  1. https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674291621 Inheritance a book about how conformism work. Is from a Antropologist who lived in Papua Guiné Tribes and realized many things about how culture works, and how slowly humans goes creating this thing called Culture or Conformities. Sinopsis: Each of us is endowed with an inheritance—a set of evolved biases and cultural tools that shape every facet of our behavior. For countless generations, this inheritance has taken us to ever greater heights: driving the rise of more sophisticated technologies, more organized religions, more expansive empires. But now, for the first time, it’s failing us. We find ourselves hurtling toward a future of unprecedented political polarization, deadlier war, and irreparable environmental destruction. In Inheritance, renowned anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse offers a sweeping account of how our biases have shaped humanity’s past and imperil its future. He argues that three biases—conformism, religiosity, and tribalism—drive human behavior everywhere. Forged by natural selection and harnessed by thousands of years of cultural evolution, these biases catalyzed the greatest transformations in human history, from the birth of agriculture and the arrival of the first kings to the rise and fall of human sacrifice and the creation of multiethnic empires. Taking us deep into modern-day tribes, including terrorist cells and predatory ad agencies, Whitehouse shows how, as we lose the cultural scaffolding that allowed us to manage our biases, the world we’ve built is spiraling out of control. By uncovering how human nature has shaped our collective history, Inheritance unveils a surprising new path to solving our most urgent modern problems. The result is a powerful reappraisal of the human journey, one that transforms our understanding of who we are, and who we could be.
  2. I think I had the same intuition Sanders had. Trump said a lot of BS and not addressed the True Elephants in the Room of America Problems. What you Guys Think?
  3. If someone show he or her is open to perspective is possible but we need to be realistic and see when some minds are beyond reach. Yes, some minds can become so closed that no argument can cut through their Bias.
  4. And at same time the Bishop Mariane ask for mercy upon Trans People and Imigrants For sure Trump will ignore this appeal.
  5. Democracy, The rule by the Average Voter.
  6. Yes it maybe too sophisticated to be explained but if it exist and is rolling now it is still possible to understand.
  7. Related to the last post of Warning about that will come to America Do anyone watched the first discourse of Trump. Drill baby Drill!! What else one need to hear to know for who this guy Work for? the Golden Age of America started? Make me laugth.
  8. Related to Low Perpective of Mórmon Dogma and Proselitizing it. This guy show a very good story of someone opening eyes to it and to be able to navigate the situation of stainding in a place of Not Knowing or Existential Crisis. I relate well with his story since I had the same experience if feeling the need to free my self from Mórmon Conditioning and Negotiating the consequences of Leaving all my Worldview behind. Of course that is just the beginning, there is much more sutble fantasies to let go.
  9. Another metric for someone with low perspective vision: Megalomania One example is Constantine, the founder of Constantinople his own city with a big Staute of himself, Mixing Apollo,Mitras and Jesus unto himself. How many other leaders made big statues of themselfs in order to show off their dominance and size? Benito Mussolini.. the Enginners from Prometheus Movie..Olmec Big Heads...
  10. The Evolution of Christianity that many Christians don't wish to admit. and I guess this is even a oversimplification.
  11. The insigth of not being violent not only in physical ways but by not imposing ones ideias and worldviews upon others is deep. It made me remember the practice of Ahimsa or Non-Violence. And reminded me when I was a Mórmon Missionary Proseletazing to humble people about the LDS Church being the restored Gospel on Earth and they needing to be baptized again in order to be saved in the Celestial Kingdoom. Wow, so foolish and low perspective. Luckly I only baptized one girl and she is not memeber from Church anymore. The not imposition of ones Worldview upon others is a hard task. How is possible to pass in life and dont fall unto this trap? WE all do this sort of Epistemic Violence once in a while in life, mainly when we are deeply ignorant and emeshed in a group,church,political party etc.. lets adimit, we all do it.
  12. Related to what Leo said in the last video Lower and Higher Perspectives. We have this Human bias that God AKA Jesus Crist,encarnated image of God coming to this specific Planet so Leo Asks " What about other planets? Funny Enough I found today in a friend house a book from Swedenborg " The Earths in the Universe. Page 60 Title say " THE REASONS WHY THE LORD WILLED TO BE BORN ON OUR EARTH AND NOT ON ANY OTHER
  13. Watched 1 hour already. I was once one of those guys who belived God had put Dinossaurs bones in the earth to test our faith. Such a fool I was, of course was not God who did it, was the Aliens or Annunakis. Hehe.. Jokes apart, the episode is gold. I just came from a Holotropic Breathwork and in the past I use to mock with some breathworkers as putting to much Hype into the Breathwork Approach. Well, I now can say something about the true nature of this work with Breath. Is amazing, the energy you feel in your body and the emotional release is liberating. There still some inner material coming for me to process. So,is true, better to not speak about stuff one never had direct experience or studied and inquired for long time and experience.
  14. Leo Simply Revealing How he did it. A forum trully dont sprout from thin air
  15. One Thing is Awakening to God Love but the next level is awaken to Viking Love hehe
  16. Sometimes one need to hold some pearls back
  17. I understand you Leo. Even the videos you put out by now are so radical that I dont find so often people at the level to listen or value them. Even I watch with care now because I know the effect the messages will have in my system weeks ahead.
  18. Interesting Leo, I am also not so called to triping nowadays. One of the reasons are health but also because I decided I will trip deeper when I am not surrounded by so many idiots. To be super open around fools is not healty. Foolishness is infectious, so for now I decide to be more grounded.
  19. Ok maybe the title is pretentious but some images are really cool and creppy, mean, creppy in case they are real images of real experiments
  20. When you live a fantasy Truth burns like Fire. https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-106 The question is what constitutes fantasies and what corelated truths burn that specific fantasy. For every fantasy there is a flick of truth that burn that fantasy away.
  21. Imagine when quantum chips will be integraded with AGI.
