True, which is why you would want to vaccinate the entire population so that we have enough hospital beds for people who need it.

Bronfenbrenner's ecological model (1979).

What is the connection there? Or did you mean two separate videos?

Unless you believe that the soul is somehow damaged during an abortion (given a belief in reincarnation) or that it causes a lot of suffering, I think the final legitimate concern from an utilitarian, non-essentialist and non-reincarnation standpoint is that the fetus is somehow "robbed of life". In my opinion, this comes from an irrational impulse of anthropomorphization (although granted, the fetus is technically a human), in the sense that the fetus in its current state doesn't have a "life" yet in terms of immediate impact on and manifestation in the world (a sense of self, personality, interpersonal relationships, a carbon footprint etc.). On the other hand, there is reason why you hesitate pulling the plug on somebody on a life support. It isn't primarily due to the fear that you think they will suffer a painful death, but it's rather because you recognize that they're a fully "realized" being with a life. They have acquired attachments, experiences, identities, and they're emotionally invested in a story, and that is what is actually keeping you from wanting to end your own life.

What if you as a healthy person got in an accident and you couldn't get a hospital bed because some unvaccinated person had to be put on a ventilator?

Imagine where you were before your conception. You've always been there. It never stopped existing. "But complete nothingness, darkness, void surely doesn't exist, does it?" YES IT DOES!!

Hint hint: (he wants you to answer his question)

So what you fear is essentially your survival going south by you losing contact with consensus reality, ie. becoming "delusional" or "going insane". The funny thing is that the only way that you'll ever go insane and lose contact with consensus reality in the first place is by being attached to your survival. And you don't need drugs to get there. Trauma will do just fine (imo, it's the main factor at play). What unresolved trauma does is it challenges your survival in such a way that you start constructing your own internal substitute-reality in order to escape those challenges, and psychedelics can certainly exacerbate those kinds of underlying issues, no doubt. When your survival is threatened, it starts seeking out solutions to protect itself, and when the threat is unconscious to ourselves and leads to enough chronic dysfunction and stress, one solution can involve changing the subjective experience of that survival by altering the very reality through which you experience it, because your "reality interface" is what you use to assess your survival (if it's going well or if it's going bad), and you always try to maximize your survival, which includes your assessment of it. This leads to thing like cognitive biases and having an internalizing or externalizing attribution style, e.g. "that went well because of me", or "that didn't go well because of somebody else", and you'll actually believe that this is actually what happened (and in that way, your reality skews in favor of some assessment you made about it). I've written a bit on this in an earlier post which I think could help to elaborate on what I mean: So the solution for madness is to inoculate yourself from stressors by resolving trauma, analyzing your mental proclivities and creating a holistically healthy lifestyle. Then it's up to you to decide if you should avoid psychedelics or not, but remember that it's actually possible to hold both worlds in each hand: consensus reality in one and The Absolute in the other:

On a more serious note, I used to be completely inflexible in dealing with people different than me, but I sort of grew out of it. Of course I wouldn't be the same person today without meditation, but I think age is an important component as well.

Be a better ENTJ then. Innovate a way or be malleable enough to accept that ?

The drugged state of mind is less tainted by survival. What you experience right now and call reality is only that which allows you to survive. If you saw something else, that would threaten your survival. It's a protective veil. The only thing you shouldn't trust psychedelics to do is to accomodate your survival drives and keep the veil in place.

The people who are consistently surrounded by Tier 2 people are usually doing some work in the world that requires working with such people. The bottleneck is then to fully incorporate Tier 2 into your life purpose, put your money where your mouth is and get out into the world.

The distribution is basically identical to the rest of the population in open communities like that, meaning very few people actually at Tier 2. A community that is saturated with Tier 2 has a lot of bottlenecks associated with it.

When you say "Women's rights didn't work in Afghanistan", I would expect that you could atleast clarify in what way it didn't work, because I have no idea what you're talking about right now.

Yeah duh. But how or why didn't it work? Are you talking about the Taliban? You're being incredibly vague.

The point of the application process is to show that you're qualified. If you get offered the job, it means you're already qualified

What does that mean?

Great examples of systems thinking in this one.

Historically, we didn't have Women's rights either. We don't know how it will affect the world. The future is open for speculation.

except when you rely on accrued family wealth and nepotism.

This is a variation on the Dunning-Kruger effect: having gained enough knowledge to spook yourself but not enough to soothe yourself

That's easy: differentiate between the relative and The Absolute.

Charts like these are notoriously skewed to fit a particular agenda. I would suggest looking up every stat mentioned and cross-reference different sources (but of course, nobody cares to do that because it's essentially the image equivalent gish galloping). Also remember that groups like "frugivore" and "omnivore" are very generalized and do overlap in some areas and that many animals don't fit fully into just one category. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Are_humans_omnivores_or_herbivores%3F

Stick to your experience.
