What did you see while tripping and How did it feel like?

I don't see, whats the essence/point of your objection. Im planning to go through a territory that im not experienced/knowledgeable in, therefore I would rather take in the wisdom that others have who are more knowledgeable/experienced in this field rather than just chaotically going through it and elevating the chance of fucking myself up in the end.

Yeah, well, I am okay with some "disorder", but I want to be catious as well.

I have read that other people had their own crazy experiences with kundalini stuff as well. Could you handle the experience (By handling I mean , did the experience had such a big effect on you so that you couldn't do your normal everyday stuff for a couple of hours or days) ? Also how many days/month/years did it take to properly integrate the experience? I only had some kind of heart chakra opening experience. I don't know if it was fully open or not, but it was really profound. I felt a profound and deep connection to all beings in the universe and I could feel deep empathy for all of them without exception and the only thing you care about in that state is to serve and to give to others to the best of your ability without expecting or requiring anything in return (Because in that state you are completely fulfilled and you don't want to get/expect/take anything, you just only want to give and contribute). To be honest I would be down to open up all the chakras, but it seems to me that if its not done right, it can become really overwhelming and could probably cause ego backlash and would probably make it so that I wouldn't do any meditation or yoga for a good while again. Is there any program that you (or anyone who is reading this know of), that shows how to open up the chakras in a systematic way so it won't become too overwhelming?

Yeah thats why the Dunbar's number is important ,and we should probably create something that can scale that number up. The problem of an individual or a group being able to do a harmful action (whether intentionally or not) against a person or against another group of people and then not get any clear feedback back for his/their action and then get away with it (without suffering any negative consequence for their action) is a main problem. I guess, as long as whats important for one person is not directly interlinked or more like directly depended on (in a way where there is almost no time delay between an action and the effects of that action) with whats important for all other people - we will continue to have this problem.

@StarStruck Do you have any experience opening up your chakra/chakras, if so can you share it? or if someone is reading this and have some experience themselves - can you share your experience and the process of how you did it?

@Davino Are you familiar with the idea of opening up 108 chakras? Also how many chakras have you opened up so far and what was your experience doing it? Regarding the 108 chakra opening im talking about, here is a relatively short video (about 8 minutes long) Sadhguru explaning it in more detail what Im referring to:

Most vegan arguments don't hinge on any materialist worldview - it can be compatible with most religions or in other words - being a vegan doesn't necessarily contradicts most religions ethics code .

Yeah I think he said it multiple times, that Shiva probably was an alien (based on its origin story and based on how incredible and powerful he was -all according to Sadhguru) he even made a 112ft Shiva statue

Thats a seperate issue, but at least because of the guy in the video, we have at least some kind of a structured relatively short summary of the topic. It can be used to lure people in who are kind of curious about these things. The question of "how to motivate powerful people to understand these things" or "how to make them act in line with these things" is not directly related to the format how this knowledge presented as, imo.

@Rafael Thundercat Try to watch this summary, this might help you sensemake better: Link to the ppt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12lxz86Bznxe-8R-iteWZdEgw05SuFrT3/view Video that talks about the ppt:

Bing is way too restricted unfortunately. I prefer using an open sourced model like GPT4all. You can download it and use it on your pc locally. There are multiple open source models that you can choose from. They are much smaller compared to GPT4, but it can get some job done + it can read all the documents that you give it access to + it doesn't have any restrictions placed upon it, and most importantly it is run locally on your pc and it doesn't even need internet access to be run, so no one will have access to your info.

If you can't come up with arguments that are applicapble to all forms of incest (or in other words, applicaple to the whole category of incest) that case you are not making arguments against incest, you are making arguments against specific types of incest. If you want to make moral arguments against incest - come up with one that attacks a point that is inherent to incest not just inherent to specific types of incest.

Satellite images could be super useful to investigate some of the recent UFO stories or incidents - I don't know why no one tries to use those for either debunking or for proving a case.

What do you think about an AI that was made by Aliens (maybe possibly millions of years ago)? I think the probability to encounter a highly advanced AI (that was made by an intelligent alien race) is more likely compared to encountering face to face with an alien race. You can have certain alien races going completely extinct and still lefting behind an intelligent AI that slowly travels through the universe looking for intelligent life.

Becuase you purposefully phrase things in an adverserial and controversial and simplistic way and then after that you act like you wanted an honest inquiry into whatever topic that you bring up. This highlights how you engage with ideas: You don't dissect them, you don't contemplate about them, you don't think critically about them, you fish for a guy with credentials who reinforces your already existing biases about a topic. but regardless.. This guys PhD has literally no bearing on anything. He makes statements that are outside of his wheelhouse so just because he says things you agree with and click with your biases you act like you care about PhD-s when in reality, if I would bring another PhD who says the complete opposite, you wouldn't move or reconsider your position at all.

@Danioover9000 John and Daniel collab is really cool , good share! I hope they will collab more in the future, because these topics are extremely valuable. The more they get to know each other and each of their frameworks and works and word usage, the better and more deeply they can engage and converse with each other in the future.

Ohh okay, then thats makes it much more clear.

Where is the sophistry? I have never ever seen from literally anyone before making as deep and as coherent of an analysis of our structural and systemic problems before as Daniel and as other game B people did. Never seen anyone laying out the concept of moloch and the multipular trap problem etc, all I have seen is certain people and experts giving incredibly naive and reductive solutions to problems that they don't even understand in depth and breadth themselves. I have also never seen anyone as passionate about trying to understand and solve these problems as Daniel is. He is paying a lot of money hiring teachers that can help him understand certain facets and aspects of the problems, he is hiring people for certain positions , he is networking incredibly hard to connect to as many relevant people as possible to elevate his understanding and to make the collective intelligence network constantly bigger which also entails connecting the right people to each other.

Its easy to get triggered especially when it comes to certain heavy topics. I think a good foundation would be something like this, but its obviously hard to follow and this can only work if the other person is good faith as well: 1) If you feel really distressed and or emotional - stop engaging with people on the topic and try to relax a bit until you feel more grounded emotionally. 2) If you sense, that certain people are triggered about certain things to do point that its almost impossible to have a reasonable back and forth with them - stop engaging with those people until they cool down. 3) Always seek clarity and understanding: In the middle of the discussion if you feel confused you can always ask "what is that you try to establish with your argument?" Be clear to yourself and to your interlocutor whats your goal in the discussion and then ask the question if its necessary whats your interlocutor's goal in the discussion. This will give a clear frame and context how to interpret your interlocutors points and thoughts. When someone says something that seems incorrect or stupid on its face - try to give them the benefit of the doubt and ask clarifying questions if that person actually meant what you think he/she meant. Try to reiterate the other person's position in your own words to demonstrate how much and how well you understood his/her points Ask them to reiterate your points in their own words to see what and where the misunderstanding or disagreement actually is. 4) Try to steel-man the other persons position to the best of your ability to demonstrate that you try to be good faith.

sorry, didn't know.

Without clear and well structured thoughts, you will have a hard time articulating them clearly. Ideally you don't want to organize your thoughts on the go. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned here is the learning of propositional logic. You can learn it in a few days and it will be very helpful because it will teach you a formal and rigorous way to structure your thoughts. Im not suggesting to try to use it here or to from now on only communicate using that kind of formality, but I would suggest to play with it for a while, because it will teach your brain to cut the nonsense and bullshit and to try focus on the essence of things. It will also help you to build and to read the inferences and the connections between premises better - basically it will help you to organize your thoughts about a topic, before you want to speak on it. My other advice would be to try to make analogies in a context that your listener is well-versed in.
