Of course, how could I get my own Mind is an Infinite game
-
Example of infinite games? What agents are good at those kinds?
-
Great example- thanks @Leo Gura

Mind providing context? Examples helps us get a better understanding of what valuing truth looks like in practice.

I’m finding the same applies to wage slavery. It’s like breaking away from one form of slavery (living with family), by means of another form of slavery (wage slavery). Financial independence is on a spectrum it seems .

I’d personally like to see more in depth videos on human corruption and depravity, not to moralize but to deepen my understanding I think a lot of us actually do understand that what you are talking about isn’t moralization, rather it’s helping us be able to see one’s level of epistemic corruption as it relates to being further or closer to Truth. Corruption is on a spectrum, and no human can maintain its survival without some degree of corruption. I think a lot of your audience wants to connect with you on a human level (me included)-maybe you can talk a little bit more about your personal experience with corruption, ways in which you have been corrupted by your own survival and the challenges you’ve had to face. I commend you for your post, but it’s the first time that we’re really hearing about how your insights have been psychologically taxing on you (since starting the topic of corruption and being epistemically perverted).

Trump's bogus pick for FBI Director-Kash Patel. He peddles numerous right wing conspiracies about the "deep state" and mainstream media- and is a Trump loyalist-He was previously investigated for involvement in Ukraine-Russia collusion scandal during the Trump administration. He is threatening to "drain the swamp" and go after those who have investigated Trump for previous crimes. Insane.

@Leo Gura i watched both episodes of you on his podcasts. I do commend him for trying to understand what you were pointing to, but seems as though he was thoroughly entrenched in scientific/rationalist worldview, it was rough seeing him struggle to break out of it. He’s a great thinker in his capacity to construct sophisticated models & TOEs .. but cannot transcend the construction process at a meta level.

Thanks Leo!

Can't argue with that, but of course much of the world's education systems are corrupt and don't facilitate proper education and opportunities for personal development to happen on any deep level. It's a systems issue that Green values bring some attention to (corruption of education/political systems by toxic Orange). -

This assumes the growth and development of the lower stage is not contingent on the enforcement of Green values. But how is it the case people get to Green then? I would think delivering on some of those values, even among the underdeveloped masses, plays some role. -

The 'S'elf is Pure Consciousness & Awareness. The concept of no self in non duality and Buddhist circles is false. The Infinite Self is all that exists. -

Damn, why is it we can't get away with endless pleasure whilst keeping our mind free from devilry and corruption? Seems God designs us to create our own mental traps and fall prey to them at the same time. It's an ingenious design.. -

Thoughts on how one develops discernment? Seems to be a product of wisdom gained from developing awareness of distinctions & opposites through a set of experiences in a particular field or arena. The Trump question focuses on how good one is at distinguishing a bad faith actor/con artist from someone with honest and pure intentions. The same mechanism is at play for people who get seduced into abusive relationships or ponzi schemes for example.
