I rewatched the meeting a few times. I am almost certain that Vance, being the avatar of the oligarchs, is having a parallel agenda. You can see him setting traps for Zelenskyy (commenting on conscription, “disrespect”, etc) and egging Trump (saying Zelenskyy was talking to the opposition, i.e democrats). At the end, he was smiling.

What is the structure and dynamics of consciousness all the way from mind to matter?

That’s a given. Tis why Zelensky has been standing up to Trump for those security guarantees.

Amen to the nature of intelligence post. The free energy and active inference principles are lenses that allow one to see intelligence from the level of particles to that of ecosystems (a la Michael Levin, Karl Friston, Chris Fields) That is what will sit at the basis of the upcoming scientific paradigm - liberating it from the shackles of materialism and anthropocentrism and beginning the study of the intelligence of all systems and on all levels, be it physical or “platonic”. I am glad to see you warming up to the deep spirituality of true Mathematics. Order isn’t a coincidence. It is the logical necessity of existence.

What are you classifying as “human domain”? Does it include posthumanist constructs or are you simply referring to self-development stuff? I have largely left the anthropocentric realms, but there still seems to be an ability to compress on the level of meta-dynamics and complexity structures.

The last post about relativity raises a point that is so under appreciated. It reminded me of my favourite quotes from Leibniz:

Thanks for sharing. It is a mission of mine to explore as many psychs as possible, Shulgin-style. Are there any other particularly cognitive that you have found other than O-PCE?

The US is indeed declining, but Europe is in no shape to take up the mantle. We are more so seeing a fracturing of geopolitical poles without a unifying hegemony.

I’m with you. That’s such a red flag for cognitive development, let alone being a spit to the face of what I represent as an immigrant.

I have no qualms with sucking big tech dry to get to a few billion (B2B, SaaS). Some pretty systemic changes can be done with surgical use of money. Could give a fuck about some mansions.

The amount of russian talking points in this thread is baffling. Unless your country had been colonised by the soviets or is a puppet state like Belarus, you don’t understand what is at stake for Ukraine.

Zelensky has some balls. The neo-colonial orange clown thought he could do whatever. The credibility of the US is evaporating like a snowman in the Sahara.

I’m a South-Eastern European living currently in the US. Cost of living is indeed high, but so are the opportunities. Nothing where I’m from even comes close, without even accounting for the mafia and corruption.

My average is about 6. I probably have some form of insomnia cuz even after a 4h night of sleep I sometimes find it hard to fall asleep. 20 min naps and creatine help a lot.

What is your view on evolutionary epistemology and the ontology of abstraction hierarchies? I contest that evolution and transcendence have ontological basis and are not simply features of perspectives. You cannot get past the fact that reality operates on many layers.

That’s an important point. Leo brought it up in the low vs high perspective video. Tis the reason grifters and con artists are always hyper charismatic.

The key here is the name Curtis Yarvin that @Emerald brought up here and @Rafael Thundercat in another thread. Read his butterfly revolution post on the grey mirror substack. JD Vance has mentioned him by name as an inspiration. Point is, this isn’t about fear or pessimism. This is what is happening. Brace for it.

Such shallow content.

This is just horrid.

This is very interesting. I have found great value in the visuals, especially when I am in a math research state of mind. Might have to wait on the 5meo retreats until after the Fields medal lol.

Now change that to the type of oligarchy the Russians have. Demonization would be the tamest form of attack. Part of the reason I have been so blackpilled in the last 2 years. No single man can euthanise the cancerous formation, but unless one attempts to save the organism, it will die. If I have to leave goodness out of it, I will.

So would you agree that it is possible for systematic change to be achieved by a benevolent/ enlightened monarch, akin to Socrates’ “philosopher-king”?

How many have actually read the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12948

Good analysis is almost prophetic at times. A lot of neo-nazis are not aware they are becoming one. It is more a psychological phenomenon, similar to RedPill and BlackPill cultures.

The Limbic system. Would make them an interesting case study for psychedelics and MDMA specifically.
