I can't imagine anyone in the modern world who would go hunting just for food.

Sit down and watch your thoughts. That is basically all there is to it. Science, spirituality, philosophy, rationality, objectivity, materialism, intellectualizing are thoughts. Can thoughts be true? -

The past and future is a thought happening in the present moment. -
Goal setting is not incompatible with living your passion.

Find your life purpose. If that includes public speaking or math, pursue that.

Why do stones sink?

No.

Notice how both words describe the relationship between atleast two separate parts or entities. Then notice how all words do this to some extent (hot vs. cold, up vs. down, in vs. out, short vs. tall, rough vs. smooth etc.). All these have their own flavor or quality. There is an untold amount of relationships like this in reality, many of them overlapping. One word can also only approximate the extent of each relationship. That is why you can have many words for something similar, and you can keep adding more and more depending on the level of investigation. That is why native people north of the Artic circle have 50 words for qualities of snow. But even this doesn't capture the full nature of snow. No word can do that.

I get this if I try to fall asleep on my back. I have been sleeping on my stomach for half a year now. -
For sure. I have my qualms about the theory as well (which may also stem from pure ignorance)

Why?

Persistent baseline non-duality (I initially hesitated to write that, idk why), meaning ~95% of the time (or when blood sugar is stable). It's essentially when you stabilize around the most basic experience of no self. So-called "awakened people" stabilize right below that threshold and may dip in and out ("awakenings"). This is still just the most basic level. There are deeper levels (various maps and disciplines have described this), and in some sense, it's infinite.

Persistent baseline non-duality. All other definitions are bleh

Really insightful.

Haha tell me about it, growing up with my mom who is ESFJ. She also divorced my dad who I think is INFP as well

How many have you read so far? -
@Hansu I think young guys mistype themselves as INTP a lot, especially with a surface understanding of MBTI. I thought I was one, but now INFP makes so much more sense (although some of my tests show Ti).

Perspectivalism doesn't abolish distinctions. It instead puts distinctions into a larger context. You're still able to perceive hierarchical order (infact it's this ability that gets refined). The differences in scale and style of different perspectives are more readily recognized (global meta-perspectives vs. local micro-perspectives). It seems like you want to bring Blue up to the same level as Green. You can't. However, you can extend the same level of consideration for each stage. That doesn't mean you treat them the same, but in considering each stage, it brings you on a level above both. That is essentially what the Tier 1 perspectives are lacking: discernment between considering a perspective and adopting it (and not just posturing it like Orange but actually embodying it in practice).

Society. My definition explains for example why Leo gets lumped in with schizophrenics even though he is not that (willingness vs. ability). Also, don't forget that I'm generalizing (it's a spectrum). Schizophrenia is a spectrum as well. I'm saying that the tendency is that it makes you less able (as well as inclined/willing) to conform. -
