This view is dangerously naive. There will be such a huge number of unintended-consequences - which we are already beginning to experience - that it will take us years of scientific research to even start figuring them all out. Also, were the people right or wrong about being afraid of the internet when it came out? Sure it brought a lot of good stuff. But there is also a lot of harm being caused by the internet. I think even if youre quite a conscious internet-user there are a lot of sneaky little ways it influences your experience of life.

Not sure if I am a bit deluded here, but if I listen to Owen, and really earnestly try to get what he is saying I feel like he has some really deep experiential-understanding in some areas. Some of his insights seem to be gained by deep observation of experience. Of course he has some distortions and biases, especially related to Politics and Pickup Culture, but some of his experiential-insights are spot on.

With Mark Zuckerbergs record-history of not caring about the unintended consequences of his tech at scale he shouldnt even be allowed to aspire something like this.

Finally a new podcast episode with Daniel Schmachtenberger on the structural-systemic causes of chronic disease. The original conversation was 4 hours and this is the condensed version, so you might want to wait until the uncut version is online, but as always when Daniel speaks super valuable stuff in there:

Lol. Sure!

Jordan Hall - who easily qualifies as one of the sharpest minds out there - and specifically his Deep Code series, where he shares his most fundamental concepts to think about civilization seriously: ManTalks on Healthy Masculinity: And if youre into cooking, I love the Channel Chaplins Classic, a New York kitchen chef, his videos are very entertaining, comforting and authentic and you will learn from a true master of his craft - I upped my kitchen-skills a lot by watching his videos:

Damn I completely missed its both Cameron Winter, I listened to 3D Country a lot last year but didnt recognize its the same guy singing.

Tristan Harris is one of the clearest voices speaking on technology and AI:

Yes! Back then when I watched it, it spoke to me on so many levels it felt quite personal.

Nice, thanks for sharing! Excited to dive into it.

You havent been seriously blackpilled on the progress narrative then: https://consilienceproject.org/development-in-progress/ The best we can do is to get more humble and acknowledge the vast complexity and that we are nowhere close to fully understand and steer this thing and then find a more harmonious relatioship to this complexity.

I can definitely see the synergy between Shpongle and ketamine

Do you live in Germany? Problem is that the party that people usually vote if they are "against mass immigration" is the AFD, which is definitely the party running the biggest propaganda-machine in Germany.

Great question! I have wrestled with this question many times in my journey. Over time you develop an increased sensitivity of how you can point people gently towards the higher perspective. Oftentimes it is impossible in one single conversation and only works through continuous conversations, where you slowly place the breadcrumps just one step before their feet. So you can slowly and gently influence over time and allow for an organic growth of understanding in your partner. One technique that is helpful is to point out how you grappled with a certain question yourself and shared a similiar view as your counterpart. You describe how you undergone the process towards a certain insight and by describing it give the other the possibility to go through the same process. Questions in a spirit of open inquiry are also always a good way to start a process of understanding in your partner and guide him to realizing the limitations in his own perspective. In both of these you kinda avoid resistence by putting yourself together in the same shoes and not you pointing at him. Of course a certain amount of open-mindedness is necessary in your counterpart otherwise it will be a very difficult job.
