Yeah, that is the delusion.

AI is misleading because it is not intelligent, that's all you need to know. For practical purposes? Sure it works, just like it was useful to go to a library two centuries ago...

Homophobia. (gay community, lgtb too, but already on the list) Thinking a language is the best.

Unless you know how to read upside-down

The example about the Earth map that was mentioned, just displaying it always the same fixed position. That's a good example of conformity. Like if you try watch a map of Earth 90 degrees someone will correct you and it will make you think that's the correct way (conformity). Because the position doesn't change anything about the accuracy of the map really.

Every response chatGPT gives = conformity. It will correct anything that doesn't conform, especially if it doesn't conform with science terminology even though what you write makes more sense. Which leads to the following point: people mindlessly posting content produced by IA are the biggest conformists.

I didn't say that and you're twisting my words. I know this shit is very deep so I don't make such claims unless I am a hundred percent sure. A peek into God consciousness will not make you understand everything (maybe), but it surely will make you understand survival more. I am genuinely curious about understanding survival.

Your home will be full of shit, that's for sure

You need to replace that vice with a healthier vice, and repeat again after. Smoking is frying your brain cells, so chose a new vice that at least don't do that. It is not that hard to replace that "happiness" feeling of cigarettes.

@hyruga @Leo Gura Thank you guys

I want to read good books on how to be an entrepreneurship, and the mindset behind starting/running your own business. Have you read any good books on the topic? I am not looking for "how to invest" type of books.

Nice way to cut yourself from God.

Having a dog in your fucking apartment, that's conformity.

Yeah I see. First of all, I really don't know what kind of business model will I be developing ultimately. As a base value I want to create a business out of my passion and this is a function of personality. For some people that might mean a business of reselling a product, or doing Real Estate. But you rarely see a business model that's based on creating your unique stuff, and I am quite obsessed with that idea. But who knows, maybe at some point I will need a side hustle and my approach will completely change.

Yeah, good question. I picture something being done for the first time for example by accident, and then gets replicated out of conformity and low consciousness, and that's the heart of it. Then you have thousand of traditions because of that. And the key here is questioning I see a lot of confusion with participating in social dynamics and conformity. Being social is just baked very deep, but doesn't mean it is conformity. And at the same time they're tied to one another, that's probably why it gets so confusing. Like, you can pursue social interactions without participating in conformity. But how do you know if a picture book is more valuable? Does it really replace a traditional book?

All of your examples were good. But reading books? There's more nuance to it. And cutting nails/hair? Actually healthy, in fact the conformity exists in tribes that let them grow dozens of inches.

Great I'll check those. There has to be a good book on the topic, like a really good one. But sometimes I just prefer the practicality of a book. Besides that I find those guys quite shallow, but I'll double check Perfect, thanks. I'll have to sort through a lot of them and do the screening anyways.

But consider how you started smoking. You had to tough up the smoke going to your lungs for the first time just out of conformity. Now you're an addict, it doesn't apply...

@Thought Art Cool, thanks. "The personal MBA" seems to be more related to what I need. Is very hard to find holistic books.

I don't think the title is wrong though... although there is the healthy and the unhealthy way of surviving. Obviously if you had an awakening you would understand all of this limbo more deeply.

I did 20 minutes of mindfulness after reading this thread. Honestly it is a powerful tool, to just observe yourself uninterrupted.

You have a good point. Often times seeing the big picture comes from engaging a lot with the minutia. Or following the example of sports, an athlete spends time with the minutia of health and fitness, working on things that if you see isolated have not apparent connection with running, but then they make up for the best result in the final run. But have in mind that training, as much as you get involved in the details, is done with a big picture in mind. You mostly do this without explicitly saying "ok, so my big picture is x, y, z", well maybe yes, but what I mean is that this is always working for you 24/7 in the background if you have a good sense of purpose. This touches the subject of the video, the human mind works this way. I am not only talking of life purpose, just survival. There is super intelligence that works for you very fine tuned. A lot of Christian people will not go beyond that paradigm if we are honest. I was baptized myself and went to a religious school, so at one point in my life I experienced the world as one does following Christianity. You have hundreds of quotes from the bible that you can use very conveniently to make up whatever story you want. I never got sucked that far luckily.

Dear actualized friends, I took notes of a particular thing that I liked. You may recall those parts of the episode. 1. Someone into Christianity experiences the world as Christian, whereas a scientist experiences it as material. So my question is what's the best worldview to see reality? What's the accurate way? Possible answers: Having deconstructed rationality Knowing how meaning is created. How objects enter the field of reality, how definitions are constructed 2. Counting numbers is mystical! But how do you explain this? Imposible. But understanding this is insanely important to acing life (acing yourself, your program) What I see in my own life: because of the way my habits are settled down I am hurting my ability to produce good sense-making. Big picture sense-making, grasping the big picture of things. I can feel into this mystical experience at first, but then get lost in rational micromanagement. I am good at seeing the overall arch of things but I need to double down on it, it is extremely important to pay more attention to that than to anything else. So a perfect long term objective: breaking free of rational micromanagement and in turn placing myself in a place where I grasp the most big picture aspects of reality every time.

Developing meaning takes a lot of years.

Ugh, that sucks. The beauty of the skill that you have acquired is that it can come back years later with a more mature mindset, and a more creative starting point. You can absolutely work as a musician, today easier than ever. But that doesn't guarantee that it will be less draining and you can end up in this same spot after another 3 years... The solution to wage slavery is making a passive income (great technology, assuming you don't scam). That's why I want to incorporate as much skill as I can so I can produce a genuine product. That's the only way I see myself generating wealth in the long term.
