Nah man. I basically didn't talk to anyone except my few closest friends in high school because of social anxiety, but today I'm a different man.

The conflict might be extremely buried and practically unsalvageable, like for some lifelong psychopaths, but for others, the conflict is much more cerebral and reversible.

That is only what you tell yourself consciously. The conflict can be unconscious. Ethics is more fundamental than propositional beliefs. You have cognitive functions that concern ethics. That's your conscience. Your propositional beliefs are only the tip of the iceberg.

True, but there is something about 2020s production quality of some metal bands that just melts your ears.

If you like metal, I actually had this very thought some few days ago: I think "Grind" by Gojira is one of the best metal songs ever made (and I've been around the block). Catchy as fuck, cutting-edge production, creative, pristine, soulful, transcendent.

I once asked it for studies, and the authors it cited were not real people

Ethics is not just an external thing, or some abstract framework. You have a conscience. Unless you're indeed a maxed out narcissist, if you're acting very unethically, there will be internal conflict, conscious or unconscious.

EXACTLY!????

The problem with ChatGPT is that it gives very simple-to-understand answers in a coherent and convincing way, even when it's completely wrong. If you don't understand the answer, that is something else. At least you can tell that Wilber believes in what he is telling you, unless he starts stumbling in his words or becomes evasive. The AI doesn't even believe in anything. There are various ways which we determine who or what to trust, and it's crucial for learning, and ChatGPT escapes that in too many different ways for me.

Can you really have it all if you're neglecting aspects of yourself? ?

I know. I'm criminally buff ? Holism though. You want a balance. Neglecting all ethics or all aesthetics is what you want to avoid, if you care about health. If you only care about aesthetics, sure.

Just be a normal person. Knowing about spirituality or having a had spiritual awakening doesn't make you special. You still have emotions and insecurities.

@Nilsi Unethical behavior makes satisfying social needs difficult.

@Nilsi Is Nietzsche's concept of power holistic? Because if it's not, it will fail to address human needs. Examples are things like self-determination theory's "autonomy, competence and belonging", or Plato's "man-lion-beast", or Freud's "id-ego-superego", or the biopsychosocial model, or the triune brain. Models with three parts are usually the way to go ;D

To be truly selfish, you cannot give yourself to any one philosophy. That would be to give yourself to something outside yourself. If Tate is truly the power God, he would switch the moment it becomes pragmatic to do so.

He isn't concerned about being edgy ? He is all about the Chess moves.

I just realized that I've been doing something similar to masking, but it's because I'm a bit of a schizo rather than autistic Like, instead of talking about the most random insane shit that my mind usually thinks about, like "eyo guys, did you know that green tea has pretty much the inverse pharmacological properties of cannabis?", or "did you know that holism is like the fucking coolest concept ever?", or "you know, the thing you just said about Manchester City winning almost all their previous matches against Arsenal, that reminds me of Hume's problem of induction...", I'll just talk about more mundane stuff unless someone else prompts it. You could say it's the process of an xNxP becoming more ExFJ. I've kinda let myself a little more loose lately though, with the right people. Nowadays when I meet new people, I'm testing them more, testing their schizo meter

Sure, maybe asking the question from many different angles could help. Still, I just can't shake the feeling that they might be wrong, and you'll have very few ways to tell. It will be just as structurally coherent as all the other answers. When you run across something dodgy on the internet, you can use cues like poorly formulated sentences or domain names to determine trustworthyness. In real life, you have social cues. With ChatGPT, you only have your intuition, and that's an infinite source of paranoia (at least for me, I do score very high on neuroticism ). This must be how autists feel about people lying to them.

Maybe in the majority of cases. The first clinical psychologist I ever met to knew about spiritual enlightenment. My university has a class called "spirituality, religion and existential questions", and we had a lecture that touched on the differences between extraordinary experiences, mystical experiences and psychosis. The most important distinction is that psychosis is generally dysfunctional, while extraordinary/mystical experiences generally aren't (in fact, they're often associated with higher functioning).

I don't feel like asking ChatGPT for anything anymore. There is something eerie about trusting something that didn't come from another human being who has a 1st person experience of believing what they're saying. I get same feeling as when I thought the teacher was bullshitting an answer in front of the class to not come off as unknowledgeable, and I just wanted to go home and never listen to her again.

That's true. It's just an anthropomorphism. There is no reason for God. God just exists. God experiences itself through multiple separate perspectives, not because it has to do that, but because it is doing that.

Lying and manipulating has always come easy to him. Watch his appearance on Ultimate Traveller.

@Danioover9000 I think he was very specifically talking about simple political interventions like taxes, which is kinda dumb to be absolutistic about. You probably wouldn't feel fundamentally violated if we replaced taxes with some other alternative. It would be a different story e.g. when it comes to something like democracy, which is more complex. It doesn't quite work as well then to say "wouldn't you be fine with a totalitatian state if everybody was happy, healthy and fed?" And sure, properly balancing things like process and results is what wisdom is about. This is a bit of a jump, but life itself is a process to be enjoyed. If you're always looking for some result, you'll never be happy.

Neurosis central.
