I've been racking my mind for the past 2-3 weeks trying to come up with a million dollar business idea... Then i stopped and asked myself if profit didn't matter, what would i enjoy that's authentic to my personality? BAM -- my idea for suitable creative project came to me almost instantly. I am excited because I now realize that working on some form of art project that's authentic to my personality is all that matters. I can follow my creative intuition and see how it transforms my life --whether it makes $100 million or $5 bucks is irrelevant. It's living a life of constantly developing my creative skills and reaching new heights.

thats good homework .. ok good to re-learn it after seeing all of its self deceptions

@Leo Gura can we expect a comprehensive steelman of rationalism in the coming episode(s)?- that would bring it full circle I feel

Insight: what do scientist and religious people have in common? They both believe in objective truths that exist independent of their subjective interpretations. Ex: Scientists don't realize their is no scientific method outside of their mind constructing it Same with Christians and Jesus.

The recent posts on Christianity has really hit home. If I had it my way, I would ban all religion- really starting to see how religious indoctrination (the thing that which claims to teach God) is an obstruction to God. This is real Twilight zone shit - - if any one owns a Bible or Quaran, the best thing you can do with that book for your spiritual health is deconstruct it. So so so COUNTER INTUITIVE. God imagines religion and worships false idols to fool itself that it isn't God. Once this is realized .... boy o boy

How they use anxiety to control the masses is by creating a story that there is someone somewhere that is using anxiety to control the masses. The irony

STEM paths are pretty reliable. Unfortunate because not everyone is into STEM, should not have to incur thousands in student debt to get a quality university experience.

Meta Rationality.com quote-David Chapman There’s another problem: scientific instruments are not ontologically neutral; their outputs are “theory-laden” and not bare facts. You can only believe a measurement is meaningful—never mind reliable—if you already accept particular concepts, assumptions, and theories; and those are always to some degree nebulous and uncertain. Mind-blowing stuff

I challenge you to think of it not as rule based conformist thinking, but a social courtesy based off legitimate grievances of an historically oppressed group of people.

Of course -- without rules you get social anarchy and chaos. That's what government institutions and police are for. The U.S. Constitution is a set of rules, without which we'd all be enslaved to most powerful. Even in that case, the Constitution at one point only considered Blacks as three fifths of a human: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise Rules matter

Context matters. Blacks were called N words by whites in a derogatory fashion- not to mention centuries of slavery and oppression. No black person wants to be called N word by a white person simply because it just doesn't feel good. Not sure you can call that conformity

Luigi is a handsome guy, if he was ugly- he wouldn't be getting near as much press- This guy has fan club of girls swooning over him

White plantations owners in the South / Confederacy were calling their slaves the N word out of conformity well before it became urban slang in the today's Black community

In response to Leo' pop quiz: This lady's criticism of post modernism brings up legit critiques, but she fails to mention what post modernism gets right / limits of modernism. There is bias against postmodernism legit aim to deconstruct notions of objective truth that science and rationalism are attached to. She constantly points to the ideological undertones of post modernism (which are evident), but does not mention ideologies that demonize post modernism such as materialism, and rationalism.

Life is a game of survival .. among other things. Embrace this aspect of being human by separating your survival from spiritual pursuits. There is value to both- relatively speaking.

Does watching / reading 100 hours of content on rationality and meaning crisis count as aping? Just kidding It’s about to be a busy couple of months with all the new content shared

I wouldn't frame your situation negatively- it's a temporary stop gap you'll need to take as more doors open for entreprenuership. Consider making a salary a hold over until you're back on your feet, biggest thing is not getting comfortable with a salary for too long, or you'll not want to change it.

Rationality- one of many tools humans use to justify their subjective worldview as objectively true. We are all rational agents because the survival of our worldviews hinge on it .. until it doesn't. But that day would only come after we drop the need to survive. Goal isn't to drop rationality, but see it for what is-thus making it more truthful by first telling the truth about it. An intro to meta rationality This stuff is deep

at that point it isn't conformity. what is it? I need to contemplate that .. but I have a hunch it's more so an indication of curiosity and discovery

Can’t forget to add Diddy to this list. Too bad his ego got him prison time
