Damn I wonder what alzheimers would do to someone who had all these realizations. It would basically just make you more and more unconscious and undo all the meditation work within a couple years right?

I just read the book "The Nature of Consciousness" by Rupert Spira. In the afterword Bernardo Kastrup makes a quite good point I have some questions about. Bernardo gives an example of how the Mathematics for Non-Euclidian Geometry were invented, basically as a theoretical challenge when everyone knew that space was flat. Einstein later showed that it turns out that space is indeed curved and all the theoretical mathematics is correct. There was even a paper written about such cases: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences Kastrup argues that this should not be a surprise to a non materialist. If the world is mental, it is reasonable that human rational thought is not seperate from it and can therefore model it accurately by intuition. This contrasts with the view that all science is just a model and the world is infinitely complex and can never be truly modeled. Some models are of course simplistic and totally wrong but if all truly is one, why couldn't the mind intuit correct models when these models come from the same source as the world itself, like witth the non-euclidian mathematics? Am i not getting something? Is Bernardo wrong ? Or is the "Map is the Territory" split to harsh ?

But aren't there degrees of bullshit? Like flat-earth theory compared to quantum mechanics. One of these models is far more accurate at modelling the real thing. Or would you put them all on the same playing field?

Would you agree with Bernardo that accurate models can be intuited because the model making itself is part of the oneness? Or do you see it as a totally separate human-centric process?

After contemplating a bit I came to this conclusion. Maybe the models are never the thing itself, and they can't ever be totally accurate. But at the same time the best Mathematicians might be able to intuit shockingly accurate models about the movements of mind as a large.

The content of the book aside, it still influenced centuries of human history.

There is this possibility in Youtube to divide the video into sections with different headlines. Especially for the actualized.org videos this would be extremely helpful, especially if you are looking for some specific information in an older video. I think this can only be done by the creator, but maybe we can break the newer and older videos down into sections and Leo applies them?

Man why would you unironicaly say your book is going to be more important than the Bible ? This makes this community once again look like a cult. So even if it is more important than the Bible, just let the book speak for itself. Other than that, great blog video!

Any plans? Of course Leo deserves a break and that is fine, the rate of content is usually insane. I just don't want to look forward to it every Sunday and be let down.

I've just put my life savings into this to own the capitalists.

@Leo Gura How exactly is it karma if the hedge funds use dirty tactics to not lose their risky bet? Would it be your prefered outcome to have all the daytraders losing their money by not letting them buying stocks, save the hedge funds asses and let them go on making risky bets for years to come? I agree it is a unconscious riot-like situation on the subreddit, but so what? In the end it is just people discussing a stock on a forum and then deciding to buy in a frenzy. Nothing illegal about that. Should a situation like that be regulated from happening again? Sure. But not while it is happening. Let the current rules play out fairly and then regulate it. These hedge funds played with unfair advantage at the casino and now it's biting them in the ass. I really don't see how the people are at fault here. Both exploited the current rules, some for years, some for a couple days. Sometimes things need to be shaken up to change, and then both sides are going to be regulated. Shorting 150% of a stock is as ridiculous as the current situation.
