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.

Was Mother Teresa legit?

From what I understand, yes. The problem is that it's easy to nitpick and criticize anyone doing lots of good in the world by cherrypicking their faults and limits. This is an example of self-deception through lack of charitability. Regardless of everything, Mother Teresa helped thousands of people at great cost to herself, in a way which almost no one else would have the balls or selflessness to do. Mother Teresa suffered from the typical faults and limitations of Stage Blue, which is mainly ideological rigidity and closedmindedness. But for her era this was par for the course, not something to hold against her.

As for whether she was Awakened, obviously not. Helping people in need has zero to do with understanding God. In fact, it's a distraction. Sacrificing yourself to help others is not the same thing as realizing God. It is not intelligent to hold her lack of consciousness of God against her good works. You don't need one to do the other. Yes, you can help many people through dogma alone, although generally that will backfire.

Notice the self-deception of critics like Christopher Hitchens. His atheist agenda blinded him from seeing the genuine good she did. You don't need to buy into Christianity to admit that some exceptional Christians use the ideology to do lots of good. Dr Albert Schweitzer is a prime example. I have a good book about him in my book list. I have a good book about Gandhi too. I find criticism of these figures in poor taste because the critics are not better people. Before you go criticizing someone like Mother Teresa or Gandhi, first get honest with yourself about how many poor and sick people you have helped? It is very easy to criticize. It is very difficult to help thousands people while living in poverty yourself.

This is the dark underbelly of how AI is trained.

You can clearly see that this will not lead to AGI. So get ready for the AI bubble to burst.

Of course Jordan Peterson's online university is no rival to actual universities.

The irony of all these critics of mainstream things like universities or media is that their alternative solutions are all worse than what they criticize. Are universities corrupt? Of course. But some thing some right-wing ideologue throws together is going to be more corrupt than that. How is that no obvious? Is Jordan Peterson capable of inventing a system better, truer, more objective, less ideological, less corrupt than mainstream universities? Of course not. How could he? He's an ideological actor. An ideological actor cannot create a more truthful system.

The notion that Jordan Peterson is going to gather a handful of his intellectual buddies and invent something better than a university is laughable. Criticizing and ranting is easy. Inventing a better alternative is near impossible. It is not enough to criticize systems, you have to invent superior alternatives that actually solve existing systemic problems. It is ironic that JP attacks a 500 year old institution like universities and seeks to replace it with some flimsy, time-untested, cheap, online gimmick. That is the opposite of conservative.

This guy lived the Stage Red lifestyle and finally out-grew it at age 60.

This is an insane degree of corruption. And notice how ignorant people regard such corruption as good or even saintly. That's because they equate survival with Good. They aren't thinking about anything but their immediate survival.

A prime example of Stage Red.
