Overall I feel like abstaining is beneficial if I'm serious about going out. But you do need to be careful about thinking too much with your dick. If you just let your dick run the show, you can make stupid decisions. Dick gets a voice, not the final say.

The clearly example of capitalist bullshittery is how much the richest people in the world have made since Covid. There's no possible way to justify how much more they are worth in just a couple years based on merit. Their businesses have not functionally changed in that time period.

There's a few, but mostly they do not exist. People in the Metamodernism / Integral / Metacrisis space would be the place to start.

Stuff like this was inevitable. People just copy what works.

That's a shame. Finding a legal, safe substance that produces consistent awakenings is holy grail territory.

They might feel safer around gay men at times. But that's not the same thing as "preferring" gay men over straight men.

Relevant indeed.

Tier 2? Musk does not fit any definition I care about for Tier 2. He has spent the last half a decade attacking Green, completely misunderstanding it.

Nothing about my thoughts on Musk have changed.

Good for her. Smart woman.

Health is the foundation for just about any kind of success in life.

Now that it's convenient for their legal case, lol.

Epistemology pretty clearly should come first in terms of order of operations. But this seems like too strong of a distinction. You can have metaphysical insight and understanding.

Surprisingly good take overall. My biggest critique is that he seems to think "natural" enlightenment experiences are superior. They are not.

That’s the core of it. You so smart

Yup. It isn't defined well in these conversations because it actually can't be well-defined. The definitions are necessarily functional and not philosophically rigorous. Gender roles are perfect for showcasing this ambiguity. Can gender roles be authentic? That's a whole can of worms.

A ton. Much of my book answers the question "what do romantic relationships look like after you've deconstructed gender roles?" Or in other words, post-SD Green relationships. This naturally brings up many questions around authenticity.

Yes! It's a useful distinction when one is learning to individuate themselves from the collective conformity of lower stages of development. But ultimately, authenticity as a concept also needs to be deconstructed.

Speculation seems to be that things are heading for a mistrial.

Certainly useful for developing basic STEM competence. But, I found the best part of university to be all the additional autonomy. That autonomy allowed me to start taking philosophy seriously for the first time.

Sure, but I wouldn't call that the core defining characteristic. All of that is more of a downstream consequence of multi-perspectivalism.

Yellow is not about accuracy of models, it's a meta-orientation towards all models, paradigms and perspectives. If you think you have something, show me what you're talking about.

I don’t grant that you have greater predictive ability or understanding of human psychology.

100%. I learn from everyone here. The book is coming out very soon, so I will likely be sharing more about it.

You could be born with a predisposition that helps you develop into Yellow. That's not a contradiction. But a predisposition you are born with is definitely not equivalent to Yellow development by itself.
