Deconstructing the Myth of Actulized.org

[primzolo]

For the creation of this thread, I was inspired by the newest Actualized.org series "Deconstructing The Myth Of Science". 

It is self explanatory. 

The topic here is to critically approach the "concept" of Actualized.org and all of its components (videos, blog, forum, store, speaker, listeners...).

There is a problem of the opposite concept of reductionism, that is sometimes used in this paradigm(s). Similarly as the concept of reductionism is, the opposite is not dominant.

Holism gives privileges to the thing that arrises from multiple other. Multiple (infinite) infinities create Infinity. Why is Infinity so special, that we have to capitalize its first letter? 

I know why... because we give greater importance to the thing that the lesser thing is in. But this again comes with some sort preassumption like in any other topic or paradigm, may it be science, religion, personal opinion or  Actualized.org.

°It's very easy for someone to get misunderstood here. 

° People have very little patience to hear what a person has to say. 

° Lots of judgemental people on the forum, defeats the true purpose of spirituality 

 

° Spiral dynamics is used as a weapon to demonize people on the forum 

° There is a general preachy attitude where people are trying to one up each other in terms of moral or spiritual superiority. 

° Opinions on a person's character are forced down a person's throats, very abusive. 

° Riddled with self bias and too much projection. Even Gaslighting. 

 

° Although people like to constantly affirm that it's a left leaning forum, most thread starters start with right wing topics and there is more support for conservative opinions than liberal. Calling it left leaning is erroneous and just a ruse or misrepresentation with the intent to establish prejudice against left.

I've said this before on another thread, but Leo is someone with hundreds of hours of content on a wide variety of topics, so it's not unexpected or even undesirable to disagree with him in several areas.

Be careful of accepting actualized.org content uncritically, and make sure not to center your worldview around any one person or idea.

Remember that Spiral Dynamics is just a model, albeit a very useful one, and keep its limitations in mind.
