@Jacob Morres Hormozi is pushing his agenda on young dudes for profit. I definitely don't trust him with this by default. He has an inventive to get guys to not go to university, and instead buy his courses and products to make a living. He obviously wants you to sign up for his platform SKOOL. He wears on his sleeve that all he cares about is sales. Anyone selling a course on how to make a living is a biased actor contributing to the University debate.

I agree that desire and needs-meeting are core elements of human existence, but I don't think suffering is then implied by that experience. Having needs as a subject is not suffering, failing to meet them is. I see this reading as the depressive attitude of Buddhists and Lacan. Who says your needs are reasonable? Which of your human needs and wants are fantasies versus actual survival needs? People cause themselves a lot of suffering by constructing unnecessary needs that are impossible for them to meet. Yes true, that makes sense given Lacan is biased by his psychoanalytic perspective. I don't know if a human can integrate that trauma. Having your core needs and state so violated destroys the foundation of human life. I don't expect a positive mindset to save me from such an encounter. My concern with Lacan is that he reads The Real as a potential for violation at the root of consciousness, which is not the case in my experience. There can only be violations against particular forms of consciousness, so it's not a default like he suggests. It seems to me it can only come later as a result of circumstance that directly attacks the core needs of a subject. I worry that people will construct this root violation perspective and torture themselves with it unnecessarily.

Do I really look like a guy with a plan?

If you eliminate money from politics the only other tool we have for securing power is force. So take your pick. We need force, money and new technologies as potential options for solving conflict and getting human needs met. The problem is in the minds of those who wield power, not the tools they use.

It's only the peak so far.

Post-Modernism Part 1 is fantastic. The new direction for Actualized is a great move. I have some questions for follow up episodes: 1. How does a post-modernist effectively communicate with modernists, and pre-modernists? How can they present post-modernist perspectives such that a modernist can understand and get on board, without severe resistance? 2. How does a post-rationalist or meta-rationalist effectively communicate with post-modernists and modernists? 3. What further development exists after post-rationalism? Are we starting to reach the limits of human cognition, requiring a shift into transhumanism in order to further develop? 4. How does a post-modernist+ individual succeed and thrive in a world that rewards modernists and rationalists? Where having a post-modernist+ perspective is quite lonely or even demonized.

That's not what I said. I said the universe is free to act out whatever it pleases. Good and nasty included. As humans, we generally don't like corruption because it causes us suffering. But we are still free to do as much of it as we like. Corruption is a construction because there exists minds that can not and will not ever act it out. Could you expect a goldfish to be corrupt? No. One has to exist at a certain level of conciousness to act out corruption. And yes everything is constructed. You're just going to have to accept that at some point.

Make your own job. Start a business.

If you're engaging critically with whatever you're consuming it could be a good use of time. That's the whole reason I'm on this forum, you guys give me prompts to think and contemplate on (like right now, thanks!) I am working on doing less YouTube/ podcasts and more talking directly to AI models. Bouncing ideas of them rather than unconsciously consuming some content in the background.

By default it's ignorance. Dishonesty requires one to be aware of their bullshitery, and then continue to do it because they will not give up the profit it brings. And of course there are degrees of awareness of one's own bullshit.

Said every HP Lovecraft character, before succumbing to madness 😂

I've even noticed that people can fake being post-conventional. I've met people who are certainly conventional who present post-conventional, but as soon as things don't go their way they demonize and use black-and-white thinking behind closed doors. Sneaky... So definitely don't peg someone at one stage even just going by how they talk. How they act and strategize is an even better indicator.

Totally up to you and your values. Personally travelling interests me very little. People think I'm crazy when I express little desire to travel, but that's just the social matrix trying to worm into my brain. Travelling carries a huge cost, make sure you're travelling for the right reasons if you do decide to pursue it.

Sorry, I draw the line at 3 post-modernisms. After that you're a Marxist devil hell bent on destroying the west. 😂

Sorry bro, real woke people are way beyond that. We're into post-post-post-modernism now.

Nice share.

Both. Human language feels wildy inadequate and nonsensical in that state. It becomes caveman grunts which have no accuracy.

Personally, psychedelics and socializing just don't work together. Language just stops making sense. Do whatever works for you. Just be careful not to go overboard.

I mean, with all due respect being gay can never be a crime except in the most backwards of societies. So unless you want to live in one of those, give it up. I find it really difficult to take you seriously on this point because as far as I can tell... you don't like gay people because they give you personally the heebie-jeebies and you have this theory that the whole gay community is trying to make everyone else gay against their better interest. It's like criminalising someone for prefering pepsi over coke, and recommending pepsi to people who might like pepsi. You should that understand gay people exist because it actually helps humans survive. It's an evolved trait, not some cultural glitch. Give that possibility real consideration, because there's truth in it. Whatever harm you see in being gay, is obviously not harmful to people who need to be gay to thrive and enjoy their life.

Let's stop pretending we understand rapists, yeah? There's no one reason, there's no one-size-fits-all explanation, rapes come in subtle and gross forms. There no use trying make sense of it by summing it up to just 'power' or 'sexual frustration'. A rapist defiles the free will of another, in a way that will certainly cause ruin to their life and body. It's obviously wrong, for those who value the life outside of their egoic self at all. @Moutushi The culture and systemic survival of today's India allows for the possibility for rape to occur. Rape would need to be made impossible through human development to prevent it. A high consciousness person would never rape regardless of how much power they wanted or sexual frustration they harbored, because it is not an option for them.

The universe is free to go in whatever direction it pleases. There's nothing preventing rampant corruption. Corruption is a construct invented by your mind. Corruption also causes suffering, which humans generally don't like. Therefore over time, if we can find ways to do without it, we will naturally try to construct less corruption.

Problem is most people don't like high-concsciousness resources, so the few that do exist need to stick with a very small core audience to actually survive. Using spiral dynamics as an example, one strategy that is both mainstream and high consciousness is to make content that looks like stage orange but subtly drops stage yellow ideas in order to sow the seeds. It can't be too grossly stage yellow or average people will think it's impractical.

I really don't think I am that compulsive. Everything else seems accurate.

There's plenty of close-minded green people. One of the earliest signs of green is just SJW rhetoric.
