Do our brains really flood with DMT when we die? -
Confusing the map with the territory is about confusing a symbol (a thing) for the thing it represents (another thing). A symbol is something that represents something other than itself. Models are in essence nothing but a collection of symbols. Maps are like that, and humans are map-makers. Thoughts are symbolic in nature. For example, you have a thought (a thing) about a cat (another thing). The relationship between the cat-thought and the cat is symbolic. The thought is like an image of the cat. The image is not the actual cat - it's an image. "Think and act outside models" is therefore not a very meaningful statement. You're already involved in the very act of modeling or map-making by interacting with the symbolic content of your thoughts. You drawing images of cats in your mind is similar to drawing images of cats on paper. This video is a perfect illustration of what we're talking about (it's so funny ): The confusion also lies in thinking that symbols somehow exist independently of map-makers (humans). That would be impossible. These are all maps. They were all made by someone. In this case, if something is made by someone, it cannot be the territory.

Stop fooling around and answer my question. What do you mean when you say "don't you think people know why they are there?"? How does that justify insulting a cancer patient? Get down from the clouds and get real lmao -
I'm an anti-composer. I have probably around 1000 audio recordings of different guitar ideas stored on 5 different phones over 10 years which I've never touched

Plato feared that the sophists would lead to the collapse of society, so he created form/idea theory. Kant loved Newton too much to accept Hume's skepticism, so he wrote Critique of Pure Reason. Sometimes the self-bias becomes so abundantly clear.

Or you're just a wimp . I cried the day after MDMA because I thought I had lost 50 bucks that I was just about to hand over to a friend of mine. Spent 30 minutes searching for it along the road while sobbing and people walking by. Turns out I had just put it in a weird slot in my wallet. Don't do drugs kids -

You don't go into an AA meeting or a therapy session or a cancer treatment center and say "you're all deluded - this is actually pure perfection!" Your delivery should be laced with compassion and careful deliberation. -
1:43 A little Tier 2 aswell

In what way are they moral objectivists? Sometimes they will make so many concessions to relativity that it becomes absurd to call them objectivists.

I don't regularily point out flaws in people's character relating to what I consider to be spiritual growth, because everybody is flawed and everybody has their own path, and you ultimately can't do much to affect a person's development unless they come to you specifically for advice. With that in mind however, there is just one thing that I don't vibe with. It's how he so lightly can say things like "everything is perfection" or "without homeless people, people wouldn't love their homes" right infront of... well, homeless people. You can speak about the absolute with good intentions, but always acknowledge that suffering is a real thing for the person who is experiencing it. Some people do have it worse than others, and from their perspective, it's not at all a sign of perfection. Despite how obvious the distinction between relative and absolute might seem from your perspective, that is only your perspective. If I was Connor, I would want to see this careful consideration of the nature of suffering being reflected in my approach to different people and the delivery of my message. -
