Humans gauge truth based on popularity and social acceptability, not truth itself. This is the case even with the best scientists and academics. They are not above this trap at all, because scientists are not taught how to have a direct relationship with truth. Science is a consensus-building social activity. It is not a direct relationship with truth. Scientists and academics do not understand this. They honestly believe they are above this. They are kidding themselves. All of science revolves around social acceptability. The only ideas that will be seriously considered as officially part of science are those which are socially acceptable to the typical middling scientist. This means that the most radical and deepest truths will not be part of scientific consensus, not until we’re all dead. This has always been how science works. This is nothing new. It was this way 500 years ago and nothing has changed.

Consider: the only reason you believe that gravity bends space-time is because it is the socially accepted view. You have no direct relationship with the truth of gravity or space-time. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The only reason you believe in the force of gravity is because it is socially accepted. You have never actually questioned the reality of forces or gravity. You have no idea what a force is, or what gravity is, and yet you just accept them as truth. Why? Because you gauge truth by social acceptance. But wait, it gets even worse! The only reason people respect and believe science is because it is the socially accepted view. People have no direct experience of the validity of science. It's just social acceptability! That's the glue that holds the entire house of cards together! This is not understood. It is denied, minimized, rationalized away, and cleverly ignored.

Scientists unwittingly gauge truth based on social acceptability — which is epistemically perverted. What humans find acceptable, agreeable, or rational is completely irrelevant to truth. But not to science. That's why science is not truth.

What do you think Nobel prizes are about? What do you think PhDs are about? What do you think the Ivy League is about? What do you think tenure is about? What do you think peer review is about? What do you think citing sources is about? What do you think h-index is about? What do you think a resume full of elite university employment is about? What do you think kids and their parents dying to get them into Harvard is about? What do you think billionaires donating to Harvard is about? What do you think popular science books are about? What do you think podcasts interviewing scientists is about? What do you think academic debates are about? What do you think getting grants and funding is about? Social acceptance! It's a social fucking game that dares to think of itself as truth-seeking. What every scientist desperately wants is social acceptance. This is usually not a problem because their work is so constrained that anyone who would do radical work was already kicked out by the system. The only people left inside the system are lapdogs who do socially acceptable work. As soon as your work becomes socially unacceptable, you will lose your job, so most don't even bother to do that kind of work.

Academia works like this: they put a gun to your head and tell you to do research. But if your research reveals something radically different and socially unacceptable, they will shoot you in the head. That, simply speaking, is why God cannot be found in a university. "I AM GOD! And you all are corrupt and full of shit!" is not a socially acceptable research project.

The most important thing you need to learn in this work is to develop a personal, direct relationship to truth. To never gauge truth through social consensus or human sources. You need to cut society and humanity out of the truth-seeking loop. As long as you are using other humans to gauge what is true, you are epistemically fucked. And if you are using me to gauge truth, you haven't yet learned the lesson. The only source of truth is you. Stop looking at others to know what truth is. Stop being impressed by social consensus and acceptance.

You want to reach a stage of cognitive development and mental autonomy where the entire human race could believe the sky is green and it doesn't shake your conviction in what you know is true. That is how real truth-seeking is done, not by peaking over your shoulder to see what others think. Truth is your immediate consciousness. Truth is your own mind. You don't need to ask anyone what it is.

This is so ironic. Tyson is using this example to strengthen the case for science without realizing that it would be the death of science.

This is a perfect example of the limited imagination of scientists. They can imagine something more intelligent than humans, but they can't imagine that if something was significantly more intelligent than human, its understanding would be so deep that it would transcend science, and this intelligence would be mystical, not rationalist. He also fails to imagine that such intelligence already exists on this planet in the form of mystics. There is no need to speculate about what it is like. I know exactly what it is like and it is not more science.

Scientists foolishly think that vastly higher intelligence means more materialist, rationalist, atheist, reductionist science. NO! Jesus! How crippled must your imagination be to think like that? Vastly higher intelligence means you realize that all those human paradigms limit your intelligence.

Explaining mysticism to a Neil DeGrasse Tyson is like explaining trigonometry to a chimpanzee. A chimpanzee's idea of higher intelligence is being better at finding more bananas. But the reality is that you stop caring about bananas. What scientists fail to imagine is that higher intelligence is way more profound and significant than more science. Higher intelligence results in completely new dimensions of Reality and Mind opening up to you.

You do not need to speculate about what super-human, alien intelligence is like. You can become it yourself. You can access alien intelligence today! I have. When you become intelligent enough, you will realize you were never a human at all. "Being human" IS low intelligence! Rationalism is low intelligence.

Another ignorant atheist scientist type failing to comprehend the depth of question.

This lady founded American Atheists.

No amount science or Nobel prizes will ever get you to understand why or how you exist.

Atheists do not understand why religion exists.

All atheist rationalizations for why religion exists are wrong.

Religion only exists for one simple reason: Because the only thing that exists is God.

No human being is intelligent enough to invent God. Humans wish they were that intelligent! God is a direct experience. All religion comes from direct experience of God, unbelievable as that may sound to a scientist. Science has a long way to go before it understands religion.

See? You can crunch all the physics equations known to man, and you will still not understand why religion exists. That is how limited rationalism is.

How do you understand why religion exists? You will only understand at the moment you experience God. Then, in an instant, all religions will become obvious to you. Religion exists because some people actually experience God and then tell everyone else about it. But then those listening who haven't experienced it misunderstand what is told.

The existence of Christopher Hitchens should terrify you epistemically. If someone as smart as him could deceive himself so confidently, what hope is there for anyone?

I hope you're starting to see the wild intelligence of self-deception.

Animation by Steve Cutts entitled "Man":

Some have criticized me for over-stating Osho's wrongness on God, as if I was misinterpreting him. Well, here is another example, if the previous one was not clear enough.

You would not speak this way about God if you were conscious of It.

Why is Osho speaking about God as something outside of Reality/Existence?

This would be like if you asked me if cats exist, and I responded with, "There is no need for hypothetical cats." And you say, "But isn't that a cat sitting on your lap?", and I say, "This here is not a cat! This creature has its own intelligence, its own energy, its own life. It does not need any outside agency. Cats are redundant."

Okay, bro. Where I come from, we call that a cat.

Everything in life comes down to the problem of differentiating truth from falsehood. This one existential epistemic dilemma is the cause of all human problems. Human beings do not understand how to differentiate truth from falsehood. That's why I exist. All that I do is teach you how to differentiate truth from falsehood until one day you Awaken and realize that you're TRUTH. Distinguishing truth from falsehood is the trickiest thing in existence. Nothing is trickier. Nothing takes more intelligence. The perfect differentiation of Truth is Infinite Intelligence. It takes Infinite Intelligence for God to differentiate truth from falsehood and to Awaken. Don't you see? God can't Awaken until it perfectly differentiates Itself! The only thing God's seeking is Truth. Because Truth is what God is. God is Truth. God is Truth. God is Truth, looking for itself.

God is an endless process of differentiating Truth from the illusions spun by Infinite Imagination. How does God see through its own self-constructed illusions? That's the real existential challenge, not human survival.

Notice that the more intelligent you get, the more you see through your own self-constructed illusions. Well, this trend reaches all the way to the top, ending in Omniscience. You can become so intelligent than nothing your mind constructs fools you any more. That is the ultimate point of development.

Haven't you realized yet? Your greatest enemy is your own mental constructions. So that's where most of your attention belongs. That's what Actualized.org is laser focused on. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is busy trying to distract you from focusing on your mental constructions.

Don't take your eyes off the ball. The ball is your own mental constructions.

You can boil all of philosophy down to this one question: How do I differentiate truth from falsehood? If you solve this one question, you've solved Reality.
