This is outstanding:

Make no mistake about it: conservatism is the justification of corruption and lower development. It always has been. Always. This sounds so biased and unfair, but that's just how the cookie crumbles.

However, this is not the same as to say that conservatism is always wrong. There are many cases where mankind is just so corrupt that higher development is impossible. So I am not simplistically saying that conservatism is wrong. I'm saying something advanced and non-partisan. And this does not mean liberals are free from corruption or that they are simplistically "the good guys".

The reason it works this way is because humanity has no recognition of how corrupt it is. Humanity underestimates its own corruption by a factor of at least 100x. The corruption is so profound that it is impossible for humanity to fix itself. Ironically, this means that corrupt policies and ways are actually important, necessary, useful, and "right" — because we have to live within our situation. Progressives counter-intuitively go wrong in that they underestimate how corrupt mankind is and the need for policies that realistically manage this corruption.

For example, progressives underestimate how racist humans are, so they naively advocate for stuff like endless immigration, not understanding that this will create serious backlash and regression precisely because most human beings are racist and do not want to live alongside immigrants. It's funny because progressives are portrayed as calling their opponents racists too much, but in fact progressives underestimate the prevalence and appeal of racism. So ironically, conservatives are right on this issue — not because conservatives are better or morally superior — but because conservative immigration policy aligns more realistically with the corrupt state of mankind: that most humans are racist. Conservatives are right precisely because they are morally inferior and mankind is too morally degenerate to act any better. This is why communism failed. This is why environmentalism fails. This is why Israel-Palestine fails. This is why immigration fails. This is why demilitarization fails. This is why veganism fails. This is why libertarianism fails. This is why drug decriminalization fails. This is why defunding the police fails. This is why the UN fails. This is why world peace fails. This is why free love fails. This is why the hippies failed. This is why guys like Trump, Putin, Xi, Orban, Erdogan, Netanyahu, etc. rule the world.

Conservatism is so successful and popular because mankind is corrupt to the bone. Mankind is way more evil than it admits to itself. Mankind is so hopelessly corrupt that progressives constantly fail. This is not a demonization of conservatives nor a glorification of leftists, this is the most accurate model of mankind, which has the most predictive power. If you do not understand this, you will keep failing in your political predictions and your activism.

You must understand the beast you are wrestling with or it will gore you. Leftists regard mankind as a cute puppy when it is more like a demonic rhinoceros.

We who wrestle with demonic rhinocerii.

True and healthy conservatism comes when you understand that mankind, especially in groups, behave like deluded demons. This is not an ideology, this is insight born from deep experience, contemplation, and God-Consciousness. Stop underestimating corruption.

This report is right-on: Infinite Love and Nothingness forever.

I also really like this part: "If you eat an orange, the taste you feel in your mouth is the communication with the spirit of the orange." That's a powerful perspective. I haven't thought of it that way before. I'm stealing that idea.

Ken Wilber is the most important philosopher of the 20th century. Academic philosophy doesn't even understand his significance. You can throw away 2000 years of Western philosophy and just read Ken Wilber and you'll be better off than the reverse. Philosophy education is a scam. Just read Ken Wilber and embody it.

With that said, Wilber's application of Spiral Dynamics to our political situation is mistaken. Stage Green is not the problem.

This is what a libertarian state would look like in practice:

Yes, being too liberal is a problem, don't kid yourself.

One thing I must admit being wrong about as a leftist/progressive is drug decriminalization. The cold reality is that when you make hard drugs or even weed easily available and destigmatized, a lot more people get addicted — and addiction cripples lives. The leftist, libertarian utopia where the evil government just decriminalizes all drugs and things are fine is an epic self-deception. That's not how drugs work. The more I see it, the less I agree that even recreational weed should be allowed. Don't bullshit yourself: recreational weed is evil. There is a huge difference between occasional tripping as spiritual work vs recreational use (which is what most people do). I'm really against chronic weed use, and all drug use, unless it's for serious spiritual purposes in a non-addictive manner. Anything that makes you addicted is wrong.

This issue is a good example of where the left goes wrong. As long as drugs are easily accessible, people will use them. That's the bottom line. The problem with decriminalization or legalization is that it makes drugs way too easy to get. The problem of drugs is truly a devil's dilemma: we're damned if we ban them and we're damned if we don't. The idea that the drug war is just an evil government racket is wrong. The drug war exits because easily accessible drugs ruin lives, families, and communities.

How do we solve the drug problem? What a question.

Please don't mistake Actualized.org teachings for supporting addictive drug use. I'm concerned that people might use my psychedelic work to rationalize recreational use. I have never used drugs recreationally. Not weed. Not even alcohol. I don't want Actualized.org to be used to endorse stoner culture or rave culture. Despite what it might seem, I've always been a sober-minded person and that's one of the factors behind my success. If I had gotten mixed up with weed, alcohol, or even psychedelics at a young age I would not be as successful and developed as I am. If you're in your early 20s or even younger, I recommend you delay experimentation with psychedelics until your life is more established. Build up your foundation before you run off into the spirit world. Being sober is crucial for making life-defining decisions in your late teens and early 20s. If you are high on weed every week you will make poor life decisions which are not in alignment with self-actualization and real spirituality. Weed will reduce your motivation for working hard and staying focused on your life purpose.

This is a very powerful insight into the nature of mind and sense-making.

Watch from timestamp: 18:48 to 25:40

This is why rationalism fails. You cannot solve the problem of sense-making through any formal method, including logic, rationality, and scientific method, because reality is infinite and therefore combinatorally explosive. For example, chess is combinatorally explosive so it requires intuition to play, not formal calculation. There's just not enough processing power in a brain or even a PC to brute-force your way through chess. You have to use intelligence. Which is also what makes chess meaningful, beautiful, and enjoyable. If you could just brute-force your way through chess it would be meaningless. And so with life itself and sense-making.

Fundamentally, the reason scientific method cannot make sense of Reality is because of the frame problem. Scientific method takes frames for granted. Scientific method just assumes itself to be the one correct frame from which everything else can be understood. This fails to grasp the profound relativity of frames. Ultimately every frame is relative and you cannot simplistically say that one rules them all. But science tries to do that, and what's more, science is unaware that it's doing this. Science isn't conscious of its own epistemic circularity, self-bias, and frame-chauvinism. Science does not understand that Reality is truly unbounded. Science treats reality like a finite game, but it's an Infinite Game.

The problem is so profound. As I explained in my series, Deconstructing The Myth Of Science, the naive notion that science is a single frame is already wrong. There's no such thing as "the frame of science", since there are many different frames of science, many ways science could be framed. Humans have to fight each other over how to define science. It's not obvious. Even scientists don't agree with each other, and there's no external source of authority you can appeal to to tell you what counts as "science". So how can you select the one master frame to rule them all? Well, of course, you can't. The attempt to find or construct a master frame is just fundamentally the wrong approach. All of epistemology boils down to the realization that there can't be one master frame. This is the elephant in the room. Another way to put it is, Reality cannot allow anyone to monopolize Truth. No one gets to say: "Only my way of seeing the world is the correct and best way!" No! You're just stuck in one constructed frame without realizing it.

All of the Actualized.org work is grounded in my fundamental comprehension of the relativity of all frames. So I grasped this frame problem back when I was 20 years old and then I built Actualized.org on the fundamental insight that all frames are relative, including science and even nonduality and even enlightenment! The key insight behind all my work is that I grasped that reality cannot be understood through the frame of science, nor the frame of rationality, nor any frame at all, not even the frame of nonduality, Buddhism, or enlightenment, because reality is an Infinite Mind. But even though I intuitively understood this since I was 20, it took me 12 years of creating Actualized.org content to develop the skill and clarity needed to articulate this so precisely. What were fuzzy, vague intuitions are now rigorous explicit arguments. I can explain in technical detail why science cannot make sense of Reality.

Another way to put it is that each frame is a bias, and then the fundamental insight is that Reality cannot ultimately have any biases, so no preferred frame. No preferred frame, no bias, then ultimately leads to the profoundly beautiful and counter-intuitive conclusion that even though no frame is absolute, the lack of an absolute frame IS the Absolute Frame! So the Absolute Frame is no-frame. Which is the same as all frames. No-frame and All-frames is identical. And then the final stroke of genius is that the Absolute Frame of No-Frame is literally just ontological Love. Love is the relativity of all difference and the nullification of all bias, which strange-loopily becomes the container and creator of all forms, all biases, giving rise to infinite perspective upon a seemingly material world.

God is Infinite Frames.
And Infinite Frames is LOVE.

Ta-daaaa!

Attachment to any frame is self-deception. To jailbreak your mind is to realize the Infinity of Frame, unlocking Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Love :)

This understanding of the frame problem is analogous to Einstein's discovery of General Relativity. It's like the discovery of Absolute Relativity, which is even bigger and deeper than General Relativity. And it's more important that General Relativity because it leads to the discovery of God! Imagine if Einstein proved God. That's really the basis of Actualized.org.

So yeah... Actualized.org solves the entire problem of epistemology, which is why it's so unique and powerful. It's not just some self-help or spirituality channel, it's an absolute solution to epistemology and ontology. Yeah, it took insane intelligence to solve that. The number of humans on this planet who understand the Infinity of Frame can be counted on one hand.

Even though John Vervaeke speaks beautifully about frames here, he still doesn't understand the significance of his own words. He's still operating within the frame of science, the frame of rationality, the frame of Western philosophy, the frame of academia, the frame of Buddhism, the frame of humanity, the frame of sanity.

The bottom line is, the reason Actualized.org teachings are so powerful is because they are not stuck on any frame. Not even the frame of sanity! This gives us access to Infinite Intelligence for our sense-making. I understood Reality so deeply that I realized that even sanity is just a frame. Actualized.org integrates insanity. Because sanity limits Mind too much, cutting us off from the total realization of God.

I'm pointing out to you the depth of the epistemic foundation that was necessary for Actualized.org to be what it is. This foundation was built to hold INFINITY/GOD. Those who arrogantly and irresponsibility neglect to lay this foundation end up in self-deception, missing God.

I'm trying to teach you one of the most subtle and advanced lessons of all: the importance of Epistemic Responsibility.
