Just because one guy doesn't have complications or side-effects doesn't mean you won't. Imagine arguing that a new medicine is safe for the general public because one guy took a bunch of it and didn't have any side-effects.

String theory has advanced so far that they no longer even need to do studies or experiments. Sorta like religion.

It does for Nazis. "Better world" is a relative notion on which no two people agree.

Christianity is literally a personality cult. Just because you can fool yourselves into believing it doesn't mean it's good for you.

Empty talk which will result in nothing.

I get headaches from vape pens. It's caused by the e-liquid. It's not healthy for you. Try vaping it without the pen and see if you still get headaches. With that said, chronic use of 5-MeO-DMT can definitely result in damage to your system and brain. That's not just a myth. So be careful. Don't overdo it.

Yes, of course. I am not advocating zero rigor. Anyways, you guys are acting dense as Dave here, so I'll leave you to it. No one here understands the trickeries of understanding reality. Stop kidding yourselves. Such arrogance.

Rigor itself is a bias and will lead you to getting stuck. As I said, the notion of rigor is relative and subjective. So whatever you consider rigor to be, your mind will use that to lock you into a paradigm. Rigor is not the same thing as truth. The only proper priority must be truth, not anything else. And even that is a bias. If you are not aware of these biases you will fall into self-deception. As every scientist on this planet has done.

String theory is full of BS. There is plenty of BS in physics. Because everything hinges on it. The point is that you cannot define a method for truth because it is infinite and non-algorithmic. Good luck getting Dave to understand this. No it doesn't. And whatever definition you create will lead to falsehoods. Yes it is. Certainly rigor is problematic.

Then how come something like 50% of scientific studies fail to replicate? Lack of rigor within science. And the problem with this notion of "rigor" is that it's very much subjective and biased. I could argue that ignoring evidence of the paranormal is lack of rigor on the part of materialists like Dave. The problem is that Dave claims to be rigorous but he isn't. If he was truly rigorous he would not be a materialist. Science defines rigor in a circular manner as whatever aligns with its dogmas.

As does Dave. Every criticism of pseudoscience applies to science itself. It takes astounding bias not to recognize that.

Ironically, Dave is the prime example of science as dogma. Science doesn't have to be dogma, but when a mind as arrogant as Dave's gets ahold of it, dogma it becomes. Dave's buffoonery makes science look stupid.

Don't use this thread to try to ban people.

Welcome

@UnbornTao I didn't say anything about his degree of awakening. That's besides the point here.

Ken Wilber knows what he's talking about. He's not a bullshitter.

Or just out of touch as a teacher.

There is no time limit on the ban.

@Past-Philosopher-562 I don't see anything special with regards to INTP in developing consciousness. It's tough work regardless of your personality type.

I spoil you guys with examples. Most teachers do not.

@Vrubel I warned you guys. I will ban anti-Israeli biased people as well if I see them doubling down.

Seems okay.

@Lila9 You have been blocked from posting on the Politics sub-forum. I just warned you. And you double-down.

I am not allowed. I was not born in the US.

I see it as you lacking the consciousness to be objective.
