Anyone who thinks Nas is just making good points in general is a deceiver.

Great video. I love that the person rebutting him is a Palestinian who lives in the West Bank. Nas is a classic example of Stockholm Syndrome. Anyone who thinks he's just making good points in general is a deceiver.

So evolution has not removed the primitive animal instincts in humans, but if animals were given intelligence, evolution would favor them enough to also remove their primitive behaviors too. Yea, I’m highly skeptical of that.

Amen.

That would be scary for sure.

He's talking about subconscious programming, this experiment of his won't make someone realize non-duality. Edit: sorry, I realized you're understanding my word usage incorrectly. i wasn't using the word in a philosophical sense

I've done this before. I did not allow myself to watch, read, consume anything that didn't bring me feelings of serenity and peace. I also had ad blocker on, and I used it block out all problematic elements. For a site like YT, I didn't have to see any comments, the homepage, and any thumbnails that would pop up that were of a low quality. The shift in reality was beautiful. But why is it scary to recognize how your choices and the environment creates your reality?

this is my best.

His effortless stream of consciousness is second to none.

The irony is that everyone is mixed. And mixing has always happened. It never has stopped and will never stop.

Touche.

Wow. I’m speechless. I feel like after reading this I need to offer my sympathies, but I don’t feel like that’s enough. I hope someone can help you make sense of this.

How so? You have to go to the dark web to see that shit, whereas you can view a boobie in a playboy magazine off the shelf of a store. When you depict violence in movies, it’s all fake. No head is actually being chopped off. A boobie however will make you pickup on sex signals. That’s real. That’s not fake. So you’re comparing fake vs real. And when you’re with a group watching a movie, I don’t think you came to fight back your penis from slowly growing in length down your thigh.

Sorry, I wrongly assumed the Basque were similar to Sardinians. They actually differ in they have a surge of WHG ancestry. Though I still think they aren’t the most European, but I don’t know. In this principal component analysis, seems like some of the grey triangles (representing different European individuals from various ethnicities) marked N_Europe is closer to the indigenous and least admixed ancient European population of WHGs. By the way this is a bit of an awkward PCA, I’m pretty sure it removed non west Eurasian elements from South Central Asians, so they plot closer to the steppe herders than they should.

That's ridiculous. The Basque people have a lot of Anatolia Neolithic ancestry, which has a bunch of Middle Eastern ancestry. They're only special in the sense that they, and non-admixed Sardinians, have preserved their pre-Indo European Farmer ancestry the most. But this fails to tell you that they are a hybrid mix. And that there was a population before them, that unlike them, was actually the most pristinely European. And that's West European Hunter Gatherers (WHG). These guys were mostly replaced by the spread of these basque/sardinian-like Farmers in most of Western Europe. The spread of Indo European people from the Steppe actually brought back a lot of European ancestry to Europe as they began replacing the farmers. Not only that, but Eastern Europe probably still had a lot of Eastern European Hunter Gatherer ancestry that wasn't completely replaced by the farmers (which is similar to WHG but with a slightly East Asian pull). And that probably was being picked up by the incoming Steppe peoples. There was also a surge of West European Hunter Gatherer ancestry that brought back a lot of European ancestry. The whites that have the most indigenous European ancestry today are Northwest and Northern Europeans, like the English, Irish, Swedes, etc.

You got chatGPT, you can pick its brain. Wikipedia covers the general idea, but beware it’ll cite all these sources but not all studies and their conclusions are equal: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-Europeans Your best bet to understand these things is to look at the data yourself from these studies.

That was dope.

Well, the thing that these racists have going on, is that it is true that the Indo-European expansion started around Eastern Europe. And the ancient proto-Indo Europeans (PIE) are more closely related to Europeans than modern-day Iranians, or South Asians. This used to be taboo to say was true, especially since academia being left-leaning has a bias against this as it might play into the whole Aryan Neo-Nazi stuff. But the thing is, genetic testing of ancient populations made this impossible to deny. And in hindsight, it was a failure of the academic community to deny the archeological record. The archeological record itself was irrefutable. However, despite it being true that Eastern European Hunter Gatherers around the Pontic-Caspian steppe were the progenitors of a group (PIE) that would expand into the rest of Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Iran, South-Central and South Asia, it's not true that they came to these regions as the same as their forefathers. Right off the bat, prior to the expansion of the proto-Indo Europeans (PIE), they took women from the Caucasus where at that point in time, these people that inhabited the Caucasus were West Asians genetically. So the proto-Indo Europeans (PIE) had a dilution of European ancestry during their ethno-genesis. As they kept expanding into non-European territories, they kept taking women and mixing with the local population, so European ancestry kept getting diluted. This is seen through the dominance of their Y-DNA distribution in these regions today. By the time they came into South Asia (through the route of Central Asia), it's highly unlikely they were anything resembling a European. And while Hinduism might have similarities with other Indo-European religions, it's still obvious that many of its deep philosophical thoughts was developed independently in India. But this is what fuels this stuff. It's some half-truth that gets extrapolated in a delusional way. However, I have no idea what other things are fueling the beliefs about the Incas and Aztecs, there is usually something more to their theories than these guys mentioned a white person built this.

Reading your blog post #148, what distinguishes awareness from consciousness? Why don’t you view these two words as being synonymous with one another? Aren’t both words referring to the state of existing? And please don’t tell me to contemplate, I’m literally retarded.

Well maybe there is something motivating people’s differing interpretations on things. So take into account people’s motivation or lack of one. Those who are motivated to throw all religion to the dustbin of history will have their own perspective shaped by this. Those that see the value in the evolution of Christianity, might not see the big deal in their own perspective. There may be other motivating factors too.

That’s actually adorable.

It really is the very first time you’re conscious of your consciousness. And when you look back before this experience, it’s odd. It’s like you were just auto-piloting through life. It’s not that you took what was around you completely for granted, you had childhood wonder of things around you prior, but you never realized how surreal it is that you exist and that you’re interacting with the things around you. Upon this realization it’s like you woke up and the auto-piloting ceases. How the hell was I in auto-pilot mode prior, that blows my mind.

Is stepping out of the mist that moment of epiphany when you’re awestruck that you have awareness, that you exist? And in that realization, you become completely immersed and aware of the present. As if you’ve been taking for granted that there are things all around you all this time; an atmosphere, color, light, shapes, sensations, etc. If so, this happened to me as well when I was a kid. And I did wonder what was I prior to this epiphany. Kind of like, how did I go through life without realizing this. If what I described is what Jung was talking about, then that is what happened to me as well. Interesting enough, I remember wondering right after if my mother or brother have awareness too, before contemplating if I’m actually God that created this life for myself and therefore the only one in the world that has awareness.
