Billionaires are shallow minds. They have zero metaphysical depth.

To proudly admit one does not introspect, is... insane.

Documentary about Flat Earthers.

This is a case-study in epistemic pervertry.

When I see Flat Earthers, my first reaction is not, "Haha! What deluded idiots!" My reaction is: "If a human mind can convince itself so thoroughly of something like that, then the mind can convince itself of anything. The mind is so powerful that it can convince itself that it is a human in a physical world." That is the obvious lesson.

Flat Earthers don't prove science correct. They prove that science is as much a self-deception as Flat Earth. That's the epistemic lesson no one is learning. A scientist is as deluded about science as a Flat Earther is about Earth. This is the one thing no scientist is allowed to admit. But it is 100% true.

This is both hilarious and indicative of conservative self-deception at large.

Conservatives are in denial that many of them are racist. There is a painful kind of awakening where you realize, "OH!!! Me and my tribe are racists! Of course!!!"

Conservatives have invented an entire sub-culture for denying racism. Why? Precisely because they are racist. It's comical. But they can't admit they are racist because being racist has such a negative stigma and they need to see themselves as the good guys. Plenty of conservative political content serves the function of convincing conservatives that they aren't racist when the truth is that they are.

At least in the past old-school racists were honest and owned their racism. But today's racists bullshit themselves about not being racist. Conservatives love to whitewash history and minimize the historical ugliness of racism because they need to feel proud of their tribe/race/culture/ethnicity.

Look. If you are racist, just admit it to yourself. That will be progress toward truth. Whatever evil or ugliness lurks within you, just admit it to yourself. It's okay. That is real development. There is no point in bullshitting yourself. Don't be a racist and a clown too.

More good political science. You should subscribe to this guy's channel. He puts out consistently insightful political analysis.

Notice how all of politics is unconscious survival. Politics is various survival strategies which suit the survival landscape of the time and place. But none of the actors in the game understand why the game is the way it is.

A dog simply doesn't understand mathematics. Likewise, a human simply does not understand that human life is imaginary. From a dog's POV, mathematics isn't real, mathematics is "woo". From a human's POV, human life being imaginary isn't real, it's "woo". But human life is completely imaginary. You are imagining that you were born, are alive, and will die. And you don't have enough understanding to see that. Your understanding is so low that you honestly think you are a human being in a physical world. The experience of a physical world and a human life IS low understanding. When understanding is low, a physical world is experienced. To be a dog requires very low understanding. And to be a human requires very low understanding. A human being is closer in understanding to a dog than to God. If a dog is a 2 on the scale of understanding, a human is a 5, and God is 10,000.

The only reason you are a human being is because your understanding is so low. If your understanding was high you literally could not be human. You attachment to being human is what keeps your understanding so low. That's why all humans are fundamentally stupid. It makes no difference what their IQ is or what their education level is. All humans are stupid because they are humans. A human understands nothing about ultimate Reality. Everything humans understand is fundamentally, incorrigibly wrong. Because "being human" is a fiction. A human does not understand this. If he did, he would cease to be human. The more you insist that you're human, the less intelligent you are. If your intelligence was high enough you would simply cease to be human.

What no human understands is that being human self-selects for low intelligence. Likewise, being Christian self-selects for even lower intelligence. Likewise, being a scientist/academic self-selects for low intelligence. You are limiting your own intelligence to only as much as your mind is open enough to handle and to maintain your self and sanity. If you allowed yourself to be Infinitely Intelligent you would become an Infinite Self. You literally lack the intelligence to see how you are an Infinite Self. That's the only reason you are human. And a dog is a dog only because it doesn't have enough intelligence to realize that it's not actually a dog but Infinity.

So here you are!

Don't take it as an insult. All humans are just low intelligence. That's what defines being human. Being human is akin to being born with a mental handicap. That's why humans are so violent, so genocidal, so racist, so sexist, so unloving, so corrupt, so barbaric, so mindless, so closedminded, so ignorant, so conformist, so ideological, so religious, so materialistic, etc. It's all just low intelligence.
