Science is categorically incapable of understanding reality. No amount of technical analytical intelligence is sufficient to make sense of reality. Reality can only be understood through a totally holistic intelligence that only comes from trans-human states of consciousness. Reality cannot be understood as a physical system because reality is Consciousness and nothing but Consciousness. Human consciousness is incapable of understanding Consciousness. Only trans-human consciousness has enough intelligence and holism to understand Consciousness. No scientist has enough Consciousness to understand reality, so they spend their entire lives chasing their own tails like dogs until they drop dead. They have invested so much time and energy chasing their own tails that they would rather die than admit their mistake. So that is exactly what they will do.
This is the elephant in the room that no scientist dares to talk about.
This is not a problem of lack of technical ability or lack of advanced technology. The paradigm is entirely wrong. The paradigm is so wrong that there exists no right paradigm within human consciousness. It is a gap that science can never bridge no matter how hard it tries. The only solution is trans-human consciousness. No amount of science of any kind is equal to trans-human consciousness.
No amount of giving baboons faster calculators and bigger telescopes will get them to understand what a human child understands. This is the seriousness of Consciousness. The only technology that helps is one that raises Consciousness. Which is why psychedelics are the most powerful technology for understanding reality.
You should watch as many Stephen Kotkin videos as you can. He's a brilliant political thinker. Extract everything you can from him and integrate it into your political worldview.

It is easy to criticize any system from outside because your survival doesn’t depend on it. When your survival is internal to a system, seeing its faults becomes virtually impossible. It is like trying to pull up a rug that you are standing on. Which is why you can never trust anyone inside a system to see or tell you its faults, limits, and corruptions. You do not see the faults of any system your survival depends upon. Understanding systems is not merely an academic pursuit, it requires changing the structure of your lifestyle so your survival no longer depends on the system you seek to understand.
So, for example, you cannot understand science if you survive within it. You cannot understand Harvard if you survive within it. You cannot understand Fox News if you want a career within it. You cannot understand Christianity if your survival depends on it. Deep understanding requires proactively exiting systems — which is the hardest thing to do once you are deeply embedded within it. This is where the most serious development work happens. What scientist is willing to leave science just to understand it? What Christian is willing to leave Christianity just to understand it? Almost nobody does this because it is so emotionally difficult. This is why most sense-making is so poor. And, of course, which system is hardest to exit and understand? Your self.
This is why great sense-making requires courage. A lazy, conformist coward cannot do it.
Exiting systems leaves you all alone, without friends, without family, without tribe, without nation. Most people cannot bear this level of social isolation. They would rather be part of a corrupt system and blind to its true workings as long as they have company. This is why Nazis stay Nazis, Christians stay Christians, and academics stay academics.
This is like a small college lecture series on Post-Modernism.
Christians do not understand God. Scientists do not understand God.
So a Christian scientist is a Venn diagram of misunderstanding God.

"Whenever any skeptic appeals to infinity, they've got nothing. Infinity plus infinity equals infinity. Infinity times infinity is infinity. Infinity to the infinite power is infinity. So by appealing to infinity you can explain anything you want."
Omg, this is giving me brain cancer.
YES!
EXACTLY!
That's why GOD IS INFINITY!
How do you think anything can exists at all? Only because Infinity explains anything you want — literally! That is where all of God's power comes from.
Infinity is literally Omnipotence. The only way to create anything at all is if you have Omnipotence. Omnipotence is the only way to create something out of nothing. That IS the Miracle!
Infinity is the only solution to the ontological problem of how anything can exist.
And, going even one step further, of course Infinity is Nothing. The Christian is in denial that God is Nothing. And so is the scientist.
What a clever bitch Maya is.
The existence of spiritual aliens is also a deep problem for Christianity and Islam. Why? Because those aliens will clearly have more advanced forms of spirituality than Christianity and Islam, but obviously alien spirituality will not be based in Jesus or Mohammad or the Bible in any way. How does a Christian explain the inconvenient fact that aliens won't know nor care about Jesus but have more spiritual understanding and powers than Jesus? This demonstrates why Christianity is fundamentally flawed. This is why worshiping any human is wrong.
Imagine the possibility that there exist way more advanced forms of spirituality than anything humans have invented. How unimaginative must one be not to consider that?
The most interesting aspect of meeting an advanced alien species is not their technology but their spirituality. But serious academics and scientists pretend like this isn't even a thing! How ignorant! Spirituality is not just something humans invented. It is universal. How can I be so sure? Because the Universe is Spirit! All intelligent lifeforms need to cultivate a relationship to God. This is baked into Intelligence.
There are 2 trillion galaxies in the visible Universe, each galaxy contains an average of 100 billion stars. Are we seriously to believe that God, in the form of Jesus, incarnated one time around one sun to save one species from damnation? This idea is laughable. Not to mention an insult to God's Love.
Does this guy strike you as a Christian? :P
Here's a cool gadget for cleaning your ears. It's called an otoscope. It has a camera and an app. Very easy to use. I tested it yesterday and it just works. You'll be horrified at the junk you find deep inside your ears. If you think Q-tips are cleaning out your ears, you're in for a rude awakening. It's like an Ear Awakening.
This makes for a great holiday gift.
This holiday, let your loved ones know their ears are filthy.
This gadget pays for itself. Last year, before I knew it existed, I paid $200 to an ear doctor just to remove some stuck earwax which clogged up my left ear. The wax build-up can get so bad that it even obstructs your hearing. No joke. This saves you costly trips for ear exams. Be your own ear doctor.
When I was 16 years old on vacation in Cancun Mexico, a small moth flew into my ear and got stuck deep in there, buzzing around. We had to wake up a Mexican doctor in the middle of the night to fish it out. When a moth flies into your ear in the middle of the night, you'll wish you had an otoscope lying around.

Coming next holidays: Be your own ass doctor :P
Is Actualized.org science?
My critics would say No, because it makes no testable predictions about the material world. But my work does make falsifiable and testable predictions.
Here’s a big one: When mankind finally encounters advanced intelligent alien life, I can predict some of how those alien minds will work. For example, I predict that any intelligent alien species more advanced than humans will not be atheists.
This is a huge problem for materialist science, because how will materialist science explain the highly inconvenient fact that all the advanced alien civilizations know of and speak of God? Can science act like aliens with God-like technology are just superstitious, delusional, religious fools? Obviously this would be a deathblow to atheism. Although atheism will die long before aliens invade.
How can I be so confident in this prediction? Because I already know the answer through direct consciousness. Any advanced intelligence beyond human must understand that the Universe is God. This is not a guess. This is not a maybe. This is not woo. This is fundamental. So please, let’s test my theory. I welcome it. And I can make other testable predictions about the workings of alien minds. Why? Because it is possible to have direct experience of alien stages of cognition from the inside. Your mind can access those states. You can do science on how aliens might think and experience reality. Why? Because there is nothing in principle separating the human mind from an alien mind. That separation is not physical, it is imaginary. But good luck explaining that to a materialist. You don't need to wait for aliens to land on the White House lawn to do science on them. You can study higher forms of cognition right now just by looking within yourself. But what scientist has enough imagination, creativity, and balls to do that?
So, here is my official scientific prediction: No alien civilization capable of reaching Earth is atheist. All of them know that God is Infinity. Because that's an Absolute Truth.
If my prediction is correct, does that make Actualized.org science? Hell, even if my prediction is wrong, does that make Actualized.org science? After all, scientists make wrong predictions all the time. Do you see how non-obvious it is what is and isn't science? If science is defined by predicting reality, you never know what cognitive activity will or won't help you predict reality. That is because truth is larger than science and truth is necessary for prediction. This demonstrates that you cannot separate something like my work from science, even though I don't consider myself a scientist. I'm saying all this to show you just how artificially narrow-minded science is. Healthy science would incorporate Actualized.org insights into itself so it can be more robust. Unhealthy science will reject Actualized.org insights as "pseudo-science".
This is just a taste of how this work can advance science. The more advanced your cognition, the more advanced your science. The biggest limit for science is lack of the scientist's cognitive development, which is not the same thing as IQ. But how do you convince a scientist of this?
Does this guy strike you as an atheist? :P
