I am aware, the solopsim video is very clear: is easy to create a atom as is to create an elephant, if there is no "other" to ask how to do it. The video is actually showing how smart the mind is on creating confortable backstories to ground up reality.

Is not in what most of our time is engaged? in use of language to trying to express the inexpressible? We co-opt language unaware of how it became a shape-shifter of reality and more of an hidrance them a revelatory techonology: https://conversational-leadership.net/myth-of-thamus-and-theuth/ Have you ever considered the consequences of the invention of writing? Has it weakened the necessity and power of memory and allowed for the pretense of understanding rather than true understanding? When we think about humankind’s evolution, starting some 200,000 years ago, particular inventions were a significant step forward for our species. The invention, or should I say the evolution of spoken language, the development of writing, the creation of the printing press, and then more recently, the Internet and the World Wide Web were major information/knowledge revolutions. But have you ever thought that some of these inventions might have been bad? Well, maybe not bad, but they came with unintended consequences to which we have been mostly blind. We are well aware of some of the World Wide Web’s unintended consequences, such as fake news propagated by social media. What about writing? What about the invention of writing itself? And, of course, reading – the two go hand in hand. Socrates questioned the wisdom of the invention of writing over 2,000 years ago and made up a little story, the Myth of Thamus and Theuth, that he told Plato in the Phaedrus. THE MYTH In the Phaedrus, a book by Plato about 370 BCE, Plato records a discussion between Socrates and Phaedrus about the Egyptian myth of Thamus and Theuth concerning the invention of writing. In the conversation, Socrates criticizes writing for weakening the necessity and power of memory and allowing the pretense of understanding rather than true understanding. THE STORY This is the full story from Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus 14, 274c-276a: Socrates: [274c] I can tell something I have heard of the ancients, but whether it is true, they only know. But if we ourselves should find it out, should we care any longer for human opinions? Phaedrus: A ridiculous question! But tell me what you say you have heard. Socrates: I heard, then, that at Naucratis, in Egypt, was one of the ancient gods of that country, the one whose sacred bird is called the ibis, and the name of the god himself was Theuth. He it was who [274d] invented numbers and arithmetic and geometry and astronomy, also draughts and dice, and, most important of all, letters. Now the king of all Egypt at that time was the god Thamus, who lived in the great city of the upper region, which the Greeks call the Egyptian Thebes, and they call the god himself Ammon. To him came Theuth to show his inventions, saying that they ought to be imparted to the other Egyptians. But Thamus asked what use there was in each, and as Theuth enumerated their uses, expressed praise or blame, according as he approved [274e] or disapproved. The story goes that Thamus said many things to Theuth in praise or blame of the various arts, which it would take too long to repeat; but when they came to the letters, “This invention, O king,” said Theuth, “will make the Egyptians wiser and will improve their memories; for it is an elixir of memory and wisdom that I have discovered.” But Thamus replied, “Most ingenious Theuth, one man has the ability to beget arts, but the ability to judge of their usefulness or harmfulness to their users belongs to another; and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power the opposite of that which they really possess. For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will, therefore, seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with since they are not wise, but only appear wise. Phaedrus: Socrates, you easily make up stories of Egypt or any country you please. Socrates: They used to say, my friend, that the words of the oak in the holy place of Zeus at Dodona were the first prophetic utterances. The people of that time, not being so wise as you young folks, were content in their simplicity to hear an oak or a rock, provided only it spoke the truth; but to you, perhaps, it makes a difference who the speaker is and where he comes from, for you do not consider only whether his words are true or not. https://mast-producing-trees.org/the-strength-of-zeus-the-oak-tree/ Phaedrus: Your rebuke is just; and I think the Theban is right in what he says about letters. Socrates: He who thinks, then, that he has left behind him any art in writing, and he who receives it in the belief that anything in writing will be clear and certain, would be an utterly simple person, and in truth ignorant of the prophecy of Ammon, if he thinks written words are of any use except to remind him who knows the matter about which they are written. Phaedrus: Very true. Socrates: Writing, Phaedrus, has this strange quality, and is very like painting; for the creatures of painting stand like living beings, but if one asks them a question, they preserve a solemn silence. And so it is with written words; you might think they spoke as if they had intelligence, but if you question them, wishing to know about their sayings, they always say only one and the same thing. And every word, when once it is written, is bandied about, alike among those who understand and those who have no interest in it, and it knows not to whom to speak or not to speak; when ill-treated or unjustly reviled it always needs its father to help it; for it has no power to protect or help itself. Phaedrus: You are quite right about that, too. Socrates: Now tell me; is there not another kind of speech, or word, which shows itself to be the legitimate brother of this bastard one, both in the manner of its begetting and in its better and more powerful nature? Phaedrus: What is this word and how is it begotten, as you say? Socrates: The word which is written with intelligence in the mind of the learner, which is able to defend itself and knows to whom it should speak, and before whom to be silent. Phaedrus: You mean the living and breathing word of him who knows, of which the written word may justly be called the image. Socrates: Exactly. Now tell me this. Would a sensible husbandman, who has seeds which he cares for and which he wishes to bear fruit, plant them with serious purpose in the heat of summer in some garden of Adonis, and delight in seeing them appear in beauty in eight days, or would he do that sort of thing, when he did it at all, only in play and for amusement? Would he not, when he was in earnest, follow the rules of husbandry, plant his seeds in fitting ground, and be pleased when those which he had sowed reached their perfection in the eighth month? Phaedrus: Yes, Socrates, he would, as you say, act in that way when in earnest and in the other way only for amusement. Socrates: And shall we suppose that he who has knowledge of the just and the good and beautiful has less sense about his seeds than the husbandman? Phaedrus: By no means. Socrates: Then he will not, when in earnest, write them in ink, sowing them through a pen with words which cannot defend themselves by argument and cannot teach the truth effectually. Phaedrus: No, at least, probably not. Socrates: No. The gardens of letters he will, it seems, plant for amusement, and will write, when he writes, to treasure up reminders for himself, when he comes to the forgetfulness of old age, and for others who follow the same path, and he will be pleased when he sees them putting forth tender leaves. When others engage in other amusements, refreshing themselves with banquets and kindred entertainments, he will pass the time in such pleasures as I have suggested. Phaedrus: A noble pastime, Socrates, and a contrast to those base pleasures, the pastime of the man who can find amusement in discourse, telling stories about justice, and the other subjects of which you speak. Socrates: Yes, Phaedrus, so it is; but, in my opinion, serious discourse about them is far nobler, when one employs the dialectic method and plants and sows in a fitting soul intelligent words which are able to help themselves and him who planted them, which are not fruitless, but yield seed from which there spring up in other minds other words capable of continuing the process forever, and which make their possessor happy, to the farthest possible limit of human happiness. Phaedrus: Yes, that is far nobler. Socrates: And now, Phaedrus, since we have agreed about these matters, we can decide the others. Phaedrus: What others? Socrates: Those which brought us to this point

this i think hits the point of explaning how the incentive structure is addicted : https://edition.cnn.com/videos/media/2022/01/30/conflict-entrepreneurs-amanda-ripley-stelter-rs-vpx.cnn Conflict entreprenours earn from conflict

the video touch in themes of isolation, loss of community feeling in amaericans , how community and hyperindividualism rise and fall, the topic of conflict entreprenours on media "those who gain with everthing going bad" about loss of commom goals and values on many areas and about politics becoming a bad way of self therapy , since politics add a false sense of belonging, false moral ground and false moral action, where people thing that venting on tik tok is a way of doing their part

Man, what a woman want is to feel safe to be in her feminine essence and man who gives container for that dont aways be nice, because a lot o nice guys in history simply dont survive, so is a primal pulse there, and men in their side have a pulse or inner primal urge to be usefull so look for woman who allow them to express this leadership role if of course he embody this, and woman have a especial snif when man is just fake nicety to get her approval, they smell the fake facade of nicety as a guy who later will prove to not being a protective, caring space holder for her.

Found this very usefull to check where am I stand in the so called " seeking path"

If you do Psycadelics, attention to you Microbioma links speak by themselfs: make you study, no matter how you wish to circunavigate your body with affirmations of "there is no body". The truth is that in the end of the day you need to deal with your body and all that is included on it, mostly bacterias. I tell this because I reached the point of dysbiosis by not being aware that even psycadelics have a Taxing on the body. It helps but also can cause imbalances if you dont be carefull https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10443327/

Then after listening that podcast and infusing yourself with the vibe of her voice, listen Dan Koe and feel the difference, not about judgement, just seeimg that feminine presence have a taste and masculine another. Not to say some man cant be feminine to or woman more with a Dan Koe vibe but normaly there is a difference on the tonality or presence. And Actually even Dan Koe for sure would never lose time here reading some of the low grade sht.. you guys write. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ZcTH88VMYHeNHuSkPDnys?si=HwzrvyQFTh-We_Ud3BaR5A

Most women, at least the sane and embodied and connected one would be sick of most of the non sense talks on this forum. i get sick of it myself occasionaly.

The first Video of Jonatham BI lost me when he said that Girdard belive that our World will collapse. Not that I dont recognize we have problems but if the end conclusion of Rene is this Distopic view I have nothing to do with his ideas

I never did one of this Retreats but my experience with Kundalini is from working for years with Ayahusca that have a big connection with Snakes, the indigenous even call it the Medicine of the Boa Constrictor, and if you ever did a ceremony with it or will ever do, you will understand why it have connection with Snakes, even the Vine from where it comes is a Vine that grows around trees, so int have this Spiral Up spirit and inside of you Blood it manifest as very powerfull energy up , and sometimes vibrating and maybe vomiting if there are blockages to be released. In case one can or dont want to go to Jungles to drink it , there are also the possibility to do a retreat with practicioners who will use probably Breathwork to Activate the Energy and it will manifest. I would recommend it specialy for people who want to have an Embodied Experience insteasd of staying to much in th Mind and later not bein g able to emobdy into real daily life : Would help many intelectuals here

Well, for me this was aways so clear. We have people for example that are just born beautifull, not subjectively beautifull, considered beautifull for any obsever. Same with inteligence, why would be different with inteligence? There are people who since kids seems like endowed with great levels of insigth and even better if is a winner in the sperm lottery. So, why the system is so structured as everybody was born with the same capacity? We have schools for disable people why not have different education systems for people with less advantages in the intelligent level so they could get a leverage from where they are instead of needing to compete in vain with others who arbitraly were born from lucky wombs? No, is society would admit it it would need to deal with it and find ways for the less able to have the same possibility to reach high level inteligence, for exemple to check if some kids would need nootropic support like lions mane mushrooms and other plants to give them them the extra brain boost to be able to level up and have more chances in the Bell Curve. Everyone need to pass in the Bell, but not everyone are equiped to pass it smoothly.
