Right. Which is why what I said doesn't make sense to you. That's not an accident.
No. That's not what I'm talking about.
I've done a lot of socialization. And what I eventually realized is that none of it truly satisfies me. Even when I go really deep with someone, it's still too shallow.
What I'm talking about is a mind that is not satisfied by socializing because it is fundamentally too shallow no matter how good you do it.
Understanding such a mind will be challenging for most humans because they don't have it. Which is the whole point of why I made my blog post. The blog post is actually very profound. The profundity of it might take someone two decades to appreciate. Maybe never if you don't have the right kind of mind.
Depth of mind cannot be about competition, because competition is shallow. There is no satisfaction in beating another human. This satisfaction is for shallow minds.

Introversion is the avoidance of socialization because it is found vapid and unsatisfying relative to the effort and hassle required.
Women find humans beings more interesting than men do, because their survival requires that. Men are not so interested in humans but more interested in things. So that is also an overlooked factor.

The most important insight I had about that, is that when you run a public company you are effectively taking on the endless survival attachment. You're not just attached to the survival of all your employees, but all the stockholders. This effectively makes it impossible to ever break free from survival because you have infinite mouths to feed endlessly.
In a small private company you can transcend survival by earning enough to feed a small number of mouths. But with a public company this is impossible because all your investors demand endless increasing growth. Which is equivalent to endless pressure to do evil. No amount of evil is ever enough in such a system.
So the #1 thing you must do to avoid evil is not make your business publicly traded.

Ambition is just a core personality trait. In that case it doesn't have any satisfaction or end. Ambition means you want the best, the biggest, the most significant, the perfect. You want to be the best in the world at something so its own sake. Like, you want to be best and biggest bank robber in the world.
Of course ambition can also be fueled by various negative problems in the psyche like not receiving enough love, feeling fundamentally inadequate or unlovable, needing endless narcissistic supply, getting high on fame or power, megalomania, needing a sense of meaning to avoid facing the meaningless of life and your own death, childhood trauma, etc.
Or, you could just be driven to do the most good in the world because you want to live the best life possible. And doing the most good requires having lots of power, wealth, and influence.
If you really wanted to improve the world, you would earn billions and then use it to fund philanthropic projects.

1) Most people who have deep understanding of God had help from the right genetics.
2) Hegel was enrolled in religious training. He was basically a quasi mystic. He did it through Christianity from what I gather. Hardcore serious Christians can do such things, especially with the right genetic foundation.
Don't forget, there's also a rich history of theology. You can learn serious truth from theology if you pick the right sources. I bet Hegel studied serious Christian theology.
It's like you're asking, Why did Newton discover calculus or Einstien E=mc2? Obviously they were freakishly intelligent, unique minds.

It is not a hodge-podge of all emotions.
There is an experience of metaphysical Unity. That's what is actually happening. And then your mind has an emotional response to that experience, which feels like a very powerful human love. Like the love you might have for your child.
It's like if you saw an alien stalking you at night. You would react with the emotion of terror. But the alien itself is not an emotion. The alien is more real than your emotional reaction to it.
Emotion is not part of the fabric of reality. But Love is, because Love is not an emotion. Love is a deeper thing. Love is a function of Consciousness which transcends emotion but often mixes with the emotion that humans call love. Since Love is everything it manifests itself in many ways which are difficult to see without enough intelligence and consciousness. You can see when someone loves you. But you cannot see that God loves you because your mind is very rigid and disconnected. God's love is so subtle that you'd have to elevate yourself to God's level to recognize it. God's love must be metaphysical or it would not be Infinite and highest. God's love has to be much deeper than an emotion because emotions are just contingent temporary things. God's love has to be absolute. Because it's absolute it's hard for you to recognize it.

That's easily solved by etching your seed key on a steel plate.
It's called a Cold Wallet:

Paying 5% to trade gold is miserable.

You can't control suffering directly.
The only solution besides living properly is to observe it mindfully and let go trying to stop it.
Drop the fantasy that you will become immune to feeling pain. Pain comes and you just feel it.
I don't know him enough to say.

Contemplation alone is very unlikely to cause an awakening. A change in state is needed. Change in state is created by either days of nonstop meditation or psychedelics.
Depends on how you wanna define your terms. There is much to comprehend about Consciousness. Way more than nondual people say. Do not be fooled by the simpleton nondualists.

I didn't say I made money in stocks. I meant I started my biz.
Obviously the lesson is to buy when everyone else is drowning in their own blood.
The best time to buy stocks in 1 year into a solid bloodly crash when hope is 0%. You must do exactly the opposite of what everyone is doing. If fools are buying, you sell. If fools are selling, you buy.
You gauge the market by what the fools are into, and do the opposite.

There is no space. There is only Consciousness. Consciousness is infinitely divisible and has infinite resolution.
Scientists are stupid.

Not crazy, just a matter of lifestyle.
Some people like a carrot stuck in their ass and some don't.
The key is to get very clear about which type you are.
Also, remember, life is long and you will go through phases. Social phases, secluded phases.

@Daniel Balan I have a YT playlist called Epistemology which contains many of my epistemology related videos.
But I teach about epistemology all across my work.
And I am always creating more new epistemology videos.
My post-modernism series is one example. My deconstructing science is another.
If you want to develop an epistemic foundation you need to adopt an attitude of skepticism towards all human knowledge and do your own private inquiry into how anything at all could be known? Only by doing this inquiry will you see how truthful knowing is generated.
Do not confuse epistemic inquiry with self-inquiry.

Yes, all that coming soon.
It's not that hard. Truth is your entire field of experience. Anything you experience is truth. But be careful not to conflate raw experience with your thoughts and concepts about it.
You start by distinguishing direct experience from all concepts. And you ground yourself in direct experience. Then you use that to sort through all human concepts.
Just look at your hand. That is truth. It is thoughts about your hand which create falsehoods and illusions. You could also have truthful thoughts but that requires very careful thinking.

This is a great place to start.
You want to use truth to ground yourself, orherwise the mind devolves into conceptual fantasies and illusions.
What I said is even more fundamental than that.
"Trump is a devil" is a conceptual judgment. If you just look at your raw experience of Trump without any concepts you will not see any devil. You will not even see a human. You will see computer screens and photographs. Raw experience strips away all the mental noise, labels, and categories. This grounds you in raw reality. This cleanses the mind of trash.
By doing this exercise you will realize that you don't even know if Trump exists as a human. All you have are photographs of him. That's the truth.

The reframe is that handling this much money responsibly is just the next step of your development. Handling money and big deals is a skill. So developing that skill is the real gold here. Money is just a resource and you will train yourself how to manage resources effecticvely to do good in the world. Doing good in the world requires good resource management. You will put these resources toward actualizing yourself and improving the world.
Visualize all this in your mind every day until you are clear that this is just what your path needs.
If that fails, I am happy to hold on to your money

Obviously people have done it.
Whether you can do it depends on your health, energy levels, work ethic, personality type, and many other factors.
Depends very much on your career and how busy/distracted it makes you.
You can do career in many ways. You can also build up a career and then afford some time off for side pursuits.
Are you going to get Awakened while running a Fortune 500 public company? Probably not.
You have to strategically design your lifestyle around your top values. There will be difficult tradeoffs because you can't have it all at once. But you can space your goals out over 20-40 years.
In the early stages of building a career, most of your energy should go into the career. But after a few years of that you can ease back on career and have time for other pursuits.

Yes, Owen is a sleazy marketer, however he also pioneered a lot of important concepts within pickup and just motivated and inspired a lot of people into seeing its potential. So he does deserve credit for that.
As said above, you should not be listening to Owen for his politics but his other good advice. You gotta get good at cutting out the corrupt parts of people because most people are corrupt in some way.

Of course now it is all intertwined in a hairy corrupt mess such that you cannot seperate the good from the bad.
That's how the devil achieves victory.

The trouble with the world is that everyone is so busy doing good that no one stops to appreciate how relative good is. How their finite and biased sense of good is hurting others.
That's precisely why democracy is so crucial. Democracy is the recognition that everyone has a different notion of good, which requires a mechanism for integration.

@zurew
The problem is that nobody is conscious of what observation really is.
Observation is Existence/Truth.
The only reason anyone can know anything is because things are illuminated by virtue of being Truth or Existing.
Observation is not some material process. It is Truth being True.
The reason you can know God is the reason you can know anything. Because its True. If nothing was true, nothing would be known or observed.
Knowing is Being.

The issue is that his ideas of what is good for mankind are very different from yours. And you should not be so sure that your ideas are the correct ones.
Good is relative.
It is not at all clear what is good for mankind. That's the issue.

It is true that spirituality increases suffering in the short and medium term because it requires confronting difficult existential and psychological matters. The ego will not go quietly.
But everything valuable in life has a price.
Do you really expect immorality and God to be for free? Without a price?
Clearly there must be a high price otherwise everyone would have God. God is not chosen because no one wants to endure the price.
Sometimes the price of spiritualiry gets so high you wonder whether you'd be more net happier if you never even started.
Spirituality is a very long investment. And most people are poor investors, unable to stay in long.
It's also not right for everyone, and might only become suitable for you later in life.

Yes. It is limited.
This is not a good argument.
Why are you assuming Orange cannot have a strong desire to do good? Any stage can have that. The question is what "good" means. One's notions of good is relative to one's stage. Also the key is HOW ones goes about doing that good. Whatever Musk's vision of the good, the fact is that HOW he plans to go about is through top-down king-like control. He is incapable of sharing power. This clearly shows that he has yet to integrate Green.
Musk's intellect is nothing unusual for Orange. Orange people can be highly intelligent in a technical sense. Orange makes for a good CEO. But that CEO mindset is not robust enough to deal with higher collective social problems.
You think Hitler or Bin Landen didn't have a strong desire to do good? The issue is that one's stage of development determines what that means and how egoically that will play out. Bin Landen's vision of good meant blowing up buildings. Musk's vision of good means blowing up government bureaucracy without even understanding what it does. Neither is intelligent.
Trump is a poor standard to compare against. Trump is particularly toxic and broken. Trump isn't just pure Orange, he has weird Red aspects too. So, yeah, Musk is more evolved than Trump, but that doesn't mean much because Trump is as low as the bar can be set.
Do not assume that Orange means a person resembles Trump. This is an insult to most Orange people. Study some healthy examples of Orange people.

This is a trap.
The problem with this overly simplistic take is that you cannot stop thinking. Life will force you to think, and if you don't train how to think properly you will end up thinking improperly and fall into self-deception.
Improper thinking is the default. No one is born a great thinker.
If you follow that guy's advice you will end up an enlightened anti-vax, Jews-run-the-world, election-was-stolen, Trump voter.
Also what this guy misses is that thinking is an art that can connect you to the beauty and intelligence of God. Thinking can be a spiritual activity in itself and it generates valid and useful insight.
I agree that reading philosophy books is largely a waste of time. Real philosophy is done in your mind.
