Try spending 10 years contemplating what science is. Lol, of course it is, silly. No it can't. Symbolic statements are not truth at all. Because otherwise you cannot make sense of any term, nor do you have a way of testing. A scientist can't account for that if he is in denial of it -- which, like you, he is. You can't account for something you aren't conscious of. You are incapable of hearing them because as soon as they are spoken to you, your mind will immediately reject them because you will judge them as unscientific because they lie outside your narrow definitions of "science". You assume your mind is open, but it is only open as far as the limits of your method. And hence your have blinded yourself without understanding how or why. Your position is this: "I will gladly listen to any evidence as long as it confirms what I already believe. Now show me where I'm wrong."

@Corpus Well said. We'll be talking about this a lot more in Science Part 2. -
Women are more intuitive than men, and they are more right-brained or whole-brained whereas men are more left-brained analytical. This certainly affects consciousness work. Many men are closed off from spirituality because they are so mechanical, rational, and autistic-like. Many women even have psychic intuitive abilities. Which is why women are much more into horoscopes and other woo-woo stuff. Men have a hard time understanding this because men try to grasp everything rationally, which off course is far too limited. But men can also be a lot more serious when they get into spirituality. They can be more hardcore about it than women. And hardcore discipline is important to get serious results. Women tend to be too fluffy and lovey-dovey in their approach, which produces less results like serious awakening. Each style has its pros and cons. Edit: Please note, these are gross generalizations. There will be plenty of exceptions.

Nobody is gonna support you in building a self-actualized life. Nobody. Not only will they not support you, they will drag you down. That's why you must take charge and lead yourself. Humans are a flock of sheep headed off a cliff, and they insist on your company. -
@Gesundheit A lot deeper, with many new points. I could do 100 videos on how science works, and they would all be valuable.

I don't see Biden having enough balls to pack the court. That would only happen under a serious progressive. And even then, it's a long-shot. Packing the court is a pipe dream. And it would only be a short-term fix that further divides the country.

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.

@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.
