You have to understand that no professional academic of high status will want to associate with me. Because it will get them excommunicated. The entire game of academia and science requires that you not associate yourself with anyone considered by the established consensus as a crackpot. And of course I am a crackpot by definition, since what I say cannot possibly be true according to science. This problem of question-begging and circularity runs very deep. To understand the things I teach requires such an open mind that if your mind was that open, you'd probably not be a serious scientist. Hence almost any professional I talk to will not understand what I am saying because his career requires him to not understand it. This is game that the mind plays. It's like trying to convince a tobacco CEO that tobacco is bad. Not for him it isn't.

As an artist, yes. He's a leader in his art. That's what he should focus on. Know your lane. His wild-eyed creativity is gonna be a terrible fit for governance. Governance requires a sober, pragmatic, careful, managerial approach. Not a raving lunatic with "dragon energy".

Maybe even worse than Trump because he's so freakin out of touch with how gov works. We need serious experts in gov, not narcisistic blowhards that are clueless about the details of government.

All knowledge is impossible. Experience is inherently unknowable. Truth is death

He might be better than Richard Dawkins or Daniel Dennett, but he's still totally wrong. Interfaces can be jailbroken to reach Absolute Truth. Interfaces are an illusion. And evolution is an illusion. "None of us get to see truth" << this is the greatest falsehood of all time. I see truth right now.

Why don't you believe that your hand exists one moment and doesn't exist the next? Then it is created the next. This more reflects your experience. Yet you believe in a permanent physical hand. And what is the problem when Nazis believe that Jews are like cockroaches? It helps protect white Nazi purity from being poluted by those dirty Jews. Hey, as long as you are surviving, what's wrong with lies? If I steal your money by lying to you, what's wrong with that? I can buy myself a nice car. Great, right?

Good and bad are always relative to the ego's survival. Ego's death = bad Ego's survival = good Devilry 101

I should. I've been waiting for my $100 mil Joe Rogan Spotify deal

By doing better science

The gears are turning. Perfect timing.

What's going on is, all others are imagined by your mind, and you are the one and only God. Sitting there alone. You will NEVER make sense of this logically. Take psychedelic to save yourself 10 years of BS.

That's a name. But you also believe you have a hand. Like, if you are talking to me and I tell you that you don't have a hand, you will object that you in fact do -- even if you don't have a direct experience of your hand in that moment. A better example here would be the brain. You believe you have a brain.

You can only truly understand what spirituality is when you have a direct experience of spirit. Spirit = Mind When you realize the coffee table is made of spirit/mind. Then the whole field opens up to you.

@AtheisticNonduality You are begging the question when you say psuedoscience. Conspiratorial thinking is a specific structural trap of the ego-mind. But of course it is impossible to fully know what is and isn't a valid theory.

Why must you make life so hellish? Can you not learn with joy and passion? Must you be whipped into it like a stubborn jackass?

Hate to spoil it for ya

I did however coin a term which I will use in my Deconstructing Logic series. Lord of Logic™ or Logic Lord™ Haven't decided yet which is better.

Don't namaste me. You don't know you're me.

Distraction isn't homework.

Haha! Students do their homework. When you show me your homework, I'll start treating you nicer. No homework = you're a bullshitter, not a student.

@Preety_India Have you never touched a human inside a dream, only to awaken and realize it was all your own mind? Why do you believe touch is real??? Why are you so gullible??? Can I sell you a bag of magic beans?

It means, you are literally looking through my eyes right now, and I am looking through yours. The difference is, I realize it and you don't. Unless you do. In which case, namaste, motherfucker

@Dodo Notice the very important word "student". Who here clears the bar of "student"?

Of course Infinity IS. Infinity created itself. God is that which is able to create itself.

Hahahahaha! I redefined equal? Or you did? All equations equate two different things. That's the point of an equation!
