Totally agree! Im sure Daniel has gone very deep with consciousness too, he just wouldnt talk about it in the same way. Since you can never translate your depth of consciousness to aynone that hasnt been there too anyways I dont see how Infinity/God has more explanatory-power than pointing out that any model can never fully capture reality. Just that the second is the more humble way of describing it that leaves more room for genuine not-knowing. They both point in the same direction.

Daniel points toward the ineffable. Leo points at himself while stroking his cock.

A question was answered - you took it as an attack.

Anyway, I’m not hearing any real engagement here. Just a lot of bla bla.

What is being asked by such questions? I just meant they could be made more specific.

What puzzles me the most is why the double standard? Why isn't the world acknowledging the most evil genocide that mankind has ever done which is the anihilation of an entire race which were the Nativee Americans

Because of terrorism.

Some scondrels are more difficult to pinpoint, and then we have millions of people sublty eating bad epistemics in the name of Manifesting Destiny,Changing Frequency to Abundance etc.. while the Podcaster clearly deny the Political and Economic situation of everything. 

Dont watch this if you are sensible to cringe. But if you ever was able to listen Tony Robbins blabermouth this will be easy to you. Same vibe

In this line of corruption, survival, and manipulation I've been contemplating on a series called shameless. I recommend watching a few episodes, just to grasp how multifaceted corruption of mind can get. While portraying the necessary drama to make a show successful, it's ruthlessly grounded in the reality of many people.

Whoa. Research time

 

@Leo Gura ...I hear people speak and they are strong in their ability to deliver truth in an elegant, simple way even if it is in direct contradiction to mainstream ideas (like the idea of all far lefts being anti-fascist)...these diamonds in the dirt I find every now and again are incredibly powerful, often because of how simple they are. Just so stripped of unnecessary BS. 

It's like chess. Often the most advanced chess players are only thinking with the most extreme forms of basic logic and simple thought patterns. 

Is there a broad umbrella term that exists to identify people who speak with such simplicity, accuracy and directness (and subsequently power)? You know, people like us on this site.

Ideally the term couldn't be "truth-teller" or "sage" as everyone claims to be a truth teller and sages are often way off in some abstract philosophical realm.

I was thinking calling them "people of profound insight"? 

It would just be good if we had a term for this kind of truth seeker kind of like how "Nonduality" is the term for the core of our philosophical stance...?

Got to share this new-age epistemic scoundrel:
 

I recommend watching the entire video, Vaush's commentary is really on point IMO.

Also really funny to see a materialist like Vaush ridicule stuff like this. Even though the video from Spirit Science he is commentating on is 95% full of shit, sometimes there are some truths in it, like the idea of the "lucifer experiment" of Consciousness forgetting it's oneness, I think that's actually quite a nice way of describing it, but since he's poisoning the well for 95% with the worst bullshit and pseudohistory imaginable, a materialist like Vaush would never even begin to question his materialist paradigm; in his mind, his materialist & rationalist paradigm works as an excellent filter and epistemic defense against quackery and bullshit, and so that gives all the more weight to the idea that rationalism is true. 

Vaush even states; "This is why I hate mysticism", in reaction to Spirit Science bullshitting about space-Hebrews and other stuff. And who can blame him?
Like Vaush rightly points out, Mysticism and in fact these exact same stories about Atlanteans and the like were literally used by the Nazis to brainwash the people into rationalizing the abhorrent Nazi ideologies and actions. They claimed white Aryans were the real descendants of the Atlanteans or something and that other people were not. This way, you already create an essentialization and dehumanization of non-white people, making them ready to be slaughtered.
Himmler, Hitler's second in command, and prime architect of the Holocaust, was a fervent esoteric and mystic and was also basically the high priest of the Nazi religion and lore.

So because of rats like Spirit Science (I always hate when Leo uses that word but I'm getting to see why it's a good word now, there's truly no better descriptor), Mysticism is seen as only bad and superstitious. Of course we know that this isn't real mysticism at all, and that true mysticism is precisely the result of actual real skepticism and epistemology, and the marriage of rationality and intuition. But because of these new-age rats, co-opting real mystical ideas and teachings for their group-think and survival, rationalists are pushed ever further away from doing a serious inquiry into spiritual and mystical ideas. How disgusting these new-age rats really are! In my own life, I was always pushing against materialist ideas and debating materialists, breaking down their arguments and why materialism is not only false but also bad for life and society. Because that is the environment I grew up in and after discovering Consciousness and it's primordial nature (I used to be a staunch materialist myself), that is what I knew so I knew the errors in that. But these new-age rats, and in extension all religious rats are many degrees worse than materialists, even hyper-materialists like Dawkins, although he is very much a rat himself.

Holy shit, this dude really makes my blood boil. Skip the video below to 52:40 , where he infiltrates a hospital to show what " "They" use to heal" , implying the abhorrent idea that "real" healing is done without such equipment but with shit like crystals and the like (He literally said he thinks hospitals should have crystals etc.). He then proceeds to infiltrate a live surgery room, dressed as a doctor, where somebody is getting surgery, and proceeds to film it.
 

How bad your epistemology must be, and how high your arrogance and delusion, to actually just believe stuff like the Emerald Tablets ("found" by a late 19th century esoteric pseudo-archaeologist), and then preach history and the future course of humanity to your audience like you know those myths to be true, like you know everything about humanity. The arrogance and delusion of this guy is unseen. It goes so much further IMO than evangelical or wahhabist preachers who are simply religious rats. At least they are just low-iq zombie rats, preaching what other have before them. This dude is obviously relatively intelligent, yet uses it to create some sort of wahhabist version of new-age ideology in a truly stomach-turning way , and preaches it like it's nothing. The levels of self-deception of this guy are truly diabolical.

By the way, I think the Emerald Tablets are actually pretty deep and cool, and even those pseudo-historical texts are very much worth a study. I'm also open to them being actually channeled and the like. And of course chances are very high that many parts of what we consider "real history" are altered and left out and the like, and that there have been true mystical, non-physical events in real history. But we'll never know, precisely because real scientific history is so hard to do.

But Spirit Science takes that open-mindedness and proceeds to rape it with his crystalized spirit cock untill you're left bleeding on the floor. Sorry to use that language but that's how he makes me feel. And you'll call up Richard Dawkins to avenge you and hunt him down like Liam Neeson in Taken.

I was thinking a possibly good term to identify people who are skilled deliverers of streamlined truth in a powerful, simple, and hard hitting way...could be: map finders, map upgraders, alterers of structure, finders of structure, accurate structure mappers...or perhaps:

Anti-bullshit structure illuminators
