  1. @Ishanga Wishing you the best in your next phase of life!❤️
  2. Birthdays, the whole thing is such a construction
  3. Note: Due to the complexity of the topic and being English not my main language, AI was used to better articulate my own insights. For years I tried to picture what is the next evolution beyond late-stage capitalism: one that is grounded and doesn't fully rely on the progressive evolution of collective values. My sticking point was structural: even if society’s values shift towards stage green of spiral dynamics (e.g. care, inclusion, sustainability), a profit-maximizing firm would still tend to get the upper hand because it can extract surplus (profits) for owners, raise capital aggressively, and scale faster. In a market engineered around maximization, “being nicer” is not a winning strategy; it’s a competitive disadvantage, unless the rules of the game change. After years of no success, some days ago I had my first important insight: there is no need for a challenging systemic-market disruption. It requires the dominant enterprise structure to evolve. The most plausible evolution of a post-capitalist economy is not the abolition of firms, not communism, not central planning, and not a stage green utopian shift in consumer ethics. It’s the rise of non-distributing enterprises: organizations that can compete in markets and generate surpluses, but cannot legally distribute those surpluses to private owners. Any excess is reinvested into developing their mission, strategic vision and value delivery. This single constraint of 'no private extraction' changes everything and shifts money-centric capitalism to product-value-centric capitalism. It flips the organizing principle of the firm from “maximize profit for owners” to “maximize value delivered to stakeholders while remaining financially self-sustaining.” A non-distributing firm (NDE) can still sell products, pay strong salaries, attract world-class talent, run cutting-edge Research & Development, and become operationally excellent. The difference is what happens to the surplus: instead of leaking upward as dividends and buybacks, it becomes fuel for a compounding reinvestment: higher wages, better tools, better service, lower prices, more R&D, deeper trust, longer horizons. This would give a competitive edge to NDEs over purely profit orange-based companies. So Cocacola would not be a good stock investment but a movement towards making the best beverages. This changes the game because many publicly traded firms are structurally compelled to prioritize shareholder returns, even when doing so conflicts with long-term stakeholder value. In an NDE model, the same cash flows can be redirected into the core activity (e.g. product quality, reliability, innovation, and societal benefit) without requiring a global green value transformation from the collective, as well as bad actors. The main drawback of NDEs is initial capital formation (bootstrapping): as they scale less through equity upside and more through retained earnings, debt, revenue-based financing, procurement, and mission-aligned capital. If those pathways mature, a post-capitalist economy can emerge organically: markets remain, competition remains; but extraction becomes structurally harder, and compounding reinvestment becomes the default. The two greatest risks of non-distributing enterprises are corruption through conversion and decay through complacency. As organizations accumulate value, internal and external pressures push relentlessly towards making that value privately extractable; success itself becomes the danger (e.g. OpenAI). At the same time, removing profit incentives and takeover threats risks dulling ambition, especially at the executive level, replacing excellence with comfort. If unaddressed, these forces ensure that either the most successful organizations betray the model, or the most faithful ones underperform. For post-capitalism to scale, non-distribution must find cases of great success, and performance pressure must be consciously regenerated through culture, reputation, purpose, real accountability, excellence and love for the product rather than profit alone. Post-capitalism, then, is not a rejection of markets, ambition, or competition, but a refinement of what they are optimized for. The shift towards non-distributing enterprises does not depend on a rejection of money, but on whether these organizations can remain attractive places to build, create, and excel while keeping surplus aligned with their purpose. In that sense, post-capitalism would not arrive as a rupture, but as a quiet selection process: where the firms that endure are those designed to compound value for society rather than convert it into private exit. This is my prediction for the next macroscale stage of the global economy, and the structural foundation upon which stage green can realistically take root and endure over the coming centuries.
  4. Having notes in the blog posts make them much better. It's like a counter argument that gives more robustness and holism to the blog post. They are very nice.
  5. The modern psychiatry business is one of the worst crimes done against humanity
  6. @UnbornTao Absolute is a construction, there's no final endpoint/state/space to Reality There are different degrees of Infinity and Consciousness, that only make sense all relative to each other, from holism towards ever greater holism and perfection. All moments are absolute and all absolutes are but relative to each other You're lacking requisite variety. Even your experiences of the 'one absolute' all differ from each other, your idea of something being absolute is an abstraction of your experiences because you cannot trap that as anything in particular. I've been where you are, and it's about being open-minded and becoming more conscious, an infinite more.
  7. I wish for the day we have another interview/talk from . Btw, I'm curious to know what are David's Chapman inputs on the series you're making, surely he's interested in the topic.
  8. Last time I said this in the forum almost got lapidated
  9. @Oliver Wright you'll learn with time that usually less is more
  10. 'Exit Systems To Understand Them' I was gonna come back with the argument what about Actualized.org then, to just remember maybe that's what you did in your long time off.
  11. God is not evil, God is masochistic
  12. Dressing, not even talking about fashion, the way you cloth your body every day is conformism.
  13. Sharing an insight: Rationality fails because Reality is infinite. Rationality works increasingly better the more limited or finite a system is.
  14. @Leo Gura You have broken through how that would look like for an individual, so I thought about the next stage. I just find it fascinating to contemplate the topic in a collective level. The main challenge for the collective is that there's so much entropy that formalism and rationality is what ties it all together. I'll have an eye open for how collective post-rationalism would look like and report insights and possible evidence.
  15. I have a doubt. From an individual standpoint I follow clearly the prerational, rational and postrational path of cognitive evolution, but for a collective (e.g. a company) how would that happen? For example in my job I can see the different evolution stages of a company. First it's all chaotic, informal and inefficient, then through a maturation process and tested methodologies a set of formal, ordered and efficient processes are put into place, that coordinate all the pieces of a complex watch that is a company. I'm curious to see your vision, what is the next step then? After it's all formalised and rational, what is the postrational stage of a collective working together in a company?
  16. Thanks for making explicit 'The Larger Goal Of This Work'. I do understand better why you address positions that many of your viewers are a bit more evolved than. I do suggest you a hybrid approach, maybe in part 3 assume that the viewer is at a higher level and has worked his ass off for years on the last two episodes. What are the advanced traps that only a developed mind would encounter with rationalism 10 years on the line? Or maybe by the end of your episodes, where usually only the most serious individuals stay, start elevating the cognitive development assumption of the one listening. Now I see clearly why you tackle lower archetypes, but see the shadow it creates: you have a niche of your best audience not being addressed, think of yourself 10 years ago, you have to feed the first on the race as well by addressing their position. Think about it.
  17. I've been years without reading/watching news as I felt they were polluting my mind. Now, I want to inform myself more about the world but find no high quality unbiased new resources. So any tips/apps for reading news on the phone and start understanding better the world?
  18. I have independently verified the post 'Everything Is Made Out Of Infinities' and aligns with my understanding of Reality. Infinity is the most beautifully marvellous and terrifyingly magnanimous only Reality. Any serious intellectual delights at the nature of infinity.
  19. And this is how you die because of taking psychedelics. Don't try massive doses like this and If you do, at least have a trip sitter around so you don't crack your skull open with a rock or injure other people.
  20. This man is brilliant, it's very different to watch a few shorts from him to a full interview or book. This is elite 0.1% mentality and it synergizes with personal development and spirituality profoundly.
  21. Just watch the interview. Signing off PD: another interesting one
  22. To name a few after a quick GPT search: What have you achieved? Please tell me. Maybe you do have something to learn about Goggins, open your mind to such a possibility. It's not like I'm saying anything crazy, I don't understand all the hate towards his figure. I was kinda skeptical as well, but the more I know him and watch his interviews the more I realise how much I can learn from him and how my life has been enriched.
  23. This was a new experience for me and wanted to share it. So after a long 5meo session I went for DMT. Many facets to the trip but I wanna talk about this one. After a DMT peak, I'm kinda settling down and start feeling a weird brown arachnid energy oozing love and approaching me whispering I love you, to which I replied I love you and we got in a loop of saying I love you. It started entering my body from the right top part, I just couldn't wrap my mind about what was happening, but I felt a strong bro male energy (which surprised me even more because I always associates spiders with the feminine in my mind). The whole situation was new and odd but I just said, I trust you bro and let this energy work. It then tweaked my spine and energy/muscles like strings, as we both merged ever deeper. After finishing this process, I said thank you intensely and radiated love. Then I asked him if he wanted anything, to which he said tell me how is it to be human. I saw that a linguistic answer was too limited and just opened my mind and shared memories and insights to which he saw layer by layer and finally holistically, like a wave that expands all the space and then contracts back to its origin. I then asked it to tell me more about him, to which he said he existed in multiple planes simultaneously and that the reality I inhabit is just one of many and that through DMT it's possible to travel and contact other dimensions. I asked do you have a name, he said yes but it's not translatable, I insisted, try to map it to this reality and it was a very cool name, I'm so sorry to not have recorded it because I forgot (yeah those kind of tripping moments you say, I'll never forget in my life, and then you do) it was very unique, alien and the resonance of pronunciation was peculiar. I kinda repeated the name some time. At this point I inquired are you a part of my psyche that the DMT is reflecting back to me. He was so clear with his NO. I inquired further and said well of course ultimately we are all God's Imagination, but the same I can say about you and That one which makes the claim is the same in both of us: so everything was settled then. Some hours have passed and I still feel his presence. I know this shit sounds bizarre and you never know till you live it but wow, what a corollary from the trip. It's one of those edge cases you experience in the psychonaut path that makes you wonder. Anyways, lots of love to my brown arachnid bro, hope to see you soon
