On the limits of science.

[Danioover9000]

   This video showcases the following limitations of a scientist trying to explain religion as a biology in a society:

 

   Notice how his worldview that is materialistic and scientific explains and implies that most of the leaders of religion have milder forms of schizophrenia, which fails to see how that is because those religions are at the development stage they are at, not due to the genetic traits expressed in those groups, in fact he conflates elements of stage purple, Shamans, to being applicable to elements of stage blue priests and is not aware of how he constructs this mistake. He is not aware that he is interpreting the information from a mostly stage orange to tiny elements of stage yellow mind, and the orange mind is, based on the cognitive, moral development and life experiences so far, unable to see that stage blue, red and purple's development is necessary, especially in regards to the creativity and evolution of states of consciousness through collective development of those stages. Keep in mind, Dr. Robert Sapolsky is an accomplished intellectual, yet this is not enough for realizing self bias and how your world view and developmental stage distorts information and colours how you interpret reality, including interpreting other cultures and groups of different stages.

   Even if, suppose I am being generous, and say actually Robert Sapolsky is 50% yellow, 10% green and 20% orange, even if the majority of his psyche is more in yellow, which is self aware and construct aware that the tier 1 existence is necessary, that still is not enough to help him realize the mystical elements that exists behind each religion and each spiritual tribe so far in humanity, which is greatly realized at stage turquoise, because the key development needed for this is linked with meta cognition, and with self reflection, and that is states of consciousness and consciousness development. If your development of consciousness is not high enough, it will struggle to get a grip with how mysticism is linked with religion and tribes, which is one of many pointers to deep truths like No self, true self, infinity, oneness, and will struggle as to why there are so many different versions to God in every religion or spirit tribe.

   Feel free to share your thoughts, and after watching the video, share what you think and what came up. Interestingly this topic on the biology of religion, he didn't want to post on the official Stanford playlist as it might get backlash. Yes, backlash from stage blue fundamentalists getting triggered, but also notice this, too, he is not aware of how the fear he feels is a projection of a future his mind created, to justify not sharing the video. Ta-da!  

[Leo Gura]

No amount of meta-cognition can substitute for mystical experience and change in one's state of consciousness.

State is king.
