He has easily deconstructed that. For instance, he has said multiple times that he intentionally chooses reductionism and naturalism because it's a strategic thing to do to reach people at this point in history.

I've never understood the appeal. The fine-tuning argument is essentially "the universe is a particular way, therefore God". And it's yet another way to anthropomorphize or anthropocentrize something that is not human. The universe is fine-tuned to be exactly what it is, nothing else. It doesn't care about life any more than a rock or a black hole or empty space. It cares about everything. And all of these things fundamentally necessitate each other. They're perfectly interrelated. That's fine-tuning.

What games do you play? 🤔

Patience is hard when you have a lot of deadlines and things that need to happen quick and you're dealing with bureaucratic drag and repeatedly malfunctioning technology from multiple sources at once ☺️

"Anti-Western" in what way?

Really good acting or simulations can make you feel a certain way too. Just go with what you feel. The fact that it's real just means it's generally more able to land as a given feeling, because you are made to respond to those things. Billions of years of evolution went into it. Seeing genuine emotion or pain will land as that if you are empathically open to it.

I don't see what you are not buying

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Magdeburg_car_attack "Saudi refugees" as in escaping Islam. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-12-21/death-toll-in-attack-on-christmas-market-in-germany-rises So an alternative motive: Germany allows the "Islamification" of Germany -> hit Germany at its core to make its leaders think. Breivik had a similar logic. But again, as I just recently added to the previous comment, they haven't established an official motive yet, and it doesn't really matter for this discussion, as he is still non-Islamic and drives cars into crowds.

It's true that investigators haven't officially established a motive as of now. Nevertheless, there are endless piles of evidence that he is anti-Islam, and that is the important point: you can be non-Islamic and run cars into crowds.

You are living it right now by watching it, and when you repeat something, it's more likely to stick.

How do you feel when watching all these people in pain and misery?

And just before that, on December 20th, 2024, in Germany, a guy drove a car into a crowd because he was skeptical of Islam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe I'm INFP at my core, but I often come off as an INTP; INFP in INTP's clothing But some dude insisted I was an ENFP, so idk.

I sometimes use Fe to judge what Si is relevant to start talking about, but mostly somebody will just start talking about their Si and then I will respond with a Si that is similar. What Si my mind brings up is mostly done spontaneously through mostly Ne, but sometimes I can stop and use various judging functions to determine whether it's relevant enough. To put it in non-MBTI terms: I sometimes use my attunement to the values of other people to judge what personal experience is relevant to start talking about, but mostly somebody will just start talking about some experience they've had and then I will respond with an experience that is similar. What experience my mind brings up is mostly done spontaneously through intuition, but sometimes I can stop to think about whether it's actually relevant enough.

Learning about Si taught me to become better at pretending to be a socially attuned drone by talking about things I've done rather than things I think about.

No, it was a poorly presented inside joke where I was caricaturing a way of communicating that I find rather not useful. I prefer to describe non-duality as the lack of separation rather than things being the same. It's not that the identity of a concept is the same as another concept (e.g. "apple = banana"). It's that there is fundamentally One identity beyond concepts, the Absolute.

Yes. Resonates a lot with my view of myself (except the gifted part 💩🙉💩😉; mandatory humble signalling).

This is not about SD (or intended to be), but it's possible to come to a place where nothing (in terms of human behavior) really surprises you or puzzles you. Just felt like sharing that.

I think routinely watching these kinds of videos is like routinely hitting yourself in the nuts or teasing a snake to bite you. At some point, it just becomes self-torture.

*queue spiritually sanctioned absolute insanity rebuttal: "everything is the same as everything else"*

You underestimate yourself 😉

Beige^ The "unnecessary" part seems quite Green. "It's unnecessary to think bro, just vibe bro". But it was said mostly jokingly. I generally find analyzing another forum member's SD stage revolting.

That's why you have to beat your dad 😆

Some years ago when I got a little into Chess (I only used to play a few games from time to time with my dad before), I beat a bot rated Candidate Master (~2200 elo) on my phone when I spent a lot of time thinking and focused really hard, albeit with one re-move at the very end (so it wasn't completely fair). The game probably lasted a few hours. At that point, it becomes more about patience and meticulousness than strategy. You literally calculate almost every possible move a few moves ahead. That's also how I beat my dad for the first time: by spending a lot of time calculating and being patient (the game was of course untimed 😄).
