True, with all thing that end up entering into the Large public awareness there was always a massive long term expousure to eye ball and ears since humans ahave very short term span of attention, and today we basically live in the Age of Attention of Disattention Anyway: just also sharing here a tool here: I am using this Search Site very interesting to clear cut search instead of the vicious Google and Edge and others, is called Perplexity. it allows to filter the search better : https://www.perplexity.ai/ In the left-up there is a opition called : New Thread Cntrl I that opens the folloing box -

So what about the ideia of using group inteligence here and breaking Daniels talks into structured chunks and then using AI to reformat everything in a more narrative call to action way, similar to the way the narrative goes in Global Warming Documentaries that go viral? I mean, get the abstract and turn into something one could say to Highschool kids and they would be like : WHOAAAAA!! -
I was looking for Reviews on Roger Penrose book " The emperors new mind" and I got many similar ones suggestions on Goodreads. I am into giving a try on reading a bit of science books these year, to balance the easy readings on self-help and so on. Anyone of the good readers here can give a clue of this book is worth spending time on? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36341728-lost-in-math?ref=rae_9 A contrarian argues that modern physicists' obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science. Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth.

Of course you are not smarter that the whole Universe, because you are the Whole Universe for now cristalized as a little self encapsulated population of cells and bacteria in a constant struggle to keep going on and on, but still this process demands high intelligence that is not coming from you ego and you dont need to do absolutely nothing to it work as it is less than supply to it food, rests and all you daily activities, God is the ultimate Authority but we wish to stay selfish and think we are the ones and not God. But this stubborness is God too, so nobody to blame, is all your fault and nobody falt at same time, you live with the paradox or keep thinking and thinking till you get bored, Just enjoy and Create shit, Art, Music, Food, Joy, Wisdom...

levels of Philosophy, Meta-Philosophy is what he is talking about, most of philosphy is just mind asking questions to mind and retro-feedbacking answers using its pre-conditioned knowledge base just as an AI learning machine, language talking with language. Even a Macaw can be a philosopher -
I dont know if this video is allowed here. if not feel free to take out. But i feel it adds to some insigths, mainly if we think that in the future maybe in a very far guture, this practice became more spread in the future humanity. If humans become more wise of course

Nice Video, lets just enjoy for what is without adding our bias on it.

For what I read on the comments and the kind of questions here in this forum, most participants would end up needing a professional Integrative service instead of opening such kind of experience. as you said, form the corageous and RESPONSIBLE ones. like Leo said somewhere, some awakenings can end up imparing you capacities to daily life survival. -

What basicsly each and everyone is doing is this: Making questions to themselfs and answering the questions to themselfs with a language that they arbitraliy got from their enviroment, no so different than a macaw repeating sounds or an AI giving outputs with the inputs it got. And since all you got from the outside is already inside you just got all from yourself or better from SELF. -

Making a resarch for a client who I am helping to create the Conceptual and Imagery Context for her brand I go this nice explanation of why Odin lost one Eye, NAD IF you contamplate this is not far from what anyone need to do to acess a vast ocean of Wisdom: Key words on Bold : WHY ODIN IS ONE-EYED Odin in an Icelandic illuminated manuscript (18th century) Odin’s quest for wisdom is never-ending, and he is willing to pay any price, it seems, for the understanding of life’s mysteries that he craves more than anything else. On one occasion, he hanged himself, wounded himself with his spear, and fasted from food and drink for nine days and nights in order to discover the runes. (HERE WE READY CAN SEE HE WAS REALLY DEDICATED ) On another occasion, he ventured to Mimir’s Well – which is surely none other than the Well of Urd– amongst the roots of the world-tree Yggdrasil. There dwelt Mimir, a shadowy being whose knowledge of all things was practically unparalleled among the inhabitants of the cosmos. He achieved this status largely by taking his water from the well, whose waters impart this cosmic knowledge. When Odin arrived, he asked Mimir for a drink from the water. The well’s guardian, knowing the value of such a draught, refused unless the seeker offered an eye in return. Odin – whether straightaway or after anguished deliberation, we can only wonder – gouged out one of his eyes and dropped it into the well. Having made the necessary sacrifice, Mimir dipped his horn into the well and offered the now-one-eyed god a drink. An Interpretation The most general and obvious message of this tale is that, for those who share Odin’s values, no sacrifice is too great for wisdom. The (unfortunately fragmentary) sources for our current knowledge of the pre-Christian mythology and religion of the Norse and other Germanic peoples are, however, silent on exactly what kind of wisdom Odin obtained in exchange for his eye. But we can hazard a guess. The fact that Odin specifically sacrificed an eye is surely significant.In all ages, the eye has been “seen” as a poetic symbol for perception in general– consider the astonishing number of expressions, both in everyday usage and in the works of the great canonical poets, that use vision as a metaphor for perceiving and understanding something. Given that Odin’s eye was sacrificed in order to obtain an enhanced perception, it seems highly likely that his pledge of an eye symbolizes trading one mode of perception for another. What mode of perception was exchanged for what other mode, then? The answer to this question lies in the character of Mimir. Mimir, whose name means “The Rememberer,” seems to have been the being who told the gods how to live in accordance with ancestral tradition, and with wisdom more generally. In the tale of Odin’s discovery of the runes, Odin sacrificed what we might call his “lower self” to his “higher self.” Here, his relinquishment of an eye should surely be understood along similar lines: he exchanged a profane, everyday mode of perception, beleaguered with countless petty troubles, for a sacred mode of perception informed by divine, ancestral wisdom.

@destroyx6 true, sometimes we have visionaries and they are not exactly the ones who will implement the change, they come just to be prophets of a new vision, and this ready take a lot energy, they bring the voice and others bring the hands, we cant be everything. I strangely was listening this song while writing these https://open.spotify.com/intl-pt/track/1az81rJLzs4sRx0aFcweoo?si=986bec76e58f44f2 -
Well among other readings I am doing these days and making art and editing y new commom book, I want to share that I am taking time to make my own summaries of the Videos I most like, not in a particular order, just the ones that I fell conect with some insigth that vibes with my daily life topics Since I was imersed in my Commombook builting I remembered to check the video about it and also the video about Content vs Structure. this one below : So what i think is nice to do is to make a summary for yourself. why? because maybe I f I would make to someone else I would have the tendency to adapt it to capture most of the examples he gives in the video, I personaly dont need all the content of one video. sometimes what really get are one or another highligth I will of course not post in the forum all summaries I do . I just sharing this just to give one ideia : my Summary end up filling a small page in I will post here. Probably some videos are unsummarizable (for example the video WHAT IS ACTUAL) because are more a guided meditation and not a explanation of conceptual ideias , my guess: Content /Structure Dvd disc (Structure) vs Data on it (Content) English Language (Structure) Stuff writen or thougth is Content built with English structure Event (Srructure of it ) vs (Contents of the Event) Dreams (Structure) vs (Houses,people, dogs…) Movies (Structure) vs (Content ) "You can wake up from a dream by changing content withing a dream, by going to talk with people, catching books, buying a house.. You break up from it by realizing that there is a metalevel in it, you see something so weird going on that you shift attention from the content and you realize the structure and then you BING, ah I am dreming!! And you wake up" Going Meta is needed to see the structures, a steping back to see better the dimentions of it The ideia is be able to see the Underlining Structure of Things, not getting wrap-up in the content Going Meta on Science: Seeing the Structure of it Going Meta on Religion: No see the content but underline structure of all religions (Ideology,Dogma, Authority figures) Reality is Nested Structures Differences in content distracts from seeing the sameness in the structure Examples of this point: Christianity and Islamism (different contents but same structure) Atheist and Theist (Both belive they are rigth and the other is wrong) Start Studying the Structure of Consciouness and dont get lost in Content. The content if a Infinite Sea. Like a fish in the ocean not able to go Meta and undestand the Whole Stucture of the Sea STUDY THE STRUCTURE OF YOU MIND: Projection Denial Ideology Clinging to Ideias and Beliefs Confirmation Bias CheeryPicking Paradigmes Question Begging Self-bias Justification Moralization Group- Think Conformity Cult-psycology Judgement Demonization Ego Emotions Meaning making and storytelling Roles you play Posing You biggest problem is Happiness (it cant be solved on the level of content since all you can add as content will not make longlast change Happines is a Structural Problem, Go meta here and change the Structure of your psyque. Even a Psycadelic brings Bliss Content but after with no change in your structure the effects fade away and you are back to your default structure. Psycadelics is to show the Structure so you go and do the Work on the Structure so you get the fruits. Whatever you go there you are, you take your structure with you, your mindset, habits all..
