Either you ask or you probe through escalation - its not that complicated.

Its even worse - you can cut the middleman and produce all this shit as the consumer, just through pure will or dreaming or whatever you wanna call it. This is where mysticism and technology will intersect.

That would be a very naive "woke" person. A person that thinks holistically would know that starving to death isnt helping all your brothers and sisters that are starving to death as well, and that sometimes you have to get your hands dirty to build a better, more just system. Its a slippery slope of course, but just rolling over and dying is unacceptable in my view.

I can just tell my AI to create an artwork of x in the style of Aaron Limonick. It really is that bad, and there really will be no need for any human artists in the forseeable future. Everyone will just create whatever art they want to consume on the fly, and with brain-machine interfaces, it is even feasible to have AI create art based on your current neurochemical state or whatever, that pushes all the right buttons for you - in real time. As far as making art just for arts sake - great! but dont expect to get paid for that.

Check out Ken Wilbers work, he talks about this ad nauseam. Also, since you are aware of spiral dynamics, you will know, that postmodernism is called stage green, and there are two higher states being postulated - should make you wonder, whether postomoderinsim is really that sophisticated.

I cant take Andrew Schulz talking about awakening seriously for some reason.

"Hey, are you in a commited relationship right now?"

This is one of the greatest dance records ever IMO, and comes stylistically quite close to your prompt.

Im working on both I dont mean to over-complicate things, its just that there is precise language to communicate my point, so I might as well use it. I dont think my point requires any prior knowledge of these concepts to be understood.

Yeah, its a fucked up situation, you definitely got my sympathy. The only practical consideration I can offer is embracing the technology and using it to make better art. The AI doesnt create art itself, you have to give it some kind of design constraints and thats a whole engineering/design gig in itself. You could also use some kind of hybrid process of sketching out something and then feeding it into the AI. Just some food for thought.

Thats a great way to end up in a mental institution.

Top bloke.

Alexander Bard is full of shit IMO lol

You are not conscious of what "selflessness" is referring to. You are just ruminating on some conception of "selflessness," that you have arrived at intellectually. This is self-evident from your analysis, so dont bother arguing with me.

The logic of "you are the product of the 5 people you spend the most time with" also applys to the people you spend time with. If you actually commit to these relationships and model good behavior in them, you may inspire them to go to a retreat with you. These things take time, but I have gotten some of my best buddys to meditate, contemplate, take psychedelics, take their personal development seriously, get curious about Life, prototyping their Life Purpose etc. just from embodying and radiating these things myself. Also, this will create a virtuous cycle between those friends, where if I leave them alone, they will mutually reinforce those tendencies in each other to some degree, and maybe even spread it to their friends. This is the intelligence in the logic of "be the change you want to see."

This record is really uniquely beautiful. Its this erotic neo-psychedelic ballad, and has such a dreamy and nostalgic quality to it - beautiful stuff.

They will impact your thinking a lot of course. The old saying of "you are the product of the 5 people you spend the most time with" is quite accurate. You can still go about this consciously and integrate these personalities into yours, without them interfering with your values and principles. For example I sometimes catch myself speaking like my boss; when I do, that gives me the opportunity to transcend this unconscious acting out and integrate it into my self, where it is now part of my repertoir of behavior, that I can consciously engage in (i.e. individuation). This is pretty much in line with Jungs "Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" and may be a bit woo, but I think it kinda helps to keep in mind.

If you drop your expectations and just accept people for what they are, you can have meaningful relationships regardless. Most people you meet will never satisfy your standards of wisdom and consciousness, so thats just something you have to accept and take it from there. The biggest trap is putting yourself above those people and interacting with them from a place of superiority; you will never genuinely connect with anyone that way. Set the frame of "were both humans and in this thing together" and treat people like your equals not your inferiors, and you will make genuine, deep and satisfying connections with them. This is all about loosening up and not taking yourself so seriously.

"How to talk to anyone" by Leil Lowndes is a great primer on this, but you really just need to meet more people and deliberately practice being extroverted.

The way you improve this is by developing yourself to be more grounded and non-reactive and then modeling that behavior to her. You can not fix her, you can only fix yourself and step up your game. In my experience, you have to be pretty stoic to attempt having conscious relationships, but of course it always takes two, so there is only so much you can do. Daniel Schmachtenberger is a great role model for conscious communication, maybe you can pick up a thing or two from him. In the end, most people dont even want to have a conscious relationship, it takes so much maturity and commitment, and most people would rather keep their sloppy ways, so you should probably do a deep inquiry as to whether this is actually something you want to embody at this point in your life.

Even if the stuff you are taught in university is relatively shallow, you will still get more out of it if you actually take it somewhat seriously and show up (Im studying psychology myself, for what its worth). You will start to resent your studies, if you feel like youre above it, and in that case, why even do it? Also, university is one of the best and most fun ways to meet people, improve your social skills and just have a good time, so dont waste that.

Preciate the honesty and tone you have adopted recently, this makes you far more relatable and inspiring, than just acting like youre above everything.

Its all about balance IMO.
