It's like alpha male chimps jockeying for position. 😂

Maybe I'm not attune to the social dynamics, but the way I see it, peers can disagree and call each other bullshitters without it being a big deal. It's just like saying "you're full of shit bro", and it not being an attack. But maybe I'm not attune to the dynamics. Also, this topic has gone stale. We're free to be human, lol, relax.

What do you mean by "getting used to Leo"? Please don't let the below derail from answering this question. I'm curious what you mean by "getting used to Leo". It's only natural for people to be drawn here by Leo's wisdom and to then, after years, coming to have enough experience such that one feels confident in making their own assessments. People are entitled to their own opinions and own sensemaking. Why would this make you defensive? Do you believe Leo's wisdom is so high that the likes of Unborn Tao and Carl simply can't touch it and they should just default to intellectual subservience or assume they're missing something, even after years of serious work and experience here? Leo is a human bro. He is fallible. For instance, he doesn't seem to understand the mechanics of his own narcissism. Which is fine - I discover new things about my own ignorant ego seemingly on a quarterly basis. I can tell Leo is cool as shit. Funny as hell. But that doesn't mean he knows everything about everything and that none of us can correct him. In fact, Leo would get a ton more respect if he'd open himself up to that from time to time.

No idea what that means. lol

I'll be honest - the only one I know of these is "too right", lol.

😂

Kavaris was out of line here at the end. It turned into personal attack. Cred is obviously in good faith willing to address any legit criticisms and is sticking to the subject matter.

Do you know of any techniques that would be better than Tetris right after trauma?

😂I was wondering how tf have you never heard of that? Funny how that one didn't make it to the aussies. Surely not. Surely she knows.

It's reminds me of watching a child who would otherwise be fine, start to cry because the adults think it just experienced something that warrants crying, and the adults basically manifest the crying. lol I've told my sister, no no, don't act like he should be crying now, because then he will. And of course, she acts like he should be, then he does.

They say if you play the game Tetris for 7 minutes after you've experienced trauma, your trauma will be significantly reduced. I believe this. It's largely a matter of how the mind is given opportunity to amplify the experience, whether that be through self-rumination, cultural narrative, or whatever.

Experience converts to trauma through the nervous system and narration/thought. If you experienced what would typically be thought of as traumatic as a child but your nervous system didn't experience it as traumatic, then not as much trauma occurs - but you can grow up and use story to convert the experience into trauma, and you can amplify it to such a degree you need a therapist.

Performative uncertainty.

Psychedelics effectively serving as a brainwashing and belief construction tool.

I found some of his ideas valuable and interesting but that was years ago. I remember being quite inspired by him.

I agree. As far as I can tell, it is only descriptive of the individual at blue and below. You can peg red and blue individuals all day, but it gets blurry quick when you get into orange. Also, some people are literally born "systematizers". That's just how their minds work. And what, these people get shot up the spiral without doing any work? This is a big problem for SD, among many others.

At what point do you stop asking why and what and how? No matter the answers you find, you'll still just be there, perceiving and interpreting the answers, building meaning into them, trying to make them mean something that suits you.

Do you already have writing in your own formatting and you'll need a system for easily porting it over? It's actually funny, I'm solving markdown formatting to HTML as we speak. If you're starting from scratch, Obsidian actually isn't a bad idea because they have a "publish" tier, which basically let's you publish your entire vault online and it's all converted to HTML so each note is rendered as a proper HTML page. Probably the simplest. But if you already have a ton of writing you need help programmatically formatting, I could help with that. Just shout. And let me know if you want to discuss hosting options. I'm thinking Obsidian Publish would probably suit you very well, as it's a hosting and content management platform in one. The only prerequisite is knowing Markdown, which is simple.

I'd be very interested.

The only way to test a model is to use it. When someone uses the model to type Jesus or even fictional characters, they're mostly just engaging in an analytical hobby. It would be similar to trying to peg Jesus on the SD and ego stage models. If you claim Jesus was stage coral, I wouldn't call that ludicrous. I would know you were just plugging available data into a model and making a guess.

If you tried to figure out what personality type Jesus was, all you could do is analyze the available data. Of course you could never be certain of his type - you'd just be making a best guess based on available data. The way it works is community members vote on what they think the profile is, and whichever gets the most votes wins. Crowdsourcing improves accuracy.

I think the majority of awakened masters are INFJ, which has lead Ni, just like INTJ except they have Fe instead of Te. Lead Ni seems to be the main thing. Another way of looking at is is about 15-20% of the population are born as systematizers. Of those, a few will be highly metacognitive. When the systematizing tendency pairs with high metacognition, you get deeper access to the inner world. There are other factors but I think these are the main ones that set the stage.

Of course many identities built around intellectual superiority (Elon Musk) would find this threatening. Losing half the time to mere mortals isn't something the ego can sustain. Instead, just say you tried it, reached a very high level, but opted out because it was just too simple and basic for a true intellectual.

You delay the whole learning/advancement process if you constantly switch up your openings. The point of playing the same opening over and over is so that you can arrive at the middle game with a decent position. When you can finally do that you will be competing against other opponents who can do the same. This is where the game actually takes place and is where you learn about position and tactics. You have graduated to middle school. It's foundational. If you look at the players who stay stuck at 1000 for years, it's because they refuse to adhere to the basic principles. They never stick with a single opening and just move however they want to. My dad does this. Been stuck at 1000 for two decades. He can't pass 1000 because he continues to ignore the basic principles. He's been playing for so long, he could probably be at 1400 in a few months if only he'd submit and follow the rules of advancement. Side note: the nature of online chess is that you will lose roughly half your games by design, no matter how good you are. This applies to all chess players.
