Silence is the loudest sound there is. -

Truth isn't profound at all. It's the most obvious thing there is. -

@Forestluv I see parallels between your observations and the problem of deep vs. shallow learning in school. School often consists of shallow learning in the early stages and you don't really get to cultivate deep meaningful understanding before you reach higher education, and of course that is where the republicans tend to fall off. It means you can essentially get along by picking up on the right concepts but not really picking up on the underlying connections or meaning in a piece of text. -
I feel hippie is the most relative term on the planet. I have no idea what it means most of the time

I always read that in Vaush's Ben Shapiro impression voice

His eyes reminds me of Devon Tracey (Atheism Is Unstoppable) who has gotten banned from youtube thousands of times for hate speech. People's eyes can reveal a lot about a person

It could be even worse than that. A person hears himself say "hello" and you hear "banana". You say "banana" back, and now he thinks you heard him say "hello". Don't underestimate the potential diversity of other people's perspectives. Now this doesn't negate the fact that all is one and there is only God. We have to distinguish between the relative and the absolute.

The idea behind Healthygamergg stems from a systemic approach like you've alluded to. When Dr. Alok became a psychatrist, he realized that talking one-on-one has a certain limited effectiveness, and more importantly that many people have the same issues. Streaming those conversations to 10k people can multiply the net therapeutic value by 1000x. Then you have the coaching program which is essentially the same principle only multiplied even further. So the approach is systemic. If we look at the content (the methods and teachings), it's not only standard western psychology/psychiatry. It's also heavily based on eastern traditions and spirituality (meditation, dharma etc..): Not surprising considering he studied for 6 years to become a monk in India. So the content is integrative and holistic. Systemic approach + integrative and holistic content = Tier 2.

That's not how society works. -

That number would not be an accurate representation of transmission rates. You would have to do the population density in individual cities or individual populated areas. Most of Scandinavia's landmass is unpopulated. -
You're assuming that shared behavior means shared experience. This doesn't have to be the case. You could display the same behavior with different stimuli (and vice versa) and the same stimuli can be perceived in different ways. An alien without our sense organs would also probably not agree with "a minimum common reality". The idea you're referring to has been given many names throughout history by people like Aristoteles and John Locke (the idea that certain qualities are perceivable through mutiple senses like form, size, movement etc.). They contrasted this with the more relativistic sense qualities like heat, colour etc. (more prone to adaptation). They used this to argue that we do infact have access to some shared reality, but this has been challenged by more modern models like "top-down" perceptual processing (their models assume "bottom-up" processing). Top-down processing describes how sense qualities like form, size and distance are subject to conditioning instead of being innate to the perceptual system.

It's normal to think that if the universe was caused by something, it must be caused by something else than the universe (something "outside" of it). However, the universe is everything that exists. If something caused the universe, that something must exist, and therefore that something must by definition be the universe, which means that the universe caused itself. Try to visualize what is "outside" the edge of the universe. It's just more universe. Therefore, every edge has to be imposed on reality. In reality, there is no edge. The universe extends forever in all dimensions. The concept of causality falls flat. Infinity is the ultimate strange-loop. -

Yes, but it's not a reason for keeping it illegal. -
Rationalism and postmodernism Orange Postmodernism is self-contradictory and we know this through rationalism. It's detrimental to the progress of knowledge. Green Rationalism is self-contradictory and we know this through postmodernism. It's detrimental to the progress of knowledge. Yellow Rationalism and postmodernism cannot be validated through a common method, but their utility can be applied towards a common goal.

I have no idea what the difference is between Ne and Ni. I've read atleast 10 explanations for it and I still don't understand the distinction. I primarily want specific real-life examples that can illustrate the differences rather than some more explanations (a way that I can create a picture in my mind of how it works). Thanks! :)))

That made no sense to me ngl

I did.

I could totally see why that is. I tend to lean towards INFP over INTP (Ne = Fi > Ti), and I think had no problems embracing the more obvious aspects of Green (feeling stuff). I still had this weird mental block from embracing it intellectually some years ago. It might be because I've always placed high value on thinking, objectivity and logic while trying to deny my feeling side (due to culture, upbringing), which tends to pull you back into small-minded rationalism. I was at that point at the very cusp of the alt-right pipeline (Thunderf00t, Sargon of Akkad, Atheism Is Unstoppable, Sam Harris, not quite Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro) which might've certainly contributed to that block. When I look back at that period, I always remember having an underlying feeling that the "SJWs" actually had their heart in the right place and that maybe I should've extended the courtesy of trying to see it from their perspective, but you know how echo-chambers work (it's hard to follow up on that intuition).
