Some people accuse me of being chauvinist towards under-developed countries and cultures when I say stuff like that 3rd world cultures do not have ecological awareness.

But here is an example that proves my point. This is how they deal with trash on trains in India.

(Note: the language is not English, but it doesn't matter. Just look at the video)

Ecological awareness is a feature of higher consciousness and development. Primitive cultures at scale do not have it.

Caring about your trash is a mark of high development. Minds of low development do not think about where their trash ends up. When a bear shits in the woods, it doesn't think to itself, "I wonder if this shit is bad for anyone else?"

"Does my trash hurt anyone else?", is only a thought that arises in a selfless mind.

Conservatives are less ecological because they are more selfish. This is not an attack on conservatives. That's just how development works. Conservatives deny and demonize climate change for deep, not superficial reasons. The reason is selfishness. Conservatives are not merely uneducated about climate change. They are too selfish to care about ecology. That's why you can't change their mind with facts and logic. No amount of facts and logic can change a person's level of selfishness. Level of selfishness governs all human behavior, from politics to science to spirituality.

Once I know how selfish you are, I know everything I really need to know about you. Your level of selfishness allows me to predict your thoughts, reasoning, and behavior.

Good to see some MAGA people finally waking up. Better late than never.

In 10 years, the conservatives will disassociate themselves from Trump as they did with W Bush. It's already starting to happen. But then they will just turn to a new Trump-like character, like Tucker Carlson.

To any Trump voter who wants to switch sides: It's okay to be admit you were just wrong. Just bite the bullet and admit it. You will feel so much better. It's okay. If you just admit you were wrong, I will not judge you. I understand how tricky the mind is. I understand why you were wrong. It's okay. Just don't persist in pushing wrongness. If you switch sides you can redeem yourself. There is still time to redeem yourself. We need you on the side of consciousness and decency. If you were fooled by Trump, that's unfortunate, but I get it. I understand you. Just get back on track with consciousness. It's all just a learning opportunity.

I get you. Self-deception is a sneaky bitch. That's what I'm here for.

The following is the perfect example of what I mean by "the myth of science":

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbVzrkSjOM1

That's profoundly wrong. Of course science does not work that way. Of course science is dogmatic, closedminded, egotistical, political, and sociological. Of course science has an agenda. Of course science is not proud to say it's wrong. Of course science is not truth, that's why it's constantly wrong. If science was truth, it would never need to be proud of admitting mistakes because it would never be wrong. Truth is never wrong! Science's fallibility proves it isn't truth.

The myth of science is not just held by fools and laymen. It is held first and foremost by the best scientists. And then that self-misunderstanding and epistemic cluelessness trickles down to everyone else in society, down to Hollywood directors and bros on Reddit. The fish is rotten from the head down to the tail.

I have to say that because otherwise scientists will make the excuse that only the tail of the fish is rotten. No. The tail is rotten because the head is rotten. The rot is not with the laymen fools, it's with the biggest scientists and the entire institution of science. Every department, every arm of the entire institution of science is rotten to it deepest core. Science is so corrupt and so epistemically and ontologically rotten that no one in the institution can even imagine — because it would be too painful.

The problem is, when Christopher Nolan speaks the above, every scientist proudly nobs his head in approval. None of them cares enough about truth to question it.

Science does not respect truth. That's just what they tell themselves to not be ashamed of their lack of respect for truth. If you respected truth, you would have found God. How can science respect truth when it denies its very existence?

Science respects truth so little that they set the bar so low for themselves that they jump over it and think that's all there is to respecting truth. If you truly respected truth you would set the bar so high that no scientist would clear it. If you truly respected truth you would be horrified at the epistemic and ontological sloppiness of science. When I look at science, I am horrified at what I see. Because I actually respect truth. I respected truth so much that I was forced to deconstruct science. If you truly respect truth, you will see the myth that science has portrayed itself to be.

Science's own image of itself is not truth, but fantasy. A scientific fantasy.

When I say conformity, this is what I mean. This is the true meaning of conformity. If Christopher Nolan fell for it, anyone can fall for it.

How am I supposed to point this out without offending everyone? People want me to be inoffensive, but at the same time point out profound stuff like this. There is no polite way to see this. It is a rude awakening. If I said it politely, it would just be ignored.

It is like you walk in on a group of guys raping a corpse. You say, "Oh my God! I can't believe you guys are raping a corpse!" And their response is, "Hey! Don't be so rude!" "Rude?! You're raping a corpse!"

Nothing I say can be as rude as what science does.

Nolan said that "science seeks to disprove itself". No. I seek to disprove science, and look at the push-back and demonization I get for it. I seek to do precisely what science refuses to do: disprove itself.

Note: Notice where Christopher Nolan gave that speech, at the "Federation Of American Scientists". Which means he was giving that speech to a room full of professional scientists. And they all agreed with it. Not one of them stood up and said, "No! That's not how science really works." Because if someone did, that would be the end of their career,  and yet, it would be the truth. The reality of science, not the myth, is when you speak some serious truth, they fire you.

The ancient Greek word for truth was Aletheia. It was popularized by the earliest Greek philosophers.

How is Aletheia defined?

Aletheia is variously translated as "unconcealedness", "disclosure", "revealing", or "unhiddenness". It also means "reality". It is the antonym of lethe, which literally means "forgetting", "forgetfulness".

What is it that's being unconcealed? Maya. God's hallucination of the universe.

Why is its opposite forgetfulness? Maya. God dreams so deeply that it forgets it was God.

The opposite of truth is being lost in a dream. Every untruthful person is just God lost in a juicy dream. Philosophy isn't what academics think it is. Philosophy is really about one thing: the study of how God dreams Reality. True philosophy is about uncovering the cosmic hallucination. Philosophy is the pursuit of Truth. This is different from science, different from religion, different from a cult, different from academia, different from scholarship, different from religious studies, different from meditation, different from personal development, different from proof, different from avoiding suffering.

The demonization of empathy is very wrong:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaRVf1NxXqy

It is not the case that conservatives hate empathy. They love empathy when it's for them. They just hate empathy for everyone who is not them.

Conservatives want empathy for me but not for thee.

Conservatives corrupt empathy by biasing it exclusively towards themselves. There are serious consequences for that. It means you'll be deluded. Biasing empathy like that is not worth the epistemic cost. Instead, strive for equal, even-handed, unbiased empathy.

The notion that God loves some more than others is childish and laughable.
