Haha! They will certainly not be openminded to nonduality or mysticism or the things I teach. You have been spoiled rotten here. University will feel like prison compared to Actualized.org With that said, if you must go to university, you'll certainly be happier studying psychology and philosophy vs economics. And a psychology degree can be useful if you want to be a therapist or something like that in the future. You can learn valuable things within academic psychology. But your mind will not be jailbroken there, nor will you find the Truth there.

"The better the model, the bigger the problem."

OMG you are dumb. It's like I'm trying to teach arithmetic to mules.

No you can't! That's the whole problem! The issue is how science has defined "science". If the definition is too narrow, then you will not be able to use science to expand the definition of science because any evidence or proof for its expansion will lie outside the narrow faulty definition that science uses for itself. You're not understanding the depth of the problem. You are taking "science" for granted. But in fact science does not even know what counts as "science"! This is unknown! It cannot ever be known or defined because nature is infinite. Which means you have to stop being an arrogant ass.

This is false. He falls back on, "It's Jina's fault!"

Church = science Priests = scientists This doesn't really help your case at all. It will always be corrupt, but we can make it less corrupt. According to your logic, nothing can ever be improved because perfection is unattainable. All knowledge schemes will always be fallible, but it's long overdue for mankind and science to assimilate the lessons of meta-science which I teach. Absolute Truth exists and it can be accessed without any fallibility. The materialist, rationalist paradigm is garbage and it should have died 100 years ago. Yet it still lives on.

@Madhur Cause you're pretending to be human. You are awareness of course, but your consciousness is not in a state of infinite awareness. It's in a state of humanness.

Look, you're going to go through a greiving process and then at some point after you get it all out of your system, you will forget about it and move on with life as if it never happened. That's how life works. Shit happens to you, you stress over it, then you forget about it because it no longer matters to your survival. Regardless, all you're doing is survival. Survival, survival, survival -- every day. If you feel shitty, be kind and gentle with yourself for a while.

I doubt any voter cares or knows about Kanye. It's just noise.

@Spiral Wizard THIS is the chat. Don't fragment this community into secret sub-communities. If you got good stuff to share, share it here. Discuss it here. Why you gotta be secret about it?

No you can't! You never could because "validity" is a relativistic notion which is entangled with your epistemic, metaphysical, and methodological biases. No single law of science can be validated in isolation. ALL OF SCIENCE gets dragged into the validation process. As does, of course, your ego. Nothing in science can ever truly be validated because the scientific method has itself never been validated. Nor could it ever be because you have no criteria by which to validate it. Did you even watch my video? Cause you missed what I said. Go back and re-watch it carefully. You didn't get it at all.

@EternalForest Your logic is exactly how Catholics justify pedophilia in their Church. Outsiders complain about the pedophile priest problem and the corruption. Catholics respond: "Well, I still gotta keep going to church. It's the best we've got. Otherwise I just sit home all Sunday. So I'm gonna send my kids to the priest anyway, with the risk of them being molested, but with the possible reward of them finding Jesus." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Again, this is where you must distinguish criticism from below vs above. Right-wing critiques of feminism and progressivism is from below. I have my own critiques of feminism and progressivism from above. Of course a Creationist's critique of science is not to be taken seriously because it is from below.

Actually, science's goal isn't the bettering of science. It is mostly about advancing one's career and survival. It's very dangerous to conflate survival with truth. Which is exactly the mistake science has made.

@EternalForest Thanks for the feedback. But now consider this: Isn't it odd how any time someone like me speaks out about the bettering of science, the majority of people hear it and take the attitude of, "Shut up. Everyone knows science isn't perfect and it's already bettering itself." Can't you see that this attitude is precisely what keeps science corrupt? How can science better itself when any time someone seriously points out a problem you ignore it because you tell yourself science is the sort of thing which betters itself. Science only betters itself if you are open to contemplating its errors without defensiveness or dismissiveness. It's like when your daughter gets raped and comes forward to you and you say, "Shut up. We already know society isn't perfect. It's inherent to society to evolve and improve. This is the best we can do."

@PlasmicProjection Hehehe... It would more honest if you just admitted that you like Trump as Trump, rather than coming up with all these backwards and factually-dubious rationalizations. Better economy than Obama? Lol. Trump's economy is worse, even pre-Covid. And Trump's handling of Covid has tanked the US economy for the next 5 years. Time to stop listening to right-wing propaganda channels. Trump has not even read the Constitution. So that argument is a joke.

Lol His image for the last 10 years has been that of a decrepit vampire prostitute who escaped from an insane asylum.

Anyone who wears a MAGA hat unironically should be disbarred from political office on grounds of mental deficiency

@tuckerwphotography I was amazed this didn't already happen 30 years ago, Lol. The bar is so fucking low What's next? Pope says rock and roll music is okay?

No, that is straight up materialism. The materialist fundamentally believes that there is a objective external reality outside of human perceptions but that human perceptions are not it, and that we will probably never reach "it". But it is there. "Interfaces" is a materialist notion. What is missed by all these people is that perception IS Absolute Truth! Perception is NOT an interface at all. Interface assumes some "other" thing which is being interfaced with. But ff course no such thing can exist if reality is ONE. The interface IS reality. What else would it be? Ta-da!

Well, your question is the classic question of epistemology 101 classes as taught in universities. Like I said, the entire history of Western philosophy from Plato to Derrida is a history of guys trying to define and understand what knowledge is. It's a very hairy subject. It will forever elude your grasp. But of course you have some vague intuition of what it is. Traditional Western philosophy defines knowledge as "true justified belief". But of course every term in this definition is problematic to define, so the definition ends up being circular. In the end, knowledge is a conceptual function of Universal Consciousness and all knowledge is relativistic, dualistic, partial, biased, and finite.

Imagine a scale from 1 to 10. Fundamentalist religion is a 2. Ordinary science is a 7. Hoffman is a 9. And what's I'm trying to teach is 100,000.

It cannot be defined because it's infinite. You cannot define Infinity. Any definitions will be incomplete and devolve into paradox and contradiction due to self-reference problems. Philosophers have been trying to define "knowledge" for over 2000 years. No one has succeeded yet. That should tell you something.

He's from UCI? That's was my school

A bit of it. Not the whole thing. The dude is a massive narcissist. It works fine for music. But not for presidency. Kanye would be a worse president than Trump.
