critically question his teachings and get stuck in any limits he has. You have to really question and scrutinize what he says. You can't assume it is true.

Do a month of physical game only and your problem will go away.

@Nemra Cheers!

You are being too simplistic and glib. Infinity is Love. If you don't understand that, what have you understood?

@Magnanimous Breathe in a way that you are not running out of breath. Try taking 1 normal breath between each pranayama.

Both. Mostly I concentrate, unless it's a very slow game like No Mans Sky.

@Natasha Tori Maru How do you do PC gaming?? You need a PC gaming setup regardless of emulators. There are too many good games on PC to skip out on it.

He is not above perspective. Be careful idolizing him. It will limit you if you take him too seriously.

Of course controller. Xbox controller is designed to work on PC by default. Plug and play. Yuzu emulator lets you customize any controller and any buttons. It's 100% customizable. You just need to design your couch situation to work with your PC. Or get a comfy PC chair.

I don't claim to be at his level. But plenty of things he says are false. It took me a lot of work to figure that out. He is both very advanced but also too insulated from other perspectives on spirituality, as if only his view is the only one.

They have no intellectual understanding of what intelligence is or how it is made. They are just brute forcing stuff, which will not be enough. There needs to be an actual understanding of what intelligence is. It is sort of like trying to build a nuclear bomb just by blowing up more and more TNT. That's their current method. So I don't buy that it will work. They have convinced themselves that if they just blow up enough TNT they will succeed. I say no.

That's the big unknown. We just don't know where AI will top out. There is a chance they will stumble like an idiot into something life-changing. They don't know what they are doing. They're just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Something epic could stick some day if they throw a trillion dollars at the wall.

@UnbornTao It's an interesting problem. How do you have a conversation with people who are very advanced in their consciousness? It becomes hard to have conversations with them. Myself included. It's also hard to have conversations with teachers because they are always in teacher mode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am not interviewing people. I tried that and it's not for me. Also, I find talking to Ralston futile because he does not want to have a conversation, he just wants to dictate his view. He is not open to an actual conversation about reality. It's his way or no way. If you disagree with him, he is not going to entertain it. To me this is not interesting and it defeats the purpose of conversation.

No

@Sincerity Cool thread. I've posted quite a few over the years on the blog.

The warrior and the rogue.

Sure. If he responds. Sure. I should contact him. He never responded to me. It's always a matter of whether people respond. I will try to contact a bunch of people this year and we'll see who responds.

I am doing research for a new episode about how to avoid scammers, cheaters, exploiters, con-artists, etc. I would like to hear your stories about how you were conned or swindled in life. It could be financial, business, medical, relationship, etc. Could be something major or minor. Please keep your story concise. We don't need your entire life story. Also share what lesson you learned from this incident. And what is it about you that made you fall prey to this con?

Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Yellow thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Yellow. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Yellow thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Yellow. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list. Stage Yellow Values: Nuance & complexity Openmindedness Perspective Novel concepts & POVs Generating fresh insights Understanding Systems thinking Nonlinear dynamics Sustainability, long time frames Going meta Big picture vs technical analysis Holistic analysis Synthesis Connecting the dots Penetrating to the core of an issue Identifying & solving root problems A multi-disciplinary approach Mixing hard & soft sciences Creativity, outside-the-box solutions Ecology Responsible ways of being Studying models Spiral Dynamics Natural hierarchies Education, knowledge, research, reading Reading lots of diverse books Clean content, concentrated information Life-long learning Expertise, competence, experience Context, learning from history Developing skills to become an instrument for the greater whole Independent thinking Neutrality: Being objective/impartial Designing solutions for the entire Spiral Meeting people where they are at Building bridges Social engineering Ecological designs Reducing the suffering of living systems Pulling ideas from many sources Combining different ideas, models, theories Left-brained Vision & purpose, being a visionary Requisite variety, mental flexibility Self-actualization Paradox Uncertainty Responsibility, independence, autonomy Being a lone-wolf Stage Yellow Examples: Abraham Maslow, Eben Pagan, Fritjof Capra, Carl Sagan, quantum mechanics, fathers of quantum mechanics, David Bohm, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrodinger, Arthur Eddington, Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson, John Archibald Wheeler, Joseph Campbell, Erich Fromm, Clare Graves, Don Beck, Spiral Dynamics, Ilya Prigogine, chaos theory, cybernetics, biomimetics, NLP, Alfred Korzybski, the leading edge of academia, futurists, StarTrek humans & Vulcans, Prime Directive, sustainable living, ecology, eco cities, conflict resolution, Wikipedia, Buckminster Fuller

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
