By virtue of the principle of homophily, it's likely that many people on this forum are similar to you. Self-awareness is a great first step, and then self-awareness geared towards benefiting yourself and others with your 'uniqueness' is a great extension to that. I watched this interesting Vaush clip that specifically covered the theme of 'masking' that many people on the spectrum may do as a result of being subtly traumatized by the social milieu growing up: He makes a great argument for a Tarantino movie marathon followed by a Breaking Bad and Better Caul Saul binge. I might bring some DVDs out the to ranch with the guys:

Here's an interesting online test to find out which movie/TV character your personality resembles. Unlike other online personality tests, it has an anonymous peer review option. Self-report test: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/ Peer report test: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/peer-report/ These were my top 10 matches after mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law, brother, 2 besties and girlfriend had their say: My self-report match was dumbledore, so it's interesting to see the differences.

The error here is assuming ants in South America complain. They are infected with a mind control fungus not to dissimilar to the narcissistic control exerted by people like Tate. Tate fanboys don't complain, he is cool and he does not do sex traffic. He is top G. He has baguette. Do you see Tate fanboys complain? No, therefore Tate is God. Cognito ergo sum.

Why Andrew Tate's Man-Philosophy Cannot Work https://youtu.be/VFFBtnQLCk4 The speaker wants to discuss the problems with Andrew Tate and his philosophy, which has been in the news lately and has been popular among young men. The speaker is not interested in demonizing Andrew Tate or presenting evidence in a criminal trial against him. The speaker is more interested in the larger picture and the philosophy behind what Tate is teaching, which is troubling. The speaker has a lot of experience in the various industries and fields that Tate is a part of. The episode is not intended for those who already agree that Tate has done bad things or is a bad person, but for those who admire Tate and find his philosophy appealing but can't understand why the rest of society doesn't agree with them. The speaker sympathizes with the situation of young men, who have a hard time finding good role models, and have difficulty with dating, socializing, and making money. Tate promises young men fast access to beautiful women, cars, money, houses, and an attractive lifestyle, which can seem very appealing. The speaker has a lot of experience going through his own journey of growing up as a man and figuring out these issues, and has a lot of inside knowledge about the dating advice for men, pickup industry, and online business. The speaker mentions shady characters operating within these industries, much like Andrew Tate himself. The text discusses the idea that there must be a healthy way to accomplish certain things, such as getting multiple girlfriends or going into business. The author mentions that they have a three-part series called "How to Get Laid" that provides detailed advice and tips on these topics. They argue that there is a wise and foolish way to go about constructing one's life as a young man. The author criticizes certain subcultures and echo chambers on social media, specifically mentioning Andrew Tate and the "red pill" community as examples. They express disappointment with the lack of ethical guidance in these communities and point out that the flaws in these communities are not that they don't work, but rather the lack of ethics. The author also mentions that they have personally received backlash from within these communities for speaking out against them in the past. They compare Andrew Tate and his community to RSD 2.0 after RSD collapsed with Julian gate in 2015. The text discusses the topic of drug dealing and redemption The speaker suggests that there is a difference between smoking weed or doing psychedelics versus using drug dealing as a way to make a living The speaker believes that anyone can redeem themselves, but in practice, it may not happen The speaker notes that drug dealing often involves dealing with shady characters and the bottom of the barrel of society The text suggests that the speaker suspects the person they are discussing (Leo) may have dealt drugs for longer than they let on The text also brings up the topic of a man (Andrew Tate) having multiple girlfriends, none of whom know about each other The speaker suggests that this is a red flag and that this man is likely lying to and manipulating these women to keep them in the dark about his other relationships The text implies that the problem with this behavior is not the cheating itself, but the web of lies that comes along with it The speaker suggests that no self-respecting woman would enter into this kind of situation knowingly and that the man is tricking and manipulating them into it The text describes a facade of personal development and success that is often portrayed on social media, specifically through the examples of individuals such as Dan Bilzerian and Tai Lopez. The author criticizes the way these individuals use social media to advertise and recruit followers by exploiting the "deepest parts of your reptilian brain" and making promises that are not sustainable. The author argues that this kind of advertising is not how genuine success is created and that it can actually take longer to become wealthy and successful in relationships. The author expresses frustration with the shallow, surface-level solutions that are often pitched in the name of personal development, spirituality, and business, and emphasizes the importance of 100% sustainability in building one's life. The author mentions that the Dan Bilzerian lifestyle is not genuine because the girls are paid to be there. The text discusses a man named Tate who had multiple girlfriends and then revealed to them that he was starting a webcam business and expected them to participate in it. The author argues that this is a "scumbag move" and deeply disrespectful to women. The author suggests that it is not a behavior that should be expected of a "high quality man." The author presents a thought experiment of a father offering his own daughter the same webcam business opportunity, in order to illustrate how wrong it is. The author argues that the majority of women enter the sex industry due to financial pressure or coercion, rather than a true desire to express themselves sexually. The author suggests that this type of behavior is equivalent to abuse and can cause psychological trauma for the women involved. The text describes a person (referred to as "Andrew Tay") who is profiting from controlling and manipulating young girls in a foreign country by using various tactics such as threats and manipulation, referred to as the "Loverboy method" These girls work in the webcam industry and earn a significant amount of money, but Andrew takes more than half of their income The girls may leave the industry after a few months, but Andrew uses pressure and manipulation to keep them around for longer, potentially earning him an extra $50,000 per girl per year The text states that this behavior is illegal in most countries, including Romania, and is considered sex trafficking The text also suggests that Andrew is having sexual relationships with these girls, making his behavior deeply unprofessional. CEO loses reputation, negatively impacting stock and employees of the company and potentially the economy as a whole Effects ripple out to customers and families of those involved Discusses the concept of "mob justice" or "cancel culture" and how it can sometimes go too far The idea that the legal system is not always effective and the "mob" steps in to fill the gap Mention of specific individual, Andrew Tate, and how he is not a threat to any government or people in power The text touches on the idea that society has rules and ethics to prevent chaos and the spread of evil The author posits that one should consider if they would want their daughter dating someone like Andrew Tate The text implies that some individuals may not be concerned about the well-being of society and instead focus on their own desires for sex and power. The text discusses the idea that flashy and unsustainable methods, such as those promoted by Andrew Tate, do not lead to a solid foundation or true success. It suggests that these methods, such as NFTs, crypto scams, and Ponzi schemes, prey on young and impressionable individuals and are not effective. The text also mentions that girls may also be "playing a con" on young men through their presence on social media. The author advises that building a solid foundation and being ethical are crucial for becoming a truly powerful man. The text critiques specific methods promoted by Andrew Tate, such as running a webcam company and recruiting girlfriends into the business, as being manipulative and potentially illegal. The author argues that these methods are not likely to lead to more sex or relationships, and may in fact have the opposite effect. The text suggests that the methods promoted by Andrew Tate require a cold-hearted and sociopathic mindset, which most people do not possess. The text discusses the concept of ego and how it perceives other people The author argues that a major error in certain philosophical ideologies is the desire to manipulate and control others in order to achieve success and happiness The author states that attempting to control others will lead to failure and unhappiness, as it is fundamentally impossible to achieve true happiness through manipulation and control The author mentions a specific individual, Andrew Tate, who is accused of treating women disrespectfully and violating the principle of respecting the sovereignty of every conscious being The author suggests that contemplating these principles will reveal their truth, and that committing to never controlling or manipulating another person will improve the quality of one's life The author also differentiates between healthy masculinity and toxic masculinity, and criticizes surface-level ideas of what it means to be a "real man" Coercion and manipulation are not true strength True strength is found in spirituality This includes the ability to accept, surrender, let go, set aside ego and personal desires, sacrifice, and endure difficulty and pain for a higher cause A lot of "pick-up artist" characters prey on people's impatience and desire for shortcuts, instead of legitimate means of acquiring things There is a masculinity crisis, which is not caused by feminism or social justice movements, but rather a lack of teaching and experiences that test men's abilities as leaders and with the opposite sex Boys and teens are becoming addicted to video games, which is not only unhealthy, but also does not provide opportunities to test oneself as a man There is a right and wrong way to teach men how to be better leaders and have more experience with women The same goes for traditional family values and relationships, where a healthy and toxic version exist The key is to do these things with respect and not out of fear, insecurity, or a need to dominate. The text discusses various forms of electronics and video game franchises, and how the integrity of the original creators can affect the quality and value of the brand over time. The author uses the example of the Star Wars franchise, which was created by George Lucas with high integrity, but was later sold to Disney, which has lower ethics and integrity, resulting in the production of low-quality content that is overpriced. The author argues that maintaining integrity over a long period of time is difficult and takes a special kind of person to do so, and that building wealth is not just about accumulating money, but also about developing internal assets such as mindset, education, skills, and communication abilities. The author criticizes "guru" figures like Andrew Tate and Tai Lopez for selling "Fool's Gold" to their followers, and suggests that their teachings are immature and psychologically harmful. The author suggests that facing the truth when one has been fooled by a scam or scheme is a part of what it means to be a "real man" and that it can be difficult to give up the fantasy that one has been sold, but it is necessary for personal growth. The author mentions that one could lose their life savings, set oneself back a few years, get involved in criminal activity, debase oneself and subscribe to toxic ideologies when falling for these schemes and scams. The speaker is critical of a Necromancer who believes they can control a demon and is suggesting that this attitude will lead to negative consequences. The speaker suggests that the Necromancer's ego and selfishness will lead to a cycle of negative behaviors, including theft, lying, cheating, killing, and exploitation. The speaker argues that these behaviors are characteristic of "third-world countries" where laws are loose and societies are less fair and pleasant. The speaker suggests that societies with strict laws and peaceful cooperation are more likely to be prosperous and wealthy. The speaker argues that a society with strict rape laws is important for economic prosperity and mentions the UK and US as examples of this. The speaker dismisses the idea that loose rape laws are desirable or "cool" and encourages the listener to consider the negative consequences for their own family and loved ones. The text discusses the negative effects of chasing materialism and wealth, including unhappiness, depression, addiction, health problems, and relationship issues. It argues that eventually, people will realize that materialism is not the answer to happiness and will turn to spirituality as an alternative. The text suggests that the methods and tactics used to acquire material wealth and success can lead to bad habits and a low integrity character, which can make it difficult to improve one's life. The author suggests that desperation for material wealth or success should be a "Clarion call" to change one's approach and "drop all the gimmicks." The text implies that the mind is not as flexible as people think and bad habits can be difficult to change once they are ingrained. The author's solution is to focus on genuine spirituality and to work on building a strong character with high integrity. The speaker is discussing their personal spiritual and development work They mention that in order to reach the highest levels of spirituality, one must let go of manipulations and lying They mention that this can be challenging, and that it's easier to survive without both hands tied behind your back They mention that they handicap themselves in texting with girls in order to maintain integrity and truth, which brings joy in life They mention that every lie, deception, manipulation, and trick has a cost that will come back to bite you in the end They mention that it takes a lot of spiritual development and maturity to understand these costs They mention that they also have urges to manipulate customers, charge more money, put out clickbait content, and lock their best content behind paywalls, but they work to resist these urges They mention that by maintaining integrity, they maintain the integrity of their brand and attract people who find something unique and special about it They mention that Andrew Tate has only shown a small part of personal development and has not developed himself internally They mention that there are many levels of personal development and recommend the viewer to check out his series called Spiral Dynamics, the nine stages of ego development, and episodes on wisdom, integrity and understanding bias.

Mankind Is The Bullshitting Animal https://youtu.be/8dVa6_e9FWw Mankind is the "bullshitting animal" Speaker has spent a lot of time studying various models of how life, society, and consciousness work Speaker had an epiphany about mankind and wants to share it with the audience Speaker's insight: mankind is full of shit Speaker elaborates on this idea by listing various groups and concepts that are "full of shit" The idea that mankind is full of shit explains a lot and has explanatory power Speaker suggests that the audience listen to the insight several times to fully understand its profundity Speaker ends by saying that the idea that mankind is full of shit is not meant to be taken literally, but rather serves as a way of understanding the human condition Importance is relative and subjective, based on how something affects an individual's survival Survival includes physical needs such as shelter, food, and water, as well as social needs such as sex, reproduction, status, celebrity, fame, and money Every human institution relies on bullshitting in some way in order to maintain its structure and to ensure the survival of its members Making an accurate assessment of mankind's condition does not mean judging it as good or bad, but rather observing and understanding how and why people and institutions operate as they do It is important to thoroughly evaluate and verify this idea that mankind is full of shit in various domains and to not blindly accept or reject it Avoid the mistake of becoming cynical or nihilistic as a result of this understanding, but rather use it as a tool to better navigate and understand the world and one's own survival within it Next week, spend time considering and journaling about the following questions: How am I full of shit in different categories of my life, such as spirituality, science, politics, family, sexuality, emotions, health and nutrition, etc.? How am I a hypocrite? How do I make excuses for my bullshit? Whose bullshit do I complain about to distract from looking at my own? How am I in denial about my own bullshit? These questions are meant to be used for the rest of your life, not just as a one-time exercise. Truthfulness, honesty, and authenticity are necessary for health, happiness, decency, and effective governance. Most of human history, culture, business, and governance has involved the creation, distribution, and denial of bullshit. Anti-bullshit (i.e., calling out and shedding light on bullshit) must be denied and suppressed in order to maintain the status quo. People who leave negative comments about advanced or controversial insights are often trying to heap more bullshit on top in order to deny the truth. Speaker has a meta perspective on how to approach gathering knowledge and insights Cross references multiple sources and experiences to develop a sense of truthfulness Takes vigilant approach to avoid self-delusion, biases, and self-deception mechanisms Doubts everything and constantly reevaluates and rethinks previous beliefs Flexible, open-minded, and able to handle contradictions, paradoxes, and confusion Life and the universe are complex and cannot be explained with one simple perspective Gave a lens of looking at everything as though it was bullshit, but emphasized that it is just one perspective and not to become attached to it

The Big Picture Of Self-Actualization https://youtu.be/JGw8IoqBt-c The purpose of this video is to give a high-level overview of the essential components of the self-actualization path The components of this path include: Recognizing a deep need for growth, which may come from intuition or suffering Taking 100% responsibility for your life and recognizing that your life is a reflection of your thoughts, actions, desires, and emotional and psychological makeup Discriminating between what is real and what is not real and learning to rely on your own judgment and experience Developing self-awareness and understanding your own psychology and emotional makeup Transcending your ego and letting go of the need for power and control Developing empathy and compassion for others Working on personal growth and development in areas such as communication, relationships, and personal responsibility Contemplating and understanding the nature of existence and reality Finding your purpose and meaning in life Achieving self-actualization and reaching your full potential as a human being Detachment does not mean becoming a "cold hearted robot," but rather feeling deeper and more fully Attachment to experiences, thoughts, emotions, and actions can prevent full feeling Shift from orientation towards "doing and having" to "being" Satisfaction from "being" is more consistent and rewarding than from "doing and having" Developing the capacity for observation, including self-observation, is important in discriminating reality from appearance Ego and self-centered thinking can distort perception and understanding True understanding comes from non-conceptual insight, or realization through direct experience rather than through thoughts and ideas True understanding leads to acceptance and compassion for oneself and others. "Sattvic lifestyle" refers to a sober, pure way of living This involves letting go of distractions and chemical addictions, and becoming free from distractions and toxicity It also involves deep psychological work to remove physical and energy blockages, as well as undoing social conditioning and questioning beliefs and morals Non-manipulative relationships are also an important part of this lifestyle The ultimate goal of a sattvic lifestyle is to develop understanding and discipline to change oneself and grow spiritually There is a lot of content available for free on a website The website includes a life purpose course by bookless and a forum The website also includes a blog, with plans to add more content in the future It is important to use all the resources available on the website In the future, the website will go into more detail on the process of self actualization A new episode is being planned that will provide concrete details on how to get started with self actualization The episode will provide practical information and take the abstract concepts discussed and make them more concrete It is encouraged to stay with the website and more content will be provided in the future

A Rant Against Naive Realism - Reality Is NOT Physical! https://youtu.be/_APVC8AGt8g Definition of naive realism and materialism The everyday conception of reality as a three-dimensional space with objects and linear time The belief that the world continues to exist and function when we are not perceiving it The idea that subjective experiences are just a manifestation of an objective, underlying world The absurdity of naive realism when examined critically The concept of solipsism and how it challenges naive realism The idea that consciousness is fundamental and creates the illusion of an objective world The limitations of language and how it shapes our understanding of reality The possibility of multiple levels or dimensions of reality beyond our current understanding The limitations of scientific approaches to understanding reality The importance of questioning and examining metaphysical assumptions about reality. The mind-body problem is a long-standing issue of how the mind can arise from the body This problem has not been solved because it is based on flawed, existential premises about reality Observing and being mindful can lead to the realization that the "stuff behind the scenes" is nothing, but we perceive it as something The mind has a hard time accepting that appearance has no origin other than itself The default position is to believe in naive realism, the idea that we can perceive the world as it is The mind resists the idea that all of reality is fundamentally unknown and mystical, rather than physical and mechanistic The assumption that the world is mechanistic, with everything having a cause and mechanism, can be questioned A quote by Arthur C. Clarke suggests that a sufficiently advanced technology may appear like magic to us The idea that reality is a projection of the mind, rather than the other way around, can be challenging to understand and accept Personal development beyond shallow techniques involves getting existential and metaphysical The fundamental assumptions of reality (space, time, matter, energy) are not real and must be created by the mind It is important to undermine the physicalist paradigm (the belief that reality is three-dimensional and linear and that we are conscious entities within physical bodies with physical brains) Reality is the phenomenal field, and to understand it requires surrendering to what is true This understanding can be deeply emotional and life-changing The idea that objects and the world are physical and solid is an assumption that can be undermined Reality is a subjective experience, and the boundaries of the self and the world are constructed by the mind The physical world is an illusion created by the mind Understanding this requires letting go of ego and egoic thought patterns The ego is an illusion created by the mind To understand reality, it is necessary to let go of the ego and egoic thought patterns This can be a difficult process, but it is necessary for personal growth and understanding reality.

Using 5-MeO-DMT To Become Enlightened - Interview With Martin Ball https://youtu.be/bWSOl62memg Martin Ball, PhD, is an adjunct professor and advocate of the psychedelic substance 5-MeO-DMT 5-MeO-DMT is a powerful substance that can be used to attain enlightenment or liberation The term "enlightenment experience" refers to a brief period of non-dual awareness The ego must relax and surrender in order to fully experience an enlightenment experience After an enlightenment experience, the ego may reform and a person may return to their prior state Liberation or actual enlightenment is a result of a process that unravels the ego and allows for the true nature of the self to be recognized 5-MeO-DMT can be a helpful tool in this process, but it is not the only way to attain enlightenment Other factors, such as willingness to let go of the ego, a healthy and stable environment, and a strong spiritual practice can also contribute to the attainment of liberation 5-MeO-DMT is not for everyone and should be approached with caution and respect Enlightenment is about understanding the true nature of things and letting go of illusions and beliefs Many spiritual traditions that use psychedelics are more focused on practical healing and not so much on non-dual enlightenment These traditions have a strong therapeutic value, but may not necessarily lead to enlightenment Many people in the West have approached psychedelics from a shamanic perspective and may not fully understand non-duality Non-duality is about discovering the truth and wanting to know what is really real, rather than just believing in something because it is comfortable or interesting The desire for enlightenment or non-duality is important for any kind of spiritual seeking The speaker had a desire to know the truth from a young age and was interested in different spiritual traditions The speaker discovered the non-dual teachings of Buddhism and found that they resonated with their own experience and understanding The speaker used 5-MeO-DMT as a tool to help them attain liberation and enlightenment The experience of using 5-MeO-DMT allowed the speaker to let go of their ego and see the true nature of reality The speaker emphasizes the importance of having a strong foundation in non-dual teachings and understanding before using psychedelics as a tool for spiritual growth The speaker describes the concept of "buddha mind" as being empty and conscious The speaker had a transformative experience while using the psychedelic drug 5-MeO-DMT, and described it as a feeling of gratitude towards "God" 5-MeO-DMT and the neurotransmitter tryptamine are present in the bodies of all mammals and can pass the blood-brain barrier quickly 5-MeO-DMT activates a specific receptor in the brain that is associated with the ego and individuated consciousness The speaker's experience with 5-MeO-DMT included the complete overwhelming of the ego, auditory and visual hallucinations, and a feeling of oneness with the universe The speaker believes that the experience allowed them to access a state of consciousness that is usually beyond human understanding and is usually only accessible through spiritual practices or near-death experiences The speaker suggests that the experience of taking 5-MeO-DMT can be a helpful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. Non-dual states of awareness are accompanied by balanced bilateral symmetry in the body The ego often leads to energetic asymmetry in the body Psychedelics can be used to help achieve non-dual states of awareness and work through distortions of the ego by paying attention to symmetry and asymmetry in the body It can be challenging to maintain symmetry while under the influence of psychedelics The ego is a collection of patterns of energy that humans learn to edit and censor as they grow up and observe societal norms The introverted person is more likely to analyze and censor their natural energy, while the extroverted person is more likely to express themselves freely Process of examining and dealing with ego involves: Vibrating and shaking in the body Inability to speak in natural language Toning and vocalizing (screaming, yelling, laughing, crying) Purging trapped energy Encountering true emotions Ego trying to create stories and narratives Line between "God" and individual ("Martin") becomes blurry during this process Ego tries to understand and make sense of this, leading to ego declaring "I'm God, everything is God" Switch is flipped, resulting in feeling like constantly tripping on DMT Energy and consciousness fluctuate between infinite and finite Ego's hold on individual becomes weaker and weaker Individual experiences a sense of unity with all things and a loss of personal identity The speaker is discussing the benefits and experiences of using entheogens (psychedelic substances used for spiritual or therapeutic purposes) They mention that entheogens can provide full-spectrum healing for the mind and body, and can create a unique, whole-body "melt" sensation The speaker mentions the importance of being aware of and correcting asymmetry in the body during an entheogenic experience, and the importance of avoiding physical or mental distractions The non-dual approach to using entheogens involves letting go of ego-driven activity and ritual, and instead learning to rest in a state of "doing nothing" The speaker advises people to surrender to the experience, but also to be aware of and correct any ego patterns that may arise The speaker also mentions that entheogens can provide access to the "body cemetery," a metaphor for the repressed memories and emotions stored in the body The speaker advises people to surrender to the experience and allow these repressed memories and emotions to surface and be released, but also to be aware of and correct any ego patterns that may arise

Understanding The Liberal Mind https://youtu.be/0UJbHNhYl0U Understanding the liberal mind is the subject of this two-part series The goal is to give a deeper understanding of the opposite political worldview This episode is for conservatives to understand the liberal worldview The liberal worldview is often misunderstood and misrepresented by conservative media The goal is to present a charitable, unbiased view of the liberal worldview The liberal worldview is emotionally appealing to many people The liberal worldview values fairness and equality The liberal worldview sees society as flawed and in need of improvement The liberal worldview values compassion and empathy The liberal worldview sees government as a tool for positive change The liberal worldview values diversity and inclusion The liberal worldview sees capitalism as flawed and in need of regulation The liberal worldview values education and knowledge The liberal worldview values the environment and sustainability The liberal worldview values social justice and equality for marginalized groups The liberal worldview sees religion as a personal belief and values separation of church and state The liberal worldview values personal freedom and individual rights Liberalism involves expanding one's circle of concern and empathy to include the entire universe This results in a larger capacity for love, empathy, forgiveness, and seeing the good in others However, expanding one's circle of concern can also threaten survival, requiring a balance between unconditional love and protecting one's tribe and self The conservative mind tends to see the world in terms of good and evil and is therefore more judgmental The liberal mind is more lenient and less strict due to its survival conditions (e.g. living in a liberal democracy with a strong safety net) There are pros and cons to both approaches It is important to not judge one approach as better or worse than the other Love is a complex and sophisticated concept that requires further exploration The conservative mind may struggle with understanding evil and the concept of the devil The Constitution is the founding document of the United States and is seen as sacred by some There is a debate over whether or not it is dangerous to change the Constitution One perspective is that it is more dangerous not to change the Constitution, as it is an old document that may not be equipped to deal with modern technological advances In American political climate, it is often seen as liberals who challenge the status quo, while conservatives want to preserve it However, in the case of Trump, he only challenged the status quo in order to attain power, and once he had it, he was not interested in further change True rebellion would involve radical change to the status quo, such as changing the economy from capitalism to socialism or modifying the Constitution The liberal mind is more likely to question and deconstruct culture, while the conservative mind wants to preserve it The Deep state refers to the entrenched bureaucracy and power structures within a government Trump's conflicts with the Deep state are driven by his ego and desire for more power, rather than a desire to dismantle the Deep state and create a more equitable society The Catholic Church denies and suppresses accusations of sexual abuse to protect its reputation and preserve people's attachment to the system The liberal mind is more feminine, open-hearted, and intuitive, while the right-wing mind tends to be more masculine and aggressive Modern times require intelligence, diplomacy, and strategy, rather than brute force and raw power Masculine approaches are not always effective and can be counterproductive in certain situations Both the feminine and masculine approaches have their place, depending on the situation. Liberal mindset is like a shallow coral reef ecosystem with diverse, interdependent organisms Conservative mindset is like living in a deep, dark part of the ocean with few organisms and harsh survival conditions Conservative mindset is defensive, like a cactus with spikes, because it is separated from others and needs to protect itself Liberal mindset is open and accepting, like a coconut that invites others to take from it Maga movement represents a conservative mindset of wanting to put up walls to protect oneself Liberal attitude is against walls and believes they may or may not work depending on the situation Problem with border walls is that they can be easily bypassed or climbed over Walls can work in certain situations, like protecting a garden or house, but not in all situations Need to find a balance between individual rights and the needs of the community Differences in mindset can lead to misunderstandings and conflict, but it is important to try to understand and appreciate different perspectives. The internet and globalization have connected people globally, including through cheap air travel and technology There are valid arguments about harm caused by globalization, particularly in trade policy and outsourcing However, globalism is inevitable and will continue to grow in the future In the future, there will be more communication, travel, interconnection, and mixing of cultures and races It will be easy to access any cuisine, book, language, or religion from anywhere in the world Resisting globalism is futile because it is inevitable The liberal mindset tends to be more open to science, facts, and rationality However, conservatism also evolves and can be more scientific or progressive in different parts of the world and at different times in history The conservative mindset is often associated with religion, particularly in less developed parts of the world It is important to understand the evolution and relative nature of conservatism and liberalism The future will likely involve a blend of both, with more progressive conservatives and more conservative liberals It is important to work towards a future that is inclusive and respectful of different cultures and viewpoints The liberal mind is more optimistic and sees humanity as able to coexist peacefully The conservative mind is more realistic and pessimistic about human nature and values tradition and hierarchy The liberal mind values self-expression and individuality and wants every voice to be heard The conservative mind values suppressing self-expression in order to fit in with tradition The liberal mind values freedom and is willing to accept the costs of freedom The liberal mind is more revolutionary and willing to overthrow established structures in the name of equality The conservative mind values stability and order and is more resistant to change The liberal mind is more open to new ideas and experiences, while the conservative mind is more resistant to change and wants to preserve tradition The liberal mind values education and knowledge, while the conservative mind values practical skills and expertise The liberal mind is more likely to experience mental illness, suicide, and instability due to their willingness to challenge the status quo Technology will improve significantly in the future Need to work together and not be our own enemy

The current system of capitalism is not ideal and we should consider alternatives Environmentalism is important and ignoring the issue could have serious consequences Environmental issues contribute to global problems such as war and famine We can track and measure climate change and CO2 levels Addressing environmental issues can lead to new technologies and opportunities Delaying action on environmental issues could result in other countries taking the lead Income inequality is a major issue and needs to be addressed Political polarization is a problem and we need to find ways to bridge the divide Social media algorithms contribute to polarization and we need to be aware of their influence Education is important and we need to invest in it to create a better future Teleporting to the future and exploring New York City Having a year off to do whatever you want Having unlimited money and being able to do and buy whatever you want Society being radically open-minded and not threatened by new ideas and perspectives Wearing a uniform and not being able to express oneself through clothing Authority figures repressing and setting rules Living in a theocracy where government and church are mixed God being an infinitely liberal and open-minded consciousness Homework assignment: considering areas in life where one is liberal, idealistic and utopian, eager for progress and change, open to new experiences, self-expressive and artistic, open to radical new ideas, and optimistic about human nature Shaking head at rigid and closed-minded people Asking for feedback and being open to criticism. Something intelligent is happening, specifically survival, consciousness, and love How these things manifest and play out is worth studying Instead of listening to arguments on YouTube, study various subjects such as politics, history, and different ideologies (capitalism, socialism, Marxism) Separate good ideas from bad ideas in these ideologies Corruption exists in both capitalism and Marxism The speaker has spent the past five years studying history and political science and finds it interesting to apply abstract principles to human social dynamics Suggests reading sociology books and checking out the speaker's book list and blog for more information and resources

Understanding The Conservative Mind https://youtu.be/L2i4hUPjUO4 Introduction to a two-part series on understanding the conservative and liberal minds Aim of the series is to provide a deep and genuine understanding of the opposing worldview, not to advocate for any particular ideology or political position Both the conservative and liberal minds will be explored in a non-partisan, non-judgmental manner The goal is to understand the emotional appeal of both worldviews and why people are so passionate about them Warning that if only one part of the series is watched, it will give a skewed perspective Definition of the terms "conservative" and "liberal" in a broad sense Explanation that the conservative mind is not logical, but emotionally held at the core Overview of the key characteristics of the conservative mind, including: Hierarchy and tradition Respect for authority and the status quo Fear of change and the unknown Emphasis on individual responsibility and self-reliance Suspicion of government and intervention Nationalism and patriotism Focus on security, stability, and order Traditional gender roles and values Explanation that the conservative mind is not monolithic and that there are different strains and variations within it Discussion of the various factors that can influence the development of a conservative mind, including genetics, environment, and socialization Conclusion that understanding the conservative mind is important in order to have more productive and empathetic political discussions and to better understand and respect those with different worldviews. The brain can become desensitized to certain stimuli There are differences in how conservatives and liberals process information and react to situations Generally speaking, conservatives tend to have grown up in stricter, harsher environments with fewer resources and may benefit from the status quo This leads to a bias towards justifying and liking the status quo, based on how much it benefits the individual The conservative worldview also correlates with conscientiousness and closeness, which are two of the "Big Five" personality traits Liberal worldview tends to be more open and empathetic Both conservative and liberal minds can be self-biased and justify their beliefs The next episode will focus on the liberal worldview and its dynamics. Progressives and liberals view the military as strict and lacking in creativity Some people find peace and stability in the regimentation of the military Tsar Nicholas I tried to maintain order and stability during a chaotic transition in Russia Personal examples of a preference for order and structure (cleaning a room, going to the gym, organizing finances) Conservative mindset values safety and security over adventure and novelty Conservative mindset values tradition and preservation of the status quo Conservative mindset values family and community Conservative mindset values respect for authority and the established hierarchy Conservative mindset values individual responsibility and self-discipline Conservative mindset values hard work and self-sufficiency The speaker grew up in a difficult environment and had to fend for themselves The speaker believes that people who are looking for handouts should have to go through the same struggles and work hard to succeed in life, rather than relying on empathy and assistance from others Going through difficult ordeals and survival situations can toughen a person and build character The military requires discipline, self-reliance, and strictness in order to survive The speaker suggests that an over-reliance on handouts and a lack of rigorous standards can lead to a lack of discipline and skills The speaker presents this as one perspective and suggests that there are alternative perspectives that will be covered in a future episode. The speaker is discussing the difference between a conservative and liberal world view, specifically with regards to boundaries and metaphysics The conservative view is that boundaries, including gender, are fixed and should not be played with, as it can cause harm and confusion in society The liberal view is that boundaries are blurrable and can be changed at will, and that playing with these boundaries is not necessarily dangerous The conservative believes that playing with these boundaries, such as changing one's gender, could lead to harmful consequences and confusion in society The liberal believes that there is no danger in changing one's gender or inventing new genders The conservative argues that if one radically opens their mind, they may blur the lines between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors, such as having sex with children or animals The liberal may view these claims as a way of demonizing trans individuals The conservative perspective should not be dismissed as paranoid, as it is based on valid concerns about the potential dangers of blurring boundaries However, the conservative perspective can also be overplayed, and not all of their fears and insecurities may be warranted. Conservative mind tends to be less well-traveled, less worldly, and more isolated Generally less educated and less open to science and objective rationality Conservative mind values national identity, symbolism, and patriotism Conservative mind values loyalty and is more resistant to questioning the status quo Conservative mind tends to defend culture and has a strong identity with it Progressive mind tends to be more open to change and reform, and values equality and social justice Progressive mind tends to be more critical of the status quo and sees potential for improvement Progressive mind tends to value individual rights and freedoms over group cohesion and tradition Both conservative and progressive minds can be narrow-minded and closed off to new ideas or perspectives It is important to recognize and respect the differences between these two worldviews and not demonize one over the other. Discussing the difference between being a strict or permissive parent Conservative mindset values strictness and punishes rule-breakers Conservative mindset is more prone to violence and reacts aggressively to perceived threats Conservative mindset is less sentimental about war and more willing to use violence to maintain order Liberal mindset values empathy and leniency, and may prioritize personal freedom and self-expression over strict rules and order Liberal mindset may be more open to alternative ways of resolving conflicts and less inclined towards violence The author suggests considering where one falls on the spectrum of strictness vs. leniency and deciding which approach is the greater danger for raising children Freedom with regards to sex and vacation destination is dangerous Children should not have too much freedom in regards to sex, drugs, friends, and tattoos In a prison environment, empathy is not necessary and being too nice can be harmful Conservative mindset believes in self-interest and that an authoritarian leader is necessary in the workplace Liberal mindset believes in diplomacy and disarmament and investing in public education and healthcare Margin of error determines whether it is necessary to be conservative or liberal Protecting children requires caution and conservatism Non-sensitive matters, such as food choice, can be approached with a liberal mindset Conservative mindset is focused on tradition and the past, while liberal mindset is focused on progress and the future Both conservatism and liberalism have valid points and the appropriate mindset depends on the situation. The conservative mind tends to justify and defend existing systems, such as social hierarchies and class structures The conservative mind is less concerned about inequalities in society and happy with the status quo The conservative mind believes that some people are innately better and deserve to be at the top of the hierarchy The liberal mind believes in equality among humans, while the conservative mind sees humans as innately unequal in their capacity to generate value The conservative mind glorifies the nobility of man and believes in the right to exploit nature and animals The conservative mind is more tribalistic and fears outsiders, foreign threats, and influences The conservative mind is less tolerant and appreciative of diversity, seeing it as overwhelming and potentially dangerous The conservative mind values tradition and stability, while the liberal mind values progress and change There is no one right solution to conflicts, it depends on the context Conservative approach sees empathy and diplomacy as weak, while liberal approach sees toughness and aggression as dumb and cruel In some situations, like dealing with cavemen, force and brutality may be necessary Most scientists tend to be conservative in their approach to science, preserving the institution and being careful not to make mistakes and ruin their reputation This careful approach can lead to a narrow focus and a lack of groundbreaking discoveries A more liberal approach to understanding reality, while less rigorous and accurate, can allow for exploration of more abstract, paradoxical, and mystical subjects These approaches represent trade-offs and both have pros and cons It's important to find a balance and consider the specific context and situation when deciding on a course of action. Patriarchy is a reality and feminism can go too far by trying to over-equalize Transgenderism is confusing and can blur traditional gender boundaries, leading to confusion and a lack of strong identity for some people Atheism and secularism can lead to a materialistic, nihilistic society Socialism and Marxism are bad because they lead to government control and a lack of individual freedom Political correctness is harmful because it stifles free speech and honest discussions about important issues Multiculturalism is bad because it undermines a sense of national identity and pride, and can lead to cultural conflicts within a society. The speaker is conservative in their approach to spirituality and seeking enlightenment and truth in God They took this pursuit very seriously and were disciplined and honest with themselves about the effort it would take The speaker believes that it is important to be conservative in order to avoid underestimating the depth and difficulty of spiritual matters They want their audience to be aware of the potential pitfalls and obstacles in pursuing spirituality and to be afraid of wasting time with methods that may not lead to understanding God The speaker also experiences a sense of nostalgia and love for their family, culture, and heritage occasionally, which they associate with a conservative attitude They recognize that their bias may not be the one "true" or "right" way to approach spirituality or life, but it is their perspective based on their experiences and observations. Text discusses conservative worldview and warns against left-wing "straw man" arguments Author recommends finding intelligent articulations of conservative thought and mentions Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager as examples Author recommends watching a series of their own episodes, including "Conscious Politics," "How Society Evolves," "Spiral Dynamics," and "Understanding Democracy versus Authoritarianism" Author mentions combining consciousness, spirituality, philosophy, developmental psychology, and social and political issues in their episodes Author announces that they will be discussing the liberal mind in the next part of the series

An Intro To Serious Philosophy - Top Advice For Philosophers https://youtu.be/InmNW96qcUk Introduction to philosophy The speaker's background in philosophy Started in mid-teens, studied in university and beyond Taught themselves how to do philosophy outside of academia Able to turn philosophy into a successful career Has over two PhD's worth of independent study Tips and advice for philosophers Don't be fooled by appearances Reality is full of deceptive appearances A PhD is just a credential and does not guarantee understanding of reality or philosophy The speaker has reached an "absolute understanding of reality" or omniscience through philosophy Most philosophers believe omniscience is impossible The speaker will teach how to do deep, proper philosophy that leads to omniscience Philosophy should be a way of life, not just a subject studied in school Necessary qualities for a philosopher: critical thinking, open-mindedness, and dedication Importance of reading primary sources and avoiding mainstream philosophy Avoid getting caught up in "intellectual fads" Don't be afraid to challenge mainstream beliefs Don't be afraid to be wrong Philosophy should be a journey, not a destination Always be learning and seeking new knowledge The text discusses the limitations of an animal's understanding and consciousness, specifically focusing on the sun, a mouse, a worm, a fish, and humans The text also reflects on the limitations of human understanding, considering the vast amount of knowledge that humans did not know 2000 years ago and the possibility that humans may still have a limited understanding today The author reflects on their family's discussions about philosophical and existential topics, specifically mentioning an argument about the intelligence of elephants The author finds engaging in these conversations to be the most interesting and exciting aspect of life The text ends by discussing the importance of engaging in deep conversations and considering different perspectives. The speaker is disappointed by the university system and the academic bureaucracy The speaker decides to reject the university and academic system in order to pursue truth and genuine philosophy The speaker switches focus to video game design and becomes a professional video game designer The speaker starts their own business in order to achieve financial independence and creative freedom The speaker becomes self-educated and gets into personal development The speaker starts learning about dating and relationships, and becomes interested in philosophy again through listening to a philosophical pick-up artist named Owen Cook The speaker creates a database of philosophical concepts and starts making videos about these concepts on YouTube The speaker's YouTube channel becomes popular and they are able to make a living off of their philosophical content The speaker is able to pursue their own interests and share their ideas with others through their YouTube channel, and is no longer limited by the constraints of the university system or any other external forces. Philosophy is about asking fundamental questions and going deep Most people don't bother to question things and just accept the answers of science, religion, or other cultural conditioning Philosophy has two functions: personal development and understanding, and generating useful insights for mankind Personal development includes deriving joy from understanding things for their own sake Generating useful insights can include creating a better society, improving science, and reducing suffering The heart of philosophy is questioning Humans take questioning for granted, but we can do a deep inquiry into the nature of questioning itself The ultimate goal of philosophy is to understand reality and achieve wisdom Many people live shallow lives and only care about pleasure, sex, fame, success, money, and material possessions Philosophy can also be used to make money by finding principles that successful people follow and avoiding traps and mistakes that keep people poor Overview of various fields within philosophy, including science, religion, philosophy of mind, sociology, history, spirituality, mysticism, and language Importance of understanding one's own psychology in doing philosophy Distinction between speculation and belief, and the importance of critical thinking in philosophy Steps in the philosophy process: posing a question, gathering evidence, constructing an argument, and evaluating the argument Importance of asking good questions in philosophy Role of thought experiments in philosophy Use of logic and reasoning in philosophy Importance of being open to new ideas and perspectives in philosophy Need for persistence and perseverance in philosophy Importance of being humble and aware of one's own limitations in philosophy Philosophy is about exploring perspectives for their own sake, rather than trying to determine which perspective is "right" or "wrong" Good philosophers ask powerful questions and question all assumptions Making distinctions and learning how to collapse distinctions is crucial in philosophy Philosophy involves self-reflection, including observing and analyzing one's own biases, needs, fears, and cultural programming Going "meta" in philosophy means thinking about the act of thinking itself The "philosopher's attitude" is a way of approaching the world with curiosity and openness, rather than preconceived notions or beliefs The philosopher's toolkit includes introspection, mindfulness, self-awareness, and the ability to hold multiple conflicting ideas in one's mind at the same time Philosophy can be applied to any area of life, including love, business, finance, child-rearing, science, etc. Being a good philosopher requires discipline, focus, and the willingness to endure intellectual discomfort and uncertainty. Philosophy is not about subscribing to a specific ideology or philosopher The true measure of a philosopher is their understanding of themselves, mankind, the mind, consciousness, and reality Philosophy is not about proving things to others or making proofs The quality of philosophy should not be judged based on authority, credentials, or status Ideas can be bad regardless of the person who came up with them Philosophy should not be used as an escape from reality Testing philosophy in the real world is important The ultimate goal of philosophy is to understand reality Authority, credentials, and status should not be used to determine the quality of philosophy Close-mindedness can prevent people from accepting true ideas Ideas should be judged based on their own merit, not the person who came up with them Philosophy is a way to answer every question about reality and understand why everything exists as it does It is possible to answer these questions, but the answers are difficult to put into words Most philosophers do not succeed in properly doing philosophy, and often pretend they cannot understand the world's complexity "Pure philosophy" is a method of evaluating ideas based on their merit, without considering who said them or their history In pure philosophy, there is no debating, arguing, proving, debunking, or ideology; the goal is simply to understand reality as accurately as possible Every assumption about reality should be questioned and examined to see if it holds up Pure philosophy requires discipline and strict adherence to certain principles It is possible to achieve a deep understanding of reality through pure philosophy, but it requires a lot of hard work and perseverance Philosophy can be aided by using psychedelics To truly understand reality, one must commit to at least 100 psychedelic trips Ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle used psychedelics as part of their philosophical practices Keeping a commonplace book can be useful for philosophers Writing down major insights can help a philosopher remember and reflect on them Meditation practice and retreats can be important for philosophers Meditation helps calm the mind and focus inward on sensations Reading and studying philosophy can also be useful for philosophers Need to have a clear understanding of consciousness Be open-minded Enjoy the process of learning about ultimate truth Embody philosophy, don't just leave it as academic Beware of self-deception Try to generate practical insights Be an original thinker, don't just follow ancient philosophers Contemplate more than you read Don't get attached to any one school of philosophy Keep it simple and pure, focus on ideas and insights Don't get bogged down in technical language Don't be a know-it-all, there is always more to learn Don't be a skeptic or cynic, stay curious and open-minded Don't be too attached to your own beliefs and ego Don't worry about convincing others of your beliefs Practice self-inquiry and be honest with yourself Don't just study philosophy, live it and apply it to your life Philosophy can be both practical and worthwhile or it can turn into mental masturbation, depending on how it is approached Practical uses of philosophy include improving self-esteem, communication skills, relationships, and mental health The ultimate aim of philosophy is to achieve omniscience and absolute truth, which is the most worthwhile pursuit for a human and can lead to the happiest moment of one's life People cannot avoid philosophy, as they will be programmed by their environment, culture, and other influences if they do not engage in philosophy deliberately Doing philosophy deliberately does not guarantee good philosophy, but it does offer the chance to seek the ultimate truth and happiness Philosophy can be used to de-program the mind of toxic ideologies and conspiracy theories The choice to engage in philosophy deliberately is important for one's own personal growth and well-being. Philosophy requires integrity and embodiment, and should aim to transform the person practicing it One should briefly study all different philosophies that exist, and decide on what questions they are most interested in answering Start by engaging in independent contemplation, observing your own mind at work, and being honest with yourself about your biases and deceptions Judge your progress by the amount of time spent in contemplation, rather than just writing down notes The speaker recommends watching their episodes "How to Discover What's True" and "Deconstructing the Myth of Science" for further guidance on deep philosophical work The speaker is also working on an episode called "Bootstrapping" that will be relevant in the coming months. Engaging in toxic ideological debates, especially online, can be counterproductive and may lead to sucking others into a toxic ideology. It is important to also consider practical aspects of life, such as relationships, sex, business, art, and family life. Today is a good day to start practicing philosophy.

When Does The Left Go Too Far - Part 2 https://youtu.be/voXC0uYS9w8 The left goes wrong by not appreciating how attached people are to their culture and traditional way of living LGBTQ+ issues are a point where the left goes too far While there is a legitimate reason for supporting LGBTQ+ rights (tolerance and kindness towards non-standard identities), the left does not understand how this issue affects people on the right and even moderate Democrats and Republicans Many people are attached to traditional norms and the concept of LGBTQ+ is new and confusing to them The left's response that this discomfort is just bigotry is not accurate and does not address the legitimate confusion that many people may feel The left needs to be more sensitive to how these issues impact culture and the feelings of others, rather than just pushing for their own beliefs The left's push for cancel culture and de-platforming individuals with differing opinions also goes too far and is not productive in fostering understanding and dialogue The left needs to recognize the validity of other perspectives and work towards compromise and understanding, rather than just trying to shut down opposing viewpoints. Trade-offs have been denied or questioned in progressive and leftist circles, which has led to confusion and issues with men struggling to find their masculinity and women struggling with femininity This has also led to problems for women in finding suitable partners, as most women are attracted to masculine men It is important to recognize that traditional masculine and feminine gender roles should not be exclusive, but there should also be room for LGBTQ+ individuals and alternatives However, it is also important to recognize that the majority of people identify as heterosexual and traditional when it comes to gender and sexuality, and not acknowledging this can lead to problems for men and women who want to learn how to be proper men and women but are not taught effectively There are legitimate concerns and criticisms that can be raised about the LGBTQ+ community, such as issues related to inequality in sports and the transitioning of children and teens It is important to distinguish between legitimate criticism and bigotry, and not to dismiss all opposition or concerns raised about the LGBTQ+ community as bigotry or hatred There are nuanced issues related to the LGBTQ+ community that should be discussed and considered, rather than dismissing all opposition or criticism as illegitimate The speaker believes that allowing for fluidity in gender and sexual identity can lead to confusion and negative mental health outcomes The speaker also believes that the concept of gender fluidity has been largely deliberated in elite universities and then imposed on the rest of society without proper conversation and consensus The speaker suggests that minority and immigrant groups, particularly Hispanics and blacks, tend to be more conservative due to their traditional and religious cultures The speaker believes that Bernie Sanders did not win the Democratic nomination in the 2020 primary election because he did not appeal to minority and immigrant voters, who tend to be more conservative The speaker argues that the left has a tendency to prioritize the rights and needs of minority and immigrant groups over the needs and desires of the working class, which can be divisive and lead to backlash The speaker suggests that the left should focus on the needs and desires of the working class in order to be more successful and unite people across different groups The speaker believes that the left has a tendency to prioritize abstract and theoretical issues over concrete and practical issues, which can make them seem disconnected from the everyday concerns of the average person The speaker argues that the left should focus more on practical and concrete issues, such as job creation and infrastructure, in order to be more appealing and effective. The speaker believes that the polarization between the left and right wings is causing a potential civil war The speaker argues that both sides are becoming more extreme and that the right wing's extremism is more dangerous, although this is debatable The speaker suggests that the left wing becomes more extreme in response to the right wing's shift towards extremism The speaker proposes an alternative way of looking at politics, called "conscious politics," which is non-ideological and non-partisan, but also not afraid to call out extreme views The speaker believes that adopting this perspective can help to reduce polarization and prevent a potential civil war The speaker encourages the left wing to consider this perspective rather than demonizing those who present it as simply being moderate or centrist. There is a trend where progressives assume all Republicans are "Mega Republicans" (extreme) In reality, there are many moderate and reasonable Republicans, such as those often found on CNN and MSNBC (e.g. David from Joe Scarborough, Joe Walsh, Liz Cheney) These moderate Republicans have integrity and are not as extreme as the "Maga people," who are shameless and lack integrity and interest in truth Progressives often demonize these moderate Republicans and say that their policies are just as bad as Trump's, but decorum and integrity are important in politics and should not be dismissed as merely surface-level appearances There are more moderate Republicans with integrity than is often recognized, and media has failed to adequately highlight their existence The extreme behavior of Trump and his followers has drowned out the voices of moderate Republicans and taken up all the attention in the media It is important to recognize and give credit to moderate Republicans with integrity, as they are necessary for healthy politics Political polarization and extremism is a problem and needs to be addressed by both parties Life is both easier and harder than in the past Today's society is spoiled and ungrateful While it is true that successful, decadent societies can lead to weakness and spoilage, there are also problems with late stage capitalism that make survival difficult for younger generations The human psyche needs challenges and suffering to grow and mature Removing challenges from life may lead to a society of lazy, unambitious individuals Hierarchies can be useful, but some are toxic and need to be reformed or changed Stage green tends to want to level hierarchies without understanding their purpose or utility Hierarchies in America are often merit-based, but not always Leftists tend to portray hierarchies as systems of oppression, corruption, capitalism, and special privilege, but this is not always true Leftists also tend to hold everything as relative and socially constructed, but this can be taken too far Not all cultures and value systems are equal Some cultures are better than others in terms of producing positive outcomes Leftists should be careful not to reject all hierarchies or label everything as relative and socially constructed Absolute truth exists, even though some things are relative and socially constructed Leftists should be careful not to reject objective truth or reality in their pursuit of social justice. Society is complex and any successful social structure has gone through many iterations of trial and error Leftist ideas for utopian public policy may not work and could even backfire Marxism may not eliminate poverty and could create more poverty than capitalism Leftists may be too arrogant in thinking they can socially engineer their way out of problems Workplace democracy may not work in practice and could lead to cooperatives being unable to compete with other corporations Not all religion and spirituality is fundamentalist and stupid Atheism, secularism, and rationalism are fundamentally wrong Marx's materialism is also wrong and based on Hegel's idealism Modern society has adopted a materialist metaphysics that is not an advantage The left needs to recognize the limitations of reason and embrace spirituality Modern society is too obsessed with individualism and needs to recognize the importance of community The left needs to recognize the limitations of the state and not rely on it as the solution to all problems The left needs to recognize the limitations of science and technology and not blindly trust in them The left needs to recognize the importance of tradition and not reject it outright The left needs to recognize the importance of human nature and not try to change it completely The left needs to recognize the importance of morality and not abandon it in the pursuit of progress. The left's pacifism can backfire if other countries do not respect it and become aggressive The left can go too far with cancel culture and political correctness, canceling people for minor offenses and applying current moral standards to the past Leftists can be easily offended and triggered, making them appear weak and sensitive Right-wingers can also be easily offended and triggered People should not be canceled for making jokes, even if they are offensive Wearing blackface was once acceptable but is now not, but people should not be canceled for doing it in the past It is important to recognize and work to eliminate systemic racism, but individuals should not be so easily offended by minor insults and offenses Leftists should strive to become tougher and not be so easily offended The left's focus on identity politics can be a problem, as it divides people and leads to tribalism The left should focus on class and economic issues instead of identity politics The left should also be more open to discussion and hearing different viewpoints, rather than canceling or demonizing those with opposing viewpoints The left should be more aware of their own biases and the potential for their ideology to become extremist There are different levels of cultural development and values, represented by stages green, orange, blue, red, and purple Imposing a higher stage value system on a lower stage culture can be problematic and may not work Examples of this include criticism of Middle Eastern countries by stage green feminists, and attempts at democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan Space exploration is a valuable and aspirational pursuit that gives people a sense of awe and purpose, and also leads to technological advancements The constant complaining and criticism of the left can be grating and annoying, and may come from a place of ingratitude There is a lack of willingness to compromise on the left, and an unwillingness to acknowledge when good things are done or progress is made The left often focuses on divisive identity politics, rather than trying to unite people and find common ground There is a tendency on the left to rely on the government to solve problems, rather than empowering individuals to take responsibility and make positive change Importance of understanding conservative worldview in order to avoid problems and conflicts in political discussions Analogy of marriage counseling as a model for resolving conflicts and understanding each other's viewpoints Importance of listening to each other in good faith and not demonizing or vilifying the other side Political situation in America cannot be resolved through divorce or separation, need to find ways to coexist peacefully Upcoming episodes on understanding conservative and liberal viewpoints Previous series on conscious politics and importance of non-partisan, unbiased discussions Purpose of channel is to offer rare, advanced discussions on politics and to encourage open-mindedness and understanding of different viewpoints Importance of creating space for this kind of work in order to move beyond closed-minded, partisan systems.

When Does The Left Go Too Far - Part 1 https://youtu.be/xAKThCSh5Hs Introduction to non-ideological look at problems within progressive politics Importance of progressives calling out problems within their own beliefs and perspectives Personal history of criticizing both left and right wing ideologies and studying American and world politics The dangers of the right wing are more obvious, but the left can be more dangerous because its problems are not as obvious Overview of common criticisms of the left: overly sensitive, cancel culture, victimhood mentality, intolerance of dissent, lack of self-reflection and honesty, lack of empathy, oversimplification of complex issues Discussion of specific examples of these criticisms, including examples of cancel culture, intolerance of dissent, and oversimplification of complex issues Conclusion that it is important for the left to be self-critical and open to hearing and addressing its own problems in order to evolve to a higher level of politics. The speaker has had experience with people of different ethnicities and cultures, and while they may still have cultural preferences, they are comfortable being around people who are different from them Many people in the speaker's community may not be as comfortable or experienced with different cultures, and may feel uncomfortable or culture shocked when exposed to them The speaker believes that rapid cultural change caused by immigration can lead to the majority of people in a community becoming angry and supporting fascist movements as a reaction The speaker thinks that progressives are often naive about the discomfort and fear that rapid cultural change can cause in some people, and that labeling them as racist or xenophobic only makes the problem worse The speaker suggests that racism should be thought of as ethnocentrism, which is the tendency to favor one's own culture over others, and that this is a natural tendency that cannot be eliminated but can be limited The speaker believes that progressive politics should take into account the reality that many people have strong cultural preferences and are nationalistic, and should try to address these issues in a realistic and understanding way rather than labeling them as racist or xenophobic. The idea that people can simply "flip a switch" and become comfortable with different cultures is incorrect Progressive politics often involves calling people racist or bigoted, which is not helpful and causes them to become defensive The left often demonizes and smears the police, but policing is a difficult and dangerous job and most police officers do their job well There are instances of police corruption and brutality, but they should not be blown out of proportion and all police officers should not be painted as corrupt or brutal Police reform is necessary, but demonizing the police is not the way to achieve it Progressive politics often involves a lack of nuance and a tendency to oversimplify complex issues This lack of nuance leads to a lack of understanding of the root causes of problems and a focus on superficial solutions The left needs to move beyond "green politics" and into a more nuanced understanding of issues to be more effective This includes having compassion for people's struggles and understanding that people are not always in control of their biases and prejudices Progressives should focus on creating long-term solutions rather than quick fixes or superficial changes. The speaker advises progressives to focus on their own problems and weaknesses rather than criticizing conservatives It is important to take responsibility for solving one's own problems and to develop oneself In politics, everyone points out others' problems but nobody takes responsibility for solving their own internal problems It is important to understand and make peace with conservatives, as they are not going away and progressives will have to live and work with them Progressives should engage with and try to understand the worldviews of conservatives, rather than labeling them as bigots, homophobes, etc. Understanding the perspective of others does not mean compromising with "the Devil" or accepting harmful beliefs It is important to strive for conscious politics and to think critically about one's own beliefs Refusing to engage with those who hold different beliefs can lead to group polarization and can harm progress Progressives should strive to have open and honest dialogue with conservatives, even if it is difficult or uncomfortable. A person (Leo) is speaking from a non-ideological place and is not a neoliberal centrist or Bill Clinton type Progressives often demonize centrists and deny the existence of moderate conservatism Socialism has failed in the past, but it could potentially work in the future It is important to be honest about the failures of socialism and consider the possibility that it may never work Systems (capitalism, socialism, libertarianism) are complicated and cannot be predicted to work or not work based on ideals alone, but rather on how they work in practice It is important to consider both the pros and cons of each system and not just focus on the pros of one's preferred system Tier two is a concept that goes beyond the categories of far right, moderate right, centrism, moderate left, and progressivism Some progressives are too quick to demonize and may not understand the concept of tier two The "new no true Scotsman" argument is when one claims that failures of a certain system (such as socialism) were not "true" examples of the system, and therefore not representative of its inherent problems It is important to keep an open mind and consider different viewpoints, rather than immediately dismissing them as wrong or demonizing those who hold them. Most companies are not run by sociopaths Sociopaths may be able to rise to power in a company if they are generating value for the organization and its stakeholders Progressives may have a problem with being too idealistic and moralistic because their survival is secured The reality of survival is that sometimes people have to make difficult decisions in order to survive A person's survival can change the dynamic of their decision making, for example a person with children may be more willing to work for a rapist in order to provide for their family The concept of "idiot compassion" refers to when someone is too compassionate and does not consider the practical consequences of their actions It is important to balance compassion with practicality in order to effectively help others. Two people work for 10 years, one works hard and smart while the other works lazily and not very intelligently The first person builds a castle while the second person builds a shack Both people want to start a new project, like building a temple, but the person with the castle is in a better position because they have more capital and can support and pay for more people Most capital nowadays comes from loans from banks, but originally came from human labor Some people are more productive and generate more capital It's also important to manage capital wisely, as someone who makes poor investments may end up broke while someone who makes wise investments may end up with more capital than they started with Marxists and socialists view this inequality as a mistake, but it is not a mistake, it is the natural result of differences in work and investment Capital is not a bad thing, it is a necessary part of creating new businesses and products The issue is not with capital itself, but with the corrupt and unfair systems that can prevent people from accumulating capital through their own efforts Defense contractors and businesses, including YouTubers, have externalities that can have negative consequences It is difficult to do business or create new technology without externalities While certain countries have developed the idea of "virtual rights" or pseudo rights like free health care and shelter, these are not guaranteed in nature and have required significant struggle and suffering over time to achieve Progressives often act as though these rights should already be in place and are not patient in working towards them Instead of demonizing businesses for externalities, it is important to focus on how to manage them There are no inherent rights to things like free health care, shelter, food, or happiness, but it is a worthwhile goal to work towards providing them for all people The best way to create a just society is to focus on creating opportunity and allowing people to succeed through hard work and merit It is important to acknowledge that there will always be some level of inequality in any society and to focus on finding ways to mitigate its negative effects rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. The speaker believes that being careless with finances as a government and civilization is problematic and can lead to serious problems in the future The speaker is sympathetic to being fiscally conservative and prefers a balanced budget where bankruptcy and defaulting on loans are not concerns The speaker believes that even the fear of inflation can destabilize the economy and cause people to not invest in their businesses The speaker believes that conservatives often misuse their stance on fiscal conservatism and will refuse to pass helpful policies in the name of fiscal conservatism, but will allocate funds for their own pet projects The speaker believes that Democrats would benefit from being more fiscally conservative The speaker believes that profit motive in the private sector promotes competition and innovation, but can also be toxic if taken too far The speaker believes that socialism removes the profit motive, which can lead to a lack of ambition and innovation in government-run bureaucracies The speaker believes that socialism is not a viable option because it has never been successful in the long term and has led to authoritarian regimes The speaker believes that capitalism, while not perfect, has proven to be the most successful economic system and has helped lift people out of poverty The speaker believes that capitalism needs to be regulated to prevent the negative consequences of an unregulated market, such as the 2008 financial crisis The speaker believes that taxes are necessary to fund government services, but that the current tax system is inefficient and disproportionately affects the middle class and small businesses The speaker believes that the current tax system needs to be reformed to be more fair and efficient. There needs to be appreciation for nationalism, national identity, and protectionism (protecting national interests) Leftists/progressives have been too neglectful in this area Trump's "America First" message was appealing because it addresses concerns about prioritizing the globe over one's own country Excessive globalization in the 90s and 2000s has contributed to the rise of nationalism and even fascism Nationalism is a necessary stage of development, but it can be taken too far and turn into Nazism Nationalism should be balanced with globalism, and national identities should not be taken for granted National identities are created through conflict, war, and other negative events It is important to moderate nationalism and evolve past it to a global perspective Globalization needs to be approached with caution and consideration of its effects on national identities and economic systems Both the left and the right need to recognize the importance of nationalism and find a balance between globalism and nationalism. Progressive populist wants to help blue collar and rural people Wants to ensure they are not exploited by capitalists and are paid better Socialism promises these groups more negotiating power against employers However, people do not vote based on policies, but rather on vibe and values alignment People fear change, growth, and evolution and resist it Navigating and managing these fears is important in conscious politics Progressive policies may not be understood or appreciated by people, who are more concerned with how they feel about the person proposing them Example of progressive policies not being understood: Trump passes tax cuts for the rich, but rural blue collar people do not see this as going against their own interests Example of people voting based on vibe: Trump presents a "good old red blooded American vibe" while Elizabeth Warren is seen as an "elitist nagging bitching Urban college professor" Suggestion to consider how to present policies in a way that addresses people's fears and values, rather than just expecting them to understand and accept them Mule analogy used to illustrate resistance to change and the need to persuade rather than push people towards new ideas

Understanding The Exquisite Balance Of Life https://youtu.be/DJF3uBI0sT0 Understanding the balance of life from a more profound perspective Balance is a fundamental feature of reality, constantly being struck by Consciousness Definitions of "exquisite" and "sublime" Scientists appreciate the importance of balance in nature, but don't fully understand its depth Balance is not just an accident, but a result of Consciousness and intelligence The more conscious and spiritually developed a person becomes, the more they will recognize and appreciate the balance in the universe Balance is necessary for life and the functioning of the universe Examples of balance in nature, such as the cycles of life and death and the balance of yin and yang The importance of balance in personal development and relationships The role of balance in spiritual growth and enlightenment The concept of "as above, so below" and how balance is reflected in the microcosm and macrocosm The need to strive for balance in all aspects of life The exchange of gases between plants, humans, and animals must be balanced for sustainability Nutrients must also be balanced in order for plants and animals to survive The balance of our solar system, including the balance of its planets and moons, is crucial for its stability and longevity There are trillions of chemical reactions happening within a single organism that are necessary for proper function Our bodies have asymmetrical organs that must be balanced in order to function properly There is a balance in all aspects of the universe, including human conflict and ecosystems To reach a higher level of consciousness, we must appreciate and understand the balance in the world around us Conformity should not be confused with true balance True balance does not mean fitting into a dysfunctional system or being neutral in situations where moral action is needed Balance is dynamic and constantly evolving, not static True balance involves making conscious choices and taking responsibility for them God's balance involves all the finite parts of itself, including the physical and spiritual realms True balance involves both action and stillness, and finding a balance between the two True balance involves being aware of and in tune with one's thoughts, emotions, and actions True balance involves being in tune with the present moment and not getting caught up in the past or worrying about the future True balance involves finding a balance between individual needs and the needs of the collective True balance involves being honest and authentic with oneself and others True balance involves being open to change and growth, and being willing to let go of certain things in order to find balance True balance involves finding a balance between self-care and service to others. Shirking responsibility can lead to negative consequences Example given of not fighting Hitler leading to his takeover of the world and eventual killing of those who did not take action Even in a scenario where Hitler takes over the world and kills many people, the imbalance will eventually be balanced out by other means (e.g. natural causes, revolution, intervention from aliens) The universe is perfectly balanced by a higher intelligence and cannot become catastrophically imbalanced It is possible to become conscious of this governing intelligence and understand the perfection of the universe The ego often wants to hold onto the idea that the universe is not perfectly balanced, as it allows for a sense of control and the belief that one can fix imbalances through their own actions Allowing the ego to believe it is in control can lead to suffering, as it will constantly be striving for an impossible level of control True balance and peace come from surrendering the ego's desire for control and understanding the perfection of the universe as it is. The consequences of acting in a way that goes against balance can be severe and harmful to both the individual and society Some people justify their actions by claiming they are restoring balance to the world, but this can lead to delusions and harmful behavior Even when acting in a selfish or "devilish" way, the universe is still perfectly balanced on a meta level Selfishness can be self-defeating and lead to regret and self-hatred Selflessness is the key to receiving help from God and being connected to love The design of the universe is infinitely intelligent and perfectly self-balancing in the long run. Developing balance involves developing intuition, which is a non-algorithmic source of intelligence that allows you to tap into the intelligence of the universe To become more balanced, it is important to handle basic survival cravings and needs, such as shelter, food, and sex, and to "burn through" as much Karma as possible by satisfying these cravings and then transcending them Another way to develop balance is through Awakenings, or experiences of higher states of consciousness that bring you into contact with infinite intelligence Balancing the mind and emotions through meditation can help you to become mindful of when you are experiencing cravings or being driven by emotions, rather than being at the effect of them Imbalance leads to pathology, dysfunction, ugliness, suffering, unsustainability, and death, and can be observed in the current political system in America and around the world The devil has a backwards view of balance, and sees balance as imbalance and vice versa To maintain balance, it is important to be honest and authentic, to seek the truth, and to live in harmony with the natural world and with others. The prevalence of mental disorders, including ADD, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, is increasing Mental disorders are caused by imbalances in the mind and in society, as well as pollutants in the food supply Cults and conspiracy theories are examples of imbalances Imbalance can also be seen in physical disorder, such as a messy living space The aesthetic of Zen represents balance and harmony People who proclaim to be fair and balanced may actually be the least fair and balanced The current state of the world may be an example of absolute balance The concept of balance is subjective and can vary from person to person The goal should be to strive for personal balance and harmony, rather than trying to impose one's views of balance on others. The speaker shares private pictures and information on a forum for like-minded people interested in metaphysical topics The speaker can be supported on Patreon to help keep the channel free from corporate influence The speaker advises viewers to be balanced in their consumption of self-help theory and to use action to break out of being stuck in theory mode The speaker has over 100 new episodes planned, some of which will cover new material It is important to stay informed on theory but also to take action on it in order to see benefits in one's life

How Socialization Makes You Stupid - Problems With Conformity & Group-Think https://youtu.be/gaI1OXly7EE The dangers of conformity and group-think The speaker's experience with socialization and observations about its effects on their mind The speaker's struggle with socialization and realization that it goes against their values and interferes with their authenticity, original thinking, and pursuit of truth The idea that it is possible to socialize while still maintaining values and being authentic, but that it requires effort and may have hidden costs The concept of "socialization brainwashing," in which socialization pressures individuals to conform to certain values and beliefs Examples of socialization brainwashing, including the way schools and mass media promote certain viewpoints and the way social groups influence individuals' beliefs and behavior The idea that socialization can make individuals "stupid" by limiting their thinking and inhibiting their ability to think critically and independently The importance of maintaining a degree of independence and critical thinking in order to avoid being swayed by group-think and conformity The potential consequences of blindly following social norms and group beliefs, including the suppression of individuality and the potential for harm to oneself and others. On average, women are more social creatures than men Intellectual geniuses of history tend to be reclusive men (example given of Einstein, Newton, Tesla) Socialization takes time and energy away from intellectual pursuits When socializing, you become the average of the minds you are socializing with Even if you are socializing with intelligent people, you are subscribing to group think and conformity Socializing has a cost and trade-off, and it's important to understand and make a conscious choice about whether to accept those trade-offs It's important to find your own balance between socializing and solitude, and this balance may change at different points in life Being more social means more social conditioning and less original thought, and being more solitary means more time and space for original thought It's important to find a balance that works for you, and to be aware of the trade-offs associated with socializing. Groupthink occurs when people in a group do not think independently and instead bounce ideas off each other in an echo chamber This happens because it is difficult and stressful to think independently, and it is easier to follow the herd and trust in a leader Humans survive in a herd and construct self-serving narratives together, creating a synthetic augmented reality that becomes indistinguishable from physical reality Survival is shaped by the herd or tribe one is part of, and this can constrain and limit one's mind and intelligence, but also provide benefits such as education It is important to consider the costs and constraints that come with positioning oneself within society, such as working at Starbucks or becoming a professor at a university It is important to think about how one's position in society will impact their values and priorities, and to consider alternatives to traditional career paths One should strive to maintain their individuality and autonomy, and not be afraid to think and act independently It is important to be aware of one's own biases and the biases of the group, and to actively seek out diverse perspectives. The social matrix misdefines intelligence Intelligence is often equated with success, survival, socialization, academia, and left brain calculation abilities The speaker wants to redefine intelligence to include wisdom and love The speaker believes that if an action is not wise and loving, it cannot be considered intelligent The speaker believes that intelligence should align with infinite intelligence, which is wise and loving The speaker believes that society's current understanding of intelligence does not include this connection to infinite intelligence The speaker believes that true intelligence includes selflessness and the highest intelligence is love The speaker believes that society's current definition of intelligence is incomplete and needs to be revised to align with infinite intelligence Developing mastery of the mind requires practice and cannot be achieved solely through shutting off the mind or accessing non-dual states The mind is a powerful and dangerous tool that can be mastered through practice Other minds and culture can influence and affect one's own thoughts Avoid parroting phrases and ideas that are not your own, especially within the spiritual community Notice how the need for social survival can pressure one to conform to group think Engage in practices that allow for original, high quality thinking Cultivate deep intelligence by understanding things deeply and properly Develop the ability to jailbreak the mind and understand high levels of abstraction and relativity Practice meditation and mindfulness as a means of improving thinking processes Modern society offers a lot of freedom and tools for creators and innovators However, it is also easy to become distracted and conform to the "social matrix" To avoid becoming a "zombie" and to live a fulfilling life, it is important to think original thoughts and spend time alone thinking Reading books and watching videos, and listening to gurus can be helpful, but it is not the same as thinking original thoughts To practice thinking original thoughts, try picking a subject and thinking about it from scratch without consulting external sources Make a habit of regularly setting aside time for original thinking It is important to balance socialization and alone time to live a fulfilling life Contemplating God is important, but it's also important to have fun and be silly sometimes Don't use deep intelligence as an excuse to judge or criticize others for having fun or being social Don't rely on God to solve problems like loneliness, instead take action to create connections in your life Distinguish between shallow and deep non-conformity Shallow non-conformity is when you join a group or movement without thinking independently Deep non-conformity is when you pursue things you genuinely love and don't compromise your values and priorities Be careful not to demonize the mainstream or subscribe to conspiracy theories Don't turn Actualized.org into a trap, it's meant to be a resource for personal growth and development, not a replacement for original thinking
