@ExploringReality Thanks for sharing. I resonate strongly with a large part of your experience - also raised in a household with 5 kids, rough upbringing, Have also had about 30 trips with the last few touching on Insanity. Grounding myself heavily in the work towards the LP. Psychs will always be there, we in for the long ride.

The "laser" revealing the "code of reality" reminds me of Michael Talbot's "The Holographic Universe". Danny has some okay interpretations with respect to the relativistic ontology, but everything else seems a like a salad of "sacred geometry" + "simulation hypothesis"+"Japanese Katakana". One should be aware that psychedelics largely reflect the state of consciousness and biases of the person. IMO not particularly insightful or interesting. The intellectual substance/density of the "paper" is that of a freshman HS project.

Tesla has had a decline in sales for the first time in its history (only downhill from here) yet it is 40% up with a P/E ratio at 117. Other Big Tech have also seen crazy jumps. What does that tell you? Speculation. The “Trump stimulus package” is based on frenzy over libertarian promises of slashing regulations. It has nothing to do with the underlying value. Sure, it may not fall/crash soon, but you have to keep in mind that the current price is fundamentally volatile. Tomorrow Musk may say or do something to anger Trump and you will see your fortunes reverse. It is precisely in economic times like these that the fools get left holding the bag.

Academia does not reward wisdom. It rewards your h-index, which is largely based on herd social dynamics. Saying this as someone who is going to pursue a PhD.

Can’t wait. Can already tell there will be some serious systemic observations.

Can you write some of your thoughts on the Blog? You can tie it nicely with the last “political winter” piece, which is pure gold. Would be a good testament you can come back to when addressing some of the “black pill” topics in the future and “touch base” with the hippies.

Recent blog posts have been absolute gold. Thanks for sharing.

@Leo Gura How have you made sure the brutal reality doesn’t corrupt your consciousness? I have found that the more I wrestle with gruesome nature of what needs to be done (олигархия), my mind tends to enter Chaos/Insanity spaces.

Definition of a man child. It’s funny how the perception of Zucc and Musk flipped.

This is such a low quality post.

First it was 2000, then 2008, then 2012… You get the idea. Never has been and never will be a “sudden awakening”. Not how society evolves.

@integral If you reframe it as “entertaining” instead of “addictive” I am more likely to agree. Even then, I think the deeper point is that for every 10 minutes of high consciousness content you consume you need to spend a 100 contemplating yourself. TikTok clearly isn’t the format for that. There is a reason less and less people can finish a 20 min video, let alone an hour or two.

There may be an alternative motive for banning Tik Tok beyond a geopolitical clash with China. I have been seeing a lot of posts about the comments of the ADL CEO and a conversation between Mitt Romney and Blinken that enforces that this may have to do with Israel and Palestine: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/blinken-romney-israel-hamas-tiktok-b2540021.html

This is an oxymoron. High Consciousness work is difficult, boring and mundane. It is meant to shake you out of your comfort zone not reinforce it.

It’s not like the sharp rise in virgins can be attributed to a genetic shift. Of course evolution always persists, it is a feature of consciousness. What I was pointing to is that we can no longer speak of only “genetic fitness” as the selection pressure. I used “technology” as a much broader term than simply CRISPR - it refers to any and all augmentations, whether it be societal (social media, internet), biological (medicine), or mechanical (transportation, industrialisation), etc. For example, if before primarily physical strength was being selected for, now it is intelligence and mercantilism (think of Musk with his 12 kids) And that will of course continue to change.

I didn’t say we have stopped evolving. I said that it’s not the genetic mutations that are being selected for. Being an incel has nothing to do with genes. Modern medicine has also changed the selection for physical attributes because even if you are short and weak, you will not die by a predator.

From a local/micro-perspective it certainly may look or feel this way. But if you zoom out, you can see the phase transitions in complexity and societal organisation. The emergence of such patterns cannot be accounted by simply looking at power dynamics.

Even though it’s true that children have around 60 new genetic mutations compared to their parents, we are long beyond evolutionary pressures selecting for those. Any phenotype changes would necessarily come from technology, since we are already operating at sub-generational time scales.

Can’t wait for the second episode with the finer distinction along the higher stages. Was hoping you get to it in this one, but I understand there was a lot of ground to cover.

@yetineti Yah I did. My bad, the phrasing came off as if I was correcting you. Was just adding that we need to ground the models first.

He isn’t suggesting to keep the structure. It is predicated on systematisation rather than individuation. With the OpenAI example you gave, you can imagine a point when models have a grounding in references and facts, s.t. you can have individualised tutors that don’t rest or judge.

@Juns There’s no “IQ gene”. IQ is a construct and a bad one at that.

That’s a good way to put it. The only thing is “surrender” doesn’t always mean “let go” the way certain people may take to mean that they have to “surrender” their life, i.e kill themselves. It’s more nuanced and sometimes surrender means that you have to give it every ounce of energy and fight you have in you, accepting the outcome regardless.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve found myself in a similar boat. I also started early with psychs and that opened my mind in ways that there is no return from (30+ trips( But I realised there is a lot of karma for me to burn through as the human and that there is a lot of stuff I want to do/experience/understand first.

That’s a good way to frame it. Reality is like Indra’s net, i.e. fractal (you can zoom forever without losing complexity) and every level of abstraction reflects the Whole. If you are God (zoomed out) then the human micro (zoomed in) is so insignificant that your consciousness doesn’t register it. All amazing questions I hope to grasp in this lifetime. My suspicion is you need to traverse up and down the layers of abstraction from human to God and back to begin understanding it. There doesn’t seem to be a trivial answer, because any answer is only true at a certain level of the “fractal” that is Reality, whereas these questions incorporate the full ladder, i.e they will be multi-linear/ multi-dimensional and relative.
