  1. ...when you say criticizing ideas with logic/perspective is ok, I think you aren't considering that you can't transcend logic/perspective through your logic/perspective. Hitting you with a stick may wake you up.
  2. Look at these kids... Arguing with themselves.
  3. You can also skip stairs... The more stairs you skip, the more likely you fall flat on your face.
  4. I had enough of the talking head. Can we see more vlogs from Vegas? @Leo Gura
  5. When people don't want to think for themselves, they will pay someone on stage to think for them.
  6. Understanding comes from within yourself. Ideas come from outside yourself. What I just gave you is an idea, not understanding.
  7. Understanding is a direct experience of a thing. People can give you ideas, but only you can understand those ideas or misunderstand them. To truly understand something, is to become that thing. Until you understand it, you must stand bellow it. When you understand it, you stand above it. Understanding is the middle ground between below and above.
  8. Dude... He published the most advanced video ever. Check out the Party in Vegas series... Try to contemplate what those videos mean.. it is too advanced. @Sempiternity Don't expect gifts from others. The greatest gift is the One you can give to yourself.
  9. Where did we lose the cup? Your questions are not my cup of tea.
  10. Spirituality explained in 37 minutes...
  11. It is not about what you see. It is about what you become!
  12. He is a foot soldier precisely because he doesn't understand himself. In the military, you don't need to understand anything other than the words of your commander. You are there to follow orders and protect imaginary borders.
  13. Wanted to share this Whitepaper on the future of Governance. Abstract. Democracies are typically seen as governments which call upon the governed to make the major decisions of government: who shall lead, what policies to follow, what laws to enact. In all these matters democracies call upon ordinary citizens to make complex decisions with eventful consequences. We do not call upon ordinary untrained citizens to perform surgery, fly airplanes, design computers, or carry out the other myriad tasks needed to keep society functioning, what makes governance different? The problem is readily understood: if we give governance to “experts” they will make decisions in their own best interests, not in the best interests of us all. As we have seen too often in the past, this leads to enrichment of a small elite and the enslavement or worse of the vast majority. Can we take advantage of the expertise of the best and brightest, while insulating the system from attempts they might make to gain control? Modern research into “the wisdom of crowds” provides new insights into how to combine the expertise of all participants without handing over control to “experts”. Combined with research on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), this allows us to design a new form of democracy which is more stable, less prone to erratic behavior, better able to meet the needs of its citizens, and which better uses the expertise of all its citizens to make high-quality decisions. We call this new form of democracy a DAO Democracy. Full Paper: https://merkle.com/papers/DAOdemocracyDraft.pdf
  14. Why are you fragmenting your identity based on the setting? The goal is to incorporate both the feminine and masculine within the same identity, without doing the fragmentation. Otherwise, you fall out of integrity with yourself based on your environment.
  15. You just don't get the vibes, man. Get the vibes!
  16. You have different military ranks. The top general of an army could be turquoise because he must think holistically if he commands an army of million people. As you go down the military ranks, you are going down the spiral. Most average soldiers are a combination of red/blue.
  17. What is your vision about the science conducted 100-500 years from now? What do you see?
  18. Although the universe is non-casual, within it, exist systems that are causal. You can predict cause/effects within smaller systems through understanding. Understanding closes causal loops. In our current reality, we don't have a full understanding of a First Order cause/effect. For example, @ardacigin your article was the cause for me to respond. This is an example of First Order cause/effect. You didn't have an idea that I will reply. Second-Order cause/effect will be imagining the effect this article will have on anyone who will read this post. Imagine before writing this post, you were able to see what direct effects(emotional, change of understanding, life direction, etc) could have on anyone who read the post. Third-Order cause/effects will take an account of how those who read this post indirectly influenced the course of history by trickling down effects to those who didn't read it. Can you imagine that before you wrote this post, somehow you were able to see its effects throughout history? Your reality is probabilistic precisely because you lack understanding of the First, Second, Third, Infinite.. -order effects of your actions. The highest understanding is understanding of the Self. The only reason why the universe is probabilistic is because it must account for the actions of the small self until it realizes the Self.
  19. It is his most advanced stuff I have seen yet. So many insights...
  20. The limit of conceptualization is the beginning of realization. The dead-end of others is only the begging of you.
  21. It's a Shakespearean play. If you can see the Comedy in the Tragedy, you are on the right path. If you only see the Tragedy, you have not learned the rules of Comedy yet.
