My oldest vids used green screen, which cuts a few pixels off the face, making it not true to life.

They will also mature by then and learn the error of their ways. Those in charge quickly get smacked in the face by reality.

@Akemrelax Maybe it doesn't fit you because you're more in the middle. If a model doesn't work for you, just ignore it and move on to something else. For me it offers valuable insight into my personality.

In that case what are you worried about? Are spoiled children gonna take down science and universities?

Survival and reproduction are the true lies. Stop buying into that materialist foolishness.

Stop assuming any of that requires a brain. It occurs in the current moment as phenomena. It occurs in your consciousness, obviously, since that's where you find it. A video game character can do all those things without a brain. What you should be wondering is how some pink colors can think, learn, meditate, remember, etc. Your mind is not in the brain, the brain is in your mind. And mind is nowhere, nohow, and nothing.

Great! Now integrate.

STEM, just like the police, isn't going anywhere, so I wouldn't worry about it. You have to not let the latest silly or absurd fringe example color your view of the world. There is a whole business now of getting outraged at some one crazy edge-case as if it's mainstream.

I'm not sure which serious people are saying that. I think the claim is more that these fields have been heavily dominated by European white men for a long time and that more opportunities should be made for minorities.

A simple way to explain it is like this: If you cut open the skull of a video game character, you will see a "brain" there (if the designers programmed it that way). But that thing is not at all what is controlling the video game world. Perception in a video game is NOT coming from the avatar's brain or body. The brain/body is just part of the entire simulation which does not hinge on any one part within that simulation.

Science certainly has biases in it. Biases at the epistemic level, metaphysical level, and then at social and cultural levels. Is there some systemic racism and sexism in academia? Almost certainly.

As with most things, it's part-true. All models of reality are partial and limited.

Meh... Drama, drama, drama. Stay calm and carry on. It's like people want change to happen, but then as soon as it starts happening they start whining. Weinstein doesn't understand the relativity of science and materialism. Therefore he doesn't understand Post-Modernism and why it is challenging STEM. The epistemology and metaphysics of STEM needs to be questioned and deconstructed, and you're not going to stop that from happening no matter how hard you try. This is fundamentally what people like JP, Weinstein, Sam Harris, etc. do not understand. STEM and academia will never get shut down. They are just being questioned.

Because you're not in a position to appreciate the depth of the questions you're asking. If you are serious you will need to spend years and perhaps decades carefully contemplating and deconstructing all this. You are basically asking, "How does reality happen at all?" and the answer to that question is so radical that if you knew it, it would kill you. Watch more of my videos and contemplate them deeply. Nobody is going to give you these answers. You must have major awakenings to understand. Your mind is playing a game with you. It is imagining reality, and it will do everything in its power to make sure you never become aware that you are constructing reality, because otherwise reality will disappear. Your very life hinges on it.

No, you help people where you are at. Because you can't help yourself.

Congrats! You discovered why mankind invented alcohol. Lol.

If you really care about a thing you will work on it every day for years.

Reality cannot have a how. You are not seriously questioning. You're just parroting stuff humans have told you.

Can you imagine how Sam Harris has sex? He sits there calmly talking to the woman until he cums from the magnificence his own logical conclusions

Well, it grants immortality. But I guess that's not useful enough for ya

There's your answer in a nutshell. The problem is that no care enough to actually know things. So hardly anyone knows anything. The mind is simply closed. My only secret has been total openmindedness and desire to know. It sounds simple yet only one in a billion people does it. If you actually cared enough you would be the wisest person in the world. But you don't care enough.

See my video: Why Brains Do Not Exist If you cut open the skull you will see some pink stuff in there. Which is color, not really a brain. Your "brain" is made out of color. So what is color? Do not make the naive mistake of thinking that color is something which happens in the brain. NO! Brain happens in color. Your notion of "brain" is highly metaphysically loaded. By that term you don't just mean color, you use it as an anchor for your entire reality. This anchor needs to be deconstructed to see that it is nothing more than some color, not different than the colors your floor is made of.

Right... you are trapped in the materialist myth of brains and physical objects. It is good to question and deconstruct that. But that's only the begining. There is no brain at all. The brain is just a story you invented to explain the present moment. Thoughts don't happen in a brain. The brain is a thought. Take a close look at what "my brain" really is and where it came from. Deconstruct it. Raw experience is not happening inside of any thing.

You are EVERYTHING. The entire field of consciousness. Be careful with your ideas of Nothingness. Whatever ideas you have of it are not it. Awakening is not about becoming convinced of something. Awakening is not a logical conclusion or a belief. It is a new state of consciousness. You need to access a new state, rather than trying to convince yourself from within your current state.
