No, I mean higher than 99.9999999999% of all humans who ever lived. But I can't account for every genetic freak on the planet. It's like you're asking me if a chimpanzee can be born with human consciousness. Maybe. But that's pretty farfetched. I don't know how it would blend with health problems.

I still hold out hope that maybe some day I could live from that state as my default. But that's a long shot.

@Bobby_2021 You know, the wealthyist man in the world in all of history was some king in the middle of Africa. And so what? What did that do for that African country's development? Nothing.

That's easy. The real trick is seeing the things you're not seeing.

Yes, of course. It is part of this world. But human concepts would be like giving Albert Einstein finger paintings from a chimpanzee and hoping that he can somehow educate the chimpanzee about General Relativity through finger paintings.

It was an inside joke. You had to be there.

Of course people don't vote on policy. Values != policy. Values are first and foresome vibes. Banning gays is values. Deporting browns is values. Owning Libs is values.

You drew a circle from some 3rd person disembodied perspective, like a drone camera shot. That is not solipsism.

@Carl-Richard He wasn't talking about a big circle. He was talking about Ken Wilber's circle.

No, it just doesn't work like that. Your IQ test could be lower in that state. IQ is some human game. Imagine you meet an alien and you try to give him your IQ test. It's silly.

If solipsism is true there was no Jesus.

The video is there for you to replay. He was prefectly clear. Just don't project your stuff onto what he says. Listen with a blank mind.

My biggest advice is to identify all your biases and choose the pursuit of truth and epistemic developement over social justice and whatever other misplaced loyalities you have. Focus on epistemology and construct-awareness, not politics. You have to go meta and stop playing Game A.

"Wealthiest nation" is a misleading measure. The reality is that most Indians were still wiping their asses with their hands. So your point is meaningless. The British are not why India is underdeveloped today. If anything Indians today are better off thanks to British rule, ugly though it was.

You can still experience this world. It is just recontextualized. It's close enough that it could be possible. A human and a rat can still interact even though they have very different consciousness. If a human ever meets an alien, obviously the alien will have much higher consciousness of reality than any nondual/Buddhist human. My case is very unique so you shouldn't draw any general conclusions from it.

Love you too.

Green people need a whack with a broom to the head. Maybe that will free up some space for Yellow.

Please stop this cringe.

That is NOT what Wilber said.

Most important for this discussion is the development of government structures, organization, and markets. But also science and tech. It's hard to have high moral development when you are riding around on a camel and shitting in the sand.

That IS development. The West was pretty developed before 1500. Finding new lands was the natural extension of their development. Of course plundering new land helped super-charge development.

I know. That's why I call it domination of a minority group.

I acknowledge all that. But it's too late now.

It's all good man, just don't use them for a few years. You will be all right.
