No. It is intuitive. Mankind has succeeded in reverse engineering intuition. That's the mindfuck of our time.

Western countries think alike on these "terrorist" issues.

Material success, power, and fame do not interest me, since they can never satisfy me. What you regard as mediocrity I regard as one of the deepest minds on the planet. All depends on your values and what will satisfy you. Only you can figure that out.

The reality is that if you put ordinary plebs into the roles of elites they will either crumble under the pressure and fail, or they rise to challenge but become exactly like the old elites before them. Because the role itself has a certain survival structure which cannot be overcome other than through development of oneself, which no one is seriously doing. Politics is not a function of good guys vs bad guys.

Yes, this def happens. But what you have to understand about society is that it is a filtration system which uses sheer ambition and tenacity to filter people. To reach the top you will not be given a red carpet, you will have to slit throats, crush spines, and stab hearts. It's not enough to be skilled or educated or developed, you need that killer instinct and supernatural will to success and power. You have to want it bad enough to endure hell. Otherwise you will just be average.

I found a space kangaroo under my bed.

That's a difficult challenge but you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders and will make the best of it. Health challenges can grow and mature you a lot. They tend to strip away the fantasies real quick. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Yuppp. That's how I am with epistemology. Epistemology is just the Devil's chess.

Of course. If he took seriously things I say his life would implode. Which is why no one important listens to me. I am pure death to power.

Of course they will sell it. It's all about the $$$.

Time will tell.

Parents = Slavelords

I thought her advice was useful. Most people need very basic advice. Not alien fucking God consciousness.

To transcend neoliberalism requires exceptional development -- basically Tier 2 -- which less than 1% of the planet has. We can't transcend it just by screaming and flailing our arms. We need to raise the rest of the world first. Neoliberalism has a long way to go before it exhausts itself. It's like a booster rocket that is still only half way through its burn, but leftists are screaming to dump it.

Have not seen any of his work except Dune, which is a mixture of weirdness, grossness, and badness.

A lot of LSD ain't pure or ain't even LSD. Real LSD feels quite pure.

Hard to know in a scientific sense. Practically, not an issue.

When I was a child doing philosophy I realized how unfair it is that I own my cat. So I tried to speak of my cat without saying "my" cat, so it didn't imply that I owned her. Only to realize that the English language does not lend itself to that. Some of my early work on understanding human bias.

Musk would benefit a lot from watching my video: The Psychology Of Being Wrong. It's just for this type of situation.

What does that even mean?

@Carl-Richard For the love of God tell me that Tom is not a Trump voter.

Gaza will be an Israeli shopping mall in 20 years.

Jesus! What epistemic rot and hubris.

But the Boomers hold the power

That isn't even an option.
