This is a nice introduction to epistemology from the grandmaster of sensemaking Daniel Schmachtenberger:

Im excited to listen to this one! This is really high-quality content for free and Elli Anderson is brilliant!

This is hilarious

Nice, that was fun to watch!

Thats an absurdly naive view of social-media. It is quite reasonable to frame the net-result of social-media on humanity as huge spiritual-crisis. Go watch some Tristan Harris or read Jonathan Haidts "The Anxious Generation".

Nice! Michael Jackson was the first artist I listened to back then and I refused to listen to anything else for maybe 2 or 3 years haha. One of my favourites back then:

Totally agree! Im sure Daniel has gone very deep with consciousness too, he just wouldnt talk about it in the same way. Since you can never translate your depth of consciousness to aynone that hasnt been there too anyways I dont see how Infinity/God has more explanatory-power than pointing out that any model can never fully capture reality. Just that the second is the more humble way of describing it that leaves more room for genuine not-knowing. They both point in the same direction.

Crazy stuff, but somehow I keep coming back to this.

Still our technologies havent solved the underlying dynamics that historically gave rise to the fall of civilization. If you read Tainters Rise and Fall of Complex Societies you see that our advanced technologies havent solved any of the underlying causes, but rather accelerate them.

Yes pretty exciting! Denial of the whole phenomena becomes increasingly difficult

Wow! Crazy that they can even "dog whistle" them and reproduce the results.

Super interesting, thx for sharing! I experienced noticing energies more clearly on psychedelics too in a few experiences, although for me it was more visual and I could see a color-sphere around people, so I dont consider your experience to be too woo-woo or new agey .

Interesting! Is this a constant background-sound/activity that changes and warps or does it happen when situations are particularly "energetic"? So im assuming people have energies, so do people have a unique sound-experience associated with them, that is unique to them or are there sound-experiences depending on the "frequency" they are in? The Hawkins energy-model comes to mind with different emotions associated with different frequencies, does that model track to your experiene, so that higher frequency emotions relate to specific audio-experiences and lower frequency emoptions relate to others? And what insights could you make on the energy of people in general?

Sounds quite dramatic, but depending on how successful this coalition can execute on their plans we could be in an radically altered political-landscape in 4 years.

From my last trips Ive done with Malt I always came out with an intense desire to push my life forward in exactly those places that most need attention. In my experience it brings attention to what is really meaningful - this doesnt necessarily mean push harder in the gym or study longer hours. This often means value your most important relationships, have a hard conversation, value your health or face some of your inner blockages. From Shrooms I mostly get a refreshed sense of aliveness and appreciation of things in my life, which may translate to increased curiosity and an increased desire to learn new stuff.

I read hours everyday out of pure excitement

Nice! I just did a little brainstorm too, since this topic is pretty much top of mind right now: Becoming increasingly aware of patterns and whereby gaining leverage over them. Being able to differentiate between stories/narratives and reality. Understanding that stories are not reality. Being able to differentiate between conepts and reality. Understanding that concepts are not reality. Becoming aware and getting rid of limiting assumptions. Getting more space around the activity of thought. Increasingly dis-identify from thoughts. Gaining increased insight on the underlying cause of thought and emotion. Gaining vocabulary to being able to make more sophisticated and useful distinctions in my experience. Developing conceptual frameworks that orient my experience in the most meaningful direction.
