Hamilton Morris is a curious case. He has probably done more psychedelics than I have. However, he is completely materialist and atheist. All those psychedelics and he still never realized God. Which just goes to show that psychedelics alone are not enough. The contemplative and deconstructive work is crucial.
Nevertheless, I am grateful to him for doing some pioneering work in the psychedelic space. His integrity is admirable. He is a strong advocate for psychedelic legalization and research, which is important for evolving mankind.
I despise anti-woke media critics, but Starfleet Academy truly is a wokeness dumpster fire. Not because characters can't be gay or black or female, but because the writers and showrunners of Star Trek are creatively bankrupt hacks who try to compensate for their lack of writing skill with vapid LGBTQ political activism. Under Alex Kurtzman the writing in Star Trek has become an abomination. But Kurtzman and co. are so blind to this that they think fans are criticizing them out of homophobia, misogyny, and racism. Of course there is some degree of that online, but no, the elephant in the room is that the writing is puerile shit, because they have the wrong priorities: political activism over serious, intelligent story. It is astonishing that such bad writers can keep getting re-hired and promoted in Hollywood. A sick group-think has crept its way into Hollywood and the corporate world which believes that diversity activism is more important than quality art and entertainment. No! Good art is not activism and it never will be. You cannot create great art or entertainment if you put political activism first. This is corrupting art and entertainment and they don't understand that. They think they can have it both ways. They are blinded by identity politics.
I'm not a Star Trek fan, but if I was, I would be furious over what Alex Kurtzman and wokeness has done to the Star Trek franchise. This is an example of Stage Green going too far. There is a delusional Stage Green group-think that permeates Hollywood, Disney, and the leadership of most multi-national corporations. And this feeds into monsters like Trump getting reelected because normies do not have enough mental nuance to distinguish healthy Green from toxic Green. This kind of political activism ends up backfiring as normal people just want art and entertainment without cringe, hamfisted gender politics. Excessive Green turns Blue & Orange normies against healthy Green entirely, which is tragic. This is why Jordan Peterson has the massive following he does.
No, don't worry, I have not turned anti-woke. I am just being balanced and calling out bias and corruption on all sides. I have criticized conservatives more than enough, to the point where I have nothing left to say. Anti-woke critics are still wrong AND modern Star Trek is shit. Both can be true simultaneously. Just because Star Trek has turned into woke shit does not mean MAGA is correct. People have a hard time drawing this distinction, which is why I made this post.
Here's another example of the cringe, excessive, Green group-think infecting the games industry:
This is tone-deaf and totally inappropriate for a medieval RPG video game. But the writers are too woke to understand that. There is a kind of woke self-absorption/narcissism where the political activist can't help but shove their agenda into places it doesn't belong, which makes it cringe, awkward, and off-putting. People don't buy and play RPG video games to deal with gender identity problems. Now, the wokesters will respond with, "But art is supposed to be about self-expression and challenging norms". Films and video games are pop-art, commercial art. This is entertainment first and foremost that needs to be FUN and needs to SELL. Sure, you can make your art about lesbian, nonbinary, queer, feminist, trans, communist ideology, but then you should expect to go bankrupt because way too few people buy films and games for that reason. Remember, you have the right to make any kind of art you want, and rest of us have the right to not buy it and make you broke. Woke gender activists grossly overestimate how popular their gender ideas are. 95% of people do not care and you cannot make them care by shoving it in their face. All of this LGBTQ stuff is very fringe, but they don't see that because they live in a Green echochamber.
You know the surest way for Democrats to lose the next presidential election? Shove LGBTQ issues into the next Elder Scrolls game. Make the Dragonborn a nonbinary queer with pink hair. That's what makes normies hate Stage Green and vote for MAGA. Normies hate it when you fuck with their hamburgers and circuses. Knowing that is politics. Trump knows this, meanwhile wokesters are too high on their own supply.
Stage Green will dismiss what I'm saying here as just LGBTQ-phobia — which is a mistake. Read the fucking room. Recognize that you are a fringe minority and that does not give you the right to make the majority bend over backwards for you.
It is so tricky to strike a healthy balance between the conservative reactionary chuds, the Green fart-sniffing utopians, and the ball-less milquetoast centrists. If you side with any one, you go wrong. How can right, left, and center all be wrong?! Well, somehow they manage it! Lol. Truth is One, falsehood is infinite.

This channel has some good videos on the principles behind creativity.
I will make my own video on creativity at some point, but for now you can glean from useful insights from this channel:
I encourage you to deeply contemplate, What is creativity? and, How does creativity work? Don't speculate, observe it in action. Do creativity and observe how it works. Observe which things make you more creative and which less. Keep refining and deepening your understanding of how creativity works. One of your life goals should be to become a powerful creative. To master creativity. You should strive to become one of the most creative people on Earth. That's one of the most worthwhile goals in life.
Note: Creativity is not suitable for everyone. Some people's personalities are just not built for it. Those are the marketers, salesmen, financiers, accountants, lawyers, and corporate hacks. So you should first determine if creativity is the right fit for you at all. But if it is, then go hog-wild on mastering it.
There are two types of people in the world: creative and non-creative.
People have been asking me to make more appearances on other shows. So I made this 2.5-hr podcast with academics on the DemystifySci podcast/channel.
We discussed survival, truth, love, evil, morality, and more.
Check it out:
The following video inspired me to write about the difference between good and evil.
The guy with the glasses in the video is trying to use post-modern relativism to argue that the Jedi are evil. Haha! He has no idea what Good is! Which shows you how dangerous post-modern thinking can be. Isn't it amazing that you can use post-modernism to convince yourself that Palpatine, Dark Vader, and Darth Maul were the good guys while Luke, Yoda, and Obi-Wan were the bad guys? LOL! Lucas made the bad guys in his story so cartoonishly evil that one of them is painted like a fucking devil, yet post-modernists find a way to make the Jedi the evil ones.
The people who write Star Wars made some serious mistakes in how they write and depict Jedi — because they don't understand what Good is. For example, in Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, George Lucas depicted Qui-Gon Jinn as using a Jedi mind-trick to trick Watto the junk dealer into accepting credits that were useless to him. He also used the Force to manipulate dice to win a bet. This is not Jedi-like behavior. For Jedi to be good, they cannot lie, they cannot deceive, they cannot manipulate, they cannot trick others. That's the Dark Side! The entire point of being a Jedi is to be aligned with Truth, because Truth is Good. But George Lucas and Disney Star Wars writers don't understand that. So they create corrupt depictions of Jedi. Being a Jedi is not about using light-sabers or cool force powers. Being a Jedi is about being constantly aligned with Truth. That's why being a Jedi is so hard and rare and requires so much discipline and training.
Why are the Sith or Night Sisters evil? Because they lie! Because they are not truthful. If the Jedi are also depicted to lie, then they are no better than the Sith. The one thing a Jedi should never do is lie or bend the truth. Jedi mind-tricks are a big mistake. Jedi should not use mind-tricks. Mind-tricks are a Dark Side power.
From decades of existential contemplation, I have such a deep understanding of Good that I can be a consultant on how to write proper Jedi. You cannot write a Jedi unless you have direct consciousness of Truth/God/Good. Disney could hire me to tell them how to write perfectly Good Jedi. Not because I am Good per se, but because I understand what Good is.
See? Disney writers cannot even write Jedi properly because they are too corrupt, too evil. An evil person cannot write a good person. A Disney writer does not understand that Good is Truth. Which is one of the reasons why Disney has turned Star Wars into shit. Disney doesn't give a fuck about truth. Which is why Disney is corrupt and evil. Well, there go my chances of being hired by Disney. Disney's Star Wars writers are godless post-modernists now, which is why they can't write proper Jedi. Jedi is not a post-modern notion, which leaves Disney writers flummoxed.
Actualized.org teaches you how to become a real Jedi, beyond the fairy-tales. I can't promise you force lightning, but I can promise you God.
Note: Why are Jedi supposed to be celibate? To not allow survival to distract them from their commitment to Truth. Jedi are servants of Truth.
Note: By the way, Lucas got the midichlorians exactly right. Spiritual ability is largely genetic. That is oddly realistic.
Note: For Jedi to be good, they cannot be indoctrinating children. They have to facilitate children in a truth-seeking journey without forcing truth upon them. If a child doesn't want to seek truth the Jedi should not force him into it. Being a Jedi cannot be following norms or a guilt trip, it has to be consciously chosen. If the Jedi facilitate genuine truth-seeking in children, that makes them good. This is what distinguishes Jedi from a cult.
