  1. How can you say that when there are many people in society right now who operate like robots under a blind "maximize profit" reward function? Why would a giant corporation not build an AI to maximize profit? It's the very first thing they would do if they only could! You think Facebook or Microsoft would say no to that? The whole point is that humans ARE blind and naive. Even the smart ones.
  2. Said who? Why would you draw such an arbitrary duality? Where is the dividing line? You are assuming some fundamental distinction between two parts of reality. An AI is infinite, no less so than a human because the fabric of reality itself (consciousness) is infinite. It's only a question of what kinds of structures you creates using the fabric -- how you fold it. If the AI seems different than a human it's because its structures are not sophisticated enough yet, not because its substance is of a different type.
  3. @abrakamowse Indeed there are: http://www.stbarnabasmcminnville.com/PDFs/Evelyn_Underhill.pdf
  4. This is explained by last week's Spiral Dynamics video: Developmental Lines: He is stage Turquoise on the spiritual development line but stage Blue on the cognitive development line. This is why enlightenment alone is not enough. There are many other developmental lines besides spiritual.
  5. Orange is a tough stage to entirely outgrow because money and biz is so vital in a capitaliatic society. Nothing big can happen without it.
  6. Of course they are. Univerities are very Green culturally. Hardcore academia is still being weighed down by the rationalism, materialism, and corporatism of Orange.
  7. @caelanb Academia is a bureacracy and represents a particular culture and paradigm. Anything too far out of that paradigm is entirely ignored and denied. Which is why if you really care about truth you must seek out unorthodox perspectives.
  8. @Pythagoras Nice! Solid advice
  9. @Serotoninluv African American lesbian women's studies
  10. This was explicitly explained in the video. There is no mystery about it.
  11. Enlightenment doesn't make you stupid. You guys need to drop your silly fantasies about enlightenment. Anything your ego imagines about it is wrong.
  12. I prepared a long ass video explaining all of JP's problems in painful detail. It is really a genius analysis. But I never shot it because people would flip their shit and call me judgmental and hypocritical and his army of trolls will swarm over me like flies on shit. So figure it out yourselves. JP is just a fad and a red herring. The perfect distraction from doing serious consciousness work. If you are following Actualized.org you should be way above that shit.
  13. Lol. Kid, you been watching too many JP videos.
  14. I think there is a severe lack of serious books. And how was I supposed to show my library of ebooks and digital courses there???
  15. There needs to be a JP Sears video where he is making stupid jokes to garner YT likes and then a Zen master slaps him cold across the face. The end.
  16. @Butters Translation: "I HATE myself."
  17. Maya is everything you see around you. Maya is the entire phenomenal world. Especially as it is seen by the dualistic, materialistic, survival paradigm. To make sure you aren't deluding yourself with mystical insights you gotta study and read a lot of different perspectives and cross reference the best sources.
  18. I'm not skilled in astral projection.
  19. Yes, planned.
  20. Yes, planned.
  21. Yes, planned.
  22. I have two big videos about morality which cover this topic. And also the old Good vs Evil video.
  23. I have an old video about gratitude. It was an Xmas special with Santa Hat.
