This is an amazingly profound set of lectures. The 2nd one especially, but it builds off of the 1st, so you should watch them both.
Part 1 — Chaos & Reductionism:
Part 2 — Emergence & Complexity
This is an example of science done well, from a stage Yellow perspective. It shows you some of the limitations of classical science and how science is evolving. I have not yet covered chaos theory and fractals, but I will in the future and this is a good primer. You should learn the difference between linear and non-linear systems. This set of lectures sets a nice foundation for my series on Holons, Holism, and Holistic Thinking. Think of this as an intro to holism, but merely an intro. To fully grasp its significance you gotta watch and contemplate my holism videos.
And then stay tuned for my future videos on Chaos Theory and Fractals, which will tie everything together with nondual epistemology and metaphysics. And then Evolution and Creativity will tie things together even further!
OMG, sometimes I just can't bear the stupidity of scientific and rationalist thinking.
To say, "Infinity is fake", is the single most fallacious statement one could utter.
This clip epitomizes how clueless mathematicians and scientists are about the nature of reality, and even their own conceptual constructions:
Infinity is the only real thing there is. Infinity is reality itself.
YOU. ARE. INFINITY!
The reason scientists and mathematician and logicians and atheists and rationalists fear and try to avoid infinity is because the realization of infinity collapses all their finite, dualistic mental constructions. Modern science is built on a foundation of the denial of infinity. Because to realize infinity is to realize that science and rationality can have no foundation. It is also the collapse of all models, systems of knowledge, materialism, realism, and formalism.
These people have PhD's, but the epistemic intelligence of door-knobs.
Be ware of public intellectuals who sound like they are speaking intelligently or rigorously when they are really just parroting materialism.
I stumbled upon this cool form of therapy in Las Vegas: Ketamine IV infusion.
There are clinics in Vegas, California, and Ohio called Klarity Clinic. As their website says, they offer "off-label ketamine therapy for treatment of major depression, severe anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), drug and alcohol addiction, chronic headaches (including migraines) and pain syndromes."
I haven't done it myself (don't really have a personal need), but I'm sure plenty of you might benefit from knowing this kind of thing is available and legal. Here's a look at how it works:
This is basically legalized psychedelics available from legit doctors in the US. Now you have no excuse to not try psychedelics. Although it's not gonna beat a proper psychedelic done solo in the comfort of your own home.
P.S. Ketamine is technically an anesthetic and dissociative, but it still has powerful psychedelic-like effects on consciousness. Ketamine can be addictive and physically damaging to certain organs if over-used.
So, I got the second dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine. I'm now fully vaccinated and I wanted to share my direct experiences of it, for those of you who are hesitant or cynical.
The only side-effect I got from the first dose was a sore arm for a few days.
The only side-effect I got from the second dose was a sore arm for a few days and 1 day of fatigue where I slept longer than usual. I needed about 12 hours of sleep that day. But I had zero flu-like symptoms. Just fatigue. It lifted on the 2nd day.
Aside from that, there is no difference in how I feel or my level of consciousness. In fact, I've been feeling more conscious, clear-headed, inspired, and energetic than usual lately. So those who sow seeds of doubt that this vaccine will somehow interfere with your spirituality or your consciousness are talking out of their ass. If anything will interfere with your spiritual work, it's catching Covid unimmunized.
So at least from my direct experience the vaccine is harmless. Of course some people may still experience stronger side-effects. But the side-effects of Covid itself are way worse and more common.
Don't let ignorant people fear-monger you. Get your vaccine today.
This libertarian basically became his own feudal lord in Belize:
McAfee was arrested in 2020 for tax evasion and also charged with running illegal crpyto-currency pump and dump schemes.
A perfect example of what libertarianism leads to when implemented in the real world.
Beyond merely a game, this video showcases two of the deepest aspects of intelligence: counter-intuitiveness and holism.
An inferior Go player cannot appreciate the move of a superior Go player because the inferior player lacks the scope of holistic vision necessary to put the move into its proper context. Therefore making the move counter-intuitive. The smartest move, seen from a narrow perspective, appears stupid. And to a fool, great wisdom appears like foolishness. Great wisdom can only be appreciated from a holistic enough perspective. Moves that seem bad from a small picture view are actually the highest good in the big picture view.
There is a deep analogy here between the intelligence of playing games and the intelligence of the structure of Universe. See, the finite human mind is unable to see the Infinite Intelligence and Love behind moves such as theft, murder, torture, abuse, suffering, pain, etc. That's because understanding these things requires an infinitely wide view of the entire board.
Consider this possibility: if you became conscious enough to see the ENTIRE board of reality, and if you played through every possible scenario — infinite scenarios for an infinite number of years — what you'd realize is that reality is Perfect exactly as it is. Reality IS always the best possible move when seen from an infinitely holistic perspective.
If you think there is a problem with the world, that just means you're not seeing far enough moves ahead. And if you're seeing far enough ahead, then you will become unable to find a problem with the world.
There are no flaws. The design of reality is PERFECT. The only question is, will you ever become conscious enough to see it?
